  50. >You have two options:
  51.  
  52. >Option 1:
  53. >You are sent to Equestria.
  54. >You are the only one of your kind and is easily accepted into Equestrian society.
  55. >You can become friends with all the ponies you've ever wanted to, and live an easy life.
  56. >The catch is, sex does not exist.
  57. >You will still have your junk, but the ponies will not have anything.
  58. >You cannot convince them to do anything sexual. If you do, you will be sent back to earth.
  59.  
  60. >Option 2:
  61. >Your favorite pony is sent to you, scared and tired.
  62. >She will be affected by the reality-jump for a while, but in time she will grow on you.
  63. >Sex exists, and she will fall in love with you eventually.
  64. >No one but you can know of her existence in this world.
  65. >If even one other person finds out, she will be taken away never to be seen again.
  66. >She won't know that the reason she can't see her friends anymore is because you made a choice.
  67. >You can choose to tell her of your actions one day; but that is purely your decision.

  124. >You briefly consider saying something, but it's not very likely to end well.
  125. >AJ's not the kind of pony to suddenly pick herself up and apologize.
  126. >Better not give the phone back to her yet, either, though. Wouldn't want to dig your grave any deeper.
  127. >"Anon, you done with the phone yet?"
  128. >Too late, she noticed.
  129. >It's not a very optimistic question, and AJ says it with irritation in her voice.
  130. "I am, but I don't want to give the phone back to you, because you're acting immature and this is only going to get worse."
  131. >"What in the hay...?"
  132. >She starts fuming.
  133. >"Just what in tarnation are you trying to pull here, Anon?!"
  134. "I'm not 'pulling' anything, Applejack. You're having a temper tantrum over a little video game, and I'm nipping this misbehaviour in the bud, before it gets out of hand."
  135. >Gotta draw a line in the sand. Bullshit is intolerable.
  136. >"Misbehaviour? Oh, Sun scorch it all, I'm out of here."
  137. "What?"
  138. >You turn in your swivel chair again to see Applebutt clambering off the bed.
  139. "Out of where?"
  140. >"Out of here. Your house. I'm leaving."
  141. >She's left your bedroom, headed for the stairs.
  142. "What? Are you crazy?!"
  143. >You jump up after her. Not a running pace, but faster than walking.
  144. "You can't go out there! You don't know what the world is like!"
  145. >She's taking very harsh, deliberate steps, so it's not very hard to catch up with her.
  146. >"I'm sure I'll figure it out on my own, thanks."
  147. >Thick acid dripped from each word.
  148. "You can't go!"
  149. >"Can't I? Wasn't it you who said something about being able to leave any time?"
  150. >She's got you there, brah.
  151. "Just think about what you're doing for a second, AJ."
  152. >You reach out and put a hand on her back, in an effort to impart some kind of personal touch to the conversation.
  153. >Applejack's head whips around, sending her ponytail into a bounce.
  154. >"And there's another thing, why do you have to keep touching me all the time, Anon?!"
  155. "...W-what?"
  156. >"Ever since I got here, you can't keep your hands off me!"
  157. >How is this even a problem?

  164. >She doesn't like you touching her?
  165. >What.
  166. >Applejack starts back down the stairs, as though stopping you in your tracks gave her some petty satisfaction.
  167. "How is my touching you even relevant to anything?"
  168. >She doesn't stop.
  169. "And it's not like you had any problem with it last night, anyway, when you had me scrubbing your ass clean!"
  170. >Now she stops.
  171. >For a brief moment, the intensity with which the two of you are suddenly going at the argument strikes you.
  172. >It's enough for AJ's menacing stomp back up the stairs to intimidate you into shuffling backwards.
  173. >"What did y'all just say, Anon?"
  174. "Well, look, I just--"
  175. >Before you know it you're up against a wall, with a four-foot pony standing in front of you.
  176. >Stance wide, ears down, pupils contracted. Bearing teeth, even.
  177. >God, she is SEETHING.
  178. >"Ah said, what did y'all say to me?!"
  179. >The way AJ's accent becomes stronger when she's mad is a little unsettling, like she's ready to burst and it's leaking out at the seams.
  180. "Look, can you just calm down and think about what you're doing for a second?"
  181. >"Don't try to change the subject on me, Anon."
  182. "No, YOU don't change the subject! Can we all just sit down and think about what's going on here?"
  183. >"I know damn well what's going on here!"
  184. "Which is why you're so eager to just run out into the unknown and hope for the best, right?"
  185. >Regaining your senses, you start resisting against AJ's oncoming front.
  186. >In the back of your mind you make sure to try to angle yourself out of the edge of the room, so she can't back you into a corner.
  187. >Applejack can't come up with a retort quick enough, so you're back on the offense.
  188. "I've told you before, you have no idea what it's like out there, and even I don't know what people might do to you!"
  189. >The two of you make slow circles around each other.
  190. >"You keep saying 'out there' like it's some kinda dangerous place, and yet you got yer buckin' groceries just fine! It can't be as bad as the horsefeathers I have to put up with in here!"

  197. "What does that even mean, the 'horsefeathers' you put up with in here?"
  198. >You've been nothing if not hospitable, but something inside you tells you that yelling that fact would just make this argument a pointless shouting match.
  199. >Not that it's all that far from that kind of thing already.
  200. >"You think I'm stupid, Anon? Y'all are keepin' me locked up in here like a prisoner, refusin' to let me do anything! For all I know we ain't even on your Earth and this is all a freaky magic show!"
  201. >AJ's face is red, and her cheeks are puffed up in a huff, as though she resents your height difference.
  202. >She's breathing heavy and so are you, but neither is willing to stand down.
  203. >You know you certainly can't, but Applejack is sure to have that same conviction.
  204. "Is that what this is? You think I'm abducting you, playing some kind of sick joke?"
  205. >"That's exactly what I think is going on, Anon."
  206. >She spits your name at you, and you flinch when you feel it impacting your chest.
  207. >You stop circling around AJ, the two of you now having done almost a 180.
  208. "Seeing the show didn't do it for you? All of my hospitality? When I spent hours cleaning your fucking piss from my bathroom floor, that meant nothing?!"
  209. >Your hands are starting to shake, and you're boiling over.
  210. >Applejack stays silent, but in response rips your lanyard off her neck with her teeth, tearing the fabric chain in one powerful movement.
  211. >The clatter of metal link against metal as your trinket hits the carpet triggers hot tears in your eyes.
  212. >You clench and unclench your fists as AJ turns around in a huff. In a warbly voice, you begin again.
  213. "Look. You want the phone? You want to talk? Let's talk. You want to see outside? I'll show you outside."
  214. >You take a step forward.
  215. "J-just please, calm down, and let's talk this out."
  216. >You reach your hand out, to touch, comfort, gesture, anything to show that you're not playing around.
  217. >Applejack is shaking a little, and her tail is starting to twitch.
  218. >She doesn't turn around.

  225. >You hesitate, thinking better of your tendency to approach by touch, remembering suddenly how you'd been called out on this very thing.
  226. >You begin to retract, starting to plan a different approach in your head.
  227. >AJ's tail, however, had other things in mind.
  228. >With a careless flick it flies up high enough to flip into your open hand.
  229. >Uh oh.
  230. >What happens next, happens in a blur, one that only sheer adrenaline allows you to process at all.
  231. >AJ's shuddering form whips its head around, and a face that wasn't quite Applejack's, contorted by rage, yells some words at you in an unsettlingly Southern twang.
  232. >"WHAT'D AH TELL Y'ALL ABOUT TOUCHIN' ME ANON?!"
  233. >You feel a pair of battering rams lift you off your feet and into the air.
  234. >FUUUCK
  235. >Something between a grunt and a yelp is forced out of your mouth.
  236. "HROAH"
  237. >Gravity changes direction in a way that you're not very comfortable with.
  238. >Every muscle in your body tenses up for the impact your instincts know is coming.
  239. >An odd angle comes up to meet your shoulder, glancing off it and digging into your back.
  240. >Wait, that's not what floors do.
  241. >Your legs swing over your body and hit the handrail of the stairs, banging against each wooden baluster as they go down.
  242. >The way it bends your back is excruciatingly painful, but you don't have enough air in your lungs to give more than a squeaky wheeze.
  243. >You tumble into a face-down position and bump your way down to the landing, flipping onto your back partway down.
  244. >You hit the wall at the base of the stairs legs first, and come to rest in a remarkably uncomfortable position.
  245. >Someone somewhere says something, but you can't tell who or what or where.
  246. >You try to take in a deep breath, but you can't, something really heavy is sitting on your chest.
  247. >"--on, quit foolin' around."
  248. >You wheeze something in response.
  249. >"Anon?"

  260. >Your eyes are greeted by white ceiling, somewhere high above you.
  261. >There's a high-pitched drone buzzing from inside your ears, making the air around them feel fuzzy and thick.
  262. >Your back rests on some hard, unforgiving bars--the stairs, right--and one of your legs is bent underneath you in a really uncomfortable position.
  263. >Did you fall unconscious?
  264. >How long were you out?
  265. >The question suddenly grips you as the most important thing in the universe, so you resolve to devote all your effort to figuring it out.
  266. >Where do you have time devices? Stove, computer, phone...
  267. >Phone. Your phone is in your pocket. Is it broken? You hope it's not broken.
  268. >You can feel it jabbing into your side, so there's a chance it hasn't snapped in half during the fall.
  269. >Your left arm, splayed out above you but not terribly banged up, seems to be operational.
  270. >Down it goes, slowly, trying not to disturb your whining shoulder.
  271. >You slip your hand into your jeans pocket, and try to angle the phone out.
  272. >Don't want to put the hand in too far, that would be too much movement. But you really have to get your phone.

  276. >You sleep it again, and drop your hand to your side.

  279. >That's... one in the afternoon.
  280. >Arm down again. Now what?
  281. >You let out a listless sigh, but it quickly turns into a groan when gravity starts pulling on your chest.
  282. >Somewhere, a sack of rocks clatters to the ground and some thumps and scrapes are heard.
  283. >"Anon?!"
  284. >A yellow-orange thing--Applejack?--comes galloping out of the kitchen.
  285. >"Oh, Anon, thank Celestia, Anon, you're still alive."
  286. >Hello, Applejack. How's it going.
  287. >She's got something on her back as she approaches. Something wrapped up in one of your kitchen towels.

  317. >You look down at your exposed, aching chest.
  318. >You can make out two large U-shaped welts, already darkening a little from the bruising.

  325. >AJ is already gone. You call the last few letters up the stairs, as soon as you can remember what they are
  326. >The ice pack is easily within your reach, so you get it. It's pretty heavy, there's a lot of ice in it.
  327. >You don't really want to leave that on your chest, it might hurt.

  333. >You can slowly untangle your awkward, aching legs, and there's little wrong with them beyond bruises.
  334. >However, sitting upright is painful, because it puts pressure on your chest that you can't be bothered to figure out the physics of right now.

  344. >Your chest is throbbing, and you might have broken ribs.
  345. >You have no idea what broken ribs feel like, but it's probably not very healthy to have that kind of shit around.
  346. >As Applejack descends the stairs, holding a cup in her teeth by the rim, you ask yourself, what else is wrong with you?
  347. >Legs, chest, and a big headache.
  348. >Well, no shit, you just toppled headfirst down some stairs.
  349. >Is that grounds for a concussion?
  350. >What are concussions like? You don't think you've had those either.
  351. >You check the pill bottle AJ gives you.
  352. >Yep, it's your leftover prescription of hydrocodone-acetaminophen, from some mouth surgery a while back. Vicodin, probably, but you have no idea where they write that shit on the bottle.
  353. >Doesn't say Vicodin on the tabs.
  354. >Oh, whatever. You pop one--pace yourself--in your mouth and reach for the cup.
  355. >"How are those little white pills going to help you, the hydro do-cones or whatever?"
  356. "No idea. They have chemical in them that makes me hurt less. Opioids or whatever. Makes my head ignore how much it hurts, for a while."
  357. >There's another six or seven in the bottle. Should last a while if you pace yourself. Shame to waste it now, though.
  358. >Alright, where to next?
  359. >You need to rest. Lie down somewhere and sleep the pain off.
  360. >You also need to figure out how to tell if you have any broken bones.
  361. "AJ, you ever break a rib before?"
  362. >She settles down and looks at you, then hems and haws for a bit.
  363. >"Uh, once or twice. Mighty painful stuff... D-did I do that to you?"
  364. >You frown, and that does nothing to uncrease her worried brow.
  365. "I don't know. We'll find out. Right now, I need you to help me. We can discuss things later. Look, my human ribs are right here."
  366. >You slowly draw the outline of your ribcage on your chest, the pain in your neck and shoulders discouraging a faster pace.
  367. "I want you to prod at them and see if any of them feel broken."

  374. Applefag, this Applesack story is something I really enjoy. I hope you don't get tired of being a writefag.
  375. Not that hoping will do anything, but you know...

  381. "If you find any place that feels too tender, or I start yelping, we'll know that's a problem."
  382. >Applejack nods.
  383. >She's clearly letting you take charge of the situation.
  384. >Probably because she's been scared shitless by what's just happened.
  385. >Man, Anon, how are you still operating?
  386. >Is it the adrenaline? Are you just that much of a trooper?
  387. >You feel achy and exhausted.
  388. >You should probably be angry at the set of hooves in front of you, being that they pushed you down the stairs and all.
  389. >But they're not all that hostile right now and you could use all the help you can get.
  390. >AJ starts jabbing at your almost in-shape figure, and you grit your teeth.
  391. >In reality, she's actually very gingerly poking her hooves at your chest, but it might as well have been daggers for all the sizzling marks it left in your nerves.
  392. >You force yourself to concentrate on the pain, so that you don't miss any deviations.
  393. >It's excruciating work, and your clench fists bear white knuckles as testament.
  394. >Applejack finishes her inspection, and wipes a fresh layer of sweat from her head with a forehoof.
  395. >"Nothing too weird to me, Anon."
  396. "Same. Nothing especially tender, besides the welts."
  397. >So you might have some bruised ribs, then. That's what, a month of recovery?
  398. >Your tailbone starts feeling stiff, and you decide that getting off the landing onto your couch would be a logical next step.
  399. "AJ, I want to move to the couch. I think I need your help."
  400. >"Of course, Anon."
  401. "Grab the cup, the pills, and the phone, and take them to the coffee table."
  402. >It's done, wordlessly.
  403. >In the meantime you start to lift/turn yourself up onto hands and knees.
  404. >AJ returns just as you realize how little your shoulders want to support that kind of weight.
  405. >You can get to your feet with moderate effort, but the gut-wrenching sizzle in your chest forces you to lean on the railing, gripping it tightly.
  406. >Applejack quickly gets the message, and offers her head and back as a support by tossing her hat aside.
