Scootaloo and the girls need me.” >The doctor frowns and nods. “Ah, I was afraid of this. You were showing heightened brain activity. You must have had VERY lucid dreams.” >What’s this thing in your arm? Fuck that thing! You yank it out. “No... no dream... need to go.. need to.” >Damn it brain, why are you being difficult? >.... >Silent treatment eh? >This “doctor” man, holds you down and shouts something to the nurse.

In the other world... WHATEVER THE FUCK! >You hate yourself and hate the world. >Fuck it.

It’s still accessible and quite the hang out. >Someone’s already there. They have a radio blaring a song. Oh well, at least it’s Bowie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--IqqusnNQ&ob=av2n&noredirect=1 >You think about everything you experienced. Everything you remembered. >Poor Scootaloo.... Makes you want to cry more. >The lights of the train appears down the way. >Man it’s moving fast, well it doesn’t need to stop. >What the fuck? >The song hits it’s chorus as you close your eyes. >Take a deep breathe. >Step off the platform. >And whisper her name. >This is what dying feels like   >For the second time in a matter of months, you die. >You gotta say, you’re getting used to it. >I still think you’re a dumbass. >Hey welcome back brain, mind helping me coax my eyes open? >Do better than that.

A one two three four! >Your eyes shoot open and you’re sitting straight up sucking as much breath into your lungs as possible. >Somebody shouts. “He’s up, thanks to the brew in my cup.” >You’re not up for long, you’re immediately tackled by a group of brightly colored objects.... What happened? >Oh right! >After the chorus of “You’re alive!” and “Thank you!” They pile off. >There they all are, your friends. >Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow, and off a ways, too stunned to say anything or even move, Scootaloo. Also, there’s that Zebra. >You start laughing. “I guess you won there AJ... I am yours to do whatever you want.” >She wipes a tear away, “Ok.... What I want you ta do.... Don’ya dare go anywhere. Don die again.” Good enough for you. >”So... what happened?” You ask, seems valid. >Twilight fills you in about sending Celestia.... somewhere, thanks to you. Luna’s taken charge, destroyed the facility, and has gotten quite handy at the day night cycle. >Rainbow brings Scootaloo over to you. >You hold her close. “See Scoots, not even death or a pissed off sun goddess can keep me from you.” >She’s weeping into your chest and you stroke her mane comfortingly. >Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy? >Frankly, you don’t care. >You’re back with her again and you wouldn’t trade that for anything.
