>Knocking on the door
>Have hammer ready in hand
>You aren't getting violated today
>Throw the door open
>Lift hammer
>Put it down
>It's Doppelganger and two of the clones
>They are dressed like a barbershop quartet
>They even have fake mustaches
>"Hey theeerrrreeee"
>"Hey theeerrreeeeeeee"
>"Hey theeerrreeeeeeeeeeee"
>Close door
>Doppelganger kicks the door open
>"Just listen to me, I need a favor"
What is it this time?
>"I can't stay here any longer, I think some loan ponies found me. I woke up with a chicken head in my bed"
And why are you dressed like that?
>"I can't get out of here looking like you. I need to throw the loan ponies off my trail."
But why are you specifically dressed like this, and and why do you need me and those clones?
>"I couldn't find anything else. So I found two clones who wanted out, and now they're coming with me. I couldn't find the third one, I think Applejack got him. May Celestia have mercy on his soul."
And since you can't find the third clone, you need me?
>"Yes"
And why should I help you?
>"Why not?"
Ok, I'll do it.
 
>You put on the costume
>Surprisingly, it feels right
>You and the gang leave
>You get to the train station
"So, what happens after this?
>"We're going to Canterlot to do a show"
What!?!?!
>"Calm down, asswipe. It's just to get the clones and I some money to start our new lives, and then you can go home."
I didn't sign up for this
>"Come on! After this, I'll be out of your hair for good!"
Just one show?
>"Just one show"
 
>Canterlot
We're performing here?!
>"Calm your tits, we'll be fine"
We don't even have a song
>"Just let me handle it"
>Walking to the castle
>Look at the other two clones
Why haven't they spoken...at all?
>"Post traumatic stress. They'll be fine."
>In front of the castle
>Suddenly, a blinding light out of nowhere
>When the light goes down, you and the gang are chained to a wall
>You're in a dungeon
>Celestia stands in front of you all
What's going on here?
>"Isn't it obvious? You're the entertainment."
>Ohno.jpg
>Doppelganger tries to escape the chains
>"You aren't doing anything to me, you sick bitch!"
>"Of course I'm not. You and Anon are here for public entertainment."
>Doppelganger looks surprised that she knew who we were, but really, we're the only humans in Equestria
>Your chains and Doppelganger's chains release
>"The other two are here for...private entertainment"
>Celestia approaches the clones
>They look at you with sad, soulless eyes
>There is another flash of light
>You and Doppelganger are in an arena, dressed in gladiator armor, holding swords
 
>Hundreds of ponies are watching from the bleachers, holding money in their hooves
Alright Doppelganger, how are we going to get-
>Doppelganger runs at you, sword raised
>You dodge the attack
What are you doing?!
>"Getting rid of you, once and for all!"
>He swings again
>You block it with your sword
>"Just lay down and die!"
I thought we weren't enemies anymore!
>"We were always enemies!"
>He spins around
>You duck down
Don't do this! We can get out of here together!
>"But then you would still be alive! I'm the better you, I am what Equestria deserves!"
>He jabs the sword
>You jump back, and slash at his face
>He falls to the ground
>You put the sword to his neck
>"Do it, faggot!"
>You slash his neck
>Blood splatters everywhere
>Doppelganger is dead
>The cheering stops
>You look up at the ponies
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!!?
 
>A pony comes into the arena
>"You...killed him?"
Wasn't that what I was supposed to do?
>"Well no, I mean yes, but no. Most times the looser surrenders, and everything is fine. No pony has ever killed another pony in the arena before."
So...do I get to leave now?
>The pony backs away from you, worried
>"Um, yes, of course. Just don't tell anyone about this, ok?"
>He looks up at the crowed
>"Remember, don't tell a single soul what happened here tonight"
>You return to Ponyville, covered in blood
>All the ponies in town are horrified when they see you
>No pony talks to you, they're afraid
>You go to bed, still covered in blood
>You'll save the clones eventually
 
>In graveyard
>It's raining
>Burying your doppelganger
>He was an asshole, but he was the only "human" besides you in Equestria
>You still can't find those clones, and for some reason you never considered them people
>You're a dick
>You throw the corpse into the a shallow grave
>You can't afford a coffin
>Some ponies shook you down for cash
>Doppelganger was imitating you when he got into financial troubles
>You walk away
>You trip over something
>It's Fluttershy's corpse
WAT
>There is a note on her body
>"I saw you in the graveyard. Is necrophilia your fetish?"
No Fluttershy
>You throw Fluttershy's corpse on top of doppelganger's body
Fucking Fluttershy
