But then again, you already know that- and either way, you prefer "Anon". >You wake up and lie in your bed, staring up at the ceiling. >Suddenly, you feel...holy. Saintlike. >No... the best way to describe it is... >Like a priest, dedicated to a powerful goddess. >Suddenly the alarm clock goes off- >nay, the Holy Awakener sounds his tiny gongs. You reach up and press a button on his chest to let him know that he may stop, for the High Priest of the Temple has awoken. >Rising from your bed- nay, your altar of sleep, you stride to the holy chamber of El Bano to perform one of the most sacred rituals of the temple... >The Triple-S. >Having done the holy deed, you dress yourself in your black suit- nay, your black robes, for a priest wears robes- and admire yourself in the mirror. But before you can compliment yourself, you move on- a priest has no time for self-compliments. >You stride down the stairs to the kitchen- nay, the Hall of Dining, where you reach for the holiest, most sacred of foods, a box of Knock-Offs cereal. >The holy object is now in your grasp, and you pour some of its contents into a bowl. >You then moisten the sacred cereal with Holy Milk (like holy water but it's milk) >Then, you retrieve a sacred tool and use it to lift a mouthful into your mouth. >Nirvana is now in your mouth. >Suddenly, a "polite" 'rattatatat' peals around the room. >Fetishy has completely destroyed your priestly mood, and now you're just Anon, in a suit, eating some Knock-Offs. At least it's your favorite cereal. "Like fucking clockwork." >You get up and walk to the door, yanking it open to reveal the Banana Rapist. >She has a gun held up to her head. >Flutters:"Is suicide your fetish, Anon?" >She may be a nuisance, but for some reason she's grown on you just a little bit. >Just enough to make you react. >You slap her in the face. In her shock, she drops the gun, which you grab. >You then turn to address her. "NO! FUCK NO! AND DON'T EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!" >You then slam the door in her face before you can see her reaction. 'Why did I do that?' 'Maybe... do I like Flutters?' 'NO! FUCK NO!' 'Not... not like that... no... but...' '... maybe... as a friend?' '... This is all so confusing...' >You decide to forget it and just go to work. >You peek out the front window. >Fluttershy's still there. >You can see that she's dealing with mixed emotions too. >Welp, escape hatch time. >A few weeks after the Rapistshy problem started, it got so bad that she kept you from going to work. >So you had an escape tunnel built. >It leads straight from you house to work. >You push aside the couch to expose the entrance, jump in and walk down the tunnel. >You're employed at The Candy Shoppe, a confectionery run by an earth pony named Bon-Bon. >You basically are to Bon-Bon and The Candy Shoppe what Pinkie Pie is to the Cakes and Sugarcube Corner Bakery. >As such, said party pony with tons of friends is your rival, as Sugarcube Corner is The Candy Shoppe's biggest competitor. >Fudge and candy or cupcakes and muffins? You'd pick the fudge and candy like a sensible human, but half the town would pick the baked goods instead. It's infuriating- and that mutual feeling that you share with Bon-Bon is why you got hired. >You reach the end of the tunnel and find yourself below a trapdoor. You open it and enter The Candy Shoppe's back room >Or at least what used to be its back room. >Your jaw drops as you find that the shop has been burned to the ground! >In the middle of the destruction lies Bon-Bon, crying her heart out. >Her best friend and fellow candyholic Lyra sits beside her, trying to comfort her. >Lyra looks up and sees you. "What... what happened?" >Lyra:"Last night... the shop caught on fire... it had already burned down to the ground by the time the fireponies got there..." >Bon-Bon:"My beutiful shop, my life's work, everything, it's all gone!!! "But... how?!" >Lyra:"I dunno..." >Bon-Bon:"IT'S ALL GONE!!!" >Lyra continues to try to comfort Bon-Bon. >You look around and find something in the rubble that wasn't touched. >A letter? >You open it and read the one sentence on it. >"Is arson your fetish, Anon?" >Fucking Fluttershy
