"Th..ere'ssh no posshhible way...youssh can win." Jake spoke to me as he moved his queen across the board and took another knight from my team, throwing the green liquid down his throat.

"You'd thinnnk that. Wouldn't chuuu." I said, now drunker than my body had ever been. "But I bet's you that I won'ts lose a game of chessh against you in my life time!" I used a pawn to take out his rook, taking the shot in my fingers and staring hard at the brown fluid inside. Meh it's just beer, I thought to myself.

In case you were wondering what the hell it was we were doing at the time. We're playing booze chess. A little game we picked up at a bar one night when we saw the bartender playing with one of the locals and beating his ass at it. The rules are simple. Every time you take someones piece, you take the shot of what ever it is they placed in the glass. The winner gets to hang it over the losers head for as long as they want and they win what ever it was you bet them. It's not exactly like the winner always wins though. Last time we played, I won and blacked out cause the bastard put sliverwvits into every fucking shot. (Sliverwvits is like vodka but %89 instead of 30-40 percent). And consequently, I'm not doing so hot right now.

The party died down at what I think was about 1am. I'm not too sure due to the fact that someone stole my clock and used it as a frisbee (which I gotta admit I played a game with of) out on the quad.

"You're down to ohhnly five players, how in satan's name do you think you could win??" Jake you fool, you greatly underestimate my powers!

"Hmm..I'm not shhure actually." When I said this he laughed at me and shut his eyes tight and fell back in his chair. That's when I made my move and took six shots from side, almost throwing up as I did so. He got back up and stared at the board for a moment but didn't notice what I did, even with me turning a shade of green.

"Just give up and I promise I won't make the punishhment severe." Nice try Jake, but this is only going to end with you vomiting and me finally seeing you do it!! I screamed inside my head.

There's only about five people still in my room, two of which are passed out on the floor and the other three have a beer in hand, watching us struggle through this insane game of chess. I watched diligently as he moved his pawn closer to my side of the board. Then moved the last pawn I had, four moves away from his queen, and watched as he played directly into my trap.

"Yet another pawn meets it's end to the queen of absinthe!" He yelled in victory over my pawn.

"And now your queen meets her end!" I quickly moved my last rook from the other side of the board and took out his most powerful member. Taking the shot like a champ.

"You bastard! How did I not see that coming?!" He said furiously.

"You're wasted. Remember?" I said with a deadpan stare.

"Riiiight. Almost forgot!" Are you fucking kidding me? He's drunk and doesn't even know he's drunk? This man is truly impossible to make vomit. "Well I guess I can still do this." He moved his remaining rook and took my bishop from it's almost perfect position to check the fucker into submission.

"God damn it.." I exhaled deeply a look of frustration no doubt covering my face. I was so close! I sat back sighing, looking over my last 3 pieces; Queen, Bishop, and Rook. Fuck.

"Oh come on, I only have a rook and 2 pawns. At least try, man." Don't push me, Jake.

"Yeah, yeah." I thought about my next move carefully. I could take out his rook with my bishop, but then I'd lose it to his pawn. If I went for his pawns, he would take out my bishop and leave me with my rook and queen to take out his rook and other pawn. But I would lose my rook to his pawn and be left with my queen. His pawn is only 2 moves from making it to the end of the board and becoming a queen where I'd be forced to try and move as close as I could, but I'd be at least 1 move behind him so I would lose that fight easily and he would be able to check me until I gave up... Ya screw that, even if I could win, I just want this damn game to be over so I can get some rest. I'm just going to confuse him the best I can...

"Fuck. I don't think we can finish this game.." I said with a strange sort of shock in my voice.

"What, how so?" He asked, almost intrigued at the thought of us not finishing.

"If I take out your pawn with my bishop, you'll no doubt take my bishop with your rook. Then I'd be forced to take your rook with my queen, and you, your pawn soon to be queen take out my queen. We would be left with two kings on opposite sides of the board, constantly moving father away from each other until we got bored enough to end this stupid game and go get a bottle of champagne to celebrate me leaving." I ended while fainting shock.

"Awe fuck. You're right." He picked up his rook and pawn quickly and threw them back. Me, smiling in victory that the drunk didn't even notice how bad I just lied did the same with my rook and bishop, then my queen and he his other pawn. We stared at one another for a moment then grasped our kings in hand.

"One."

"Two."

"THREE!"

"THREE!"

We yelled in unison as we picked up our kings and tossed 'em down our throats.

"Well shit. That was a good game." I said as I looked at Jake. No...I thought. It can't be...

"Oh god. Oh sweet mother of christ!" He yelled as he covered his mouth. HOLY SHIT! YES! DO IT JAKE. DO IT! I screamed through my mind.

"No. No. Nonononono." He stood up staring at me wide-eyed.

"DO IT JAKE! FUCKING DO IT!" I have to see this. I have to see this!

"Oh. My. God." He said as he lurched forward and, well, remember the movie the Exorcist? Ya, it's just like that.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" I screamed in victory as I continued to watch him empty his beer and booze filled gullet. The last few people in the room just looked at me like I was crazy. Whatever bitches, I just saw the indestructible man vomit! "FINALLY! You finally fucking did it." I said relieved as I sat back down in my chair.

"Oh fuck you." He said through dry heaves, knowing exactly what I meant.

As I sat there I felt like I was forgetting something important...

My eyes shot open when my drunken mind finally remembered.

"SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!" I screamed as I ran over to one of the people passed out on the floor, ripping his arm up towards my face, staring at his watch. "It's 3am?!?!? I said I would meet her in a few hours, not another 9!!"

"Just tell her you were drinking. She wont mind." He said as he fell backwards and passed out.

"Yeah, cause she totally liked it when I showed up earlier; drunk." I said to myself as I lead the people left in my dorm out the door and dragged the two, face down out into the hall.

I walked over to Jake and picked him up, placing him in a sitting position on my couch. "You better wake up by at least 3pm Jake. You can tell the hospital I drank myself into a coma..." I grabbed his hand and clenched it. "Thanks, Jake. This was fucking insane. Going to miss you the most." I tried to let go but he held it strong.

"Same here, bud." He said as he let go and fell asleep. I smiled, hearing this from my best friend; the last time I'm going to see him.

Walking through the discarded cups and bottles, knocking an empty keg over, I made my way to my bed. The last time I'm going to ever see this place... My last and final sleep in this world, I thought.

I changed into a decent attire and slipped my runners on. "Might as well make myself look presentable." I said to the dark and empty room, the only light being the crescent moon peaking through my curtains. "See you in another lifetime, Jake. It was fun while it lasted."

And with that; I left Earth and all I knew, behind.

"Luna... PLEASE stop complaining." Celestia said to the upset mare laying face down on the floor of the throne room. "I'm positive he's simply spending more time with his loved ones than he originally thought." She spoke to Luna as her eyes felt heavy, bags underlining them. She hadn't slept for hours...Luna's been keeping her awake, making sure that once he got here, they would be here at the right moment to welcome him.

"But sisterrrrr." She whined. "He said he was only going to be a few more hours. It's been multiple since we spoke to him last..." She said through a slightly muffled voice, due to the fact that she was calling the floor of the throne room her faces new home. "Maybe he left us behind after all..."

"Lulu, I'm sure he's coming. You said yourself that he couldn't think of not being with you. There's no way he wouldn't come. Just it give it time dear sister." She said to Luna, more for the human named Seth's sake than hers...If he didn't show, and made Luna anymore depressed than she already was, oh she would make him pay. She would search for as long as it took to make his body burn with the fury of a thousand suns and watch as his body blistered and burne-.

"Sister?" Celestia was shaken from her thoughts when Luna said this.

"Yes, Lulu?"

"You have your scary face on..." Whoops... Didn't think it was that easy to lose control...but then again, I would anything for Luna's sake. She silently told herself. "You're right sister... I should simply wait for when he feels ready to leave.." See? Celestia told herself. You won't have to do anything rash, just yet.

"Great, Luna. Because I don't think I could take any more of your whining." She smiled down to the younger mare.

"I wasn't being thaaat bad." Luna said to her as she glared at Celestia and giggled at the state the guards were in.

"P-lease, Lulu. You were complaining ever since the first hour ticked by. If it wasn't for the pie I threw at the guards, you wouldn't have stopped for a second." She laughed and looked over to the unlucky stallions placed to watch her.

"Ugggh. We need to get transferred before this gets any worse.." The guards pony sighed to himself.

"I don't know. If we keep getting free pie, I'm all for staying here." The other guard told him, eating the pie off his comrades muzzle with his spear.

"Stop that!!" He shouted back to him. Simply making his friend laugh instead of stop eating the pie. God damn it Flash Sentry....

"The fuck?" I said as I opened my eyes, thinking I was going to be looking at a new world, and the most gorgeous mare in the universe. But instead of a happy and bright new world that I expected; I was greeted by complete darkness. "I swear I felt Luna's signature...She was right here." I looked in all directions and saw nothing but the eternal darkness of the void that plagued my dreams and terrified me to no end. "No...nooo!" I screamed when I came to terms with the fact that I came back to this god forsaken place. The place I thought I had escaped...The place I thought was just a dream...

"Not again... I was....so close..." I cried as I huddled into a ball, sobbing quietly as I simply hovered in the never ending abyss.

Another three hours later.....

"He's not coming..." Luna said slowly, her face contorting into complete and utter sadness. She looked up to her older sibling, a stray tear falling past her eyes and streaming its way down her face as it hit the floor throwing a drop onto her hooves. "We knew it was too good to be true..." she said as she began to gallop through the doors of the throne room and back to her chambers.

"Oh. He WILL be showing sister... Don't you worry about that..." Celestia said as she got a wicked smile adorning her muzzle.

Flash Sentry looked to his companion, an eerie emotion of terror flashing its way onto their faces. They knew that smile...The smile of hate and the need to punish another for their misdeeds. She hadn't shown that face in a looooong time and he was scared to think of what she had in store for the poor human.

Luna ran to her chambers, tears streaming down her fur, giving her matted cheeks and red eyes as she entered her room. She ran towards her bed, throwing herself onto it and bawling openly. She didn't care if the others in the castle heard her; she was hurt beyond belief. "I-I-I b-bucking knew it!" She screamed as another wave of depression coursed its way through her. "H-he never r-really car-red!" She continued to cry and sob for quite some time, her mane becoming messy and losing its glow; each star slowly becoming dimmer and dimmer until none could be seen.

She felt something inside her start to break... Her heart, she thought. Never...never had she felt so close and loved by a being, not even sister made her feel the way she did around Seth. He was supposed to be hers...her one true meaning left in this world. She couldn't believe he would do this to her; he said he never wanted to see her hurt again, that he would do anything he could to make her smile...lies. All of them, lies. Every word he spoke to her was a lie. He never loved her...he never cared for her at all.

"No!" Luna screamed with a strained and dry throat. "He wouldn't do this to us...he loves us with all his heart. He wanted to give up his entire life just to be by our side..." That's when a thought busted its way into her skull. 'Maybe he's in the dreamscape. Maybe he couldn't make the travel and is waiting for you there.'

"C-could it be?" She said to herself in the lonely bedroom, tears beginning to dry as she shut her eyes tight.

She gathered and concentrated her magic as best she could in her wrecked state. Trying to imagine the ethereal plane again.

Her blue aura formed its way around her horn and she was out like a light.

A second later and she was there. She looked in all directions hoping to see his familiar face smiling at her, saying how sorry he was and apologizing for ever making her question his love for her. But he was not there. She searched every she could see; The garden, the pond, even the same spot she remembered where their first meeting was...but he was no where to be seen. Her legs wobbled and gave out as she slumped to the ground, memories of the love he confessed to her passing its way through her mind. This was too much for her to take... thoughts of hate and anger began to flash into her head. Memories of holding each other, starting to be blanked out from her memory...the hate trying to take control once more.

She looked up towards the heavens on the verge of tears, hoping the site of her beloved moon would soothe her and shake the thoughts from her head. That's when she noticed something. Something was different...Something was wrong here. Where her beautiful nights sky once twinkled with thousands of stars...there was only blackness.

She stared at the void in confusion. Something happened... Something bad. Something really, REALLY bad had happened. This only ever came to be once before; when she gave into the hate of nightmare moon and let her take control...
