Those Days Still Lurking

Remembering

It was a long sleep. When I woke up, the calender besides my bed clearly stated that it's been a month since I first checked in. Ms. Twilight was resting her head against my hooves. As she was still my sister, I tried not to move and wake her. I sighed, and she woke up. Her big eyes rested on mine, "You're my brother, aren't you, Shining Armour." Her saying that brought warmth to my heart. A smile, wider than anything before, spread across my face, "So you finally remembered didn't you?" I jokingly stated. I still remembered my last words to her, "See you tommorow Twilie?" Ever since Cadence died, Twilight was the last thing I loved.

"So how'd you finally figure it out?" I asked Twilight. She's known for her smarts, but she lacks common sense. "Well, when the doctor tested your blood, he told me that the strange thing was that both of our genetic strands are remarkably similar, and asked if we were siblings. Then it occured to me, Derpy is not the smartest pony." "What do you mean Derpy?" I asked. She didn't seem like she felt like explaining. "Well, the day after I got back from the Crystal Empire, Derpy said that he saw you were taken away by some people, and that you died. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have trusted, Derpy." I get all the stupid things she's done, but trusting Derpy Hooves on account of something. No, just no.

The skeletal view of my vitals was displayed in front of me. The live-action reader displayed what was currently happening to me. Just when I was about to say that I was fine, the door opened, and BlueLung's younger brother, YellowBone trotted in, "You are free to go, Shining Armour. Our new techinques have healed you quicker than we have expected. Here is your injury report, and you may leave when you wish in the next half hour," and he handed me some papers.

"Ready to go, Shiny?" Shiny, I still remember Cadence's little nick name for me. I got up and trotted around in a circle in front of the bed. I turned my head this way and that, and there was no pain. I stretched out my self and said, "Ok, let's go."

The hole was fixed, and the sun shind so much brighter than before. The grass seemed just a little greener, and the color just seemed a little, well, more colorful. That struck a thought, "Any more attacks from that guy who blew up the hospital?" Twilight thought for a minute, then shook her head. This day was going to be perfect.

I raced Twilie to my favorite coffee shop, which of course, I cheated and teleported there, and she slapped me on one side of my face, and backhanded me when the hand was coming back, "Cheater," she played around. We ordered a double foam mocha cappucino decaf with extra sugar and a cherry on top, a home favorite. Twilie, who's appetite had expanded since the last time I saw her, chugged the whole thing in less than 2 seconds. I looked at her with a confused face. "It was a bet from Rainbow Dash, and I found out I'm good at chugging." That made me smile. I sipped mine, too hot. I cooled it off, and it was fine again.

I heard a rustleing in the bushes behind me, and I turned to look. It sounded like the one on that night, but nothing was there. I continued to drink my coffee as Twilie explained what's been going on in her life before now. She said that Applejack had gotten a big time job bucking apples for this professional apple everything company for 100 bits an hour. Good for her! Pinkie Pie had become a professional party planner reccomended by everyone. Rainbow Dash had finally got into the Wonderbolts, and that Rarity, is working around the clock for many different people, from Sapphire Shores to Fancy Pants. Fluttershy is still at her ol' cottage caring for animals, and had opened a pet sitter center in her cottage. These all seemed great, until Twilight mentioned that they have all been into some physical accidents. One of Rainbow Dash's partner, Soarin, had eaten too much pie, and had thrown up on her, which blocked her vision, and she crashed into Spitfire, and they both crashed into the rock below. Rainbow Dash was fine, but Spitfire had major, maybe fatal injures. Pinkie Pie had ordered too much fireworks, and litterally blew up a house into a large ball of fire. She had 4th degree burns. Rarity stabbed herself one too many times with her sewing machine, which I found hilarous, until Twilight stabbed my chest with her horn. Fluttershy got mauled by someones pet tiger, and she is currently recovering in a hosptial under tender care by RedHeart. Applejack bucked a large tree with so much apples, that all of it came down on her, and, like me, fractured her skull in to areas.

I felt sad for them, and some tears came to my eyes, which Twilight quickly saw and made up for it. She told me about herself, and said that she got a job working by Celestia's side. She doesn't get payed though, but she said she did it for the fun. She would go on all these secret missions, such as the one she was on now, where there was something strange going on in this town. She also learned a couple secrets, like how her current age is equivlant to Celestia's when she stopped aging, so techinaclly, they are the same age.

"Wait wait wait, go back, something strange, such as random objects going in circles?" She didn't answer, she just stared into my coffee cup. I looked, and it happened again. The coffee was spinning in circles, and the cherry, too. "Oh no," I threw the coffee on the ground, and it shattered. Another strange thing is that the coffee was immediantly sucked up bye the grass, and after a few seconds, the coffee, the cherry, and the cup were gone. "Twilight?"
"Yeah?"
"What's going on?"
"I'm here to figure out."

There was an ear deafening scream, and we both passed out.
