Ribbon was serious about keeping me tied up until my mood improved. When she had gotten back, she teleported me into one of the empty cars of the train. After getting to Canterlot, she again teleported me, this time, to our room in the hive. I was forced to spend a hour or so alone, still tied up.

When she showed up, having walked, I tilted my head. -Oh yeah... You're gonna remove the egg, aren't you...- I still felt like a sack of shit, and it showed.

“I kind of have to, you’re not made to carry it long term.”

-Now... would probably be the best time to do it... Its not like I'm in any position to resist... But... I really like having it in me... Can't... I hold onto it a bit longer?- It really did feel nice, hell, it was the feeling of comfort that probably made me hesitate long enough to get Ribbon to keep me from doing something I might regret.

“Well, you can. even if it goes bad, its just an egg, I can lay another.”

-I mean... until it's ready for fertilization.-

“As long as we’re at the hive we can do that whenever. Now, or later.”

-Its just that I want to be as much a part of this as you are. If I could, I'd carry it until a few days before it was going to hatch.-

“It’s not like a chicken egg, you saw how big Mirage’s egg got before she hatched.”

-...Alright... go ahead...-

“You can keep hold of the egg a little longer, I have no idea how long it’ll last though.”

-...Thank you...- When she blushed, a thin line running from her left cheek to her forehead caught my attention. -Ribbon? Your face... What happened?-

“On my way back to the hive I was attacked by a pegasus who was spouting anti-changeling propaganda. He’s been charged with attacking royalty, so Princess Celestia is dealing with him.”

-WHAT!? WHEN I GET MY HOOVES ON THAT MOTHERFUCKER!...- A loud growl rose from my throat, as I begun struggling against the straightjacket with renewed vigor. Oh how I was going to show that sad little meatbag what happen when you hurt those I care for... After I rip the information on what drove him to from his mind, that is. See if hes truely heartless, Its not like he'll be needing one once if finished with him... -Going to gut the bastard.-

“Chi calm down! He’s already been taken care of!”

-HE HURT YOU! I AM GOING TO KILL THE SCUM SUCKER!-

*Smack* She slapped me! She freaking slapped me! Wait...

-Oh god... did... did I just lose it?- What the hell was wrong with me!?

I slumped back down to the floor, whimpering, as I begun crying. -Why..?- God... I am a monster. -It's getting worse. I'm flying off the handle for practically no reason. I'm going to wind up in the crazy house, aren't I Ribbon?-

“You’re going to end up worse than that. If you keep acting up like that, Princess Celestia might think there's no redemption for whoever’s in that body!”

-I don't want to become a monster... As much as it pains me to say it, we need a way to prevent me from coming back, so I can be... put down for good if I... become completely insane... -

“I don’t want to lose you! What if...What if we found a way to lock away your magic. I mean the ring works, but its just one little piece, it needs to be stronger.”

-But.. what could do that?-

“I’ll ask the princesses about it. In the mean time, no more magic practice and no taking the ring off. If you even can.”

-Yeah... Considering im in a straightjacket, I don't think I'll be getting that ring off any time soon.-

“Good. Lets get some sleep, it’s been a long couple of days.” She levitated me onto the cloud bed, drawing the blanket over me with her magic. She went into a side room, and when she came out, she had that violin I once walked in on her playing a long time ago, before she positioned herself at the foot of the bed, and begun playing.

It was beautiful, I was left unable to form words as I was mesmerized by the emotion Ribbon poured into it, and saw a single tear fall from her eye. I could feel myself being carried off to sleep by the sadness and love she put in her art, and soon entered a deep slumber.

I woke feeling something damp against the side of my neck. When I repositioned my head, I saw Ribbon had been crying as she slept, tears staining her chiten, while she held me tightly against her. -Ribbon? You've... you've been crying...- She didn't respond, so I wiggled a bit in her grip, hoping it would rouse her. -Ribbon? Wake up.-

“Stop… moving.” her eyes fluttered open as she said that, and we spent several moments just staring into each others eyes.

-You've been crying...-

“I have?” She wiped her eye with a hoof. “I have… I’m going to have go ask the Princess if I can get some really strong magic binders.”

-What... What do I do in the meantime? And... aren't you going to have to tell them why you need them?-

“Yeah, hopefully Princess Luna will understand.”

-Actually... if you can control me through our link... could I tap into your senses? Then I can at least experience what's going on.-

“I suppose. If you can, I’ll let you in.”

I closed my eyes and focused myself inwards, feeling my link towards Ribbon, and letting myself travel along it. The next thing I knew, I was seeing myself sitting there breathing slowly, concentrating... Until a small blush formed on my cheeks from seeing myself in a straightjacket, the muzzle actually blending in somewhat with my fur, and that small bulge in my belly from Ribbons egg. -It... it worked!... what’s with all the buzzing?-

“That might by the hive you’re hearing, hundreds of thousands of voices talking to each other and I hear every last one of them. It’s deafening, but I like it.”

-So that’s what an internet forum sounds like.- I kept my eyes closed, as I did not want to experience two separate senses of sight at once. It was different when I duplicated myself, because I technically had two brains to process them. It was weird though, feeling both my hooves held securely against my chest, yet also feeling the ground beneath Ribbons hooves.

“I suppose so, yeah.”

-So, I guess we... errr you, go inquire about something that could keep me contained more securely.- Ribbon made certain I was tucked into the bed comfortably, before she trotted out the door and down the hall, heading up towards the surface, with me experiencing everything though her senses.

After exiting the hive and the caverns, Ribbon made her way through the crowd, everypony getting out of her way, when the next thing we knew, Ribbon had bumped into a brown earth pony stallion, who had an hourglass cutie mark. "Well now! Fancy bumping into you, Ribbon!"

“Time Turner! It’s been awhile, the shop ok?”

"Oh, it’s doing quite fine, what has my attention is, where’s your tall dark and spooky friend?"

“She’s, uh. Not feeling well. How about Derpy, has she broken my mailbox again yet?” I don’t think Ribbon noticed it, but I think his eye widened just the smallest amount. And I swear I knew that voice from somewhere...

“Oh, quite the opposite. The mailbox won. Quite the nasty lump she got.”

“Figures. Leave it to her to be bested by a mailbox.”

-Need I remind you of Keith?-

’That was different. He made an animatronic mailbox.’ Oh, shes referring to that incident.

“I don’t get what could have Chitsuki under the weather though, must be one nasty bug. How bad is it?”

“Pretty bad, I’m going to go ask the princesses about it.”

“Oh dear… Well then, I really must be going. Things to do, things to fix. Ta ta.”

“I hope to see you around some more!”

-Now I know where I’ve heard that voice before! Hes got the same mannerisms as well!-

’Same as who? You mean Time Turner? I used to make small gears and springs for him.”

-I’m sorry, but a pony version of david tennant, with an hourglass cutie mark? I have a feeling that he might actually be the Doctor.-

’Doctor? Doctor who?

-Exactly!-

’I don’t get it.’

-I think thats why he chose the name. Next time you see him, ask if the chameleon circuit’s still broken.-

’That’s ridiculous. If it’ll make you happy, I’ll ask him later.’

-Now then, we still have to see the Princesses.-

RIbbon walked into the throne room, causing both Celestia and Luna to glance at her. Celestia was the first to speak.

“Ribbon? what brings you back here? And without Chitsuki for that matter? I thought she’d never leave your side.”

“Heh, I’m here because of her. She’s been having wild mood swings that go from murderous, to depressed in the blink of an eye. I was hoping you could help, I figure if we at least suppress her magic, she wouldn’t be able to hurt anypony.”

“And where is she right now?”

“She’s tied up and has a suppressor ring on, but I was hoping you had something she couldn't just take off. And I have asked her, she wants her magic suppressed too. Its gotten that bad.”

“We may have something that could do that… And I must ask, what do you mean by ‘that bad’?”

“She’s in a straight jacket…” Celestial narrowed her eyes, and there was the slightest edge in her voice.

"Has anypony been harmed?"

“Not yet, but I fear she might try and kill the pony to so much as bump into me.”

"What made you think she was becoming such a danger to those around her?"

“Well, it’s been slow, but she’s been getting a little more aggressive or angry every day. It hard to tell, but I think it started the day she found out she was probably immortal. Actually it’s worse than that, she already died once… it didn’t last long.”

"Was she any different after she... 'Died'?"

“I think she got a little more attached to me. That was when her mane turned black.”

Luna actually looked a bit rattled at this whole discussion, and it showed in her voice. "Has... Has she been in constant state of rage, or have these been isolated incidents?"

“Her fight with King Sombra was the worse incident by far. But, so far they seem isolated, me being attacked or insulted, others thinking she’s like Nightmare Moon or accusing her, ponies fearing her or avoiding her for no reason, or others that she thinks are generally evil. Her mood swings seem to have the same four triggers.”

"That is most disturbing... It's almost like I was before… Before I became Nightmare Moon. You said she came back from the dead. It horrifies me to think of how much damage she could cause if she became like that."

“She already wants to kill herself, but she can’t, not without killing me and Mirage, something that has never crossed her mind. She wanted to find an alternate method to 'put herself down permanently' if she became irrevocably enraged."

"She is just as much a threat to herself as she is to others then."

Everything was starting to fade, and I could feel my head throbbing, before I felt my connection to Ribbons senses cut out. I opened my eyes to see the ceiling of our bedroom. I was alone again. I was still tucked in, rather tightly so I wouldn't roll out of bed, and still tightly bound. There was nothing to really do except rest.

I woke to somebody shaking me, and open my eyes to see Ribbon. -You're back. Did you get anything stronger? My connection to your senses kinda cut out.-

“Oh yeah, I got it.” She lifted up a pair of… four hoof cuffs, plus an oversized dog collar and a another ring. All of which had runes engraved on them.

-We still have your egg to take care of as well.-

“I do that after you’re in these, that way you can just rest afterwards.”

-Okay. What's with the collar and hoof cuffs anyway?-

“The cuffs block your earth pony magic, and the wing binds block your pegasus magic and lock your wings, and… you already know what the ring does. And you won’t be able to take it off, the magic runes won't let you.”

-Well then, get me into those.- Levitating me out of bed, she undid the buckles on the jacket and set me down on my hooves. After some oh so good streching, I put on cuffs with some difficulty as she put the oversized dog collar over my wings and locked it. With both the wing binds and cuffs locked in place, she quickly swapped out the ring for the one the princesses gave her. When I tried to touch the ring, the runes on both it and the hoof cuffs glowed, and my legs where pushed away from it. So that's what she meant.

Now came the painful part. Good thing I’m still wearing the muzzle.

*Warning, clop-ish type stuff.*

“I’ll try and make it quick.” I laid down on our bed and she moved in between my legs. I grabbed the pillow so I had something to hold onto. A flash of green caught my eye, Ribbon had made her tongue long, very long and flat. “I’ll make it up to you later.”

-Just do it.- Slowly, her tongue entered my passage, worming her way in and to the back. the slight pain warned me that she was there. I felt her tongue coil around itself and I gripped the pillow tighter, whimpering. Then it happened and she went for the egg. I screamed into the muzzle as her flat tongue wrapped around the egg and started to pull it out. It hurt just as much as when she put the egg in, and I arched my back in pain. It was slowly moving, and I could feel myself crying at how much it hurt. Once it got past my cervix, it was a lot less painful though. I couldn't feel the pain over the volcanoes of agony that was my cervix, and never noticed her pull it out.

*end clopish section*

"Chi? Chi, its out."

-That hurt, alot. But... What the heck do I do now? It's not like I can go out in public looking like this.-

“Well you could, might get a few stares though. And you can always ask me to… do stuff for you.”

-maybe later… Now could you please get this muzzle off?- Ribbon crawled off me, and after letting me sit up, undid it with her magic before letting me pull it off. I took the opportunity to release a large yawn as I stretched my jaw. “Oh that feels good…”

“You know, you can still walk around the hive. They already kinda know.”

“I… Thanks. Its just… I feel so vulnerable now. I took all that magic I had for granted, and now…”

“You didn’t have magic in your world, so surely you know how to survive without it.”

“In my world, I had opposable thumbs. how am I even suppose to do have the stuff with hooves?”

“The earth ponies don’t seem to mind. You just need to learn how to do things with your hooves and mouth, like they do.”

“And the worst part? How am I supposed to keep you and Mirage safe?”

“We’re in Canterlot and Mirage doesnt leave the hive, and from now on, I’ll have guards with me. My guard, not the princesses.”

“Hopefully nothing bad happens…” I sighed, sulking.

“Of course something bad is going to happen. We pissed off the griffons. Now we need to be ready for it, and with only two griffon cities to go, once we stop tormenting them, stealing from them, and rescuing our own. You know they’ll come for us, and I’ll know when they do. Now, how about I set up the Daring Do books for you to read?”

“I… Yes, I’d appreciate that.”
