I woke up this morning by the sun’s rays. I turned to my side, and as expected, I found lavender Alicorn sleeping beside me. It was great to just wake up with the one you love beside you. While I thought of this, Twilight began to wake up. When she opened those beautiful, lavender eyes, she gave me a smile.
“Good morning, Twi” I said.
“Morning Flutters. Are you ready for a new day?”
“When you are” I said before getting up and she followed suit.
Why were we in the same bed? Well, we just decided to have a little sleepover. Nothing much, we just a had a good chat, and fell asleep. And because Spike didn’t want to leave Twilight, he came along. Although, I’m guessing he just wanted to spend some time with Bunny. Twilight thought the same way when he brought along a story book from the castle’s bookshelves to read to Bunny.
When we came downstairs, we saw the cutest thing after last night. There, on the couch, were a sleeping Bunny and Spike! Both of them were in a sitting position. Bunny’s head was pillowed on Spike’s shoulder. Spike had a book on his lap. From what we could tell was that they must’ve fallen asleep while reading the story.
“Hey, Flutters?”
“Hmm?”
“Wanna wake them up?”
I chuckled. “I’ll get the camera”
Believe it or not, Bunny always makes me and Twilight blush from embarrassment when she says a joke for us. She is afterall, mischievous at times. And she is seven years old, making her a playful child. And this pose she and Spike were in, totally priceless! Atleast we have a way to make them feel red in the face for once.
“Spike? Spike, wake up” Twilight whispered, tapping the dragon.
Spike groaned from the tapping. But when he heard something flashed, he opened his eyes. He was staring with eyes wide because I just took a picture.
“What’s with the picture?” he asked.
I giggled, “Look who’s on your shoulder”
Spike raised an eyebrow, before his went wide from the purring sound Bunny made. He looked to his side to see my apprentice, sleeping on his shoulder. He blushed from embarrassment as me and Twilight broke into laughter.
He tried to shake Bunny awake, “Bunny! Bunny, wake up!”
My apprentice just opened her beady eyes, and rubbed one of them. “Yes, Spike?”
Before long, she noticed the position she was in. She immediately got off, and scampered to the other side of the couch. “Oops! Sorry about that, Spike!”
“No worries! You fell asleep while I read the story and I didn’t even bother!” his face was now as red as a tomato.
After that, we all had our breakfast. I fed the animals while Twilight kept laughing at the picture I took of Spike and Bunny. Spike kept rambling and making up excuses, even with his face already red. Bunny just watched the whole scenario while she fed Angel. Oddly enough, Bunny didn’t even have a hint of blush on her. Maybe another side effect of being Love Immune?

“Okay, I guess I’ll see you later then, right?” Twilight asked me when we approached her castle.
“You know it” I said before giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“I’m still getting used to your new confidence”
“I love you, Twilight”
“I love you too, Fluttershy”
We both shared a good kiss before pulling away, considering that since Bunny and Spike were just here, guess who’s gonna throw up? Twilight and Spike went back into the castle. I walked Bunny with a leash on our way to the Police. Why were we at Police? Well…
“You ready for the first day of your job, Bunny?”
“You bet”
“Just remember, rely on your Tracking Senses but keep your true self to a minimum”
“I know”
Yes, that’s right. Bunny has a job at the Police Department, as a Sniffer Rabbit. We were fully aware that since she always had this energy in her, she should have a way to bring it out, but in a way that doesn’t expose her cover. And since the Police was in need of more Sniffer animals, and she has her Tracking Senses, she would fit the job well. They found it weird at first, for her to be in the job since she was a rabbit. But when they put her through her through the test to see if she qualified, she passed with flying colors and set a new record in the Department. They decided to make her the partner of a rookie so he can get some help.
“Ah, there you are, Miss Fluttershy. Have you brought Bunny?” the chief asked.
“I have, come on, Bunny” I took the leash off my apprentice. She nuzzled my hoof before facing the chief.
She saluted, “Sniffer Rabbit Bunny, reporting for duty”
“Just in time, young Sniffer. Thunder Cloud, fall in”
A dark grey Pegasus with a red mane came in. He wore the uniform a rookie of the police normally does. His eyes were a shade of green. He gave the chief a salute, “Rookie Thunder Cloud, reporting for duty”
“Rookie and Sniffer, at ease” he said as they both dropped their arms from the salute. “Alright, remember Rookie, you and your Sniffer are supposed to work together. Try to get to know each other more”
“Yes, sir” Thunder Cloud then approached my apprentice. He carefully stuck out his hoof, and then looked to me as if asking for permission.
I nodded, “Go ahead, you’ll see how much fun she can be once you get to know her”
Thunder Cloud then nervously came near enough to pet Bunny. I could tell he was scared when he closed his eyes as his hoof finally reached Bunny’s head. “Good rabbit” he whispered.
Before he could react, Bunny licked him in the face and began to act like a happy dog.
“See? She’s friendly, but can be the opposite when needed” I said.
Thunder Cloud began to get used to Bunny. “I can see why she protects you”
I nodded before I pet Bunny and headed to the door. “I’ll see you later, okay?”
I walked, knowing while Bunny had her job, I had to spend time with Rarity. Sure, I got used to having my apprentice with me so long that I almost feel empty without her, but she will be fine.
“Fluttershy, wait!”
I turned my head around to see Bunny running to me. I was confused for that moment, what’s with her? Was she feeling upset? My thoughts were interrupted when she took jumped and placed what I thought was a necklace on me. It was a rather weird one, really. It resembled a red pepper, but it was smaller and had a few black markings on it.
“It’s one of my whistles” she said as it hid itself perfectly, as though camouflaged. “If you need any help, or ran into trouble, just blow it, and I will come”
I looked at Bunny, and I could tell she was feeling fearful about something. I could tell she just wanted to keep me safe.
I gave her a slight pet on the head to calm her. “It’s okay, Bunny. And thank you””
________________________________________
I began to trot to where me and rarity always spent our day bonding, Ponyville Spa. As I walked there, I kept wondering, why did Bunny seem afraid? What did she mean by trouble? Was she having another Vision that meant something bad? Whatever it is, I sure hope this whistle comes in handy. As I approached the door, I had an odd feeling. It was almost as though somepony was watching me. I turned around, and nopony was there. I decided to shrug it off and enter the Spa.
I was greeted by Aloe. “Oh! Good morning, Miss Fluttershy!”
“Good morning, Aloe. Where’s Rarity? Am I late?”
“Actually, you’re just in time. Miss Rarity just took a break and went to the bathroom, but she said you could go in the hot tub without her for now. She even told us to use this little Fur Conditioner; she said she wants to make sure your coat is in tip-top shape”
“Well, I guess it’s nice to see that, although I’ll be fine without it”
“Oh, but she insists, Miss Fluttershy”
“Well, okay” and with that, Aloe began to pour the contents in the water. It was a beautiful pink, and smelled sweet. I began to relax in the smell as Aloe walked away.
I heard her whisper, “Sweet dreams, Miss Fluttershy”
I was surprised at that. What did she mean? “Aloe…” but I didn’t get to finish my sentence when the smell of the liquid kicked in, and I fell asleep.
________________________________________
I woke up groggy and groaning. I had no idea how long was I out, nor did I care much. All I remember was Aloe whispering me sweet dreams, the smell of a pink Fur Conditioner, and falling asleep. As I opened my eyes, my vision was at first blurry. But then, as it began to clear up, I felt a small tingle of fear in me. I tried to shake it off, but something else behind me just made that harder. I looked behind me to see I was strapped in place on a steel table. It bonded up my hooves and neck so I couldn’t turn around.
Where am I, and why am I strapped on a table?
It didn’t take long for me to look around and see where I was. From the looks of it, it was a basement. It was dark and I barely saw anything. I could only make out one silhouette. I watched as the taller one approached me. Only when they got closer was when I realized who it was.
“Hello, darling! So glad you could make it!”
It was Rarity. For a moment, I felt calm because I know Rarity. Maybe she knows what happened.
“Rarity, where am I? Why can’t I move?” I asked.
“Well, that’s because you’re strapped down, darling”
“But, why? Rarity, what’s going on?”
“Oh, Fluttershy, you’re always the curious one! No worries, I just need your help so may be able to chat with Twilight”
I felt fear in my spine again. Why would she trap me if she was after Twilight? “Wait, why Twilight?”
“Because, my darling Fluttershy, well, I need to make my point”
I was struggling again. “Rarity, come on, this isn’t funny.”
“Then why were you laughing?” Before I could answer, Rarity grabbed the cloth and whipped it off the cart. On the cart was a tray containing various sharp medical tools and knives, carefully organized and wickedly sharp, as well as a large medical bag.
I was now in full panic mode. I was starting to hyperventilate. My mind raced as I tried to reason with the marshmallow pony. “You can’t do this, Rarity! I’m your friend! Rarity please, I’m sorry if I did anything to you. I didn’t mean it. Please let me go. I promise I won’t tell anybody.”
“Oh, Fluttershy, we can’t turn back now.”
I was tearing up. How could this be happening?
“Aww, don’t be sad, Fluttershy,” said Rarity.
I didn’t have anything to say. I just sobbed and writhed in my tight bonds. Was this the same Unicorn I used to be close with? I couldn’t even tell if she was still my friend. I didn’t even have the time to react when I felt something cold and sharp against my skin. It felt…pointy. When I looked down, my eyes widened in horror to the object. It was a scalpel.
“Rarity, what are you doing?” I asked, fear in my voice. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t.
“Oh, this should work well” she said, before I felt the blade cut through my flesh. She went directly for my cutie mark. The marshmallow pony gripped a scalpel in the cleft of her hoof and walked over to my right flank. Without any flair, Rarity placed the blade an inch above my cutie mark and began a circular cut around it. I shouted in pain and tried desperately to pull away, but the braces held me still. Finishing the incision, Rarity grabbed a curved skinning knife from the tray. Screwing up her face in concentration, she worked it under my skin and sliced the hide away from the muscle. I ground my teeth as I tearfully watched my flesh peel off. Rarity then moved to the other side and repeated the process on my left flank. Once she had finished, Rarity held up both cutie marks in front of me. I just whimpered. My thighs burned like nothing I had felt before. She then put both down on the table
“Rarity, please no” I tried through the pain. “Why are you doing this?”
“Because, dear. You know we each have our little secrets of why we are what we” she then came closer, like in a position where one could pin you. I felt a shiver up my spine when I heard her whisper in my ear, “And here’s my little secret; I want Twilight”
She…wanted my marefriend? I mean, I noticed her interest in Twilight before during the “Fanciness Elevated” Party. But, she would go so far as to kill one of her own friends?! It’s just not like her. She’s the Bearer of the Element of Generosity, and my best friend. But, from the look in her eyes, she was really serious.
“The bleeding in your flank will eventually kill you, and then, Twilight shall be mine!” Rarity cackled out. “And don’t worry, darling. I’ll make sure none of your fur goes to waste when I turn it into a coat”
My head snapped up. “A coat?! But, why would you turn me into a coat?!”
“Well, Fluttershy, it’s obvious that there are some things which Twilight likes about you physically. I, for one, believe she just loves you for your color. Come to think of it, apart from Bob Bon who is already dating Lyra, you seem to be the only one who is yellow. And Twilight just adores Celestia, whose sun give off that majestic yellow light. So, it makes sense that, she only loves you for your color because you remind her of Celestia’s sun”
I tried to talk back at her, but between the bleeding out and what she said, it was getting hard. “That’s…not true”
“Oh, darling, it’s too hard to accept what is true”
I was beginning to doubt about what she was saying. I used to look upon Rarity as my best friend. But now, all I see is a murderess who is crazy enough to pull off such a crime to obtain love from somepony who already was the lover of another. It was hard to accept this; this mare was no longer my friend. I felt myself weaken as I bled. It was all too much. I’m sorry, everypony. I’m sorry, Poison Rose, Rainbow, Twilight, and Bunny…
Bunny, I thought. The whistle she gave me!
I knew I felt too weak from the amount of blood lose, but I just had this one last chance. This was my last hope. I saw the whistle just made it seen, as though it was aware of the situation. It took some trying and struggling as Rarity watched in amusement. But I finally got the end of the whistle in my mouth. With a strong breath, I blew on it for as hard as I could.
“Nice try, but it’s too deep down here that nopony could hear you” Rarity mused.
But she was so wrong when there were knocks on the door. It was very fast and loud, like there was an angry mob outside. After a second of pounding, it broke open, sending large parts of the door flying. It was a relief to see who came; the Police, and Bunny with them. I can tell they were all led by her when she heard it. I wasn’t able to hear and see much of what happened next as I felt weaker.
The last thing I knew was I felt paws trying to break my bonds, and a voice calling to me,
Fluttershy, hang on…Hang on
And then I blacked out.
________________________________________
I was sure I was a goner by now. I woke up in a room of pitch black and darkness, nopony was there except me. I opened my eyes to see I was no longer in the basement, just a dark room. I looked to see that my thighs were no longer cut up, but fully healed. I looked around to see a Skeleton-like creature in a suit, Skeleton Jack, Bunny’s uncle. Was I dead? Was he about to guide me to where I’m supposed to pass on?
He shook his head, “No, not yet. You must return”
I felt relieved from that. It wasn’t my time yet, thank goodness. Skeleton Jack then seemed to point at right behind me. I turned around to see what he meant. I looked down to see what looked like the inside of a hospital room. I, or rather my body, was on hospital bed, eyes closed. There was an IV drip attached to one of my hooves, and a screen on the other side which seemed to show my heartbeat. I also noticed I wasn’t alone since two were in the room with me, Twilight and Bunny.
Bunny was in a praying position in a corner with a cross. She seemed very upset and looked almost as though she choked back tears and sobs every now and then. I could tell she was praying that I would wake up.
Twilight had her head pillowed on the bed, her front hooves covering her face as she cried. She looked as though she was already mourning. I just wanted to go right to her now and hug her.
I looked to Skeleton Jack, as I wanted to go back. He nodded with a smile. All I saw next was a blinding light.
________________________________________
I opened my eyes as the light swarmed my vision. It took me a while to get accustomed to the light. I finally got see what was going on. The entire room looked exactly as the way I saw it from above. I looked to my right to find Twilight, still sobbing her eyes out. I wanted to move my hoof to comfort her, but even that took some trying. I noticed then that my skin turned a bit pale, probably from the whole ordeal. I finally got to raise my hoof and caress Twilight’s mane.
“T-Twilight?” I whispered my voice a bit raspy.
Her ears seemed to perk up at that. She turned her head up as I pulled my hoof back. “Fluttershy, you’re alive!” she said as she hugged me.
“Mistress!” I heard Bunny’s voice call out as I felt her hug me too. “Oh, praise the Lord. I’m gonna go call the others”
I felt Twilight release me as Bunny ran out of the room and practically down the hall. Twilight smiled as she laid me back down. I always loved it when she held me, but, I kept thinking about what Rarity mentioned earlier.
So, it makes sense that, she only loves you for your color because you remind her of Celestia’s sun, her voice still echoed in my head.
“Is something wrong, Flutters?”
I looked up to see Twilight’s face, full of concern. I knew rarity was mad at that point, but I began to question myself if Twilight only loved me for my color. Let’s not forget, I was about to made into a coat.
“See girls?” Bunny’s voice rang out. “I told you she made it!”
Twilight and I turned to see the rest of the gang.
Spike wiped a sweat of fear from his head. “Phew! For a second there, I thought you were a goner! You should’ve seen how upset everypony was!”
Rainbow flew right above us. “Oh I’m so glad I didn’t lose my little sister”
“Ya’ll should’ve seen how soft Dashie got when she thought ya’ll were about to die” Applejack smirked.
“I would’ve cried for a week if you went bye-bye!” Pinkie cried out.
My head shot up at that. “What do you mean, I was about to die?”
Bunny seemed to just appear to my side. “Well, about that, you see…”
________________________________________
“…and then that was when we all got here” Bunny finished.
“Well, that explains it all. Aloe and the others were part of it all along?” I asked.
Bunny nodded. “Now, Ponyville Spa has been closed down for good and all the employees went to jail along with Rarity, all lost their license for spa duty. My guess is that there are gonna be a lot of ponies who are gonna be cranky for a massage”
Everypony giggled at Bunny’s joke.
“One thing I don’t get though, WHY DID SHE TRY TO TURN YOU INTO A COAT?!” my apprentice raised her arms wide to express.
I looked down at that; the reason why was making me upset and unsure now.
“Oh! I’m sorry about that”
“No, Bunny it’s okay”
“Fluttershy, what’s wrong? Do you know why?” Twilight asked me.
I looked away as to try and avoid the question.
My efforts proved futile when Twilight’s hoof lifted my face and caused me to look at her. “Fluttershy, please. You can tell us”
I gave up. “She said that she was gonna turn me into a coat so she can wear me and get you love her”
“WHAT?!”
“She told me you only love me because I was the only single mare left who was color yellow. And that you only loved me for my color because it reminded you of Princess Celestia”
“Fluttershy…”
“I’m trying to believe that it’s not true, but it keeps ringing in my head”
“Fluttershy…”
I stopped my rambling and faced Twilight; she had a sad look in her eyes. I had no time to react when she pulled me in for a kiss. It was a very long one and she closed her eyes and wouldn’t let go. I found it a surprise, but I soon closed my eyes too and joined her for the kiss. I don’t even care right now that Bunny was covering her eyes or that everypony else was watching. After a few seconds, we pulled away from the kiss.
“She’s wrong, Flutters” Twilight said, her hoof caressing my mane. “I love you for who you are, not just how you look. I love every part that makes you you. You’re sweet, you’re caring, and you’re kind. If anypony just tells you I love you physically in any way, they’re just jealous”
I blinked some tears off. “Thank you, Twi”
“Are you guys done?!” Bunny’s voice rang out, catching our attention. We looked to see she was still covering her eyes. “I don’t want to puke again!”
I chuckled at my apprentice’s behavior. I moved my hoof to her, until I was within reach of her neck. Without warning, I scratched the back of Bunny’s neck. She flinched a bit, but began to enjoy it. I rubbed against her neck, then the back of her ear, before I went in for the best part, an area under her head. When I did, her eyes went wide and she fell on my side. She purred as her eyes closed and she smiled, she looked like she was taking a nap.
“What did you do?” Twilight asked, trying not to giggle.
“Oh, that? It’s just a little thing I just recently found out about her. I gave her a belly rub one time and tried to see how she reacts in various spots when scratched. Eventually I found that if I rub on her on the neck, the back of her ear, and then a certain part of bellow her head, she goes into that Happy Limbo for a while. She’s fully conscious, and can sense Visions when needed”
Spike seemed to approach the now Happy Limbo Bunny. “Can you show me how to do that?”
“Maybe some other time”
“Um, excuse me?” Nurse Redheart’s voice rang out. “Am I interrupting something?”
“No, it’s fine” Twilight said.
“Good. Miss Fluttershy, may I check your wound?”
I nodded a little. She went over to me and slightly lifted the blanket. I can tell she gasped a little.
“Everything okay, Nurse?” Rainbow asked.
“One second” she said before darting outside. A moment later, she came back in. “Miss Sparkle, may talk to you for a moment?”
Twilight nodded. She gave me a kiss on the cheek before leaving. We couldn’t really hear what was going on from the other side, but it seemed serious. I tried to keep my mind off it by focusing on something else. And that was when I heard something.
I turned my head to the side to see Bunny, at first she was just purring like normal. But then, I noticed she began to look upset, like she felt something wrong. I thought she may just be having a bad dream, but then she began to move about, as though squirming. She even mumbling something, and holding her head.
“Bunny, are you okay?” I whispered as soft as I could to try not to frighten her so much. She only wiggled and whimpered in response.
Spike approached the Limbo alien cautiously, before putting his claw on her back. “Bunny, what’s going on? Are you having a Vision about Rarity?”
At the mention of the Unicorn’s name, Bunny’s ears perked up and she opened her eyes wide. What’s worse, she began to growl like a wild animal, not like her normal growl. Her eyes weren’t their normal cerulean; they turned completely black like somepony pulled them out. She then glared at Spike; the baby dragon just cowered when he saw what just happened to his best friend.
“Bunny? Are oka-“but he didn’t get to finish his sentence when he was pinned to the wall beside me. Spike was frightened when he opened his eyes to see the face of my apprentice. I don’t know what’s wrong with her. Just a while back, she was a Happy Limbo Servant, now she’s gone Savage.
“Bunny, what are you…” Spike tried calling out her name, but she just went mad.
“LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO HER, RARITY!” Bunny’s yelled in anger, her tones no longer like her cute one, and it turned completely like a lion’s growl.
“Rarity? Bunny, it’s me, Spike! Rarity is in jail…” Spike tried to speak to her.
She didn’t seem to listen. “YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?! WHEN I’M DONE WITH YOU, YOU’LL SO REGRET THAT YOU KILLED FLUTTERSHY!”
“Bunny, listen to me! Fluttershy’s fine! You must be having a…”
“DON’T YOU GET IT?! WHEN YOU CUT HER IN THE THIGH, YOU CUT A VITAL NERVE AND NOW SHE BLED TO DEATH WE THOUGHT SHE WAS FINE UNTIL IT GOT WORSE AND MADE ITSELF KNOWN! IF YOU DIDN’T LET YOUR JEALOUSY GET THE BEST OF YOU, SHE WOULD BE FINE AND NOW…” Bunny’s fangs began to show themselves, and grew larger and sharper. “…YOU’LL HAVE TO TELL HER WE SAY HELLO!”
At that, I finally knew what was going on with her. Now I know how to wake her up and snap her out of it. And my reaction time was perfect; she was about to bite Spike! I finally reached in and hit her on the head as hard as I could. I know that may hurt her in this state, but it’s the only way to wake her up.
The trick worked as expected; Bunny let go of Spike and held her head and groaned for a few seconds in pain. Spike just shook off the fear as he seemingly prayed that she would go back to normal. It took a while, but she finally opened her eyes. They were back to their normal cerulean. She got back on her paws and shook her head as though she came out of a dream. After a few seconds, she looked at Spike in confusion, and then just panicked.
“Oh my goodness!” she said, back in her normal tone. “Spike, I am so sorry!”
Spike quivered in response, he didn’t even answer Bunny.
Bunny looked down. “Oh, he’s scared of me now, isn’t he?”
Spike snapped out of his fear-induced trance. “B-Bunny? Is that really you?”
“I just hope you can forgive me. I was in a Daze! I’m sorry!”
“Yep, that’s definitely you” Spike said, picking my apprentice up and pulling her in for a hug. “Only the real and normal Bunny gets that emotional when she does mistakes”
“Does that mean you forgive me?”
“You’re too cute for me to stay mad at you, and like you said, you were in a Daze. What is a Daze in your speak anyway?”
“A Daze is when a Servant is in Happy Limbo for a moment, senses a Vision, and starts to whimper. If it gets provoked like somepony tries to wake them up, their eyes turn black and their voice goes weird. They also tend to act as though it was real and that they were there. One way to wake them up is by bonking them on the head” Twilight said upon going back inside the room. “In this case, it was about Rarity and she thought you were her”
“Okay, but that doesn’t explain why you mistaken me for Rarity”
“You smell a bit like her”
“And how does she smell like?”
“Mostly gemstones”
“What did the Nurse say?” I asked so as to avoid a freak out.
“She said that you may have to stay here for a while, and they have to make daily check-ups on you to avoid accidents. You had a really deep cut”
I nodded. “Bunny, what did you see?”
My apprentice just looked down. “I’m not supposed to say”
________________________________________
“I’m sorry, everypony” Nurse Redheart said upon entering the room. “But visiting hours are almost over”
Twilight seemed disappointed, but I nodded to her to assure it’ll be okay. With a sigh, she gave me one last kiss on the cheek before leaving with the others. “See you tomorrow, Flutters”
“Okay, Twi”
Redheart counted them as they left. “Okay, there’s Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Spike, Twilight Sparkle…” her eyes widened at the last part. “Wait a minute! Where’s Bunny?”
We heard a small whimper. Redheart looked under the bed to see where my apprentice hid herself. “Miss Bunny, you must understand, but your Mistress Fluttershy needs her rest”
“I don’t wanna go! I wanna stay here with Fluttershy!” her voice rang out.
“Bunny, please”
But my apprentice just zipped to my side. “I want to stay!” she cried like a baby as she hugged my left hoof.
“You’re afraid that Rarity would come back to finish her off, aren’t you?”
Bunny nodded, hugging me tighter.
Redheart sighed. “Miss Fluttershy, would you like that Bunny stay with you? She seems attached to you”
I looked at my apprentice as she begged with her eyes. “Um, if that’s not a problem”
“Well, okay. But she needs to wear a leash”
Without waiting, Bunny grabbed her leash, put it on, and tied it to the bedpost. “Done!”
“Okay, goodnight. Now, try and get some sleep you two” Redheart said, closing the door. “I could’ve sworn you looked bigger”
I furrowed my eye a little at that. I looked to see what she meant. “Bunny, you don’t have to shrink to the size of a baby rabbit to show you’re afraid” I said as my apprentice grew back to normal size.
“I’m just scared of the Vision”
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it, my little alien” I said, petting her. “Now, get some rest”
“Yes, Mistress” Bunny said as she curled up on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
________________________________________
Over the past few weeks, everything seemed fine. I didn’t even need to worry about the animals as Bunny assigned Dino and her pets to watch over them. Twilight and the others made their visits, there were regular check-ups to make sure things were fine, and I hadn’t heard from Rarity in a long time since. Things look like they were just alright, well, until one day…
“If I don’t make it, Twilight, do me a favor” I said to her.
“Yes, Flutters?”
“Take care of Bunny for me”
She looked at me in confusion.
“When the Master or Mistress of the Servant dies, the Servant must return to E-arth, whether they finished their mission or not. And I don’t want Bunny to leave like the way she did with Poltrust. Servants can still stay if another one, who is close to the Master or Mistress, takes them in. Poltrust didn’t have anypony to watch her after he died so she had to leave”
Twilight looked at Bunny, then back at me.
“Please, Twilight” I said, holding onto her hoof. “My animals will leave if I die, but I want that Bunny finishes her mission”
Twilight just looked at me, before she finally decided. “Okay, I’ll make sure she’s safe”
“Thank you, Twi”
Before I could react, she kissed me and held on. I was surprised at first, but gladly kissed back. We were in that for a while as Bunny covered her eyes. When we pulled away, we just stared deeply into each other’s eyes.
Then I felt something wrong. I coughed a little, but it became worse. I felt something in my throat, and I coughed it out. It came out to be my own blood. We stared in horror at what was happening. What’s happening? I tried to calm down, but I kept coughing up my own blood.
