- >>It was the same day
- >>You left your house as secure as you could
- >>You needed to find Twilight, pronto
- >>And to do that, you headed toward the library
- >>You already notice that not every p0ny trusts you, given their looks
- >>But that's alright. They don't need to
- >>You're different, you've done wrong. You don't hold it against them
- >>You're not even mad
- >>The sun beats down on you
- >>At least the worst of your problems are over
- >>You see the library in the distance and are relieved
- >>Surely, Twilight will be able to help you with that teleporting pervert
- >>You break out into a jog
- >>But you are forced to a halt when Applejack steps out in front of you
- >>She crosses her forelegs and looks up at you with a smug smile
- >>Not today. Please, just not today
- >>“Well howdy there, Anonymous! Lookin' pretty good, all up and about.”
- >>Anonymous is not an idiot
- >>You know where this is going
- >>“You know, you should be rewarded for savin' mah sister. Got any ideas?”
- >>She bats her eyelashes
- >>Well, here goes nothing
- For you to leave me alone.
- >>Applejack guffaws momentarily before she tips her hat back with her hoof
- >>“Ah love it when ya act like ya don't want it.”
- >>She starts advancing towards you
- >>You step back
- >>Wait
- We're in the middle of P0nyville. You wouldn't try anything.
- >>“Nope! But ya gotta go home sometime.”
- >>“Ya can go about yer' day, Anon. But now that you're able to walk, it's open season on your ass tonight.”
- >>She lifted a hoof and motioned to you as she talked, taunting you
- >>Your lids drop to half closed and you give Applejack the most unamused glare you can muster
- Gee, thanks for the heads up.
- >>“Jus' keepin' it honest.”
- >>She winked at you
- >>Armed with the knowledge that tonight is going to involve Applejack, you walk past her and on to the library
- >>“Anonymous, I think you're overreacting.”
- >>You couldn't believe it. You just couldn't fucking believe it.
- So which part didn't you get, again?
- >>“Anon, Lyra is a quiet, sweet girl.”
- So you know who I'm talking about, then?
- >>“Of course! She checks out books from here all the time!”
- >>Twilight was restocking her books and doing research at the same time while talking with you
- >>You couldn't help but feel a little offended
- >>Like she wasn't giving your trouble her full attention
- What kind of books?
- >>You ask
- Like, how to compromise home security? A basic premier to being a creepy stalker?
- >>Twilight groans at you
- >>“It SOUNDS like she just wants to be your friend.”
- Twilight! Friends don't watch each other sleep!
- >>Twilight lifted her head from her book and her ears perked
- >>“Really?”
- Yeah.
- Really.
- >>“Huh, I'm gonna need to look over my guide to friendship in Equestria again.”
- >>She goes back to her work, leaving you standing there
- ...Well?!
- >>“I'm not going to do it right NOW! Look, Anon, in the mean time you're just going to have to learn to handle it yourself.”
- >>You pull your short hair
- What do you want me to do? Scream 'Get out of here, STALKER?!'
- >>Twilight gives a frustrated groan, throwing her head up from her work
- >>“Okay you big baby. After I'm done with inventory I'll work on teleport-proofing your house. How's that?”
- >>You slap your hands to your sides, giving a breath of relief
- Thank you!
- >>She smiles at you and returns to her duties
- ...So are we talking tonight? Tomorrow?
- >>“Middle of next week.”
- >>FFFUUUU
- >>You give up, not wanting to bug Twilight too much
- >>You love her like family, and understand her situation
- >>You just wish she would try to understand yours a little better
- >>Oh well, she did agree to help – even if that help was less than forthcoming
- >>Suddenly, you notice that the day is starting to set
- >>Damnit... you better get home and barricade it
- >>You pick up the pace to a brisk jog, getting faster and faster as your precious light begins to vanish
- >>Suddenly, you find that you aren't alone
- >>A snow-green pony strides next to you
- >>On two legs
- >>Like a human
- >>You groan
- Not in the mood, Lyra!
- >>“Why's that, Anonymous? Is there some human ritual that we have to get to?”
- >>You can't even come up with an answer
- >>Was this chick for real?
- >>Suddenly, a pale cream colored pony with cyan eyes gets in your path
- >>You recognize this one, but cannot put your finger on it
- >>You stumble to a stop, not wanting to run her over
- >>But god damnit, you jog in place
- >>You have maybe a half hour of light, at the absolute most
- >>And you highly doubt it
- >>“Hi, BonBon!”
- >>BonBon? You've heard this one's name, before
- >>But where was it?
- >>BonBon struts up to you, calmly
- >>She reaches a hoof to your collar and pulls you down to her level with amazing strength
- Wha-huh?!
- >>She speaks up, her voice different from before
- >>“I WARNED you to stay away from Lyra!”
- >>Oh, shit – THIS one
- >>Back when the town was out for your blood
- >>You gave her a smirk
- >>You had the upper hand, here
- >>No fear
- >>I mean, you are the former Ponyville champ!
- >>What the hell does this literal candy-ass think she has on you?
- >>Her face goes red with your disregard
- >>Sound effect of a tea kettle whistling
- >>Your smirk drops a half second before a hoof rams into your face
- >>You and she are quickly envelopped in a cartoony cloud inside of which is a world of violence
- >>The cloud bounces to and fro, in every direction
- Please, not the face!
- >>“I warned you! I warned you!”
- Ow! My eye! That's my EYE!
- >>“Homewrecker!”
- WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY EYE!?
- >>Through an act of Celestia you are able to leap out of the ragecloud and zip away, making best speed
- >>Your right eye is black as hell
- >>BonBon gives hot pursuit
- >>“I'm not done with you, yet!”
- >>Every sentence she speaks is with a different voice
- >>This woman is FUCKING SATAN
- >>Luckily, you outpace her by virtue of your longer legs
- >>House in sight
- >>You're home free
- >>Just got to...
- >>Something suddenly binds your legs together and causes you to fall on your face
- >>You are dragged into a dark alley way, clawing at the ground as your house vanishes from view
- No! No, oh, Celestia! NOO-HO-HO!!
- >>So close, and yet so far
- >>Before you know it, your world is turned upside down as you find yourself in a hogtie
- >>Look up
- >>It's Applejack
- >>Shit
- >>“YEEE-HAW! Ah got ya, Anonymous!”
- >>You slip into panic mode
- >>You got NO time for this shit
- FRIENDSHIP
- FRIENDSHIP
- FRIENDSHIP
- >>You scream while writhing on the ground, attempting to pry yourself from your binds
- >>Her hoof comes down and plants itself in your mouth
- >>“Nuh uh, Anon. That ain't gonna work.”
- >>“Ya'll don't get no safety word, this time.”
- >>You look up to her in horror
- >>Where's Rainbro?
- >>Applejack grins with delight at her perceived victory, and lowers her lips to yours
- >>“And now, Anonymous... huh?”
- >>Her head recoiled
- >>“...What happened to yer' eye?”
- >>Just then, a cream colored hoof 'wrapped' around Applejack's face from behind before shoving her out of the way
- >>BonBon took her place
- >>“Out of the way, SISTER! I got unfinished business with this one!”
- >>She stormed over you and reared a hoof
- >>You winced, anticipating a hit
- >>Applejack recovered
- >>“Ah ain't yer' sister, and ah found him first!”
- >>Applejack rammed BonBon off of you from the side with a equine headbutt
- >>“Ugh!”
- >>BonBon was quick to recover, and she lashed out at Applejack, which resulted in a second ragecloud
- >>As the cloud bounced to and fro, with various cat whining sound effects being produced by it, you struggle against your binds
- >>You manage to undo the binds, scramble to your feet
- >>Being the clever Anonymous you are, you beat a hasty retreat towards your house
- >>Just then, the fight cloud dissipates with neither mare having deciesively won
- >>“He's getting away!”
- >>Astute as ever, Applejack
- >>Both of them take off after you
- >>Oh Celestia, Oh sweet, merciful Celestia
- >>They'll knock your door down easily if you try to hide inside your house
- >>Immediately, you employ your superior hands to leap off your feet and grab a branch in a large tree planted near your house
- >>You hoist yourself up,
- >>Get to your feet, balance yourself, and leap to the next highest branch
- >>They catch up to you and attempt to mimic your feat, but fail miserably
- >>“Gah! Galdernit, hooves...”
- >>Applejack kicks a hoof against the ground
- >>“Ya won this one, Anon! But mark my words, your flank will be mine!”
- >>Applejack trots off, growling, hanging her head low
- >>BonBon raises her hoof at you and makes a threatening gesture before she takes off
- >>You breathe heavily
- >>You're about ten feet off of the ground
- >>Your legs dangle off of a thick branch
- >>You dodged a rape bullet yet again
- >>You wait for about fifteen minutes, wanting to make sure they've gone
- >>“Teehee~!”
- >>You look to your side
- >>Lyra is smiling her broad smile at you
- Lyra, get down from my tree
- You are not a human
- You don't even have hands
