Pony Split

Chapter 5 - Runaway

We finally made it to Surgarcube Corner. We walked in and all the lights were off. I was about to say something to Twilight when suddenly, all the lights flashed on.

"SURPRISE!"

"HOLY CRAP!" I nearly passed out from the near heart attack I had.

"Pure Heart, are you okay," Twilight asked with a look of concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just nearly had a heart attack is all." I gave a weak smile.

"Well, let me introduce you to everypony. First off, this is Pure Heart everyone."

"Howdy, ma name is Applejack. I run Sweet Apple Acres just on the outside of town. It's great to finally meet y'all." She had grasped me by the hoof and shook it vigorously until it felt like it would fall off. I gave her a smile.

"Hi, my name is Rainbow Dash..."


10 minutes later, after everypony introduced themselves (because the author is really lazy)

"Okay, everypony, now that we have introduced ourselves, lets get this party started," said Twilight, and the others nodded.

"Oh, let's do the Pony-Pokie, I'll start us off. You put your left hoof in and you take your left hoof out..."


A couple hours later, after the party (once again, because the author is lazy)

"Wow Pinkie, you sure know how to throw a spectacular party," I said with a tired grin.

"Oh, thanks Pure Heart! I just love meeting new ponies and parties, so I said what the hay! I'll throw parties for new ponies!" Pinkie Pie started to ramble on about how much she enjoyed parties when out of nowhere Princess Luna crashed into Sugarcube Corner.

"Oh my gosh! Princess are you okay?" A very worried Twilight Sparkle said.

She got up, not even answering Twilight's inquiry, and spun around to face me. "Za... I mean Pure Heart, we have to go now!" She was trembling and her face was tear stained.

"Hold on Princess, what are you so upset about," Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes, darling. What is it that has got you so flustered?"

Luna started to explain the conversation she had had with her sister only an hour ago. She left out the crucial details of Pure Heart's fate once he turned into his alter ego. All of us just listened with our mouths agape.

"So, what your saying is I don't have a strange medical condition and that those grooming products didn't change my natural colors?" Luna nodded solemnly. I chuckled, "Well, I guess I owe that company an apology." I said grinning sheepishly, scratching the back of my head in embarrassment.

"You think this is funny? You have been accused of harboring an evil entity within the confines of your mind, and you are making jokes," she screamed.

I grew a serious face. "Calm down, this is how I cope with bad news."

"This isn't bad news! THIS! IS! THE! WORST! POSSIBLE! THING! EVER!" Rarity said, not exaggerating for once.

"Oh come on, the only thing that can be that bad would be, say, being banished to the sun, and we all know that is not going to happen."

Oh, the irony, Luna thought.

"So, w-what are w-we going to d-do?" Fluttershy asked very nervously.

"You aren't going to do anything, this is something only I can take care of... Luna?" She looked up at me sadly, "I want you have this." I pulled out my mp3 player and hoofed it to her.

"You want me to have your music box, but why? What are you going to do," she asked, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Now stop that, I can't stand seeing others cry. I want you to take my mp3 and listen to it whenever you get sad or lonely. Can you do that?" I hoofed her the music player and she nodded her head. "Good, I also want you to know that I...URK!" I fell to the ground, clutching my chest.

"Pure Heart! What's wrong?" They all started to move in closer.

"NO! Stand back!" I waved my hoof to back them up, as well as start backing up to the door. "I don't *cough* want anypony to get hurt at my expense. Luna..." I had a fit of coughing for a couple seconds. "I want you to know... that... that I love you."

They all gasped at my confession, but I continued, "I love you so much that it hurts. But I can't stay here, it will only endanger you. This is why I am running away..." Another bout of coughing.

"No, I will not let you go!" She took another step towards me, and reached in for to try to grab me.

I stepped back again, still in total agony. "I said stay back! I don't want...*shallow breath* to hurt you!"

I saw myself begin to glow.

"He is about to teleport, we have to stop him," Twilight said.

But it was too late, for I had started to fade from the current area, so only my visage was still there. "I am truly sorry for all the trouble I have caused, but please know I thank you for all your kindness and hospitality. Please do not look for me or try to follow." I was almost completely gone.

"NO! Zach please do not go," Luna screamed, but it was for nought for there was only a shimmer left. The last thing they heard from me was, "Goodbye... my love..." Those words slowly echoed throughout the room as I completely disappeared from sight.

Luna broke down, crying.
