THE IMPOSTER AMONG US

by FIM Fiction


14, Last day on the job

My head feels fuzzy. Like, I'm remembering something, but I don't know what.

Why does this memory feel so important?

What am I forgetting that I don't want to remember?

*POLUS*

Button Mash walked down the halls of the campus. "Cygow? Cygow!" he called out, looking or his friend. He sighed, looking out a window. He frowned, scrunching up his nose. There was someone moving a large box out of one of the shuttles. "Is that... Cygow?"

Button Mash ran out the nearest door. "Hey Cygow! What are you doing?" he asked, trotting up.

Cozy Glow turned to him, tears pouring down her eyes. "I'm sorry." she mouthed. "I'm sorry."

"...You're gonna do something really bad, aren't you?" Button Mash asked.

Cozy Glow nodded. "Yes. It's already started. I'm just trying to save myself." She nodded towards the box.

Button Mash sighed. "So no matter what, we're all doomed."

Cozy Glow nodded. "I have... There's a problem. A problem made later- I" Cozy Glow started hitting her head against the ship. "I can't explain it without sounding more insane!"

"Is it time travel?" Button Mash asked.

Cozy Glow slowly turned her head. "H-how did you-?"

"Fly up to that ship." Button Mash pointed at the S. S. Skeld. "It's on that one."

"How do you know?" Cozy Glow asked.

"Because I can remember now, Cozy Glow." Button Mash said. "I'm remembering it all. There's a lot I don't wanna remember, but..." He sighed. "Just... Just try to fix some problems, alright?" He hugged Cozy glow tightly. "Please try to be my friend again."

"I will" Cozy Glow said.

Button Mash quickly pulled his gameboy out of his bag, along with a smaller bag. "Here, I'm not gonna need them." he said, handing Cozy Glow the items.

"You don't know how much this means to mAHH!" Cozy Glow screamed as a syringe shot into her neck. She yanked it out, before paleling. "Memory Passer!" She quickly ran into the shuttle, closing the doors and flying up.

"I'LL GET YOU!" Zemlinder roared. He raised a charkled at Button Mash, before shooting a gun at him. Buttom Mash crumpled to the ground.

Cup Cake and Carrot Cake sat together in the lounge, playing a game of chess. Cup Cake gasped, shoving the chess board to the ground. "Tell me you remember!" she shouted.

"I- Remember what!?" Carrot Cake asked. He then smacked his forehead. "I REMEMBER! I'm Carrot Cake! And you're not my sister You're-" Carrot Cake stopped. "Oh, that's awkward." Cup Cake grabbed her husband, yanking him over the table. "Woop!"

"You don't know how long I've been wanting to do this!" Cup Cake exclaimed.

"D-do what?" Carrot asked nervously. He quickly got his answer as Cup Cake kissed him fully on the lips. The two clung to each other as a white flame engulfed them.

Twilight raised her head. She was building a snowman with Rogers, when she heard a loud bang of sorts. She gasped. "Oh sweet Celestia I remember!" She stared as a shuttle took off. "Wait, I need that! I remember why there was a past future me- Oh no." Her hooves shot up to her mouth. "Spike. I remember Spike."

"Twilight!" Rainbow Dash and the others galloped up to Twilight. "We can see you remember. So as Captain of the S. S. Ponyville, I command you to tell us: Where the BUCK is Pinkie!?"

"She's in the S. S. Ponyville!" Twilight said. "She's the motherboard for the cloning processor."

"And that means what?" Applejack asked, no sign of her country accent on her lips.

Fluttershy frowned. "Your accent is wrong." she said, before tackling Applejack. "YOU'RE NOT A J!" she screamed as a white flame engulfed them.

Carl hummed to himself as he scrubbed the sewer walls. A beeping caused him to frown. "Odd." He pulled a tablet out of his bag. "Uh oh!"

"Carl, what's Uh Oh?" Paul asked, heavily worried.

"Oh, well it looks like someone hijacked a space ship and is now driving off into space. Oh, and one of my nukes have been armed."

"...Carrrl." Paul groaned. "Why would you bring a nuke!?"

Carl shrugged. "Well, I mean I couldn't come without one, now could I? Also I love you. You're my best friend."

Paul raised an eyebrow. "Alrigh-" he said slightly confused, as a white flame engulfed the two of them.

Cozy Glow stumbled as the ship burst away from the planet. "Come on come on!..." An explosion shook the very sky. The Reactors of Polus released a beam of energy, hitting the space ship dead on. "YES!" Cozy Glow shouted. "Now all I got to do..."

The girl stopped. "Now all I got to do is... Who... am I?" she asked. She looked around the ship. She... She was the only one left. She was a survivor, but what was the tragedy?
