As Fluttershy walks away, you can't help but feel like screaming. You want to run after her, grind her to a pulp, and finally end all of this bullshit. Who cares if she's an "Element of Harmony" or a Rainbow Ranger or whatever the fuck she is. She's gone too far. Drugging you and Redheart to rape you in your sleep? And then make herself pregnant with your child because of it?

Setting aside any questions regarding pony biology, because this world is fucking weird and you can't rule out any possibility at any given time, you decide that your best course of action at this time is to regroup and recover. Redheart needs to be brought into the loop. Now.

You pick up the orange bottle and close the door behind you. Sure enough, it's a small prescription bottle of high-dose sleeping pills, diagnosed to Fluttershy. By Nurse Redheart. For occasional leg pain and sleep discomfort.

Right, from when she amputated herself.

You decide to lock the door, just to be safe.

You head upstairs, where Nurse Redheart is still lying in bed, the covers pulled tightly over her head. You quietly cross the room and sit down on the edge of the bed, unsure of where to begin or how to gather your thoughts.

"Red, it's time to get up," you say.

"But five more minutes," Red whines. "Work can wait."

"No, Red," you say. "We need to go. It's time to grab the emergency bags."

Red pauses for a moment, as if registering the words you just said. Then, she pulls the covers off and sits upright, her hair a tangled mess of knots and sleep drool.

"What did she do?" Red asks, her voice stern.

You place the bottle of pills on the bed. She picks up the bottle and inspects it carefully.

"Did she drug you to sleep?" she asks.

"No, she drugged us," you say. "And she got herself pregnant from it."

Redheart immediately leaps out of bed and gallops across the room.

"I'll grab the bags. You head to the station and get the tickets for Baltimare. We might not have much time."

"What?" you say, rising to your feet and following her downstairs. "I'm lost. Why are we running?"

"Anon, it would be easier to just go and I'll explain later. We have to go right now before the town finds out what happened."

At this point, you nod and bolt out the door. You trust Redheart at this point, and if she believes that actually bugging out of Ponyville is the best thing to do right now, then so be it. You run across town, not stopping to catch a breath, not stopping to think, not stopping to say hi to Rainbow Dash, not stopping to wave at Twilight, not even stopping by Applejack, who is setting up her cart in the market, to tell her that you quit. You just run. And when you arrive at the train station, you buy the first two tickets to Baltimare. You claim your tickets, and by the time you turn around, Redheart is pulling two wheeled bags by a rope in her teeth.

You jog to meet your marefriend, pick up the bags, and she slows down to catch her breath. The train whistles off in the distance as the two of you sit on the platform, waiting for the train to arrive.

"So, now that I've abandoned everything I've worked for, and we're running away together without a thought or question," you say, sitting down on a waiting bench. "Can you tell me why we're leaving?"

Red sighed and sits down beside you.

"Is it okay if the reason is... sort of selfish?" she asks.

The question hits you like a brick upside the head. Your instinctual answer is, 'yeah, of course it's okay, because I love you,' but it's the implication in her tone that makes you pause before you speak.

"Yeah, it's okay. What's up?"

Redheart's eyes move to the ground as the train pulls up.

"Ponyville is still a sort of... backwater town, sometimes. There's a lot of old standards here that don't always apply in a place like the city. It's just because of the community mindset and... well," she sighs shaking her head. "I know I might be over worrying, but have your heard of a Hair whip Wedding?"
