Thursday, 8:00 AM
I just woken up, and I don't even know how long I've been out. I still feel those hits I took from Black Fire, and it's good to know the world's a better place without him. I tried sitting upright, but that hurts more than you think right now. I looked around the room I was in, to my left Helena was still unconscious, but alive. I looked over the charts on the nearby table, my condition is still pretty bad. My hand still had a hole in it, my shoulder still had a hole in it, and there were lacerations all over the place. Nothing 22nd technology can't fix within a few days, I'll be able to get my left hand back.
"Ahh, you're awake. You've been out for two days, I thought you would've been out for longer." The Doctor is in the building everyone.
"Good to see you too Doctor." I chuckled.
"Okay, if you can walk, we'll take you to the regenerator room to fix your hand." I tried getting up, but it hurt like fuck. At least I was able to get on my feet again, I looked over to Helena and she just woke up. I walked steadily and slowly to the regenerator room, but once I walked inside, my hand started too grow back.
"At least I won't end up like a Changeling." The doctor started laughing, I looked at my hand and it was good as new. I flexed it, and I was really giddy right now.
"Okay, now sit in here for a few hours, and you should be discharged by the end of the day. I'll bring your girlfriend in here once she gets on her feet." I started blushing and looking back and forth.
"She's not my girlfriend! I'm married remember?"
"Oh yeah, I remember now." I waited inside of this room, it was all white. There was a little fridge to my right, full of juice drinks and shit. Waiting for my wounds to heal in this room is boring, because it's a very slow process, so I'll skip ahead to when I'm discharged.
A few hours later...
Helena and I walked for a little bit, just to work out the soreness. We went on over towards the Castle, in which it was already fixed, probably Celestia's doing. Once we were in sight of the guards at the front gate, they saluted us. We were then guided into the throne room, where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna sat.
"We would like to thank you for defeating Black Fire, he's been one of the most wanted for 500 years. I don't know why he would try and start an uprising now."
"No problem your highness, just doing our job."
"Your highness why is he one of the most wanted?" Helena asked, Celestia gestured us to follow her. She took us to the guard station inside the castle, she brought out a ledger. He is most wanted because of treason, and possession of illegal substances.
"There's something I need to do before you leave, Helena." She is just making us follow her around the castle, only to come back where we started. Typical of her, she just likes to mess with us sometimes. Celestia's horn touched Helena's forehead, and there was an immense glow. Once the glowing stopped, Helena was a Pegasus, her coat was a pearly pink, her eyes were brown, and her mane was purple with a white secondary color. Her eyes widened, and practically strangled the princess because she was so happy.
"Okay, okay, you can let go now." She was having trouble breathing. I pried her off of the princess, I didn't know how strong she was even when we're still recovering.
"Dearly sorry cousin, she gets like that when she's excited."
"That's quite alright, Twilight gets that way too." We both chuckled, and Helena and I headed on our way to the train. She was still a pony, but I don't know how long she'll stay like this, she must really like her pony form. I can't stand being a pony for a long time, the longest I've gone as an Alicorn is a week, that's all I can manage. It took a little while to get back to Ponyville, and I was bored as fuck. I was fiddling with my datapad that was attached to my wrist, turns out I had some point streaks leftover. I think I would need them in the future, but what I didn't expect to see is that one of the streaks was a civilian care package.
"What's in it?" I asked myself, I looked at the list and it had a lot of things. Clothes, blankets, junk food, juice drinks, and a lot of other awesomeness. Once we made it to my house I threw a smoke grenade right in front of the house, The guys and Rainbow came outside to see what was up with the red smoke. Once the package dropped I opened it up, it had Kitkats!
"Rainbow, this is a Kitkat. It's chocolate, want some?" She nodded, I opened it and threw it to her. Her eyes widened, and she had that Pinkie Pie smile when she gets hyped on candy. It was already night time by the time we got here, so we decided to go to Pinkie's Club. Helena never sang before on stage, and I know she got the vocals for it from hearing her sing in her sleep.
"Helena, I think it's your turn to be the one singing." She smiled, and she whispered the song for me to play into my ear.
(Music)
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
[Beat break]
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
Young hearts, out our minds
Running 'til we outta time
Wild child's lookin' good
Living hard just like we should
Don't care whose watching when we tearing it up (You Know)
That magic that we got nobody can touch (For sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand, I'll show you the wild, side
Like it's the last night of our lives
We'll keep dancing 'til we die
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms,
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
[Beat break]
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
Young hunks, taking shots
Stripping down to dirty socks
Music up, gettin' hot
Kiss me, give me all you've got
It's pretty obvious that you've got a crush (you know)
That magic in your pants, it's making me blush (for sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives
We'll keep dancing 'til we die
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms,
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
She then gave me the microphone, I guess since I made her sing a song I should sing one as well. The guys all dressed up in a Mariachi Band, because that's what the next song has in it. I announced that this song had nothing to do with anything, because it didn't. This song to me is just fucking hilarious, because it's just a big lie.
(Music)
My heart is paralyzed
My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman
Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
I wanna live a thousand lives with you
I wanna be the one you're dying to
Love...but you don't want to
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
"Well, I can say that went well." I sat down at our corner, Pinkie Pie was over here as well. Sometimes, I don't even know why she starts talking about random shit.
"Wow Helena! You were awesome! I didn't know you could sing?" Helena giggled and was blushing too. We then started a drinking contest, of course it was too easy for me so I sat out on this one. Surprisingly, Rainbow was in the lead, I guess she's been taking my advice. They made me pay for the bill though, and alcohol doesn't come cheap at all. I took out two gold bits, two hundred bits in total, my god alcohol is expensive.
"Two hundred bits?! Rio Vista?"
"It's okay Drew! You're like super duper rich aren't you?" I nodded, and I headed outside. I climbed up on the roof, and looked at the moon and the stars. Even though my life here is great, but sometimes I miss Earth, my deceased family, my abandoned old house, the original Delta Force.
"Homesick are we?" I looked back to see Princess Luna.
"Princess? What brings you here?" I drank out of my flask.
"I heard from someone that you were singing, I wanted to see you."
"I'm afraid you just missed it, but I'll sing another for you?"
"Oh that would be most grateful Drew!" The grabbed me with her magic and hugged me. I jumped off of the roof, and I had to catch Luna once I got down there. She was relatively light so it wasn't a hassle, we both walked inside of the Club and I walked on stage.
(Music)
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess
Is it god's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
[x3]
Oooooo
She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
But we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,
Trying to make it work but,
Man these times are hard,
But we're gonna start by,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.
Ooooo
[x3]
Yeah.....
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time
ooooo...., yeah for the first time
(ooooo....), oh for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,
(just now got the feeling that we're meeting...
For the first time)
[x4]
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
