I don't know how long you can survive with leukemia, but, sheesh, it's been five years and my mom is still in hospital. And, by five years, I mean five years from when she got the cancer. I, and some other pony, have been worried sick about her. Few words have been said between us for the past five years, but I did get Neo a little something special.
I got her her necklace! I said to her, "It's a special gift. Maybe, one day when I'm gone, I hope it'll give you hope." She jumped up and hugged me and said, "You're the best." We shared the embrace for a few seconds, and then she let go.
I don't know how these ponies grow, but, one day, she's as small as Scootaloo or any of the other crusaders, and then, she's the size of Fluttershy! It's weird. One thing I noticed, as that the gradient left her wings, which is good. If they didn't, then something must've been wrong.
Oh yeah, a couple of years back I showed her my gaming setup, and she absolutely loved it. I let her play for a while, joining in on any multiplayer games when I could. And, eventually, she got her cutie mark! It looked exactly the way I had drawn it, which was amazing, it even had the company name! Despite the fact that she was planning with a Sony controller, not a Pony one. Either way, she got her cutie mark!
In the way I describe her, she has a job as an assistant mane hairstylist, but, of course, here, she can't do that here. If anyone else sees her, they'll have a freak out. And I don't want my mom or my friends to spot her. Yes, I've still been going to school, but I've asked my sister to give me loans and such. I have left school, being twenty two, so I need to go off and find a job. My dream job is animation, I've been practicing since I was, like, eleven, so I really want this job. Neo says that she'll be cheering me on while playing some Ratchet and Clank. These five years would've been even sadder than they already are without her...
I'm proud of that pony. So, I went out to get a newspaper, or yellow pages, or something. I can't remember. When I got back, I went inside, and instantly heard a knock on the door afterwards. I set down whatever I had bought on the nearest coffee table, and answered the door.
You would not believe who I saw at the front door. Her magical, flowing hair, her white coat, her regalia in all its glory... Yup, it was Princess Celestia. Since I've read the FanFiction, I instantly knew what this meant, so, you know what I did? I slammed the door in her face. It's what she deserves for what she was going to do. Unfortunately, five seconds after I had closed the door, it opened back up again, with a less than amused Celestia standing there.
"You know who I am. Let me in."
"NO! I won't let you take her away from me!" Princess Celestia pushed me out of the way anyway, almost impaling me with her horn. Rude. She sat down on a couch, showing no sign of leaving.
"Let me explain. Please, have a seat." I was annoyed about being told what to do by a giant pony, but I obeyed anyway. I stomped grumpily to the couch opposite her and flopped onto it. I decided to let Neo know about this.
"Neo! Come downstairs!"
"Come on! I'm almost finished with this level!"
"Down! Now!"
"Finnneeee...." I heard a door opening, followed by the sound of steps. Neo came down and went into the living room, and was surprised by who she saw. She was aware of the show existing, and so, she knows where she came from. I told her all I knew (I even told her my OTP.... Hehehehehe.....). She soon took a seat next to me.
"hey, what's going on?"
