I dream of a man whose hopes never end.

T

How far will somepony go to save one they love? How far should they go?

A terrible accident leaves one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders clinging to life. While some fight hard to save her, others kowtow to fate, mournfully accepting the inevitable. Is it still possible for her to be saved? Can one's existence persist after life, or is death the end? And just what is that ethereal thing called a soul?

An excellent start to a new epic. Can't wait to see more. Welcome back, DBS! :pinkiehappy:

This one won't be so long. Maybe 10-12 chapters. I'm hoping that way I'll be able to finish it without having to do a dozen rewrites. Ah, but that's not here nor there. Always glad for the support, thanks!

Poor Rarity and Sweetie Belle. I know that feeling all too well. I had a cat once who was like a brother too me, had her to put to sleep, I was crying without end. Losing someone close is never easy.

Time travel is dangerous, and Twilight is doing the right thing, even if it's incredibly hard to do so.

i think sweetie will become sweetie-bot because of the stallions name "Short Circuit"

"She's alive!!! SHE'S ALIVE!!! A HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!" :pinkiecrazy:

At first, Twilight’s eyes danced away from Rarity’s accusatory glare. Then, she found her resolve. Ears perking, she locked eyes with Rarity. “I won’t.”

In theory it could, but I don'T think saving Sweetie will destroy the world.

Turning around, Short Circuit moved to comfort Rarity.

I hope he is an friend here, I somehow don't want this to be a shipping in this situation.

I kind of only want to find out if we get robo sweetiebelle which is why I'm kind of speeding trough this story right now, no matter how bad that decision might be.

Now I think if I like what I see I will have to reread the whole thing a bit more slowly.

I kind of hope it takes a good ending for them, I mean not that all of Equestria and Twilight Sparklebutt and her princess club are going to go all out on rarity with everyone and the whole world being against her.

No matter how wrong that maybe was, I'M somehow against Twilight here.

That was interessting, but Robo Sweetie happened so late and I was so interessted in what happened and the tension, that I needed to read it in one swift motion, in a way where I still undertand everything, but maybe not the details.

I will probably hate it if Twilight should act like princess asshole towards Rarity. A small part of me is thinking that it's not her place to berate Rarity for more than maybe taking a person out of the hospital, but then again she was dying anyway and no one wanted to help and stuff. Well this is not an easy topic to argue about, but I think it's not so simple that Twilight can just start acting like a jerk in later chapters and everyone agreeing with her.

Maybe one of the princesses could actually be on Rarities side, at least morally wise?

Holy sh** the reactions from everypony so far are SPOT-ON. Brilliant writing.

“Yer talkin’ about a sin against nature itself!”

*the world's smallest violin is forced to retire when an even smaller violin is invented specifically for this statement*

There is no such thing as a "sin against nature", nor has there ever been. It's just shorthand for "this makes me uncomfortable so I'm using its unnatural status as an excuse to dislike it".

“I’m going to go get a few things ready,” he announced to an audience he knew was deaf to his voice. “We will have her good as new in no time.”

Translation: in more than 8 months.

Please continue this!!! This is one of the best Sweetie Bot stories I've seen!

Ahhhh I think I remember this story a bit more than I thought, but sadly as usual I don't remember the details anymore that maybe made the story good. I only remember that Rarity and someone else try to save Sweetiebell after looking again and make her a robot. Her friends and or the princesses are going to punish her for it, or try it.
I don't remember my arguments but i was on Raritys side.

He went on to explain, “She can run on the battery alone, but you’ll need to charge the capacitor with your magic for her to maintain complete function. It doesn’t last all day like the battery, so you might need to charge it two or three times a day.”

twice would have been better i think, I already see the sad moments comming includnig teh recharging and what Sweetiebelle can't do.

NO matter how god she means it, i feel as if Twilight is the bad guy here.

The magic faded, and Rarity withdrew her hoof, ignoring the flitting urge to strike Twilight. “If only you’d have gone so far to save Sweetie,” she retorted, stepping by Twilight and toward the door. Before she could make it more than a step, a nurse and doctor appeared in the doorway, blocking the only exit

Such moments are a little bit complicated, but I could understand Rarity hating Twilight in that moment and especially that she maybe thinks she would know what's the best for her.
I don't even know if I can say that Twilight is just not knowing what happened, or if she is just denying the possibility here. I'm not exactly hating her, but I guess in this chapter she is the bad guy (but not really bad guy) and I understand Raryties anger.

No matter how others might see it, I just want her to keep that hate for Twilight for a while and it being a thing that Twilight needs to work on if she wants to be forgiven. I know she thinks she is doing the right thing and maybe hasn't earned that punishment, but i don't see why it couldn't happen that way if in another story only one get's the whole blame for something the other did wrong too.

“Sweetie?” Grabbing a quill in his aura, he grabbed a pad and scribbled a bit. “You mean Sweetie Belle? Your little sister.”

oooooooooohhhh Twilight:facehoof:
Just plainly thinking your friend is crazy without really listening again.

I finished it now and like I said, it's just a small thing I wanted to happen, that Twilight is just not easily forgiven, mostly because Rarity felt that strong and partly because I could understand her. (I only can explain it so good in english).
It would be nice to see that Twilight understands the mistake since I don't even remember if she gave her the chance to explain it at all in this story so far, not in this chapter at least it seems.

Nice chapter, it got me to feel the feels again. I guess it's a topic I can get into and I would like the "opening" arc of this story to be over soon too even if I liked it.

This story really touches on a moral gray area.

Not sure if you agree or dissagree with me, but yes that made it difficult to make my mind up when writing the comment, but I choosed to be on Rarities side, that is at least what I remember from when I was writing the comment.

I just like it to see when some characters stay a bit mad or if others need to actually confront the situation they caused. I tried to described Twilight making Rarity mad at her. I'm not even sure what to think about Twilight potentially forcing Rarity to go to that psychatrist, or did that actually happen this way? I need to take a look again.

This is the longest a Sweetie Bot story has taken to get to the Sweetie Bot part.

I really dig how “Sweetie Bot” is this fic’s Carrot On A Stick and not the immediate premise. Not only is it unique, it means we the readers are just as anxious as Rarity is to see Sweetie activated and ‘alive’ again. The promise of a terrific Sweetie Bot portrayal is what keeps us excited instead of exasperated after being strung along for going on 26,000 words at this point.

Good things come to big sisters (and readers) who wait. And I am oh so willing to wait for the next chapter. You have all my encouragement to keep going.

AHAHAHAHAHA! Just like Sweetie Belle, this fic lives again!

Nice to see more!!!!!

When I realised that this fic got another chapter, I literally jumped for joy on the realisation that one of my personal favourite fics was still being updated! :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

When I saw this story updated, I literally read it from the beginning just to remember what the story was. So... can we expect the next update to be before MLP Gen 5 aires?

I suppose that depends on when they plan to start airing...
But in all seriousness, I hope to have another chapter in a month or so. However, it all depends on my muses and my work schedule.

Well, I look forward to it either way (even if I have to reread the story again just to remember what it was I was looking forward to).

10115407
Eh... not well, i'm afraid. I have time off this weekend and next, but I wouldn't hold my breath on anything being ready this weekend. Next. Maybe.

I can't wait for the next chapter.
