Broken pieces of time, flying about without a sound.

The light faded. I woke up, and I discovered that I'm lying a hospital bed. Argh! My shoulder hurts... really bad. I lift my arm to feel my shoulder and to my surprise, it's a hand! A human hand! Then it hit me. What just happened... was that all real? 
In the next minute, all my friends walk in. Keiichi, Rena, Satoko, Mion and Shion! 
Rena was the first to speak, "Oh! You are sooooo cute in that hospital bed! I'm going to take you hooooome!"
Keiichi was next. "Are you alright? You have been in a coma for two weeks! You really shouldn't ride your bike like that!"
Hmm. That's just how long I was in Ponyvile... Is it possible... that I was actually there in Ponyville while in a coma here?
"Maybe." Hanyuu answered my thought.
"Now that you mention it," Rena spoke again. "every night you were in the coma, I had a really strange dream. I was this little pink horse with cotton candy hair, helping out this purple horse with a horn and a blue horse with rainbow hair and wings."
Keiichi lit up. "Me too! Except I was the blue horse you mentioned. I was even helping that purple horse with the horn and the pink horse with the cotton candy hair! What's even stranger, the purple horse called herself 'Rika'. Strange, huh?"
Rena replied, "Oh! I remember that too! That IS strange!"
I smiled at this. I really had been in Ponyville. "Well," I said, "the important thing is that I'm all right and in the company of my friends! Ni-pah!~" 
Maybe, Pinkie and Rainbow had believed me when I told them I was Rika was because they were influenced by Keiichi and Rena. But, what happened to them after I killed Nightmare Moon? Is the one known as Twilight Sparkle okay? I guess I can never know. 
But now I'm back in Hinamizawa, I must figure out how to survive Miyo Takano...
