//------------------------------// // Bonus Chapter // Story: Rebirth // by Soniclink137 //------------------------------// A blue teenage pegasus stallion wearing odd and eccentric clothing that covered up both his mane and flank, including his tail, walked up to the Canterlot hospital in the morning. He had his green eyes opened wide as he walked, constantly darting between the ponies that were walking the streets for whatever reason. He was obviously trying to avoid something, because when a certain orange pegasus with a purple mane passed by he immediately dashed off away from the road and out of sight. And after that pegasus passed by his location he went back on the path. The pegasus continued across the road until he reached the entrance of the hospital. Once he reached there he put a hoof towards the door his face full of longing, but after leaving it outstretched there for a few seconds he shook his head and put his hoof back down. He then walked to the side of the hospital, where the windows wouldn’t show him, and then sat down against the wall. He faced to the right where the entrance was and kept watch of all the ponies that went in and out, looking as if he is waiting for somepony. And after several ponies passed by, some of whom gave him strange glances, he finally found the pony he was looking for. A light brown pegasus mare in a nurses outfit with a blond mane came walking out of the hospital. As she walked out she immediately noticed the pegasus stallion and nodded in his direction. After taking a quick look at her surroundings she immediately walked over to the pegasus stallion’s location. “Hey Nurse Bubbles,” the pegasus stallion said as the mare walked up to her. ‘Nurse Bubbles’ rolled her eyes while walking up to the pegasus stallion. “Nurse Bubbles?” she asked. “Really? I didn’t even inherit any colors that could be considered bubbly from my mother.” “Yeah but it’s the best I got for now,” the pegasus stallion said. “I don’t think it’s safe to use your actual name here.” “Then come on,” ‘Nurse Bubbles’ said as she turned around. “Let’s get out of here. We don’t need to be here anymore anyways.” She walked away for a few seconds before she realized that the pegasus stallion behind her wasn’t coming so she turned back over to look at him. “Come on, let’s go!” “Alright fine,” the pegasus stallion said as he got up. He walked up next to the pegasus mare and with an intense longing on his face he asked “So…did it work? Is she alive?” “Yeah, Rainbow Dash will be just fine,” ‘Nurse Bubbles’ told him. The pegasus stallion breathed a sigh of relief. “Thanks so much Time Heart,” he said in a calm voice before giving her a kiss. Time Heart naturally blushed at their embrace and even after they broke off. “N-no problem,” she said. “Well we might as well go now,” the pegasus stallion said. “Not much more we can do here.” “Al…right,” Time Heart said, still recovering from the kiss. They both walked away from the hospital and started walking along the streets of Canterlot. While walking their eyes were darting around looking at everypony they passed by but at this point they didn’t see anypony to familiar so they felt safer to talk about what they wanted to talk about. They still kept constantly looking but they felt safer now that they put some difference between them and the hospital. “So how did you manage to get in without anypony noticing you?” the pegasus stallion asked. “It wasn’t really that hard,” Time Heart said. “I already had the nurse’s outfit and they were really busy trying to think of a way to save Rainbow Dash because of her importance so they didn’t really pay attention to me. Twilight was a little suspicious of me, but I managed to convince her. What about you?” “It…was kinda hard for me to put on a different personality,” the pegasus stallion said. “You do know you could have just acted normally right?” Time Heart said. “I highly doubt Twilight would have noticed anything, and by the time she would be able to notice anything she’ll probably forget about you.” “Well yeah I guess, but I wanted to give off the idea that I know more then I’m letting on, and I just thought it would be better,” the pegasus stallion said in his defense. “Besides, it all worked out in the end.” “Yeah,” Time Heart said. She looked around and to her right she saw a side street that most likely lead to an alleyway. “Let’s head over there,” she said. “Nopony should come that way so we’ll be alone.” “Umm…are you sure about that?” the pegasus stallion asked. “The way we look if somepony were to happen to see us walking that way they, especially with how I look right now, they might think…” “No they won’t. You’ve obviously forgotten,” Time Heart said in the monotonous voice that she usually uses when she explains things like this, “The idea that a stallion would do that to a mare, or vice versa, is completely absurd to even the most hardened criminal at this time. While it might raise some eyebrows from the ponies that see us, they will most likely just pass by without giving us a second thought.” “Point taken,” the pegasus stallion said. “Let’s go.” Both of them walked into the side street and continued down the street for a few seconds. While they were walking along the street their hooves eventually touched snow, since nopony ever bothered removing the snow from this area. They eventually reached a dead end which was a fence in between two white buildings, and there were no windows or doors around. After checking around their surroundings they both looked at each other. “Alright I don’t think anypony can see us or hear us here,” Time Heart said. “Good,” the pegasus stallion said. “Now I can finally take this hat off.” The pegasus stallion put both of his hooves up to his gray hat and started taking it off. As soon as the cap was off, his multi-colored mane fell down across his head, now free from being stuck within his hat. His mane which had the colors of blue, light-blue, green, and purple. “You know Cool Breeze, you should really cut your mane some time,” Time Heart said. “Yeah I know I should, but I probably won’t anytime soon,” Cool Breeze said. “Anyways, we should really think about heading back to our time soon. There’s nothing more we need to do here.” “Alright,” Time Heart said. “But Cool Breeze…you do know that when we get back…” Cool Breeze looked away from Time Heart and continued for her, “that nothing will be changed? That That no matter what I do here I’ll go back to the same time I came from? Yes, I know that. And I don’t care.” Cool Breeze looked back at Time Heart. “You know when I walked up to the hospital door, I was going to go into the hospital to wait for you, but I knew that if I stepped through that door nothing could stop me. I would find the way into the hospital room and I would go over to see Rainbow Dash. I would go over to meet my mother, who I have never seen before outside of pictures. I would be able to see my mother alive, even though I shouldn’t and I can’t. But even though it was difficult, I didn’t.” “In our world, Rainbow Dash died yesterday. So if I had any chance to let some Cool Breeze be able to meet his mother and live in a normal family, then even if it doesn’t affect me I feel good knowing that.” “Well…if it makes you feel better…I got the chance to talk to her a lot while she was at the hospital,” Time Heart said. “Everything Soarin’ said about her is true. You can feel glad knowing that while you may not have met her, you do know a lot about her.” “What makes me feel better is knowing that this place will go on, this time will go on, and I’m sure this will be a better future,” Cool Breeze said. “And maybe if I talk to Scootaloo about this she’ll finally stop being so afraid. I’m sure Rumble will appreciate that.” “Speaking of Rumble, why did you tell him to come here?” Time Heart questioned. “And don’t tell me you didn’t because I know you did.” “Well…you know we had a chance of failing,” Cool Breeze said. “And if we did…you know how Rumble is always saying how he wished he was there that day to comfort Scootaloo when mom died. So I thought I would give him that chance just in case we did fail.” “Ahh so that’s why,” Time Heart said. “You know, I really wish that, even though we can’t see how it goes, that we would be able to go to see this place’s future,” Cool Breeze said. “I really wish I could see how we turn out now that Rainbow Dash is alive in this future. At least I know there is a good future in store for me, even if I can’t live it. It will help me go on in our broken future.” Cool Breeze straight into Time Heart’s eyes. “So thanks again for letting me do that, even though you’re probably going to get in trouble with your dad because of that.” “No problem Cool Breeze,” Time Heart said. Softly she mumbled, “Besides, it was a good way of getting you off your flank for once.” The two of them once again kissed before they both took off, flying their way to return back to their own time.
