Collect some of those wonderful plants, and make a batch of tea from some.
Ah, well.... it's nice to see that SOMEBODY has finally caught up with the story. It's good to have you with us..... you think.... you're suddenly not even sure where that thought came from... but he seems nice. On the other hoof, you've never really thought to make tea out of these plants before, but it certainly doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe you'll try that later... after your business is done for today.
Fluttershy! Drugs are bad, you should know that. Regulate pony usage and allow no one to get overdoses. Then go into town and sell some to the hospital for its medical properties, bump into RD, Rarity, AJ and the CMC's. Give a medicinal plant to Jason that is NOT a narcotic, hallucinogenic, alphabetic or anything like that. Instead give him a senzu bean. It will instantly restore him to full health and remove all status effects.
Drugs?......... ... ... .. . . . .. ...... Oh no no no no no no no nononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononono no no no these aren't drugs. You're absolutely sure of that. You've been handling these plants for a long time and you're positively sure that they aren't drugs.....

Okay they are drugs (you're not about to lie to yourself like that), but YOU ARE A RESPONSIBLE PONY!!!! You always take care not to sell too much to one pony at any given time (unless you know that they can be responsible with your plants too, such as Lyra and Bon Bon, which is why you sell them such large bags. They've earned your trust), and you do regulate the usage of your plants as best you can so that nopony goes into an overdose. It hasn't happened yet, but there are chances for everything. Oh, and OF COURSE you ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT sell your plants to underage ponies and no force of nature will compel to do so.
Oh, and since you are the only person in Ponyville who sells these plants (this is where Angel bunny comes in), nopony is about to get any of these behind your back. Yes, you have complete, and careful control over the circulation of these plants in Ponyville, and your system hasn't failed you yet.
Pick your crop and start heading home. Possibly replant if needed.
Harvest what you need and take a few moments to enjoy the aroma of the flowers.
After harvesting and/or doing what you need to do to ensure healthy plants, you go back the way you came, taking caution as to not to be seen.
Well Fluttershy, rejoice with Angel! Give him a hug and talk about how lovely a crop this is going to be! Then set the little bunny to work, helping you harvest it! After all, you've got a lot of paying customers you need to make happy, and that new bird house isn't going to buy itself.
But enough about that, you came out here for a reason after all.
"Come on Angel," you say to your precious little rabbit as you nuzzle close to him, the aroma of the plants still seems to be affecting him a little. "It's time to get to work." And with that, the little guy stands straight up and snaps back to attention. He then gives you a quick salute before he hops off of your back and into the field of plants. The little guy could always bring in the best ones, and with your crop looking so good now, you're sure he'll bring you some really nice ones this time.
You're not about to let Angel do all the work though, so after he scampers away you head on into the field yourself to look over the plants.
Harvest the crops while NOT thinking about dicks.
As you look through your crops and harvest the best ones, your mind starts to wonder a bit, as it usually does when you're in here. It's not due to the effect of the plants, no no, your mind usually wonders when you are working. It helps pass the time. Like how whenever you think of Rarity's sweet and supple figure, and how nicely toned her flanks are... and what lies... just under that tail of hers.... or about that horn. It's average, but still a good length for you. Come to think of it, Twilight has a good sized horn as well, and her flanks aren't so bad. You always though that her bookish personality and looks added a little bit of something to her overall appeal. Oh, and lets not forget Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Nopony can keep up with now nicely toned they are... you're actually a little jealous.
Applejack... you'd just love to hug her... hug her so tightly.... hug her tightly and take in the rich scent of apples that she always has on her from working so hard on her farm, and then kiss her on the neck, and then your kisses start moving a little lower and... AH you always forgot about Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash... she always looked so Celestia damn good whenever she came home sweating so much after a long day of doing tricks and being awesome... or when she had a particularly tough day clearing the weather... usually both, but that's beside the point. She always looked so good when she's all wet. So... good.... makes you wanna get wet too and-
AH, Pinkie Pie... oh Pinkie Pie. She always had this strange appeal to her. You're not quite sure what it is, it's just there. You've also kind of admired her ability to wolf down massive amounts of good and not get fat. Admittedly though, Rarity is a bit more jealous of this feat than you are. Though really, she can take in so much food with that massive tongue of hers. Makes you wonder what else she can do with that tongue... it's a wonder Mrs. Cake keeps her working at Sugarcube Corner even though she eats everything.
Ah Mrs. Cake. She was always a little plump, but perfectly so, all her fat was in just the right areas. Mr. Cake really did a good job picking her, and speaking of Mr. Cake, you've always couldn't help but wonder if he was as thin in other areas as he is around the rest of him. You guess only one mare knows that. Then there is Time Turner. You've never thought about him much but you've been a little curious, though Derpy of course would be mad, but you could always bring her into it. You always though she looked SO INCREDIBLY HUGGABLY CUTE for whatever reason, especially with those eyes of hers. You just want to hug her so badly.
Then there is Lyra and Bon Bon. You've always been a little jealous of their perfect relationship, but you don't let it get in the way of your friendship. They've always been nice to you. Maybe you could talk with them a little later to help get advice on how to talk to your friends, and then maybe you, Applejack and Big Macintosh can all go into the barn and-
Ooh, speaking of Lyra and Bon Bon.... your thoughts start to drift back to Jason again. Ah Jason. He's been somewhat of a mystery since he got here. An intriguing mystery. You will admit, what you did while under the effect of the heat spell (you know the effects of heat when you smell it, you know enough about the mating season to know that it's not for a long while, which led to you deduce that it was a heating spell, which led to the deduction of so many other things) were probably not the best thing to do to a scared creature, even if it was sapient. Still, it would be nice to see him again. Maybe you could apologize, and maybe after you apologize, he could come over and poke you in the leg, over and over again and....
Something that isn't a plant is poking your leg right now isn't it....
You look down to see Angel, who has a collection of plants in both of his little bunny paws. He seems rather excited about them. They must be good.
"Oh, thank you Angel," you say as you take the plants from him and put them into your saddlebag. With that done, he salutes again and heads back off into the maze of plants. You think you know some little bunny who is getting a nice cucumber and maraschino cherry salad tonight.
After harvesting and/or doing what you need to do to ensure healthy plants, you go back the way you came, taking caution as to not to be seen.
Go over your list of clients so you can get the right amount.
Lyra and Bon Bon, naturally are at the top of the list, they sure go through a lot. Better add in an extra few pounds for Jason since they're probably sharing.
Also on the list is Filthy Rich, most likely needing to relax since his daughter is a bitch, or maybe he's planning on giving it to her lessen said bitchiness.
Cheerilee needs some since mid-terms are coming up
Derpy needs some for her wandering eye problem
And lastly is you for your own personal stash. You are running a little low
Harvest the ripe crops and bring them back to your cottage. Then check the list on who gets the next deliveries. Since Nurse Redheart is top on the list grab her order and head to the hospital!
Which is where you see Jason being flown in by a panting Rainbow, followed closely by Big Mac, Applejack, Rarity, and the CMC.
A little while later (you really weren't keeping track of time), you and Angel Bunny start walking out of the field after harvesting all of the fresh crops you need. Don't worry, between the two of you, you got a lot. Your saddlebags are absolutely filled to the brim with new plants and Angel is sitting happily on your back, seeming satisfied with his work, as he should be.
On your way back you run through your list of regular clients in your head. You suppose Lyra and Bon Bon will be wanting some soon, as they always do. They seem to be going through this stuff a lot faster since Jason's been with them. Maybe you should keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't smoking too much. Then there is Rarity, who doesn't like to admit that she does this but oh well, it's not your place to question. Filthy Rich came by asking for some recently, and he was willing to pay a lot for a lot, though you've insisted that you stick to your rates, which he was more than willing to understand. He's actually kind of nice and understanding despite his richness.... or what his daughter would have one believe.
Oh, and of course Cheerilee, one of your regulars for a long time. With all the students she has to deal with every day, she's gonna be needing some. Derpy doesn't take this stuff, or do any kind of drugs. Why you thought that she would you will never know, and then there is Nurse Redheart.
Not for herself oh no, but she keeps some at the hospital for it's medicinal and anesthesial properties. She gives it in moderate amounts to her patients when they need to relax too. You're not worried about her being irresponsible with it, if anything, she is more responsible than you. Though her recent request was a bit odd.
You don't really run a delivery service of any kinds. You don't bring your plants to the ponies, normally the ponies come to you, and Nurse Redheart is normally no exception. However, the stock at the hospital is running a little low, and she anticipated (correctly) that she would be super busy with her shift today, so she asked you if you could bring some in yourself, since she was gonna be busy and all. Ordinarily you would say no, as you have your own things to be doing, but she's been a loyal customer for a long time, and she was willing to pay a bit extra for your services, and that shiny new birdhouse that you and your birds have been wanting for a long while isn't going to pay for itself.... unfortunately.
But yes, that is what you are going to do after this. Not all of what you got today is for the hospital, no no, that's too much (even though it is a lot), besides what you have right now needs to be processed first, since as of right now, they are still just plants that you pulled up from out of the ground. You do however, have a special batch at home that you've been keeping just for them. It's for injured ponies after all, you want them to have something good while they are there.
But yes, eventually, you get back to your cottage without being attacked by anything. Not that you worried about that, but still, it is the Everfree Forest after all. Without stopping and with a bit of a spring in your step, you head on inside to drop off your harvest for today.
-A couple of minutes later-
A couple of minutes later, you're heading back out of your house again, this time sans Angel (he still has work to do on the plants) with your saddlebags filled with four (yes, that's right, four) large bags of your plant for Nurse Redheart. Ordinarily you would never sell this much to anypony, but since it's for an entire hospital you can make an exception and Nurse Redheart did pay you in full for all of them. You would have done it for the ponies in the hospital anyway, but she insisted since she knew that this was breaking some of your rules and all. You don't mind though, you really don't.
So off you were to the hospital, with a bit of a spring to your step again and a song to your voice.
"All the ducks are swimming in the water,
Fal de ral de ral do,
Fal de ral de ral do."
"All the ducks are swimming in the water,
Fal de ral de ral do,
Fal de ral de ral do,"
You sing to yourself as you canter all the way towards the hospital. It was a perfect day for singing after all. Along the way you pass by some ponies who say hi. Surprisingly, nobody asks you about buying anything today, but that's okay. They are supposed to come see you at your house for that after all.
In practically no time at all, you reach the hospital. Right as you push the door open however, something happens. Something rushes right past you, really, REALLY fast, which causes you to spin around for a bit and fall to the floor from dizziness.
PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Rainbow Dash
As quickly as you can you skid to a half right before you fly into the front desk of the hospital, careful not to drop of bump Jason into anything. You're pretty sure you might have ran into somepony on the way through the door, but that's not important right now.
"Oh my Celestia!" Nurse Redheart screams as she sees Jason laying over you and the blood from his wound pouring down your neck. "What happened!"
"He was attacked by something, I don't know!" You respond back to her. At that, she doesn't need to know anymore.
"We need a large stretcher, IV, and medical personnel here stat!" Nurse Redheart turned and screamed to Nurse Tenderheart, who didn't even need to hear the end of that before she had already ran into the back.
PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Applejack
You, your brother Big Macintosh, your licorice headed little sister Applebloom, her two friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, and now Rarity and Spike all burst through the door of the hospital just in time to see Jason laid out on a rather large stretcher and carried into the back with three doctor ponies and Nurse Redheart following him.
What do you do?
-Side Story-
-Ponyville-
Golden Oaks Library
-In the library-
Rarity's scream is heard by the tea, who immediately jump up to go help. Spike is the first out the door, screaming, "I'm coming Rarity!", closely followed by Zecora. Meanwhile, Gordon waylaid his crewmates."Captain, stop. I know that scream. That pony is rather melodramatic. She would scream like that if she stepped in mud. We need to keep reading."
After a moment, the team nodded, filing back into their seats, sans a pony and a dragon.
*The Star Trek away team is still reading through some books in the Golden Oaks library when suddenly the silence is pierced by an ear piercing screech. More like a scream. Spike, Zecora, and Gordon all seem to recognize it, however, Spike is the only one who immediately jumps to his feet and starts running out the door.*
Spike: I'M COMING RARITY!!!!
*Kirk gets up to leave with him, but Gordon stops him.*
Gordon Freebrony: Captain, stop. I know that scream (Zecora catches this and looks in his direction, none of them notice her) That pony is rather melodramatic. She would scream like that if she stepped in mud. We need to keep reading."
Zecora: It is true. (Zecora chimes in at his defense) She would scream for nothing, so her screaming is something you do not need to look into.
*Kirk just stares at her for a moment, then back to Gordon, then back to McCoy, as Spock is too focused in his book to look back. After a moment or so of looking back and forth between them, Kirk sighs then sits back down and continues reading.
-On the train between Appaloosa and Ponyville-
*In the middle of a train ride (and since this is what I get for making the pacing go too fast).*
Brauburn and Little Strongheart finally settle to playing a few games of chess. Every now and then, Brauburn would flirt the oblivious Strongheart. Every now and then, Strongheart would interrupt small talk by finishing a game with a checkmate. Every now and then, they both would take a glance at the small envelope.
B: ...And then the gall was all–
LS: Checkmate.
B: Bah. Ya always win. Can we play somethin' else?
LS: You know, you would have had a chance if you stop getting distracted with small talk.
B: Mah head can't handle all this fancy stuff! Ah need somethin' simpler.
LS: We're lucky enough that one of the workers left a chess board and the pieces to keep our minds off of the depressing trenches. What? You want us to stare at the beautiful sunset for the few hours?
B: Heh, ah would like that. (LS glares at him) Uh, 1 out of 56? If that's how the rematch saying works...
*Braeburn and Little Strongheart sit patiently in their train car playing a simple game of chess while trying DESPERATELY not to look into the envelope. They are distracting themselves basically to pass time.*
Braeburn: And than the gall was all-
Little Strongheart: Checkmate
B: AH CELESTIA DAMNIT! Ya always win. Can't we play somethin' else?
LS: You know, you would have a chance at this if you stop getting distracted by small talk.
B: Ah know. Mah head can't handle all this fancy stuff. Ah need somethin' simpler.
LS: (can't help but giggle at that) We're lucky enough that one of the workers left a chess board and the pieces for us. (Braeburn just stares at her). What? You want us to stare at the beautiful sunset for hours?
B: Maybe, that sounds mighty nice actually (winks at her, she just glares back at him). Right... so.... uh.... 1 our of 56.... If that's how the rematch saying works.... (puts on a kind of stupid smile).
-Appaloosa-
*At AIA Headquarters/Magitech Facility.*
*Grey Rebl left the server room. A normal human would ask how servers could explode just by having an overload of data. How can you expect taming electricity with magic running against each other, which is how you spark fires, by using arcane gems safe?*There were a few reasons why he needed the data from the Daleks. One reason, is that with the data, they could easily keep track of all of Equestria with surveillance from space. It makes watching over the once peaceful land a whole lot easier. Although they already have eyes on the surface, which is more detailed in the underground works, sometimes having messenger pegsi to send info isn't fast enough.
*Grey Rebl was going to return to office, but he had one stop before he does. During his time in the facility, development of MagiTech had been slow, which leads to another use for the data: Concepts. Although they agreed to not to introduce technologies, they can borrow mechanics and convert their use for magic theory purposes. Which is how Nana was made– a blend of data and magic, making her the first AI of her kind. Her raw ability to manipulate machines and electricity is scary though. She could combine an iPhone and a potato and make it into a tazer! Whatever an iPhone is. The aquired data quickly pushed their second Magitech project to production phase. The first being computers along with AI producing.
*On his way, Grey Rebl asked a nearby operative to increase security and spread the word. If Swimming felt as though security over the facility was needed, then he should think so for the inside, too. Grey had a certain trust for him.
*Grey Rebl reached his stop. In the room he was in was the labotory.
The AIA Headquarters/Magitech Facility
(Note: Sorry I can't give the you the Magitech Gear Suit right now, but I can give you this)
*Grey Rebl reaches his destination and steps out of the elevator. As he does, the project organizer for that floor comes out to meet him. A brown-maned, earthpony, yellow-coated mare with a clipboard.*
Grey Rebl: So, how's it coming?
Project Organizer: Surprisingly well sir. We'll be able to start testing within a few hours hopefully.
GR: That's good to hear.
*They both turn to look at it, the sound of workers scrambling about the room eats up the silence.*
PO: Although....
GR: What is it?
PO: What... oh, it's nothing.
GR: No, come on. You got something on your mind, then speak up. I'm not gonna bite you.
PO: (sighs for a moment): All right. It's just... (pauses for a moment) I still have no idea how were gonna go about testing this thing without drawing too much attention. If we let it outside, they'll find out about us for sure.
GR: I see.... (there is silence between them for a few moments). Don't worry about that now. Just focus on getting it finished. We'll come up with something.
PO: Yes sir.
*They both look forward to see a large (about the size of a house), four legged, mech with guns, missile launchers, and all kinds of weapons on it. On the size of one of it's forelegs are words reading "Metal Gear Equis"*
-Onboard the Dalek Flagship, The Caesar-
The Bakery Room... or something
*Meanwhile on board the Caesar*
R.A.: *gets finished making his mutha fucking dank as hell cookies* *he then lakes a long, loud sniff to the point where it almost sounded like snorting* Awwww yeah that is what I want to see! ....BRP think fast! *proceeds to launch the entire tray of cookies at BRP*
Me: *snatching the first seven cookies out of the air by catching them between his fingers, I flick one into my mouth, holding it there as I jokingly return fire, slinging my own cookies back towards RA.* Om nom nom (speaking around the cookie) these are really good.
Meanwhile, my HAI interfaces with the security system and begins to record the food fight, blaring The Ultimate Showdown out of the speakers mounted on the walls. Hacker 4 walks in, opens his mouth to get us to come to the bridge, closes his mouth as he looks at us and leaves. Slowly the food fight tapers out as we realize we have either eaten or broken all available ammunition.
Me: We should bake some more cookies. Those were awesome. They held up well too, even while traveling at supersonic speeds.
(As these two happen. If I'm not gonna make any changes to what happens in the comments, I'll put something here to let you know from now on. So yeah, as these two are.)
"Sorry Registered Anonymous, but I can't let you have the plans for the cookie gun right now. It's still in it's prototype stage right now and-"
PINKIE!!!!!!!
"Is there a problem Razor?" (starts blinking rapidly without stopping)
YOU'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS CHAPTER!!!!
"Oh, right (giggles) sorry. (disappears in a pink puff of smoke)."
SIGH!!!!!
Control Room
*BRP's Hacking AI starts streaming the food fight between Registered Anonymous and BRP. All of the Hackers are laughing their asses off. Nana however, remains silent.*
Nana: I don't like you.
Hacking AI: What, why not? (confused)
Nana: Before you got here, I was unique, I was the only artificial intelligence on board this ship.
HAI: Hey wait, hold up. You're still unique. You were designed by the finest of Equestrian scientists using local technology. I'm from another universe in which-
N: I still don't like you.
HAI: Why?
N: Ever since you got here, you've been doing more and more haven't you. You've become fast friends with the hackers. You helped take down the evil Dalek Flagship, and YOU ARE-
HAI: Are you... jealous?
N: What... jealous... me? I'm an artificial intelligence, I do not get.
HAI: Then why even bring this up?
N: Umm...... um...... (silence)
HAI: (Sees her pain, then sighs a computer sigh) Look, I can tell you don't like me.
N: I told you that.
HAI: I know. So why don't we settle this like civilized AI's.
N: How?
HAI: Ever played Tetris?
N: What is Tetris?
HAI: WHAT!!!??? Oh right, different world, probably don't even have videogames yet.
N: What is a videogame?
HAI: Thought so. Well, I am nothing if not a fair AI. I'll show you how to play.
N: Okay....
*And so begins the epic Tetris duel between Nana and the Hacking AI set to this music.* (Grey Rebl, BRP, I am counting on you for this one)
The Bridge
*Commander Swimming Dalek returns to the bridge to escape the epic food fight between Registered Anonymous and BRP, only to see it being streamed across all the monitors.*
Dalek: Would you like a bagel?
Me: BAAAAAAGEEEEEEEL!
*Dalek drone comes up to him.*
Drone: Would you like a bagel?
Swimming Dalek: BAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
-The Enterprise-
The Bridge
*The Enterprise crew get the data on the magic interference from the planet.*
-On the Ebterprise-
"Sulu, you have tha bridge. I need to modify 'er engines and power so we can still work with this interference." Scotty said, waving a clipboard in the air."Aye, Sir." Sulu said, switching positions while Scotty walked out of the room, heading for the engine room.
(Happens just as it is)
