My eyes snapped open. I was still on the hospital bed. Seeker was sitting to my right, watching me. The unstable point was created at the Everfree castle, so that's where they must have gone. Well, either there or the field. I have no idea how to restore my magic, so I'm gonna have to improvise. I still don't know why the city was evacuated. Hmm...

"Are you okay?" Asked Seeker, drawing my attention. "You've been staring at that wall for a while now."

"Yeah-yeah-yeah, I'm fine," I replied, yawning. "We need to get to the Everfree right now."

"What? Why?"

"Because I said so, shut up." I climbed off of the bed and nearly tripped over my own hooves. "Okay, maybe after I wake up properly first. Go get me some coffee."

"Since when did I take orders from you?!"

"Do you really wanna hear the list of reasons why?"

"Uh..."

"Rhetorical question. Go get me coffee." Seeker sighed and left the room, hopefully to get me coffee. I didn't actually like coffee. In fact, I found it pretty disgusting. However, it was great for a quick energy boost without the crash you would get from something like a can of Manticore. Probably. Okay, so I hadn't actually tested to see if you crash from coffee, but Twilight drank it all the time. She also tended to go crazy sometime after, which may or may not be related to coffee crashes.

Maybe I should hang out with Twilight and the girls more, I definitely don't as much as I used to. I think I started to drift away from them around the time Vesper... 'Introduced' herself to them. I should try and get Vesper to make amends as well. It'll definitely help with the boredom after all of this is over.

Seeker came back into the room with a polystyrene cup of coffee and hoofed it to me.

"Thanks," I thanked. I drank the coffee.

"So what did you find out?" Seeker asked. I stopped drinking for a moment to answer.

"It's a government conspiracy thing. Basically."

"Is... Is that all? You think it's a conspiracy?"

"It's not just that I think it's that, it really is that."

"Says the stallion that claims he's from an alternate universe."

"Yes."

"If what you're saying is even true, why aren't you rushing to stop it?"

"They don't actually know they're killing two universes, so when I explain it to them they should stop."

"Then what?"

"I get laid."

"No, I mean what's the next move?"

"I know. Getting laid is the plan."

"Oh. With anypony specific or...?"

"Yep."

"Who?"

"Sky Calculator." Seeker snorted.

"Good luck with that."

"What do you mean?"

"I really don't think she'll sleep with somepony like you."

"Well she's already agreed to it, so there's that."

"What?!"

"But then I accidentally knocked myself unconscious on a door after gassing an army."

"That-!" Seeker sighed. "Whatever." I finished my coffee. "So what are you going to do?"

"Spread her legs and-"

"No-no-no! I meant about the government thing!"

"Oh, right."

"What the Tartarus is even going on?"

"The government wants to restore the Elements of Harmony by going back in time and changing stuff, not knowing that they would end up destroying this Magi and the one I'm from because my daughter from the future of both universes caused a paradox by meeting me."

"Oh?"

"Yep."

"You realize that I don't even slightly believe you?"

"Yep."

"Good."

"Yep."

"So what's the plan?"

"They most likely went to the Everfree castle to go back because it would be convenient for them in getting the Elements and there's also a good chance that the fabric of reality is weaker at that point because the prophecy was disrupted there."

"What prophecy?" I sighed and facehoofed.

"I'll explain on the way." I summoned a Support Circle underneath myself. "Get on the Circle." She did and I flew us towards the Everfree.


I landed us not far from the castle and fell to the ground, gasping for air.

"Are you okay?" Asked Seeker, who was now caught up on the ongoing events.

"J-Just... Just gimme a minute..." I wheezed.

"What's wrong?"

"T... Tired..."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Uh..." Maybe Zedonga can make one of those potions that Celestia gave to me before. "Yeah... Yeah, there is..."

"Good, what do you need?"

"Somewhere... In this forest... There's a Zebra... Ask her- Him, for... A potion to give me normal energy..."

"How do I find this Zebra?"

"Fly above the trees... Look for smoke... Find the hut..."

"Okay." Seeker flew out of the forest to find Zedonga. And now I hope I don't get mauled by monsters. As I lie here. Unable to defend myself. Suddenly this plan doesn't seem so solid. ...Wait, I'm in a forest... When was the last time I cast an anti-bug ward on myself?

Why must my mind go to these places in my times of need?
