Sarah opened her eyes and noticed J was already awake. “Hi.” She smiled.

J smiled back and nuzzled her cheek, planting a small kiss on it. “Hi.” He said. “How did you sleep?”

“Great.” Sarah sighed, cuddling closer to him.

“Mm… pumpkin…” Serena mumbled.

J gently kissed Serena’s cheek trying not to wake her up.

“I think we should have a nice relaxing day in the park today… When you can move.” Sarah giggled.

“That sounds great.” J smiled. “Just the three of us… nothing to worry about…”

“Nngh… too many… paperweights…” Serena mumbled.

J raised an eyebrow as he looked at Sarah.

“Ohh yeah… I get it.” Sarah chuckled.

“Should I even… ask?” J asked.

“Not unless you know calculus.” Sarah said.

“I gave up on math after I was beaten with an algebra book.” J said. “Hell I gave up on most of school that day.”

“Then no you shouldn’t.” Sarah said.

“Then I won’t…” J said.

“How about I get us some breakfast?” Sarah asked.

“That sounds great…” J said, slowly kissing down her neck, “Though… I’m a little thirsty…”

“Oh you poor baby…” Sarah said softly, pulling her nurses outfit down enough to let her breasts hang free. “Drink up…”

---------------------------------------

J nuzzled Sarah’s neck and gently rubbed her back, “Thank you Sarah.” He said, kissing her on the lips.

Sarah smiled and hopped up. “I’ll go get some food. Don’t you go anywhere…” She said, walking out of the room.

As soon as the door clicked shut, Serena’s eyes snapped open and she fell out of the bed.

J reached his hand down for her.

Serena immediately sat up and stared at it. She reached out and shook it. “Nice to see you too.” She smiled.

J grabbed her hand and managed to pull her back up into the bed. After it he panted heavily as if it was still a little exhausting for him.

“Stop being strong and rest.” Serena said.

J smiled and pulled her back onto his chest.

Serena climbed onto him and lied herself fully across him. “You’re a lot better than any mattress…” She said.

“Oh? Am I?” J smiled, kissing Serena on the lips.

“Just a little… I like my beds tall and handsome.” She giggled.

J chuckled and nuzzled her cheek. “Well I’m happy you like sleeping on me.” He said.

“And I’m happy that you’re happy.” Serena joked.

“I’m just going to hold onto you for a while longer if that’s alright.” J said, his grip on her tightening a little.

“Sounds good to me.” She nodded.

--------------------------------

Sarah, Serena, and J walked through the park.

“Today is a really nice day.” J said as he looked up at the bright blue sky.

Sarah pushed J into the grass and giggled, quickly being tackled by Serena. They both giggled as they wrestled on the green field.

J smiled as he watched the two of them.

Sarah and Serena both stopped and looked at J with a widening smile.

J’s face blanked.

The two of them tackled J. Serena held him down while Sarah started rubbing his belly.

J started to squirm in an attempt to free himself, “N… no! Th… that tickles!” He said trying to contain his laughter.

“Stop resisting. It’ll only make it funner.” Sarah said. Her magic surrounded J’s feet and started to mimic several feathers rubbing against them.

J’s laughter broke through and he started laughing uncontrollably. “S… stop!” He begged through his laughter.

“Maaaybe… But who are you asking to stop?” Serena asked.

“B… both…” J managed to get out before he started laughing too hard to talk anymore.

The two of them stopped. “What are our names.” Sarah asked.

“Sarah… and… Sere-” J was cut off as they started tickling again.

“That’s Mistress Sarah.” Sarah smiled.

“And Mistress Serena.” Serena said. “Now… Stop what?”

“P… please… stop… t… tickling… me…” J begged weakly.

“Mmm… Okay.” Serena nodded.

Sarah nodded with her and the two stopped, falling into J’s arms and giggling.

J breathed in heavily before smiling widely as he hugged the two of them.

“This is nice…” Sarah said.

“Especially with you two…” Serena said quietly.

“What’s wrong?” Sarah asked.

Serena shrugged.

“Serena…” J said softly. “It’s alright if somethings wrong… it’s just I can’t help if I don’t know what to help with…”

Serena shook her head. “It’s nothing I want help with… It’s you two.” She said.

“What about us?” Sarah asked.

“I… I love you two… I don’t know what I’d do without J… or my little sister.” Serena sniffled, pressing her face into J’s chest.

J remained quiet as he hugged both of them a little more.

Sarah squeezed Serena’s hand. “We’re not going anywhere… There’s no Sarah, without Serena.” She said quietly, beginning to tear up herself and hugged them both tightly.

“Girls… have I ever told you what my favorite song is?” J asked.

The two looked up at him. “No…” They both said.

“Burning In The Skies. It’s an amazing song… sad… and uplifting at the same time… and it always reminds me of something…” J said.

“What?” Sarah asked.

“It reminds me… even if it doesn’t say it in the song… that I’ve got a little bit of time in this life… and I want to make the best of it…” J said hugging them both tightly.

“Well until I can stop time…” Serena said.

“We’re not going to waste a second.” Sarah smiled.

J smiled widely. “What do you say we actually take a walk?” He asked.

“That sounds like fun.” They both nodded.

J helped them both to their feet as he stood up. “Let’s start now…” He said pulling them both close again.

--------------------------------

“I still think apple is better.” Sarah said.

“Apple is pretty great.” J said.

“Yeah okay.” Serena said.

“Oh did you have something to add?” J asked curiously as he looked at Serena.

Serena put her hand on his face. “Shh… walk.” She said, wanting to change the subject.

As the three of them walked by a small fountain Sarah and Serena noticed two men. One of them glanced at J and froze up. Soon after both men were talking aptly about something, throwing glances back at J every now and again until they were out of sight.

“What's with them?” Sarah asked.

“Who?” J asked.

Sarah paused for a moment. “Never mind.” She said.

“Alright.” J shrugged.

Serena turned slightly and noticed one of the men following the three of them. She elbowed J and motioned back.

Just as he was about to turn around to look there was a rustling in front of the three of them.

“Holy shit… he has a gun!” The man behind them said, reaching down to his leg for something.

J turned back around and saw another man holding a revolver. He had a crazed look about him and a creepily wide and murderous grin was plastered across his face.

J without thinking shoved both Sarah and Serena to the sides causing them both to hit the ground.

The man shot his already raised gun a few times all of the shots collided with J hitting him in the chest and stomach.

The man clicked the now empty gun before darting off again.

“No you do- Fuck! He’s already gone!” The other man said as he threw a pistol to the ground in anger.

J twitched slightly before sliding down to his knees. Blood rushed out of the six bullet holes scattered around his torso.

“JOEL!” Sarah screamed, putting her hands to her mouth.

Serena already had tears streaming down her face. “SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!” She shouted.

The second man from before came rushing up as J hit the ground. “Charlie… get some fucking pressure on him already!” The man commanded.

“Right!” Charlie said rushing up to J and turning him over, instantly pressuring his body in an attempt to staunch the bleeding.

J looked up at Charlie and his mouth moved.

“Shh… it’s alright buddy I’m here…” Charlie said as he tried to stop himself from crying. “Deuce I need some help!”

Deuce shut his phone. “An ambulance is on the way… you two help me keep him stable until it arrives!” He said looking at Sarah and Serena. His horn already lighting up.

“J… Just… Look at me.” Sarah said shakily.

J looked at Sarah, “I… I love… you… b… both…” He mumbled weakly.

“We… love you too. That’s why… we’re going to… take care of you.” Serena sniffled.

Deuce’s eyes widened after his horn’s glow had died down.

J coughed out a little blood.

“Oh god…” Sarah said, tears falling from her face.

There was a distant siren from an ambulance.

“T… tell… everyone… h… how… much… I love… them…” J mumbled.

“You can tell them… yourself.” Serena sobbed.

“We can hope…” Deuce said quietly.

A few paramedics rushed up to the group carrying a large stretcher and some medical supplies. “Get him on the stretcher!” One of them shouted.

----------------------------------------------

“Is he… going to be okay?” Sarah asked.

“We’ve done everything we can do…” The doctor said with a quiet sigh, “We can only… make him comfortable now…”

“You haven’t done everything…” Deuce said quietly as the doctor walked out of the room.

“You and I both know him! That’s the worst fucking idea ever, we can’t do that to him!” Charlie said in an angered tone.

“W… What?” Sarah asked quickly.

Deuce sighed, “I’m a vampire… and with enough magic… which I have access to… I could save his life… but… I know he hate’s most if not all vampires… and to force him into that… Charlie’s right… it’s wrong.” He said.

“If he dies… I’m going to blame you… so save him…” Sarah said, more tears falling down her face.

“Let… me think about it a little… alright? My guess is… he’ll last another day… though… I should be able to decide… before tonight…” Deuce said. “I don’t want him to die just as much as you to do.”

“Who are you…” Serena asked.

“Old friends of J’s… one’s who are supposed to be dead…” Deuce said.

Charlie pulled down part of his shirt and revealed the stitching around his neck. “Yeah. Some of us more then others.” He said.

“Okay… Can we… stay with him?” Sarah asked.

“I don’t see why you couldn’t… I’m sure… he’d want you two here when he wakes up for… what may be the last time…” Deuce said quietly.

Sarah immediately started to cry loudly, quickly being pulled against Serena.

Deuce and Charlie walked out of the room shortly after Sarah and Serena head a soft sobbing out in the hall. It faded into the distance after a moment.

----------------------------------------

“So on a scale of 1 to 10… How much did I overdo it?” Star asked, pulling Applebloom and Sweetie against him in a hug.

“I’d… say three.” Applebloom said.

“No scale needed… It was perfect.” Sweetie smiled, cuddling closer to Star.

“Happy to help.” Star laughed, kissing the two on the cheek. “I just thought it’s been awhile since we did anything together so…”

“STAR!” Chrysalis called from downstairs.

“And now I will save you from her wrath. Stay here.” Star said, hopping up and walking out the door quickly.

Chrysalis was holding Star’s phone, “You’ve got a few texts.” She said, holding it out for him. “Don’t worry I didn’t read them.”

Star took the phone. “Thanks.” She said, clicking the phone on and scrolling through the messages. He looked up at Chrysalis with a semi-worried expression before dialing J’s number. When the phone was answered Star’s eyes widened slightly. “Easy easy… What’s wrong?” He asked. “Why are you two… crying?”

“Crying?” Chrysalis asked sounding worried.

“Is… Is he alright?” Star asked shakily.

“Oh… god…” Chrysalis mumbled, tears already welling in her eyes. “It’s… happened…”

“Just… everything is going to be fine. Panicking won’t help…” Star said calmly.

“Y… yeah he might survive…” Chrysalis nodded to herself.

“Just… don’t leave his side. Call us if… anything happens.” Star said. “I know… I love you too…”

Chrysalis had curled up into a ball on the couch and was shaking silently.

Star hung up the phone and tossed it onto the table. He quickly rushed over and held her against him. “It’s going to be fine…” He said quietly.

Chrysalis was still shaking, “W… what… ha… happened to him?” She asked shakily, fresh tears sliding down her face.

“He… was shot… six times.” Star said hesitantly.

“D.. did… they at least… massacre… that bastard that... shot him?” Chrysalis asked quietly.

Star tightened his grip around her and stayed silent.

Chrysalis started to sob loudly.

Star shook slightly and tears fell from his face. “Everything… will be okay…” He said shakily.

The basement door opened up, Funny and Pinkie walked out shortly after.

“We heard crying… what’s wrong?” Funny asked.

Star shook his head. “Nothing…” He said. His eyes closed for a moment. “No… It’s… it’s not nothing.”

Funny glanced nervously at Pinkie for a moment.

“Tell us Star…” Pinkie said hesitantly.

“J was shot… He’s in the hospital.” Star said.

Pinkie’s eyes widened. “W… What?” She stammered.

“Y… you can’t… be serious…” Funny said. “You… you just can’t be…”

“But don’t worry… He’ll… be fine…” Star said with a forced smile.

“How many… times…” Funny questioned shakily.

“Six…” Star said.

“And… how…” Funny started before tears overtook his words.

Pinkie clung to Funny and started to sob into his chest.

Funny hugged Pinkie tightly. “I… is… anyone… w… with him…” He questioned through his tears.

“Sarah and Serena… They’re mine and Pinkie’s kids. They won’t leave him…” Star said quietly.

Funny remained quiet and hugged Pinkie a little more.

“All we can do is… wait now.” Star said uncertainly.

---------------------------

Deuce, Sarah, and Serena stepped into J’s room.

“I’ll need you two… to hold him down… just incase something happens.” Deuce said. “I’ve… seen that when a man knows he’s dying… he can reach his strongest…”

Sarah and Serena nodded. Their magic sparked to life and surrounded J, holding him down.

Deuce’s own horn lit up and J’s eyes shot open. Deuce walked up to the bed and leaned down beside J. “I’m… so sorry…” He said quietly before sinking his fangs into J’s neck.

J started to violently attempt to thrash around against the girls combined magic. He let out a muffled scream before a massive flash of light blinded everyone.

There was a loud thud as someone collided with a wall.

When the light faded they saw J still on the bed, though they noticed right away he was missing his wings. His heart rate monitor which had been spiking the entire time was now normal.

Deuce stepped back. “Is everyone alright?” He asked quickly.

“No…” Arina said. “My head hurts now…”

Sarah’s face blanked as she stared at Arina. “E… Excuse me?” She mumbled.

“Oh… that… makes things easier… I think… his body… separated itself… though… how the fuck that would happen… I don’t know…” Deuce mumbled.

Serena began poking Sarah rapidly.

“What?” Sarah snapped. Serena pointed to the horn that was now on J’s head.

Sarah’s face blanked again. “Excuse me?” She repeated.

“And… he’s a unicorn now… I actually… what the fuck?” Deuce questioned.

J shivered a little, as during the episode everything that was covering his body had been thrown off of him.

“And he’s… naked now.” Serena mumbled.

“I… I just give up… I don’t even know what the fuck happened.” Deuce said. “It’s like… someone already fucked with his genetics so much… it just took what I was doing… and… absorbed it…”

Sarah immediately pointed to Arina. “You…” She stated.

Arina raised her arms defensively, “Blame your father for creating me…” She said. “Or don’t… it’s not like I can separate you two from him anymore…”

“Is he going to be okay or not…” Serena asked, staring intently at Deuce.

Deuce scanned J, “He should be… but just a warning… he’ll be thirsty when he wakes up…” He said.

Sarah and Serena looked for J’s phone and immediately noticed a small hole in the window. “And there goes our contacts…” Serena sighed.

Sarah took a seat next to J. “We’ll keep him fed.” She said.

Deuce nodded. “I’ll take my leave then…” He said walking to the door.

Sarah’s magic slammed the door shut and locked it. “You will?” She asked.

“You honestly believe my own death scares me?” Deuce asked.

“Why the fuck would I care what scares you?” Sarah asked.

“We just want someone to kill if this doesn’t work.” Serena said.

“It’ll work… I just don’t want to be around just incase he’s… territorial when he wakes up… I don’t want to go through reattaching my own limbs…” Deuce said.

The door unlocked. “Fine. Then leave.” Sarah said.

“I may not come back. But I’m sure my brother will just love to see J again…” Deuce said as he walked out of the room.

As soon as he left, their attention snapped back to Arina.

“Look… I was forced out… that THING inside J had enough power to do that when Deuce shoved even more power into it…” Arina said.

“Whatever… I just think you’ll be a little confusing when he wakes up.” Serena said.

“Yes… that’s all… it’s not like you don’t want to hurt me because I almost took him away from you before…” Arina mumbled quietly.

“There’ll be plenty of time for that later.” Sarah said.

J took in a long rattling breath.

“And… did you ever think… that maybe the reason why I refused to go with Shining before is because… hey maybe I love you both just as much as J does? And I couldn’t bring myself to keep you away from him?” Arina asked.

Sarah and Serena stood silent, looking down at the floor.

“It’s not like that matters anymore… and it’s not like I don’t forgive you for wanting to hurt me… If I were you two… I’d want to too.” Arina said.

“You’re not… that bad.” Serena shrugged.

“Neither are you two.” Arina said.

“You’re still a part of J… And that makes you family.” Sarah smiled.

“I’m happy that you think that…” Arina smiled.

Sarah patted an empty part of the bed, motioning her to sit down next to them.

As Arina walked over to the bed all three of them saw J move slightly.

Sarah put a hand on J’s arm. “J?” She asked quietly.

J’s eyes opened a little bit.

Sarah and Serena noticed that his eyes had changed color to a more green tint. “What… happened to his eyes?” Serena asked.

“I… don’t know…” Arina said.

“Wh… what… happened…” J mumbled.

Sarah and Serena squealed loudly and hugged J. “Oh my god you’re okay…” Sarah cheered.

“You two…” J mumbled, his other words were so quiet no one could understand them.

Arina tapped Serena’s shoulder.

Serena pulled back and noticed J staring at Sarah’s neck. “Sarah.” She said.

Sarah looked at Serena, then down at J. “Oh… Okay.” She said quietly, tilting her head and making her neck easier to reach.

J looked up at Serena as if needing permission to feed off of her sister.

Serena nodded. “It’s okay.” She said.

J leaned forward and kissed Sarah’s neck.

Sarah’s mouth dropped open slowly and bit her lip.

J pulled back for a moment as if thinking before he licked the spot he was going to sink his fangs into.

Sarah let out a small moan, immediately feeling the area he licked go numb.

Before she could react she felt two little pinches as his fangs sunk into her neck. After his fangs were fully in he started to drink from her body.

Sarah let out a yelp, gasping at the sudden piercing of her skin. “Drink… as much as… you need…” She panted.

J pulled Serena down and his finger started to lightly trace one spot one her neck.

Serena leaned closer, putting her neck closer to his mouth.

After a few more moments J pulled his fangs out of Sarah and licked the two puncture marks clean. They started to heal almost instantly. He kissed Serena’s neck. “You’re both so beautiful…” He said before licking Serena’s neck and pressing his fangs into her.

Serena moaned loudly, her face turning red. “We… love you too…” She mumbled. She looked at Sarah who was fast asleep on the bed, exhausted from the blood drained.

J started to siphon out Serena’s blood.

Serena quickly started to get tired. “I… love you… J…” She mumbled sleepily.

J pulled his fangs out of her and licked her wound clean, “I love you too Serena…” He whispered, kissing her lightly on the lips. “Sleep tight my little angels…”
