- >Day 31 in Equestria
- >Not your 31st day, silly.
- >The specimen's!
- >You're Twilight Sparkle, Celestia's number one student!
- >Yep, thanks to some help from your crazy pink friend, you have an unconscious Anon in tow, lifting him with magic.
- >This is so wonderful!
- >You get to continue some of the wonderful research that Princess Celestia has designated you to do!
- >You will, of course, be thorough.
- >Simply opening him up isn't enough this time!
- >Poking around a bit surely won't hurt.
- >After some walking, you finally arrive at your wonderful tree-library-lab-house.
- >A strange presence washes over you as you open your front door.
- >A feeling like you're being watched...
- >You shrug it off, walking inside.
- >It's probably just Pinkie again.
- >You could swear she sees everything.
- >"Spiiiike!"
- >You call to your faithful little assistant, who pitterpatters down the stairs.
- >"Hey Twili-"
- >He stops as soon as he sees Anon's still form.
- >"Oh, it's...that time again."
- >You nod proudly.
- >Spike walks up, balling his claws into a fist and tapping his knuckles against Anon's ragdoll hand.
- >"Silly, you know he can't react while unconscious!"
- >He looks down to the floor.
- >"I know..."
- >Walking to the wall, he pulls a book out of a case, opening the secret door to your lab.
- >You start down the flights, taking special care that Anon doesn't get injured on the way down.
- >Gotta apply the anesthesia before you start hurting him!
- >Well, at that point he won't feel a thing, so it won't be hurting him, right?
- >Of course not!
- >Completely justified reasoning.
- >Eventually, with the help of Spike, you safely get Anon down the narrow stairwell.
- >You lay him down on the metal operating table carefully.
- >"Spike, prep him for surgery!"
- >You order your small dragon friend as you start getting your tools ready.
- >That feeling that someone's watching...
- >...it's back...
- >...Pinkie must want to watch this time!
- >Meanwhile...
- >That good fer nothin' Twilight's gone and kidnapped Anon again...
- >You, Applejack, ain't gonna let her cut him open again!
- >That old scar still hurts him.
- >And BUCK anyone who wants to hurt him on purpose!
- >Y'all don't give a buck about Celestia and 'er orders.
- >Ya don't treat another p0ny...or person...like that!
- >'Specially not Anon.
- >Anon's been such a nice worker to have around.
- >Granny hadn't been botherin' ya about findin' a stallion to rut.
- >Applebloom always had someone to play with.
- >He even shared drinks with ya, and gave you and your friends a night out!
- >It's why ya went to his house tonight, to properly thank him for doing that.
- >Another bottle of Applejack Daniels, you were sure he'd appreciate it.
- >When ya got there, however...
- >...he was floating away, thanks to a certain purple magic mare.
- >And here ya are, standing in the doorway to her lab while Spike...
- >...um...'preps him for surgery'...
- >...which involves removing his clothes.
- >You see Spike take his garments and bring them away from the operating table.
- >Twilight's busy getting her tools...
- >Now's yer chance!
- >You prep the lasso, and give it a throw.
- >It catches across his foot, yes!
- >With a yank, he falls off the table, landing on the floor with a loud bang.
- >Twilight flips around quickly, staring at the body on the floor, then following the rope to you.
- >Uh oh.
- >A while later...
- >Day 31 in Equestria
- >You wake up.
- >Good morning!
- >You sit up from your comfy pile of hay, stretching out a-
- >Wait.
- >Pile of hay?
- >Opening your eyes, you look around.
- >Yep.
- >Applejack's barn.
- >Looking down, you can see the aforementioned p0ny passed out in front of the barn door.
- >Damnit all...
- >However, that's not the worst thing.
- >While looking down, you can't help but notice that your...
- >...uh, 'soldier' is standing at attention this morning...
- >Which means you aren't wearing anything.
- >Not good.
- >You stand up, careful not to wake the orange mare.
- >Scanning the barn, it's confirmed.
- >No clothes to be found.
- >Fuuuuuuck.
- >Alright, instead of flipping out that you wake up in AJ's barn like this...
- >...again...
- >...you resolve to leave.
- >With no clothes, however, that's not going to be easy.
- >Sure, p0nies may walk around naked, but you have something they don't!
- >...shame.
- >But you need to get out of here before she wakes up.
- >You look around for something, anything practical to cover up with.
- >...
- >...That'll work.
- >Grabbing Applejack's hat off her head, you slam it over your junk and book it out of the barn.
- >Running away from the orchard, down the road...
- >You think Applejack stuck he head out the barn.
- >Ignore it, you have bigger issues to deal with!
- >The town comes into view, as does it's inhabitants.
- >It's not THAT early.
- >You don't really have a choice, considering you have to bust through town to get to your house.
- >Throwing caution to the wind, you hold the hat in place as you dash through town.
- >A lot of ponies get a nice view of your ass as you run away.
- >Somewhere in town, a mint colored p0ny faints.
- >But you don't know that.
- >All you know is that your house is close!
- >Rounding the last corner past Sugarcube Corner, you can feel Pinkie's prying eyes as you rush into your house.
- >It's too fucking creepy!
- >Finally managing to get inside, you close the door behind you and lock it.
- >Home sweet home!
- >A p0ny free haven.
- >Taking a minute to collect yourself, you place Applejack's hat on your head.
- >...your OTHER head.
- >It's where it's supposed to be placed.
- >What a nice way to celebrate a month in this world, eh?
- >A naked streak through town.
- >*sigh*
- >Fucking p0nies.
- >Somep0ny has your clothes.
- >Your good working pair too.
- >Oh well.
- >You change into a basic outfit.
- >Black button-down shirt, blue jeans.
- >You stand in front of a mirror.
- >Not the best for working, but it's not like you have a job to do today.
- >...the hat's nice though.
- >You take it off and leave it in your room.
- >Walking downstairs, you notice the cake on the table.
- >And the note.
- >THE NOTE.
- >Fluttershy wanted you to repair something!
- >Picking up the note, you once over it again to make sure.
- >You can't say no to that.
- >Bits are bits after all.
- >Well, except if you get paid in fucking cake again.
- >Or bird feed.
- >Or whatever Fluttershy has over there.
- >Speaking of the cake, you remember something peculiar about it...
- >...
- >...oh, right.
- >It was fucking delicious!
- >But cake isn't the best breakfast, for certain.
- >You swipe an apple from your apple stash, and give it a bite.
- >Mmmm~
- >You don't want that delicious cake to go to waste, though.
- >Packing it up in it's box, you decide to take it with you.
- >Maybe Fluttershy likes cake.
- >You pocket the note, to show Fluttershy you got it.
- >Grabbing your toolbox, you head outside, fully clothed this time.
- >Walking through town, you can still feel a few stares, likely run offs from your earlier outdoor expedition.
- >Somewhere in town, a mint pony stares at you.
- >"Aww..."
- >But you don't know that.
- >All you know is that Fluttershy asked for your repairing expertise.
- >And you need bits.
- >God damn you hope she pays with bits.
- >After a bit of walking, you arrive near Fluttershy's cottage.
- >You have to assume it is, at least.
- >It's a quaint little place in the forest, and the animals all around are a dead giveaway.
- >A bird even lands on your shoulder!
- >It leaves quickly.
- >Not before shrieking in your ears though.
- >Damn birds.
- >Walking up the dirt road, you approach the front door.
- >*knock knock knock*
- >A few seconds later, the door cracks open.
- >"H-hello...?"
- "Hey there."
- >Realizing who it is, she opens the door completely.
- >"Oh! Hello A-anon."
- >She sports a smile, though half of it is hidden by her mane.
- "You wanted something fixed?"
- >She nods lightly.
- >"Yeah, I'll show you..."
- >Stepping outside the safety of her cottage, she walks around to the back yard.
- >You follow instinctively.
- >In the backyard, a plethora of animals.
- >A myriad.
- >A fucking TON.
- >Zoos have nothing on this mare.
- >It takes her a few minutes, but she manages to get all the animals to retreat into their homes.
- >Except the chickens.
- >Turns out the chicken coop is what needs fixing.
- >"Okay little chickies, I need you to wait here while Anon fixes your home, okay?"
- >All of 'em look up at her and nod.
- >Except for one, it clucks around obnoxiously and doesn't stick with the flock.
- >"Mister chicken, um, I need you to stay with your family..."
- >It doesn't listen in the least.
- >What happens next, you can't explain well.
- >She stares at it.
- >She just stares.
- >You can only see the corner of her eyes from where you're standing.
- >But god damn if it's not frightening.
- >She stares the chicken down, and it freezes in it's tracks.
- >It's like it's been hypnotized.
- >Brainwashed.
- >Scared to the point of rigor mortis.
- >A few seconds pass, and the chicken silently returns to it's family.
- >Whatever she just did to that chicken, you sure hope it never happens to you.
- >"Okay Anon, it's ready!"
- >Still stunned, you shake it off.
- "Alrighty, I'll get started right away."
- >Be damned if you give her a reason to stare at you.
- >You inspect the chicken coop.
- >It is certainly in need of repairs...
- >It won't need any new wood for now, a bit of touching up will be fine.
- >But first things first, it needs to be cleaned!
- >With a few yanks from your hammer, your wrench off the top of the coop.
- >Peering inside, you see what you expect.
- >Eggs, Scootaloo, bird feed, hay...
- >...
- >"Hi, Anon!"
- >...
- >You put the roof back on the chicken coop.
- >It can be cleaned out later.
- >A few minutes pass, and Fluttershy comes out to see how you're doing.
- >"How's the, uh, repair going?"
- "Uhh...fine. But I think I found something strange in your coop."
- >"Oh?"
- >You walk her over to the coop and lift the roof.
- >Eggs, bird feed, hay...
- >...
- >"Oh my, I missed some eggs!"
- >She scoops them up with her hooves, taking them away.
- >"Thank you so much!"
- >Walking back into her house with the eggs, you just stare at the coop.
- >It's been a weird fucking day.
- >Eventually, the job is complete.
- >A good job too, if you don't say so yourself.
- >You even gave it a fresh coat of paint.
- >Those chickens be living in luxury!
- >Satisfied with your work, you call for Fluttershy.
- "All done!"
- >She trots outside, and gasps at your work.
- >"Oh my..."
- >That didn't sound positive.
- "Is everything, alright?"
- >She stares at the structure, speechless.
- >Yikes, does she hate it that much?
- >You thought the yellow and pink paint was a nice touch!
- >What if you don't get paid?!?
- >Ahh shit, way to fuck it up An-
- >Your train of though it interrupted by a warm soft bundle of p0ny latching herself around you.
- >"Thank you, thank you, thank you! It looks so good!"
- >The usual shy mare is long gone.
- >The sudden hug was surprising, but nice.
- >Your work WAS appreciated.
- >"...oh, I almost forgot!"
- >Letting go, she rushes inside, and comes back out with a small bag.
- >"Here, this is for everything..."
- >Bits!
- >Glorious bits.
- >Man oh man, are you glad to see these.
- "Awesome, thanks!"
- >You bend down to grab the bag, and decide to give her a quick hug, to return the favor.
- >Remembering you have a delicious Cake family cake with you, you decide to bring it up.
- "Do you like cake?"
- >You open up your large toolbox, the cake safely situated in it's own box.
- >"It looks delicious, I would love a slice."
- >You take your toolbox into the cottage, pulling the cake out and placing it on the counter.
- >She grabs you a knife, and you cut her off a slice.
- >Grabbing it happily, she can't help but notice...
- >"No cake for you?"
- "I'm not feeling particularly hungry."
- >However, you do cut a second slice.
- >You put it on a plate, to take home with you.
- "You can keep the rest, consider it a thanks for my business!"
- >"Not a problem at all, Anon...thank you so very much."
- >At that, you take your leave.
- >Making sure to swing by the backyard.
- >As you walk by, you can't help but look at the chicken coop.
- >...
- >...you lay the slice of cake on the ramp leading into the coop.
- >After staring at it for a few seconds, waiting for something to happen....
- >...nothing does.
- >With a shrug, you turn away and start walking.
- >One glance back, and the cake slides into the coop with the help of an orange hoof.
- >Knew it.
- >Satisfied with that knowledge, you leave.
- >Wait, you need your toolbox!
- >Way to go, genius.
- >Hey, I was busy tending to the chicken coop p0ny!
- >What're you gonna do about that anyway?
- >I dunno man, her friends didn't like to talk about it...
- >Just leave it alone for now.
- >STOP WITH THE INNER DIALOGUE, YOU NEED YOUR TOOLBOX.
- >Walking back up the dirt road, you gently knock on Fluttershy's door.
- >*knock knock*
- >...
- >...
- >No answer.
- >Did she go to sleep?
- >It's only been a few minutes.
- >*knock knock knock*
- >...
- >Still nothing.
- >Dammit, you need that stuff.
- >You try opening the door.
- >Unlocked.
- >You creak it open and step inside.
- "Fluttershy?"
- >She's passed out on the table, face first into her cake.
- >...
- >...and you thought Pinkie liked sweets.
