>Sugarcube Corner looks bleak this time of night
>The only light you can spot is from the second-story window
>Pinkie's still awake
>You raise your hand, ready to knock on the door
>You hesitate
>Your hand hovers in front of the door
>You're stuck in thought
>Torn between the decision
>Break it off with Pinkie
>Or face Celestia's wrath
>You could ignore Celestia and continue your relationship
>She might figure out eventually, but at least you'd have your special somepony
>Applejack wouldn't stop the rape attempts though
>You're sure she's going to keep trying even if you do break it off with Pinkie
>Now she has the idea in her head that you fancy her, even though you told her straight up you didn't
>She's stubborn
>And she's going to keep trying...
>Now that you think about it, the only difference between not breaking up with Pinkie and doing so would be that your life would be miserable in one situation, and Celestia would be pissed at you in the other
>Not to mention Pinkie would be hurt beyond belief if you just up and ended the whole thing, regardless if they were Celestia's orders or not
>Keep Pinkie happy
>Or compromise your time here where you won't be able to see her anyway
>Pain in your hand rips you from thought. You're clenching your fists
>You open the fist hovering in front of the door
>You clinched your fists so hard your nails broke the skin
>You're now bleeding from your hand
"Why did I ever stop biting my nails?..."
 
>You're walking around Ponyville
>You need some time to think about this
>You feel you have time for that, at least
>Spending time with Pinkie Pie would violate Celestia's terms, but doing nothing about your relationship is a different thing
>You don't even know how she's going to tell if you obeyed or not
>At this point it doesn't matter
>You disobey, Celestia might send you off or worse
>If you obey, you might as well be living somewhere else
>Everything would suck
>But it's an order from Celestia herself
>You hit your forehead several times, groaning
>You keep thinking it over and over again, but this realization is the only thing you come to
>You have to do it
>No matter how badly you don't want to, it's an order
>But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy
>You sigh and look to the moon
>It's glowing brightly
>Almost as bright as the light that brought you here
>It's a vague memory, but a memory nonetheless
>The light is the only thing you can recall
>Then this world
>You wonder if you would've been better off leaving it alone
>Not meeting anyp0ny here
>Not becoming best friends with Spike
>Not helping out at Sweet Apple Acres
>Not...falling in love with Pinkie Pie
>You sigh and plot a course for home

>You unlock the front door, learning it's already unlocked, and push it open
>Either this place is part of you, or the place needs more windows
>It's dark as fuck in here
>You don't care. You walk in and close the door behind you
>You then plop down on your couch
>It's obvious someone's waiting in here for you
>It's also quite obvious who it is
"Applejack...just show yourself already."
>She steps out from the archway to the staircase
>"Howdy, Anon. Glad ta see ya back this early."
"What the fuck do you want?"
>"What ah've been tryin' ta get all this time, a-course."
"Just do yourself a favor and get out of my house."
>You lay back on the couch
>Applejack walks up to you
>"Now Anon, ya'll know I can't do that. Yer just gonna have ta let thi-"
"Shut the fuck up."
>You take a page from Walter's book
>" 'Scuse me, sugarcu-"
"I said shut the fuck up. Is that too hard for your inbred brain to understand?"
>"Now listen here, you. Ah-"
>That's it
"No, -you- listen."
>You get up from your couch and point a finger in Applejack's face
"I've tried to have a happy relationship with Pinkie Pie. It's been great! Things have never been better! Hell, even you trying to rape me couldn't get me down. All up until now."
>She seems afraid to ask but retains her forceful demeanor
>"W-Whaddya mean, up until now?"
"Oh, I'm glad you asked. Y'know that meeting with Celestia I'm sure Twilight told you about before leaving? It was about her precious Elements of Harmony."
>"Elements a Harmony? What's that got to do with you?"
"I'm dating one of them. And because of that, a certain Element of Honesty can't keep her hooves to herself."
>"But An-"
"Shut up. Because this Element of Honesty won't stop trying to rape me and even threatened her own friend just to get to me, Celestia thinks it's dangerous for us to keep dating. So guess what? I've been ordered to break the whole thing off. Yep, I have to end it. Not you. Not Celestia herself. Me."
>"Anon, I-"
"Fuck you, Applejack. Don't even speak to me. It's your fault I needed to relocate jobs. It's your fault I've needed help watching my back. And it's your fault I have to break up with the pony I love!" You yell
>Applejack is backing up now
"Now get the fuck out..."
>"Wait, An-"
"I said, Get. The. Fuck. Out."
>You growl through your teeth
>Applejack, backed up into the door, smirks at you
>Does she think this is a fucking game?
>"Heh, Now Anon, let's be sensible here. Ya-"
>You scream
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
>Applejack jumps and turns around, running into the door before opening it and making a mad dash away from your home
>You stand there, breathing hard
>After a few moments you close your door and fall back down on your couch
>Outside the wind picks up
>You can't hear it over your sobs
