Time to Shine

Part Five

Day 4

“Wouldn’t you like to-,”

I basted that stupid damn silly little tiny radio with my magic as soon as I heard it leaving it a pile of dust and ashes. I always had sort of hated that thing anyways. I rushed downstairs and went through the whole entire routine again.

But I couldn’t stop her from going west even though I shouted “WAIT!” before we left, but when we did get there I managed to knock Starlight out of the way of death from the monster. “Ha, saved you from another death,” I said.

“Thanks, but wait, what was that again exactly?”

“You’ve died three times by now, and I’m determined to change or at least stop the future instead,” I said.

“Trixie, you’re crazy, go home now,” Starlight said.

“Too late for that,” I said smiling before I saw the snake worm (that’s what I called the beast/creature/monster since that’s exactly what it looked like) go down into the ground and then come back up again to swallow her… again.

Day 5

“Wouldn’t you like to-,”

I slammed my hoof down on the radio crushing it into tiny little pieces.

I quickly rushed downstairs and did the whole entire speech thing again and then Twilight took us west and I mad Starlight safely avoid the snake worm.

But that’s when it struck for the third time and killed her… again.

Day 53

It took me 50 more days before I could finally avoid every attempt of death by the snake worm in the west, but that was when the harpy eagle decided to kill her now then.

Day 103

I don’t know why exactly, but it took me another 50 days to also learn how to avoid every attack by the harpy eagle. But that was when I finally decided to NOT go West, instead I decided to go North, that didn’t work out well so much either since she died due to hypothermia.

Day 104

So I went North again today and came up with a very brilliant genius idea to keep her warm, but Twilight didn’t exactly like it.

Well I don’t care what she thinks or says instead.

Too bad that she died of something else completely different and unrelated to coldness.

Day 105

Okay, clearly the North and West are NOT very good options for us now.

How about the East instead? That should work out just fine, right?

Day 106

The East didn’t work out quite so well as I hoped, oh well, there’s always tomorrow, or rather today instead, I’m so lost and confused right now, I feel like I could be slowly going crazy and insane by starting to write the same things over again, but I hope not, that would be very bad news for me indeed.

Day 107

The East didn’t work out quite so well as I hoped, oh well, there’s always tomorrow, or rather today instead, I’m so lost and confused right now, I feel like I could be slowly going crazy and insane by starting to write the same things over again, but I hope not, that would be very bad news for me indeed.

Day 108

The East didn’t work out quite so well as I hoped, oh well, there’s always tomorrow, or rather today instead, I’m so lost and confused right now, I feel like I could be slowly going crazy and insane by starting to write the same things over again, but I hope not, that would be very bad news for me indeed.

Day 109

The East didn’t work out quite so well as I hoped, oh well, there’s always tomorrow, or rather today instead, I’m so lost and confused right now, I feel like I could be slowly going crazy and insane by starting to write the same things over again, but I hope not, that would be very bad news for me indeed.

Day 110

The East didn’t work out quite so well as I hoped, oh well, there’s always tomorrow, or rather today instead, I’m so lost and confused right now, I feel like I could be slowly going crazy and insane by starting to write the same things over again, but I hope not, that would be very bad news for me indeed.

Day 111

I decided not to go East anymore, please don’t ask me why, just don’t, okay then? Great, now we can finally get back to my very slow descent into madness.

Anyhow I decided to go South today instead, that should be safe and just perfectly fine for the both of us, right?

Day 112

The South wasn’t just perfectly fine, it’s like a Civil War down there now.

Day 162

Yesterday was the end of the South for us.

Clearly going out of Ponyville to a random spot in each direction won’t work.

Maybe I should try specific cities instead?

Day 163

Nope, that didn’t work.

Day 213

Canterlot failed, 50 times in a row.

Now to Las Pegasus instead!!!

Day 263

That also failed 50 times in a row too as well.

Oh well, to Manehattan!!!

Day 313

Why do I keep failing no matter what I try or how hard I do it instead?

I’ve failed 50 times in just one city!!!

I can’t ever seem to stop Starlight from dying.

I just wish that it could end.

Day 363

Dodge City has also failed.

And I can’t wait until I have been stuck here for a year by now.

Day 364

Today I received a note from Jake saying he’ll show up tomorrow.

Great, that means another day here trapped in my eternal hell.

This news just keeps on getting better.

Day 365

So Jake came today and he said that he was honestly surprised that I hadn’t figured it out by now, but he also said that I had up to 999 years left to try to figure it out. Well that’s just great, I just want this nightmare to end already.

Day 366

The last two days were both terrible and horrible.

I mean I didn’t know that a dog bite could kill you.

And I never imagined a toaster just happening to land in a bathtub.

Day 367

Bats, did you know that they can kill you?

Day 368

So can ants too as well!!!

Day 369

I didn’t know that we lived close enough to the water to get eaten by a shark...

Day 370

…Or killed by a lobster instead…

Day 371

…Or a whale? Wait, what?...

Day 372

…Dolphins, I give up now.

Day 373

There’s a storm today,

I wonder how she’ll die today.

Day 374

Apparently lightning CAN strike in the same place twice.

Day 392

Wow, Starlight was really unlucky, she had 19 strikes of lightning in a row.

But no storm clouds for today so she should be safe.

Ha, that’s a laugh.

Day 393

Did you know that too much water can kill you?

More specifically drinking it?

Day 394

So can dehydration too as well, which is too little water instead.
