//------------------------------// // Fear Will Never Shut You Down it only Wakes You Up // Story: Never Alone // by New Spark //------------------------------// ------------------------------------CS--------------------------------- CS couldn’t believe it as he woke up. There was a sickening feeling at the pit of his stomach, and he had a headache. What the Hell had he gotten himself into? Could he do it? Action never put itself in front of his face with such reality ever before. Holy shit. CS had to rob DT Industries. This was just great, in both the serious and sarcastic way. He wasn’t sure he could do it. Actually, he didn’t think he could. He wasn’t a spy he was an IT guy. But… well maybe this could make Equestria better, more fair, more justiced. So that was incredibly awesome. But… what the fuck? He was not a spy. He had no idea how to spy. Heck, he barely even knew how to think like a spy. He couldn’t stop thinking, couldn’t stop being scared and excited both at the same time. What if he was caught? What if he died? What if Whirlwind died? Oh my gosh he had to see her. ---- Okay they were in Whirlwind's parents’ basement, which was a good place to plan a robbery without anyone hearing them. They were both terrified. It’s weird how in the dream they were much cooler about all of this. Um… psychology was hard to figure out. “Oh my God, oh my God oh my God,” Whirlwind said stressed, “Can we even fucking do this? What the fuck? What the actual fucking fuck?” Okay she was probably having a panic attack or something. “You’re a kid, I don’t think you should be doing this,” Cottoncandy said in as calm a fashion as he could. “No I have to do this. I think. Can I? What the fuck? This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for most of my life, why the hell is my brain chickening out now?” She started breathing fast. “I don’t fucking know but I know that I’m not a goddamn spy and neither can I be one.” “Oh my God I’m freaking out. Why am I freaking out?” “Because we could fucking die? I don’t know.” “I… Equestria needs me. I know that.” “What can I do? I’m not a spy.” “Well you are on of the bringers of harmony-” Whirlwind was borderline hyperventilating now, so CS hugged her with a wing. Whirlwind wrapped both of her hooves around him and took a few breaths. “Are you okay?” he asked. “Um… you smell like the forest after a rainstorm. I love it.” She was still shaking, and he was too. He put his other hoof around her and they just spent who knows how long like that. Until they kind of calmed down. “We have to do this, it’s our duty,” CS said. “I know. I’m just… I’ve never faced something like this before. I think it’s even illegal. A cop came to our school once and was all like ‘don’t do crime or you’ll go to jail forever.’ So maybe the less-rebellious part of me is saying no.” Whirlwind said between breaths that seemed to not come out right. “I’m sure it’s illegal.” “It doesn’t help that our justice system is fucked up.” She smiled a sad smile. “Lol yeah, I guess. The ones with more money get better lawyers and it’s bullshit.” “If people were like they used to be none of this would happen. Love, tolerance, harmony, it’s so much better. Less complicated, less materialistic, less exploitative, less disrespectful, less bad for the environment, more helpful to those who need it, more brotherly, more tolerance, more love, less hate.” “We are the ones who have to bring that back i guess,” CS said. “Definitely.” “We have to be brave.” “We have to plan this out perfectly.” “I guess we should start with some research on DT.” The two spent the next few hours in front of a computer. “What the fuck,” CS started, “This is ninety percent propaganda and the other ten percent is useless shit.” “My faith in Equestrian sapient life is fading,” Whirlwind’s emotional state clearly was still slipping. “I’m getting pissed off.” “Nopony’s born evil remember that.” “You too.” “I do.” Okay well obviously that search wasn’t going too well. They might have to rely on more dreams to get a plan. -----------------------------------Whirlwind--------------------------------- She couldn’t fucking focus her thoughts on anything. Her mind kept going off all on it’s own and thinking of every possible situation they could run into and how that would end. She had a mom and a dad and a brother and she needed to keep them safe. Cotton needed to be safe. Equestria needed to be safe. She… half wanted to run away, and half wanted to scream, and half wanted to just fuckig get this over with. Okay thirds. Or not? What if it wasn’t thirds? God why couldn’t she do fractions? Okay well the thing was, she had no idea how to deal with this. Okay the Princesses were with her right? Equestria was with her. But… she wanted her mommy. This was more danger than she’d ever thought she’d be in. But like, if you can’t make sacrifices for your country you might as well not be in it right? “Okay I need some fresh air,” she worriedly. “Me too.” Cotton had a look of tiredness in his eyes. “I wanna fly as fast as my wings can take me.” “Me too.” She guessed, that’s what they needed. Maybe to break the cloud layer. Feel the wind brush against their fur. ------------------------------------------Both--------------------------------------- The next few weeks neither of them could concentrate. There were so many new dreams, where they had to make plans, map things out, get resources, ask for permission for stuff, and create numerous complicated plans with the help of Princess Celestia. It was dizzying how fast things were going, but for truth it was worth it.
