Pan had a smile on his face as he watched the three fillies lying as close to each other as the chains would let them go. The innocent and adorable sight of the three sleeping little fillies warmed his heart and made him coo in delight. The brown stallion had a bucket of cold water and was holding it in his mouth by the handle. Around him were multiple other various containers of water. A barrel, a beach bucket, a tin bucket, a few plastic baby baths and the pale in his mouth. Now holding it with both his hoofs he splashed the fillies with the water making them all jump, scream then scurry up against the wall farthest from him, Sweetie Belle limping.

"You're all so dirty, I need to clean you." He said with a smile, picking up the nearest pale of water. Scootaloo screamed at him, "when are you going to let us go?!" Pan's ears perked up. He looked at the three as if they hurt his feelings. "Why would you want to go? You're not having fun?" he asked with a frown. Applebloom started crying again; Sweetie Belle was hugging the yellow earth pony. "I don't want anypony to leave anyway..." he said sounding a bit bashful. He splashed another bucket of water on Scootaloo, she began shaking in the coldness of the air and water. "Because I've fallen in love with each of you" Pan said blushing a little.

Sweetie Belle felt her stomach churn, her eyes stinged with the tears and she gritted her teeth at his sickening words. Applebloom snapped, "well if y'all love us so much why don't y'all let us go?!"

Pan smiled at Applebloom and walked over. She was still in Sweetie's embrace. Pan put his hoofs between their bodies and pulled them apart and picked up Applebloom like she was a baby. Applebloom was too scared to move. The stallion almost scrawny arms wrapped around her and held her as if the was the world's most precious jewel, as if she was his whole world. He lifted her up just enough for him to gently kiss her on the forehead. As his lips gently touched her forehead Applebloom let out a whimper.

The stallion reached over and dragged over the nearest baby bath. "You'll all learn to love me back," Pan smiled, "because love must be mutual for it to work out." Scootaloo's eyes were wide open "He actually thinks he loves us, doesn't he?" She thought to herself. "Wh- Are you planning on marrying us or something!? You're sick! What's wrong with you!?" Scootaloo screamed. Pan chuckled and held up Applebloom like he did Sweetie Belle before. Initially, Applebloom got scared that he was going to shove something inside her genitals as well. The yellow earth pony began to squirm and try to get out of his grasp. He held her up over the baby bath. With a smile, he dropped her and she fell into the bath. The water was so cold it knocked the air right out of her. She was completely submerged in water, the stinging icey pain was almost unbearable and she instantly poked her head out of the water and gasped for air. Her lungs were instantly filled with the freezing cold water. Once her head popped up Pan instantly put his hoof on her head and forced her back down.

Applebloom could feel herself panicking even more, her little hooves kicking as the thrashed around underwater. Pan smiled as he held her down under the water. He looked over at the two little fillies, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Both were screaming and shouting at him to stop. Both the young fillies voices have become hoarse after screaming nonstop for the past few days. Their eyes were stinging from the tears that were still coming out.

Pan kept his eyes on the two young fillies, giving them his usual modest like smile. Blinking a few times and letting his grin get bigger, not for a moment breaking eye contact with the two. Applebloom was still underwater, her body was getting weaker but her heart was still racing. Trying to thrash more and fight for her life. Pan was still effortlessly keeping her underwater. Finally Applebloom stopped moving. She felt her body grow even more tired and she knew this was going to be it. This is how she was going to die. As her vision began to fade she imagined herself back at the farm. She saw herself getting tucked into bed by Applejack, Applejack giving her a small kiss on the cheek before walking out.
