I had gone to bed the other night, just like every night. What’s strange with that? What is strange, is the stabbing pain I felt as I woke up, or I was woken up, by this one pain.
Before I managed to slip the quilt off of myself, the pain suddenly was dulled down and padded away, which is stranger and a bit scaring.
What I found as I finally did get the quilt off of me, is a solid red mass in crimson rubber. Is it a bloody red rubber diaper, how odd. But as long as it takes my pain away, maybe I shouldn’t question it or complain, right.
Then I noticed that my nails had changed into diminutive hooves, basically smaller, but identical versions of my hooves. They now had a pair of boots, looking similar to the once Rarity had been wearing during the cold months of the previous winter, only a red, matching the diapers I wear.
At this point I had slipped out of my bed, my hooves firmly on the floor, feeling silly about the diapers, but grateful for the pain I no longer feel. Now, what was I to do next, breakfast, naturally, what else?
Walking to the door was surprisingly easy, even with the distracting squeaking noises and the insistent suction from what should be considered boots. I had forgotten to look at the sheets in my bed to see if there had been a stain, although the stray balloons in my ceiling refused to go entirely unnoticed, just as I had to afford a few stray glances at the images along the stairs down to the kitchen.
Once my steps had taken me into the kitchen without any incidents, I realised, just how early it was since the sun still isn’t up. As a matter of fact, the moon is firmly up.
Only I couldn’t go back to bed now, wide awake and with an appetite. Rumaging in the dark, well known room, I soon found the pastries of the day before, the once we couldn’t sell, at the very least not at full price. Then I swiped a bottle of cider and pulled my price with me out of the room.
At this early hour, there would be no Pony out, so I simply sat down on the counter and uncapped the bottle. Now I take a good sip, before I peel the muffins I picked for myself, slowly chewing them, with intermittent sips of the cider to wash down the pastries.
These pastries still was yummy, or so I think. Maybe it was the early hour, or the cider, but I had enjoyed my meal royally. Since I had had my breakfast, my remaining sleep is twice cursed to oblivion, I certainly couldn’t sleep after a steady breakfast.
From one thought to the next, I chose to go out. Some fresh air should do me some good. Beside, maybe a moment to myself could be beneficial to my condition as well. There wasn’t a single Pony in the streets at this time of night, not even Princess Luna could be seen. Not that she was expected to be seen in Ponyville of all places.
Once I had cleaned up after my early breakfast I went out, closing the door behind me, no trails of where I had been or what I had been doing. Not that any Pony would care if I had my breakfast, or what I had had for breakfast, unless it ruined my mood, or stepped on a Pony’s hooves. This case wasn’t one of either.
A chilly wind could be felt and I hear the eery whistling noises it caused, not that it bothered me. I can laught at the growls of a Timber Wolf, what is the chilly nightly wind in comparison, right?
After a few minutes, I managed to pass the charred remains of the now dead oak that had been the town library of Ponyville, where Twilight Sparkle used to live, from the day she was stationed in our village, until the fateful day when Tirek burnt it to the ground with a single burst, just to get to her.
At first it made me sad and tears came fourth, demanding to flow, before it hit me, she made it out with both Spike and Owlowiscious, Spike even managed to save his Peewee, so just a few books was actually really lost. She even got a new home the very same day, just after Tirek had been defeated and sent back to Tartarous.
Seeing the Carousel Boutique did also bring me light to my thoughts. Rarity is commonly such a creative Pony, even if she can be something of a Drama-Queen and fuzz over none issues on occasions. On the other rubbery hoof, I can be just as great a Drama-Queen, if and when I am in the mood.
Padded up in the fashion, I wasn’t in the mood to See Rarity right now. Maybe Twilight Sparkle could help? As an Alicorn, she was the best chance, at this time. I didn’t think Zecora, our local Zebra was my best option, besides, her hut is located in the Everfree forest and did not feel like the most convenient place for me to go right now.
I like Zecora, she just isn’t the Pony I expect to give me the help I need right now. Zebra or Alicorn, what’s the difference? They are both my friends. Then again, most every Pony is my friend. I love having friends and making them smile, that is my call in life.
At this point, I was bouncing towards the destination of choice, the new castle of Ponyville and the home of one of my closest friends, Twilight Sparkle. I am happy she chose to live among us, that one day after we helped Luna Lulamoon come over her problems as Nightmare on the summer sun celebration. Would have sucked, if she had chosen to go back to the Royal castle of Canterlot, as fascinated of it as Rarity may be.
Only now, her castle is further from where I live, than her library in the oak tree had been, even if it is close than the castle in Canterlot.
In the end, I guess it did not take me all that long to go there. I am not one to mope around, even if I do have one of these dark and lonely days, from time to time. I do make my best to avoid them.
Once I finally did get to the castle, I walk up to the door and give it a good firm knock, announcing my presence at her home.

Is this pony on her period?
5250012 That is what she thinks, which seems fairly reasonable at the time.
5250537 My favorite part is that the title has a spelling error.
5250012 Ponies don't have periods like humans do.
5258250 no of course not, but do they bleed?
5258260 I don't know what they do exactly, but I know they don't bleed.
5258250 Ponies, as in Horses doesn't have Periods, like Humans do, but they do have the same cycle, even if it affected them differently.
Ponies in Equestria are not the Horses we ride.
5258260 Bleed, aside from when they hurt themselves?
5258338 They get in Heat.
5258434 I would hope you know just as much as the next guy.
Not sure why we differentiate the names and expressions for Animals like Ponies, if it is in fact the same thing.
Since this story is set in Alternative Universe and is about Anthropomorphic Ponies, I hope it is safe to make a few comparisons and draw conclusions based on what I can see.
Now I hope this commotion is based on enjoying the story, more then a silly controversy.
5258511 for me I just wanna know about what I am reading.
5258434 I'm a guy with two sisters, I don't know why your kind bleeds, but I know that when that time comes around you head for the fuckin' hills. My dad said that you should never trust anything that bleeds for four days and lives.
5258529 Sometimes more than four days but yes. it has to do with the making of babies , you don't wanna know, trust me. Avoid us when on a visit from aun flo though
5258555
THANKS GOOGLE!
5258579 I. Said. You.dont. Want. To. Know.
5258595 I's the internet, I can know everything!!!!
5258522 That is quite reasonable, what's fun in reading if you have no idea what it is about?
5258579 This should be known by all, no reason to hide such a simple truth of who we are.
Knowing makes it easier to understand one another, after all.
5258787 Good point. Good Bloody point.
5258907
You British?
5259023 No, but I am such a whovian tha it is hard to tell the difference. Also, I like the way 'Bloody 'Ell' sounds.
5259056 Doctor Who, eh? Only was a few episodes, not bad, but I refuse to watch any more unless I can watch it from the beginning. And I don't feel like buying every season.
5259088 If you have a hulu account go look up old doctor who or doctor who. I believe it is all of it, or as much as could be found. The new stuff with christopher ecklesn and david tenant, as well as matt smith is on netflix, but all ofit is on hulu..
5259188 Doesn't Hulu cost money?
5259088 I was enjoying the good Dr. for he time I had the opportunity, along with a few other shows.
Oh well, colourful language and expressions certainly do have their time and place ..
5259299 Speaking of great shows, a good friend of mine died recently. His mane was Zoboomafoo, loved kiwi.
5259355 I am sorry for your loss. Here is a giant cookie. Yes, it does, but only for a membership and so forth, not buying ecah season. Last checked was seeven dollars a month, if too expensive then wait till it goes down.
5259495
PPFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!! Too much! I'll just wait for the re-runs to cycle through.
5259714 Oh, but reruns suck!
5259855 Same thing, just... late.
5260011 I cannot handle lateness. I don't like it, not in the least.
5261020 Well at least I'd get to watch it.
5261511 Good point
5250537 She's probably going through something similar. This is tagged "Anthro" so any guesses are complicated at best.
5314134 Just that most of us has this less painful than she has it in the story.
Anthro feels closer to the subject. She is still the same Pony, just in an upright Posture.
Some of your guesses may be inspiring, in any event.
