"That's why Pinkie is here. She has been staying with me since then, and, well, were here now."

Twilight was getting tired of recounting of her story of Pinkie's innocence, but she kind of had to considering that Shining had no clue about it, and the fact that he threatened Pinkie to cut her down where she stood after the doctors had left alone.

"I guess that would explain why Luna went completely ballistic earlier. I thought she had just went insane, but I see she has her eyes set on bigger goals. Well, good thing Princess Celestia got you guys out of there."

Twilight thought about her mentor and guide. She didn't know how much time had past, but as she looked out to the window and saw the position of the glowing sun, and she determined that it had to be around midday. She wondered how Celestia was doing, and hoped that she would be alright. She knew it was only this morning that they had reconciled, but it felt that even with her gone all those years, she still had that connection with her.

"Well, I have to get going."

Twilight snapped herself out of venturous mind and looked over to her brother who was now heading for the door.

"Where are you going?"

Shining turned his head and let a small smile come across his face.

"I got to get back to the other guards. I'm sure Silver is losing his mind by now, so I probably should help him before he gets his mane in a bunch."

Twilight scrunched her face in confusion as she heard the name of Silver.

"Who's Silver?"

"He's the lieutenant. He was put in charge when me and.." he trailed off as he was about to say Blaze.

He didn't want Twilight to know that some pony died trying to save her. He had heard her tale and really didn't want her to feel any worse than she already did.

" Well, when I left to come get you, I put Silver in charge."

Twilight noticed his quick cut off. She knew her brother well, and she knew when there was something bothering him. It was her BBBFF after all.

"Shining, is there something wrong?"

Shining turned his head to look at the door. He sometimes hated how Twilight could tell when there was something eating at him. He knew that she was a very intelligent unicorn, the Princess' hoof picked student no less, but why did she always have to know if something was wrong with some pony?

"No, just a bit stressed out with everything ya know?

He knew his sister wasn't buying it one bit.

Well, I got to get back to the other guards. I'll be back soon to check on you again. Take it easy Twily," he turned his head back but to face Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie had been standing quietly, which was unusual for a pony like her, and only listened. She had other things on her mind that concerned her of what she had become when she fought Luna.

"You too Pinkie. Sorry about, well, threatening you and stuff."

Pinkie snapped out of her stupor and put on a fake smile for Shining Armor.

"Oh, it's okay silly! Don't worry about it."

Shining Armor turned and left out the door and left Pinkie Pie and Twilight alone together. Pinkie went back to her pondering as she thought about Pinkamena. She was scared of what she had become, but it was only now hitting her considering everything that had happened to Twilight, and her mind was too occupied on saving her marefriend at the time. She remembered the laughing in her head and feeling a surge of happiness and excitement as she relished thoughts of death and blood pouring over her. It made her sick to her stomach to think she actually was excited over that kind of stuff, but was it her or Pinkamena that had felt like that? She knew she was there, but she also felt like she wasn't as if she was sitting back and watching a very scary movie right through her own eyes.

"You okay Pinkie? You been real quiet there, and we both know that's not normal, even for you" Twilight said jokingly.

Pinkie was shaken out of her head once again, and looked at the lavender unicorn.

"Oh sorry Twilight, my head's been going around and around in circles and it's really hard to think when your heads going that fast you know? I mean, what if my head spun soo super fast that it flew off my head? Would that hurt? I don't know if that would hurt, but if your head is spinning-"

Twilight shoved her hoof in Pinkie's mouth from her ongoing rambling.

"Pinkie, your head is not going to spin off. It's not scientifically possible, so just calm down and tell me what your thinking about."

Twilight removed her hoof from her pink mouth.

Pinkie didn't want to tell her about Pinkamena. She was afraid that if she told her about how insane she was and the things that she felt, such as the excitement that filled her when she was about to kill Luna, that Twilight would think of her as a monster. That's what Pinkamena was...a monster.

"Oh it's nothing, I was just thinking about how big of a party I should throw when you get better!"

Pinkie cracked the most forced and fake smile she had ever given in her life. She could only imagined how she looked like. The only thing she could think of looking like was when Applejack had lied to her and gave her the biggest, forced, and nervous smile, as the orange pony tried to keep her out of her barn.

"Oookaaay then, nevermind."

Twilight knew something was up. She wasn't stupid or completely oblivious, but she really didn't want to take the time to try and pry into having Pinkie tell her what she was really thinking either, so she decided to just let it be for now. She had other things on her own mind as well. She wanted to know why she had seen something that looked like spectral veins in Pinkie and her brother earlier, and what was going on with Celestia. She also wanted to know why she kept failing. She knew she didn't beat Luna, but she had also forgot the reason they were there in the first place. They needed Luna's necklace, and she was to wrapped up in her thoughts of vengeance, that she compeletly forgot about it. Twilight knew she needed it and she had the perfect oppurtunity to get it, but she lost control and went after Luna, and it ended with her in a hospital bed reviewing her failure.

"I'm sorry for all this Pinkie."

Pinkie cocked her head in confusion of why Twilight was apologizing to her.

"What are you talking about Twilight?"

Twilight was feeling a rush of guilt inside her. She felt terrible that she had almost died, and was willing to die, and almost left Pinkie by herself and hope for the best. She had dragged Pinkie into hell and back, and now Pinkie had to see her on the brink of death earlier.

"I'm sorry I dragged you into all this. When I, well, almost died, I did it willingly. I was willing to leave you Pinkie, and hope that you would be okay without me, and I'm sorry. I'm just so tired of all this. I have been doing this for so long now and the pain never leaves. I miss them and I want to hurt Luna so much and look where it got us. In a hospital with you worrying about me. On top of that, we don't even have the necklace..."

Pinkie Pie wrapped her pink arms around Twilight's neck and pulled her close to her.

"You didn't drag me in this silly. If you wouldn't have found me, then you would still think that I did all that bad stuff. In a way, I'm actually really happy, well, in a weird way."

Twilight pulled away and looked at Pinkie with a face of confusion mixed with astonishment.

"Pinkie, are you saying you enjoy all this? Ponies have died, I almost died, and Luna-!"

Pinkie now shoved her hoof in Twilight's mouth this time and gave her a look of dissapointment.

"That's not what I mean Twilight. I don't like all of this. It actaually scares me. I mean that I'm happy because even with all this crazy stuff happening, I'm here with you. I feel safe with you, and you terrify me at the same time..."

Twilight couldn't believe how sincere and logical Pinkie was sounding. This was way out of the pink pony's element.

" You getting hurt or even the thought of you dying terrifies me. If you would've died Twilight, I don't know what I would've done. I thought you were dead long ago, and when you had me strapped to the table and I saw you, I was happy. I was happy that you were actaully alive, well then I got scared because you were going to kill me, but after all that, I was happy. What I'm trying to say is that Equestria could blow up right now, but I wouldn't care. I have my friend and marefriend back."

Twilight's eyes watered as she heard Pinkie's heartfelt speech to her. She never knew that Pinkie could be so open about her feelings for her. She knew that Pinkie was a pretty outgoing and open pony, but she had never seen her like this, and it warmed her dark heart.

"Pinkie, that has got to be the cheesiest speech I have ever heard." She wrapped her arms around Pinkie's neck and Pinkie returned the hug, "But it means a lot."

Pinkie smiled warmly as she held her unicorn. She was happy that Twillight felt loved, despite all the hate and pain she had been through. They broke away as they smiled at each other, but then saw Twilight's smile turn into frustration.

"We still don't have the necklace though. I promised myself that I wouldn't come back empty hoofed and now look," she said as she held up both of her hooves, "That could have been our only chance to get it, and I blew it." Twilight hung her head down as she now turned her thoughts about the necklace.

Pinkie grinned wildly at her.

"We won't need another chance."

Twilight turned to the smiling pink pony perplexed.

"What are you talking about Pinkie?"

Pinkie smiled even wider as Twilight couldn't figure out what the pink pony had in store for her. She hopped away from Twilight's bed and bounced over to one of the nightstands that stood in one of the corners. She openend the drawer revealing the black gem that they had fought for. She had hidden it there earlier as she felt uncomfortable wearing it, but she didn't want anyone taking it either. So she thought of the greatest hiding spot. The drawer of a nightstand...

"I have a surpirse for you!" Pinkie chimed happily.

She wrapped the golden chain around her pink hoof and bounced back to Twilight's bed and hid it behind her.

"What is it?"

Pinkie found it hard to contain her excitement and pleasure. She knew what she was going to show Twilight would definitly break her out of her sour mood.

"You gotta guess," Pinkie sang.

Twilight was not in the mood for games. She was too busy now thinking about how she was going to get the necklace, if they could even get it now, and now Pinkie was toying with her.

It better be one hell of a surprise...

"I don't know Pinkie. Can't you just tell me what it is?"

Pinkie violently shook her head left and right.

"Nope, you have to guess," Pinkie said as she giggled. She was entertained that Twilight couldn't guess the obvious.

"Alright then."

Twilight grinned as her horn lit up and started to tug at something that was wrapped around the hoof that Pinkie had put behind her back to hide the surprise. Her magic pulled the item away from Pinkie and she levitated it to her.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Pinkie exclaimed as she jumped in the air to grab the necklace, but Twilight kept it high enough where she couldn't even reach it.

Twilight giggled at her as she tried to get her little surprise from her.

"You never said I couldn't."

Pinkie stuck out her tongue at her.

"Meanie."

Twilight rolled her eyes and brought the small item atop her bed covers. She looked down at the golden chain. She followed it until she saw a black gem that was connceted to it. She looked closely and saw a black swirling smoke inside of the black gem. Her heart began to pound violently in her, and her body went cold.

"P..Pinkie..."

Was this what she thought it was? Was this the necklace that she had complained of not getting from Luna earlier? She studied it closer and knew for a fact that that's exactly what it was.

"Pinkie?! How?! How did you get this?!"

Twilight simply couldn't believe it. She picked it up with her hoof and just stared at it as it hung from it's chain and it's gem swiveled slowly in the air. She was boggled and in sheer disbelief that they had it.

"I took it from Luna silly. Where else would I get it?"

Pinkie giggled once again as she saw Twilight simply taken back by what she had. She loved making other ponies happy, especially Twilight.

"I know, but, I mean, like how?!" Twilight sputtered.

She was having trouble even getting her words out of her mouth as she still couldn't comprehend how she was even holding the prized item in her hoof now. Pinkie Pie now smiled nervously as she was quickly trying to come up with some type of lie explaining how she had obtained what was now Twilight's focus from Luna. She was certainly not going to her about Pinkamena. That would raise many unwanted questions, and maybe a very scared unicorn which was the last thing she wanted.

"I just kinda got close enough to her to take it. I just got really super lucky," she said nervously.

Twilight didn't even notice the nervousness in her answer. Her mind was fixed on what she held in her hoof. They had Luna's necklace, which meant they had the very key to bringing back her friends and finally seeing them again. Her mind was simply blank, but her heart was racing inside her. Pinkie had done what she had failed to do, but now her failure seemed to be wiped away now as they now had the necklace in their possesion. She might have not been able to kill Luna, but they did beat her in one way.

"Pinkie. I really don't know what to say. I can't believe that you got this from her. You know what this means right?!"

Pinkie beamed, knowing exactly what it meant.

"I know what it means! I know what it means! It means your really happy right?!" Pinkie cried as she bounced around the room.

Twilight was kind of caught off guard by her response.

Dear Celestia Pinkie. Sometimes I don't understand your thinking.

"Well, um, yes, I'm happy-"

"Yay! Your happy. I love seeing you happy!"

Pinkie conitinued her cheerful hopping as she heard Twilight say she was happy.

"Pinkie?"

Pinkie kept on bouncing as she beamed and giggled.

"Pinkie!"

Pinkie put her giddy bouncing on pause as she turned her head to listen to Twilight.

"Yes Twilight?" she said calmly as if this was the first time that Twilight had called her name.

Twilight laughed. She couldn't help how Pinkie could be so, well, Pinkie, and she loved it. She loved her. Pinkie had brought back a happiness that she hadn't felt for so long, it almost hurt her. Her body was a fuzzy kind of warm inside, and her heart was pumping like it never had before. For a moment, just one single second, it felt like the same happiness she had when she first realized who her friends were. It felt like true happiness.

"Were going to get our friends back Pinkie! Because of you, were going to get our friends back!"

"Well, duh, I knew that silly," Pinkie said teasingly.

Pinkie hopped over to Twilight's bedside once more to bathe in Twilight's sheer joy. Twilght knew there were no words that could explain exactly how she felt, but it felt really, really good. It felt so good, that she pulled Pinkie to her as soon as she was at her bedside and pulled her in for the most passionate kiss she was going to give her pink mare. Pinkie's eyes shot open as she was pulled in and her pink lips met a certain lavender unicorns', but she slowly closed her blue eyes and gave herself to Twilight. It had only been a few days since they had made love to each other, but it had felt like an eternity since the last time they had even embraced each other in such a way. They both wanted to just be locked by each other's lips for the rest of time, but all good things had to eventually come to an end as Twilight finally broke away as she softly gasped for air.

"You have no idea how much I love you right now," Twilight said in the most sincere tone.

"I think I have an idea," Pinkie said as she held her pink hoof to her lips. She could still feel Twilight's soft lips upon hers and she didn't want to lose the feeling of them.

Twilight couldn't help but giggle at her response. She turned back to the necklace that was still wrapped around her hoof and stared into it. The black swirling cloud within it's stony prison was constant and kept swirling and swirling. She knew that her friends souls or essences, which she still wasn't completely clear on that whole concept, was in there, and she would have to find a way to break it and free them, and bring them back to the world of the living. She thought about the moment she would see her friends again and the amount of pure joy and happiness she would have at the sight of them. It was a moment she thought was never possible at one time, but thanks to the little voice in her head that had told her about the revelation, she now knew it was a possibility. Speaking of her little voice, she hadn't heard it in a while.

Hey? Are you still there?

She waited for a few seconds for a response and one came.

Of course. I'm always here Twilight Sparkle.

Where you been? Ususally you like to talk and lecture me. What's going on with you?

Nothing. I am simply watching is all.

Well, that's certainly different. So I assume you see what we have now.

Yes, I see it very clearly. You are very happy about it yes?

Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?

I am glad that you're happy, but realize that you have much work ahead of you. I don't know how to help you with this part, or even where to start Twilight. I only fear that Luna will get to you before you figure it out.

I know that... You can be a real mood killer you know.

I apologize. I will let you get back to your celebrating.

Twilight knew that her little voice was right. There was a lot of work ahead of her, and no doubt that Luna would go looking for them, but she would make it work. She knew that it would be very risky to go back to Ponyville, but Sweetie Belle and Spike were still there, and now a cold fear made it's way into her. What if Luna beats Celestia? Wouldn't she go looking for her and Pinkie, and wouldn't she look for her starting in Ponyville? She would go looking for them, and with Spike and Sweetie Belle still there, she could only imagine what she would do to them.

"Hey Twilight are you okay? You seem to be zoning out again."

Twilight realized that a pink hoof was waving in front of her and she quickly snapped back to reality. She really needed to figure out how she could stop zoning when she was lost in her head.

"Oh, um, yeah, sorry Pinkie."

"Is something bugging you?"

Twilight set the necklace down. Her happiness had left as quickly as it came, to her dismay, and she was filled with anxiety. She was worried for her assistant and Sweetie Belle.

"It's Spike and Sweetie Belle. I'm worried about them. We left them by themselves, and I'm afraid that if Luna beats Celestia-"

"I already took care of that. Stop worrying your little purple head," Pinkie said as she interupted Twilight.

Twilight was just getting a chock load of surprises today.

"You took care of it? Did you bring them here? How?"

Pinkie put her hooves over her mouth as she tried to retain her giggling.

"No silly, how could I do that if I been here with you? When we got here and the doctors started working on you, Shining Armor asked me where Spike and Sweetie Belle were at, in a really mean way too, and I told him that they were still in Ponyville. He said he would have something called an escort to get them I think? I don't what an escort is, but I think it means he's just going to get some other ponies to bring them over here so they can see you."

Twilight's anxiety dispersed as she heard the news. She had completely forgot about her brother. She knew that he knew that she had Sweetie Belle and Spike living with her. How couldn't he when he would come visit her over the years and see how she was doing? Of course, she was grateful that he would take time out of his duties to see her, but she knew she really never showed it, as she was too busy with finding Pinkie at that time. She was now very grateful to him, and she would definitely have to show it next time she saw him.

"You really are full of surprises Pinkie," Twilight said with a small chuckle. Her pink mare seemed to be just taking care of everything for her.

"Well, how do you think I got my cutie mark?" Pinkie grinned, showing her white pearly teeth.

"Oh and I'm not purple. I'm lavender," the unicorn joked. She had caught Pinkie's little remark about her being purple earlier.

Pinkie brought her arm over the side of Twilight's bed and rustled her neat mane playfully as she giggled.

"Of course you are Twilight."

They both laughed together as they joked and teased each other. It was something they both hadn't had for a long time and they both were experiencing something that they hadn't for many moons.

They were having...fun.

They continued to jest at each other and began to even reminisce about the past, and the dates they would go on, and the laughs and mischief that Pinkie would cause.

"Yeah, I still couldn't believe you drank three barrels of cider that night. I had to carry you all the way back to Sugarcube Corner."

Pinkie gigggled and snorted as she remembered her little contest with a certain cyan colored mare.

"You know how Dashie loved challenges and you knoooow how much I love cider. How could I say no to that?"

Pinkie was now laying next to Twilight as they discussed their little antics and episodes of hilarity.

"If you would've had said no, I wouldn't have had to carry you back home, and in case you didn't know, I had to go back and get Rainbow Dash. She was passed out on the floor and I had to drag her back to my place to sleep off all that cider."

"Woah! You took Dashie back home? You never told me that part."

Twilight chuckled to herself as she recalled the image of herself dragging the knocked out pegasus back to her tree home.

"I kind of decided not to. I think the headache you had the next morning was as much as you were going to handle that day."

Pinkie smiled apprehensively as she started to rub her pink head as she clearly remembered the excruciating headache she suffered that morning.

"Your right about that! Only Celestia knew how much pain was jumping around in my head. I even put Gummy on my head, and that still didn't make it better!"

Twilight smirked as she now laid with her mare, and looked up at the white tiled ceiling. It was nice to remember all the good times they had together. It made her forget about everything for a moment, but something wrapped around her hoof took that small moment away. She lifted her arm and brought it over her face as she studied the stone once again. It was still swirling as it did before. She turned over so she could look at Pinkie as she was also looking at the celing sharing the same moment.

"Here Pinkie."

Pinkie looked over at her and saw Twilight handing the necklace to her.

"No Twilight, you should hang on to it. I know how bad you wanted it,"Pinkie said.

"No Pinkie. Your the one who got it from Luna. You should hang onto it. I trust you with it."

Pinkie heard her words and realized this wasn't simply Twilight trying to have her hold the necklace simply casue she didn't want to. It was to show her that she trusted her, and she trusted her to hold onto the very piece that would bring their friends back. Pinkie raised her hoof and took the necklace from Twilight and slid off the bed and stood up. She carefully placed the necklace over her neck until the black gem laid firmly over her chest. Pinkie threw her hoof up to her head and took a saluting position as she grinned.

"You can count on me Twilight. I'm gonna keep this nice and safe. Pinkie Pie never lets her friends down!"

Twilight lifted herself once again so she sat in her bed and she returend Pinkie's grin.

"I know Pinkie. We won't let them down."

This was simply amazing for Twilight. It' been so long since she had actually felt this good. She had faced Luna, been stabbed, almost died, and had the necklace, and this was all in one day. A day that had started out terrible and only got worse, but in the end, Pinkie had come to the rescue and made it all better. It gave her hope. Hope that even though she wouldn't have her revenge on Luna, that Celestia would beat her, and this hell would end for every pony. She would rather have that, and have her friends back, and maybe go back to the once normal life they had. It was great, until she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

"Ow!"

Pinkie looked over to Twilight as she put one of her arms over her chest.

"Are you alright? What happened?"

Twilight put her hoof over her heart as she felt the sharp pain in her chest. She felt her heart pumping increasingly faster, and with each pump, the pain came back. She started to clench her chest as she she felt the pain increase.

"Twilight! What's wrong?!" Pinkie cried as she saw Twilight in pain.

Twilight felt the pain in her chest become more and more excruciating. She started to thrash around as she grunted even louder as her pain increased. Her grunts turned into small yelps. She started to feel her body burning from the inside, and It felt like fire was running through her veins and her blood was boiling. Her yelps quickly turned into full blown screams of pain.

Pinkie was terrified and confused. Twilight was just fine a minute ago and happy, and now she was hwoling and thrashing in her bed in agony. She had to act quickly.

"Twilight! I'm going to get help!"

There would be no need for her to get help though, as several doctors ran in and saw her thrashing around in her bed. They must have heard her agonizing screams. Who couldn't?

"Nurse! Get Doctor Scope Immedialtly! We will try to restrain her!"

The nurse that had ran in the room with the doctors obeyed without question. They all began to hold Twilight down as she thrashed around and screamed in pain. One of the doctors went over to Pinkie.

"What happened to her?!"

Pinkie was simply bewildered. Twilight was just fine a few minutes ago, and now fear had once again set in her as she watched her lavender mare.

"I don't know! We were just talking and she said 'ow' and grabbed her chest and then started screaming!"

Pinkie started to feel tears well up in her eyes as she began to think about if she did something on accident to her. She tried to think to see what could've caused this all of a sudden. She thought about their kiss, how they laughed and joked, and how happy Twilight was when she showed her the necklace. Pinkie's heart froze as she now thought about the necklace, She looked down to her chest and looked at the accursed stone that hung over her chest.

"Oh no," she whispered.

Twilight thrashed and screamed as the burning in her body felt like it was melting her organs and the jabs of shocking pain ran through her chest. The panicked doctors held her down to keep her from hurting herself or others, but all of their eyes were at large at what they were seeing. Sparks of yellow electricity sparked across her lavender body, and Twilight's eyes were burning a bright golden yellow. Twilight knew she was being held down, but it was making the pain worse. Suddenly, she felt her mind going into spirals, and confusing images started flashing in her mind. She saw two crowns laying in a field of fire, one that was a black and the other was golden. She felt something plunging into her chest and she screamed even louder. Something was piercing through her, but there was notihing. More images flashed through her head as she saw a hoof pick up the golden crown and place it on their head. She didn't know who the pony was, but there was a shadow behind the pony. The shadow had two horns and smiled wickedly and almost in a satisfying manner. She felt the same piercing pain in her chest as it seemed to run deeper in her. She now saw a giant puddle of blood on scorched grass and saw a blue sky turning red, but it wasn't the end of it. She now saw Ponyville, and it was burning, and it flashed to her home and a certain dragon and white unicorn. They were burning and screaming. Their flesh was falling off of them as they fell to the ground and their bodies continued burining

"NOOOOO! SPIKE! SWEETIE BELLE THEY'RE BURNINNG! THEY'RE BURNING!" Twilight howled.

The one window in the room shattered as she howled in twisted torment and agony. The doctors that were trying their best to hold her down were terrified, as they have never seen anything like this, and her screams rocked them to their cores. Pinkie could only watch as she saw Twilight thrash and scream about Spike and Sweetie Belle. She saw her yellow glowing bright eyes and the sparks of yellow electricity that danced around her body. She was crying seeing how Twilight was in such pain, and she felt it was her fault. She felt that it was the necklace she had given her somehow as was causing all of this.

"What have I done?" the crying pony whispered to herself.

"Where the hell is Doctor Scope?!"

A light red stallion ran in with a white coat and wore a stethoscope on his head. His eyes were a light blue and had a cutie mark of a heart and stethoscope. He ran over to Twilight as the other doctors held her down.

"What the hell is going on?!" he asked the others as he pulled out a syringe with a long slender needle.

"We don't know! She just started screaming and throwing herself around! She keeps screaming about some other ponies!"

Doctor Scope pulled out a syringe and tapped it with his hoof as a drop of the clear liquid came out of it.

"I'm going to give her a sedative to calm her down. I want every pony to keep her held down! Once I have administered the sedative, I want her in restraints and I want some damn unicorns here to scan her magic buildup. This could be a magical backup due to her injury. Does every pony understand?!"

They all nodded and firmly grasped Twilight down and held her down with all their strength but it was still very difficult. Her body ran with even more sparks of electricity and her eyes now burned a fiery golden yellow as she continued screaming and thrashing.

Twilight was in unberable pain. Her insides were screaming at her, and her chest felt like it was collasping in on itself. Image after image continued running through her mind. There was a library, one she didn't recognize, and then a black palace appeared before her and the ground was littered with corpses, then her mind threw her to another image. There was a pony that seemed to be standing over her and crying as she seemed to yell, but no words were being spoken. She noticed that the pony's hooves were pushing something down into her, and the more she pushed, the more pain she felt in her chest and she could only scream. She started to feel the warmth of blood spilling out of her, but she knew it wasn't hers, but she was feeling it.

"Hold her down!"

The other doctors tried but they were having much difficulty.

Doctor Scope positioned the needle over Twilight's arm and very slowly started to lower it. He had to be very careful, or end up missing or hurting the agonized mare even more. Twilight's screams echoed in Pinkie's head and she was full out bawling. It was all her fault she thought. The necklace had done something to her beloved Twilight and it was putting her through some type of hell. She wanted to make Twilight happy, but instead she had caused a living hell within her marefriend.

More and more images sped through Twilight's mind. They were fast and brief, and she coud barely make out what they were. She saw two massive armies under a red sky, then she saw her arms holding a small foal, and then a black pony with red seething eyes smiling at her. Tears ran out her eyes as the pain to seemed to last forever, but in reality, only a few minutes had passed by, but she didn't know what she was seeing was reality or a dream. One final image flashed through her mind as she saw her arms in front of her holding a pony with a bouncy mane and tail, and there was blood all over her body, and a giant hole in her body revealing all her organs. She knew this pony as Pinkie Pie, and she was dead in her arms. Pain and terror and exteme sadness filled her as she was her pink lover.

"NOOOO! SHE"S DEAD! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD! NO! NO! NO!"

A shockwave of gold magic bursted from her body, and threw Doctor Scope and the others flying into the walls around her. Pinkie Pie felt the wave of powerful magic hit her and she followed suit as her pink back hit the white wall behind her and she yelped in pain. She looked over to see Twilight's body floating horizontally in midair. Giant bolts of golden electricity covered her body, and a golden mist left her eyes,

"SHE CAN'T DIE!"

That one image stayed in her mind. A dead Pinkie Pie was in her arms and covered in her blood. Twilight's body seared in immeasurable torture. She wanted it to end, and she only heard one voice before she was released.

Twilight...

The pain that wrecked her body instantly left, and the image of Pinkie Pie left. She felt dakness come for her as she felt herself fall onto something, and whispered in response to the voice she would never forget before she blacked out.

Celestia...

Pinkie and the others watched as Twilight's body fell back to the bed and the sparks of electricity and her golden burning eyes had instantly left her. Pinkie quickly got up and ran to her bed, and saw Twilight now sleeping as tears ran down her lavender cheeks. Pinkie was wrecked inside. She didn't know what just happened but something in her gut told her that it had something to do with the necklace. She felt some hoof pulling her away. She turned and saw Doctor Scope getting her away from her marefriend.

"I'm sorry but we need you to leave immediatly. We have to make sure she's okay, and I can't have you in here while we do this."

Pinkie tried to break from his grip as she protested.

"No wait! I have to stay here with her! She needs me! Please, just let me stay! I won't bother anypony!"

He kept draggin her until they were at the door and he led her out into a light blue hallway.

"I'm sorry, but we need to make sure she's okay. We don't know what just happened and I'm going to do my best to find out what it was. She will be fine, I promise."

Pinkie broke his grip on her and walked away from him as she bawled her eyes out. She had done this to Twilight. They were bot having such a good time and even laughing together. How did everything change from go to terrible so quickly? It was her special talent to throw parties and she always made ponies happy, but she now she only saw the pain she had believed she caused to her Twilight.

"I have to go Miss, but I promise that were going to make sure she's alright," he said as he turned and walked back into the room and locked the door behind him.

Pinkie now stood in the hall by herself. There were doors on both sides of the hall with numbers on them, and she knew that these were other patients, but she didn't care. She began to run down the marble floor of the hall as she felt the damned necklace pound against her chest. She turned and saw the mare's restroom and hastily entered. She stood up on her hind legs as she hung her head over a sink and cried. Her tears ran right into the sink, and all she could think about was how much pain she had caused Twilight. She only wanted to make her happy, and instead, made her scream. She looked into the mirror that faced her as it reflected her broken image. She saw her puffy red eyes from all the crying she had done, and she felt disgusted with herself. The necklace that hung around her neck stood out and she hated it. She believed that the accursed necklace was the harbinger of Twilight's pain. She wanted to throw it and break it, but she couldn't. They needed it for their friends, and she promised Twilight she would hold onto it for her, and their friends. As much as she now hated it, she knew that they also needed it.

Pinkie had no idea how wrong she was about her misplaced guilt, but she would learn...

She looked at herself in the mirror as she now begun to hate herself for what she did and spoke to her reflection.

"You're just full of surprises today Pinkie Pie..."

It was part of her special talent anyways...

(A/N. Almost there. Two chapters left guys! I can't believe I had made it even this far with the story. I honestly thought that nobody would really read this, but it turned out better than I had hoped. All of you are an encouragement to me and I take the time now to thank all of you. Your what drives me to continue writing and try my best to give you all the best I can give. Enough of this sappy shit. On a side note, I am going through along with an editor through past chapters and fixing them and cleaning up most grammar and spelling mistakes, and also some formatting, so if you have noticed that, for example, the red text that signified Twilight's inner voice disappearing, it's because we are going through and changing that and making it consistent. Until the next part, cheers my fellow bronies.)
