Author's Notes:

Some hopefully uplifting happy fluff here and some early foreshadowing there! Hope you enjoy it!

Twilight Sparkle continued to sit and mope next to Sunset as she laid in her bed, still unconscious. The only sound to be heard was the heart rate monitor which continued to beep. The ominous pulse of a heart monitor reminded her how delicate the threads of life are.

Around the corner was Lemon Zest who entered into the room.

"Twilight? Dude, are you alright?"

Twilight didn't reply.

"I brought you some dinner."

"I'm not hungry...", Twilight whimpered.

Lemon pulled up a chair and she sat next to Twilight. She patted her shoulder.

"I'm sure Sunset appreciates having you here." Lemon said with a warm smile.

"I... I hope so," Twilight said.

She slided her hand onto the bed and held Sunset's hand in her palm. She shivered when she felt her cold skin in her palm.

"H-How... how is everyone else doing?"

"Everyone seems to be alright. Right now, the entire place is put into camouflage mode so we can hide from the Cons."

"T-That's... that's good."

Twilight still didn't move from her current position. She didn't feel hungry, nor did she feel anything outside of fear. Her best friend... the one who saved her at the Friendship Games from tearing the fabrics of their world apart, was now lying on a deathbed. She knew she wasn't dead, but from her current state, and just from how limp her body was, along with the amount of bandages and machines she was hooked up to, her life wasn't looking very strong.

"Sunset... If there's even some ounce of life still left in you... I hope you're okay. You're all I care about now, and so does everyone else. Our top priority is to keep you safe. And if there's any amount of life left in you, I'm going to keep you safe at all costs. As an ally, as a friend... as family. I promise I'll keep you safe," Twilight sniffled.

Lemon smiled at Twilight's words.

"I'm sure Sunset knows you'll keep her safe," she said kindly to the bespectacled girl.

"I know...", Twilight whimpered.

"Hey Twilight?" a voice interrupted.

Twilight looked to the side to see the pink haired girl standing in the frame of the sliding door.

"Pinkie Pie made some cake for all of us. Do you want some?"

Twilight slumped her head on the side of the bed, "I'm not sure I'm hungry."

"Twilight, please? You haven't eaten anything since you've got here. You need to eat something, please?"

Twilight wanted to argue with Fluttershy, but she couldn't find it in herself to do so. How could she say no to those sparkling eyes?

The purple-skinned girl sighed, "Alright..."

"Its probably for the best Twilight. Lets let Sunset get some sleep." Lemon said, standing up.

"Okay..."

Twilight stood up on her feet and she slowly walked to the door, despite not wanting to leave the room. But it was probably for the best. She hadn't gone anywhere else nor eaten anything in quite a while. Perhaps it would be good of her to get some much needed food, and possibly do something that would be a bit more productive of her time.

She gave a glance one last time before a tear dropped down her cheek.

"I hope you'll wake up soon Sunset... right now the team needs you. And...", Twilight sniffled, "So do I..."

Late that night, the full moon rose in the sky with many stars twinkling in the moon light. And everything in the base was silent. Mostly. All of the Canterlot High and Crystal Prep students were asleep in individual mattresses and beds that were set up for them.

The only ones awake were the remaining Autobots and Guardian Gobots who were trying their best not to wake up any of the sleeping humans. Luckily for them, during many missions on Earth, Sunset and the girls had sleepovers over at their base, and over time the Bots learned not to make loud noises to wake them up.

In the lounge room where everyone was sleeping, it was all silent. Not a sound to be heard, not a movement to be seen. It was all quiet. Occasionally there was a stir of someone tossing and turning in their sleep. And maybe even a few snores. But aside from those, there wasn't a lot of noise.

All of Sunset's friends except for Twilight were all asleep in their pajamas all in beds there were very close to one another, all with blankets that corresponded to their interests and likes. They were comfy and cozy in their beds, all happily sleeping peacefully, some of which had a few stuffed animals with them for them to snuggle with. And across from them were the Crystal Prep girls who were in their own beds. But unlike Twilight and their friends, not all of them slept comfortably like they did.

Sugarcoat slept like a vampire, keeping her body all together, not spread out along the bed, and kept her head facing up towards the ceiling. Sunny Flare slept like a baby, as she just laid sprawled along her bed with a teddy bear hugged in her arms.

Indigo Zap on the other hand kept tossing and turning in her bed. She just couldn't find the comfortable position to sleep in. And it didn't help that whenever she spread her legs, she kept feeling someone's foot hanging off on either side of the bed. And with Lemon Zest, she slept like a spider. Her entire body spread along the bed, leaving her legs and arms sticking out from under the covers of the blanket.

Sour Sweet however couldn't find it in herself to sleep. But it wasn't because of the snoring, although it did annoy her to some degree. But mainly because she was looking back on everything that had happened in that entire day. People were going missing, friends were killed, and now she and the rest of the girls were now assigned with one large mission to carry out by themselves with only a few Autobots remaining. And it was just the few of them left to handle an entire army. How could they handle all of this?

But it wasn't just that on her mind. There was one other thing on her mind, in the form of a green diamond ring. She had been dating Smallfoot for over a year and a half now, and they had been getting along quite well, and they've been getting very closer to one another every day. Their families liked each other, they overcame every obstacle in their path, but she just couldn't decide how she was going to bring this up. Was she thinking too far ahead? Is Smallfoot not ready to tie the knot? What was she going to do?

Twilight Sparkle however wasn't worried about those things. She knew how bad their situation was now, but the only thing she could think about, the only thing she was scared about, was for Sunset Shimmer. She had never seen Sunset in a state so bad before. She was holding onto whatever life she had left in those machines, and there was nothing they could do to help her.

Unable to get any more sleep, she slowly eased her way out of the bed. She slided her feet into bunny slippers and carefully tip-toed away from the beds, trying not to make a squeak, a creek, or a groan into the floor. She carefully walked to the door and tapped the button which slided the door open in a flash, creating a WHOOSH sound. Luckily for her, none of the students or the two principals were awake by the startling noise or the bright light entering their room. She walked out of the room, hoping she was by herself. But little did she know she was spotted by a pair of purple eyes.

She walked into the brightly orange large hallway where she could see a few Autobots passing by who were too focused on their own tasks at hand.

Twilight slowly walked past them and moved forward, on her way over to the infirmary room where Sunset continued to rest. She couldn't rest knowing that Sunset wouldn't be okay. She had to find out if she's alright.

"You know--"

Twilight let out a squeak as she heard the voice talk to her.

"Its not healthy to keep checking on her every second. The stress is just going to keep on eating you from the inside."

Twilight slowly turned around and saw the cherry hair-colored girl standing with her hands on her hips. Sour Sweet was standing without any slippers, pink shorts and a white tank top.

"Oh, Sour Sweet. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," Twilight stammered.

"You didn't wake me. Thank Indigo Zap and Neon Lights' snoring for that," Sour grumbled, "Anyways, why are you still up? Its 3:00 in the morning."

Twilight sighed, "You know I want to make sure Sunset's okay--"

"No. Twilight, you need to stop going into her room every second. Its not healthy for you."

"But--"

"Dah-bu-bah! No butts. Look, the Dinobots promised they were guarding her for the entire night, so I strongly suggest you do something that isn't going eat your insides."

"No, I need to see her," Twilight said turning away. But before she could walk forward, Sour grabbed Twilight's wrist, gripping her tightly to keep her from leaving.

"Twilight Sparkle, you will listen right now!"

"No! Sunset needs me! I already lost one friend, I can't lose another!"

Sour pulled Twilight around and held her shoulders to keep her from leaving and looked her dead in the eyes.

"I know you care for Sunset deeply, and so do I. I don't like the state she's in just as much as you do. But this isn't healthy for you. I know you don't like this, but its for your own good. Would you want any of us to go through the same kind of distress every day? You need to let us help you, you aren't letting us help you!"

Twilight struggled against Sour's grip but she couldn't get free. Sour had a tight handle on her.

"Twilight. Just let us help you, please. We want to help you. But the first thing you need to do is to stop using every second to check on her."

Silence. Nothing was said. And the only movements were Twilight trying to get free from Sour's grip, but she was less resistant than before. Sour could only stand there and loosen her grip, as she let everything she said sink into Twilight's brain.

She braced herself for another incoming struggle to go and run into the infirmary, but Twilight didn't run. Surely but slowly, she was starting to feel like butter in Sour's arms. Twilight turned her head away and water filled her eyes. Sour could hear Twilight sniffling and whimpering. Her face turned from serious into worrisome.

"Twilight? Are you okay?"

"N-No...", Twilight whimpered before wrapping her arms around Sour and soaking her shoulder with tears.

"Hey, hey, shhh...", Sour said softly, wrapping her arms around Twilight and holding her in a hug.

"I'm... I'm sorry... I just want her to be okay..."

"Its alright, shhh..." Sour whispered, brushing her hair.

Twilight held Sour for a few more minutes, letting all of her tears out. Once her tears were finally dying down, she tightened her embrace.

"I'm so sorry... I just... I... I just want her to be okay."

"I know..." Sour replied as she rubbed her back.

Twilight pulled out of Sour's embrace and she rubbed her eyes, wiping away the tears streaming down her face.

"You feel any better?"

Twilight could only nod.

Sour just wiped another tear from her face.

"So... how about we get back to sleep?"

"I'm not sure if I can go back to sleep," Twilight whimpered.

Sour scratched her chin for a brief moment.

"You want to talk?"

Twilight nodded, eliciting a smile from Sour.

"Okay, come with me. I know some place where we can talk in peace. Maybe we should--"

"-WILL YOU SHUT UP!? WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

Both girls flinched when they heard that angry yell. And it was from someone they didn't expect it to come from. Turning around, they saw a girl standing with frizzled white hair and sleepy eyes.

"Sugarcoat?"

Sugarcoat yawned, "I heard you guys outside. What's with all of the yelling?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all. Just had a little talk, that's it," Sour replied.

"A talk that involved screaming at each other?"

Sugarcoat rubbed her eyes, but stopped when another voice interrupted in the form of pink skin and green hair.

"Agh, dudes...", Lemon groaned. She came out of the room with a little pink unicorn in her arms with green hair and a headset.

"Its three in the morning and I'm trying to sleep here!"

Two more girls made themselves present, leaving the sleeping room as well both were Sunny Flare and Indigo Zap. Indigo Zap was in shorts with a sporty T-shirt, and Sunny Flare entered in long pants and a night shirt.

"Girls, please... its too early in the morning for another rambling rant about some movie that you despise...", Sunny yawned, "Can we just go back to bed?"

"Close the door or SHUT UP!", a voice yelled from the sleeping room they emerged from.

"I cannot sleep at this hour with all of this noise!" a British voice screeched.

"Oh shut up Octavia!"

Indigo sneered and she slammed her hand against the button which closed the door, allowing them to get some sleep. She rubbed at her eyes and smacked her lips.

"Girls... what's going on?"

Sour sighed, "Its nothing girls. Just go back to sleep."

"At this rate, none of us are sleeping the rest of the night. The minute you wake us up, we never go back to bed," Sugarcoat replied.

Sunny yawned, "Would anyone like me to make some coffee?"

"Yes please!"

"Yep."

"Highly appreciated."

"Uh... okay."

"But, wait, how exactly can we make coffee? The kitchen is in that lounge, and the entire place is being used for sleeping right now. If we even make one sound, someone's going to be mad."

"Or throw their underwear at you," Sugarcoat replied.

"Or break some glass," Lemon shuddered.

"Or they throw you off your own bed and toss your mattress out the window just because you made out with someone on it," Sour chuckled.

The girls all stared at Sour awkwardly.

"It-It happened to a cousin of mine...", Sour blushed.

Sunny looked at them with sleepy eyes and a yawn, "T-Twilight told me there's... another kitchen in this base for us to use. Come on..."

Later...

Twilight and the Crystal Prep girls were somewhere else in the base, in another room made just for them. But this room was just like a kitchen in a restaurant. White tiles were everywhere, there were many stoves and and island counter-tops with marble tops on them. And all of the girls were sitting at one of the counter tops, in the middle of the room.

Sour yawned as she sat at the table, "Sorry we woke you girls up."

Sugarcoat rubbed her eyes, "Its fine Sour... we just...", she yawned in between, "we just wanted to know what the screaming was about."

"And you never told us what it was about anyway...", Indigo said.

"Oh, well, I wanted to see Sunset again but... Sour raised some good points and told me how it wasn't healthy to constantly check on her 24/7," Twilight said.

"Emotional sickness. Yep, I've been there before," Sugarcoat replied.

"You have?" Twilight asked.

Sugarcoat nodded, "One time, my uncle was hit by a car. Kept visiting him every day, which worried my mom and dad to no end."

Twilight nodded, "I see."

Sunny Flare came round to the counter-top table with a tray that had coffee cups on them, all ready to be filled with the caffeinated deliciousness.

"Alright girls, here's the fresh coffee," Sunny replied, setting down the coffee pot.

Lemon Zest then came round the table and she set down another pot.

"And here's some hot chocolate too if any of you girls want some. I don't know about you, but I am desperate for some right now," Lemon replied, smacking her lips.

Twilight accepted a cup of hot chocolate and took a sip of it.

"Thanks Lemon."

Lemon grinned and winked.

"Anyways... I'm really sorry for--"

"Twilight. Quit beating yourself up about it. You're fine. I think its sweet that you care about Sunset that much," Sugarcoat stated.

Twilight didn't say anything else and she blew on her hot chocolate to cool it down some more.

"Am I the only one who thinks we're in over our heads right now? We just lost more of our friends and there isn't much of us left," Sunny replied.

"You're not giving up are you?" Indigo asked.

Sunny sipped her coffee.

"No, I'm not. I'm merely stating that the odds are kind of against us right now," Sunny said.

"The odds have always been against us in the past, but we've always pushed through, even when we're on our lowest we still managed to break on through," Twilight replied.

"Really? How?" Sunny asked.

"Well, I think its across on a certain line of motivation and determination. Plus a good amount of a courage to go with it."

"Yeah, but, what about all of those people you lose? Surely that must hit you all hard," Sour said.

"It does, but we always make it through. It still hurts to talk about it though...", Twilight replied.

The girls all nodded.

"I know how that feels," Sour said. "But speaking of which, what did they ever do with everyone who died?"

Twilight took another sip of her drink and she looked at all of the girls.

"I know what they did with them. But I'm not sure visiting their tomb would be a nice thing to do... mostly because I really don't want to bring back any bad memories or reminders of what had just happened today. Or a few days ago... or thousands of years ago before they ever came down to Earth to begin with."

"Aw, come on, can't we see where they are? Think of this as a history lesson! You always did want to teach us a little more about some of their past friends," Indigo begged.

"I don't know..."

"Come on, please?" Indigo asked with puppy-dog eyes.

Twilight wasn't affected in the slightest, and she just glared at Indigo who kept staring at her with that bug-eyed expression.

"That doesn't work on me. I've grown immune to Spike giving me that same look. But... I suppose I can show you all where they're buried," Twilight sighed, feeling defeat.

"YES!" Indigo's fist pumped.

"You shouldn't be too excited about visiting a tomb filled with corpses," Sugarcoat bluntly stated, "That's kind of gross and highly questionable."

"Come on, aren't you excited to learn a little more about their past history?", Indigo grinned.

"Yes, but its not anything to be that excited about."

After many cups of coffee and hot chocolate... along with a few runs to the bathroom, the girls all met up with Twilight over at a large door.

"Okay guys, this is it. The only burial ground for the Autobots who have perished here on Earth," Twilight somberly said.

The doors opened up, and the girls entered inside. But they couldn't help but gasp at what they were seeing. There were large orange burial tombs in display alongside near the walls. Not only were they against the walls, but there were nameplates that read who was buried, along with a panel which displayed images and information. This was almost like a museum for their deceased.

"Legend has it there is a final resting place far out in the corners of space which is the final resting place for the Autobots who died during the war. But because Optimus Prime's team is stranded here on Earth, they made this room into the final resting place for them."

"Whoa, dude...", Lemon gasped.

"This is the saddest thing I've ever seen," Sunny whimpered.

Twilight just nodded in agreement and gulped.

"All of these Autobots died for what they believed in. They gave it their all in the war, and now, they all lay here in peace, resting in the afterlife," Twilight explained.

Indigo Zap looked to her right and read off a few names on some of the nameplates as she wandered past them.

"Chase... Freeway... Wideload... Searchlight... Rollbar... Wait. Who's this one? I never saw this guy."

"Who?" Twilight asked.

"Who's... Windcharger?"

Twilight walked to the tomb and looked at the nameplate. Then she swiped her finger on a panel, and a hologram moving in a 360 degree motion projected, displaying the entire body of the deceased warrior.

"Windcharger was a Mini-Bot during the war. He joined Optimus and his team here on the Ark when they were looking for energy resources. He died in the first few days that Sunset and I met them."

"Decepticon attack?" Indigo asked.

Twilight nodded, "The same thing goes for a bunch of these guys."

"What about this one?" Sunny asked, standing at another tomb.

"This is Gears. Oh, I remember him. He always had a bad attitude. But he did always want to help Bots in a bad situation. I do wish I could have helped his depression issues," Twilight said.

"Well, at least he's in another place where depression issues hopefully can't get him," Sunny replied.

"Yeah... oh wait, I know this one!"

Twilight quickly jogged over to another tomb and flipped on another hologram displaying the body of the deceased warrior.

"This is Huffer. He didn't really have a positive attitude. He was always cranky, grumpy, and he didn't really like us when we first met. And as you can clearly see, he is forged from the same mold as Pipes," Twilight said, gesturing to the entire body.

"The only difference I see is the color, Pipes is probably taller, and from you've told us right now, Pipes is much more friendly to us than Huffer," Sugarcoat said, observing the images of Huffer on the panel.

"True," Twilight nodded. She looked to the tomb beside him and brought up a holoscreen. "Well, here's Brawn's tomb."

"Hey Twilight! Who's this big guy?" Lemon asked.

Lemon was standing in front of a tomb which housed an Autobot bigger than a majority of the ones they looked at. This one in the pictures that Lemon kept swiping past was colored red and had the same body type as their friend Grapple. But this one looked like he had a firehose attached to his body, and a ladder hanging on his back. The nameplate on the tomb read Inferno.

"Oh, Inferno... Red Alert told me stories about him. Inferno used to work in search and rescue department on Cybertron before he ever became one of the Autobots. And believe it or not--"

"Those two fell in love and started dating and Red Alert was heartbroken when you gave her the news that her one true love is dead and deceased," Sour interrupted. "You told us this story dozens of times."

"Oh... sorry."

"But what about this one?"

Twilight walked over to another tomb and read off the nameplate.

"Skids. I don't even know if there's anything I can really say about him. I barely knew him. I... does... does that make me horrible?"

"It doesn't," Sugarcoat said.

"Oh, okay. I mean... I don't know him that much but... I felt terrible when he died with many of the others."

"Its understandable Twilight," Sunny replied, patting her shoulder.

"Uh, Twilight? Who's this guy and why does his face look pretty dang close to Sideswipe?" Lemon asked.

Twilight and the rest of the girls gathered around another tomb, and they looked at a bunch of pictures down on a panel of a yellow Autobot who had a similar face to Sideswipe, but his helmet was shaped differently.

"Oh... Sunstreaker. Sideswipe's twin brother. We met him last year on Halloween... as a zombie."

"Yikes," Indigo hissed, "that's a freaky image."

"I can't even image how Sideswipe felt when he lost him," Sunny said.

"I do," Sour replied.

"Me too," Twilight followed.

"I lost my mom when I was really young," Sour said, "which meant it was just me and my dad."

"Well, I had to spend most of my years in middle school and high school without Mom or Dad because of a drunk driver," Twilight said.

"Oooh... ouch," Lemon said, "I'm sorry to hear that Twi."

"Its fine. You didn't know."

The girls said nothing for a few more minutes as they stared at the grave. And they looked around at the other graves that were nearby. Oh how they wish they weren't gone. If only they could meet some of these past warriors...

"I wish we could have met them," Indigo sighed.

"And I wish I could have gotten to know them more," Twilight stated.

Sunny nodded in agreement, until she dropped dead in her tracks. She thought long and hard until something just occured to her. The Allspark fragments. They were shown to have brought back those from the dead, breathing new life into them. Surely they must still have some around right?

"Wait... Twilight didn't you say you and the girls brought in the remains of the Allspark into the base?"

"Well, yes, but--"

"Then why don't you use the remains of the Allspark? Surely you must--"

"Its not that simple! We barely have any left, and the only ones left are being used to keep this entire shelter up and running. If we remove any fragments now, it's going to be much worse for the conditions of this base. We need those fragments where they are right now," Twilight explained.

Sunny drooped her finger, "Oh... sorry."

"Its okay. Not a bad idea, but, we're short on supplies."

Awkward silence.

"So... what do you girls want to do now? Its only...", Lemon checked her watch, "3:45 right now."

"Well we all drank a good dose of coffee and hot chocolate, I doubt we'll be going back to sleep anytime soon," Sour said.

"You uh... want to go see how the Bots are doing?"

The girls all exchanged looks, and came to an agreeing cluster of nods and 'yes's.

"Sure, why not? Maybe we can give them some help," Twilight said with a smile.

"More hands make less work," Indigo grinned.

Over in the infirmary room, Sunset still laid limp and unconscious on the hospital bed, dressed in a hospital nightgown. And right next to her was the Matrix of Leadership which laid close to her hand.

Her entire body remained immobile, and it didn't move a muscle. Until a twitch. Her fingers started to twitch. And so did her legs. They began to twitch on their own. And her head slowly began to move as well. But she wasn't waking up. For she was in her own mind...

Sunset found herself in the void once again, surrounded by darkness and stars. But she felt a strange feeling like she wasn't on the ground. She felt... weightless. In fact, she looked down, and she realized she wasn't touching any sort of ground. She wasn't touching anything.

"Oh no... where am I!?"

Sunset looked up and she felt her body shiver at the giant green eyes which glared down on her.

"Unicron...", Sunset gasped.

"You and your friends... will all be doomed..."

Sunset was terrified to stare into the eyes of the enemy she didn't want to face. Not only was he right in front of her, but there was also the loud noise of explosions, screams of terror, and fire burning all around her. And the noises continued to grow louder and louder as they surrounded her.

"No, please..."

"Equestria will perish... and there will be nothing that you can do!"

"NO!!!!"

Sunset felt her head rattling and pounding against itself. She felt her knees drop and tears were down her face. This couldn't be happening... it just couldn't...

But wait. All of the noises around her.It stopped. All of the noises died down and there was only silence. She slowly looked up, and she found herself on her knees, on what seemed to be some form of solid ground. She looked up, and the eyes of Unicron had vanished. Now, a new figure was standing before her, around her size. The same face she befriended and fought alongside with for a long time now.

"Optimus..."

"Sunset, I'm glad that you are safe. And I am glad that you are in possession of the Matrix of Leadership," Optimus said.

Sunset got up on her feet and smiled. She was happy to see that familiar face once again. Optimus slowly moved his finger and wiped a tear from her face.

"But... where are you? Are you... do you... We can--"

"I am perfectly alright Sunset. It is you who I'm worried about," Optimus asked.

"But... the Decepticons, they probably have you now! Wait... do they?"

Optimus could only nod, "Yes, I am now a prisoner among them. But I assure you I am okay. My only concern is for your safety. The Decepticons are searching for you now. And you must do what you can to stay safe. Protect yourself, and protect the Matrix at all costs. Do not allow them to get either one of you... you are my only hope."

Sunset couldn't believe what she was hearing. Optimus was counting on... her. She never thought she'd feel that way. In every other mission or task that involved working with Optimus, she had counted on him. She never thought Optimus would be depending on her. And she was his hope. The only thing Optimus had left to a second-in-command to keep the fight going. The only thing that could possibly restore balance to this fight. Well, if he counted on her to keep herself and the Matrix safe, then so be it!

Sunset could only give one expression to Optimus Prime. But this one wasn't worried or scared. A boost of courage, determination, and motivation all blended into one serious and happy expression giving Optimus a friendly smile.

"I will do everything in my power to keep the Matrix of Leadership safe. I promise."

Optimus smiled, "And I trust your friends and my Autobots will keep you safe as well. But there's one thing you must do first. You must wake up from this dream. Wake up... Wake up... Wake up...

Sunset jolted up in her bed, gasping and breathing heavily. She was free from her eternal slumber.

"W-Wha...", Sunset said, rubbing her eyes, "Where... where am I?"

Back outside, the six girls were walking together and they were very near the infirmary.

"Why did you tell me that!? I didn't want to know that!" Twilight cringed.

"Sour brought it up!" Lemon said.

"I didn't bring it up, Lemon!"

"That's also information that never needed to be said. No one has a need to know that type of information," Sunny shuddered.

"Hey, you brought it up!"

"No one brought it up Lemon!" Sour asked.

"Can we just drop this conversation and move on! I don't need to be thinking about this for the rest of the night!", Indigo exclaimed.

"Okay, okay, sheesh...", Lemon said.

"... We're not going to tell the Bots what we were talking about were we?"

"No, I think that information isn't of need-to-know. And right now, none of this is of need-to-know."

Lemon rolled her eyes while Sour groaned, "Could this night get any stranger?"

"I think you mean morning," Sugarcoat quipped.

"Whatever ungodly hour we're up at!"

Just then, all six of them stopped dead in their tracks when they heard the large mass of howling and roaring of dinosaurs behind them. No doubt it was coming from the Dinobots.

Sour growled and clenched her fists, "That's it! Those dinosaurs are going back into the age of extinction!"

"Sour, they're probably just excited," Lemon pleaded.

Sour just paused and sighed, "... Well they better have a good reason for being this loud."

Just then, rushing out of the room were two of the Dinobots, Swoop and Snarl.

"Guys, why are you freaking out?" Twilight asked.

"Us Dinobots excited! We all will survive!" Snarl yelled excitedly.

"Why? Why are you saying that?"

Swoop flapped his wings until he transformed back into his robotic state and took a knee down to face them.

"Me Swoop see leader Sunset Shimmer's awake! She's alive!"

"Well yeah she's alive, she's... SHE'S AWAKE!?" Twilight gasped.

"Leader Sunset's awake!" Swoop cheered.

Twilight didn't hesitate for a second and she bolted into the infirmary room where the rest of the Dinobots were surrounding Sunset all giving smiles and warm faces. And in an instant, Twilight gave Sunset a big hug.

"T-Twilight...?"

"Sunset!", Twilight cried in joy. "Y-You're okay..."

Twilight wrapped her arms tightly around Sunset, not wanting to let her go. And it wasn't before long that Sunset slowly moved her hands near Twilight's back.

"W-Where... where am I?"

"You're here in the base. Its okay... we're all here," Twilight said as she wiped another tear away.

"W-Why are you crying?"

Twilight sniffled, "I'm just happy you're okay..."

Twilight held her in another hug and her tears soaked her shoulder. Sunset didn't fight back, but instead she smiled and she accepted the hug from Twilight. Her warm embrace felt relaxing, and Twilight felt the weight of the world lifting from off her shoulders.

The Crystal Prep girls just stood smiling, and watched as Twilight reunited with her friend. It felt great to her back from the brink of a coma, and was now back into the land of the living.
