Tentative Pet Pony

by Ponyess

Shocked: 13

I had just realised just how much I had enjoyed the grass he had planted, for what now appears to be for my benefit. Is this my shock, or is it the fact that he had planned it all along. I had seen when he planted it several weeks ago. He had boasted about how he got a hoof of it.

Apparently, this was all I had to eat, but at least it tasted better than most I had been served even on the finer restaurants. There was no escaping the realisation, as embarrassing as it was.

Wouldn't everypony recognise me, looking like this, while walking on all fours? I still have the cutie mark fully visible on my flanks. There would be no end to this mortification, I just knew it, having Diamond Tiara at my side did not lessen it in the least, it only made it all the worse since she suffered the same fate. Now there was none to stand up for us.

How long could we possibly suffer the fate he had lined out for the two of us, or would there be others just like us.

What made it so confusing is how good it feels with this grass under my hooves. I can't get up on my hind legs, but right now it feels too good with the grass under my hooves to care. Only I couldn't express how it felt, though I guess she felt the same, so I didn't really have to.

Every time I open my mouth, the only sounds passing my lips are these whinnies, nothing but whinnies. Like a pony? I guess I had to be one, in this case.

Why had the treatment felt like such a treat in the first place, in the beginning, only to turn into this, a prison and a punishment.

I can not speak, I can not walk, even if it saved me from school, but I'm still a mere pony, rather than the daughter of a wealthy stallion. How could it compare. That's well beyond me.

On all fours I can both trot and gallop to my heart's content, just as I can make the cutest of whinnies, even if they're abhorrent to me at this time. I just can't reconcile with the situation, or position I had found myself in. How could I?

How could he have put me in the position, what could possibly have made him do it to me. It could make no sense to me. Even if I'm no longer alone, which was a small relief, despite who it is and what it represented to me.

How strange, I constantly feel hungry, I never did eat more than my measured meals before, and I felt quite happy leaving the table. Now I am eating more or less constantly.

Oh, but wait, there is clover growing in the grasses. That's a welcome surprise to me. I had never expected to enjoy them this much, and they really do taste great. Then I found a few daisies in a corner. Just the glory of it. I guess I had actually enjoyed them, even before this fate had befallen upon me.

Such a twisted fate, for a little fillie like me. How could I ever be expected to make it now?
