Zipp has something that she needs to tell Sunny. She's a pretty open minded pony. She'd probably be cool with it. Right?

Written for the A Thousand Words II contest under the drama category. Special thanks to starcoder for proof-reading my story, and a happy pride month to everypony!

Fluttershy has sometimes wondered if she’s not as straight as she thinks she is, but between battling evil, saving the world, and caring for lost animals at her sanctuary, she’s never had the time to sit down and figure herself out. But she’s only getting older, and if she ever wants to find somepony to spend the rest of her life with, she’s going to have to find out who she’s actually attracted to first. 

It’s time to undress the citizens of Ponyville with her eyes.

For months now, Ponyville Schoolhouse has enjoyed peace and harmony, but such tranquility can never last. A new bully has risen to power, striking fear into everypony at school, and her name is Dinky Doo! When she's not listening attentively in class, taking a test, or doing her homework, she becomes the baddest of the bad. It falls to Miss Cheerilee to set the filly back on the straight and narrow before it's too late, at least according to Dinky herself.

“I heard you two mention the sickness. Nasty business, that.”

Applejack set her jaw. “Yeah. It is. Lotta good ponies who did nuthin’ wrong sufferin’ from it.”

“Good? Seriously? Those degenerate colt-cuddlers?” Spoiled Rich chuckled. “Well as far as I’m concerned, it has only one thing going for it – it’s killing all the right ponies.”

An Apple family member makes angry demands of Princess Twilight in the middle of a personal crisis.

Trigger warnings for HIV, the AIDs Crisis, homophobia and death.

I started writing this back in early 2018. It took me three years to finish because of the subject matter and the fact it's a non-linear narrative. All I ask is that you give it a chance to make sense and it will.

Many thanks to my pre-readers who looked at this in its various stages over the past three years: Clever Hooves, Suni, TheLostNarrator and Neighrator Pony

[EDIT] Wow, this stayed in the feature box from June 29th 2021 to July 3rd 2021! Thank you all!
