What happened is here must watch

Today, we honor the fallen element of loyalty, Rainbow "Danger" Dash. She died from heart failure, right after waking up from her coma. she will be missed. D.o.D. Date of  Death: February 8th, 2014

She opened here eyes for a second, smiled at Joey, and said, "Good job featherbrain, you faced your fears." Her eyes closed and I heard the monitor flatline.

"F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Joey screamed to the heavens like they had forsaken him.

And now we return to our story. (This episode/chapter revolves around Doc Legend)

'It was my fault. I left a patient unattended for a mere second, and they died.' I remember it like it was yesterday. The man's name was Jimmy McCormic. Irish drunk died of kidney failure. The news said everything. "Drunken Degenerate Destroyed by Desperate Doc"

He was practically the nicest guy you'd ever meet. If you spilled something on him, he'd shrug it off, if you forget to tip, he'd go back and pay it back double, if you cat was stuck in a tree he'd scale up the tree no matter how tall it as. And. I. Let. Him. Die.

"DOC use the defibrillator! SAVE HER DOC WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Joey was losing his s*! "Don't you quit on me god-mother**king dammit! YOU ARE A HERO! YOU CANT DIE! SOMEONE GET DISCORD TO DO A MAGIC THINGY OR SOME GODDAM S*!T! YOU CAN'T DIE! HEROES DON'T DIE!" I could tell something happened between him and her while Joey was in that coma.

"CLEAR!" I zap and get nothing.

"CLEAR!" nothing.

"CLEAR!" nothing again. At this point Joey punches a wall, bloodying his already messed up hand

"THIS WILL NOT BE A REPEEAT OF JIMMY! CLEAR GOD DAMMIT!" nothing. I try 5 more times to see if she would somehow spring to life. Joey had clearly lost his mind. I had to knock him out so he would calm down. " WAKE UP DAM YOU!" I try CPR but it doesn't work.

"Well, she flew to heaven, or whatever place good people go to. Now what are we gonna do? How is this place going to stay safe? WHAT ARE WE GONNA TELL EVEYONE?" I sadly ask. No response. Still in shock after the initial death. Rarity's maskera as running as she was crying. Fluttershy just hugged Twilight, Pinkie ran out of the room, Applejack just stood there, dumbstruck, and began to tear up.  "By the f***ing way, WHERE IS THE DOCTOR?!?!" <--totally not having a vendetta against time lords. That was the comic relief for this chapter. It was horrible.

All at once I remember all my failures, every person I had killed, every operation gone wrong, everything I screwed up, every time I should have done something different. I try to run out of the room, but run into a wall instead and get knocked out. No good can come of this. Well, it's official. It hasn't even been 2 months and we ruined a happy utopian society. Instead of death and sadness, what I had seen was proof of "If there's a will, there's a way" I knew what had to be done.

****

3 weeks have transpired, Doc went searching for  an obscure artifact, fabled to be able to bring back fallen friends to life, depending on if you really care for that person. Joey lost the case, but compelling evidence showing that he did care for the ponies of the town led to him being sentenced to live with Vinyl Scratch. He was not allowed to bring earplugs. Everypony was sad, as today the Wonderbolts would be performing their greatest show in the rain. At Rainbow's funeral. Joey was too hysterical and was thinking too many depressing things, and I did not want to be sued for causing people to kill themselves, so either I had to write someone somepony in, or tell the tale from another viewpoint. So I, the writer will tell you what everyone is thinking and saying and doing.

This is truly sad funeral music, Play at own risk

Joey is crying in the back row, everyone felt sorry for him. 'They were kind of perfect for each other, even though they had an awkward relationship. They are basically the same person but in different forms.' Twilight thought.

The hearse had arrived, and the casket was closed. they got it in position to be lowered there was not a dry eye in the house. Applebloom said, "But Applejack, you said she was gonna be alright."

"We all thought she was... but... she..." for the first time in her life, Applejack didn't know what to say, she thought up something quick, "sometimes you can do everything right... and it's still not alright... in the end... all we do is the best we can... nothing more... and for this? Nothing less..."

Twilight thought, 'What lesson is there to be learned from this!'

As the casket was buried, everyone was still crying.

*****

I have skipped ahead to when joey is sane enough to talk and think (semi)normally

"She was taken too soon." I reply to Twilight. "Don't you have, like, an immortality amulet or a... I don't know something to bring back the dead, preferably in a way so that they aren't zombies?" I asked her.

"There are rumors about something like that, but your friend left to find that months ago.  He left right before the funeral, cheeky bustard." Twilight informed me.

"We all grieve in different ways, when I died that one time, he went on an epic quest to get something to save me. Sure he was lost for two years before he got back but I healed up quite nicely. I have never seen him cry you know? By the way how are the girls?" I asked, trying to keep my mind of Rainbow.

"Applejack's working nonstop, Fluttershy adopted a filly, Rarity's business has made a killing in tuxedos, Pinkie threw a mega jam blast, and her hair is back to normal, so things are kinda bad, but hey..... at least no one else died." Twilight was about to go on but was stopped by a knock the door.

"DOC!" I screamed and opened the door, nearly tearing it off it's hinges to find  our local mailma- mailmar- AUGH WHOEV Derpy Hooves with a letter.

"Dis is for U Joey!" she means well, but isn't exactly the brightest. She is kinda cute in a....... well she certainly is one of a kind.

"Thanks! What the- I WAS SUPPOSED  TO GET THIS A MONTH AGO!" This was followed by:

"I'm sorreh, i jus don't know what went wrong!"

"Awww,  i could never say mad at you. Stay adorable Derpy!" Did I say that out loud?

"OKEH!" She replied and flew away to deliver more late letters.

"You like her don't you?" replied a very smug Twilight.

"SHUDDAP! Oh dear, she may be rubbing off on me." I informed her. "OH IT'S FROM DOC! IT SAYS, 'Meet me at the forest 1 month from now on the 28' WE GOTTA GO NOW TWILIGHT THAT'S TOMMORROW!" I yelled at her.

"But the forest is just a short walk from here."

***** The 28 of the current month they are in. (I'm bad at remembering dates so I'm specific and I don't want any continuity error)

"DOC WE'RE HERE!" Me and Twilight Twilight and I both yelled out in unison.

"Good, it's a bit away, follow me." and so we followed him to a weird shed that had a red glow on the inside.

"Hey, isn't that Flut-" I interrupted her with a b***hslap to the mouth.

"WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THAT MADEME! IT IS FORBIDDEN IN THIS REALM!" Jesus Christ I swear to god that was so bad a joke it could give someone cancer!

Little did we know that the creepy shed would turn out to be....
