Act 2-1
You don't say???

Andrew headed on over to Twilight's House, but he did not expect anything out of the ordinary. He was dead wrong, scrolls everywhere, inkwells spilled over,books either out of place or on the floor, and Twilight was no better. Her mane was all out of whack and she looked like she belonged in an insane asylum.

"Twilight? You okay?" Andrew asked, Twilight looked at him with her creeper face.

"Of course I'm okay? Why wouldn't I be okay?" She said with a hint of sadism. Andrew just eyeballed her.

"What am I going to do? I have no friendship report to give to the Princess! I know! I'll ask my friends! Andrew, come with me." She dragged Andrew by the arm with her magic, Andrew had no choice but to follow. She went towards the park, and Andrew was trying to keep up with Twilight.

"Twilight slow down! I can't keep up with ponies, with me being two legged and all." He said in between breaths of air, but Twilight refused to listen and went faster instead of slower. Once there Twilight stopped abruptly, and while stopping her magic Andrew was sent flying into a tree. They all stared at Twilight while Andrew was recovering, and Twilight explained her predicament right as Andrew stood up.

"Don't worry about it Twilight! I'm sure Princess Celestia will let you off the hook." Rainbow said, and pretty much everypony agreed to that.

Andrew shrugged as he walked off, and went back to the Police Station. Nick was at the front desk, using the counter as a leg rest. Andrew pulled his feet off of the leg rest, which made Nick fall out of the chair.

"Nick, take over tonight's shift for me. I'll pay you extra." He ordered, Nick saluted and walked off.

"You barely pay me at all." He grumbled as he walked by him. Andrew set down his helmet and goggles, letting out a deep sigh. He managed the front desk until it was about 4 in the afternoon, and things were very odd.

'There's an angry mob going outside, I guess I'm gonna be prepared for a riot.' Andrew said, putting on his B.D.U. He walked out the door and saw what looked to be a love fest, because the eyes of everypony in town had pink hearts as pupils, and Twilight was chasing after what seemed to be a sack doll. Nick was also there, trying to suppress the ponies as he too was chasing after the doll, but his eyes weren't hearts.

"Nick! Sitrep, now!" He demanded.

"Sir, everything's gone FUBAR, thanks to Miss Crazy over here." He pointed to Twilight.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want this to happen! Now I can't control them since I used the Want it Need it Spell!" She said. Andrew kneeled down to comfort Twilight, and put a hand on her back.

"It's alright Twilight, but you're gonna have to help me fix this. How much time do we have until it becomes permanent?" He asked.

"We have until sundown, we got two hours." She explained, Andrew nodded as he went into town, where the mob was still fighting over the doll.

"Let's do this! LEEEEROOOYYY JEEENKINNNS-UGHH!" He said, charging head into the crowd, once he located the doll, he saw that it was in mid air. He jumped and caught it with one hand, but one thing didn't happen to him like it did the others, he didn't start getting obsessed.

"Huh, I guess the spell is wearing off." He said, pocketing the enchanted doll. He then looked up and saw that he was surrounded by a mob of infatuated ponies. He was completely surrounded, with no way out, and they were inching closer to Andrew by the second.

"I stand corrected..." He said, vaulting over one of them and hauled ass. They were catching up to Andrew faster than he expected, but then he saw that his team and Twilight were over by the town square, trying to calm the hypnotized ponies down enough to where they wouldn't chase Andrew.

Andrew took out the doll and held it in his right hand, he had to do something fast before he gets trampled by multicolored ponies.

"Nick! Go long!" Nick shot out of his seat as he went in the opposite direction of where Andrew was running. He threw a Hail Mary as if he were playing Football, and Nick caught it and kept running. Andrew hunched over to catch his breath, and Twilight came running after him.

"Andrew, how are you not affected by the spell?" Andrew put a hand on his head as a sudden migraine came on. He knelt down and tried to suppress the headache, to no avail.

"Andrew, are you alright?" She asked, he nodded as he stood back up.

"To answer your... rgh... question, I have no earthly... rgh... idea." He said, still suffering from the migraine.

'Don't fight it Andrew.' He heard something say in his head. He gritted his teeth as the headache got stronger.

"Get out of my head." Andrew said inside of his mind. As a response Carmine took his physical representation and pulled it deeper into his mind. She grabbed him by the neck and threw him against the wall. Andrew wasn't able to do anything but to try and resist as she threw him against the wall, numerous times.

'What am I to you Andrew? Your regret? The reason you suppress your memories of us, the reason why you keep running? Or am I your guilt? Why you keep fighting, the only thing you held dear to you!?' Andrew coughed as he tried to speak.

"Because you were my family, and if I let you guys go, I got nothing." Once Andrew said that, Carmine let him go, she didn't say another word as she went back to Andrew's family. Andrew was sent back into the real world, but at the cost of all of his suppressed memories coming back again. He instantly got in an upwards position, looking around, and he could hear a very distinct heartbeat monitor.

"Don't worry, Andrew. You're fine now, that was quite the headache you had there, one of the worst I've seen in years." He heard a motherly voice say, he turned and saw Princess Celestia, sitting there on the sofa.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the Ponyville Hospital, you were trampled by a mob of ponies while you were vulnerable with that headache." She explained, he nodded as he took a deep breath.

"Why did you get a sudden headache in the middle of town?" She asked, Andrew sighed.

"It's best if I showed you." He brought up his wrist computer and displayed a holographic projection of the Las Vegas Incident. Celestia was struck with horror as the civilians were being burned alive, and others being blown to pieces as more and more of the building tore apart.

"My family, including my fiance, were killed in that attack. I was there when it happened, but I wasn't in the same building. Ever since then I contracted Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and now my dead family haunt me until this day. I think it's called Dementia or something like that. The funny thing is that sometimes they can help me, other times they try to kill me." He said, looking down.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say." She tried to comfort him.

"That's because there is nothing to say."

"Wait a minute, what happened to Twilight's Spell? The town?" Andrew asked, Celestia chuckled.

"That's why I'm here in the first place, I had to cancel the spell myself. One thing seemed to catch my eye, how come you and your team weren't affected by the spell."

"I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that ma'am."
