- >You are Anon and you hate rainy days.
- >They reminded you of the adoption shelter you lived in as a kid.
- >The roofs would leak and and the hole filled walls did fuck all to stop the blistering wind.
- >The only warmth you had was huddling up to the few friends you made.
- >Even next to the fireplace, the warmth was no match.
- >While the other pony's praised the fire like it was the sun, you helped get firewood.
- >It wasn't all bad you remember a small orange pegasus with purple hair you grew fond of.
- >She was always fun to hang out with, particularly when she brought the other two ponies.
- >You can't recall their names.
- >You chuckled to your self a little too loudly and got some strange looks.
- >The looks never bothered you though, you were use to them being the only human in equestria.
- >They were always staring daggers at you as if you were some monster.
- >Like you were some bomb ready to explode
- >The looks never bothered you though, you were used to them being the only human in equestria.
- >You pick up the pace to your crappy little apartment in the run down part of manehattan.
- >The apartment itself wasn't that shitty but your landlord was an asshole, and you lacked the wherewithal to clean the place up.
- >You made sure you never had change on you due to the fact you lived by what you referred to as beggars boulevard.
- >It was a segment of the sidewalk where all the homeless ponies begged.
- >Its not that you wouldn't love to help.
- >You've been in their shoes but you barely made it with the money you earn and couldn't spare the change if you tried.
- >You almost made it through them all.
- >Dodging around the donation cups and the stubborn ones, But there at the end.
- >There was someone new, a unfamiliar mare facing away from the street.
- >You could only see a glimpse of her face.
- >She seemed too pretty to be homeless.
- >But she was definitely dirty enough.
- >Between the clumps of mud you could make out these beautiful strands of of purple, pink and..
- >What color even is that, its looks white but also tan or is it yellow..pale gold maybe.
- >She seemed disinterested in begging.
- >She didn't seem above it, just like it would abdicate her of her pride.
- >Must be new to being homeless.
- >The hunger eventually gets to you.
- >It eats away at you till you'd do anything for money.
- >What are you gonna do Anon leave this pretty mare out here with these broken stallions with no shame and nothing to lose.
- >Or give her somewhere warm to get back on her feet.
- >How would you do that you can barely support yourself.
- >better give it a shot
- >Your thoughts are interrupted by a sweet but soft spoken voice
- >"Umm.. excuse me mister b-but could you spare me s-so-some.."
- >Her voice trailed off as she stared back at her wall with sadness in her eyes.
- >Fuck man, you always thought of yourself as a tough guy.
- >But seeing a mare in a shit situation like this broke your heart
- "I'm really sorry but I don't have any money...I really am sorry."
- >"Oh..That's ok sir... s-sorry for wasting your time."
- >If she wasn't sad earlier she was closed to bawling now.
- >A few tears escaped her watery eyes as she walked shamefully back to her spot.
- >It felt like someone tore your heart in two.
- "Look I don't have much but i have a warm place just two buildings down."
- >Anon what are you doing you can’t support another body.
- >Hell you couldn't support a hamster if you wanted to.
- "If you don't want to stay, you could at least come with me till the rain stops."
- "Does that sound good?"
- >She nods her head and almost stumbles over.
- >You continue the walk to your house in silence as she quietly cries tears of joy.
- >You didn't mind, you liked the quiet.
- >You are Cadenza Mi Amore alicorn princess of love
- >Or you use to be.
- >You left that all behind after what your husband did to you.
- >The thought of it made your bruises ache and was too much to bear.
- >He was so peaceful before.
- >Now he was a....
- >You don’t know what to call him.
- >It was probably your fault, it had to have been.
- >Your growling stomach clears your head.
- >You hadn't eaten in a week.
- >The alley you lived in wasn't the best but at least you had some kind of shelter.
- >It was begging time since all the other homeless ponies went to the sidewalk with their cups and dishes
- >A practice you still hadn't yet mastered.
- >You were a princess dammit.
- >The word ‘were’ rings in your head
- >A weird creature that stood on two legs walked down the walkway you were on.
- >He passes everyone but you.
- >You're terrified as the strange creature looks you up and down.
- "Umm.. excuse me mister b-but could you spare me s-so-some..
- >You hated doing this but you needed to live.
- >Speak Cadence Speak!
- >"I'm really sorry but I don't have any money...I really am sorry."
- >Figures, no one in this town does.
- >The corners of your eyes start to burn and you feel a lump in your throat
- >You apologize for wasting his time
- >But then something miraculous happens.
- >He offers a place to at least dry off.
- >You accept the only act generosity you've been offered in a while.
- >You are Anon again
- >You fumble around in your raincoat for your keys.
- >Damn coat is too big but it was cheap.
- >You finally unlock the door and turn on the lights.
- "Sorry about the mess I don't exactly get visitors"
- >"Oh no it's fine. Who would I be to judge."
- >she looked a little sad at that remark but you decide to let it pass.
- "So what would you like first a shower or some food"
- >You could see her ears perk up at the mention of food.
- "Guess that answers that. Go ahead and sit anywhere I don't exactly have an eating area"
- >She sits on the couch without a word.
- >You like the peace and quiet but this is just awkward.
- >A few minutes of silence pass.
- >Alright Anon time to break the silence.
- "You got a name sweetheart?"
- >She shifts around before responding.
- >"You can..You can call me Cady."
- "That's a pretty name."
- >You mull the name over in your head
- >Cady
- > It really was a nice name.
- "Your food is done by the way."
- >She gets up and somberly walks over to the table.
- >You notice a small limp to her gait.
- >Better to not press the issue, everyone's got scars they don't want to reopen.
- >"What did you make mister...?"
- "Anon, but I'm no master chef so this is what I got."
- >You place down two plates of pancakes each stacked about four flapjacks high.
- >She seemed to inhale them they were gone so quick.
- >You weren't about to tell her to slow down. You used to do the same thing.
- "So it was that good huh? Maybe I am the next Bobby Filléy."
- >A little chuckle escapes and you get one in return.
- "Nice to see you're feeling better, would you like a shower."
- >She looks up and and you get a good look at those beautiful purple eyes.
- >You could get lost in those big eyes of hers.
- >They looked like they longed for love and carried their fair share of hurt.
- >"Yes please, Mr.Anon."
- "The shower is just down the hall, first door on the left."
- "Also just call me Anon I never cared for being called mister."
- >She heads off down the hall her limp almost giving you pain.
- "Hey mind if i take your jacket it looks like it needs to be washed.
- >"NO! I..um...sorry but let me get in the bathroom first, I'll put it outside the door."
- >You are Cadence.
- >And you almost blew your cover.
- >You take off your hoodie and observe you bruises and scars.
- >the ones around your ribs hurt the most.
- >You poke at one of the bruises and almost scream in pain but you hold it in.
- >The feathers on your wings are tattered and torn like they were caught in a tornado
- >Needless to say you weren't flying anytime soon.
- >It almost killed you to put weight on your back left leg.
- >You looked at the broken former princess in front of you and you were disgusted.
- >You hated your own pitiful reflection, look at you.
- >Once a beautiful princess in a land of love.
- >Now a lowly beggar taking a shower in a nice strangers house.
- >Oh, how far you've fallen.
- >You entered the warm shower and the tears fell but were lost among the warm stress melting torrent.
- >You finished your shower as quickly as your tender hide would let you.
- >You peaked out of the shower door to see Anon relaxing on the couch with your hoodie cleaned and folded.
- "Um, Anon excuse me, but could you toss me my hoodie."
- >Anon gets up and tosses it to you.
- >You quickly slip it on and move to the couch next to Anon.
- >He really is a great guy. He did take you in without a second thought.
- >He reminded you of your husband before he was a bastard.
- >you wince at the thought of him.
- >You are Anon
- >And you're sitting a foot away from a beautiful mare you know nothing about.
- >You didn't want to pry, you knew from experience that was the last thing a homeless person wants.
- >Cadence was the first to break the silence
- >"You're probably wondering why I'm out on the streets aren't you?"
- "Cady look you don't have to.."
- >"No..you took me in you should at least know why I was out there."
- >I won't tell you the whole story but..."
- >She trailed off again. Tears lined up to fall just waiting for that little push of emotion.
- >"I'm...running from my husband."
- >Her sentences were cut up into segments, like she was forcing herself to not cry.
- >"He used to be so nice and peaceful and then so...so suddenly he..he just."
- >And there it was, the little push she needed to let her little emotional storm cloud pour.
- >You did the only thing you knew how to do.
- >You pulled her fragile frame against you.
- >And you held her till the reservoir of tears ran empty.
- >When it was all over you didn't care about the stains on your shirt, you only care about the sleeping, hurt mare in your arms.
- >You pick her up noticing she squirmed as if in pain if you touched anywhere on her ribs.
- >And lay her on a pile of blankets whilst you pull out the bed in the couch.
- >You swear to Celestia you have no idea how anything short of celestia's magic itself could open that damned bed.
- >It finally comes out after fifteen minutes of sweat and silent cursing.
- >You pick up the sleeping mare and gently place her down on the only bed you own. Careful to not touch around her ribcage
- >You cover her in your softest blanket and leave for the other room.
- >Sleeping on the floor was your only option.
- >Not that you minded the floor you slept on it for most of your adolescent life.
- >And if you were lucky you would have some sweet dreams about your time at the orphanage.
- >Or any dreams at all
- >You wake up the next morning and you notice two things.
- >1.Your only good T-shirt is stained all to hell.
- >2.There are pancakes being made in your house.
- >Number two isn't that bad except you live alone.
- >You get up and head to the kitchen to see the story behind the heavenly smell that permeated in the air.
- >"Good morning Anon."
- >Oh yeah you pulled in a homeless unicorn last night.
- "Good morning Cady."
- "You didn't have to make breakfast I could have done it."
- >No Anon it's ok consider this my thank you before I....leave"
- >There goes the delicious pancake that was in your mouth.
- "Leaving, im sorry but why?"
- >"I feel I overstayed my welcome."
- "How do you figure that?"
- >You put a firm tone to your voice not realizing it.
- >"I figured that when I made you sleep on the floor, I apologize for that and I don't want to disturb you any farther."
- >She gets up and limps toward the door.
- >Something in you breaks and you feel something you haven't felt in a awhile.
- >It's almost a sense of abandonment.
- >It's something you haven't felt since your orphanage days.
- >As soon as you got close with any of them they were ripped away from you.
- >You were the last one at the orphanage no pony even considered you.
- >What is your major malfunction Anon.
- >Why the sudden explosion of emotion over a mare you barely knew.
- >But being alone.
- >It was a hell that ate away at you.
- >A hell that made it difficult to look at yourself in the mirror.
- >It made you WANT to disappear, become a relic of the past you wanted to forget.
- >When you're alone and unwanted, a darkness takes over you and makes you hate not just yourself but everyone around you.
- >You become someone else.
- >Something in you choked up.
- >You don't know what possessed you.
- "Cady..please."
- >What is this sudden urge of emotion.
- >You've only known her for 8 hours.
- >And you've never felt closer to anyone.
- "Cady, you can stay as long as you want."
- >"But Anon you can barely support yourself. How do you expect to care for you and me?"
- >"I would just be a burden to you...like I was to him."
- >Guess you were both a little more broken than you thought huh?
- "Cady just stay please, plus with your injuries more ponies in this town would take advantage of you rather than help you."
- >She closes the door and faces you.
- >"Fine but only till my injuries heal I don't want to stay longer than I'm welcome."
- >Anon what did you just do, you can barely support yourself and now you have a fully grown mare to take care of too.
- >You didn't care, all that mattered was she was safe with you and not taking her chances with the shady characters of this town.
- >It's been two weeks since you practically begged Cady to stay.
- >And in those two weeks you had more fun than you've had in your entire life.
- >You both were giggling like school fillies.
- >"Anon stop it."
- >She was reaching for her ribs and flinched in pain.
- "Oh, sorry Cady! Are you ok, should we go to the hospital?"
- >You ask with sincere concern.
- >"NO! No hospitals please."
- >You were worried about her.
- "Cady, we have to do something about those ribs."
- >"I'll be fine, I just could something to ease the pain."
- "They don't exactly sell vicodin over the counter around here."
- >"Then what am i supposed to do? I-I don't like hospitals..."
- >You didn't buy it.
- >If it was true, it had to be a pathological fear of doctors or something.
- "Alright, if you don't want to go to the hospital then there's only one option."
- >You get off the couch and grab a warm jacket.
- >"Anon, what are you-"
- "I'll be back soon don't open the door for anyone no matter who they say they are."
- >"Ok."
- >She breathed as she closed her eyes.
- >On that note you head out to see an old friend.
- >Some pony you wished you would never see again.
- >Your old dealer, his name was Crooked Smiles.
- >He had the ability to get everything you could possibly want.
- >He and you used to be close friends till you kicked your habit.
- >You never did the hard stuff, the crap that got you addicted in one sniff, puff or needle.
- >That wasn't you.
- >You head down an alleyway about two and a half blocks from your house.
- >It was Crook's territory and his usual sell spot.
- >He had a password he always used to know there was no cops.
- >Thankfully you remember it after all these years.
- "I sure wish the pharmacy was cheaper."
- >As expected, the ash grey unicorn pops up.
- >Ragged hair, a black beanie with a hole crudely cut out for a horn and a coat with a fur filled hood.
- >His eyes were sharp but dead, he was the same as always.
- >"Well well well, look who came crawling back."
- >He was circling you now, looking you up and down.
- >"You hear for the real stuff or are ya here for more of that pussy shit."
- "Crook just give me what I used to get and i'll be out of your hair."
- >"Oh Anon you think it's that simple."
- "I'm not here for your games, just give me the damned painkillers so i can leave."
- >"You see Anon.. You were my main customer and you leaving, left me in some, financial troubles."
- >You feel two presences enter the alley behind you.
- "I didn't come here looking for trouble."
- >"Yeah, maybe not."
- >One of the presences behind you says.
- >The other one speaks up too.
- >"But it sure as hell found you."
- >Crooked pulls out a switchblade with his magic.
- "Why are you doing this? We used to be bros."
- >"Used to be is the right way to say it."
- >A flash of silver passes your face and you feel a warm sensation on your cheek.
- >You move a hand up to your face and look at your hand.
- >blood.
- >"Your life ends here Anon. sorry it has to be like this. Bro."
- >The way he said bro so mockingly set you off.
- >you weren't normally violent but you had your limits.
- >And unfortunately for him death threats were one of them.
- >You lunge hands first for the raggedy unicorn, catching his throat.
- >A sharp pain buzzes in your shoulder.
- >He actually stabbed you.
- >The fucker actually stabbed you.
- >You grip tighter around his throat watching life leave him.
- >This warrants the other two unicorns to join in.
- >One short, fat and grey.
- >The other tall, lankey and orange.
- >While the grey one comes at you with a baseball bat, the other just his bare hooves.
- >There was a reason you didn't fight.
- >You learned pretty quick that you were stronger than them.
- >All it took was a grade school fight, and you accidentally sending some colt to the hospital.
- >After that you secluded yourself from the other colts and fillies.
- >You vowed to never let that side of you out again.
- >Because the truth was you loved to fight.
- >Almost nothing felt better.
- >The grey one swings yelling as loud as he can like he's trying to intimidate you.
- >You catch the bat but not without something in your hand cracking first.
- >You don't feel it though, you're too busy enjoying the rush of adrenaline.
- >The bat rips out of the magical aura with ease.
- >You savor the look in his eyes before being interrupted by the other one.
- >You bring the baseball bat down hard on his back leaving him in too much pain to continue.
- >You turn back to the grey one trying to sneak away and pull the knife out of your shoulder.
- "Where are you going fatty."
- >He tries to run but you catch him by his bobbed tail.
- >Sobbing now fearing for his life.
- >You go to pull him by his tail toward you but are stopped by a familiar voice.
- >"ANON!What are you doing?!"
- >The anger flows out of you quicker than it filled you.
- >You let go of the stallion’s tail and look up to see a pink mare in a hoodie.
- "Cady, i can explain.
- >"Go ahead I'm waiting."
- >She had a sternness to her voice.
- "I came here to get painkillers from my old dealer and he wasn't to happy with me quitting my old addiction."
- "I unintentionally made him lose profit and he wanted to kill me."
- "Go ahead and say it."
- >"Say what?"
- "Go ahead call me a monster, run away and scream... Just like they all did back at the shelter."
- >You choke up again and stare at the floor
- >"Anon I.."
- >You get up and rummage through Crooked's jacket and secure a small bottle painkillers.
- >You roll them to Cady and start to head back home.
- >To your surprise she follows you.
- "Why?"
- >"Why what?"
- "Why are you following me? You saw what I did. You're not scared?"
- >"While I may not want to approve of what you did...I can't believe you risked yourself for me and I don't know how to return the favor"
- "You can start be getting better with the help of those."
- >you point to the pocket she put the bottle in.
- >"Your hurt pretty bad too, Anon don't you think you should take some of these."
- "No..not again..never again."
- >When you finally get home you open the door and head straight for the shower.
- >As the adrenaline wears off the pain is almost unbearable but you grin and bear it.
- >Anything to keep that pretty mare smiling.
- >You finish up the shower and dress your wounds with gauze.
- >You begin to retire to bed or floor rather but you're stopped.
- >"No Anon you take the bed tonight I can survive a night on the floor."
- "It's fine I'll be..."
- >She pushes you backwards onto the bed.
- >"Anon just sleep on the bed I'll be fine i promise."
- >You would argue but everything hurt to much too even try.
- >You had possibly the best sleep you've ever had that night.
- >You even had a dream.
- >It was nothing special but you enjoyed every minute of it.
- >The next morning isn't as sweet as your dream.
- >You have almost no function in your right arm without extreme pain.
- >Even moving your fingers causes an inferno of pain to race up your arm.
- >"Good morning Anon."
- "Hey Cady. What day is it."
- >"Monday. Why?"
- "No no no, I have work today."
- "How am I supposed to work in this condition?"
- >"Calm down Anon, I'm sure you could call off if they saw your condition."
- "I don't have a phone so we'll have to walk down there."
- >She seemed nervous at the thought of leaving the house.
- "You can stay here if you want it's not that far anyway."
- >You grab the essentials, a coat, the keys, a warm hat and head out.
- >The newspaper printing press you worked at was only a mile away.
- >You normally could walk that in your sleep but your condition and the cold weather made it like climbing a mountain.
- >The walk took you 30 minutes longer than normal.
- >You walk up to the secretary.
- "Hey Ticket, is the boss in."
- >The short, slender mare looks up from her papers.
- >"Anonymous, are you ok? You look terrible."
- >Cute girl but she doesn't have a filter on her words.
- "Yeah I'm fine, but is the boss here?"
- >"Yes he's in his office."
- "Alright thanks."
- >You head towards the only pony you've ever hated.
- >You knock on a huge mahogany door with the name Quick Bits emblazoned on it in gold.
- >"Yes come in."
- >You open the door and are met with a cloud of cigar smoke.
- >In front of you sits a short, fat, tan colored stallion with a buzzed mane.
- >"You're late to work again Anonymous, I told you what would happen if you were late again."
- >The only things that stopped you from jumping over that table was your current condition and you needed the money.
- "Sir, I came to request the week off."
- >"For what reason?"
- >You take a deep breath trying to not knock him out with your good arm.
- "I was attacked in an alley sir. Can you not see my injuries?"
- >"Well whose fault is it for being in an alley in this part of town anyway?"
- >Your blood was boiling now.
- "Look here you.."
- >"No anonymous you look, I keep giving you chances and you always have excuses."
- >"Oh look at me I can't come in I'm sick, somepony broke into my house, I haven't eaten so I don't have the strength to work."
- >You were pissed.
- >You slam your good fist into the table.
- "You look here you piece of shit I've worked here for 8 years!"
- "I have came in here and worked while on death’s doorstep, I have even stayed through two pay cuts so you could buy that stupid ass wooden door!"
- "So just give me one week, one week to heal and I'll be back here working two times harder than I ever have."
- >He looks at you with his cold apathetic black eyes.
- >He puts out his cigar and puts his hooves together.
- >"Alright Anonymous you can have the week off."
- "Thank you."
- >"In fact you can have forever off, because you're fired."
- >Your heart drops.
- >You stand up and head for the door.
- >Even with your injuries the door comes off the hinges pretty easily.
- >You leave with your head in shame but not without swiping a newspaper first.
- >Cady is asleep on the couch when you return.
- >You huddle up to the heater in the corner trying to process everything that’s happened.
- >In three weeks you have had the best and and worst time of your life.
- >You decide to open the newspaper to take your mind off things.
- >The opening headline "Princess Of Crystal Kingdom Still Missing."
- >You skim over the story wondering how you lose a princess.
- >You get to the end and see a reward of six hundred thousand bits for any information leading to her rescue.
- >If only you could be so lucky.
- >A sudden noise snaps you out of your thoughts.
- >You look up and just see Cady moving around in her sleep.
- >You look back to your paper and see a picture of the princess.
- >That's interesting she looks alot like....
- >No, that's not possible.
- >There's no way.
- >But you have to be sure.
- >You slowly walk over to the peacefully sleeping mare.
- >You have to be sure, You can't have any doubts in your mind.
- >Your hand gently lifts the bottom of her jacket making sure you don't wake her.
- >Under her jacket is a mangled mess of feathers that must have once resembled wings.
- >What happened to her?
- >You remember what she said about her husband.
- >Was she lying?
- >No, she couldn't have been. you could see the pain in her lavender eyes.
- >You decide not to wake her, this was an issue you needed to address but it can wait.
- >A 30 minute walk later you come back to the house to see Cady looking through your bookshelf.
- >She looks back at you with a smile you could look at forever.
- >You could get lost in her gentle smile.
- >"Hello Anon, how did the talk with your boss go?"
- "I got fired."
- >You head to the fridge and look for anything to eat.
- >"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. what are you gonna do now?"
- "Don't know."
- >You hold back the venom in your voice.
- "Have you heard about that runaway princess?"
- >You caught her off guard.
- >"Uuh n-n-no I hadn't."
- "Yeah she was very pretty, she reminded me a lot of you."
- >"Oh...um."
- "Look Cady if there's anything you want to tell me."
- >"No there's not anything I would.."
- >You turn around to face her.
- "Cut it Cadence, I know who you are don't try to pull any shit with me."
- >You started walking toward her as she backed away.
- "You've caused me a lot of trouble."
- >She was up against the wall now.
- "So give me one reason not to drag you down to the police office and claim that reward."
- >She was curled up against the wall with you standing over her.
- >"I-I can't if that's...if that’s what you wish...then fine turn me in.
- "Before I do, take off the hoodie."
- >She reluctantly removes the dark colored hoodie and looks away from you.
- >You finally get to see the scars and bruises along her chest and down her sides.
- >Her wings are crooked and the feathers look like she was attacked with shears.
- >How could anypony do this?
- >Why would anypony do this?
- >You decide in that moment she was worth more to you than any reward.
- >You put a hand under her chin and move her face back toward yours.
- >You wipe the tears out of her eyes and choke back your own.
- "Cady what happened to you?"
- >"I've already told you, my husband."
- >The tears start back up from both of you this time.
- "Why?"
- >"I wish I could tell you, I wish I knew."
- >She was full on crying now and your tears matched hers.
- "You can put your jacket back on, I'm not letting any pony get their hooves on you if that’s what you have to go back to."
- >"Really? Thank you Anon thank you, thank you, thank you."
- >In seconds she was over top of you with her forelegs around your back.
- >You wrap your arms around her.
- >Her heart beat was a sweet melody you never wanted to leave your ears.
- >She was so beautiful, you never wanted your embrace to end.
- >She lets go of you and stares into your eyes
- >You stared back into hers.
- >And what happens next is a moment you never thought you were worth to experience.
- >She planted her lips on yours.
- >The moment lasted for only a few second but it felt like an eternity.
- >An eternity you never wanted to end but, you had bigger problems to deal with.
- >There's a knock at the door interrupting your few minutes of heaven.
- >You get up and look through the view hole in the door.
- >Shit, two royal guards.
- >You motion Cady to move to the next room.
- >You open the door.
- "Hello gentlecolts, is there something I can help you with?"
- >The taller of the two moves forward.
- >"Yes, we have received reports of a mare living here that fits the description of the princess."
- "Wait, you two think the princess is here?"
- "Why would she come to the worst part of Manehattan and live with a dirt poor human."
- >You knew the last part was true but damn it hurt to say out loud.
- >"I know it's a little far fetched, but as the royal guard of the Crystal Empire we must check all leads."
- >The smaller one steps forward.
- >"Look, just humor us and let us poke around."
- >"And don't worry we'll only look for the princess anything else will be dismissed."
- "Can't you guys just trust me when I say there’s no princess?"
- "There's barely enough room for me in this house, you honest think i could fit an adult mare in here too."
- >"Sir just let us in."
- "Why I've already told you there's no room in this house for her."
- >"Step aside or we'll use force."
- >They're slightly bigger than most stallions but you figure you could take them if you had too.
- >"One last chance to move or we'll move you."
- >Dammit you can't stall them anymore.
- >Like an idiot you throw the first punch.
- >The smaller one drops like a sack of rocks.
- >The larger on knock you flat on your ass.
- >"You just had to do this the hard way"
- >You look back to see Cady peeking out from the corner.
- >There's only one thing left to do.
- "CADY RUN!"
- >She takes off toward the door.
- >The stallion on top of you stomps down hard.
- >You lose your breath and your vision darkens.
- >The last thing you see is her being tackled to the ground before your vision completely leaves you.
- >From the hazy black you hear a voice crying out.
- >"Anon why, why didn't you save me?"
- >Your eyes open to see Cadence.
- >But something's wrong.
- >She has deep gashes around her neck and chest.
- >"I trusted you and failed me."
- >Your mouth was open but no words would come out.
- >"You let me suffer Anon."
- >No, no it wasn't true.
- >You did everything you could for her.
- >You tried harder to help her than you've ever tried to help yourself.
- >"Now I'm going to show you the pain I've been through because of you.
- >She was walking toward you with a knife.
- >You tried to run but you were strapped down and unable to scream.
- >The knife was coming straight for you and all you could do was count down the seconds.
- >Five
- >Four
- >Three
- >Two
- >One
- >You spring awake.
- >Your ribs were killing you and she was gone.
- >In and out of your life just like that.
- >You get up and look for you wallet.
- >You grab a few bits and head to the local market.
- >Normally long walks were nice.
- >They cleared your head but not this time.
- >You head to the back of the store and grab a pack of cigarettes.
- >You quit these things long ago but you needed something, anything to take off the edge.
- >When you get home you light your cigarette and sit in the same spot the guard the guard pinned you on earlier.
- >You didn't move, you didn't think.
- >Both hurt to much to try.
- >So you sat.
- >You sat there till the cigarette was nothing more than a butt and the morning sun came through your windows.
- >There's a knock at the door.
- >Great they probably came back for you.
- >You get up and head to the door anyway.
- >You look down to see you landlord.
- >"Where's the rent Anon?"
- >You flick the cigarette butt off into the distance behind him.
- "Don't have it."
- >"What do you mean don't have it?
- >"I've told you again and again what would happen if you didn't have your rent."
- "Yeah I don't care I've already lost everything, my job and the only pony that treated me like I'm one of you."
- "So go ahead do your worst it's not like anypony will miss me when I'm gone."
- >"Damn right they won't."
- >Not the right thing to say to you right now.
- >You grab his mane and bring him up to eye level.
- "You don't know when to quit do you, haven't you heard of the saying don't mess with a pony who has nothing to lose."
- >You can see the fear on his face.
- >"O-ok y-you can have a few more days."
- >You let him go, he drops to the floor faster than his hooves can catch him.
- >You slam the door shut and return to your spot.
- >As you're sitting there letting your universe crash around you, you get an idea.
- >Maybe you could get help in your home town.
- >You grab a jacket, a few bits and head for the train station.
- >The walk there let you think.
- >Why go through all this trouble?
- >Is it for love?
- >Or the want to be important for once in your life?
- >Was this for her or you?
- >So many questions but like all great mysteries there was no answer.
- >Only time would erode the answers hidden in the maze you call a brain.
- >You arrive in time for the last train.
- >You take a deep breath and buy a ticket.
- >A ticket back to your hometown ponyville.
- >The train ride was quiet.
- >You were the only one in the train car.
- >The train ride is 12 hours so you decide to get a good nap.
- >No dreams as usual.
- >Good to know something in your life is static.
- >The screeching of the brakes pulls you out of your slumber.
- >The doors open and flood you with memories.
- >You drink in the busy ponies around you.
- >It's funny to see everypony so grown up.
- >You head to the only food spot you remember.
- >Sugar cube corner.
- >You wonder if that cute but annoying pink mare worked there still.
- >"ANONYMOUS!"
- >Thats weird you didn't think anyone remembered you.
- >The pink blob removing you from your chair snaps you out of any thoughts you were having.
- >Ow.
- >Your vision returns from the blurry mess it was after hitting your head
- >Standing above you is a pretty pink mare with a mess of a mane.
- "Pinkie!"
- >"Hey Nonnie how have you been?
- >Huh, she really mellowed out in the 8 years you were gone.
- >By now she would have talked both of your ears off.
- "I've seen better days."
- >You stand up dusting yourself off.
- >"I'm sorry to hear that Anon, but what brings you back to ponyville?"
- "I need some help."
- >"Help with what?"
- "I don't think we should talk about it out here."
- >"Okie dokie lokie, We can head upstairs.
- "That would be nice."
- >The two of you head upstairs to pinkie's bedroom.
- >Never been in a girls room before.
- >You for some reason feel nervous but pass over the thought.
- >"So what did you want to talk about."
- "I um.. how do i put this."
- "I don't think you'll believe me but... when princess Cadence ran away, she ran to Manehattan."
- "She was outside begging by my house and I couldn't stand to see a mare so down on her luck so I invited her in."
- "She was all battered and bruised, and when I asked her what happened she said her husband did it."
- "I took care of her for a few weeks and lost my job."
- "Then yesterday two royal guards came to my house looking for her, I told her to hide till they left."
- "They decided to force their way in and take her by force, I was knocked out and she was dragged away yelling for me to save her."
- >The pink mare sat there digesting everything that was said.
- >"You promise you're telling the truth."
- "Pinkie promise."
- >Okie dokie lokie, lets go see Twilight.
- >She got up and practically dragged you to the giant castle in the middle of town.
- "Wait we're going in there?"
- >"Yes silly billy, where else would we go to see princess Twilight."
- >The giant doors open and Pinkie takes a seat on a throne next to six near identical ones.
- >Each one with a marking on top, Pinkie's matched her cutie mark so you imagined the rest did too.
- >She yells down a corridor marked with the word research.
- >Even after all these years she can't sit still.
- >After a few minutes a purple mare similar to Cadence appears.
- >Wings and a horn must mean royalty.
- >You stash that nugget of info for later use.
- >TS: "Pinkie you know I'm doing important research what could you possibly need?"
- >PP: "Anon has some important information that you should hear."
- >You bow to not be rude in the face of royalty.
- >TS: "Mr.Anon was it, you don't need to bow we're all friends in here."
- >TS: "Now what's this important info you have."
- >You tell her everything from beginning to end.
- >TS: "That's impossible, my brother wouldn't hurt her, and plus she would have come to me first if anything was happening."
- >TS: "Pinkie is this some sort of prank because I don't find this humorous."
- >PP: "No twilight I would never."
- >TS: "Excuse me Mr.Anon but I think you should leave. I Don't know what you're trying to pull but my brother and sister in law love each other more than anypony else."
- "With all do respect princess if you don't believe me fine but I have risked life, limb, and my own job for her."
- "So just humor me and check in on her, and if you still don't believe me, I'll rescue her my damned self."
- >She stares into you with her piercing purple eyes.
- >TS: "You have wasted my time and patience, Spike see him out.
- >A purple and green dragon about your size walks out from a hallway.
- "Yeah, yeah I get it I'm leaving."
- >You leave the castle cursing her under your breath.
- >What now the only hope you had of help just escorted you out of her castle.
- >This wasn't a job you could face alone.
- >"Anon,"
- >You turn around to the pink mare behind you.
- "Hey Pinkie."
- >You give a loud sigh.
- "What's up."
- >"Anon, sorry about twilight."
- "It's fine."
- >It wasn't, that pretty mare you promised to save was hundreds of miles away.
- >And there's nothing you could do.
- >The tears started back up.
- >You didn't care who saw.
- >No way to save her.
- >You are utterly powerless without help.
- >Pinkie wrapped her hooves around you.
- >That only made the tears come harder.
- >Why, Why didn't you think this through.
- >What visions of grandeur let you think you could save her.
- >Pinkie pulls you out of the hug.
- >"Don't worry about her Anon, she can be a bit hard headed."
- >"If it makes you feel any better I believe you."
- >She wipes the tears out of your eyes.
- "Wait you do?"
- >"Well of course silly billy, no one would get this worked up over a lie."
- "Thanks Pinkie for everything."
- "From all the smiles you brought me at the shelter, to you telling me to keep my head up when I left Ponyville."
- >She giggles her signature giggle.
- >"No problem Anon, It's what I do."
- >You give her one more hug and stand up.
- >"Where are you going Anon?"
- "To find away to save my damsel in distress."
- >You are Cadence.
- >And you could only pray he does kill you.
- >You think back to your few weeks with Anon.
- >He was so kind when no one else was.
- >He reminded you of how Shining once was.
- >And now he was probably gonna pay for your mistake.
- >You force back the tears.
- >You can't cry not now.
- >Anon wouldn't have let you cry.
- >He would've keep your chin up.
- >So you look up with a smile not for yourself but for him.
- >The crystal tower you once called home now loomed over your chariot, eclipsing the sun.
- >The chariot pulls into the loading bay and stops.
- >The door creaks open to him.
- >The reason you left in the first place.
- >Shining Armor.
- >"Hello love."
- >You keep your eyes off of him awaiting your punishment.
- >"So how was your...little vacation?"
- >You stay quiet, careful not to anger him.
- >"That good huh? Well you don't know the hell you've caused me."
- >"Do you know what it's like trying to keep the peasants calm while a princess is missing?"
- >He stepped into your field of view.
- >"No of course you can't you were to busy out partying in manehattan."
- >"Oh and what about that precious human you were with?
- >"What was his name? Ah yes Anonymous."
- >Your eyes widen and your mind races. How did he know?
- >"Ah...I see that name is familiar to you. Well he'll be punished soon enough, but first.
- >He waves over two guards.
- >"Take her to the special room I had prepared earlier."
- >The guards usher you to a large room in the underground parts of the castle where criminals were normally kept.
- >You come up to a large cell with no padding or commodities.
- >The guards push you in, lock the door and leave without a word.
- >You are alone again, no Anon to save you this time.
- >At least you have time to think.
- >How did you come to this, once princess now a prisoner in a place you called home.
- >A faint sound of hoof steps wakes you from your thoughts.
- >A shape resembling a tall charcoal colored mare with a dark cerulean mane fills your vision.
- >You are Anon.
- >And you are determined to save your mare.
- >But first you need some support or equipment.
- >But it's not like you could go around asking people if they want to save the princes of the Crystal Empire.
- "Hey, Pinkie would you be willing to help me save Cadence?"
- >"Sorry Nonnie but I’m not a fighter, you know that."
- >"I wish I could help though."
- "I understand, thanks again Pinkie."
- >You pat pinkie on the head and look for somewhere to stay for the night.
- >You can't save a princess while tired.
- >You stumble around ponyville for about an hour trying to remember your way around.
- >A voice calls out from behind you.
- >"Hey yo Anon, is that you."
- >Another familiar voice surprises you.
- >You could have swore no one would have remembered you but you turn around anyway.
- >You turn around and are met by a tall slender mare with an orange coat and a short purple mane.
- "Scoots?"
- >She lets out a small giggle.
- >"Good, I thought you had forgotten me.
- >She had a hint of bravado to her voice.
- >One that reminded you of a certain blue pegasus she hung out with back in the day.
- "How could forget about you, one of my only childhood friends.
- >"Yeah, so what brings you back to ponyville?
- "Well long story short somepony important to me was um..taken away from me.
- >"Was she your special somepony or something?"
- "Yeah you could say that."
- >There's a short awkward pause between you both.
- "So..um do you know if there's any place I can stay for the night?"
- >"Sorry there's no hotels or anything around but you could come crash at my place for a little bit."
- "Really? Like no joke?"
- >"Yeah of course, we've got some catching up to do."
- >You head back toward her house.
- >The walk back was awkwardly quiet so you decided to break the silence.
- "So back to the subject of special someponies did you ever find one."
- >She looks back her face was now a rosy shade of red.
- >"Uuuh...yeah..uuum."
- "If you don't want to talk about it that's fine."
- >"No no no it's fine. My uhh..special somepony is."
- >She unlocks the door to her house and you are met with a familiar face.
- >"Howdy scoots and..."
- >You look into the house to see who the familiar voice is.
- >It's another mare slightly shorter than Scootaloo but with more toned muscle.
- >She has a strawberry red mane, yellow coat and a big pink bow in her tail.
- >You try but you can remember her name to save your life.
- >Something to do with apples.
- >"Anon is that you?"
- "Yeah hey Apple..."
- >AB:"Bloom, it's Apple Bloom.
- >AB: "Don't cha remember me?"
- "Yeah I do, sorry it's been a long day.
- "Hey Scoots can we talk for a sec?"
- >You motion to the other room.
- "Yeah sure, excuse us AB.
- >The two of you walk to the next room and close the door.
- "Is she what I think she is."
- >"Hehe..um yeah."
- "Huh really I never took you for the um..how do I put this?"
- >"Yeah I get what you're saying."
- "Not that I care, glad you found somepony but how long have you two, y'know."
- >"I'll just say there was a reason I never returned your looks at the shelter."
- >The two of you leave the room and return to the living room.
- >Scoots goes and sits at the table and you take a seat next to Apple Bloom on the couch.
- "So, I remember there being three of you. If i may, what happened to the last one?
- >AB: "She's upstairs bucking her coltfriend."
- >S: "Bloom!"
- >AB: "What? She is and y’all know it."
- >Yeesh it's like you stepped in a landmine.
- >A few minutes later you see a white mare with a pink and purple mane stumble down the steps with a larger grey stallion.
- >They walk to the front door kiss and he leaves.
- >She turns around and looks straight at you.
- >SB: "Umm Bloom, Scoots you see him too right.
- >S: "Yes Sweetie it's Anon."
- >And off the couch you go.
- >What's with mares and tackle hugs in this town.
- "Hey Sweetie..It's nice to see you again too."
- >S: "So Nonnie, let's go to my room I've got something to show you."
- >AB and S: "Sweetie!"
- >SB: "What?"
- S: "Really? Your coltfriend left not even 5 minutes ago and you're already all over Anon."
- "Hate to interrupt, but can I get up now?
- >Sweetie Belle stands back up and takes her place on a bean bag in the corner
- >You all sat quiet and watched tv for about an hour.
- >Why did you never get one of these.
- >TV was awesome it was like reading but without the reading.
- >After some sappy movie where some mare was looking for her long lost sister the three of you dried your tears and got ready for bed.
- "So where should I sleep? I can just take the couch."
- >AB: "Now Anon you are a guest, you can take my room."
- "No it's fine, besides where would you sleep?
- >AB: "Ah can sleep with Scoots, I'm sure she wouldn't mind"
- >You look over to see Scootaloo blushing brighter AB's hair.
- >S: "Yeah she can sleep with me it's fine."
- >AB: "It's upstairs the last room on the right."
- "Night girls."
- >They all say good night in unison in return.
- >You walk over and put you head on the large white pillow.
- >And before you can think you're out like a light.
- >You wake up in a room different to the one you fell asleep in.
- >It's a some what plain room, white sheets, a big brown armoire and a dresser with a huge mirror.
- >On the dresser is assorted personal hygiene items some for colts and others for mares.
- >You get up and head down stairs to the smell of pancakes.
- >In the kitchen is a pink mare with a purple, white and pale gold mane.
- >Outside the window playing in was a small filly and colt.
- >The filly was a light pink with a tousled white mane and the colt had a light green coat.
- >You sit down at the table and the mare brings over a big stack of pancakes.
- >She sits them down and you get a good look at her face.
- >No
- >Why?
- >The world around you turns shatters leaving only you and her.
- >The tall pink mare gives you an huge smile stretched over bruised and bloodied features.
- >"I'm sorry Nonnie."
- "No it's..."
- >"I'm sorry Nonnie."
- "Stop it."
- >"I'm sorry Nonnie."
- >You break and the tears flow.
- "I'm sorry Cady, I really am."
- >"I'm sorry Nonnie."
- "Why wont you stop?"
- >"I'm sorry."
- >You scream.
- >Something, anything to stop this.
- >You wake up with a start to the feel of a hoof on your shoulder.
- >You observe the room around you and spot three sets of eyes.
- >You words are choked but you get them out.
- "I'm..I'm sorry girls."
- >AB:"Must've been a hell of a dream to make you scream like that."
- >SB:"Yeah you've never been one to do something like this."
- "Sorry girls, I'm fine.
- >you wipe the tears from your eyes and choke back new ones.
- >S:" Are you sure Anon?
- >The flood gates are let loose.
- "N-no, no I'm not.
- >Scootaloo climbs onto the bed and puts your head onto her chest.
- >She was so soft and warm.
- >You clung onto her like a scared filly clings to its mother.
- >You are Scootaloo.
- >And right now a dear friend crying into your chest.
- >You wave Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle out of the room.
- "Hey Nonnie."
- >You spoke quietly and calmly like Dashie used to when the world was too much for you.
- >He looks up to you with tear stains down his face.
- >You take a wing and carefully wipe the tears from his eyes.
- "What happened to you?"
- >"I don't want to talk about it."
- "Well you're gonna have to."
- >"Why...why does it matter?"
- "Because I care about you."
- >"Scoots it's just.."
- "I just want to know so I can help you, ok."
- >Anon sits up and wipes his eyes.
- >Both of you sit on the bed in silence for a moment.
- "I'm not going to sit by and let whatever this problem is torture you."
- >"I'm sorry Scoots."
- "It's ok, so what's all this about?"
- >He draws in a long breath.
- >"I don't think you'll believe me, even Twilight didn't believe me."
- "Try me."
- >He tells you this long fantastical story about how he found this mare who turned out to be princess Cadence.
- >He told you how he took her into his house and cared for her and how she was taken back by the guard.
- >You take a moment to soak in everything you've been told.
- >You didn't know whether or not to believe him at first."
- >But Anon wasn't the lying type.
- >He never had a reason to, so why would he start now.
- "Alright I believe you."
- >"Really, thank you, but.. I-I don’t know what to do. I feel so helpless."
- "Can we talk about this in the morning? I think the girls should hear this too."
- >"Alright sure, thanks again Scoots."
- >You get up and head for the door but are stopped by Anons voice.
- >"Hey um.. look, I know that this is a weird request but can you stay in here with me?"
- >It finally happened, something you've wanted to hear since you were a filly.
- >If only it was over better circumstances.
- >You walk back over and climb into the bed.
- >You scoot close and put a wing over him to keep both of you warm.
- >You are both out in seconds.
- >You are Anon.
- >And you slept like a rock.
- >No more dreams but you're starting to think life's better that way.
- >Scootaloo was so warm and soft.
- >You wished you would never have to get up but you had important things to do.
- >You reach over and rub scootaloo's cheek.
- "Hey Scoots, wake up we got stuff to do."
- >You talk to her through your gruff morning voice.
- >"Hey Nonnie."
- >This small interaction with Scootaloo spark a small fire in you.
- >You hoped.
- >No, knew one day you would have more of these mornings but with Cadence instead.
- >You get up and head downstairs to see Sweetie in the kitchen and AB on the couch.
- >SB:"Hey Anon, sleep well?"
- >AB: "Where's Scoots?"
- "She's still getting up, So what's for breakfast?"
- >She turns around holding a stack of golden, mouth watering pancakes.
- >She places them on the table and goes over to the stairs.
- >SB:"Scoots get your flank down here your boyfriend is drooling on the table!"
- >You didn't notice at first but you were and wipe your mouth.
- >S:"Shut up Sweetie I'm coming, just give me a minute!"
- >She finally comes down and you all eat.
- "So..Um I need to talk to you girls about something."
- >They all look over and you tell them the same long story you've been telling.
- >The girls all sit back and debate the information.
- >AB:"Sounds like a load of horse manure, but ah believe you."
- >SB:"If little miss honesty junior believes you then I guess I do too."
- >You look over to Scootaloo.
- >S:"You already know my stance on this."
- "Thanks but I don't know what to do, How am I supposed to save her.
- >Scootaloo looks to Apple Bloom and then Sweetie.
- >S:" Alright girls, we already have our cutie marks but lets do this one more time."
- >What happened next turned that fire you felt earlier turn into an inferno.
- >And in unison they all shout out.
- >"Cutie mark damsel rescue squad!!!"
- >You all sit back down with a giggle.
- "Thanks girls this means a lot, but how are we gonna do this?"
- >Sweetie gets up and grabs a sweater.
- >SB:"Come on Anon I got tons of favors to call in, I'll get you help in no time."
- >You grab your jacket and head out to town.
- >You are Cadence.
- >The creature in front of you steps out of the shadows.
- >It's clear that she isn't the every\day mare.
- >She has a crooked horn, insect wings, a crown, and her legs are full of holes.
- "Chrysalis!"
- >"That's Queen Chrysalis to you."
- "How did you find your way back in? We blasted you out of the kingdom.
- >C:"Ah yes the Oh So powerful love spell you tried to pull."
- >"Well you see you did blast most most of us out but 'most' is not all."
- >You see the light from an opening door in the background.
- >The light disappears and is replaced with Shining flanked by two guards.
- >C:"Ah hello beautiful."
- >He rubs his muzzle against Chrysalis' neck.
- "Shining, Shinning snap out of this you're under her control!"
- >SA:"Oh no I'm not under anyponies control."
- "Then why are you doing this, guards why don't stop him."
- "As Princess I command you detain both of them."
- >The guards are replaced with bright flashes of green flame.
- >When the flames died down, where two guards once stood there were now two small changelings.
- "Shining why? I thought you loved me, I thought our love was eternal."
- >SA:"Yes well Chryssi here offered me a much better package."
- "How? I offered you my love, me and my kingdom."
- >SA:"Well I get to keep all that and I can now have any mare of my choosing."
- "I thought you loved me, I gave you my everything!"
- >The tears in your eyes were more full of fury than sadness.
- "What would Twilight think?"
- >You should have picked your words more carefully.
- >You feel your body hit the far side of the cell.
- >SA:"You leave her out of this. None of this is her concern."
- >Your body hurt like hell but you had no reason to stop him.
- >Maybe if you made him angry enough he would end it all.
- >You had nothing to lose, so you continue.
- "Imagine how Twily would react to finding out her noble brother is nothing more than an abusive tail chaser."
- SA:"I told you to shut up."
- >His breath was shaky and uneven.
- "What's wrong Shining, you can dish it, so why can't you take it?"
- >He unlocks the cell and opens the door.
- "Come on Shining, go ahead end it, end it all right here."
- >You puff out your chest and prepare for the worst.
- >For a moment you really did want him to end it, the pain and the constant worrying.
- >And then you remember Anon.
- >What would Anon do without you.
- >He fought so hard for you and you would let it end like this.
- >No, you wouldn't you couldn't.
- >It's time to stand your ground and fight as hard for yourself as he did for you.
- >You close your eyes, muster all the strength you could into one hoof and propel it forward.
- >It connects with a loud crack.
- >You open one eye to see the great Shining Armor sitting flat on his ass.
- >He's beyond fury now.
- SA:"I'm going to kill you!"
- >You brace for impact but it never comes.
- >You look up to see Shining engulfed in a green glow.
- >C:"Now now darling you can't kill her. Her magic is far too valuable to me and my army."
- >C:"You can always come back and have fun with her later."
- >A guard comes and whispers into Shinings ear.
- >SA:"Ah Chrysalis the reporters are here, lets go put on a show."
- >Chrysalis flashes green and takes a bruised version of your likeness.
- >They both leave blowing out the last torch in the cell room leaving you in complete darkness.
- >You are Anon.
- >And the cold air did you some good.
- >Walking around and seeing the old sights really cleared your head.
- >SB:"Anooon helloooo."
- >Sweeties voice snaps you out of your trance.
- >SB:"Did you get lost in that big head of yours."
- "Oh hehe, yeah sorry."
- >SB:"What were you staring at anyway."
- >You look back up at the old decrepit school building.
- >It looked like a demolition team started on it but quit half way through.
- "Hey Sweetie."
- >SB:"What now?"
- "When did they close down the our school?"
- >SB:"The day after you left some colts set it on fire."
- "I was only gone for a day and the town fell apart that quick."
- >SB:"Cute but no, come on we have stuff to do."
- >You and Sweetie walk around town visiting stalls and vendors for about twenty minutes.
- >It's clear either she forgot why you were out here or she had her own agenda.
- "So..um how exactly are fruits and vegetables help me save a princess?"
- >SB:"Just hold on, you're not the only one with a huge shopping list."
- >You crouch down to eye level with her.
- "Alright look, I understand that you need food and stuff but don't you think a princess is just a tiny bit more important than having an empty stomach?"
- >SB:"If you would just be patient you would know these ingredients aren't for food."
- "What the hell else could they be for?"
- >SB:"Well do you remember Zecora?"
- "Oh yeah the crazy old zebra right?"
- >SB:"Yeah well back when CMC was just the three of us we tried everything, including potion making."
- "So, what kind of potion will it be?"
- >SB:"You'd have to ask Apple Bloom that, she just asked for the ingredients."
- "Wait, how does Bloom know how to make potions?"
- >SB:"Yeah it's kinda in her cutie mark."
- "Oh yeah, you girls finally got those."
- "So what are they?"
- >She rolls her eyes
- >SB:"I got mine first in fashion like my big sis, next Bloom got hers in botany and chemistry."
- "How about Scoots, its probably in showing off or doing tricks or something, right?"
- >SB:"Actually she was the last to get one and she only got it two years ago."
- "Oh, what's it in that she got it so late."
- >SB:"Well since she was still a blank flank she started to work at the new orphanage since she understood how they felt."
- "So what is she a psychiatrist or something?"
- >SB:"Not quite but that's pretty close."
- "Huh, did she ever learn to fly?"
- >SB:"Nope, we found out she had some sort of rare deformity where the muscles in her wings never formed correctly so she couldn't."
- >You take a seat in the grass.
- "When did you find all this out?"
- >SB:"The same month you left."
- "I'm guessing she didn't take that news too well, huh?"
