Chapter 23: It's Been Fun

I was sleeping in my house when I felt something on my leg. I moved my leg a little when something stabbed me. I got up and looked down. I saw a black vine with large spikes.

"How did this get here? My house should be secure."

I followed the vine back to the source. It came from a window. The window's should be secured. At least now I know that it's not. I have to fix it. I got rid of the vine and fixed the window. I got up and went outside to see the black vines emerging from the Everfree. I just left into the forest to help Zecora leave the forest. I got her out and saw Twilight with her friends looking worried.

"There you are!"
"Huh?"

She tackled me to the floor, kissed me and hugged me. What?

"I thought something happened to you."
"Well, you know me, I can defend myself."

She just hugged me and let go. Discord did show up.

"Well isn't this sweet."
"Go to hell Discord."
"Did you do this Discord?"
"I won't answer that but I will lead you to the answer."
"Same shit. Now Zecora, give Twilight the potion thing so she can see the past."
"What?"
"Talk to Zecora, not me."

I just stood as Twi drank the potion thing. Her eyes began to glow white. The other girls just looked at me.

"What?"
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine. She's just seeing the past."
"And you don't fear that something might happen? She's crying right now."
"Nope. I know what will happen so I have nothing to fear. Besides, she's in no physical harm. And if she was I would stop the threat."

Twilight came out of her little peek into the past, hugged me, and took another sip. Her eyes began to glow again as she saw into the past.

"So Discord. Why did the vines not come out earlier?"
"I don't know. Should have come out ages ago."
"Even if the tree of harmony protected itself. Wouldn't the vines spread around it?"
"Good point. Well, who knows."
"Discord! You did this!"
"Yes, he did! Now lets go."

And with that the girls all left, found the tree of harmony, had a hilarious time trying to figure out how the keys worked for the lock. Once Pinkie was successful they got the box open and unlocked rainbow power. Then the quickly magicked up everything and fixed shit. They restored the elements back to the tree of harmony. It was a happy moment. If only those lasted. As we were all walking home I felt a vibration in my pants pocket. I looked and saw there was a timer on my device.

"Oh no."
"Hmm? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, kind of. I'll tell you later."
"It better be by tomorrow."
"Haha."

I looked at the timer. Twenty four hours left. That meant at night around eight tomorrow. Shit. I sighed. Better make the best of things. I walked with Twilight to the library. I had asked if we could have slept together. She of course had said yes. We were in bed as I turned to her. Welp, I should make the next twenty four hours count

"Hey Twi . . ."

I awoke to see Twilight over me, her wings hanging off the sides of the bed loosely.. I smiled as I brushed aside her mane. I sighed and checked the timer. Fourteen hours left. I sighed. I got up quietly as to not wake Twilight. I went downstairs and began to make breakfast. Simple pancakes. I guess the smell woke her up because she was up not long after I began to make breakfast.

"Morning Twi."
"Morning."

She yawned and sat down at the table.

"What are you making?"
"Pancakes."
"Smells delicious."

The breakfast was just about done. I served us the food and we ate in relative silence. That's when I realized how silent it was.

"Hey Twi, where is Spike?"
"Huh? Oh, He's with Rarity. Rarity needed help with something and Spike immediately marched off with her. It was a big project so he had to be there the entire night."
"Oh, okay."

I took out my device from my pocket. It was counting down. Twelve hours left. I sighed. Around eight tonight. Wow. . .this is depressing. Twilight seemed to notice my facial expression sadden.

"Are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, no i'm fine."

I lied. I had to. And I have to make this count

"Hey Twi?"
"Hmm?"
"Want to go out and eat somewhere later today?"
"Like a date?"
"Yeah, you could say that."

She smiled. Oh how I wish it would stay there. This perfect moment. But everything dies eventually. Everything has its end.

"Sure. I know a place too."
"Great."

I was waiting in the living room. Twi had to put some books away. I looked at my device. Seven hours left. We had passed the time talking about life. Yeah, some deep conversation about the mysteries of the universe. And the mysteries of life. Anyways, she finally came out.

"Ready?"
"Ready."

We walked or a while until we entered a semi fancy looking restaurant. We entered, and a waiter led us to our seats. We were brought glasses of water and the menus. They had multiple salads and hay fries. Twilight ordered hay fries and a salad. I just took a salad and then asked for more water. Soon enough they brought us our food. We ate our food in relative silence.

"How's your salad?"
"Okay. I just wish they didn't add some hay here and there."

I say that last part fishing out some more hay from my salad. Twilight just giggled and smiled. This was such a happy moment. Why does it all have to end? We ate some more and soon enough we were walking out of the restaurant. I looked at the device. Five hours left. I sighed. NO! No time to feel bad. I have to make today count.

"Hey Twi, want to hang out with the girls over at the farm?"
"Sure. Why though?"
"I'll tell you why later."

Twilight went to get the girls as I went to my house. I got the only key there was to my house. It had magitech in it so no other key that looked like it would enter my house. It was secure. Hopefully its security would serve a good purpose. With that I put the key in my pocket and went to the farm.

At the farm everyone was chatting. Everyone was having a great time. Applejack Made some pie and Pinkie got some cupcakes. All in all I was having a good time. I looked at my device. . .One hour left. I sighed. We talked and talked. Played some games, and ate. While in my head I slowly counted the seconds go bye. The seconds turned into minutes. And the minutes gathered and gathered. Half an hour has gone by. It was time. I quickly made some paper appear in my hand along with a pencil. I wrote a note to my self. I warned myself. To make the time count. I sent it to the past an d sighed. Now I just had to tell the girls.

"Girls come here!"
"Coming!"

They all yelled that word. They semi ran in my direction while Pinkie teleported or some shit and came out of my shirt. The pink one never ceases to amaze me.

"What is it Night Wing?"
"First thing, Twilight?"
"Yes?"
"This is the key to my house. Use it to keep things safe and secure. And only access the lowest level if there is a severe out brake of war."
". . .Why are you giving me this?"
"That leaves me to my second point. . .yeah. . . how do I say this?"
"Say what?"
"Its. . . Remember when I first told you how I came here."
"Yes!"
"No not really. I was kind of bored when you told us."
"In any case, I was brought here from my universe into this one. I was meant to come here for a while and then go back home. But something prevented me from going home. And now. . ."
"Now what?"
"The people I worked for are bringing me back home."

There was silence. They all just took a moment to comprehend what I said.

"You. . .you're kidding. . .right?"
"No. I wish I were."
"You're leaving?"
"Why do you have to go? Why not just stay here?"
"If I could stay here I would. But the way they bring me back is through searching for my being. No matter where I am, they will locate me and bring me back."

We began to talk. I explained to them how me being taken back by force would be inevitable. They all were saddened. No, they were getting depressed by the second. I looked at my device. Fifteen minutes left. When they asked me what my device was I told them how it said when I would be brought back. Twilight was tearing up hugging me. I just hugged her back trying to calm her down. We all sat in silence. We all knew it would be our last moments together. Ten minutes left. Eventually Pinkie suggested that we go to the library. As that's when Twilight and I first met. We all agreed.

"Hey Night Wing?"
"Yes Twilight?"
"I know you said you didn't want to do this in public. But. . . would you sing something until we walked there?"

Eight minutes left. I smiled at her.

"Of course."

Music began to play from the air. God damn magical music coming from thin air. I slowly began to sing.

We entered the library as I still sang. We all sat close to each other on the floor.

We all shared a hug. I felt the wind pick up around me. It was time. Any second now, I would be pulled back into my universe. The wind was getting stronger. I kissed Twilight and told her one last thing.

"I love you."

And with that I could feel myself being pulled. Twilight had just enough time to respond before I was ripped from this universe and pulled back into mine. I fell on cold hard ground. I was a little disoriented. Then I heard multiple clicks from guns. I looked at my surroundings and saw dozens upon dozens of men with guns pointing them at me.

"FIRE!"

All of them shot at once as I lashed out with all my magic trying to escape. I then felt nothing but darkness.
