You walk around town, mind occupied by what happened in the bar. ‘Why did she kiss me?’ you think to yourself as you wander aimlessly. You brush it off and blame her drunkenness. Then your mind wanders to other thoughts. You wonder what will become of your family now that you’re gone and can’t provide for them. You sigh heavily, but then something else grabs your attention.

“Joe!” You hear the familiar voice of Twilight call out. You look behind you to see her and Spike running towards you. You stop for a moment, letting them catch up. When they reach you, they’re both panting lightly, obviously not used to such physical exertion.

“What’s up guys? Is it really important enough for you to chase me down?” you ask with a chuckle. Twilight catches her breath and tells you something you never thought you’d hear.

“Yes, it is Joe…. I found a way to get you home!” she exclaims, sounding very excited. You stare at her in shock.

“You….. You did?” you ask, not quite believing her. She makes a sound that tells you everything you need to know. “It isn’t permanent, is it?”

“No, it isn’t…” she says, assuming a guilty look. “I’m sorry I got your hopes up like that. All I can do is give you enough time to say your goodbyes, and then you’ll come back here.” she says. You think about it, knowing that, in the end, you’d just come back to Equestria, but you’d at least get to see your wife one more time….

“Let’s do it.”
*************************

“Alright, now just lay down and try to relax.” she says as you lat down on a couch in what you assume is her living room. It’s hard to tell where the library ends and the house begins.

“Alright…… You’re sure this’ll work?” you ask, slightly nervous about the whole thing.

“Positive. Now remember, you won’t have a lot of time, so say what you need to say as soon as possible. I’ll try to give you as much time as I can, but this spell takes a lot of energy.” She says, to which you nod. You take a deep breath and close your eyes, and soon hear the sound of Twilight casting the spell.

And then nothing.

You float in darkness for a time, wondering just where and when you’ll end up. You see a light ahead of you, and move towards it until it is blinding.

And then you’re home. You look around at the familiar living room, allowing a slight smile to cross your face at the memories you’ve had there. You look down at yourself, half expecting to appear as a ghostly apparition, but find yourself to seem normal, as if you’d never died.

“Hello? Is someone there?” you hear a familiar female voice call out from the kitchen. You walk towards the voice, but no sound follows your foot steps. You turn a corner to see your wife, Deborah, washing dishes, apparently assuming no one was there.

“Deb!” you call out, overjoyed to see her again. She looks up from her work and goes pale, as if she’d seen a ghost.

“J-Joe? Is that really you?” she asks, and you can see tears welling up in her eyes, and feel them in your own.

“Y-yeah…. It’s me…. I’m sorry, but I don’t have much time.” you say, stating what you already knew right off the bat. She drops what she’s doing and rushes towards you, embracing you in a hug which you return.

“Oh my god, I missed you so much.” she says, burying her face in your shoulder. You rub her back, hoping to console her.

“I know…. I’ve missed you too.” you say, fighting your tears back while she lets hers go.

But they don’t wet your shirt. They fall straight to the floor. “Where have you been!?” she yells, hitting you in the chest, only to find her fist going straight through you. “W-What?”

“I…. I’m sorry.” You say, feeling tears rolling down your face. “I don’t have much time to be here. I came back to say goodbye and that…. I’m so sorry for the way I was…” you say, feeling the guilt come back full force.

“No, don’t be sorry…. I should be the one apologizing….” she says between sobs. For a moment you’re confused, but then she pulls your head close and whispers something into your ear. Something that fills you with rage and sorrow at the same time. You’re about to say something, about to vent your rage on the nearest person, but then you feel a tug, and everything begins to fade. “I’m so sorry.” is the last thing you hear before your world is enveloped in darkness once again.

You bolt upright, panting and sweating as if you’d just awoken from a nightmare. You look around, forgetting where you are for a moment, but soon remember that you’re with Twilight at the library. You hear heavy panting from your left, and look to see the lavender colored pony, clearly exhausted. Ignoring her, you walk towards the door, with one destination in mind.

“Where are you going?” You hear Twilight ask as you near the door.

“To the bar. I need a few drinks.” You say, your voice monotone as you open the door and walk away.

When you reach the bar, it’s relatively empty, save for a few regulars. You find Berry there again, and choose to sit next to her.

“Hey Joe.” she says as you take your seat and the barkeep begins getting your usual drink.

“Hey Berry.” is all you say in response, not exactly in the mood for conversation.

“What happened to you?” she asks, noticing your change in demeanor.

“Just learned something I would rather not have known.” You say as your drink is served and you begin to drink.

“Which was what?” she asks. Her persistence begins to grate on your nerves, making you more irritable than you already were.

“I’d rather not talk about it right now. Maybe after a couple more drinks.” you say, making her laugh slightly.
******************
ONE HOUR LATER
******************

You cry into your drink, pouring your heart out to everyone in the bar. “And you know what she tells me? She says ‘Jenny isn’t your daughter, she’s David’s.’! That bitch was cheating on me with my brother all along, and I ended up raising his fucking kid!” you yell through your sobs, slamming a fist down on the counter, spilling some of your drink. You hear various ponies throughout the room murmur apologies and sayings to the effect of ‘life’s a bitch’. You continue drinking, ordering the strongest alcohol the have. You get three shots in, and then black out.

You wake up the next morning with a splitting headache, and a bed beneath you. You’re confused about your surroundings, looking around with hazy vision. You rub your eyes and your vision clears, revealing the interior of a trailer. You groan, but soon hear a happy sounding moan from your right. You look over to find yourself in bed with Berry, and begin to panic. You lift the covers to find yourself completely naked.

With a condom on.

Next to Berry.

You groan again, knowing for a fact what happened last night.

“Shiiiiiiiiit.” you say, and you hear her slowly start to wake up.

“WHAT THE BUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!?!?!?”

A/N: Needed an interesting way to break the species barrier, so I thought 'what better way than to get completly hammered?'. and thus, you had drunk sex with Berry Punch, in case you couldn't figure that out. Hope you enjoyed it! The story, not the sex. I know you enjoyed that.
