You awaken in a dark place in the softest bed you had ever felt, you roll over and nearly fall out of the bed. Your flail around in the all consuming fluff but all you accomplish is irritating your wounds. You stop and take a more deliberate approach to getting out of bed and this time you make it to your feet.
The windows in the room let in a bright midday light. You collect your clothes off the ground and your wadded bandaged hands and broken ribs make getting dressed a very delicate process. You wonder if Rarity will tolerate you dressing the way you used to.
You exit the room and descend down the stairs towards Carousel Boutique storefront. You walk through the kitchen that had looked like it had been ground zero of Sweetie Belle’s cooking. You chuckle to yourself and limp into the storefront to find it empty, with only a group of fashionable mannequins to accompany you. You take a look at yourself in the multiple mirror stage thing that Rarity had set up for customers. You are battered and bruised, you short hair is a complete mess, your shirt is very poorly buttoned up and you are clearly limping.
It had been a few weeks since your encounter with Tirek and you managed to talk yourself into a community service role. Princess Celestia herself had sentenced you to be the first knight in Princess Twilight’s guard corps, Twilight has yet to come up with a better name. When you step off the stage you hear Rarity come down the stairs in a panic.
“Silver! Please you are not healed enough to be walking!” you turn around and open your arms.
“I’ll be okay Rares.” she embraces you in an attempt to shoulder some of your weight. You lightly kiss her forehead before pushing her away. “Look I can stand on my own.”
“You shouldn’t even be out of the hospital, let alone walking.”
“All Tirek did was beat me up a little.”
“He also drained all your life force.”
“And Twilight invented her new spell just in time.”
“That wasn’t even a guarantee, Silver please I just want you to be more careful.”
“I’ll try but I can promise you one thing.” you step closer to her and grasp her hands. “I am never going to leave you.” she looks you in the eyes with a mix of exasperation and relief.
“You are worse than Rainbow sometimes but I still love you.” she leans in to kiss you but before your lips make contact the doorbell rings. She settles for quickly pecking your lips before leaving to answer the door.
You try to guess who would be at the door but your questions gets answered by a woman in a business suit barging into Rarity’s home. She has pink and black hair and is very bad at concealing weapons because you notice a pistol holster in her jacket.
“Silver Creek.”
“Yeah?”
“We have a problem that we need your help with.” She motions outside, where you see Rarity recoiling in horror.
You approach in the door in curiosity. There is a mob of skeletons aimlessly wandering the town, not really harming anybody. The town is going absolutely insane and are causing going to level the town in a blind panic. The screaming and crashing only intensifies as time goes on.
“Rarity I know Twi is out of town but gather your friends and try to calm the town down. I’ll take... errr.”
“Sweetie Drops.”
“Her.” you point to your new friend “We will go and investigate the source of these Skeletons, they look mostly harmless I’ll be fine.” Rarity sighs in exasperation and steps towards you. She kisses you as deeply and passionately as she can, you follow suit and let her lead but before you can get to enjoying it she pulls away.
“Silver, just be careful.”
“I will.” You summon Sombra to you hands and jog off in the direction the skeletons were coming from.
