  1. >You are Twilight Sparkle, and you are currently sipping on some hot chocolate that Spike was kind enough to make for you.
  2. >Apparently Anonymous went after Fluttershy to get her to apologize to you for what she'd done. Unfortunately you still worried for him, after all you didn't want him hurt over you.
  3. >Spike insisted Anonymous would be fine, after all Anonymous is a tall, strong human. Fluttershy is a small pegasi, if Fluttershy tries to hurt Anon he'd be able to handle himself.
  4. >"What's the worst that could happen?" was his exact question. It took a little convincing from Spike, and a little hot chocolate to calm your nerves.
  5. >As you sipped on your drink you took a few quick glances at P0nyville. The p0nies who inhabited the town start moving around again.
  6. >Now that the buildings were back to their natural state there was no longer a threat to p0ny-kind they were able to move about freely.
  7. >Though the dancing bulls, stampeding rabbits, and poker card lined streets and grass were an issue everyp0ny still had to contend with.
  8. >But if your suspicions are correct, then the more friends Anonymous makes the more your town goes back to normal.
  9. >Why would Discord do such a thing? He brought that human to spread chaos, well that was your assumption anyway; so why, why bring the town closer to normality, to order?
  10. >You were tempted to sift through a few books, but you probably wouldn't have found anything anyway. After all you're not some smart unicorn, you're just Twilight.
  11. >Twilight the failed student, couldn't even stop a crazy villain from taking over Equestria. You sigh to yourself before drinking some more of your hot chocolate.
  12. >Suddenly a loud banging on your door caught your attention. The knocks came in at a rapid pace and showed no signs of stopping.
  13. >"Hey, the library's closed what the hay do you...want," Spike said as he open the door to the library and looked to see who came to visit.
  14. >Spike turned around to look at you, his little eyes showed fear, "Twilight come quick! It's Anonymous!" you let your cup out of your magical grip, not caring that it shattered upon your floor.
  15. >You quickly descend your ladder and run over to the front door to find: Big Macintosh and Applejack panting. You look to see that Big Mac is carrying a wagon...and inside that wagon is...
  16. >Anonymous...he looks pretty beat up...and he's barely breathing. "Quick get him inside," you say as your horn begins to glow. You pick up Anonymous in your magical grasp and bring him inside.
  17. >Applejack and Big Mac follow in behind you. Spike runs to your basement door and opens it for the two of you. You gallop in and gently place Anonymous upon his bed.
  18. >"What happened?!" you cry as you turn to face the two Apple P0nies. Neither look you in the eye, instead they cast their gaze to your wooden floor.
  19. >"Applejack...please don't lie to me, what happened?" you ask as you trot over to your old friend. You're glad to find that she's returned to her normal self...but with things as they are you're not showing it.
  20. >His voice...when it resounds throughout your basement it sends chills down your spine, "Yes, please. Tell Twilight what happened." says Discord as he appears in a flash of purple fire.
  21. >He floats over to Anonymous and examines him, any sort of goofy antic, any sign of a crazy smile is gone. When his red eyes look over you, you freeze in terror.
  22. >Discord's face shows no expression...but you can feel the rage burning within him. He floats over to the three of you. "Please explain how Anonymous could be so damaged when all he's doing is making friends."
  23. >Applejack finally speaks, D..Discord...Twi...it was all mah fault...ah-" Applejack is cut off when Discord back hands her with his griffon hand. The force of impact sends her flying a good thirty feet away.
  24. >She lands on upon your table, shattering empty beakers upon landing. Big Mac opens his mouth to say something but the purple wisps snaking around Discord's fingers silence him.
  25. >"You know I'm a friendly Dracoequis but when my plans are pushed back due to somep0ny's stupidity I get a little angry," says Discord as he looks over you and Big Mac.
  26. >"W..why'd you hit her?!" you find yourself shouting, Discord leans in until the two of you are face to face. "It's as she said, it was her fault, unless she was lying of course." he says with a smile.
  27. >"Is there something you're hiding Ms. Sparkle," Discord asks, you try to look away from his piercing red eyes, but his lion's paw slides under your chin and lifts your head, forcing you to look.
  28. >"He...he was trying to get Fluttershy to apologize for throwing water and a bucket on me...and...I guess he got hurt. He probably found Fluttershy at Sweet Apple Acres," you explain to Discord.
  29. >"Thank you for your honesty Twilight," he turns to Big Macintosh, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?" he asks, Big Mac nods, "Fix mah sister," Big Mac says quietly.
  30. >Discord laugh is hollow, "YOU'RE ordering ME? Oh that's rich, perhaps you'd like to turn in to a dog again," Discord says, Big Mac starts to back away.
  31. >"N...no, not again," says Macintosh as he backs up to your wall, "Ah don wanna chase mah tail again...or lick mahself in public," Big Mac starts to shake.
  32. >"Then please, between Fluttershy putting a bucket on Twilight, Anonymous trying to make her apologize, and him ending up back here bloodied and beaten, what happened? There are gaps that need to be filled," Discord explains.
  33. >And thus Big Mac tells Discord everything he knows, his sister had explained along the way that Fluttershy had taken advantage of Anonymous' ignorance, and that Applejack convinced him that Anonymous tried to rape the two of them.
  34. >Discord nod's once, "It appears as if I've overreacted," and with a snap of his fingers a purple aura consumes Applejack. When it dissipates Discord says,
  35. >"She'll be fine in the morning, I suggest you bring her back to your farm. You're dismissed," as soon as Discord finishes Big Mac rushes over to his sister, he puts her on his back, then he gallops up the stairs and out of the basement.
  36. >That leaves you and him...he turns back to you, he flies over you and stops above Anonymous, "I'll be taking Anonymous. Now despite what has happened Anonymous was in your care, he was your responsibility. The blame shall be shifted on to you,"
  37. >You're quick to respond, "Hey that's not-" he cuts you off, "Fair? Yes you're right, it isn't fair that you left Anonymous to fend for himself. Were he with you, you would have been able to explain to Macintosh that Applejack was lying," you open your mouth in protest but Discord doesn't give you a moment.
  38. >"And Anonymous would have not...stimulated Fluttershy had you remembered to explain to him p0ny anatomy." he narrows his eyes and crosses his arms.
  39. >"Why didn't you go with him? Is it because you were too busy crying over a little water? Oh boo hoo Twilight. He needed you and you failed him, just like how you failed to stop me, and because of that Anonymous now gets to suffer. You're such a great friend Twilight," and with that he teleports out with Anonymous.
  40. >That leaves you to collapse upon your floor and cry, you were right...he's right...you can't do anything to help your friends. Your coat turns a little more gray that day.
  41.  
  42. >You're Screwball, and you're currently sitting on a stool in one of the four corners of your little living room. Your sister Eris sits on a stool at the opposite corner.
  43. >Destroyed furniture, flooring, and roofing lies around the two of you. When daddy stopped by for a visit...he didn't appreciate the state the two of you left your home in.
  44. >In fact he gave the two of you a stern talking to before putting you two in your corners for punishment. This sucks, you don't like being unable to do anything.
  45. >Neither does Eris and you know it, you've been hearing her grumbling to herself for the better part of two hours. It's already past noon, he's kept the two of you here for the better part of three hours.
  46. >Your fanny's starting to get sore...and that's when the crackling of dad's magic fills your ears. You know Eris hears it too. The two of you turn to see your daddy carrying Anonymous.
  47. >Ouch...did Anonymous get run over by the long legged bunnies? "Girls, your punishment's over I'm going to need your assistance for a moment."
  48. >The two of you are in front of him in a flash, neither of you wish to anger him. Judging by his tone he's already mad as it is.
  49. >When the two of you find your new places in front of daddy you get a better look at Anonymous. His left eye's swelled shut, his face is covered in bruises, his clothes are dirty and torn, and it looks like he broke a few fingers on his left hand.
  50. >"Whoa what happened to him daddy?" you ask out of wonderment rather than concern, "Screwball, Anonymous got in to a little scuffle," your dad explains as he starts floating down the hall towards Anonymous' bathroom.
  51. >You and Eris are close behind, "A little scuffle? Dad he looks like he got run over by a train," says Eris as she opens Anonymous' bathroom door for daddy.
  52. >As he floats inside he says, "Girls remember that hospital I had you go to a little while back?" daddy asks, "Of course I do! You had us get those hospital beds and we raced them down that hill!" you shout happily...with the sick people still on them.
  53. >Discord nods, "Yes, now do you remember all that medical equipment around those beds?" The two of you nod in response.
  54. >"Good, I'm going to need you to get those things, and I'm going to need you to steal everything from those little medical cabinets, I already healed Anon's ailments once. It'll be another day until I can heal him again," Discord says as he strips Anonymous of his clothing. He then sets Anon in his bathtub.
  55. >"Last thing I need to do is try to fix him with residual chaotic magic still inside him. Probably end up turning his heart in to a parrot or something," Daddy turns the knobs to Anonymous' bathtub.
  56. >"While the two of you gather the medical equipment I'm going to clean him up and get him in bed. Hope he doesn't wake up during this little procedure...at least until we get the morphine in him," your dad chuckles nervously.
  57. >"He's gonna be hurting isn't he?" you ask, "Oh you have no idea pumpkin," your father responds, "Can I count on the two of you to get the stuff I need?" the two of you answer by saluting.
  58. >He smiles, "Good girls, now go," Eris snaps her fingers and the two of you travel to Anonymous' home planet. You want to fly around and meet people but Eris wants to get this done as quickly as possible.
  59. >So...you have her chase you around for a few minutes, you stop considering you went a little to high...and there was this airplane turbine that sucked up your favorite hat!
  60. >You were going to teach it a thing or two about stealing your hat but Eris yanked you away, said that you were gonna get chopped to bits or something. Silly Eris airplane turbines aren't dangerous.
  61. >With that little bit of playing out of the way it's time for you to get what you came for. Medical thingies...stuff...Eris brings you to a nearby hospital.
  62. >From there the two of you infiltrate the hospital, ducking behind trays, hiding in medical bins, all in hopes of not being spotted by any humans.
  63. >After a good thirty minutes of hiding and moving around the two of you find yourself in a medical supply closet. As Eris gathers various medicines you ask, "Eris why didn't you make us invisible?"
  64. >Eris was in the middle of reaching out for a bottle of morphine when you asked that, she stops in mid grab. "Son of a bitch..." When the two of you have enough medicines Eris sends them back to your home.
  65. >With the little things out of the way its time for the larger stuff, this time your silly sister turns the both of you invisible. "Alright let's go pipsqueak," Eris says.
  66. >Unfortunately she ends up colliding with you, and it takes a good ten minutes for the two of you to get untangled since neither of you can see each other...or yourselves.
  67. >With that little headache out of the way the two of you stick to the ceilings, well out of the way of the humans as they walk up and down the various hallways.
  68. >After searching around a few rooms the two of you manage to find an empty one. It doesn't take long for the two of you to gather what you believe to be needed.
  69. >You took the bed too, but that was more for you than anything. "What the hay are you doing with that bed?" your sister asks as she watches it float beside her.
  70. >"Bed sledding, nuf said," you respond, "You are definitely not bringing the bed, we don't need it," your sister is such a party pooper. "Aw, come on! I haven't gone bed sledding in forever!"
  71. >You can hear Eris facepalming, "You went bed sledding last week you idiot!" your only response is: "But that was then and this is now. When will I ever get this opportunity again?!"
  72. >It takes you a moment to register that your sister just called you an idiot, you swing the bed at the heart monitor, you hear it thunk when you connect with some part of your sister. "Don't call me an idiot!"
  73. >Eris growls before swinging the I.V. rack at you, she hits the top of your head. "That hurt you bitch!" Eris cries before she groans. When the little birds fly away you say, "Oh, It.Is.On!"
  74. >Cries of anger and the banging of medical equipment can be heard as the two of you fight each other by throwing the items in the room.
  75. >Neither of you are really able to hit anything other than what you're holding. The fact that either of you hit each other in the first place was nothing more than luck.
  76. >The slamming of a door causes the two of you to freeze. The two of you look in the direction of the door to find a clown in a nurse's outfit. This is no happy clown though...he's scary.
  77. >His make-up is poorly applied and you can clearly see the scars running from his lips to his cheeks giving him a permanent smile. He's staring at the site before him.
  78. >What he saw was a mattress beating the hell out of a heart monitor. He looks over the floating objects before him for a few seconds before laughing hysterically.
  79. >Still laughing he walks over to a medical cabinet and looks inside for a moment. He reaches in and you can hear something start to beep.
  80. >"Oh I'm so sorry for interrupting you!" he shouts in between fits of crazed laughter. As he heads for the door he turns back and says, "Don't mind me! Carry on!" and with that he slams the door leaving the two of you alone.
  81. >"Who was that guy?" Eris asks, "I dunno, and where are we anyway? Didn't daddy tell you to go to Anonymous' home city?" you ask as you turn to look at the floating heart monitor.
  82. >"I did!" your sister shouts, "Really, where are we then?" you ask smugly, "Hmm...I think Anon's city was called Gottem...or Golf-em or something I can't remember, but this is definitely it." your sister doesn't sound very sure.
  83. >"I think you sent us somewhere else cause you can't teleport to save your life," you say before blowing raspberries. You can hear the tea kettle boiling noise that indicated your sister's growing rage.
  84. >Suddenly the beeping from within the cabinet stops, you hear something click. "Huh, I wonder what the clown man put in here?" you ask as you look in the cabinets to find...
  85. >Four gray elongated bricks, they appear to be wrapped together by some black duct tape. When you pick it up you see a green wire protruding from the tips of each brick.
  86. >They appear to be connected to some...black thing that has four red zeros flashing on it. There are even more wires connected to some green metal looking thingy.
  87. >"What is it?" you ask as you pick it up and put it on your hospital bed. "I don't know...but what are you going to do with it?" Eris asks.
  88. >"I'm going to bring it home and show daddy! He has to know!" you exclaim, "Fine, whatever, we've been here long enough anyway, we got what we need let's go." you hear your sister snap your fingers and boom, you're back home.
  89. >The two of you arrive in Anonymous' room. You find that your daddy has already gotten Anonymous in to his bed. When he turns to look at the floating objects that have appeared he snaps his fingers.
  90. >Now neither you nor your sister are invisible. "Ah, I see you've brought me...everything. Well I never specified and it's better to have too much than too little," he motions for you to set your stuff down.
  91. >When you do you fly over to your dad and show him the gray brick thingy you found in the hospital. "What's that dear?" Discord asks as he looks at the object in your hooves.
  92. >"We don't know, we found it in the hospital and we were wondering if you knew," you explain as you set the object in your dad's lion paw. He puts the object close to his eyes and examines it.
  93. >"I wonder," Discord asks as he brings forth two pieces of bread. "Is it food?" he sniffs the object once before setting it in between the two pieces of bread.
  94. >"It doesn't have much of a smell but it looks edible," and with that he eats the sandwich in one bite, he lets it sit in his stomach for a moment before groaning.
  95. >"Okay that wasn't food," you can hear his stomach start to rumble, he looks to you, then to Eris. You see his red irises shrink to the size of pinpricks before he flies out of the room.
  96. >You hear a door slam from in the hallway, "Oh Tartarus no did he just run in to my bathroom?!" you sister shouts before flying out of Anonymous' room.
  97. >You fly to Anonymous' door and peer out in to the hallway to find Eris banging on her bathroom door. "Daddy you are not doing THAT in MY bathroom!" Eris shouts as she bangs on her door.
  98. >You hear your father groan, "Oh my stomach," he says before grunting, he grunts again. "Daddy you better not-" she doesn't get to finish her sentence.
  99. >The sound of an explosion rings out from within Eris' bathroom. The door flies open and flames consume your sister. Your eyes widen in surprise.
  100. >When the flames die down you hurry over to your sister. She's completely black, covered in soot. A single strand of hair remains aflame, you pit it out for her.
  101. >She wheezes out a cough before falling flat on her back, she's unresponsive. "What did my daddy eat?" you ask to nop0ny in particular as you look in to the warzone known as Eris' bathroom.
  102. >Just like Eris herself her bathroom is covered in soot, the sink and bathtub is destroyed and nothing remains of the toilet.
  103. That's when you notice sunlight shining through. You look up to find that there is no ceiling in your sister's bathroom. Then you can see the flame trails of your father as he shoots in to the sky.
  104. >Apparently whatever you gave him must have ignited his gas...because the fire seems to be coming from his flank. His screams of terror echo back to you.
  105. >"Daddy...?" you ask as you watch your father fly higher and higher in to the sky. Suddenly a fiery explosion lights up the skies of Canterlot. You turn away from the bright light and flames.
  106. >When you're able to look again you see singed parts of your father fall back to the ground below. You shriek when his head lands back in Eris' bathroom.
  107. >Your eyes widen with terror, this isn't funny. You slink over to your father's head and poke it, "Hey...daddy...are you okay?" you ask, your voice filled with worry.
  108. >After a little bit of prodding his head groans, when his eyes flutter open you pick up his head in your hooves, "Ugh...that had to have been the spiciest thing I've ever eaten," Discord laughs weakly.
  109. >"Good, you're okay...sort of," you say meekly before giving your dad a nervous grin. "Sweetie...can you do something for daddy?" he asks as he looks to you.
  110. >"Sure, anything," you say, "Put my head on that medical bed you brought," you nod before lifting off and flying back in to Anonymous' room.
  111. >You place his head upon the bed you've obtained, "Now listen to daddy very carefully, that food's left daddy very weak. You're going to have to hook those machines up to Anonymous." you nod while he explains.
  112. >"Then when your sister wakes up she's going to have to apply the power necessary for those things to run." your dad explains as he eyes the medical equipment around you.
  113. >"They should keep him stable until I'm up and about again, by the time everything grows back I should be able to fix up Anonymous. Are you ready Screwball?" Discord asks.
  114. >You salute your father's head, you know you can do this without screwing it up. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?
  115. >A few hours have passed since you've set up the medical equipment around Anonymous. Your sister, after she came to, reluctantly supplied the energy necessary in order to run the machines.
  116. >Then it took another hour of daddy's directions in order to properly connect everything to Anonymous. You've never seen so many needles and wires... you ended up making a smiley face with needles on his arm.
  117. >Daddy didn't like you wasting needles so you had to redo your work...why does daddy take away your fun so much? It sucks enough as it is since you don't have your hat...stupid airplanes
  118. >You can't even fly anymore! Never mind the fact that you've been flying without it and your hat is nothing more than an aesthetic...and that you can just pull the one you have out of your pocket.
  119. >When you do and place it upon your head you start to wonder just how you can have pockets when you're naked, but when chaos is involved anything is possible. After all you are your father's daughter.
  120. >When Eris looked over daddy she laughed hysterically at daddy's condition. Saying that it served him right for using her bathroom.
  121. >Discord was definitely angry but with him being in his condition he can't do anything to silence her. With Daddy's head in a comfortable position, with Anonymous set up and connected, and with your punishment over...you can't think of anything to do.
  122. >You sit in the ruins of your living room with your sister. The two of you have been coming up with random ideas in order to pass the time. Each idea seems to get progressively worse.
  123. >Eris has an idea that does nothing to help your boredom, in fact it exacerbates it. She suggests the two of you work together to clean the mess made from yesterday's fight.
  124. >"But I don't wanna clean up," you whine before lazily kicking your hooves. Your sister sighs, "Screwball we have magic it won't take more than a few minutes," you won't have any of that.
  125. >"But that's too long sis I'm tired, I'm hungry, I wanna do something fuuuuuunah," you roll over on your back and lay sprawled out in your messy floor.
  126. >"Oh for the love of...Screwball we just came back from grabbing a mountain of electric thingies, you're putting forth more effort with that than this," her explanations fall upon deaf ears.
  127. >"Meeeeeeh," you raise your whining in volume and kick your legs again. Eris cries out in frustration at your antics, "Fine I'll do it you lazy flank!" Eris snaps her fingers a brooms materialize out of thin air.
  128. >You look around as the brooms start sweeping piles of broken pieces together in to separate piles, you smile before crossing your fore hooves behind the back of your head.
  129. >Ah the rewards of doing nothing are sweet indeed. When you close your eyes you feel a broom sweep in to your side, you open and eye to watch the enchanted broom do nothing other than hit you.
  130. >"Hey sis I think you've got a 'special' broom here," you say as you get to your hooves, it sweeps up the junk you were lying on, "Hey I was being lazy on that!" you shout.
  131. >You try to lunge for the treacherous broom but it flies away from you, you end up landing on your stomach. Before you can get up you can feel the bristles from the broom smack your flank.
  132. >You hear Eris laughing at your misfortune, "Why don't you just leave and let the brooms do their thing?" your sister suggests, "After all there's a pool you can do nothing in," she continues.
  133. >Actually, swimming doesn't sound like a bad idea, with an idea to pass the time set in your mind you make a mad dash towards the door leading in to the hot tub/ indoor pool room.
  134. >Thankfully neither you nor your sister fought in here so everything is still in one piece. You trot around the floating pool toys to look in to the cold, clear water beneath.
  135. >The tiles that made up the pool's floor and walls reflected the wacky color scheme the rest of your little home had.
  136. >Multiple colors in varied patches cover the pools interior, even the pool lights were multi-colored. You ignore the color scheme and dip a hoof in to the waters to find that it's the perfect temperature.
  137. >You waste no time in leaping in to the air and doing a dramatic dive. Unfortunately...you never move forward, you end up face planting in to the concrete on the side of the pool.
  138. >When you're able to lift your head you stop for a moment and count the starts that swirl around your head. You shake your head rapidly in order to dispel the starts.
  139. >Then you crawl in to the pool instead of risking another dive of perfection. Ah the soothing, cold waters of the pool work wonders on your now throbbing head.
  140. >You take a deep breath before diving, nop0ny knows how you do it, but you manage to move your hooves in a way that allows you to swim under normal circumstances.
  141. >Normally p0nies are unable to do anything other than a doggie paddle, but you're not like every other p0ny now are you?
  142. >You spend the rest of your time enjoying the wonders of swimming beneath the waters of your pool...
  143.  
  144. >"Oh...oh man...what happened?" you ask as your eyes start to adjust to the lighting above you. You groan before trying to sit up in your bed. At least you're away from that orchard and in a safe location.
  145. >Your body cries out in pain, muscles spasm within and broken bones only enhance your displeasure. You're forced to lie back. Slowly the events that led to this moment start to resurface.
  146. >Anger dwells within, but it's masked by the agony of your injuries. When you grunt in frustration a familiar voice calls your attention.
  147. >"Ah, so you're awake," says Discord from an unknown location, your eyes scan the ceiling, then around your bed. That's when you start to register that you're hooked up to various pieces of medical equipment.
  148. >The steady beeping of the heart monitor above you is more than enough to attest to that suspicion. "Hey, over here, turn your head," Discord orders.
  149. >You turn your head in the direction of his voice to find a medical bed next to yours...then you see the head of Discord, "Like my new look?" he asks as he gives you a smarmy grin.
  150. >You choke out, "Damn Discord I didn't know the south beach diet actually did shit," the two of you share a short laugh, that is until your rib cage starts poking your lungs causing you to cough.
  151. >"Oh, oh god it hurts to laugh," you manage to cough out before going silent. "Yeah I figured your body would be a little broken from that beating you took." oh yes, the beating of a lifetime from some hick p0ny.
  152. >If only Fluttershy didn't aim for your sack you'd have won that little fight of yours. But things don't always work out in your favor, "Hey Discord...i'm surprised you didn't just heal me," you state.
  153. >"That's because the chaotic magic I used from before is still dwelling within you, if I cast another spell on you my magic and the remaining magic won't...mix well and I might end up killing you. It'll be another day before I can heal you and it'll be even longer before I have the power to do so." well there goes that suggestion.
  154. >"Well isn't that just peachy?" you ask as you turn back to look at your ceiling, "I'm guessing Eris and Screwball got the hospital stuff?" you wait for Discord to reply.
  155. >"Yes and they brought some sort of...metal brick thing that I ate...and well...it didn't end well for me as you can see," You nod, "Yeah I figured, let me guess explosive?" silence you turn your head to see Discord's deadpan glare.
  156. >"You just tried to nod didn't you?" you ask, "Yes, yes I did, this healing process is going to be a lot more annoying than I thought," Discord explains as he turns his gaze to you.
  157. >"Explosive must have really damaged you huh? That's probably why you have no power?" you quirk a brow in question, "Indeed, I'm stuck here until everything grows back," this presents quite the opportunity for you.
  158. >"Hey Discord," you ask, "Yes Anon," he responds, "I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask you, I mean after all we're gonna be here for a while," you smile at your suggestion.
  159. >"Fine, ask away, but before you do so, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. You need to eat something, you haven't eaten anything since you've arrived, it's been days." he's right, you haven't eaten or drank a single thing since coming to Equestria.
  160. >You remember being hungry back in Twilight's library the first day you arrived, but after Discord cast his healing spell the hunger left you.
  161. >You figured you'd end up being hungry or thirsty later, but it never came. You figured it was just a bi-product of Discord's magic. "I figured you made it to where I didn't need to eat," you say.
  162. >"Nope, that's just a side effect, your body still needs nutrients Anon. It's running off of the remaining magic inside you and nothing more." Discord takes a breath to continue, you find that odd considering he has no lungs with which to take in air.
  163. >"When that dries up and dissipates your body is going to feel the effects of eating and drinking nothing over the course of a week. I don't know how you humans work but I think four days without drinking water kills you," well hasn't your day just gone swimmingly?
  164. >You'd yell out of frustration but your jaw is killing you, instead you settle for a grunt. You wish Discord told you this sooner, now you're probably going to die after having to deal with being unable to move.
  165. >"Bah don't worry about it Anon it's not all bad," you resist the urge to fight against your body's need to rest just so you could clock Discord one good time. Instead you turn your head towards Discord's and glare.
  166. >"After all, my daughters will be more than capable of taking care of us. Well you more than me, I'll be fine." Discord says with a hearty laugh. You turn your head back so you can look at your ceiling.
  167. >"So, what do I just call for one of them or do we wait or what?" you ask without looking over to your 'bunk mate.' Discord sighs before calling out, "Eris, be a dear and come here please?"
  168. >"Simple as that?" you ask, "Simple as that," Discord responds with a smile. Now the two of you wait in silence for his daughter to come floating in. Five minutes pass and no one comes in to check up on you.
  169. >You turn to Discord and he shoots you a nervous grin, "Anytime now Anon, have patience." You shake your head in disappointment before looking towards the door. Ten minutes pass without anything occurring.
  170. >"Guess a number between one and twenty," Discord says. Yeah you know about this game, might as well pass the time with it. After many guesses and another ten minutes you guess correctly five times.
  171. >"Still nothing Discord," you say with a sigh, "How about we play I Spy or something," Discord asks, "Sure why not?" you ask in return. "Okay I spy with my little eye something white," you answer without skipping a beat.
  172. >"Is it my ceiling?" you ask, "Correct!" Discord says happily, the two of you sit there for a moment while you try to think of something, "I spy with my little eye, something white," Discord chuckles.
  173. >"Your door?" He asks, "Yup," you say in return. "I think you need more furniture this is going to get old," Discord states, "I'm fine with what I've got," you say before going back to waiting.
  174. >The two of you continue your little game for a few minutes before you hear something hit your door. That causes you to turn your attention to the door. Whispering could be heard.
  175. >"No I'm not going in there like this!" you hear Eris whisper, "Oh come on it'll be fun," Screwball says in return before giggling, "Screwball no, this is demeaning," Eris says again.
  176. >Suddenly the door opens and you see Eris get thrown in to the room. Screwball stands by the door with a shit eating grin on her face. "Heeeey Anon your maid is here!" she says before giggling.
  177. >You move your head so you can see Screwball better, "What the hell are you talking about?" you ask her, completely confused on to what the hell she means. That's when Eris comes in to your field of vision.
  178. >She floats up from the end of your bed, you see that Eris is wearing the equivalent to a french maid's outfit. She bares her teeth before growling and glaring at you. How does Screwball pull this stuff off?
  179. >"Well...uh...that's different?" you ask before quirking a brow. You see Eris' cheeks turn a bright shade of red before she growls again. She shakes with rage, she obviously didn't want to do this.
  180. >Screwball is too busy laughing to notice, or to care. "What do you want?" Eris looks between you and Discord. That's when you hear Discord start to laugh hysterically.
  181. >Wow there's steam coming out of Eris' ears now, if she didn't seem angry before she did now, "Okay, since daddy is being a flank face, what do you want Anon?"
  182. >"Water would be nice please, apparently if I don't drink some I'll die tomorrow or something," you say, you'd shrug in order to emphasize your speech but your body refuses to cooperate.
  183. >"One glass of water, and nothing for daddy? Okay." and with that Eris floats out of your room, grumbling all the while. When she's out of sight Screwball finally manages to stop laughing.
  184. >"Isn't this great or what?" she asks you with a silly grin, you shake your head, "I don't see what's so funny," you say in a neutral tone. Screwball pouts, "Aww you're no fun," she says before looking out in to the hallway.
  185. >"Oh here she comes Anon, and she's got your water on a little tray too!" Screwball shouts, "Shut up pipsqueak!" Eris screams before she enters your room again.
  186. >It's as Screwball says, she's actually got a glass of water on a silver tray. You would laugh at this but you've already learned your lesson from the first time you tried to laugh.
  187. >"Here you go," Eris says as she tries to hand you your cup of water. You stare at the glass of water, she floats there waiting for you to take it, "Well?" Eris asks, you open your mouth to speak but Screwball says what needs to be said for you.
  188. >"Hey Dumb Flank Anon can't move, you're going to have to help him drink!" Screwball shouts before giggling, Eris' face lights up yet again. She turns to Screwball, "No way in Tartarus," Eris says before backing away.
  189. >"Eris," Discord calls, Eris stops in her tracks. "If Anonymous doesn't receive fluid and nourishment he will die when my magic runs its course. If he can't do things on his own it's up to you to help him."
  190. >Eris gives her dad a pleading expression, "Do it faggot!" Screwball calls out from your door. "Screwball you aren't helping, zip it." Discord says, his voice reflecting annoyance.
  191. >"Yes daddy," Screwball says before drooping her head. You see Eris looking at you nervously, her cheeks are still red. You sigh, "Please help me drink water so I won't die?" you ask.
  192. >This wasn't exactly pleasant for you either, the thought of someone or something else helping you out made you angry.
  193. >Hell being helpless made you angry, you've spent a good portion of your life doing things for yourself; trying your best to go without asking for a hand out or for help. It's worked so far.
  194. >But if there's no way around it you might as well just go with it, now you sit and wait for Eris to comply. She moves towards you, she grabs the glass of water in her lion's paw.
  195. >She sets the tray down next to your bed and floats over to the side of your head, with her grphyon hand she reaches under your back and lifts you up so you're sitting at an incline.
  196. >Your body seems to scream out in protest to being moved but it'll have to deal with it, you're not going to die in some strange world if you can help it.
  197. >Eris then reaches out and pulls your pillows back so you have at least a little comfort. Then she puts the glass to your lips and tilts it forward.
  198. >You open your mouth and allow the tasteless substance to slide down your parched throat. As soon as you feel the cool, refreshing liquid travel down to your stomach you realize just how thirsty you are.
  199. >You gulp loudly as you greedily drink down every single drop in the cup presented to you. When the glass is empty Eris pulls it away from you. You let out a sigh of satisfaction.
  200. >"T...t...there you happy?" Eris asks, she's as flustered as ever and she refuses to make eye contact with you.
  201. >You smile, "Yes thank you," Eris looks away from you and says something but it's so quiet you can't hear her. "May I have some more?" you ask, she looks back to you, "What?" you speak a little louder.
  202. >"May I have some more? Better safe than sorry you know," your statement holds truth, she nods before taking your glass and tray. She leaves the room yet again.
  203. >Screwball and Discord seem to be enjoying this way too much, Screwball trots over to Discord's bed. "Screwball how did you get her to agree to this?" Screwball leans in and whispers, "I blackmailed her."
  204. >Discord chuckles, "That's my girl," what is wrong with this family? You shake your head before looking back to your door.
  205. >Soon enough Eris comes back in with a full glass of water, the two of you go through the same routine as before except this time Eris is able to actually look at you.
  206. >Again you drink and again you thank her. With your thirst sated you don't ask for anything else, Eris is about to leave the room until Screwball speaks.
  207. >"You know you're gonna have to help him go to the bathroom too right?" you can see Screwball's smarmy grin. Eris shudders before floating out and slamming your door behind herself.
  208. >Discord and Screwball start laughing again and all you can do is sigh, she's right though, you can't use the bathroom without help.
  209. >You feel your cheeks burning, god this is going to be awkward, you really don't want to subjugate a chimera to your member...for Eris' sake you're going to go without eating for as long as you can.
  210. >After thirty minutes of having to listen to Screwball and Discord talk about nothing in particular Screwball finally decides to leave; but before she does she sets you up so you're lying down.
  211. >You watch as Screwball pulls out a bottle of medication out of thin air, she twists off the cap and two white pills fall in to her hoof. "Here, it's gonna be a pain getting to sleep, these should help."
  212. >She smiles before lightly tapping your gut, pain erupts through your body causing you to shout in agony. Screwball takes this time to throw both pills in to your open maw.
  213. >She then closes your mouth and makes you swallow the two pills. "There ya go," Screwball says before patting your head. Screwball is the devil in disguise you just know it...
  214. >After your little bit of torture is finished she waves bye to the two of you while flying backwards out of your room. Her flank hits your closed door.
  215. >She sighs, opens the door, and continues her backwards exit. When she shuts the door you look over to Discord, "Hey, what was that with Eris?" you ask,
  216. >"Oh that, she's always been that way when she has to do things she doesn't like. She's being forced to act out of her element, of course she's going to be embarrassed," Discord explains as if its the most obvious thing in the world.
  217. >That reminds you, "Hey, I've got a...question..." you can't think of anything else to say and Discord's response comes out garbled.
  218. >Your vision begins to blur, the solid color of your room starts to swim with life. Did Screwball really gives you sleeping medication? Regardless you're out like a light...
  219.  
  220. >A few hours later...
  221. >Using your hooves you slowly push open Anon's door to find daddy and Anonymous sound asleep. That medication you gave Anon must have really done the trick.
  222. >"Hey they're asleep," you whisper out in to the hall, Eris comes slinking around the corner and up to you. "Screwball this doesn't seem like a good idea," your sister says, peering in to Anon's room as she does so.
  223. >"Well it was your idea sis, I'm just helping you along because I'm such a nice sister," you whisper before opening Anon's door all the way. "Yeah because you wanted to do this too," Eris says in a low voice.
  224. >"That's irrelevant," you retort as you float in to Anon's room. Eris floats in right behind you. The two of you creep over to Anon's bed. You look over to your father to see if there's any change in his breathing. Yeah he's fast asleep still.
  225. >Luckily there isn't, "Okay," you say to Eris before floating over Anon's sleeping form, "Daddy didn't put his clothes on after his bath so this should be easy." you say before pointing to Anon.
  226. >"I'm still not so sure we should do this, I kinda feel...I dunno, guilty," Eris whispers before shrugging. "Hey you're the one who said he was cute I'm just helping you along," you say before reaching for Anon's covers.
  227. >"You said he was too you little harlot," Eris says, "Hey I drugged Anon so I could do this...I mean so WE could do this. So just go with it," you say before blushing out of embarrassment.
  228. >"Why are we even doing this I already saw it," Eris says before crossing her arms and looking away, you giggle quietly, "No you didn't you threw your hands up in front of your face cause you're still a filly,"
  229. >"Buck you I'm older than you are!" your sister angrily whispers, "So what I'm considered a mare, your point?" you smile and Eris growls.
  230. >"Okay now that we're at an understanding," you say before grabbing hold of Anon's covers. "Let's see what's under here," with that you tear away Anon's covers to reveal his 'glory.'
  231. >Eris' face goes red and she covers her eyes, then she moves her fingers so she can peek, eventually she's able to actually look without being embarrassed.
  232. >You're a lot less reserved so viewing it isn't exactly an issue for you. "There, remember what I told you? You're going to have to see it tomorrow and the day after so get used to it. Last thing you need to do is make it awkward between you and Anon." you explain.
  233. >"Oh don't worry I don't think it can get more awkward than this," Eris says while staring at Anon's lower half.
  234. >The two of you ignore the un-natural lumps rising from his abdomen, those broken ribs will be fine in a day or two.
  235. >The two of you lean in and look over his lower half in greater detail, "Why's it so small?" Eris asks, you sigh and shake your head, "Don't you know anything? Stallions are always small down below, you gotta make it bigger." you explain.
  236. >"Well smart mare what do you do to make it bigger?" Eris asks before smirking at you, you put a hoof to your chin in thought, "I dunno," you answer before shrugging.
  237. >You have to say the two of you are really sheltered. Daddy Discord couldn't handle the thought of either of you finding somep0ny so he never explained this stuff to you.
  238. >Besides even if you did daddy would just vaporize them, he's very protective. The two of you float there in silence. "So, wanna boop it?" you ask your sister with a smile.
