>Ever since you came to Equestria, countless accidents and mishaps have befallen you >It seems that almost once a day, something heavy nearly falls on you, or you almost drown, or you cut yourself in just the right place and nearly bleed out, or whatever >Twilight had you under near-constant surveillance to keep you safe >However, she couldn't keep you safe from herself >While using a spell to close up a wound on your chest from a freak toast-buttering accident, a sudden magical surge courses through her body and into yours, killing you instantly >"Finally! I've been waiting for you for so long!" >The first thing you notice about being dead is the little anorexic pony floating above you with an excited squee >You sit up >You're now a ghost, sitting in your supine, smoking corpse >Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity are all staring in horror at your body >Flutters and Rarara run up to you, freaking out and crying >Twilight doesn't follow >Instead, her shock shifts to angry determination >You can't hear her, but whatever she says makes the girls quickly back away from your body >"Hey, over here! Mister human!" >The sickly-looking filly that you saw earlier calls out to you, and you turn to her >Her eager expression makes you feel uncomfortable "What's going on? Who are you?" >She invades you personal space, and you slide back a bit >"I'm a reaper pony! When I first saw you, I thought you were really cool, and funny, and interesting, a-and cute, and I just wanted to meet you so badly!" >Reaper pony... >...wait... "Are you the one who's been trying to kill me!?" >"Yes!" >You didn't expect such an enthusiastic admission "What the fuck!? Do you know how much pain you've caused me? How much suffering I've endured? How much you've hurt my friends?" >She shrugs >"You were gonna die eventually anyway." "THEN WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU WAIT UNTIL THEN!?" >"Because I wanted to meet you now! You're really great Mister Anon! And, um, I actually really li-" >She freezes >A white vignette begins to grow around the edge of your vision as sensation returns to your limbs >"N-no! Mister Anon, stay with me! Take my hoof!" >You scooch away and try to communicate that you absolutely don't want to stay with her >She doesn't take the hint >Tears begin pouring down her cheeks as something begins to pull you away >She tries to grab your shirt, but she passes through it like a ghost >"Mister Anon! We'll be together again soon! MISTER ANON! I-I LO-" >Your vision goes completely white, and then... >Pain >Pain radiates across your entire body >You sit up and scream due to the intensity of the situation >Your vision returns, and you realize that you're alive, with a stunned Rarity and Fluttershy off to your sides and an angry, crying Twilight directly in front >They close in on you, hugging you and sobbing in relief >"A-anon! We were so afraid! When Twi-I mean, when you, I-I-" >"We thought we had lost you! When I saw that you were not breathing, I nearly-" >"T-that shouldn't have happened! I'm supposed to keep you safe, and I let-" >You cough and weakly shake them to get their attention "R-reaper pony..." >They all quiet down and step back >"...I beg your pardon, dear?" "I met a weird pony, she said she killed me because she liked me or something." >Fluttershy and Rarity look at each other with cocked eyebrows >"N-not that I'm calling you a liar or anything, but I heard that sometimes when po-er, when people have near-death experiences, they can see--" >"I KNEW IT! There's no way one person can have luck as bad as yours!" >Fluttershy jumps at Twilight's interruption >Her eyes glow with dark magic as a hole tears in space beside her to a world of darkness and fire "Twilight? What the-" >"Tartarus. We're going to file a formal complaint" >She gently lifts you into the air and trots towards the portal "W-wait, shouldn't we deal with my mortal wounds first?" >"This won't take long."
