Twilight laid down on the rock she had started upon, she didn’t feel like moving just yet. She was too depressed about what she just witnessed.

“Merry told me his home world was messed up but... How could a parent cause the death of their own child? How is that even possible?” Twilight sat around on the rock for a bit longer until she steeled her resolve.

“Ok, I need to get this fixed, this mind isn’t normal at all, nothing is connected...” Twilight took a deep breath and moved a hoof from her mouth to out in front of her as she exhaled.

“Ok, 1st things 1st, I need to repair the connections between all of his memories” Twilights horn began to glow as she concentrated.

The harder she concentrated upon the spell that Luna taught her, the more the floating rocks began to move together. When she finished her spell she looked up to see that about 20 rocks had gathered around the one she was standing upon.

“Oh my Celestia... how am I going to finish connecting all of these!” Twilight groaned in frustration as she looked around her and saw a countless number of floating rocks in the distance.

“Cheero my good lady!” Twilight looked around but couldn’t see anything around her.

“Who said that?”

“Down here Ms. Sparkle!” Twilight looked down to her right side to see a very small ningen wearing a bright orange suit with a jet black top hat and a monocle. In his hand he held a bright purple cane. He tipped his hat as he looked up to her.

“My name is Mr. Biggles Worth, but you may call me Worth. I thank you kindly for bringing me closer from atop my rock. It gets quite boring being all alone, Shall we travel together my lady?” Twilight blinked a few times unsure of what to make of what she was seeing right now. Was this the same Mr Biggles Worth that Merry had been talking too?

“Um, yes I suppose? Do you know your way around here?”

“My Lady, I am both a Gentleman and a Scholar of refined tastes, of course I know my way around this rugged terrain. And I would be a terrible gentleman to not accompany you upon this journey of yours.” The small man bowed low yet again then spun his purple cane around to point over to his right side. “If I may make a suggestion, I say we travel down this way with haste.” Twilight smiled at the small man and nodded her head

“Yes of course, You wouldn’t happen to know how to fix any of this mess would you?” Mr. Worth just turned around and then pointed directly up with his cane.

“Fix? My dear, this mess is beyond fixing. It would be far simpler to wipe it clean and begin anew. But...” Twilight looked up to see a giant land mass hovering above them “... that is the central hub. All of the rocks you see floating are merely imaginations, ideas and memories that broke from it. When one comes close to the central hub it is brought to life, so to speak...”

A sudden explosion is heard followed by a clunk. Turning her head Twilight sees a large black chain has shot down into a rock about a few hundred feet below where she and Biggles Worth were standing.

“Did you put him to sleep with your spell Ms. Sparkle? It would seem he’s dreaming again...” Twilight looked down at the rock and on it was an orange door with magenta swirls.

“...Good good. It grabbed something pleasant...” Twilight just watched as the rock was pulled up to the large land mass above them.

“Well yes, It’s part of the spell but... What happens when a rock goes to the large land mass?” Mr Biggles Worth gained a smile upon his face

“You’re about to find out my dear, now stay close and watch the magic.” Before Twilight could ask him about the magic she heard a large click coming from directly above her. What see saw reminded her of those memory viewing windows Luna had shown her while traveling through Spikes mind, but it was on a much larger scale.

“Is that?” Twilight watched as the large screen turned white then color slowly began to come into view. It was the Ponyville school yard but... it looked like it was from Merry’s point of view. The view was looking over everypony’s heads and the picture would have to look down when somepony spoke.

“Yes, this is a memory, depending on what was pulled up different things will happen. Memories give way to something like a movie for us to watch. Ideas will build up on the central hub until its complete or gets tossed out. Or if a rock containing an imagination is pulled... well lets just hope we aren’t anywhere near when something bad gets pulled in.” Twilight just watched as the movie continued, it looked like one of the days when he would go pick Scootaloo up from school.

“So if we get to the central hub Mr. Worth... Will I be able to fix things?” Mr Biggles worth adjusted his monocle in thought for a moment.

“Well, I suppose you could. After a bit of work you can get things in order so things are no longer picked at complete random.” Twilight nodded her head in confirmation.

“Let us head up then Mr. Biggles Worth.” Twilights horn began to glow, but for some reason her teleportation spell didn’t take them anywhere. “Wha- What happened?” Mr. Biggles Worth looked around then up to the sky for a moment.

“It would seem... We have to take the long way around Ms. Sparkle... Follow me.” Mr. Biggles walked to the edge of the rock and looked over at the nearest one to them, and leaped across toward it.

“Wha! How? What?!”

“Hurry Ms. Sparkle, Before it travels out of reach!” Twilight opened her eyes in a bit of shock, and then ran as fast as possible and leaped after him.

Twilight flew though the air as she felt as light as a feather. She leaped so hard she thought she might of over jumped, but as she neared the new rock gravity seemed to take hold and bring her down on top of its edge.

“Oh wow, I had no idea traveling could be so easy!” Mr Biggles Worth nodded his head.

“Yes well, if you follow me, it shall all be easy like this. I told you before, I know my way around here... Now let us continue Ms. Sparkle.” Twilight looked back at the rock mass she had created and shrugged, hopefully she could do a faster job of connecting the memories at the central hub.

Twilight and Mr. Biggles leapt from rock to rock. Twilight wondered at all of the different color doors they passed. The colors ranged from pitch black to eggshell white. Some even seemed to be off colors of a common color.

It wasn’t until they landed upon a rock that they took pause. On it was a mighty Lion. Bigger than she had ever seen in any equestrian zoology book before. The large lion was covered in scars and seemed to be missing an eye. Twilight felt a chill run down her spine when it looked down to them.

“Mr. Worth, why have you returned?” The large lion looked over at Twilight and tilted his head to the side a bit. “You look... familiar...” The large lion squinted its remaining eye at Twilight then reeled back in distrust.

“You! Why are YOU here!? Have you come to finish me off?!” Twilight opened her eyes in shock. What was this giant lion talking about? Finishing him off?

“I-I’m sorry, but I don’t...” The lion released a loud roar at Twilight

“Mr Biggles Worth, what is the meaning of this?!” Mr. Worth simply bowed his head and placed his top hat against his chest.

“I apologize Dallin, I had no idea Ms. Sparkle here was the one that wounded you... We shall take our leave then...” As Worth placed his hat back upon his head and turned around to leave, Dallin spoke with a loud rumbling voice

“Wait, I still desire to know why you have come here in person... in pony... Twilight.” Twilight looked over to Mr. Biggles and he just nodded his head at her.

“I came to try... no, I came to fix what is broken here, I want to get Merry back to his old self.” The lion gained a smile on his face.

“I see, Well Twilight, perhaps you should start with me then. For you know, I represent Merry’s Pride. And I was mortally wounded by none other than you.” Twilight began to stumble her words as she tried to think.

“I, bu... when...What are you talking about?!” The lion just sat down on his rump and sighed.

“Think back to the date you had with him. After that drink the pink one gave you and him...” Twilight thought for a moment then gained a blush on her face. Thinking about the time they had in her bedroom... then when she carelessly insulted his manhood, causing him to get dressed and jump out the window... Twilight lost her blush and instead got sad.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t in my right mind at the time. I...” Dallin interrupted Twilight before she could continue her apology

“That is enough, the expression upon your face is enough. Let the rest of it be unspoken words. Now what do you plan exactly?”

“Well, I thought if I could get up to the central hub, then I could fix things from up there better than down here.”

“True, fixing things down here would be like trying to empty the oceans with a small play bucket. Using the central hub might be a little faster. Probably close to using a normal bucket to empty a large lake... Let us be off then.”

“You’re coming with us?”

“But of course, I cant allow a lady to travel a potentially dangerous area with only a gentlemanly scholar at her side.”

Twilight smiled up at the giant lion as he turned around and looked to the nearest rock that would lead them upwards.

“I must let you know beforehand Ms Sparkle, we will have to get rid of the 2 that are currently controlling the central hub right now.”

“What do you mean? I thought Merry would be up there or something. Who’s controlling him?”

“2 things that were brought forth from a traumatic past... but it wasn’t his own that these things came from... We best hurry along.” As Dallin reached the edge of the rock, a bunch of little rocks began to form as his foot came down preventing him from falling.

Twilight just watched in amazement as a path opened up before them as Dallin lead the way. The path of rocks were slowly spiraling upward toward the nearest rock above them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Up inside the central hub, a man dressed in torn clothing with the left side of his head shaved completely bald was watching a monitor. On it was a purple pony traveling with a small human wearing a top hat and suit. In front of them was a large battle scarred lion as well.

“What does that stupid bitch think she’s doing? What can she possibly fix? Its her fault everything exploded around here... Mistress!” the angry man turned around to look at the large breasted woman behind him. The woman was wearing black leather clothing with torn blue jeans and brandishing a whip over her shoulder. She turned to him and sighed

“What is it Curse?”

“That purple bitch is in here, she’s trying to find her way here and fix the fucking mess she made with her stupid spell.”

“You mean the memory spell that made this mess? The same one that blew up the memory banks?”

“Yes that fucking memory spell, not only did it destroy the memory banks, it blew up all the hard work we did making him the way we want him. Now Merry remembers everything about everything!”

“Yes well, He still thinks we are his friends, we can still do what we can to set things in order right? Our order anyway.”

“Yeah, but the purple bitch is gonna have to die so she doesn’t fuck things up again.”

“I agree. You keep and eye on her, I’ll keep reworking his memories the way they need to be...” Mistress licked her lips as she slapped her own behind with the whip in her hand and walked off toward the back room.

“How dare she fuck this up. I’ll never get to see the world burn at this rate...”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being inside an astral body is great, for one you never become tired, at least not physically. Twilight, Dallin and Mr. Worth had been traveling for what seemed like hours. Twilight wondered how many hours had past, the spell she used made hours within the mind last only a few minutes in the real world.

“Do you mind if I ask you a Question Dallin?” Without turning around Dallin responded as he kept the steady pace going.

“I’ll answer if I can, what is your question?”

“Well, I’ve been wondering about all of the doors and the rocks. So far, about 95% of the rocks I’ve seen have doors. And the other 5% were empty or had something on it that wasn’t a door. Why is that?” Mr. Biggels responded in place of Dallin.

“Ms. Sparkle I thought I explained it already, the doors are memories and then the things like us, are his ideas and imaginations, and even his personality traits.”

“Well that’s true, but what about the colors? What’s the difference between them? I was only ever in Spikes mind, but they were labeled instead of color coded... And why is everything destroyed? Merry’s mind has no structure.”

“I can answer that one. The colors are based on the emotion that is the strongest at the time of its creation. and as for why everything is a mess? I honestly have no idea. Before everything exploded... Areas were just missing, or in complete ruin. Some areas looked like they were pieces together with spit and gum. But to answer your question as to why everything looks like this? For some reason or another Everything was released, and those that we thought lost, suddenly came back. And I mean EVERYTHING.”

Twilight was suddenly aware that this mess was probably all of her fault, she did recall being told that Merry had taken in the memories of those 30 children. Did her memory spell also cause him to remember all of those as well? Was the sudden overload of memories the cause of this huge mess?

“As for what the door colors mean? Well, Stay away from the shades of blue, black, grey, yellow... Actually stay away from all the doors. Except the pink ones. Those are the interesting ones.”

“What’s behind the pink ones?” Dallin and Mr Worth got a big grin on their faces

“Merry’s lustful thoughts and actions. Some of them contained you actually, we all got to see them.” Dallin looked over to Twilight as she got a huge blush on her face. While Mr Worth simply coughed into his hand

“Ah we're here...” Twilight looked up, still blushing, and saw the large land mass that had been floating above them was now eye level with them and really close. “Now, we just need to find a safe path and...” Dallin was cut off as a loud explosion was heard.

A large chain was flying directly at them. It didn’t look like the chain that had grabbed all of the other rocks as they were traveling. This one looked dangerous, The chain was a bright red and had spikes on it. For some reason Dallin and Mr Worth got a very serious expression on their faces. And turned to look around the rock.

“Not good Sir Dallin... this is not good at all.” Dallin took a deep breath and nodded his head in agreement.

“Indeed, we are in the wrong place at the wrong time...” Twilight looked back and forth between the two of them then at the door. It was a black door with white stripes, or was it a white door with black stripes?

“Whats wrong with that door? And why is the chain red instead of black?”

“Those two must of been watching us...” Dallin looked down to Twilight as he spoke. “...White doors are memories of terrible pain... Merry doesn’t have a lot of those, but Black doors are hiding monstrous nightmares...” Twilights eyes widened at what white and black doors were. This door was both!

“As for the red chain... it gives whatever it attaches to free reign, basically... Merry is going to re-live a nightmare, and we just got invited along for the ride...”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hmm... This isn’t good, I can’t do much against magic...” Glork witnessed the purple pony cast two spells on Merry. The 1st one basically made his head pop, and the second one put him to sleep. And no matter what Glork did, he wasn’t waking up. And for some reason the room seemed really tense. Ever since Merry went to sleep the room was deathly silent.

Glork made himself a small eye and looked around the room. For some reason it contained at least 3 times as many guards then usual. Not just that, but it looked like they all had adamantine armor on. To make matters worse all of the ponies couldn’t keep their eyes off the sleeping Merry. It would be impossible for him to discreetly do something with them all watching like that...

Unless he kept his movements limited to inside Merry’s body...

Glork got to work. He wasn’t sure how well this would work, but he couldn’t risk Merry sleeping any longer. He had overheard that griffin king talking about killing Merry, his host, after the ponies arrived and were dealt with. He couldn’t waste anymore time, his life was at stake now.

For some reason, Merry began to have labored breathing as if he was scared...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Twilight, Dallin and Mr Worth were standing on the rock staring at the door. It slowly began to creak open, the closer they got to the central hub the more the door opened. The spell Twilight had cast upon herself still seemed to be active. As the door opened a mix of black mist with white mist crept from the door.

“Ms Sparkle, Stay behind Dallin and I. We shall stop what ever comes forth from that door...” Twilight nodded her head and stood behind them.

Twilight watched as a giant hand grasped the doors edge and moments later a large face appeared from the shadows of it. It had a twisted cruel smile upon its face. It slowly pulled its way through and 2 more followed out after it. Just as big with the same twisted smiles on their faces. The one in the middle spoke with a voice that would make one think it was stupid, but strong.

“Well Well, are you friends of that girly boy Sue?” Twilight just looked at them then back to her two protectors, they stood silent staring at them stone faced. “Fine don’t answer, We’ll still beat the crap outta you, and I mean that literally. Ha ha ha!” the other two joined in the laugher as their rock finally connected to the central hub.

Something Twilight never expected to happen, happened. Instead of the giant screen appearing like with most of the other memories. They were seemingly teleported away and appeared in a playground with the 3 monstrously huge ningens. Twilight looked around her and saw Merry on a swing.

He was just a small boy all by himself, and he looked sad. The 3 huge ningens shoved their way past Twilight, Dallin and Mr Worth as they moved to Merry.

“Hey there Girly boy Sue. I heard about your grandpa and grandma’s death. Do you know how they died?” Merry just shook his head sadly as he swung back N’ forth on the swing.

“They died because of you! They couldn’t stand having such a weak girly grandson like you!” Merry clenched his eyes shut and gripped the swings chain harder.

“Shut-up Kyle! That’s not true!”

“Its totally true. I mean come one, Merry Sue? You should been a girl! Haha!” the other two bullies joined in the laughter and the cruel joke they were using upon Merry.

Twilight couldn’t just watch, She had to do something. Even if this was just a memory.

“Guys, we have to help him! We can’t just let them bully him like that! Its so cruel!” Dallin and Mr. Worth just shook their heads.

“There’s nothing we can do but watch, and hope we don’t become their target when they are finished.”

“Yes Ms. Sparkle. The red chain is dangerous. We got caught in it, we will be lucky to get away unharmed, its best we sit back.” Twilight closed her eyes trying to ignore what was happening in front of her. There had to be something she could do... She suddenly heard a smacking noise. She opened her eyes to see Merry had a clenched fist and one of the giants holding its cheek.

Twilight suddenly remembered something Princess Luna had told her about nightmares. They can be dissipated, but its best to face your fear to make it disappear forever. Standing up to them should make them go away or something right?

“Now you’ve gone and done it little Sue!” Twilight was wrong, they didn’t go away or get smaller, instead they got bigger and muscles that weren’t visible on them before suddenly became clear as day. She watched in shock horror as the 3 huge ningen shaped things beat upon Merry.

First they pushed him around then took turns punching him in the face. It wasn’t until Merry fell to the ground on his hands and knees did they let up for a bit. But only for a bit, the twisted smiles on their faces got even bigger as they began to kick him in the ribs and continued until he was in the fetal position shivering.

“This isn’t right, why is no one helping him? He couldn’t of been alone during this right? This is a just a really bad dream right?” Dallin sighed as he continued to watch

“This was once a memory, but it left such an image on him, it became a nightmare for awhile, Merry was finally able to forget about it. But... it came back for some reason.” Twilight felt even worse now, he was having this nightmare because she brought it back with her careless memory spell.

When the bullies stopped kicking him they just stood over him. Twilight was glad they had finally finished and would no longer hurt him. But what Dallin and Mr. Worth had said earlier echoed in her mind.

...become their target...

Twilight had decided it best to try and find a place to hide or keep out of sight from them, she began to look around the area with a bit of panic, not wanting to be the next target that they beat mercilessly. But before she could find a place to hide, she heard what sounded like water hitting cloth. Confused as to hear such an odd sound she looked back over to Merry. What she saw disgusted her.

The bullies only stopped beating him so they could pee on him! Twilight suddenly felt ashamed of herself, worrying for her own well being over a friend that was in trouble. She had to do something, even if none of this was real and only a dream, she had to do something.

“Dallin, Mr. Worth, step aside...” Dallin and Mr Worth turned around to look at Twilight who was charging up her horn to cast a spell of some kind.

“Ms. Sparkle! Please don’t!” Twilight wasn’t listening to them anymore, she charged up her spell and fired at the 3 nightmare bullies. It impacted the one called Kyle on the back and exploded in a purple haze.

“Why did my spell explode?! It wasn’t supposed to explode!” When the dark purple haze faded away, the 3 giant bullies were still standing, but looking directly at Twilight and her 2 companions. They didn’t look happy at all.

“Look guys, Little Sues friends think they can help!” Twilight stood her ground, even if this was a nightmare she knew they couldn’t hurt her... at least physically. But why did her spell explode? They were supposed to of disappeared, banished. Luna taught her that spell. Did she miscast it?

“Ms. Sparkle, I highly suggest you end the spell that’s keeping Sir Merry asleep... This can get bad very fast.”

“No! I haven’t fixed anything yet! And we’re so close!” The nightmare bullies were making their way over cracking their knuckles as they walked closer to them. Dallin just chuckled to himself.

“I see were gonna have to find a way out of this then...” Dallin inhaled a deep breath and released a loud roar at them, while striking a powerful pose.

“I supposed if a gentleman must get into a scuffle it should be for a lady.” Mr Biggles Worth placed his top hat down upon the ground with his coat followed by his shirt, he folded them both up and placed them on the ground behind him.

The 3 nightmare bullies weren’t intimidated by Dallin at all, they simply ran and jumped on top of him. Surprisingly Twilight saw Mr. Biggles Worth grab a bully by the leg and tear him off of Dallin, then slam him into the ground. How he did such a feat was beyond her as he only came up to their shins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As all of the ponies just watched Twilight sit next to Merry channeling her spell. Diamond Claw was pacing back and forth inside the throne room. He wants to take the stupid ponies out now, and all at once. But he had to wait for Celestia to arrive, hopefully... Speak of the devil.

Celestia walked into the throne room being lead by a small female griffin that was left to be her escort when she was ready to join them.

“I apologize for my tardiness. But I was a little tired from the travel over and needed a short rest.” Diamond Claw could see the bags under her eyes and tiredness in her voice. This was going to be easier then he thought.

Then the delicious looking green filly spoke up catching everyone's attention.

“Moma, why does Twilight have a black eye?” Everyone looked over to Twilight, she did indeed have a black eye. Luna sighed

“It would seem Ms. Sparkle needs more practice separating her spiritual body from her real one...”

Diamond Claw just looked to his guard captain and nodded his head in confirmation to begin the operation. He saluted and began to make claw signals at the numerous griffins about the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“AHH! That hurt! Why did that hurt!?” Twilight was holding a hoof up to her eye as one of the bullies got a lucky swing and got her square in the eye. Not wanting to get hit again she leapt away and tried to cast that spell Luna taught her to make nightmares go away. She just needed to put more power into it, she was sure of it.

Twilights horn gained a second layer to it and launched it at the bully that hit her in the face. It didn’t explode this time, the spell sunk into the nightmare bully and he just looked at his hands. Light began to shine through parts of his hands and spread until the light enveloped him and he disappeared.

The other 2 bullies took notice of this and began to back off.

“We’ll get you for this!” they ran off and the nightmare seemed to end as the area dissipated and she found herself in the familiar broken world of floating rocks.

“Aha! We’re back! Now lets get things back in order then!” Dallin stepped in front of Twilight Followed by Mr. Worth.

“We could of died you know. Lucky for you we were strong enough to fend them off... and when did you start sporting black eye liner?” Twilight just got a confused look on her face. Black eye liner? She shook her head.

“Never mind that! Come on we have to hurry!” Mr Worth just finished replacing his coat and top hat.

“Yes well, we did come all this way didn’t we? Its about time we finished this little task here.” Mr Worth and Dallin spun around to lead the way for Twilight when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. The little Merry was still in the fetal position on the floor. He didn’t disappear like the rest of it. Was this his actual self? Twilight slowly walked up to him. He no longer had signs of getting beat up, his cloths looked normal and no longer wet.

“Hey Merry, are you ok?” Merry just turned his head up to look at the voice addressing him and saw Twilight. He got a smile on his face.

“Oh hey Star butt. What are you doing here?” Merry got out of his fetal position and sat up looking at Twilight who had a blush on her face.

“I told you not to call me star butt.” Merry just gave her a big grin and a light chuckle.

“Yeah, that’s right, Where you going?” Twilight looked behind her at Dallin and Mr Worth. They had stopped and turned around waiting for her to catch up to them.

“I’m off the central hub to see about fixing this mess I made.” Merry put his hand to his chin as he thought for a minute.

“Sounds interesting... mind if I tag along?” Twilight gained a smile on her face

“I would love it if you joined me.” she held out a hoof and Merry grabbed it and pulled himself up into a standing position. He looked just like how she remembered him. He put his hands into his pockets and followed Twilight.

They walked for a few minutes and then everyone stopped in front of a large flat building that seemed to go on for miles in each direction.

“This here’s the control hub Twilight... and this is were we part ways.”

“You can’t come inside with me?”

“Sorry, but we're just thoughts and imaginations, we can’t enter unless we hold a strong enough presence... But Merry can go in with you” Twilight looked over to Merry who just shrugged and walked up to the door and pushed it open.

“Lets go my sweet lavender princess. Perhaps adventure awaits inside.” Twilight got another blush on her face.

“I told you not to call me that anymore as well...” Merry just laughed as she followed him inside.

“You think they will be ok Sir Dallin?”

“Yeah, they’ll be fine, It looks like Merry got back in control after he saw her, did you see the look on his face?”

“Aye, I did... Would you like some Whisky while we wait for the results?”

“If you can get me a bowl of some yeah, I don’t have hands...”

“But of course Sir Dallin!”

Back inside the control hub Twilight was looking at all the different doors around her. This place reminded her of Spikes mind, each door was labeled and the space between them was moderately short.

“Ok, think Twilight...” Twilight took a deep breath as she looked at the door labeled Language. She opened it and inside it was a destoryed wreck of a room. Books papers and pictures were thrown everywhere.

Twilight closed the door and she gave her horn a glow and channeled a spell at the door. After a few minutes she ceased her spell and opened the door. The entire room was now neat and tidy. Everything looked to be in place once again. She turned to look at Merry and he placed his left hand on his head and shook it back and forth for a moment.

“What did you do? For some reason... I feel smarter.” Twilight just giggled

“I repaired the language part of your memory. Now lets head to the other rooms and get to work on them as well.” Merry just shrugged and followed her with his hands on top of his head.

Twilight decided it would be best to cast that memory repair spell on every door she passed. She couldn’t of been even half way done when she started to feel exhausted. Was she running low on her magical power now of all times? When she was almost done?

Between heavy pants she continued to cast the spell until she felt like she needed a break before she collapsed. She sat down on her rump next to Merry who had taken to just sitting crossed legged as he watched her work.

“Glad your taking a break, my heads been itching like crazy. And its kinda hard to scratch your brain.” Twilight gave a light chuckle as she took a breather.

After a few minutes she heard a nasty male voice yell from down the hallway.

“Hey you Purple bitch! Who said you could fix what you fucked up Huh?!” Twilight didn’t recognize his voice or appearance at all. He was dressed in torn clothing with the left side of his head shaved completely bald. He looked like some kind of punk, even by equestrian standards. Merry stood up in front of Twilight.

“Now Curse, I can see why you're upset, but you know she’s a friend who was only trying to help, even if she did make things worse... She’s trying to fix her mistake, so calm down bro.” Curse simply growled

“No way man, its all an elaborate trick Merry! She’s been using spells left and right to insert herself throughout your life! This Purple bitch is working with Princess Celestia!” Merry looked down at Twilight who had a horrified and confused look on her face.

“I... No, that can’t be right...” Merry slapped his head “... you're just fucking with me right Curse? I mean... that wouldn’t... Why would she implant memories of us having kinky sex?! That’s... that’s CRAZY!” Twilight began to blush at the thought. She remembered the times he would come over late at night once a week.

“Its crazy but true Merry! She’s got herself so deeply ingrained! That’s why she made this mess inside your head To hide her true intentions! Let us kill her and be done with it!” Merry just sat back down with his head in his hands.

“I... Let me think... Twilight what’s your say in all this?” Curse seemed to be enraged that Merry was asking Twilight for her opinion on the matter.

“What! Your going to hear this Purple bitch out?! I’m your friend, remember?!” Merry grumbled something that Twilight couldn't hear. But she decided to tell him what she knew so far.

“Merry, right now I am projecting myself inside your mind. This thing called Curse, this thing isn’t real, he’s not your friend. You have to remember Merry. You lived in Ponyville for awhile. If he was your friend wouldn’t you remember anything more about him?” Merry squinted his eyes as he looked at the floor in thought. Curse growled and clenched his fists

“That’s it! I’m killing this purple bitch now before she can poison your mind anymore!” As Curse stomped forward he pulled a knife from behind him to strike Twilight who just stood her ground and closed her eyes. But then something happened that she didn’t expect.

She heard the sound of a knife piercing flesh but didn’t feel it. When she opened her eyes she saw that Merry had caught Curses knife with his palm and closed his fingers around Curses hand preventing him from pulling back.

“I just remembered two things right now. The 1st thing was that a long time ago. Twilight said my dick was smaller then a baby’s. If she wanted me to see her in a good light, why the fuck would she implant a memory like that? And second...” Merry looked back at Twilight and smiled ... “You’re a fucking asshole that convinced me killing young griffins was ok... Next to the fucking bitch Mistress!” Curse just growled as he tried to pull his hand free from Merry’s grip.

“No! Wait! You have to...” Merry Slugged Curse across the face and sent him flying back.

“Now let me tell you something. Even though you live in my head and whisper things to me. Killing children is never acceptable. Adults I have no qualms over, don’t get me wrong I could kill adults left and right and not feel a thing, why? Because as far as I’m concerned they lived a full life and what ever choices they make are their own. But a child? A youngin that hasn’t reached adult hood... that’s entirely different. All children do stupid things, but that's because... well all kids are stupid and do stupid things, so we gotta forgive em and let certain things slide. But an adult should know his right from wrong, and if he makes a wrong choice that ends up causing his or her death? Then oh well... I... I kinda forgot where I was going with this...hmm...” Merry looked back to Twilight and smiled.

“Hey Twilight end yer spell, you did enough, lets back to the real world besides... I still have to kill a certain griffin...” Twilight opened her eyes wide

“You can’t kill him! Its, its... It’s not right!” Merry sighed.

“Fine... fine... I’ll just beat him to an inch of his life then. I won't kill him for taking my little girl, I did kill his sons after all... an eye for an eye right?”

“But... Merry what about...” Twilight was cut off when Merry suddenly interrupted her.

“Oh yeah! Of course how could I forget! Come it should be around here somewhere...” Twilight just looked at Merry slightly confused for a moment but followed him regardless. After a brisk walk and a trot they stopped in front of a room labeled music.

“Here we are! Fix this room for me too yeah?” Merry opened the door and peaked inside. It was a mess and part of the room was missing.

“Alright... But you have to promise me not to kill him! I guess... beating him up a little is ok...” Merry just grinned ear to ear as Twilight channeled her spell at the door. When she finished Merry opened the door and waltzed inside.

“Awesome awesome... You did a great job... lets listen to this before you end the spell yeah?” Twilight just nodded her head. As Merry picked a silver disc off the shelf and then walked over to a large stereo system and put it inside. It reminded Twilight of the one Vinyl Scratch had.

Pink Floyd - Sorrow

Twilight sat next to Merry as sounds began to slowly be played. The song was slow, and made her think of a desolate field or a landscape that might of been torn apart by war. But it suddenly picked up while still holding on to its sorrowful tune.

“Hey Twilight, if you could have one wish. What would it be?” Twilight looked down to the floor in thought for a moment.

“Well, I’m not so sure, I mean, I have everything that I... well. Right now I’d want you to come back with all of us to Ponyville...” Merry smiled and continued to listen to the song for a moment.

“If I had one wish, I would want a reset button for life. The ability to fix past mistakes and broken promises...”

Author's Notes:

Life with a Reset button would make things easy wouldn't it?
