Shy mare, living near the woods >Alone, with no one to share your love with. >It’s night time, and you lay awake in your bed. >You so dearly wish for someone to hold. >But at least you have a few new flowers in your back yard. >Thanks to that cute human, Anonymous. >He’s so dreamy and wonderful; so kind and smart. >He said that the flowers you planted were somehow toxic, and a drug. >He’s just silly! Celestia would never allow such a thing in Equestria. Surely Zecora would know about the OP-M too! >Was that what Anonymous called it? >Besides it really can’t be that bad, can it? >You’ve had salt before, but…that wasn’t too bad. >Well…it’s in the past at least. >Flower drugs. >How would you even take such a thing? Eat it? >You try to roll over and induce sleep…but it doesn’t come easily. B-better go make sure they’re st-still planted… >You roll out of bed and rub your sleepy eyes. >Through the back window, the unbloomed flower bulbs bask in the cool moonlight. >They’re so green and precious looking. You can’t wait to see them bloom. >They sit there, still and roots firmly planted into the ground. >You fidget. >You know Anonymous said that these flowers were bad news…but they’re only flowers. Anonymous l-loves me. Even though he’s just looking out for my best interest, h-he’d forgive me if s-something happened. >you jiggle the doorknob, and slowly creep the door open. It’s cold outside. >You pace over to the freshly disturbed dirt where the flowers reside. >You sneak up on them for some reason, and nudge them with your hoof. T-they seem pretty normal… >You look around to make sure no one is watching. Celestia, forgive me. >The coast is clear. >You kneel down to inspect the bulbs. >You furrow your brow in confusion. H-how do I…? >You slide your tongue up the side of the plant, hoping to get some sort of buzz. >You open your eyes, but everything is still vivid and normal. >Disappointment. M-maybe I need to inject it. >You take one of the flowers’ leaves and try to ram the tip into your arm. >It bends, and you feel nothing. >you let out a frustrated groan. T-this sucks! >You kick the bulb into the dirt in anger, then stomp on it…feeling the flower spew its innards onto the dirt. >You stomp back inside into your bed. Wh-who needs those stupid flowers anyways? N-not me. >You feel tears start to form as you cover your face with your hooves. I-I just…wanted Anonymous to care… >You start to sob. You wipe the warm tears from your face. >You sniff, and notice something sticky on you. >In the dim light you make out a white liquid on your hooves. >You sniff it. It must have come from the flowers. I-it doesn’t smell that bad… >You poke your tongue out and inch it towards your hoof. >Could this be what Anonym- >Your tongue makes contact with the dripping flower blood. >You are instantly…warm. At peace. >You swallow it all, and lick the remainder off of you. >It’s…it’s delightful… >You feel like you’re sinking into your bed… >Everything is still. It feels… >Good. >Your heart no longer aches; you miss Anonymous…but you know he’ll love you now. >You miss him. You want him to be your boyfriend so very badly. >Time seems to pass so slowly…you giggle at the thought that you’re the only one aware of time even existing. >Everyone else is just silly. >You laugh at the silence. Oh, Anonymous… >Your eyes are heavy and your body goes limp. >Sleep comes easily. I…I l-love you…
