Later on:

“Okay… No maintenance workers tonight. That makes this even easier.” J said, looking back at Star. “You really sure you’re up for brea-” He stopped as he saw Star was already inside.

“You talk too much.” Star said, motioning J inside.

Just as J stepped into the school they both heard someone grunt from near the statue.

“What the hell was that?” J asked, looking to Star.

Star and J turned around and saw Twilight sitting in front of the statue, looking dazed as she glanced around the area.

J mumbled something to himself before looking at Star, “Do you know her?” He asked.

“That would be Twilight Sparkle…” Star said with a little confusion obvious in his voice.

“You said that they sent you through alone…” J said, looking over at Twilight. “And… You ended up on a roadside… Not in front of the school…” He looked back to Star, “Well… Best option would be to finish what we started but… That wouldn’t be the right one…”

“What do you mean?” Star asked.

“Well she obviously came for it too… And the more help we have the better.” J said

J and Star both heard another grunt. They turned back to Twilight and saw a small dog sitting next to Twilight, looking almost as dazed as her.

“Oh great a dog…” J sighed.

Star’s lip quivered for a moment before he started to laugh.

“What’s so funny?” J questioned.

“That would be Spike.” Star said, noticing the color patterns on the dog’s fur.

J glanced at Star before he started walking towards Twilight and Spike. Twilight had already stood up and had a hand behind her back and a hand on her forehead, seeming distressed.

“You alright?” J asked as he approached her.

“No!” Twilight snapped, turning to J for a moment before looking down at Spike.

“Yeaah… Just trying to be friendly.” J said, “Not for everyone I guess.”

“I’m sure they’re not permanently gone.” Spike said reassuringly.

“Holy shit a talking dog.” J said, his mouth falling open.

“Holy shit a talking whatever you are.” Spike said, looking up at J.

“Too bad I don’t hurt animals. I’d love to see how far I could send your mutt ass.” J said, staring down at Spike.

Spike just stared up at J unimpressed for a few moments. His face slowly fading to an emotionless one.

“God. I’m just going to go back to taking the damn crown.” J said, waving his hand as he turned around and started to walk back to Star.

“J?” Spike asked quietly.

“Mmm. Talking dog knows my name. Not surprising anymore.” J said.

Twilight was staring wide eyed at J. “J… Is that yo… you?” She mumbled.

J stopped and turned to Twilight, “Yeah.” He said.

Twilight stood there silently as tears ran down her face.

J bit his lip for a moment before walking up to Twilight and opening his arms.

Twilight wrapped her arms around J and pressed her face into his chest. J heard a whimpering as Spike clung to his leg.

J wrapped his arms around Twilight. He closed his eyes for a few moments.

“Can you see how loved you are?” Star asked as he approached.

“Yeah… Yeah I can…” J said quietly. “And… Now… More than ever… I want to go th- Back…”

“We…” Twilight mumbled.

“I know this is very surprising but he’s back and was never dead. I don’t know why he’s here.” Star said.

“Come on… The school’s empty you can… Explain what happened on the way to the main office.” J said quietly, slowly removing his arms from Twilight.

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

“So Discord went on a rampage after I left?” Star questioned.

“Yeah. I guess he thinks without the elements he’s not threatened.” Twilight said.

“Even more reason to get back as soon as possible.” Star said.

J suddenly leaned against the wall and grabbed his head again.

Twilight, Star, and Spike turned to J. “What’s wrong?!” They all said.

“Fu… P… Pounding… Headache…” J grunted as he braced himself further against the wall.

“What do we do?” Spike asked quickly.

“I don’t know!” Twilight said.

“Nnn…” J mumbled. After another minute he started breathing heavily but had let go of his head. “It’s… it’s gone…”

“J are you alright?” Twilight asked worriedly.

“I’m fine… It’s just. I don’t know what…” J mumbled.

“What?” Spike asked.

“N… Nothing.” J said quietly.

“Hey… where’s Star?” Twilight asked. Everyone looked around to see that he had disappeared.

“I don’t know…” J said, “We need to find him. Spike you’re a dog why don’t you track his scent?”

Spike started sniffing, slowly making his way down the halls. He lead them to the doors to the currently darkened lunch room.

J pulled on the door and it opened up. The three of them entered and they found Star passed out on the floor, lying face down on his stomach.

“We found him.” Spike said.

“Yeah but this isn’t good…” J said as he kneeled down beside Star.

“Is he okay?” Twilight asked.

J’s eyes widened, “His nose is bleeding…” He said.

Twilight stared silently at Star.

“What’s going on with him?” J asked, looking back at Twilight.

“We… need to get him back…” Twilight said shakily.

“Make sure nothing else happens to him.” J said as he stood up.

“Where are you going?” Spike questioned.

“We need the crown to get back. And I know where it is.” J said as he ran out of the lunch room and down into the main office. J got into the office he searched around until he found the safe the crown was being stored in.

“Can’t ever be easy to get something can it?” J asked himself as he got down on his knees in front of the safe. J looked over the safe before he started to go through old combinations for it.

After a few tries the safe opened.

“Finally… Now we can get the hell out of here…” J said to himself.

J felt an immediate pain as something smashed into his foot.

J yelped in surprise and pain and jumped back, holding his foot tightly.

“I’m glad to see you made it easy for us.” A familiar female voice said, giving a small laugh as she took the crown out of the safe.

“Goddamn it… You’re fucking stupid… I’m trying to help Star…” J said.

“Why would I care about that loser?” The voice said.

“Wha…” J mumbled.

The lights flickered on and a woman with red and orange colored hair was standing there with the crown.

“Fucking hell…” J said.

“Oh that was easy.” Diamond Tiara’s voice chimed in.

“Mmhm.” Silver Spoon chuckled.

“Rule one of robbing something. Nothing’s ever ‘That easy’.” J said. “You know I didn’t come in here alone right?”

“Yeah we saw Twilight and her mut.” The unnamed woman said.

“Wait, just Twilight an-” J stopped and smiled.

“What’s with you?” Diamond asked.

“Nothing. It’s just you have no idea what’s coming.” J said.

“I’m pretty sure I do. Oh boys!” The woman shouted. Three men walked into the room, one short one at around 4 ft, and two others about 6’2.

“Why don’t you introduce yourselves.” The woman said.

“Rover.” One of the tall ones said, wielding a baseball bat.

“Fido.” The second tall one said, holding a sledge hammer.

“Spot.” The smaller one said, playing with a butterfly knife.

“And we’re the Diamond Dogs.” All three of them said.

“Muscle eh?” J asked.

“Yeah we’re the muscle.” Spot said.

“Uh huh!” Rover nodded.

“Muscle!” Fido shouted, smashing the sledgehammer through Celestia’s desk. Everyone looked at Fido and stared at him. “Sorry…”

“Mmm. This doesn’t look to good for me…” J said as he closed his eyes. “Sure I’d probably be able to take out one…” He mumbled to himself. “God if only I’d thought ahead this would have been so much easier…”

“Yeah you’re such an idiot.” Rover laughed.

“So you’re just going to leave me here with the goons so they can take me out?” J asked.

“Not if you don’t be stupid.” The woman said.

“Well I’m still a threat to you.” J said.

“Mm… no not really.” The woman said.

“Oh? What’s to say I don’t have my crew at the ready if they don’t get a message from me with in the hour?” J asked.

“Well then we’d better leave now shouldn’t we?” The woman said, walking towards the exit of the office.

J reached into his pocket and fiddled around with something.

“What are you doing!” Diamond said, taking a step back.

“Pig!” Silver Spoon groaned.

“I guess it’s time for the second rule, ‘Check the exits first’.” J said.

The woman was pushed out of the way by Rover as a small man, around the size of Spot clung to his face. “MMMPH!” Rover’s shout was muffled as he clawed at the man with his nails.

“Keep up the good work Mouse!” Kit said as he ran in just in time to duck under a swing of Fido’s sledgehammer, punching him dead center in the crotch. Fido dropped the hammer and fell to the floor.

“Ohhh… That’s got to hurt…” J commented.

“Idiots!” The woman groaned.

“What do I do Sunset??” Diamond asked uncertainly as she backed against the wall with Silver Spoon.

“Take the crown!” Sunset shouted, tossing it to Diamond who caught it and immediately bolted for the exit.

Fez jumped in front of Diamond. “Mine!” Fez said as he was about to grab it.

Diamond screamed as she pulled out a bottle of pepper spray and shot him in the eyes. Fez shouted in pain and collapsed to the floor.

J quickly tore his phone out of his pocket and started putting something into it.

Rover continued to yell, swinging the bat around randomly.

“MOUSE LET GO NOW!” J shouted.

Mouse immediately let go and went sailing into Spot, sending the two of them to the floor.

A fist collided with Rover’s face sending him sprawling to the floor.

“Mmhm. That’s what I thought.” A tall man with a thick afro, barely contained by the hood he had on, said.

“The fuck.” Rover growled, holding his nose as he looked up at the man.

“Oh you’re still conscious?” The man questioned as he raised his foot and slammed it down on Rover’s crotch.

“Always dick…” Rover gasped, falling to the side in a fetal position.

The man pulled a few tubes out of his hoodie.

“Do something!” Sunset shouted. Fido had just gotten to his feet, recovered from the last crotch shot and charged at the man with his hammer.

The man lit a little fuse on one of the tubes and after a second a ball of blue fire shot out and hit Fido in the chest.

“AH!” Fido shouted, dropping the hammer and covering his face with his arms.

“Roman candles?” Silver Spoon questioned, glancing over to Diamond.

“Heh. Better than my gun amiright?” The man laughed.

“AH YOU DICK!” Fido grunted with each shot that hit him.

The man dropped the roman candles and pulled out a what looked like a hand grenade, his thumb already shoved in the pin.

Everyone in the room froze and stared at the man.

“We’ll ALL make it out of here alive if you drop eveBZZZZZMMMNNPHHHT” The man started shaking violently and the grenade dropped, it’s pin removed. Everyone turned to Silver Spoon and saw she was holding a taser.

“I was scared…” Silver mumbled.

J covered his eyes. Kit and Mouse covered their eyes too.

There was a loud ringing bang and a bright, blinding flash.

J uncovered his eyes and quickly scrambled up and charged Diamond.

Diamond was rubbing her eyes and blinked several times, looking at J just in time to let out a shriek and throw the crown in the air. “TAKE IT!” She said, covering her face immediately.

J still collided with her and sent her to the floor.

Diamond grunted as she hit the floor, a clinking sound was heard shortly after.

J grabbed the tiara and jumped to his feet.

“J wait!” Kit shouted.

“Nnn… bbnnn Fu…” The man stammered as the tasing finally died down and he fell to his knees. “Why you have to always tase the mexican?”

“WRONG CROWN DUMBASS!” Kit shouted loudly.

Diamond jumped up and jumped on J’s back, clinging tightly and hitting him repeatedly. “GIVE ME MY TIARA!” She screamed.

J chucked the tiara at Sunset.

Sunset caught the tiara and stared at it confused. She looked up just in time for Diamond to tackle her.

J stifled a laugh as he picked up the crown.

Everyone heard a whimpering. They all turned to the corner of the room to see Spot, holding his butterfly knife against Mouse’s throat. “Drop the crown.” He said.

J dropped the crown to the floor.

“Good, now back against the wall, ALL OF YOU.” Spot snarled, drawing blood as he pressed the knife a little harder against Mouse’s skin.

J stepped back away from the crown. “If you kill him you know you’ll be in deeper shit then just stealing something…” He said.

“She said that crown’ll make me taller and strong. I don’t give a fuck about this kid.” Spot chuckled. Mouse started to sob lightly.

“How will you use it if you’re strapped to a chair and about to be electrocuted for murder?” J questioned, still backing away.

Spot just stared at J and laughed.

Sunset pushed Diamond off her and stood up, walking towards the crown. She reached down to take it, only for Spike to burst in, grab it and run out. “The fucking hell?!” Sunset shouted.

J remained silent, looking just as stunned as she was.

“Dog took our shit!” Rover said as he and Fido bolted out of the room after Spike.

Sunset, Silver, and Diamond were about to follow when they both heard the two large men that had just run out scream.

“Oh god… We aren’t alone anymore.” J said.

A moment later Spike ran into the room again with the crown, looking extremely distressed. Fido and Rover followed shortly after, slamming the door shut and locking it.

“This can’t possibly be good…” J said.

“The hell are you so scared?” Sunset asked.

Rover and Fido pointed to the door, clenching their weapons tightly. “There’s someone out there.” They both said.

“It’s probably Twilight, she’s the only one not h-” Sunset was interrupted by a knocking on the door. Rover and Fido jumped back and leaned back against the wall next to J.

J stepped in front of the door.

“J?” Twilight’s voice called.

“Yes?” J said, a slight hesitation in his voice.

“Are you okay? You went in here awhile ago and… I sent Spike to see if you were okay. He came out and looked at me like he saw a ghost. It’s… really dark.” Twilight said, sounding slightly nervous.

“E… Everything’s fine.” J said.

“I still… I’m. I don’t know where Star is. Is he with you?” Twilight asked.

“No.” J said fearfully.

“Well I’ll j-” Twilight cut herself off immediately.

“Twilight?” J asked.

“Oh hey… Star…” Twilight said quietly. Everyone stood silently as they heard footsteps walking towards the door from the outside.

J started shaking and his eyes widened. His heart started to pound in his chest.

“Star where… did you get that?” Twilight asked, a little more fear in her voice.

J grabbed the door handle, his body attempting to force him not to.

“What are you doing?!” Fido said quietly.

“Saving… My friend…” J said shakily.

Fido and Rover grabbed J and held him against the wall.

“Let go of me!” J shouted.

Sunset snatched the taser from Silver and aimed it and J. “No one is going anywhere.” She said, sounding a little uncertain of the situation herself.

“If she dies then I swear to God I will KILL every one of you personally…” J growled.

Everyone’s attention shot to the door as they heard an almost ear piercing scream from Twilight.

J struggled against Fido and Rover’s grip. “LET ME GO!” He screamed.

The room grew deathly silent as Twilight’s scream was cut off abruptly.

J stopped struggling and his eye started to twitch.

Spike started to whimper lightly.

J remained silent as tears started to slide down his face.

Everyone was startled as the silence was broken by a slow knocking on the door.

J shook a little more and he closed his eyes tightly.

“J.” Star’s voice called through the door.

J started to cry a little more.

“I just want my friend. Can I have my friend?” Star asked, knocking on the door again.

J started to shake his head.

“What the hell is wrong with him?” Diamond asked shakily.

“I don’t know…” J mumbled.

“Don’t worry, Twilight’s just fine. But I want my friend back please.” Star said. Everyone in the room looked at J. Rover and Fido pushed him towards the door.

“You’re… all… Weak… Spineless cowards…” J said shakily.

Everyone besides J backed up against the wall and stared at him.

J turned slowly to the door and despite the resistance his body was giving him, he grabbed the handle and slowly turned it. Just as the door cracked in J’s direction it flew open, sending him backwards as Star tumbled into the room the Beck on his back. “YOU'RE NOT STAR!” She shrieked.

“What the fuck?!” Sunset sputtered.

J pushed himself up and silently stared at Beck and Star.

“Scatter!” Spot shouted. He, Rover, and Fido bolted out the door past Beck and Star and disappeared out the front door.

“Get back here!” Sunset shouted.

J attempted to get out the door to locate Twilight.

Star tossed Beck off and jumped to his feet, immediately turning to J.

J stopped dead in his tracks and faced Star.

“What the fuck did you do.” Star said, glaring at J.

“What are you talking about?” J questioned.

“You disappeared and now I’m stuck in this dying meatbag.” Star stated, walking up and hitting J in the face.

J reeled back, “What the fuck are you talking about? You’re not making the SLIGHTEST bit of sense!” He said. “I understand I disappeared but I don’t know how or why!”

“You know, if I had known where Star was going or any of this shit would have happened I woulda stayed in Clara.” Star trailed off, sighing as he scratching his head.

“Who’s Clara?” J asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Ou- You and Star’s daughter.” Star said.

“Um… I’m no doctor… But isn’t that a physical impossibility?” J questioned.

“Not when you can change genders at will.” Star said.

J just stared blankly at Star.

“The fuck is up with you? Why can’t you remember this shit, you hit your head or something?” Star asked, smacking J in the side of the head a few times.

“Knock it off. I don’t know what the fuck is going on.” J said, batting Star’s hand away. “And why the hell are you referring to yourself in third person?”

“I’m not himself, he’s himself. I’m me.” Star said bluntly. “Idiot…”

“You’re making absolutely NO sense.” J said. “I don’t… God damn it.”

“I’m not Star, he’s asleep.” Star whispered.

“Yeaaah… And I’m not J.” J said.

“If the hardest thing to believe that something could be living inside your best friend, you need to check yourself.” Star said.

“No. It’s just I don’t believe he’s dying.” J said. “A parasite is nothing new. I did own a dog that loved to eat shit.”

“You used to be a dog that ate shit.” Star corrected.

“Yeah. Yo- Star told me about being a werewolf.” J said.

Beck screamed as she dove at Star, only for him to catch her and toss her out of the room. He closed the door and locked it immediately. “Fuck off.” Star shouted as she started banging on the door.

“Fucking hell… If you aren’t Star then just go away and send him back.” J said.

Star turned to Sunset, who was standing in the corner alongside Diamond and Silver. “The fuck you want?” He growled, making them back against the wall. His eyes shot down to the crown Sunset was holding. “That thing is my ticket home, hand it the fuck over.”

“Come and take it from me.” Sunset said, aiming the taser at Star.

Star walked up to the man and stared down at him. “The hell’s your name?” He asked.

“It’s Funny.” The man said.

Star noticed the roman candles he had and snatched one.

“You’re gonna need something to light it.” Funny said.

Star held out his other hand and stared at Funny.

Funny flipped up a lighter, “I want it back.” He said as he handed it to Star.

“What’s he doing?” Silver whispered.

Star lit the candle and pointed it towards the ceiling. The first shot the the sprinkler and immediately started showering the room in water.

“Heh. Water destroys the charge. Nice idea.” J commented.

Sunset glanced between Star and J silently.

“You done yet?” J asked as he stared at Sunset. “Because I really don’t think you’re winning this.”

Sunset smirked. “Okay, take it.” She said, tossing Star the crown. Star caught it and smiled.

“Thank you.” Star said, turning around and unlocking the door.

“Star wait!” J said quickly.

The door burst open and Beck dove at Star, sending him to the floor and the crown in the air. Sunset snatched it and ran out of the room.

J charged out after her. His attention instantly being torn to Twilight who was on the floor injured. He turned and quickly got down beside Twilight.

“I’m… okay…” Twilight mumbled, clenching her head tightly. “He just hit me with something…”

“I’m still getting you out of here and to the hospital.” J said, beginning to pick her up.

“No n… no… just get the crown and… we can go home…” Twilight said.

“What’s the point of going home if we all can’t make it there?” J asked quietly as he lifted her up and started to carry her towards the exit.

“You’re… just as stupid as… back home.” Twilight mumbled, going limp as she passed out.

J kicked open the door and was quickly intercepted by another man.

“Get your car started now! We have to get her to the hospital!” J ordered.

The man saluted and charged off towards the parking lot. J turned just in time to see Kit, Fez, and Mouse dash past him in a hurry. He glanced back and saw Star in a full sprint towards J with Beck clinging to his back.

J just stared at Star.

Star bolted past J and after Sunset. As he hit the exit, Beck smashed her face at the top of the door and fell off, clutching her nose on the floor as Star disappeared.

Just as Star passed a car swerved up to the curb and one of the back doors was thrown open.

“Beck you alright?” J asked as he set Twilight down in the back of the car.

Beck stood up with a blank expression on her face, ignoring the blood running down her body.

“We’re heading to the hospital already so just get in the car.” J said.

Beck walked up to the car and sat down inside.

J slipped inside and slammed the door shut, the car shooting off shortly after.

Beck scooted closer to J and stared at him.

“What?” J questioned.

Beck put a hand on J’s shoulder, never taking her eyes off his.

“What?” J questioned again.

Both of Beck’s hands shot to J’s neck and started choking him.

J forced her off, “What the hell are you doing!?!?” He growled.

J held her away from him with his foot as she clawed at the air to get to him. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO STAR!” She screamed in a fit of rage.

“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING! WE FOUND HIM PASSED OUT IN THE LUNCHROOM AND HE STARTED ACTING LIKE THIS!” J shouted back.

“I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!” Beck said, digging her fingernails into his leg and repeatedly clawing at it.

“WHY THE FUCK WOULD I DO ANYTHING TO STAR!?!?” J questioned as he kicked her roughly in the chest.

Beck’s eye twitched as she glared at J. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a switchblade.

“H… How’d you get that back…” J asked, now a bit of fear entering his tone.

“I was just wrestling with ‘Star’ for ten minutes. It wasn’t hard.” She said, gripping J’s leg as she raised the blade up. “Now start fucking talking.”

“I don’t fucking KNOW what happened to Star! I wish I fucking did so I could get him back to normal!” J said.

“Hey bitch.” The driver said.

“What?” Beck snapped.

“Stab him and I’ll see what color your brains are.” The driver said bluntly.

Beck responded by stabbing the blade into J’s leg.

J screamed and thrashed around.

The car came to a violent stop and Beck heard a click before something cold and metallic was pressed against her back.

Beck didn’t even turn back to look at who it was, staring at J as she held the knife in him.

“S… So you want to… Risk… Star when he comes back… Finding out you stabbed me? How do you think he’ll take that?” J questioned.

“You’re such a baby.” Beck stated, tearing the knife out.

“Nn… Yeah because I want to save my friend.” J grunted as he stared at Beck. “Jeffery, hospital now.”

“Fine.” Jeffery said as he swung back around and slammed on the gas.

Beck looked down at the wound in J’s leg. “Let me help with that.” She said, spitting in the cut.

J used his other foot to kick her head back against the window. “Fuck off.” He said.

Beck glared at him, clenching the switchblade tightly.

“Fucking stab me again and I’ll slit your damn throat.” J growled.

“I’m the one with the knife. But if you kick me again I’ll cut off all your toes.” Beck said, cutting a slit down J’s shoe and making it come undone. “And now you need new shoes.”

“Hey here’s a fucking idea. Why don’t we wait for Twilight, who seems to know Star a lot better then I do, to wake up and get checked out by a doctor so we can ask her instead of going PSYCHO and randomly stabbing people?!?” J said.

“I dunno, I like that second part better.” Beck said, cutting J’s other shoe apart.

“You’re a fucking bitch.” J said. “I tried to fucking help you and you’re trying to kill me. God damn it. I’m fucking done!”

“Make Star normal and we’ll be even.” Beck said, closing the switchblade and pocketing it.

“I DON’T FUCKING KNOW WHAT’S EVEN WRONG WITH HIM!” J shouted.

“Boy that sounds like a personal problem.” Beck said.

“If you’re so fucking in love with him then why don’t you try to make him normal?” J questioned.

Beck stared at J for a few moments. “Cuz I don’t know how.” She said with another pause before bursting into a fit of laughter.

J stared at her, fear entering him.

“I don’t know and… If you don’t either.” Beck started, starting to laugh again, flipping the switchblade up.

J silently stared at her, shaking a little.

Beck curled up in the seat and licked a little of the blood off the blade.

“We’re almost there…” Jeffery said quietly.

“This knife is the last thing Star touched… It makes me happy…” Beck said, putting the blade in her mouth and sucking on it.

“Holy shit…” J mumbled.

“WE’RE HERE!” Jeffery shouted, as he stopped the car.

“Go in and get some help now!” J said.

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

About an hour later:

“It’s great that you’re alright.” Jeffery said as he accidently patted J’s injury.

“Stop… that…” J grunted in pain.

“Oh, sorry man.” Jeffery said, withdrawing his hand.

“It’s not me I was really worried about.” J said, glancing over to Twilight.

“Quack said she’s gonna be fine.” Jeffery said.

“I know. I was right here when he said it.” J said.

“Mnuh…” Twilight mumbled.

“You’re awake!” J said happily.

“Sort of.” Twilight said.

“Still you’re alright and I’m glad that you are.” J said.

“I’ll go get the refreshment cart.” Jeffery said as he jumped up and ran out of the room.

“So… Other then the concussion how are you feeling?” J asked, gingerly standing up from his bed and stumbling over to Twilight’s bedside.

“Great. how else do you feel when your best friend knocks you out?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t know.” J shrugged.

Beck sat silently in the corner with the switchblade still in hand.

“I know this probably isn’t the best time to be asking this but… Do you know what’s going on with Star right now?” J asked.

“Well… The way he’s acting. I know what COULD have caused it but… I don’t know how he could have gotten any.” Twilight said.

“Okay… Any ideas on how to get him back?” J asked.

“I don’t know but… that’s not what I’m worried about.” Twilight said.

“Then, what are you worried about?” J asked with a bit of fear.

“The nose bleeds? That means whatever this world did to us, did a little more to him. It’s back…” Twilight said.

“What is?” J asked.

“The cancer.” Twilight said.

J closed his eyes and remained silent, he stumbled back to the other bed and sat down on it.

“We can help him in our world but… we need to get him back before it gets too bad.” Twilight said.

“How? How are we supposed to get him back without the damn crown?” J questioned.

“I don’t know.” Twilight shrugged.

“God I need something to drink… When the fuck is Jeffery getting back in here.” J said as he put his head in his hands.

“You’re friends with… Jeffery?” Twilight asked uncertainly.

“Yeah. He’s the guy who drove us here.” J said.

“In our world he’s a psychopath dedicated to killing you and your entire family.” Twilight said.

“Well here he’s still a psychopath.” J said. “But he considers me to be his closest friend and well… We are really close.”

“Yeah we’ll see how long that lasts.” Twilight sighed.

J rolled his eyes and laid back on the bed.

There was a knock on the door.

“Finally… It’s open.” J called.

The door opened and slammed into the wall as Star walked in.

“Fuck…” J mumbled.

“I see everyone was so focused on the princess that no one thought it would be a good idea to go after the bad guy? Or girl in this case.” Star asked, a little annoyance in his voice.

“Excuse me for worrying about a friend.” J said, “Excuse me for wanting to make sure Twilight didn’t die. And EXCUSE ME for having a fucking heart.”

“Yeah yeah heart blah blah good excuses blah blah benevelence blah.” Star waved dismissively, taking a seat next to J.

J sighed and just stared at the ceiling.

Star scooted closer toward J, taking a seat on the edge of the bed and staring down at him with a smile.

“What?” J questioned.

Star slowly ran his hand through J’s hair.

“What the fuck?” J questioned.

“Oh doctor… are you in there?” Star asked.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” J questioned.

“Don’t worry doctor, we’ll be together again soon.” Star whispered, kissing J’s forehead.

“You’re going fucking insane.” J said.

Star laughed. “You believed me when I said I was inside Star, so believe me when I say you’re not alone in that little noggin of yours.” Star said. “Although I’m curious as to why he’s been so quiet…”

J chewed on his lip nervously. “Jeffery needs to get his ass in here…” He mumbled.

Star grabbed J’s jaw. “What are you doing to make him this quiet?” He asked.

J pulled his head out of Star’s grasp and kept silent.

Star glanced around the room and spotted a bag on the floor.

J glanced between Star and the bag.

Star rushed up to the bag and grabbed it, digging around the contents.

“Don’t!” J said quickly, trying to grab the bag from Star.

Star walked away from the bed and continued to search the bag.

“I need those to function!” J said.

Star dropped the bag and had a bottle of pills in his hand. “You’re on meds? MEDS!” Star shouted angrily.

“Why does that matter!?!?” J questioned.

Star opened the pill bottle and looked down at the pills inside.

“I need them!” J said, this time a little more nervous.

Star opened the window and chucked the bottle out it. “You don’t need shit.” He said.

J buried his face in the pillow and covered his ears.

Star sat down quickly next to the bed. “What’s he saying?” He asked.

J pushed his face harder into the bed.

“What’s going on?” Twilight asked.

“Shhhhh.” Star said, holding his finger up towards Twilight.

J had started to cry and was attempting to suffocate himself.

Star yanked the pillow away and held J’s arms to the side. “Listen to him.” He said.

“MAKE THEM SHUT UP!” J screamed.

Star’s smile grew as he stared at J. “Stop it!” Twilight shouted.

“PLEASE! MAKE THEM STOP! IT’S HURTING MY HEAD THEY WON’T STOP SCREAMING!” J sobbed.

Beck stood up nervously and stared at Star.

J started thrashing around violently as he banged his head against the bed. “MAKE IT STOP!” He screamed, a clear agony in his voice.

“Let. Him. IN!” Star shouted, reeling his hand back and slapping J.

J immediatly shut up and his entire body relaxed and his eyes snapped shut.

Star pulled his hand back and stared silently down at J.

J’s eyes shot open and he glared at Star.

“Is that you sweetie?” Star smiled.

Star was immediately kicked off the bed. “What the fuck is wrong with you Xana?” J questioned.

Xana tumbled to the floor and stared up at him. “Did I do something wrong?” He asked.

“DID YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND HIM WHEN HE SAID HE NEEDED THEM!?! THEY WEREN’T STOPPING ME FROM DOING ANYTHING!” J shouted.

“Wh… huh?” Xana mumbled.

“WHAT EVER THAT FUCKING WEASEL DID TO HIM HE HEARS SHIT WHEN HE ISN’T ON THOSE PILLS!” J screamed.

“What are you talking about?” Xana asked.

“You think you have problems? This kid can’t even function when he isn’t hopped up on those drugs. HOW COULD ANYONE WITH HUNDREDS OF VOICES SCREAMING AT YOU!?!” J said, raising his voice to a shout once again.

“I’m sorry! W… we’re in… a hospital! We can just get more.” Xana said quickly.

“Yes. YOU will. Now go retrieve that damn bottle.” J ordered, pointing at the door.

Xana jumped up and bolted out the door.

“Hey…” Twilight said, looking at J.

“Yes?” J asked.

“What did you mean by ‘weasel’?” Twilight asked.
