Twilight's life: A race against time

by Serenity Darkmoon Raven


Chapter 2- looking for a cure.

Spike let go of Twilight's hoof, he still had a sad look on his face, he was upset that Twilight was going to die, in a week.
Twilight was still upset but had a small smile on her face. She then said, "Do not worry, Spike.. I'll find a cure.." she had hope in her heart, even though she had a lethal disease and she was due in a week.

There was a short silence, no pony uttered a word, Spike stood there and slowly nodded his head slowly he said while tears rush down his face. He looked up with his teary face and cried, "Please, hurry.. you said you have a week... to live.. I don't want... want. you to die!" he hopes that Twilight doesn't die. Spike's heart was filled with grief, he was thinking how he could help Twilight find the cure and to make her final days unforgettable and enjoyable. his head hung low.

Twilight had a hopeful smile on her face, she hoped she could find a cure.. she then said, "Spike, don't worry... everything... will.. be fine.... I- I promise.." she had a smile of hope on her face, she is however still worried about her fate.

Twilight then walked to the bookshelves that were next to her, she then looked through the categories. She was looking for a book about diseases to research her disease and find a cure even though the doctor said there is no known cure. Even though she never heard of the disease before, she is determined to learn more about this disease. She then said, "Where is the health category!"
But when she was looking for the book that talks about diseases, Twilight then started to have a massive itch, she then itched that part, she had rashes in her face and hooves. She then felt something trying to get out of her mouth. Her face glow green, She quickly ran to the bathroom on her left and vomited in the toilet. She was in there for hours, she can be heard vomiting and moaning. The toilet can be heard flushing, the sound of Twilight washing her hooves could be heard.



She went out of the bathroom, then she continued to look around and was trying to find the health category that has books about diseases, drugs, and many other things. She then saw the health category, she then was looking for the book about diseases. Then, after what seemed like a short amount of time, she found the book, she said, "That was fast." the book had a red cover, the picture on the cover had a green germ, with an evil face and fangs on it. The words on the cover were written in New Times Roman, it was printed in yellow and it said, "Diseases and Cures"

She then walked from the bookshelf and lay on the ground. She wears a smile on her face, she will get a cure and avoid the horrible fate.

She then made her horn glow purple, then she used magic to flip through the pages and find the disease. She was looking for the page that talks about the Everfree Weave Syndrome. After what seemed like forever, she found it. She said, "Yes, I found the page that talks about Everfree Weave Syndrome."

On the page "Everfree Weave Syndrome" was written in purple, the rest of the text was written in black. On the left page under the words, "Everfree Weave Syndrome", there were symptoms of the disease. Twilight read the symptoms, "Ponies who may have this disease may experience, eye color, uncontrollable magic spells, feel zap pain, feel lightheaded, or vomiting." Below the symptoms there was a notice, Twilight read the notice, it reads, "Ponies who have this disease will have die in a week.." she had a mixed look of worry and sadness. Then, shortly after she read that, she remembered what the doctor told her.


Flashback:

Twilight raised an eyebrow, bad news, what could be worst about her symptoms and everypony being afraid of her. She then sighed and asked, "Doctor... wha- what is the bad news?"

The doctor looked down and after a few moments, she said, "You have a super rare disease... Everfree Weave Syndrome.. it is super rare.. there were such a few cases and only 5% of ponies in Equestria ever caught this disease... it's caused by a spider bite, usually the yellow Snapper, which is a rare species in Equestria, they also have this disease to defend themselves from enemies like birds... this disease is also... a fatal disease.. There.. is no known cure.. because it is rare..."

When Twilight heard what the doctor said, she couldn't believe it. Her mouth was open, her pupil was small. There was silence in the room, the doctor had an upset look on her face. Twilight was still trying to digest this news. There was an eerie silence in the room..
it felt like forever till the doctor then said in a sad tone, "I have other bad news... you have a... week to live."

End of Flashback


Twilight wore a worried look on her face, she didn't want to lose everything she worked hard for. She was the student of Princess Celestia, she was the princess of friendship, she is also a member of the main six and elements of harmony. She will miss her friends. She will miss Spike, her loyal assistant. she shed a tear in her right eye.

She then thought maybe there will be a cure in the other page, then she won't have to worry about her death, in a week.
Said, "Maybe there will be a cure on the other side of the book." She looked over a the right side of the page, on the top it describes what to do when your friends have this disease. it said to stay away from them since if you touch a pony with this disease, you could get it too and die in a week. Then after a short while, Twilight then looked at the bottom of the other page and there was something about the cure, Twilight read what it was written, "There isn't any cure for this disease, it is a rare disease and only 5% of ponies ever gotten this, but some hospitals might have a cure for the disease or offer special treatment."



Twilight's face started glowing red, she grabbed the book and threw it out of the window, she yelled, "C'mon! Not even a book about disease know the cure for Everfree Weave Syndrome?"

Spike said while sniffing and shedding a few tears, "Well, I mean.. it is a rare disease and such few ponies ever gotten the disease."

Twilight said, "Ugh, why is it sooooo hard to find a cure for the disease but the doctors can find the cure of a disease in less than a day!"

Rainbow Dash barged in, she had an upset look on her face, she looked at Twilight with an angry look and yelled in an upset tone, "Twilight, why did you throw a book at me? What did I do to deserve this!?"

Twilight turned around, she had an upset look on her face, then Twilight said, "I didn't.."

Rainbow Dash said, "Some random book was tossed out of the window OF YOUR HOUSE and it hit my head.. that hurts.."

Twilight then said, "Sorry, Rainbow Dash. I didn't mean.. to hurt you."

Rainbow Dash then had a smile on her face and replied, "It's fine.. also why are you mad?"

Twilight looked down, she had an upset look on her face, she was upset that she didn't find a cure.. she is also scared of her fate and how her friends will react. Twilight said, "I was looking for a cure... I was bitten by a spider, then... I teleport to the hospital. I told the nice doctor, Dr. Corn my symptoms and she diagnosed me with Everfree Weave Syndrome... it is a fetal disease and no cure was found, I couldn't find a cure on the book and out... of anger.. I threw it out the window.. this was worst than when we went to the Gala!"

Rainbow Dash smile dissolved when she heard the news, she felt bad for Twilight, she remembers when her grandma got diagnosed with Everfree Weave Syndrome after she was sleepiing and a spider somehow got into the house and bit her after Grandma unintentionally tried to kill it, she was bitten and had massive rash, her eyes change color and she vomited every three hours. She died after a week, she remembered brawling and crying and wanting to hug her grandma but her parents stopped her since.. a pony can catch the disease by touching a pony infected with Everfree Weave Syndrome.

Rainbow usually doesn't cry, but when she remembered that event, her eyes flooded with water, she began to shed some tears when she remembered that horrible day, it was many years ago and it was a week before Christmas. Christmas was ruined for her and her family, she never managed to get over it. Now, she didn't want to lose her friends to this horrible disease. She said, "I feel bad for you, Twilight..."

Twilight started to shed some tears too, she began to shed many tears along with Rainbow Dash. A large puddle of tears was under them. They were crying for a while, Spike was also crying, his head hung low. Then, Twilight sniffed and looked down, "I don't want to die.. but I must learn to accept my fate.."

Rainbow Dash looked up, a few tears raced down her face, she then said, "I don't want.. you.. to die... you are my best friend.. life would suck... without you.." she had a teary look on her face, she tried to hug Twilight but Twilight stepped back. She didn't want RD to get the disease since Dr. Corn said that ponies can catch this disease if they

Twilight then shed a few tears, she wears a sad look on her face. She then said, "Life would be bad without you too." More tears raced down her face.

Then, all of a sudden, Apple Jack opened the door, behind her was Pinkie Pie who's eyes were flooded with water, a few tears race down her eyes. She wears a worried look on her face, a few tears race down her face. She then said, "Twilight, what's wrong, Pinkie told me that ya have this disease called uh..Everfree Weave Syndrome... and that the doctor warned that ya will die in a week?"

Twilight sighed and nodded her head slowly, she has a worried look on her face. Her eyes are filled with water and tears race down her face. She said, "Yeah, I got a spider bite from a Yellow Snapper spider, then I had a rash, intense itching, my eyes changed colors and.. well.. I randomly teleporting to places.. I met with a doctor, Dr. Corn... and she diagnosed me with Everfree Weave Syndrome.. she said.. I have a week... a week... a week!" a hoard of tears race down her face, her upside down grin was getting wider. She then yelled, "A WEEK LEFT TO... LIVE..."

Twilight lays on the ground and whispers, "I will... I miss you.. when.. I'm gone..." she sniffed and closed her eyes, a few tears race down her face. She then had a massive itching sensation on her back. Twilight itched the itch. Twilight then had a rash in her back and face.

Apple Jack stood there in shock, she couldn't believe what Twilight just told her, then her eyes started to fill up with water, three tears raced down her face. Pinkie was crying and a huge puddle of tears were under her. They all could be heard crying. Rainbow Dash then got an idea, she then asked, "Hey Twilight.." she still had water in her eyes.

Twilight got up, and sniffed. She then looked at Rainbow Dash and asked, "Yes, Rainbow?"

Rainbow Dash said, "There might not be a.. known cure to prevent you from your horrible fate.. but.. how about we make the most of it out of your final days? I was just trying to make you feel better or keep your mind off your cursed fate!"

Twilight thought about it, she liked that idea, and maybe it will make her final days enjoyable and have fun with her friends instead of her crying because of her fate she'll face in a week.. She then nodded her head, a few tears were racing down her eyes and she said, "Yeah, I like that, that's a good... idea, Rainbow!"
