Random Scenario #2 - A Nasty Surprise · 10:30pm Jul 4th, 2020
Random Scenario #2 - Taking Back Control. (Got bored, have writers block, decided to write this to help ease it)
My name is Henry Adams. I'm a thirty three year old man currently kind of trapped in Equestria. I'm not the only guy here and as such I'm sure you've heard it all before, but the bare bones is that a wormhole opened in my living room back on Earth and I got pulled in.
And as I learned after I'd eventually calmed down, I was trapped here forever.
It was horrible at first. All of my family and friends...they were gone forever, I would never see them again. But as the months passed and the money I was given began to run dry, I knew I had a choice to either get over it and find work...or die.
I've always been a stubborn bloke, so I naturally chose to live.
I found work in a local hotel. It's a bit lackluster and the populus never use it for anything other than a place to fuck. But I get paid and more importantly, met someone who took a liking to me right off the bat.
Her name is Bluebell. She's a light blue Pegasus with gorgeous brown eyes and a notepad for her cutie mark.
We clicked the day we first met. She was funny and wicked smart, and apparently enjoyed my presence enough to tolerate me day after day. As in really tolerated it, because after a couple of weeks we were dating and she got to laugh as I choked on a sausage bap after telling a rather dirty joke.
I didn't find it quite as funny...
Still, I got my own back though. A few more weeks after the date and she was choking too, so win, win!
In any case, it was quickly apparent that we were good for each other. And as the weeks rolled into months and the months rolled into a year, I invited the bubbly and, may I say, insatiable mare to come live with me.
She said yes and so here we are today...today where I...where she...
Well...
I was walking to the front door when I heard her talking to someone in low, hushed whispers.
Normally I would chuckle and continue on my way, but as I did so I heard my name mentioned and so paused for a moment, my curiosity too much to ignore.
"...Henry though?" There was a voice I didn't recognize, but the feminine sound was all I needed to guess that it was one of Bluebell's million girl friends.
"Don't be silly," Bluebell giggled, her laughter prompting me to smile. "He's funny and great and all-"
"But you can do so much better," the other mare said.
I frowned deeply.
Could do better? Who the fuck did this prick think she was.
I was about to open the door and kick the cunt out, but stopped when I heard Bluebells reply.
"I know I can."
...what?
"But like I said. He's funny and smart and earns a load too. I could probably hit the town and snag a hot bit of stallion meat without even trying. But I'm comfortable where I am now."
Funny, smart and earns a load?
Was that all I was to her...I...I couldn't believe it. I was just some kind of safe doormat to her?
I thought she loved me...
"At least he's good in bed," the other mare giggled. "You never stop talking about that."
"He's over twice the size of a Pony, Limelight," Bluebell replied, clearly amused by her tone. "He can barely get half of it in me. If he had a pencil dick, I'd have found somepony else ages ago."
"Oh so Greenbean didn't meet your standards?"
"He was adequate."
...I was done listening to this shit.
I opened the door harder than I thought I would, the wood slamming against the wall with a huge bang.
Bluebell and her friend jumped at the noise, my girlfriend turning to look at me with surprise etched on her face.
"Henry?" she said, a light frown beginning to form. "What are you doing here, I thought you were on your way to work?"
I didn't speak, I didn't move. I simply stared at her, my breathing growing heavier and heavier with each passing second.
Her face grew paler as I did so, realization upon her face as the seconds passed by and her expression became almost frightened.
"How much did you hear?" she whispered, her friend gasping and moving away, as if to get away from the oncoming shitshow.
"Enough," I replied, the single word coming out of my mouth as if torn. "I heard enough."
"Henry I-"
"Get out."
She flinched back, startled at the venom in my tone. "Henry please, let me explain."
"Get...Out..."
Limelight bolted past me before I could say another word, but Bluebell remained, flinching again as the front door was slammed shut.
"You can do so much better than me, right?" I said, fighting not to shout at her. "You already did by the sound of it."
"It was just talk, Henry," she explained hopping off the couch and walking carefully over to me. "I was just saying it, it was just banter. I didn't mean it, I love you."
She loved me?
"You love me?" I asked, my voice painfully hollow. "Why? For my money, for how safe I am?"
"Henry-"
"Get out," I cut across, my hands aching as they were kept clenched against my sides. "I don't want to hear your excuses. Pack your shit and get out of my house."
She shook her head furiously. "No, no, no! Henry please, I didn't mean any of it, I swear!" She stood on her hind legs and put her forehooves on my chest, her head just below my chin as she stared up at me.
Her eyes were still gorgeous, still lovely to look at. Whenever we had a little spat all she had to do was look at me, pleading with her gaze and half the time I'd give in.
Perhaps that was why she thought me so safe?
"I won't be used by anyone," I stated, pushing her off me albeit softly. "Pack your stuff and go. I don't want to see you anymore."
She looked at me, her sadness slowly changing into something angry, her pretty features becoming warped with ugly hatred.
"Fine!" she replied, half screaming at me. "It's not like I can't get another stallion by the end of the day anyway."
"I heard," I said, ignoring how hurt she was making me feel as I tried to turn away. "Goodbye Bluebell."
"NO!" she screamed. "You don't fucking go anywhere! We're going to sit down and talk this out like adults."
"This is my house," I scoffed, snorting derisively at her. "The only one going anywhere is you."
"Not until we've talked!" she cried, her scream more of an angry whimper now. "We've been together for over a year Henry. But the moment you hear something you don't like, it's over? Just like that?! I don't think so! Now come here and sit down!"
"Do not speak to me like I'm a damn child, Blue!" I yelled, the sheer volume making her jump back in fright. "How long were you planning on using me? How long until you decided that I was enough of a damn doormat to stop hiding your cheating and start fucking around behind my back openly?!"
She didn't say anything, choosing to merely stare at me, clearly unsure what to do.
"I have no interest in dating a whore," I snarled, unable to hold my anger back.
"Don't call me that," she said quietly, tears beginning to fall down her cheeks. "Baby, I love you."
"Get out," I whispered. "For the last FUCKING time, GET OUT!"
She bolted past me before I could say another word, the sound of the door slamming telling me that she had left.
The adrenaline left me without warning, panting with anger as I stared at the where she had been impotently.
But then the anger left, and only a hollow hole remained.
I fell to the floor and cried, realizing as I did so that my life as I knew it was done.
I was alone again.
I'm interested to see this implemented into a story. It doesn't need all that "Princesses going insane" thing we've seen you do in the past (I'm not calling it bad or boring but it can be difficult to pull off correctly and no one wants you to burn yourself out). It's just how a few normal individuals handle a bad relationship and how it can unfold from there.
Definitely an interesting story to see done in your style though.
This is a very good story, I just wish there was a little more to it

I'm likely to do an extra with Bluebells perspective. The whole scenario here isn't quite as cut and dry as it looks, and he really should have let her explain. But anger is a nasty emotion and they both fell prey to it.

I agree this has almost the same kind of drama i'm seeing in both "mated for life", your "Alex/Xander/Luna/Cadence" story arc and even a bit of your "Royal Break-up Chronicles" i'd love to see this in story form
It's okay. Cadence will come in and pick up the pieces. After using a dull ax to make them.

yes I know tell me about it I've already been through something like that, but I'm glad you will do a side perspective of Bluebells thanks for replying to my message

It's just a drabble. I don't want to start anything new while I've still got stories to finish. I did that before and I ended up burned out.
>>sure yeah but you know keep this idea stored just in case of running out!
Fuck i want to see more of this story / universe. It's nice to see you try and write something without the princesses breathing down the protags neck.
The mini story of Heny the Tragic
This could end up being a great story when you get the chance to finish your other ones first. A story like this isn't seen much on this site at all so something like this would be big.

I may chuck up Bluebell's bit today.
First thing I see from you is this and now I'm just wondering if this did ever get made into a story. Either way I'll be checking out your other stuff.
