"Ebah, please!" I pleaded, banging on my chamber door with a hoof as I stood, locked out, in the hallway. "Please let me in! I am only doing this to help you!" My words were met with silence, causing me to slump down on the floor. "I don't like this any more than you, but if this is what it takes then I want to at least try!" Again, silence. "Can you not try it just this once? For me?"

"Fuck! Off!"

I sighed heavily, torn between feeling guilty for what I was about to do while also being annoyed with his childish behavior. However, I did not let myself slip up. He's in a fragile state and I will be understanding and supportive...even if I'm forcing him into doing the very last thing he would ever want. "You do realize that I could easily teleport in there and drag you out, yes?"

"...Fuck..."

"I do not wish to drag you out kicking and screaming. Such drastic measures should be uncalled for. But, If that is what it takes, then I shall do just that."

"I'd like to see you fuckin' try!"

I was bluffing at first, but now it would seem that I have no other options to get him the help he desperately needs. "I'm terribly sorry about this, my son. But, you've left me no choice."

"One PM...Any minute now..." Doctor Mind muttered to himself as he glanced at the clock, awaiting his next appointment with very little enthusiasm. The last time he saw this child wasn't pleasant by any meaning of the word. He was actually quite reluctant to agree to see him once again, but couldn't find it in his heart to deny the lunar princess. Especially when her eyes started to tear up...

"Why did I agree to this?" He magically lifted his glasses from his face, rubbing his eyes before moving on to his temples as he prepared himself for today's migraine. In almost no time at all he could hear the ruckus down the hall, the child's calling card from what he has gathered since Luna adopted him. The sounds being made became louder, drawing painfully closer with every agonizing second that passed. "This is going to be a long day..."

With a less-than-pleased sigh, Mind hopped out of his seat and trotted out of his office and into his 'work room', which consisted of white walls, one rolling chair and one chaise lounge. Standing in the doorway at the front of this room was a rather frustrated looking Luna, levitating the small colt above her head whilst he thrashed around wildly in some poor attempt to escape her hold on him.

Mind's first reaction was to roll his eyes at the scene as Luna began to lightly scold the child for acting out. Of course, he paid attention so he could know what to prepare for should Ebah choose to get mouthy once the princess left, but found no amusement in it at all.

Finally, Luna turned to face the doctor with an apologetic look on her face. "Terribly sorry about this, Doctor mind. Ebah isn't-"

Doctor mind raised a hoof to politely silence the princess. "Say no more, your highness. I'm more than aware of his stance on my profession. It was quite hard to ignore actually with how audible he was during our first encounter." Daring to glance at the colt hovering above him, he found it hard not to roll his eyes again as his gaze was met with silent disdain from the young alicorn. "I was hoping this time would be different, but I didn't get my hopes up."

"Bet your dick is standing at attention seeing me restrained up here." Ebah boldly stated, earning a disapproving look from Luna, who was about to scold him once more.

"No, princess." Doctor Mind interjected before she could speak. "This in an unfiltered area where patients may speak their minds freely."

Princess Luna turned her attention back to the doctor, offering him a nod in response as she took a calming breath. "I assume you can take things from here."

Doctor Mind nodded, "Yes, I can. If you could just set him on the lounge then you are free to leave so I may work with him."

As instructed, Luna levitated Ebah to the lounge and set him down gently. Ebah glared at her with enough intensity to melt stone, but remained seated even as she said her goodbye's to the doctor and left.

Doctor Mind trotted over to his seat, sitting down and eyeing Ebah all the while. His horn sparked to life, a notepad and pen appearing before him as a result. "Let's start off with something simple; I want to know how you are feeling right at this moment."

Ebah's glare intensified as he responded back with, "Like this is a load of horse shit and you should go fuck yourself with the fat end of a wine bottle."

Doctor Mind nodded at this, admiring the creativity behind that statement. "That's an...unnaturally specific way of telling me off. Where do thoughts like this come from?"

"I've seen someone do it." Ebah responded, now earning a wide-eyed gaze from his new psychologist. "It's was actually very fascinating. I don't know how that woman managed to fit that in her puss then push it back out like she was birthing a newborn, but she did...fat end first...What the hell happened to that poor girl?"

Doctor Mind could only look at the colt in shock as he asked himself that same question. Next to that was another that repeated in his brain several times. What happened to you!?

"What the hell are you all looking at?" I asked with venom in my words, causing the other thestrals to flinch and turn away. Even as they turned their attention elsewhere, I could still hear them whispering to each other, to which I could only growl in response. With a quick swipe from my hoof, the shower-head turned off and I stepped aside for the next guard to take my place.

I grabbed a towel from the stack nearby, quickly drying myself off before setting it on my back to let it rest while I finished the rest of my routine. My fellow guards eyed me when they thought I wasn't looking, but I could feel their gazes. Each set of eyes bore into the back of my skull like heat lamps. Nearly each and every one of them had their sights on me as they bickered and gossiped with their friends. This has become the norm for me over the past few weeks. After the incident with Ebah being foalknapped, and me stupidly announcing myself as his marefriend, I became the center of the world to these ponies. Not one has dared to confront me though. I assume it's out of fear of what might happen to them as a result.

I'll admit that I'm not the biggest or the strongest guard in the castle, or even in my platoon, but they stilled shied away from me. It took me a little while to realize that it wasn't because they were scared of me, but because they were scared of the unchained wrath of 'The prince of rage', as they started calling him. As it turns out, nearly everypony in Canterlot heard about what happened that night and the news spread like wildfire. Rumors started to surface from every direction; I've heard many a pony talk about him in hushed tones, saying horrible things about how he would be the next major threat, or try to overthrow Celestia and all sorts of horse apples. It makes me sick!

Urgh!

I have got to stop thinking about this so much! As if I'm not stressed enough with being everypony's eye candy, the last thing I need is to start thinking that Ebah would actually do something like that. Which he wouldn't! I know he has issues and that his temper could use some work, but he's not evil. He's not out to hurt anypony. He's just a colt with issues that needs somepony to be there for him and I'm happy to be that pony no matter what these other guards think.

I'll admit, I have thought about what would happen if he turned against everypony. If one day he just snapped and tried to take over, or simply started destroying everything. I have nightmares about it to this day; I see villages burning, whole towns turned to dust in a matter of minutes. The entire planet being consumed in fire. Ebah wouldn't do that though, he couldn't...

Ebah is an ass by every definition, I know that, but he's not bad pony. That twisted colt has a heart of gold, I can feel it every time I'm with him, even when he's at his worst. Every time we touch, the few times we've kissed, the amount of passion and caring that goes into everything he does for me; A bad pony isn't capable of stirring up feelings like this. I would know, I've dated some shit-stallions in my life. But he can do it so effortlessly. That has to mean something...

I stopped in front of my locker, my head dropping slightly as I placed hoof to my temple. "What is wrong with me?" I asked myself, turning to my locker and opening it so I could make sure everything was in place. "How can somepony so young and so fucked in the head make me feel like this?"

Once I opened my locker, I looked over the contents moving a few things aside to make for easier access later, when I have to go on duty. With everything sorted, I tossed my towel inside and closed the metal door- "Hi, Gar!"

"Fuck!" I yelped, jumping back from the mare's sudden appearance. Surprise was quickly replaced with irritation as I eyes the red haired, thestral. "Luna dammit, Penny! If you don't stop popping up like this, I swear, I will punch you square in the throat!"

Her bright orange eyes glistened in the dim light as she regarded me with an almost cocky stare. "Funny!" She began, taking a few steps toward me. "That sounds like something Ebah would say."

"Penny, I am NOT in the mood." I lightly snapped, shoving her as I walked by. Part of me was hoping that would be the end of it. But, if I know this mare, and sadly I do...

"Come on, Garnette!" Penny piped up, flying at a pace equal to my disgruntled stride. "Everypony is going batty about your little coltfriend." I kept my head forward, trying to ignore her. "They might be too scared to ask you anything, but you've known me long enough to know that nothing can stop me."

Picking up her pace, Penny got ahead and landed, blocking my path and leaning close enough that I could smell the peaches she had for breakfast this morning. "Come on! We just want to know what the word is." She pleaded, eager to have her curiosity satiated. "Did he really kill a solar guard? And what about Princess Luna? I heard that he slapped her clear across a field!" I rolled my eyes at her questions, ready to give her another shove just to get her out of my way. "What about that kiss?"

Wait what?

"Somepony said that you kissed him and that's the only reason he didn't burn down the whole palace. Is that true?"

I felt my eyes widen at this. Who could have possibly seen that!? I was sure the only ponies there were Luna, myself, and Thick Armor! What the actual fuck!?

"Don't get so worked up, Garnette." Penny continued, noticing my dismay and waving a dismissive hoof in my direction. "It's kinda sweet, in a pedophilia sort of way." She added with a giggle, only causing me to feel a bit of dread as a result. "Is it warm in here?" She asked, her smile falling as she glanced around the room.

Thank Luna she asked that, because I thought it was just my embarrassment making it feel warm. In fact, now that I think about it, it felt more than warm. It was starting to get a little hot. I followed Penny's example and looked around, seeing that many of the other guards were beginning to feel uncomfortable from the rising temperature.

"What the hell is-?" There was a loud boom that interrupted me, along with a slight trembling throughout the entire barracks. When the shaking stopped, it wasn't hard to put the pieces together. "Ebah..."

Penny's eyes became wide, a shit eating grin spreading across her face as her attention rested entirely on me. "Aww, is your coltfriend throwing another tantrum?" She teased, giggling to herself. "Emphasis on the colt part, by the way."

You know what, I'm getting really sick of this mare's shit.

"You realize the only reason you're still alive is because I haven't told him about you, right?" I watched her smile falter, very slowly turning into a frown. "And for the record; He didn't kill that guard. But, he was about to...and the only thing stopping him was, indeed, myself." Her upper lip quivered ever so slightly, giving me a nice little sense of satisfaction.

"This is your last warning: Back. Off." I finally shoved passed her and made my way out of the barracks at a full sprint, keeping my eyes forward as I charged up a small flight of stairs.

I got into the hallway, trotting as fast as my hooves could carry me while silently praying that Ebah hadn't killed anypony. Rounding a corner, I spotted Princess Luna just up ahead. She was running too, but seemed to have a better idea as to where she was going. It took a lot out of me to catch up with her, but soon enough we were neck and neck.

"Princess Luna! " I called out, "What's going on?"

Luna's sight remained on what was in front of her as she replied back. "I'm not sure, but I hope that Ebah is alright!"

"I don't think it's him that we have to worry about..." Keeping pace with the princess, we came to a part of the castle that I rarely visited, the infirmary. I'm not sure why we're here, but my princess didn't show any sign of stopping, so neither did I.

We pressed on, soon coming to an area I have never been to before. We passed by a sign that read 'Behavioral Health Center'. I was caught off guard by this section, having not known that the castle had one of these. But, knowing personally what some of the guard has gone through, I can't say that it's all that surprising.

Rounding another corner, we came into another hallway, this one filled with smoke. At the very end was a room, the door blown off of its hinges, where the smoke appeared to be originating. Without missing a beat, Luna used her magic to disperse the smoke and we charged in, coming to a dead stop once we were inside.

"Ebah!" Luna called out.

"Ebah..." I repeated out of instinct, looking around frantically.

An overturned chair was pushed over to our left, a stallion pulling himself up from behind it and coughing his lungs up as he struggled to get up.

"Doctor Mind!" Luna quickly ran to his aid, helping the doctor get back on his hooves. "Are you alright? What happened?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" The soot covered doctor replied, looking shaken and scared. He straightened his glasses and looked past us. "Where is the child?"

There was a groan that caught our attention on the other side of the room. As I looked over, I spotted an upside down psychologist couch and small grey hoof sticking out from beneath it. "Help..." A voice called out softly. "This body is tiny and weak."

Luna reacted quickly, throwing the couch aside with her magic and diving in to pick up Ebah. "Oh, my poor son!" She all but yelled, holding him tightly to her barrel. "Everything will be alright! Mommy is here!"

I was doing my best not to laugh at the now struggling colt, desperately trying to pull himself free from the Lunar Princesses' forceful embrace. However, the look on this Doctor's face had me in a trance. He didn't just look unsettled. He was horrified. The expression on his face was as if he had just watched somepony die right in front of him.

Without a word, the doctor nearly ran out of the office. An odd feeling of dread began to fill my chest, making me feel hollow and empty. Slowly, I turned my head to look back at the princess, still smothering her son in her embrace. It took nearly a full minute for him to finally break free just enough to pull his head back.

Ebah was gasping for air, holding a hoof to his chest. "You know..." He began, still breathing heavily, "I thought one day...I would die...by suffocating in...fur...but not once did I think...it would be THIS literal...fuck!"

As funny as that statement was, I couldn't find it in me to laugh. The expression on that stallion's face was haunting my memory. He's a psychologist. I can only assume he must have dealt with a lot during his time here. That being said, why would he react the way he did? Why did he look so scared when he saw Ebah?

What the hell happened here?

Doctor Mind cut off the magic in his horn, keeping an eye on the nearly unconscious colt laying on the lounge as he readied his pen. "There, now we can truly begin." He said, mostly to himself. "Just to be sure the spell is working properly, I would like to ask you a few easy questions. Do you understand?"

"Yeah..." Ebah responded lifelessly.

Doctor Mind nodded and began his assessment. "What is your name?"

"I...don't know..."

He nodded his head at this, finding it odd how his subconscious mind still couldn't recall something so simple. "Okay...What about your birthplace? Where were you born?"

"United States of America..."

"And that's not here in Equestria, is it? That's in your home world, right?"

"Yep..."

Humming to himself, the doctor made sure to note that the colt was giving him the same answers he had during their first assessment. He concluded that if he was going to learn anything else about this child, he would need to change things up. They sat in silence as doctor mind thought over how he could bypass such powerful memory blocks so he could get the truth out of the disturbed child.

Frustration started to set in as he continuously looked through what he had already asked and how it had gotten him nowhere. There were so many walls, so much that Ebah just couldn't seem to remember. Even when he tried to dig into the darkest depths of his mind, no new answered ever surfaced. But why?

"Why can’t you remember?" He asked in a hushed tone, mostly speaking to himself.

"...He won't let me..."

Doctor Mind's ears perked up at the response, looking up from his notes and staring at Ebah, who was still laying half asleep right across from him. "You mean the voice, right? The one who you don't like?"

"He doesn't like me either...He doesn't want me to remember..."

Doctor Mind's pen began scribbling across the notepad, jotting everything down as he continued. "Why doesn't he want you to remember?"

"I'm not sure...I've asked him before, but I never get a real answer out of him...

Doctor Mind normally wouldn't take such drastic measures. This is a delicate situation and should be handled with care, but he was running out of options. If he can't ease the answers out of the colt, he will have to force them out. "Ebah...I want you to try and remember everything he doesn't want you to. I want you to tell me your real name, where your from and everything else he has been hiding from you."

Ebah's lidded eyes closed completely, his legs kicking every so often as he tried to remember. There appeared to be a struggle of sorts as the colt fought to recover the lost memories, one that Doctor Mind merely observed as he patiently waited for the answers he was looking for. "You need to fight him, Ebah. He's keeping important information from you. You must remember...fight him."

The colt's form went from light twitched to near-full spasms. His eyes were now clenched shut, his breathing heavy and his teeth bared as he fought hard to obey the doctor's orders.

Although this seemed like a good idea at first, it was proving to make things worse. With the situation now becoming desperate, Doctor mind was forced to put a stop to it. "Ebah, stop! Stop right now!" No response came as the young alicorn began to writhe before him. "Ebah, I said stop!" Ebah's eyes opened, the once blue orbs now a piercing yellow. His mane and tail ignited, causing the stallion to lean back. However, the colt no longer struggled. Despite the small change in form, he peacefully held his spot on the lounge.

With the issue seeming to have settled, and Mind's shock was wearing off, he went back to his notes and made sure that nothing was left out. With everything he needed now written in ink, he turned his attention back to the fiery colt. He found it strange how the flames coming off of him weren't producing any real heat, but was happy as well since it didn't appear to be causing any damage.

"Ebah, are you alright?" He asked curiously.

"Burn..."

Doctor Mind raised his brow, leaning in to hear him better. "I didn't quite hear that. How are you feeling right now?"

"Burn it..."

"One more time..."

Mind nearly jumped out of his seat as a spark shot out of Ebah's horn. "Burn it...Burn it down..."

The room started to feel warm. So warm, in fact, that Doctor Mind found himself beginning to sweat. And it only seemed to get warmer. "Ebah, I need you to wake up." He began, panic now starting to set in as the intense heat became more than a little discomforting. "The session is over, you may leave now."

"Burn it down...Burn it to the ground..."

Quickly, Doctor mind got out of his chair, moving to stand behind it in an attempt to shield himself from the heat. "Ebah, please wake up!"

"Burn it down!" Ebah yelled, his voice dropping to an unnaturally low tone, "and salt the earth so nothing may grow!"

The air around him grew hotter, the walls surrounding him beginning to darken as a result, overwhelming the doctor. "Wake the fuck up!"

Following that statement was a loud boom, followed by a surge that shoved Doctor Mind against the wall with the chair he was using as a shield landing on top of him.

Burn it...

Shut up.

Burn it down...

Shut up!

Burn it to the ground...

"I said, 'Shut the fuck up', God dammit!" I yelled to myself, trying to silence that talkative prick before I lose my mind and light myself on fire out of spite. "Annoying fuckin' cock-hole." When I was met with silence, I relaxed against one of the porcelain walls as the warm water collected all the ash and soot from my fur. I was about to close my eyes and 'really' relax when someone decided to get a little nosy.

"Ebah?" The woman addressed me questioningly from outside of the bathroom. "Is everything alright in there?"

"Go away!" I responded rather harshly, more than I even intended, sinking myself deeper into the tub until the water nearly covered my mouth. "I'm naked!"

Author's Notes:

If y'all aren't on my Discord yet, get on that shit. It explains everything about why I've been gone, the delays, and the massive amount of bullshit I've been caught up in. I'd explain it all, but I hate repeating myself and I don't have the patience to sift through all that shit and repost it here.
Not to mention, some of them are fuckin' paragraphs long enough to make a decent one-shot.
