Awkward Situations

The Stayings

Previous Chapter

Rarity, Twilight, and Celsius left the forest in a slumped and slow motion. Each of them seemed to be, in some degree, depressed; especially Sweetie Belle, who was still softly whimpering whole on Rarity's back.

"Well, he certainly was an interesting character, to say the least." Celsius said. Twilight and Rarity both shot him a glare as Sweetie Belle clenched her eyes tighter and sobbed a bit louder. "Uh, what I meant was, um..." Rarity and Twilight were relentless with their stares. "...Nevermind."

"I think what he's trying to say is that it was fun while it lasted." Twilight said. Sweetie Belle had stopped her crying but still had her face buried into her forelegs.

BANG BANG BANG!!!!

Every turned their attention back to the forest and saw a brilliant display of many different colored sparks and flashes.

VRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-BOOM!!

A giant white light and a loud explosion went off. When the four of them regained their vision, they became a bit more sad, for they knew what the flashing meant.

"He's gone..." Sweetie Belle said. Her crying started up again, and the group turned back around to go home.

"YO! PONIES!" Sweetie Belle immediately flung her head up. "Where the hell are you guys going?!" Everyone whipped around and were all completely surprised to see none other than Jack running towards them!

"Jack!?" They all shouted.

"No, it's Scootaloo! Who do you think it is?" Sweetie Belle leaped off of her sister's back and sprinted to Jack where she jumped up to him and held him in a hug.

"Jack! You stayed! But why? I thought you wanted to see your family." The little filly asked.

"I did. I really did. But, I thought about what you said. 'What if they're not like I remember?' Well, what if they're not? I will have wasted my time and landed myself in hell with no way to get back. And I just can't take that chance. Especially if it means I have to say goodbye to friends like you." Sweetie Belle's eyes watered as she drew an immense smile across her face. "You're like the little pony sister I never had, and I can't let that go."

"But if you're staying here, then what was the flashing and sparking back there?" Twilight asked. Jack smiled.

"I gave that potion to some other pony that was wondering around the forest, looking for me. She seemed pretty stoked about it, and I guess she just used it." Sweetie Belle hugged Jack tighter.

"Thank you." She said. "Thank you for staying with us.

Clop Clop Clop

Jack and Sweetie released their hug and turned to the purple and blue maned mare that was approaching them.

"Uh, I don't mean to be a bother, but have any of you seen my friend, Lyra Heartstrings?"

Jack laughed loudly and the others soon joined in as the camera slowly panned out and the screen faded to black.

The End.
