The bedroom door opened, loud footsteps resonated as the orderly entered, going toward the figure in the room. A small tray was placed onto the table, with the figure not even acknowledging it. Moments passed, but no movement or sound was made.

Eventually, however, the woman on the chair glanced at it. Despite that her magenta eyes seemed to be staring at nothing. She sighed, looking away from it once more.

“No thanks,” she said in a listless tone, “Not hungry.”

“You know the rules, Ms Dash,” the orderly said flatly, “If you continue to refuse your meals, the doctors will force feed you.”

“You try feeling hungry and keeping food down when you’re stuck in this dump,” she said with contempt, looking down at the floor now, “Just leave it. I’ll dig at it when I want to.”

Seeing no reason to argue, the orderly left, closing and locking Dash’s bedroom door and leaving her with her food.

‘Aw, What’s-a matter Dashie?’

“Fuck off,” Dash muttered, as if someone else was in the room.

‘...What did I do?’

Sighing, she rubbed the bridge of her nose, “Sorry, Perv. It’s not you. I’m just completely fucked right now. Sure you must’ve noticed, huh.”

‘Aw, come on. It could be worse. You could have been in prison. Here, you’ll be out in… what, a year tops?’

“Unlikely,” Dash said bitterly, “At the rate they’ve got me going, I’ll be here until I’m old and don’t remember why I was committed in the first place.”

‘Yeah, that’s what every mental patient says. You can just smile and nod your way through this place.’

“How the fuck can I? My own best friend pretty much gets trigger-happy to commit and my own freaking ex doesn’t even stop her! You’d think she’d say ‘No, don’t take her away from me!’ and fight tooth and nail! But no, she lets me get committed! No wonder, she thinks I’m a monster now. Just like everyone else!” She said angrily, punching the wall, but not breaking it this time, only bruising her hand a little.

‘Hey, Fluttershy came back to see you, didn’t she? And maybe you were too busy screaming like a wild boar to see it, but Scootaloo was begging them not to take you when they came for you.’

“Of course she did. I’m kinda her mom. After what I did to her, why the hell would she care,” Dash uttered, sighing heavily and hunching over, “She’s better off without me.”

‘...Am I missing something here? You two were adorable snuggle-bunnies. What the hell happened?’

Letting out a sniffle, Dash shook her head, “Don’t pretend you don’t know, of course you saw what happened!”

‘No seriously. I’m drawing a blank here. And I don’t like it.’ Pervy’s voice sounded like it was getting more worried at the idea of missing thoughts.

“It’s no picnic for me either, you know. I just about lost everything! My life, my friends, my pride, my daughter, and…” Dash covered her eyes with one hand, unable to even say it, “Fuck it, I just lost everything.”

Rainbow felt a pair of arms wrap around her shoulders and squeeze her tightly.

‘Hey, I’m not that good at this whole comforting thing but… this helps you guys, right?’

“What do you mean by that?” She wanted to know, her voice breaking slightly.

Pervy nuzzled the back of Rainbow’s head, squeezing tighter, ‘You know, hugging someone when they’re upset?’

Sighing a little, Rainbow nodded, “Yeah… pretty much. Not the same, but it helps, I guess.”

‘Well I’d have just gotten Rainbowshy, but… well I know you really like me so...’ Pervy came around and embraced the distraught woman.

“Are you kidding, I’d have ended up fucking that over,” Rainbow admitted in a broken manner, “Sent her running away in tears because she reminds me way too much of her. Damn it, now I’m getting emotional! I don’t miss her, no! I hate her… she did this to me, she put me in here! I can’t let her get to me anymore!”

Pervy didn’t say anything. She wasn’t an expert on these things. If she were, she’d have had a different name. Instead she just hugged her tighter, stroking her lovely hair. After a few moments, Rainbow relaxed a little, clinging to her tightly.

“Damn it… Why’d this happen… Why am I even here…” Rainbow uttered, sniffling loudly, “I just want to wake up from this damn nightmare already. I want to go home… I want to wake up, see Fluttershy there next to me, hear Scootaloo knocking on our door to tell us to get up… Sit at the table with them, laugh and tell stupid jokes, eat some eggs and toast, watch Scoot leave for school, get up and go to work… Then come back and see my family waiting there, all glad I’m back. Damn it, being here made me too damn sappy! I want to get out!”

Pervy kissed her cheek, trying her best to hold the poor girl up, “Hey… that’ll all come back when you get out, right? We can go home after all this.”

“I’d sure like to believe that. But they hate me, that’s why I’m here. They all think I’m a monster who should be locked away! If I do get out, they’ll avoid me like the plague,” Rainbow muttered sadly, barely looking at her, “Perv, I just don’t know what the fuck to do anymore. I want to get the fuck out of this freaking place. I feel like I’m in freaking Shawshank for crying out loud. But then if I’m out, I’ll be a bigger outcast than I was before! Fuck all this shit, I’m screwed. Now you guys are the only ones I have left. You’re all I have left anymore.”

Pervy wanted to tell her otherwise, but unfortunately she didn’t know. She was just as, if not more, in the dark than Rainbow was, “I don’t believe that. And… well, if it is true, then… you’ll always have me. I’m not going anywhere, Dashie.”

“Thanks, Perv…” She managed, wiping her eyes, “Damn it… I just, Perv, you gotta be honest with me here. Okay, I know Honesty’s not exactly around here, but seriously. I let her get away, didn’t I?”

Pervy shook her head, “No. I don’t think so. If you did, she’d have just sent you to jail. Not to a hospital. I think she wants you to get better.”

“Why do I have so much freaking trouble believing it?” Rainbow stood, wiping her eyes, “Fuck, I don’t know anything anymore! For all I know, up is down, right is left, blue is red, and everything’s just dancing around on opposite day.”

“I don’t know,” Pervy replied, letting go of her as she stood up, wringing her hands, “This is the first time I’ve ever talked about this stuff. I’m just the slutty one… I’m not good at all this complicated relationship stuff…”

In spite of her words, Rainbow managed a tiny smile, “Hey, I sure as hell am not… I don’t know, put some relationship guy’s expert here or something. I guess I just gotta have someone to listen or something. At least I still got you, Perv… I’m gonna need it. All those women here, jeez, no fucking thanks. Who knows what they’ve got.”

Pervy smiled and moved closer, hugging her around the waist, “Yeah, Rule #1. Never stick it in the crazy.”

“You said it,” she agreed, now looking out the barred window, “Least I don’t have to worry about that. Not like I’ll be deprived.”

Pervy chuckled, “I’ll be your girlfriend while you’re in here, Dashie.”

Leaning against her a little, Rainbow sniffled as a wash of emotions overcame herself, “Thanks ...Still think you can get ‘Shy in here too?”

“...I don’t know if she can come out like I do,” Pervy lied.

“O-kay? Eh, no matter, I’ll try later.”

Smiling, Pervy nuzzled Rainbow’s neck and squeezed tighter, “Are you feeling better?”

“A little,” Rainbow admitted with a soft sigh, “I feel better now that you’re here.”

“Rainbow… I think I’m really here,” Pervy said quietly, “Like… real flesh and blood…”

“Hey, no need to pull my tail, Pervy. I know you’re not actually here, I’m just pretending you are. But it’s okay, it still helps,” Rainbow patted her gently.

Pervy opened her mouth to argue, but closed it again, just nuzzling her while her heart pounded in her chest.

“...Wait, how would that even work? Or happen? How would you know? No, seriously, how so?” Rainbow asked, now looking at her curiously.

Pervy shrugged, “I don’t know. I just… feel more real. I’m not speaking in your head, I’m speaking to you… and when we were hugging, I felt… warm.”

While it was confusing and even slightly alarming, Rainbow decided not to question it further for now, and opted to hug her counterpart tighter, “Well, I guess that’s at least a good thing, then, right? You’re still awesome and so… I don’t know, just everything awesome!”

Pervy looked up, realizing that Rainbow was a little taller than her, and grinned. Pushing forward, she locked lips with her, wrapping her arms around Rainbow’s neck. It was funny how she hadn’t noticed that in previous fantasies, but it didn’t matter. All but moving toward her small cot of a bed, Rainbow brought them down onto it, kissing her counterpart fiercely. Already her hands were wandering along her body, desperately seeking contact.

“Mmm,” Pervy moaned, her skin shivering (wait, she never shivered before…) from Rainbow’s hands on her back and hips, “Rainbow… I want you so much…”

“Trust me, feeling’s mutual. Need a good fuck, and your vaj has my name on it,” Rainbow moaned, pulling back a bit and nibbling her neck as she trailed her hands up her shirt, “Damn it, I need you…!”

Pervy smiled, her eyelids lowering as Rainbow’s hands went up her shirt, “You know, I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll like it here,” she said, trailing her hands over Rainbow’s stomach.

“What do you mean?” Rainbow asked, wondering how that was possible. Nonetheless, she tossed aside Pervy’s shirt and immediately fondled her small breasts eagerly.

“Dashie, if I could come out and screw you all the time, I would,” Pervy grinned, “And right now, that’s exactly what I can do.”

For the first time in ages, Rainbow grinned widely, “Yeah… me too, Perv. Fuck yeah.”

Pervy giggled and quickly kissed her, “So what are you waiting for? Pick a hole and fuck me silly!”

A pang entered Rainbow’s heart for a moment, “Damn I miss dirty talk. Keep doing that, okay?” She pulled down Pervy’s pants, tossing them aside, then along with her panties.

Pervy reached down to cup the crotch of Rainbow’s shorts, “C’mon, Dashie. Fuck this little slut until she can’t see straight!”

“Ngh… Oh man, fuck yes!” Rainbow ripped off her own clothes in one fell swoop, holding her counterpart down, “Yeah, you like that, don’t you Flu-...ah shit, sorry. I’m just gonna fuck you senseless, now!”

Shaking off the hiccup, she rose Pervy’s legs up, and swiftly entered her dampening sex with ease. Pervy felt a tiny cold feeling upon being called the wrong name, but that was quickly overtaken by the immediate sensation of being filled by Rainbow’s length.

Aside from the growing pleasure, Rainbow exhaled with relief, panting, glad for a release. She held up Pervy’s legs over her shoulders, filling her in deeper. Pervy growled underneath her, bucking her hips against her and moaning softly.

“Oh shit, Dash,” she groaned, “This is the best we’ve had yet…”

“Awesome,” Rainbow managed, thrusting faster, “Damn, you feel more real than ever! Like you’re actually there… that’s awesome!”

Pervy groaned and threw her head back against Rainbow’s pillow, “Oooooh! Fuck yourself, Dashie! Fuck us! Fuck me!”

“Fuck yes!” Rainbow shouted, her hair flopping about, “I’ll fuck you into next week, you sexy thing!”

Pervy panted and groaned, reaching her hand up toward her, “Yeah… yeah! I want to be bow legged by the time you get out of here!”

“Oh you’re gonna be more than bow-legged by then!” Rainbow hollered in excitement, “All your orifices are mine!”

Pervy’s grin got wider as the thought filled her mind, “Oh Rainbow, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were after my heart!”

“What can I say, you know I love you,” she chuckled, “Ah shit I’m close!”

“Me too,” Pervy grinned, her voice devolving into a sharp growl, “Mmm, fuck me, Rainbow!”

Growling in return, Rainbow thrust faster, “Yes! I’m gonna fuck you hard, Perv! You’re not leaving this bed until I do!”

Pervy moaned loudly, almost shrieking under the force of Rainbow’s thrusts, “YES! Oh fuck, I’m cumming!”

“Me too! Fuck…! Yes!” Rainbow growled, throwing her head back.

Pervy moaned and squeezed down on Rainbow’s cock, releasing hard and squirting out onto the sheets. Rainbow came moments later as she let out a strangled cry, spilling her seed inside of Pervy. With a grunt she hunched over, panting and regaining her breathing.

“Fuck yeah… needed that… needed a real vaj to bury myself in…” Rainbow managed, closing her eyes for a moment, “So I hope you’re ready for round-”

Upon opening her eyes, she came upon the shocking sight of Pervy now replaced with Fluttershy. Who gazed up at her with eager, loving eyes, smiling brightly. Rainbow gasped, sitting up and covering her mouth. Closing her eyes, she looked back again, seeing that Pervy was still there, now confused.

“...Did you do that thing where you close your eyes and see your ex?” she asked with an eyebrow raised, “Like on all those really bad sitcoms?”

“Yeah…” Rainbow muttered, running a hand through her hair, “I guess being here’s making me see things…”

Pervy smiled and pulled her down, kissing her softly. Not like the other times, where it was rough and dripping with sexual energy. This was… intimate. It reminded Rainbow too much of old times, something she wasn’t sure she wanted to remember. But she couldn’t pull back from it, she couldn’t run from it. It was too perfect. She needed it more than she was willing to admit. So much so, tears formed behind her closing eyelids.

Pulling away briefly, Pervy sighed, “I love you.”

“I love you too,” Rainbow murmured, nuzzling her, “Thanks…”

“No, I should be thanking you,” Pervy smiled, nuzzling her back.

“Why? I’m the one in the asylum here,” Rainbow snickered a little, “I should be thanking you for keeping me sane.”

Pervy bit her lip, and looked Rainbow in the eye, “Do you really want to thank me?”

“Of course! Why, you got a way I can thank you?” Rainbow asked.

Pervy nodded, “Give me a name.”

“A name?” Rainbow parrotted, a little confused, “You kinda do, don’t you? Oh, you mean like a real name, an actual name?”

Pervy nodded again, “I know how your brain works isn’t clear to you guys on the outside. But inside, we don’t have names. We have labels that describe what part of the psyche we represent. Names are for people… individuals.”

“Oh… So you pretty much want to be your own person, not just the part of me that you are,” Rainbow realized, exhaling, “Well, I… jeez, I’m no good with names. I took over a week just to think of a possible name for my unborn baby,” at this she felt a stab of pain, trying to shake it off, “Okay, so a name. Um, I don’t know… Do you have any in mind? Like you know, what kind of name you’d go for?”

Pervy shrugged, “I don’t know. Do people really get to pick their own names?”

“Not unless they want to change their birth names,” Rainbow said, shaking her head, “Course sometimes that just leads to nicknames and stuff. But yeah, in a way you kinda can. Jeez, this is hard, um… wow. What the heck do I name someone who’s practically me? It needs to be awesome, something cool, something people will remember, something to stand out…”

“You can take your time if you want,” Pervy said softly, “I’d just really like one…”

“Okay, so…” Rainbow sat back, considering names.

For the next two hours.

They sat around the cell, doing various things, from playing cards, to tossing a tennis ball, to even just sitting there. Not much was spoken, even when Pervy was picking at the food left there and eating it.

“You don’t mind, do you?” Pervy asked, picking at the tray.

“Nah, you go ahead,” Rainbow said, shaking her head, “I can’t eat. Anytime I tried, I couldn’t keep it down. Got no appetite, either.”

Pervy shrugged and took a spoonful of mashed potatoes, “I can see why. This tastes like shit… I think. I’ve never tasted shit before.”

“Me neither,” Rainbow chuckled, “Yeah, food here’s pretty sucky. I sure miss Fluttershy’s food. Best food I ever ate.”

“Equestria needs better funding for its hospitals,” Pervy said, before perking up, “Hey, I just had a political thought!”

Rainbow laughed a little, “Is there a Political me in there? ‘Cause now you must be stealing her thunder!”

“Not really,” Pervy shrugged, “That stuff comes from your environment, so that’s all you. We just have personalities and dispositions.”

“Really huh,” Rainbow leaned up against the wall and placed her hands behind her head, “Sure must be a colourful bunch, eh? And yeah, that was totally an intended pun.”

“Yeah… mostly a bunch of us just fuck all the time,” Pervy admitted, “Sort of a weird thing in there. There’s me and Horny who are all about sex, but everyone likes it and wants it from time to time.”

“Wait, there’s a Horny?” Rainbow said with disbelief, beginning to laugh, “Sounds like real-life me!”

“Not really. Horny just likes to fuck. I like all the dirty, dangerous, illegal stuff,” Pervy grinned, “Like, Horny isn’t the one who likes it in the ass, or wants to bang that cute girl who was always hangin’ out at your place.”

“Right,” Rainbow laughed a little, “Heh, Horny… Poor girl. Anyone who’s funny? Would she be Funny or what?”

“Yeah, but she prefers to be called ‘Drole’,” Pervy shrugged, “Fucking French people.”

“Hey, French is freaking sexy. Pretty much any word sounds sexier,” Rainbow laughed a bit, falling onto her side and sitting up, “What else? This is pretty fun, discovering all those in-in… car...car… those personas of me.”

“Incarnations,” Pervy explained, “Well there’s Sulky. Technically, he’s called Doubt, but we all called him Sulky after that fit he threw when we told him to stop making you miserable.”

“Wait, that’s a guy? Unreal. Yeah, Sulky was pretty much the worst. Wanted to smack his face in,” Rainbow made a face, “If he had a face, anyway.”

“Yeah, some of them are guys,” Pervy nodded, “Not as many as the women. But they’re there.”

“Holy crap!” Rainbow laughed again, slapping her knee, “Now that’s gotta be interesting.”

“You have a dick, what did you expect?” Pervy asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Not sure, but I guess that makes sense when I think about it. Hey! I just thought of something,” Rainbow wiped her nose and stood up, “Since you’re awesome and sexy as hell, I’m gonna get you a French name! Not sure what most of them mean, but they sound sexy, so that works.”

Pervy blushed and smiled, “T-Thanks… so what did you have in mind?”

“Uh, wow. Now there’s the hard part,” Rainbow sat down again, biting her lip, “Any of the ones that end with ‘elle’? They’re pretty.”

Pervy shrugged, “No idea. Language is your thing.”

“Let’s see… This is gonna take a while.”

Another thirty minutes passed, with Rainbow now laying on her bed, staring up at the ceiling thoughtfully. Pervy meanwhile paced, tossed the tennis ball, jogged on the spot, then sat down on the bed.

An interruption came as the door was unlocked, then opened, as two orderlies and Dr Wolf entered. All too soon Rainbow leaped up, blocking Pervy from view, despite that they didn’t seem to notice her.

Dr Wolf did, however, notice Rainbow jump up suddenly, “Is something wrong, Ms Dash?”

“What do you want?” Rainbow demanded, her voice cracking, “Coming to tell me I’m crazy, doc? Is that it? Well, then here’s your diagnosis! I’m fucking nuts! Crazy! Big whoop! Hope you’re happy!”

“Rainbow, I will not be happy until you are out of my hospital,” Dr Wolf said flatly, flipping through his charts, “You have a visitor. She is underage, so as per your court orders, you’re required to wear wrist restraints.”

“Like a prisoner,” Rainbow said flatly, then took a step back, “Well, forget it. I don’t need someone from the outside telling me how much more of a monster I already am.”

An orderly stepped forward, holding out what looked like leather arm-bands with a two inch connector.

“I can assure you, they’re nothing like handcuffs,” Dr Wolf explained, “They’re for safety, they’re not meant to be uncomfortable. And she insisted on coming to see you. Her and a lovely young woman are waiting to be let in.”

The descriptions settled in Rainbow’s mind, with conflicting emotions arising. But then why would Dr Wolf have been so vague about it? Oftentimes people you didn’t know were described with vague terms. Why would he disguise one of his own patients and Scootaloo too?

Unless it wasn’t. But she had no idea who it could possibly have been if that weren’t the case.

Letting out a sigh, she held her wrists out, “Fine.”

The orderly stepped forward and fastened Rainbow’s wrists into the restraints. Once he stepped away, Rainbow immediately tested how much she could move her arms and hands. She couldn’t reach the clasps to undo them, and couldn’t separate her arms more than a few inches. Other than that, she had enough comfortable movement.

Dr Wolf moved toward the door, “Alright, you can come in now. We’ll leave you three alone.”

The orderlies and Dr Wolf left, and her visitors came in.
