- The Fate of Anonymous. - 7 - Fetish's -
- >You dream of the past
- >You dream of events already written
- >This isn't a dream, it's a night terror
- >You judder, bringing you back to reality in a cold sweat.
- >You're laying in a hospital bed, although not a patient.
- >Well, I suppose you are, but not this version of you. Not future you, or is it present you.
- >Oh god time travel is confusing. You make a note to beat some sense into twilight if you don't succeed with your plans.
- >Ponies shouldn't mess with time. I think this is now a given.
- >you stretch your back, hearing an audible crack as you get off the hospital bed.
- >You begin to recall the events of today.
- >Rainbow dash and Fluttershy are going to come by later.
- >Then... That's right, they go to get you lunch and you get the pills and...
- >FUCKING FLUTTERSHY!
- >Rage begins to seethe out of you as you create a new plan.
- >Priority one, stop Fluttershy from getting lunch to you.
- >Priority two, die.
- >Seems like a legit plan, let get cracking anon.
- >Just as you're about to get going on your quest to Fluttershys you feel your stomach rumbling.
- >New plan. Priority one, food.
- >Might as well go and see pinkie pie for some breakfast. Even if she is a forth wall breaking demon that will probably one day feast on your soul.
- >If there was an initiation for ninja's then this should be it.
- >You move like Sam fisher and manage to escape the hospital without anyone seeing you.
- >Gazing upon the sky you hazard a guess that it's roughly 10am.
- >That gives you an hour before Dash and Fluttershy come to see you at the hospital.
- >Ponyville had already sprung into life at this point and people were busy trading and going about their day.
- >This only makes things harder. You're the only human. If people see you out of hospital they'll ask questions.
- >Sticking to the back alleys is the only thing you can do. It doesn't help that your stomach is making more noise than your feet.
- >After ten minutes of slyly dodging ponies you finally reach sugar cube corner.
- >Before you can reach out to the door it swings open and pinkie is stood behind it with a grin on her face.
- >"Hey Anon, Want some more cupcakes?" She hold out a cupcake in each hand.
- >Even in a land with "Magic" this shit is reality breaking.
- "I..- How the fuck did you know I was going to be here?"
- >"My left front leg switched, my mane puffed up and my nose scrunched."
- >...
- >...
- >...
- "what?"
- >"I saaaid. 'My left front leg switched, my ma-"
- "No no, I heard what you said. I meant, what the fucking actual."
- >"It's my pinkie sense!"
- "Pinkie what?"
- >She bursts out into fits of laughter. Falling to the floor, apparently you're an idiot for not knowing.
- >"My pinkie sense, it lets me know when things are going to happen."
- >You know what, you don't even want to know anymore. Nothing in this world makes any sense.
- >You spend the next thirty or so minutes eating cupcakes and listening to the rambling of a pink pony.
- >At least you won't die hungry now. You thank pinkie pie and leave. You're almost certain she didn't even notice you leaving.
- >Stand out back of sugar cube corner you ponder the best way to stop Fluttershy from ruining your death.
- >Well, pinkie seems to not care about time travel. Maybe Fluttershy will be the same? I could just distract her?
- >You make your way over to her cottage. You've never been inside it before.
- >Hell you only know where it is because it's just down the road from your house.
- >Like a shadow you slip into the house undetected. That is until a carrot hits your head.
- >Looking down you notice the angriest bunny rabbit you've ever seen.
- >It pulls a pose like some sort of shaolin monk. This bunny isn't seriously about to tr-
- >Before the thought can be finish twenty tons of hurt is laid upon the side of your head
- >You go flying to your right straight into the wooden arch of the cottage.
- >You regain composure and manage to dodge another oncoming attack.
- >You could probably allow this bunny to beat you to death.
- >Although there is no way, in Earth or Equestria, that your death will be at the paws of a, fluffy, white, bunny rabbit.
- >He leaps again. With reflex's that could rival a praying mantis you grab the bunny out of mid air and slam it to the ground.
- "TOUCHDOWN!!!"
- >The imaginary crowd goes wild! Six points to Anon!
- >Your "Victory" is short lived as you're floored by the pure white ball of hate and anger.
- >You receive pound after pound to the face. You hear a distinct snap in your nose and see a stream of crimson fly across the room.
- >You're sure a capillary in your eye has burst as vision through your right eye turns a slow red. No wait. That's just pure rage.
- >ENOUGH FROM THIS MOTHER FUCKER! SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO BECOME DOG CHAOW!
- >With the righteous fury known only by those that reach it you grab the rabbit by his throat and choke with a force that could crush diamond.
- >The rabbit struggles to no avail as you watch it slowly begin to slip from the conscious world.
- >Your revenge would be swift. It would be without mercy. It would b-
- >The door to the cottage begins to open. Flinging the rabbit out the window with the momentum of an orbital cannon you get to the floor.
- >Time to play it off the bat. You didn't have time to prepare anything. You lay with your eyes closed, waiting.
- >You hear a gasp and the frantic pitter patter of hooves coming towards you.
- >Marshmallowy hooves begin to tap you in the chest.
- >"Anon!? Anon!? Wake up Anon!" You're about to stir awake when you get slapped in the face by a hoof
- "Fuck!"
- >Fluttershy jumps back from your reaction as you hold your face. Quick Anon, get back into the act.
- "Fl-Fluttershy?... Is that you?"
- >"Y-Yes, It's me An-" before you can allow her to finish you lurch forward and throw yourself into an embrace.
- >If your heart hadn't been torn out by the harshness of your old life the *meep* produced from Fluttershy would have melted it.
- "It worked... It actually worked!"
- >you gripped Fluttershy tighter as you faked the manliest tears that you'd ever seen.
- >Fluttershy seeing that you're distraught just comforts you. Allowing the embrace to continue.
- >It's her nature after all, from what you can tell.
- "Thank Go-Celestia it's really you...."
- >"Anon, what happened?"
- "I come from a horrible future Fluttershy... One that only you can save."
- >"You're from my?"
- "That right flutters. It's the distant future and the land has been ravaged. That's not important though."
- >"It's... Not?"
- "Fluttershy... I-I Couldn't save you... I'm sorry flutters. I love you. Always know that."
- >She seems surprisingly receptive to all of this. Clearly these ponies had no concept of deception.
- >She wraps here hooves around you and pulls you into a tight hug. Accepting everything you just said.
- >You both spend the next ten or so minutes sitting in each other's comfort.
- >This is good, if you can keep this up, within 40 minutes your past self should be dead.
- >"... So how does it happen?" Fluttershy gazes into your eyes, searching your very soul.
- "How does what happen?"
- >"H-How do I make you love me?" Her voice barely a whimper at this point.
- >This actually catches you off guard. You didn't actually have a plan for this.
- "Well.. You err... Guessed... My fetish!"
- >Guessed my fetish? What the fuck is that?
- >"I-Is time travel your fetish?"
- >Suddenly it's as if your jimmies from all moments in time are rustled.
- >Anon, you have no idea what hell you've just unleashed upon yourself.
- >Before anything else can be said or done there's a knock at the door, followed shortly by a voice.
- >"Come on Fluttershy, We don't want to keep Anon waiting."
- >Before Fluttershy can look up to you you'd already vanished to the back of the house.
- >There was no way anyone else should know that you had come back in time.
- >Fluttershy gives what you can only assume is a half hearted shrug before grabbing something off her kitchen work surface and leaving.
- >Must be your lunch. You need to try and head her off to the hospital and stop her before it's too late.
- >Diving out of a window in the back of the cottage you land on a small white ball of fluff.
- >Rapidly getting up you notice it's the unconscious form of a rabbit. You may be in a rush, but you have time for this.
- >You back up slightly facing the cottage and break out into a sprint before pelting the rabbit with your right foot as hard as you can.
- >You could swear you heard several cracking noises as it flew into the window of the cottage. Fucking maniacal rabbits.
- >Time to run like a Kenyan racing a shazbot.
- >Through some miracle you manage to retain stealth during the run. The hospital is in your field of vision now.
- >You start running for a window on the bottom floor. You get close, get ready to jump. OH SHIT!
- >The window's still closed although it's too late to stop. You can only watch in slow motion as you make your way closer to the window.
- >This is going to hurt. You brace yourself to be showered in a torrent of glass.
- >Only inches away you see a pink blur go to the window and open it. Everything slows down to an extremity.
- >As you fly through the now open window Pinkie Pie is stood there giving the largest shit eating grin you've ever seen.
- >"Hiya Anon! Come to sugar cube corner later, I've got a surprise for you!"
- >What?
- >Time finally catches up with reality and you fall to the shiny surface of the hospital floor.
- >Spinning around you notice the window is shut and Pinkie Pie is nowhere to be seen.
- >That entire event took less than a second, just how the fuck is that mare so fast.
- >It would seem Pinkie knew just how to over rustle your jimmies.
- >You just sit on the floor, collecting your thoughts.
- >"Uh... Anon?
- "Yes brain?"
- >"Suicide?"
- "Just, Gimmie a second."
- >"I'm just saying, time's wasti-"
- "I said, give me a FUCKING second."
- >"Whoah, ok man, chill out!"
- >It's a shame you're only suicidal, otherwise you would kill twilight for this fuckery.
- >Picking yourself off the floor your train of thought is interrupted by the wailing of the patient that you'd just woken up.
- "Oh god, here we go."
- >Meanwhile, in another room.
- ...
- >Praise the deity of your choice, they're gone.
- >You sit, staring at the ceiling for some time before the nurses wheel a cart into the room and check up on you.
- >They look at the back of your head and write something down on a clipboard.
- >Before they can leave with the cart they hear a yelling from another room and rush out. Leaving the cart next to your bed.
- >You rock you head towards the cart unenthusiastically. In bold writing on the side of a bottle it read "PAINKILLERS".
- >Clearly they had no concept of subtlety. Although this gets you thinking. Painkillers, for small horses.
- >You reach out to the bottle and snatch it quickly before the nurses return, hiding it under your pillow.
- >The nurses return after having dealt with the incident in the other room. They eye you again before taking off.
- ...
- >"HELP ME! SOMEONE'S TRYING TO STEAL MY SLIPPERS!"
- "Shut up! I'm not trying to steal you're slippers! I just want-"
- >Before you can finish you're confronted by the two most surprised looking nurses you've ever seen.
- >BAIL OUT!
- >You spin on the spot and launch yourself at the window, forgetting that it was still closed.
- >Pinkie Pie, if there was ever a time to prove that you wasn't an evil demon. This would be it.
- >Time slows down again as you inch closer and closer to the window. Sure enough...
- >The window stays closed and get a full face of glass. Time resumes it's normal thing as you hit the grassy ground beneath you with a thud.
- "FUCK!"
- >Jumping up you hide in the tree line. Leaving two stunned nurses and once screaming patient behind.
- >Many of the hospitals guards are scattered around the area searching.
- >There was no way you was going to get in now. It's already been about 20 minutes since you escaped.
- >Speak of the devil, you notice a crying Fluttershy rushing out of the hospital.
- >Crushing despair runs cold through your veins as you realize this means you've failed, AGAIN!
- >You seriously can't catch a break. It's as if the universe conspires against you.
- >Well only one thing left to do now. You ready yourself and begin to walk to the outskirts of town.
- >'Guess I'm off to the Everfree forest.'
- >Thanks to Fluttershy you know all about the 'Horrible Monsters' that live in the everfree.
- >Surely one of them could help you with your problem. It might be a little bit more painful that you had hoped.
- >But fuck it, you're not going to care once you're dead.
- >You reach the forest and begin to walk deeper and deeper into the rough.
- >You get halfway into the forest before a blinding light flash's in your vision for all of a second before you can see again.
- >Looking around you notice you're still in the forest although it's nearly pitch black. It's night.
- >It only takes a minute to realize that was the same light that happened when you was thrown into the past.
- >By reasonable deduction you guess that you're now back in the correct timeline. Nothing to fret over.
- >You bend down and pick up a stick, using a piece of flint to set it alight.
- >Before you can even raise it to see in the pitch black that represented your soul, you're thrown to the ground.
- >Atop of you, a snarling wooden wolf. That's fine. In fact, that's better than fine. That's perfect.
- >You close your eyes as the timber wolf wraps it's jaws around your neck.
- >You don't know much about human anatomy, but you know having your throat ripped out is a death sentence.
- >You can feel the cold wooden splinters for teeth begin to grip into your neck.
- >Not quite as peaceful as you'd hope, but at least it doesn't look like suicide.
- >You welcome the following sensations, regaining your sense of jubilation.
- >You feel the wooden wolf suddenly jerk.
- >Then, you feel... nothing...
