  1. Da Gweat God Badpoopie
  2. Part 4 (The conclusion)
  3.  
  4. >You pull Bruno from the toilet, let the water run back into the bowl.    
  5. >His breathing is fast and shallow.  
  6. >His eyes seem to be focusing on something very far away.
  7. >You run a nice warm bath and carefully, almost tenderly, bathe him.
  8. >Use this opportunity to sponge pony piss off your chest.  
  9. >Bruno doesn’t say anything, he just shivers, even though you know the water is hot.
  10. >Blow-dry his fluff, cooing at him all the time.
  11. >Carry him to the kitchen, get the bag of Pone-treats.
  12. >Carry him to your bedroom, sit on the bed, cradling and rocking him.
  13. >Try to give him a Pone-treat.  You press it against his quivering lips.  
  14. >When you let go, it just falls to the bed.    
  15. >”Bruno, buddy, he’s gone now.  Talk to me!”
  16. >The best he can manage is slow babble.
  17. >”B…bu…ba…b…bad….buh…ba…”
  18. >Great.  You went too far, didn’t you?  
  19. >Check the time.  You need to go meet your editor.  Cancel?
  20. >Sigh.  Nothing you can do about Bruno anyway, not right now.  Maybe what he needs is sleep.
  21. >You tuck him gently into his bed.  
  22. >Leave a nightlight on.
  23. >As you pass through the dining room, the smell of pony shit assails your nostrils.  
  24. >Gotta clean that up… what came over, you anyway?
  25. >Plug your laptop into an external monitor.  
  26. >It works.  Whew.  Put files on a thumb drive.  
  27. >You feel a little less bad about your actions, knowing this is gonna cost a mint to fix, a mint you don’t have.  
  28. >Your cheapskate brother better be ready with his checkbook.
  29. >* * *
  30. >The meeting goes okay.
  31. >Your editor chews you out a bit about the quality of your last article.  
  32. >You explain that you’ve been distracted.
  33. >Family troubles.  Broken computer.
  34. >He’s sympathetic, at least.
  35. >Return home, clean up dining room, crack the windows.
  36. >Hesitate outside saferoom door.  Do fluffies commit suicide?  Or die of trauma?    
  37. >Screw up courage, open door.
  38. >Bruno, thankfully, is asleep, though it seems fitful.
  39. >Sigh, plug laptop into external monitor, do a bit of research online.
  40. >Seems most authorities believe that fluffy ponies have terrible memories.
  41. >Except for three things:  remembering sources of food, very happy experiences, and very traumatic experiences.  
  42. >Great.
  43. >* * *
  44. >The next morning, you awaken to the sound of silence.
  45. >No whining or bucking or pawing at the saferoom door.
  46. >No cries of “Hungwy.” or “Wet out, pwease.”  
  47. >You open the door and peek in.
  48. >Bruno is standing in his litterbox, shivering slightly, staring straight ahead.
  49. >”Good morning, Bruno.”
  50. >He just whimpers.
  51. >Walk over to him.  “Ready for breakfast?”
  52. >He looks up at you fearfully.
  53. >”Come on, I’ll make oatmeal with maple syrup.”
  54. >You pick him up.  
  55. >He panics, squealing and thrashing in your grip.
  56. >”Nuu!  Wet down!  Hafta make poopies in wittabox!”
  57. >You look.
  58. >There’s a little pile in the litterbox.  Fresh, too.
  59. >”It looks like you went, Bruno.”
  60. >He breathes heavily.  “Onwy good poopies… pwease…”
  61. >Well, at least he can talk.
  62. >You carry him into the kitchen.  He whines and whirs his legs but you tuck him under your arm and he gives up.
  63. >He walks in nervous little circles as you make breakfast.
  64. >You put his bowl on the floor.
  65. >He grabs a mouthful and trots toward the dining room.
  66. >”Where are you going, Bruno?”
  67. >”Gwta gff fddi tw bwdpippi…”  
  68. >Oatmeal sprays everywhere.
  69. >Fluffy trying to talk with his mouth full is hilarious, as well as messy.
  70. >”No, Bruno.  It’s okay, Badpoopie is gone.”  You step into the dining room and point to the empty nail on the wall where you hung the mask before.  “See?”
  71. >He sees, but he puts the mouthful in the dish anyway.
  72. >* * *
  73. >Bring computer to shop.
  74. >Drag crappy old laptop out of closet.  Still boots up.
  75. >Bruno is very quiet.
  76. >Before, you would have given a lot for this kind of silence, but now…
  77. >Maybe out of guilt, and maybe out of concern, you set up shop in his saferoom.  
  78. >He’s actually quiet enough that you can work with him in the same room.
  79. >He noses his ball around a bit.
  80. >Bats at his legos half-heartedly, breaking up what he built before, not making anything new.
  81. >Doesn’t snuggle with his teddy bear.
  82. >Spends most of the time either standing and staring in random directions, lying down in the middle of the floor, or standing in the litterbox, softly grunting.
  83. >”Hey, Bruno.  Let’s go watch TV.”
  84. >He whines and cries.  Doesn’t want to leave his litterbox.
  85. >You put in his favorite of his three DVDs, but he watches listlessly.
  86. >Finally, you stop it, grab him, cuddle him to your chest.  You rub and tickle his belly.
  87. >He loved it before, and he does squeak a little, but even that doesn’t get much of a reaction.
  88. >”Bruno… talk to me.  What’s wrong?”
  89. >Bruno sniffles.  Big tears roll down his cheeks, off the end of his nose.
  90. >”Bwuno… go to… fwuffy heww.”  He sobs.
  91. >”Why do you say that, Bruno?”
  92. >”B…Badpoopie say.”  He hiccups.  “Bwuno faiw test.  Make… bad poopies… on fwoor.”  He cries harder.  “Nu wanna… eat poopies, dwink peepees… fowevah…”  
  93. >I’m, er, pretty sure he was kidding, Bruno.”
  94. >”Nuu… He no kidding.  He… Gweat god… Badpoopie.”
  95. >Good job, fuckface.  You permanently damaged a fluffy.  And for what?  He didn’t know any better.  He’s dim as a doorknob.  He didn’t TRY to bug you, or break shit, or crap all over.  It’s just his nature.  
  96. >Well, okay, Bruno was also a spoiled brat fluffy.  But that’s your damn brother’s fault, not his.  If the dog bites, it’s on the owner, not the dog.  
  97. >Fwuffy bwoken.  Er, the fluffy is broken.  Now you have to figure out how to fix it.
  98. >* * *
  99. >Your hopes that Bruno will simply forget are in vain.
  100. >He seems to improve slightly the next day.  
  101. >But then you wake up at 4 am to the sound of blood-chilling screams.
  102. >Burst into the saferoom.  
  103. >You find a ball of fluff crammed into the corner, eyes squeezed shut behind trembling hooves.
  104. >”Nuuu!  Wet down!  Bwuno sowwy!  Nu mean make bad poopies!  Nu mean bweak widdle TV!”
  105. >You wake him from his nightmare.
  106. >You catch him the next day, listlessly wandering the house, bloodshot eyes staring, whispering “Nu wan’ go fwuffy heww… nu wanna eat poopies…”
  107. >Your brother will be home tomorrow.  Think, damn it…
  108. >Bingo.
  109. >Two thrift stores later, you have what you need.  
  110. >That night, tuck Bruno in, wait until you’re sure he’s asleep.
  111. >Unpack the bags.
  112. >Adult male-size party dress (either from a really big girl or a tranny), ratty blonde wig (you hope it doesn’t have fleas), an old pair of shoes that you paint with glue and dump glitter on.  
  113. >Plastic magic wand.
  114. >And the crowning glory… a Disney princess mask from a kid’s Halloween costume.
  115. >Check in the mirror.  
  116. >If anything, you think you look more terrifying in this get-up than the Badpoopie one.  But at this point, you got no choice.
  117. >Start singing in the hallway…  “La la la la la!”  in as high-pitched a voice as you can muster.
  118. >You hear Bruno’s voice from behind the door.  “Wha… who dat?”
  119. >Open the door, click on the light.
  120. >Bruno’s eyes go wide.
  121. >”Nuuuuu!  Munsta!”  He shrieks.  “Hewp, daddy!  Hewp!”
  122. >”I am not a monster!”  You try to squeak, but it comes out as a banshee wail.  “I am your friend!”
  123. >Bruno is shaking, making his little basket bed creak.  “N…no huwt fwuffy… pwease…”
  124. >”Darling Bruno, I would never harm you!  I am… The Great Goddess Goodpoopie!”
  125. >Bruno stops shaking so much.  “G…Goodpoopie?”
  126. >”Yes!  I reward good fluffies and give them nummies and toys!  And you are a very good fluffy. Bruno!”
  127. >You’ve never felt so stupid in your life… but you remind yourself it’s your own damn fault.
  128. >”B…Bwuno not good fwuffy.  Bwuno bad fwuffy.  Bwuno faiw poopie test, an’ bweak thing…”  He starts to cry.
  129. >”But you have been very good since then, so all is forgiven!”
  130. >”Nuu… Gweat God Badpoopie say Bwuno go to fwuffy heww an’ eat poopies…”
  131. >Sigh.  You sure planted it deep, moron.  One more shot.
  132. >You cock your head, hand to ear.
  133. >”Hark!  Badpoopie comes!”
  134. >Bruno shrieks and spins in his bed, trying to hide under his blanket.
  135. >”Stay here, Bruno!  I will dispatch him!”
  136. >You close the door.  
  137. >”WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?  I HAVE COME TO GET BRUNO AND TAKE HIM TO FLUFFY HELL!”
  138. >”Oh, no you don’t, you big bad meanie monster!  Take that!”
  139. >You slam against the wall.  
  140. >”OW!”
  141. >”And that!”
  142. >Throw yourself into the bathroom door.
  143. >”AAARGH!  CURSES!  FOILED AGAIN!”
  144. >You run to the front door and slam it.
  145. >Run back to the saferoom and gently open the door.
  146. >”He is gone, Bruno!”
  147. >Bruno peeks out from under the blanket.
  148. >”Weawy?”  He chirps.
  149. >”Yes.  I gave him big ouchies!”  You wave your wand.  “And I have cleaned your soul!  You are a good fluffy, Bruno, and you will go to fluffy heaven and eat sketties forever!”
  150. >Bruno charges out of his basket and hugs your leg.
  151. >”Fank ‘oo, Gweat Goddess Goodpoopie…”
  152. >He shivers.
  153. >Farts.
  154. >Thunk!  As a turd lands on the floor.
  155. >Bruno turns and looks at it.
  156. >”Sowwy.”
  157. >* * *
  158. >Bruno is his usual self the next morning.
  159. >He babbles on and on through breakfast about how he met the Great Goddess Goodpoopie.
  160. >Runs through your legs, almost tripping you.
  161. >Bounds around the house, running into things.
  162. >Plays loudly with his toys.
  163. >You’re actually glad.
  164. >But even gladder that your brother is finally coming to take the little shit off your hands.
  165. >He arrives just after dinner.
  166. >He has a tan and looks beat.
  167. >”Hey, little bro.”  He hugs you.  He sniffs.  “Why does your house smell like shit?”
  168. >”I fucking wonder.”  You growl.
  169. >Your bro sees Bruno.  He kneels down.  “Hey, there’s my big guy!”
  170. >Bruno trots over, looking at your brother cautiously.  
  171. >”Hewwo, hooman.”  He says.  
  172. >Your brother laughs.
  173. >Bruno looks at you.  “Who dat, daddy?”  He turns back to your brother.  “Hoomin new fwend?  Pway?”
  174. >”Ha ha, you’re such a kidder.”  
  175. >Clear your throat.
  176. >Explain about your computer, the extra supplies you had to buy, etc. etc.  
  177. >Your brother tries to laugh it off.
  178. >You shove him against the wall.
  179. >He gets the message.  He signs a blank check and gives you a big fancy box.
  180. >”Souvenir.”  He says.  “Come on, Bruno.”
  181. >Bruno blinks.  “Why go wif new fwend?”
  182. >”He’s your daddy.”  You say.
  183. >”New fwend… daddy?”  
  184. >He’ll figure it out.  
  185. >Watch the lights as they drive off into the night.
  186. >Go inside.
  187. >Open the box, unwrap tissue paper.
  188. >It’s a mask.
  189.  
  190. >THE END
