Chapter 48 - Moving On . . . TOO Fast

Bright and Babs stayed together in that hospital room with hooves wrapped around Magenta while she cried into their coats. She never knew she could get this emotional, let alone in a hospital. It was alien to her. Even after she got her first radio demos revoked, she was sad. But not upset. But after remembering her past... It was slightly traumatic.

Bright kissed Magenta's left cheek and whispered, "I know what'll cheer you up. Let's make this vlog. Right here, right now. Let's let the nation know that you're okay because my phone is blowing up."

Magenta finally registered reality and made out the faint buzzing back by the window. In that chair Bright was sitting in before. She halfheartedly laughed her tears away and whispered, "Yeah, okay."

Babs copied Bright and kissed Magenta's right cheek. Then whispered, "Are you okay?"

Magenta wiped her eyes and trained her purple orbs into Babs' green eyes. She found a warmth in them. A warmth she wrapped her body in. Magenta nodded and answered, "Yeah . . . Yeah, I'll be fine."

Babs grabbed Magenta's hoof and said, "I'll always be here for you."

Magenta smiled and nuzzled Babs' head. "I know, Babby." Then focused on Bright setting up her phone for recording. "So how are we going to do this vlog, Ms. Director?"

"Well first?" Bright lowered her phone and pointed to the hospital bed. "I need you to be in the bed and be dead for a quick second. Babs, you wanna help out?"

Babs eagerly nodded. This was actually a little exciting. She's seen Magenta's vlog so many times, but has never actually seen how they were made. They don't have a behind the scenes, so it was impossible to see it. "What do I need to do?"

"I need you to cry hysterically."

"Too easy."


Apple Bloom didn't even bother going home. She and Sweetie Belle went to Sugarcube Corner and met up with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They both were still living with their parents, and Sweetie Belle was sure they wouldn't be living on their own for a while.

When they got there, Diamond and Silver knew immediately that something was wrong. For one, Sweetie was crying. It actually took a lot to make her cry. Then Apple Bloom was too. Diamond Tiara immediately raised her hoof to the pink party pony behind the counter and called, "Pinkie! Two strawberry chocolate sundaes, stat!"

After Pinkie saluted and zipped to work, Silver Spoon focused on the two ponies crying in front of them. "What. Happened?" She whispered.

Apple Bloom looked up with red eyes and replied in a despondent tone, "...she remembers."

Ohhh. Diamond and Silver shared a look before Sweetie attempted at her signs. But just gave up and dropped her head on the table. Apple Bloom whispered for her, "She rebuked us, I guess. L-Like... She said she never wants to see us again. And I'm sure when she gets out she'll never come back here."

Diamond Tiara sighed and continued stirring her cup of fizzy beverage she and Silver Spoon decided to order instead of ice cream. Her sodden reflection popped and fizzled back up to her. "Well... At least she's okay, right?"

Sweetie nodded and made a sign they deciphered as "Definitely."

Apple Bloom huffed and decided to lighten the mood by asking, "Just because we're not friends doesn't mean we're not fans right? She still makes great music." Apple Bloom pulled out her phone and tapped around a bit with a clearly forced smile on her face. Diamond Tiara could clearly see she was just trying to cheer up Sweetie Belle. And based off of Silver Spoon's glance, she knew it too.

"Oh, looks like she just posted a vlog." She opened up the video and after a few seconds immediately summarized it wasn't good. First off they heard a whole bunch of screaming in the background around Bright, who seemed to be the center of attention. They were still in the hospital room. She was holding a phone clearly.

Bright smiled to the camera and yelled over it, "Hey, everypony! So quick update. Based off of our social media everyone already knows about Magenta's sudden hospitalization. But don't worry..." Bright turned herself so Magenta was in the background in bed. She was in a hilarious position that actually made Sweetie smile.

She was lying on top of the covers with crossed eyes trained on a random object, and had her tongue sticking partly out of her mouth. Babs was shaking her trying to get Magenta to "wake up". But it was really helping. Those tears leaking from her eyes and the screaming was seriously selling the story though. Bright pointed to Magenta and declared, "We're fine!! See? Say hi, Maggy!"

She zoomed the camera in on Magenta for a response. But all she got in response was Babs poking her face in yelling, "What are you doing, we have to help her!! Maggy, wake up!!"

Bright laughed and replied, "Oh you silly Babs Seed. She's fine. Hey, Maggy. Remember that thing you have under—"

Magenta sat straight up and spread her hooves out. "I'm awake! I'm good, see? See, you don't have to say that! Hey, everypony!" Magenta waved to the camera with a smile while Babs jumped on the bed. "We have some great and exciting news for you that we were supposed to share this afternoon in my studio, but..."

Babs butted in and stroked Magenta's mane. "She just had to pass out in the street... Again."

Magenta stifled down her laughter and sarcastically admitted, "Yep, I just love sleeping on dirt, guys. One of these days you're going to see me relaxing in the Dragon Lands because... I love hard, hot rocks. But we do have some exciting news for you and we'll tell you soon after I recover. Just some brain issues guys, don't worry. But we also have some bad news. There won't be any shows for around two months. We'll still be pushing content, but no shows yet. We'll tell you why next week."

"Until then..." Babs grabbed a pillow and slammed it into Magenta's chest. "Don't do that to me again! Ever!" Magenta laughed and pulled Babs on top of her to mash their lips together. And that was the end of that show when Bright made a gagging expression to the camera and cut the feed to their brand logo.

Sweetie seemed to cheer up at their display of affection and clear happiness. But dropped her head again and made signs reading, "Is this the only way we'll get to see her again?"

Apple Bloom honestly didn't have an answer. So she just pulled in her lips and indulged in the ice cream Pinkie dropped in front of them. They would cover that road when they got to it.


When Magenta's parents showed up, it went from fifty to one hundred really fast. As in they stormed into the hospital and practically burst through Magenta's door. Well Kind Goldhoof did. Max was more reserved. When it banged open, Magenta nearly jumped out of bed and into the air. Kind trotted right up to Magenta's bedside and ranted, "What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurting anywhere, where in bucking Tartarus is the doctor?!!"

Bright hopped up from her chair across from Magenta's bed and ordered, "Calm down, mom. Magenta just had a brain overload because she got her memories back."

"Mem—" Kind zoomed in on Magenta's eyes and whispered, "You remember?"

Magenta slowly nodded and used her hoof to kindly push her back. "Yeah, I uh . . . Really wanna get out of here. At first I liked it here, you know? It's silent, peaceful, not at all in a rush. But . . . This place holds bad memories for me. Specifically me falling into a river that pushed me through razor sharp blades."

Kind knew that Magenta would get her memories back sometime soon. She knew it when Bright was telling her Magenta was getting bad headaches whenever she came over to this town. Ever since that darned show here. Kind sat down and gently pulled Magenta into a loving hug. "You know I will always be here for you and Bright right?"

". . . Where were you when I passed out?"

"Your father and I were in a sudden crisis at the children's hospital. I'm not allowed to say, but everything is stabilized."

Magenta nodded into her mother's coat and coalesced. Working at a hospital had to be tough. Not running a brand tough but still was hard work. Max Goldhoof trotted into Magenta's line of sight wearing a doctor's coat and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

Magenta unwrapped herself from her mother's tight hold and sat back into her bed. She had a bunch of ideas on mind. But right now . . . "I'm going to work," she answered. She took a deep breath and crossed her hooves before releasing it in a single huff. "Bright and I have to come up with more content and start talking to these ponies we think have major potential. I already have a few record shops at my beck and call, and a few ponies who owe me favors. Not to mention a potential partnership with YouHoof. So tomorrow, I'm going to be busy."

Bright nodded and started typing up on her phone. "So Summer Wind—the mare I told you about from school—she's preparing a demo for us. And a few other ponies are more than likely getting some demos ready too. I checked our email and our little group asked if we needed anything."

Magenta nodded to her and said, "We need some content to promote. Nothing is set in stone yet, but a few image manipulations for a teaser, audio snippets, and high social media presence of events. We'll start it off when we tell YouHoof we're leaving Starfire. Until then, we just need a few images and top content."
