>you are now Smidget, and things are different
>sure, your owner is still as affectionate and dutiful as ever
>your foals, since they grew up, wanted to move out and [NAME REDACTED] gave them to one of his more responsible friends
>this saddened you, but they were starting to strain your owners wallet
>however, Bit hasn't been the same since his little 'adventure'
>he was never a physically vital pony, but he hasn't even ventured out of the safe room to watch tv or sit in [NAME REDACTED]'s lap
>the neighbors brought Hurples over, and he just laid in his bundle looking daggers at him but not even TRYING to kill him
>frankly, it was beyond depressing
>resolve to find out what exactly happened to make him so listless
>you roll your smaller orange ball towards Bit as he lies limp in his bed
>the stubborn fluffy just rolls over
>you waddle over, "wha' happen't when you went ou'side?"
>he seems to ignores you, but you hear a soft murmur
>scooting closer you hear him quietly confessing his plan and how it went terribly awry, culminating in a man burning to death with his entire prison of torture puppets
>you plop down on your fluffy haunches

>you conk Bit on the head with your hoof
>he looks up, angry that you would strike him but still wallowing in self-loathing
>"So wha' if you kiwwed some neckbeawd? He was gonna hawm you, an' dat would make [NAME WEDACTED] unhappy. Pwioit... Pwiorota... HIS HAPPINESS COMES FUST!"
>Bit looks at you, and it does seem to hit home a little
>he still sighs and sinks back into his bed, "Dat's not aww, Smidget... he asked me to do it mowe. Humans he wants dead."
>this is different, but by how much?
>"So? [NAME WEDACTED] is stiww unhappy with dem awive."
>Bit is shaking a little, "But I don' wan' huwt nobody... weww, dat isn't retawded and fwuffy..."
>you slap him again, "Open youw eyes! I'fe been watchin' teevee, an' most humans I'fe seen are jus' as dumb as fwuffy ponies. Maybe nah as easy t'dwown, buh stiww weawwy dumb."
>he stares at you in disbelief, but you utter one word that sets that malign fire behind Bit's big green eyes
>"Weawity tewefision."
