>Blossomforth was a peculiar pony
>She had always peaked your interest with her strange character
>Her awful choice of colouring in mint green stripes in her otherwise pink mane
[spoiler]>I mean, come on. She looks like one of those fucking triple flavoured ice cream boxes[/spoiler]
>Her incredible dedication to whatever she took on doing
>And her cutiemark which didn't represent her actual special talent, but that's another story
>Today was a special day
>You were finally gonna 'fess up about your feelings for her
>And not only that, you were gonna go all the way and propose to her
"Fuck, my power level is high", you say out loud to yourself as you look in the mirror
>On the sink, next to you, is small box containing the engagement bracelet you had bought for her
>You pick it up and look at it one last time before putting it in your back pocket
>You correct your tie for the twentyeleventh time, sigh and head out the front door
>It was a beautiful late-spring morning
>The air was light and breezy, but the sun's rays shined down and felt warm on your face
>On your way to Blossomforths house you bumped into a few acquaints going about doing their regular morning business
>Roseluck was opening her stand at the market
>Lyra and Bon Bon were out on a morning stroll together
>Derpy was delivering mail
>Well, she was trying
>And Fluttershy were taking her pets for a walk
>As you approach Blossomforths house, you hear loud moans and groans coming from it
 
>Blossomforth was out on her balcony doing her morning stretching exercises
[spoiler]>What? What did you think was going on?[/spoiler]
>She doesn't see you coming
>She's straining a lot, so her eyes are shut tight
>You walk up to the front door, right below the balcony
"Good morning, Blossom!"
>"HNNNNGGR-OH! Is that you, Anon?"
"Yeah, it's me alright."
>"The door is open so just step inside! I'm not done stretching quite yet."
>You do as told and step inside
>Her house always has this amazing subtle smell of lavendel
>It's so soothing, you're always equally tempted to just crash on her living room carpet for a while
>No time for that now though
>You head up the stairs and out on the balcony to where Blossomforth is working her body
>"Just another minute, babe. I only have semitendinosus left", she says and stands up balancing on her hind legs.
>yfw semitendinosus
>"Hehe, look, I'm a hooman!"
>She wiggles her hips a little and makes a funny face
>You giggle a little, though the joke was really old by now
>"What brings you here this early?" She asks.
"Oh I uh...was just enjoying a morning walk and couldn't resist passing by your house to say hello."
>"Aw, that's so sweet."
>She raises her left hind leg and stretches it straight up, carefully balancing on her right hind leg.
>Oh, DAMN!
"Wow...it's really amazing what you do with your body...I mean-"
>Shit
>She start to laugh and reaches around her neck with her right front hoof to pull her hind leg even further
>"I guess I should take that as a compliment", she says as she keeps snickering
>"I am a contortionist, after all!"
>She switches hind leg, now resting on her right one and using her left front leg to stretch it
>"...after all", she echoes and gives you a seductive stare
>Oh god, the pasta is running over now
"Actually I...I came here to tell you something. Something important."
>Her sensual smile disappears and her facial expression turns to confusion
>"Oh, w-what is it?"
 
"Well, the things is..."
>You can feel the tomato sauce crawling up on your face
"Thing is I uh..."
>The meatballs are tumbling in your stomach
>Get your shit together, Anon
>You started this, now you've got to finish it
>You take a deep breath
"Blossomforth, I love you."
>She freezes in her stretching
>Awkward silence
>She blushes
>Unsure if you blew it, you decide you might as well keep going
>Here goes
>You take the box out of your back pocket, get on your knee. flick it open and reveal the bracelet to her
"I love you, and I want to marry you. Will you be my wife?"
>She looks at you in what you think is absolute terror
>shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit
>"Anon I...I...I...", she stutters
>Suddenly, she starts to waggle
>Now her face absolutely screams terror
>She's losing her balance
>Trying to catch it again, she bounces backwards on her one standing leg
>"Anon, I can't get my leg down!!"
>She starts failing her arms wildly
>"B-Blossom?"
>You drop the box and get up on your feet
>She gets to the railing of her balcony
>OH FUCK!!
>You leap forward and try to get a hold of her
>You're too late and fall flat in front of where she just stood
>She falls, head first
>"ANOOOO-"
>A loud thud and a crack sounds as she hits the ground
>You hear a few gasps from a few nearby ponies
>You hurry to get up and almost throw yourself over the railing to look down
>"BLOSSOM!!?"
>She doesn't move
>She lies there on her side
>The top of her spine clearly visible under the skin of her neck
 
>You run down to her limp body and kneel before it
"Blossom?! BLOSSOM!? Nonononono! NO! NOOO!!"
>Tears start to flow down you face
>You're not sure what to do
>Is she alive?
>Can she be saved?
>Will moving her make the injuries worse?
>Fucking shit, what have you done!?
>The sound of sirens appear in the distance
>A bystander was quick to call for an ambulance, and they were quick to move out
"Blossom...I..."
>You're just about to lay your hand on her side when you feel yourself being pulled away
>Two medical ponies are dragging you away while others immediately starts tending to Blossomforth
"NO, WAIT!! I-I WANT TO HELP!! SHE'S MY FRIEND!!"
>You struggle against the ponies tugging at your collar, but it was nothing they couldn't handle
>Away from the scene of the accident
>Away from Blossomforth
"PLEASE! NO!! I WANT TO HELP HER!"
>You knew damn well you couldn't do a thing to help
>But you want to know what's going to happend to her now
>You want to know if she's going to be alright
>You keep struggling, but soon enough they're dragging you around a corner
>The last thing you see is the medical ponies loading Blossomforths body onto a stretcher
 
---------------------------------------------------
 
>It's been a week since the accident at Blossomforth's
>The medical ponies had let you go once the ambulance was heard heading to the hospital
>They had told you they were sorry before they walked off
>You had just laid still
>Soon enough, there had been ponies around you asking questions about what had happened
>You remained static
>Applejack soon arrived at the scene, having heard what was going on
>She chased the mob away and tried to get you up on your feet
>It takes it's time, but once you were up she lead you home and had you lay down on your couch
>You havn't moved since
>You havn't bothered to get up to eat or drink or anything
>You couldn't be arsed to
>Your mind was tumbling around, pondering over what had happened and what was going on
>You weren't really sure what to think about anything anymore
>What's the point of going on after this?
>A hoof knocks on the door
>"Anon?"
>Another knocking
>"Are you there?"
>You don't even bother to listen for who it is
>The door opens and Twilight Sparkle peeks in
>"Oh, good, you're here. Can I come in for a second?"
"..."
>She sighs and closes the door behind her
>She walk up to you and gently places her hoof on your shoulder
>"Hey, Anon."
>You shrug her hoof off
>It's not that you DON'T want her there, it's just that you don't WANT her there
>She sighs again and jumps up on the couch beside you
>"I'm just here to check up on you and make sure you're alright"
"..."
>"Though you look...pretty awful, I'm glad you’re still alive"
"..."
>"Applejack says she left you here on the couch, have you left it since? Have you gotten anything to eat since the accident?"
"..."
>She sighs yet again, almost groaning.
>"I'll let you know that I have news about Blossomforth for you."
>Blossomforth
>You're the one who caused her to trip off of her balcony
>You're the one who caused her to-...
>"Hey!"
>Twilight stands up in the couch and leans over your face to look you in the eyes
>"You're either getting up off of that couch or you are not coming to the hospital with me!"
 
"Why would I wanna go to the hospital?"
>Twilight looks at you with an annoyed expression
>She pushes you out of the couch and down on the floor
>"First things first, we're getting you something to eat!"
>She steps out in your kitchen
>Twilight had snapped you back to reality
>After laying on your couch for a week, the cold wooden floor isn't very comfortable to lay on
>You slowly get up and trudge over into the kitchen and take a seat at the table
>"Here..."
>Twilight levitates a large bowl of oatmeal and milk over to you and places it in front of you
>"Once you've finished the bowl, we're heading off."
>She pulls out a chair and jumps up to watch you and make sure that you eat
>You look at the bowl for a little while before taking up the spoon and slowly put it in your mouth
>The cold milk against your tongue really brings you back to life
>You chew the oatmeal and proceed swallow it
>You can feel it hit the bottom of your stomach
>Holy fuck, you're hungry
>The pace at which you eat speeds up rapidly
>Without saying a word, Twilight helps you to pour up another bowl, which you finish hastily
>"There we go", Twilight says, sounding a bit happier
>"Now, get changed. You're not going to a hospital in that week old suit."
>You do as you're told
>You head up to your bedroom and change into whatever you first find in the wardrobe
>It's a suit
>Twilight is waiting for you outside your house
>Together, you walk over to the hospital
>None of you utters a single word
 
>When you arrive, Twilight walks up to the nurse in the reception and tells her that she has an appointment
>The nurse checks her list
>Sure enough, Twilight's name is there
>She leads you to a room where a doctor is waiting outside
>"Hello there, Miss Twilight. And you must be Anon", he walks up to you and reaches out his hoof.
>You grab it and shake it lightly
>Not having seen a human before, the doctor takes a good look at you from head to toe out of curiosity
>You don't mind, you got used to ponies doing that after a while in Equestria
>"How is she, doctor?" Twilight asks.
>"Well, she's stable, at least. That's all we can say for sure. Her neck was injured really badly, but it's on its way to recovery."
>"So, she's going to be fine?"
>The doctor looks from Twilight, up to you, and back to Twilight.
>"Her neck is likely to be fine, but I'm afraid that doesn't guarantee she's going to wake up...anytime soon."
>The last was clearl y added out of consideration
>"Can we go inside and see her? It would mean a lot to my friend."
>The doctor hesitates a little
>"Well...alright. Just don't touch anything while you're in there. I'll go check on another patient, and when I'm back I want you to leave."
>"Thank you, doctor."
>The doctor turns around and walks away
>Twilight turns around to you and gives you a little cheerful smile
>She opens the door and shuts it behind you once you both have stepped inside
>The room is bright, the sun shining in on the white walls
>In front of you is a bed
>In it lies a white pony with the most awfully coloured mane and tail you've ever seen
 
>The fact that you were visiting Blossomforth in the hospital hadn't caught up to you yet
>Not until now
>You stand in front of the bed, just looking at her
>That beautiful mare you had
>She has a large collar around her neck and several tubes and wires going from her body to various contraptions around her bed
>Twilight walks up beside you
>She looks up at you a little, and then leans towards you as to try and bring a little comfort
>But you fall onto your knees
>Tears are filling up your eyes
>It feels like all your emotions are clogging you up from inside, and nothings getting through
>"Anon..."
>Twilight walks up to your side again and leans her side against you
>You quickly wrap your arms around her
>Twilight's a bit surprised at the sudden tight hold around her neck, but she soons let her own head sink down on your back
>You want to cry
>You want to scream
>You want to explode
>You want to burst out with all kinds of emotions
>Right now, all you can do is hold onto Twilight and hope that she keeps you from drifting away from this world again
 
>Time passes and you feel yourself calming down a little
>Behind you, a stallion clears his throat
>Both you and Twilight look up
>The doctor stood in the door opening and looked at you
>He had probably been standing there for a while
>"I'm sorry. Time's up and you have to leave."
>He follows his words up by standing aside
>Twilight looks to you and smiles gently
>You stand up and walk out the door, Twilight right behind you
"Thank you, doctor..."
>He looks at you and nods in response before walking into the room and shutting the door behind him.
