//------------------------------// // If I die before I wake... // Story: A Shadow’s Grave // by Pinkies Imagination //------------------------------// I know last chapter not much happened... sorry :( Chapter 18: If I die before I wake... I slowly began to wake to the sound of beeping. I shut my eyes from the pain. So I just sat there. Until I heard crying from beside me. I listened closer. It was Flutter shy. "C-CJ... You can't be dead... y-you c-can't..." I slowly opened my eyes and looked to my right. I saw her with her face down on the bed crying. I slowly lifted my right arm and brushed her mane. She looked up instantly. "Now who ever said I was dead?" She sat there frozen for a minute. Then leaped at me and planted a large kiss on my lips. A lot of pain stuck me, but I didn't care. I leaned forward and returned the kiss. When we finished she gave me a hug. "I t-though I was g-going to lose y-you... we were all s-so worried..." She pulled away from the hug and I began stroking her mane. Smiling. "Shy, I am alright. How is Pinkie?" She continued to stare at me. "Pinkie is fine, they let her out a few days ago." That struck me like a truck. "A... few days ago?" She nodded "you have been in a coma for two weeks now." I was in awe. 'Two weeks? TWO WEEKS? Well... I have been dead longer...' I wiped away the face of worry and replaced it with a smile and continued stroking her mane. "Don't worry Shy, I will never leave you again. I Pinkie promise..." She smiled and lay her head down on my chest. I removed the covers for a moment and before Shy noticed I pulled them back on. "Uh... Shy... where are my pants... and my underwear..." I said bright red. She gave a small laugh. "They are in the corner. They needed to operate on you so they took them off." She said smiling. "Could you... get them for me?" I said, watching her giggle. "YYYYour not gonna... huh?" She nodded holding in a laugh. I sighed and got up from the bed and walked over to my clothes and picked them up. Fully aware of the Laughing Flutter shy behind me. I put on the clothes and turned to her. "Ya ya... haha... you know I'll get you back for this?" She stopped laughing and looked at me with a mischievous smile. "Alright..." She said with a hint of seduction in her voice. '...' She burst out laughing again. I shook my head. "That's not funny..." She looks at me again. "It is PRICELESS." I looked at her with a mischievous grin of my own. She looked at me and stopped smiling and cocked her head. "Well... how about I tell everyone about that time you drank and you-" She looked at me and interrupted with a raspy voice. "You.Wouldn't.DARE!" I stared at her with the same grin. "Try me." She scowled and dropped her head in defeat. I made my way over to the door. "Wait, you can't leave, you are still in bad shape." She said. "Shy, I'm fine, I can deal with the pain." I opened the door and walked out with Flutter shy close behind. We walked out of the hospital and I noticed it was getting late. I made my way to my house to get some sleep. (Apparently the body takes a coma as being awake...) On the way we just talked about random things. I always enjoyed having Flutter shy around. It always made me happy. Then I stopped and looked at her. "Shy?" She turned to me. "Yes CJ?" "I just wanted to know... why me? Your probably the most beautiful mare around. But why would you choose to hang out with someone like me?" She looked at me and smiled. "Because you always do whats best for others. And always want to help wherever and whenever you can. You make me feel safe. And we share the same hobbies. Also to me, you look pretty good." She ended that with a raised eyebrow in a joking manner looking me up and down. "Haha... alright then." When we got to my house I nodded goodbye to Flutter shy and she flew home. I went inside and up stairs. I came to my room and lifted up the mattress and pulled out a small box. I opened it and smiled. "We are going to have a party tomorrow..." I said to no one. And made my way to my DJ room to mix some music. Once again, taking suggestions for any music you would like featured! It needs to be dubstep, or a good pony related remix! Also, any guesses on what will happen next?
