- >Day Vitamin A, And Other Essential Nutrients in Equestria.
- >Be Anon, 10 year old extraordinaire, and Element of General Badassery.
- >Strolling through the market with your mom at your side; you casually shop for the things that she needs for the week.
- >"It says right on tha sign, 8 bits fer a dozen!"
- >The country mare in front of you glares defiantly over her apples, but you won't be backing down.
- "I'll give you 8 inches of my foot up your ass; we demand a fair price, you thieving horse!"
- >A pained sigh from your side tells you that you may have gone a bit too far.
- >"Oh, Anon..."
- >Applejacks' eye twitches violently as she starts working herself up to give you a tongue lashing, but a quick look at your moms sad gaze calms her back down.
- >"Since it's fer you, Fluttershah... I'll let em go fer 5..."
- >"Oh, thank you, Applejack, that's very nice of you"
- >Mom smiles endearingly at the cowpone before turning to you with a threatening gaze.
- >Catching your cue, you throw on a charming smile as well.
- "Oh yeah, super nice. I mean, they're probably only worth 3, but if that's really the friend price..."
- >Continuing to scowl down at you; the orange mare bags up the apples and hoofs them over without another word.
- >As the two of you are walking away from the stand, your mom let's out a tired sigh that only a parent could make.
- >"What am I going to do with you...?"
- >You grin at her in a way that's time tested and proven to make her smile.
- "Loose me into the wild to live with a pack of timberwolves? You can do that, ya know? I'd probably turn into a superhero."
- >Smiling back and giggling softly; she pulls you into a walking hug with a wing.
- >It irks you a bit that you have to be here, but you wouldn't want her getting hassled by pushy salesmen.
- >It's not like you'll be eating any of this shit; this is all horse food.
- >You're a man, damnit; you require nothing but your daily intake of meat, seasoned lightly with the fear of imminent death.
- >You told mom this, and trust that she thoroughly stares down the fish that she catches for you; letting each one know that their final gasp is nigh.
- >"Almost done, Anon. Thank you so much for coming with me, I just don't know what I'd do if I was all alone..."
- >Glancing over to her, you nod in understanding.
- >She'd probably buy anything that anyone offered her out of the kindness of her heart.
- >Or be a total doormat and let anyone take advantage of her with their price gouging.
- "No worries; let's just get it over with."
- >As happy as you are to help; you'd still be glad to be done with this.
- >You'd much rather be back home wrestling with Berry and Angel.
- >Angel always wins; you just can't understand it.
- >"All that's left on the list are carrots."
- >Which conveniently enough is the next stand in front of you.
- >Walking up to it, you eye the vegetables with disdain.
- >"Hello there; can I help you?"
- >The yellow mare behind the counter with the curly orange mane politely begins her sales pitch.
- >"Y-yes please, I'll take 6 if you don't mind..."
- >Ignoring their conversation entirely; you continue to glare at what passes for "food" beneath you.
- >"Don't you like carrots? Everypone likes carrots!"
- >Glancing up, you see the mare looking at you curiously; as if you were an oddity the likes of which she'd never seen.
- >Which is true for the most part; though you're fairly well known around here.
- >Shaking your head, you stare balefully back down at the orange wastes of space.
- >"Everypone likes carrots. Here, you can even have a sample, on the house!"
- >As she insists adamantly that no one alive could possibly dislike her produce, she offers one to you with a bright and enthusiastic smile.
- >"O-oh; I really don't think that Ano-"
- >A smile that falls as quickly as her offering when you slap the carrot to the ground.
- "Vegetables are for hippies and Frenchy foo foo fag nasties."
- >Your mother visibly winces at your language before staring at you sternly.
- >Knowing what's expected of you; you roll your eyes with a sigh, and look to the orange mare who is staring at the carrot on the ground in shock.
- "I mean Frenchy foo foo fun nasties. And I'm sorry I got your gross orange thing dirty, even though it came from the ground in the first place."
- >The sound of a hoof meeting a face comes from your side, but the mare in front of you makes no reaction.
- "...Sooo-GAGH"
- >You're suddenly cut off as she leaps across her stall and tackles you to the ground with a carrot in hoof.
- >In short order she has your mouth pried open and is violently shoving the vegetable down your throat.
- >"SWALLOW IT."
- >Choking and sputtering on the offending root, you bite down and swallow in order to clear room to breathe.
- >As you gasp and wheeze for life sustaining oxygen, you shoot a pleading glance towards your mother; only to see her...
- >Blushing?
- >With red tinted cheeks, and wings at full mast; she looks down at you in shocked silence.
- >WHY?
- >A hoof on your chin directs your eyes back to the most serious gaze you've ever seen.
- >Her muzzle is only an inch from your nose as she speaks to you in a tone void of any life or mercy.
- >"EVERY DAY UNTIL YOU LIKE IT."
- >Oh god, what?
- "Seriously!? You just stand there and allow your son to be molested with vegetables!? And what was with the blushing!?"
- >A short time later sees the both of you walking back towards the cottage with groceries secured.
- >"Well, you really should eat more of your veggies... And I w-wasn't blushing..."
- >She's still blushing.
- >"And I don't want you using words like "molestation"; I'm n-not even sure how you learned about such a thing."
- >She looks away in a huff at your apparent knowledge of criminal sex acts.
- >Trying to keep your expression as deadpan as possible and not laugh at her is difficult; she's just that adorable.
- "Mom; it's pretty hard not to be aware of stuff like that when there are constantly vaginas everywhere. I can see yours right now."
- >Nope, can't help it.
- >As she "eeps" quietly, and practically gives herself a friction burn from the speed that her tail whips down; you laugh uproariously.
- >"You keep y-your eyes where they're supposed to be, m-mister!"
- >The general good mood follows you all the way home, though you can't help but feel slightly worried by Golden Harvests'(You found out her name; feeling it appropriate to know after such an encounter) parting words.
- >Every day.
- >Until you like it.
- >At school the following afternoon; you go through the motions of pretending to pay attention.
- >Math is a breeze, Equish is no problem, and no one cares about History.
- >Ms. Cheerilee likes you; so you can get away with catching a nap or two, as long as your grades don't suffer.
- >Finally hearing that sweet sound of the lunch bell that signifies a break from the monotony; you pick up your packed lunch and head outside with the rest of the class.
- >There's the usual scuffle from the fillies around you about not having an ass tattoo; but you ignore it as you always do.
- >Sitting beneath a tree; you open your lunch that was made with love, just for you.
- >You can tell from the big heart shaped fish sandwich.
- >Mom kicks so much ass.
- >Carefully peeling off the lettuce and tomato; you toss them behind you.
- >Preparing to take that first delicious mouthful; you halt at the sound of rustling from above.
- >Your gaze slowly pans upwards to meet the green eyes of Golden Harvest as she stares back down at you from a branch; threateningly brandishing a carrot.
- "This can't be legal."
- >The terror in your eyes only seems to amuse her.
- >Jumping to your feet; you begin to sprint away as quickly as possible.
- >A thud coming from where you sat moments ago letting you know that you would need all of your speed.
- >Running forward with everything you have; you notice that you're halfway to the schoolhouse.
- >You're going to make it.
- >And then two points of pressure slam into the backs of your knees, causing you to falter and trip.
- >How can she throw carrots with such deadly precision?
- >Continuing to crawl forwards; you lock eyes with Applebloom and reach a hand out to her.
- "P-please..."
- >She backs away slowly while shaking her head; you're on your own.
- >A sudden weight on your back is followed by the sun being blocked out from above; an orange mane suddenly hanging over you.
- >"Eat your carrot."
- >Sweat pours down your face as you tremble in terror and attempt to throw her off, and escape the carrot that's now dangling in front of your eyes..
- >There's nothing you can do; she's just too heavy.
- "I don't like c-carrots..."
- >She chuckles on top of you as the orange vegetable begins to poke and prod your tightly closed mouth.
- >"Everypone likes carrots."
- >Your head whips back and forth as it slides across your lips with it's rough texture, and sweet but tangy smell; but eventually it slips inside.
- >As you try to yell; it pushes deeper down your throat and chokes you once more.
- >Knowing that there is nothing else to be done; you bite down and begin to chew vigorously
- >"That's a good boy..."
- >She pats your head as you chew; stroking your hair gently.
- >"Now swallow it."
- >The sound of your chewing mixes with your sobs as you choke down the produce.
- >Once it's all gone; the weight lifts off of you, and you hear the clopping of hooves trailing away.
- >Curling up into a ball and crying at the gross taste in your mouth; you hear another set of hooves approaching.
- >Applebloom looks at you in genuine sympathy as she picks you up off the ground.
- >"Ah know it ain't easy; but ya shouldn't try tah stop her. We all started... Likin' carrots, eventually... She made sure'a that..."
- >Sobbing into her shoulder softly; you feel a fire igniting inside.
- >You wouldn't give up, you'd never obediently swallow what she gives you.
- >Spitting onto the ground; you turn away from the yellow fillys' comfort and return to your fish sandwich; hoping that it could wash away the taste of defeat.
- >The next day after school sees you inside Sugarcube corner picking up some cupcakes for mom and you.
- >Not having been assaulted yet today had you edgy about being outside at all.
- >Jumping at shadows like some kind of child; which you weren't.
- >You're a big pon... human.
- >Even so, there was nothing that you wanted more than to run back home and hide under your bed; but mom asked you nicely, and Pinkie makes bitchin cupcakes.
- >Besides; Rainbow Dash was here.
- >She wouldn't let anything bad happen to you, you're sure of it!
- >"Here ya go, Nonny! Auntie Pinkie made them just the way that you and Fluttershy like!"
- >Taking the bag of confections that smell of coconut and chocolate; you grin up at the pink mare.
- "Thanks Pinkie, these are always the best."
- >Giggling while waving a hoof at you bashfully; she disappears behind the counter as you turn to look at the Rainbow maned pegasus beside you.
- "Say, would you... Come home with me?"
- >She chuckles and roughly smacks you on the back with a hoof.
- >"You're a little young for me there, squirt."
- >Catching her meaning; you laugh back and return her rough pat.
- "Pssht; sorry, that's not what I meant. I'm only into girls~"
- >It's easy to see that you struck a nerve as she scrunches her muzzle at you in annoyance.
- "Come on; just walk home with me. I'm sure mom wants to see you anyway. Plus we have cupcakes."
- >Nodding along to the truth of that decisive statement, she relents.
- >"Alright; let's get going then. Those things are always best fresh!"
- >The sound of the bell above the door rings out just as you turn to head home.
- >Standing in your path to freedom is Golden Harvest; tossing a carrot up and down as if it were a knife.
- >"I've been looking for you, Anon."
- >You're feeling confident that you'll be protected if she tries anything, so you smirk back in defiance.
- "I won't be touching that disgusting thing today."
- >She just dons a smirk of her own and begins to trot towards you slowly.
- >Noticing the pink mane popping back up behind the counter; you turn to Pinkie.
- "Pinks; help me? I don't like carrots."
- >She giggles at your plight with a hoof over her mouth.
- >"Gotta eat your veggies if you wanna be big and strong, Nonny!"
- >There was no use in trying to reason with her; you just have to accept this one as a loss.
- >Turning instead to your protector and most trusted friend; you plead with your eyes like a wayward puppy.
- >"Haven't been eating your carrots, huh? Sorry, squirt, but it's for your own good."
- >Your look of pleading turns into one of despair.
- >They would betray you.
- >Before you can even begin to turn and make a break for it through the kitchen; Pinkie jumps across the counter and takes you down; sitting on one arm and securing it to the ground.
- "Nononono..."
- >Dash lands on your other side and does the same; effectively sealing your fate.
- >Whipping your head back and forth; you stare into the eyes of those you trusted as they look down in amusement.
- "T-traitors..."
- >Rainbow winces a bit, but Pinkie just giggles more at your accusation.
- >"Just lay back and accept it, little dude. It'll be over in 10 seconds flat."
- >As you lay on the ground helplessly; Golden Harvest slinks up to you with half lidded eyes.
- "Don't do this, please..."
- >Setting her body down on your torso; she slowly traces your shaking lips with the carrot.
- >"Open up..."
- >You try to turn your head away, but Pinkie and Rainbow won't allow it.
- >Keeping you still; they watch with bated breath as the vegetable begins to prod your mouth once more.
- >"Don't worry, Nonny, it doesn't bite. Just open up wide and take it all in!"
- >With a sudden thrust it's filling your mouth up; almost to the back of your throat.
- >Gagging at the sensation of the vegetable sliding across your tongue; you fight back the tears at your situation.
- >It's just so thick.
- >Eventually being unable to stand the fullness any longer; you bite down and chew just as you did the times before.
- >The mare on top of you softly strokes your cheek with a hoof as you cough up bits of carrot and cry to yourself.
- >"You like it, don't you...?"
- >Mrs. Cake comes downstairs and looks around in confusion as the mares lift themselves off of you.
- >But when she catches sight of Golden; she nods in understanding.
- >Rainbow lifts you onto her back and begins trotting out of the store in the direction of your house; but the entire way out, your gaze never falters from those deep green eyes that will haunt your dreams.
- "Rainbow..."
- >She doesn't look back; only responds with a guilt ridden voice.
- >"Yeah, squirt...?"
- >There's so many things you wish to say to her; but you choose what you feel is the most important at the time.
- "Why are my arms wet...?"
- >...
- >"...Don't worry about it."
- >You do.
- >The rest of the day was a blur of uncontrollable sobbing, staring blankly at the wall, and the taste of carrot that would't leave your mouth.
- >You didn't even realize that the sun had set and already risen again, until a knock on your bedroom door draws your attention from your inner turmoil.
- >"A-anon, sweetie...?"
- >Yesterdays cupcake lies uneaten beside your bed.
- >"Can I come in...?"
- >It would have been delicious, you're sure of it; but the thought of anything in your mouth after... That... makes you want to throw up.
- >Your door creeks open and your mother trots towards you.
- >Flapping up to lay beside you on the bed; she nuzzles your cheek softly.
- >Hugging her; you feel the pinpricks of tears coming to the corners of your eyes.
- >"Do you want to talk about it?"
- >Shaking your head in silence; you simply continue to hug her with a death grip.
- >"Anon; you have to try and get past this. Even somepone as fussy as Angel Bunny doesn't mind eating his carrots."
- >Berry and Angel were confused when you fled to your room in tears after arriving yesterday.
- >You... Didn't want them to see you crying; to think any less of you.
- "I just don't like them..."
- >"Everypone likes carrots."
- >Your eyes widen in horror at that voice coming from your doorway.
- >Looking up quickly; your worst fears are confirmed.
- >She trots slowly into your room; your sanctuary.
- >Trying to crawl away on the bed; you find that you can't.
- >Hooves wrap under your arms and pull you backwards into your moms soft stomach fur.
- >"I'm sorry... But it's for your own good..."
- >She set you up.
- >You flail wildly in her grip; but she's just too strong.
- >Tears fall freely now, as Golden Harvest stops directly in front of you at the bedside and dangles a carrot in your face.
- "Why...?"
- >Your mothers whispered breath tickles your ear as she continues to nuzzle you.
- >"Because you need to eat your vegetables... Please, just a taste...? For mama...?"
- "..."
- >How could you resist her when she asks you like that?
- >With teary eyes, you gingerly lick the tip of the vegetable before nibbling slightly.
- >It really isn't that bad when you willingly take it into your mouth.
- >As you're released from behind, you begin to slowly eat the produce in earnest.
- >"There see? Was that so hard? I told you, everypone likes carrots."
- >Finishing up with a final crunch; you nod to the yellow mare that really was only looking out for your best interests.
- "Hey, mom...?"
- >"Yes, sweetie?"
- >Turning back to look at her as she smiles at you happily; you say what's been on your mind since you started to enjoy the stiff vegetable.
- "I think I'm gay."
- >"...I ...What?"
- >It was a confusing day.
