>Be Anon
>Be the youngest of the shy family
>Be a pegasus
>Be a little little pegasus
>Playing with blocks
>Gonna build the biggest bridge ever and show mom and dad
>Suddenly they're knocked over
>Your kingdom, in ruins
>Your subjects, broken
>Only one pony in this house is enough of a lead hoof to knock over blocks
>"Hey mom!? We're out of my favourite juice! Can you fly to the store and get more!?"
>You look up the pale blue leg at a face you've wanted to hit since you could first fathom wanting something
>Zephyr Breeze
>Your older brother
>Bane of your existence
>Bane of this family's existence if you're honest
>You're not sure if he's unaware of how much the rest of the family hates him, or if he's just THAT stupid
>Nonetheless, he ruined your playtime
>That was sacred, right up there with naptime
>You swiftly kick his heavy hooves away a get back to rebuilding
>"Oh, hey little bro, didn't see you. How's the weather down there?"
>You groan at the joke
>He's told it a million times
>"You playin' here all by yourself?" He asks, pointing to the destruction he carelessly caused
"I was." You emphasise the past tense, but it, like many things, goes over his head
>"Well hey, why don't I play with you a little? You know, get some brotherly bonding time in" He tries to wrap a wing around you which you swiftly avoid, shoving him away
>Despite being smaller than him, he flops over like a wet noodle anyway
>"What is your problem today Anon!?" He asks looking at you confused
>As if he didn't just wreck your stuff
"My problem is you!" You said pointing a hoof in his face. "You ruined my blocks!"
>He scoffs at your words. "Blocks." Then goes off further into the house.
"Hey!" You yell down the hall at him. "Leave mom alone today, she's sick!"
>"Fresh air will help her feel better."
>If he actually-
>He did
>He actually guilt tripped your sick mother into getting him his stupid juice
>Thankfully Shy got them at the door and put a stop to it
>She flew out to get the juice while you brought your mom back into bed and tucked her in
>You're quite a family, you five
>Your sister got mom's coat and a lighter mane, Dad unfortunately passed his genes to Zephyr
>Then there was you, a green mix of your mom's yellow and your dad's blue
"Can I get you anything else mom?"
>She chuckles softly at you. "Oh, you don't need to do anymore, sweetheart, you and flu- you three have done enough for me."
>If you had to say one flaw about your mom while held at swordpoint is that she gives Zephyr too much credit
"Zephyr almost made things worse" You grumble as you check her cover and pillows once more
>"He... tries." Your mom offers
"He should try harder." You try to just mutter the words but from your mom's laugh you guess it wasn't quiet enough
>You worry briefly when her laugh turns to harsh coughs but she waves you off
"I'll at least get you more water."
>Before you can fly off, you're gently guided into your mom's chest in a hug
>She whispers softly
>"I'm so proud of you, Anon, you're already such a big colt. I'll have to fight off mares with a stick when you're older."
>This makes you laugh as you try to squirm out of her grip
"Mom! I don't even like fillies, they're gross!" It was true, every colt knew this
>"Oh? But I see you hang out with Rainbow Dash a lot."
"She's the most annoying one!" You argue back.
>With a final laugh she let's you go
>As you get out of the room you bump into Zephyr
"Oh, it's you" You say with a roll of your eyes. "What do you want, Zephyr?"
>"I need to talk to mom." He tries to push past you but you place a hoof to his chest.
"Why?"
>"I wanna ask when she thinks she'll be better. They're offering piano lessons on the other side of Cloudsdale tomorrow and I want to know if she can take me."
>You have not yet found a dictionary, thesaurus, or lexicon that contains the words that describe what you think of your brother
>But you'll find the words
>Even if you have to invent the language
>You rise to his face
>Normally it'd be less effective with how he
