Cherish Memories

It was the middle of the night, at least eleven in the night. I was sleeping away in my bed, thinking about many happy thoughts. My mid was focused on sheep, jumping over a fence and sinning song together.  That was the plan until someone shook me vigorously on my bed. My eyes squinted as I saw who woke me up from my dream.

“X…X are you awake?” A soft voice asked.

“Not now…five more minutes,” I said. Then the voice even got louder.

“X WAKE UP!” The voice shouted. I was about to pull the cover over until I felt a wetness fall on my face. Who was...? Was it raining and somepony got caught in the rain, or…I yawned and rubbed my eyes from the wet water that fell on my face, and as I opened my eyes I saw my best friend Twilight standing near my bed.

“X, are you awake?” She asked me. I sighed and rubbed my head.

“I am now Twilight…yawned…what’s the matter?” I asked as I got up and sat up straight on my bed.

“…I had that nightmare again,” Twilight said. My eyes shot opens I looked into her eyes and as I looked upon her face, she had eyes of red.

“I thought you recovered from that stuff,” I said as I touched her face. She nuzzled her face into my hand and felt my hand.

“I…sniff…this time…it…it was about you,” She said. I looked at her and scouted over on my bed.

“Sit down and tell me the nightmare you had,” I said. Twilight got up on my bed and sat down. As she wiped her eyes she sighed and spoke up.

“It was during the winter seasons…I was with you, just the two of us. I was happy, and my friends were also happy as well. One day, Ponyville was under attacked by beast of terrible destruction. They devoured everything in sight,” She shivered and spoke.

“What happened?” I asked again. She stuttered and started to cry again.

“You…sniff…I saw you leave us. You left me alone to die in the dark, and left all of us to die. You even said I was dead weight to you and you hated me. You…sob…you said life would be better without me, so you…sob…you smacked me in the face and beat me up so much that you wished I was never existed!” Twilight started to bawl into tears and covered up her face as she reported her terrible nightmare to me. I was shocked and my heart felt sadden at this news. I leaned in and held her closely to my chest and kissed her on the forehead.

“Twilight…I swear to God that I would never ever do that! I would never do any of those things you mentioned to me. You are everything to me Twilight, and I never told you this but…I love you,” I said. Twilight looked up and saw my face water up in tears of sadness and joy.

“You…sniff…you love…me?” Twilight asked.

“Of course I do, who wouldn’t love a fantastic pony like you! You’re smart, brilliant, and even…even…” I stuttered and as I looked into her eyes I felt kind of warm in my heart.

…Even what X?” Twilight asked. I blushed as she drew her face closer to mine. As she came closer, I spoke the words.

…You’re even more beautiful than any other pony in Equestria,” I said. The next thing I knew, my lips were drawn to hers and we kissed each other slow and long and we held onto each other, promising that we would never let each other go. As she drew away from me I could tell she was happy once more.

“Um…X, if it’s alright with you can I sleep with you in your bed?” She asked quietly. I can tell she doesn’t want to go sleep in her own bed. So I smiled and wiped a tear from her eye.

“You can Twilight. You’re always welcomed to sleep with me whenever you want,” I said. As I lay back down on my bed, she climb into the bed as well, and poked her cute little head out of the sheets.

“…Did you really mean all of those things you said to me X?” She asked. I looked at her and pecked her on the nose.

“Of course I did. I swear to you, I will not leave or forsake you. Not now not ever,” I said. As we lay there, silently on the comfortable bed, Twilight spoke up about something.

“Um…X, can I ask you something else?” Twilight ask. I turned to her and responded.

“What is it?” I asked. She clapped with her hooves and started to stutter in her speech.

“Um…whenever you sleep…I hear you talking about…uh…sigh. Who is Rebecca X?” Twilight asked again. I flinched as she mentioned that name.

“…Four years ago, my father was a captain of a naval ship. His vessel hit a mine while delivering supplies to the Allied troops in our region, my mother died of giving my birth, and the rest of my family was killed in Nagasaki. My only living family member was my older sister, Rebecca. She and I were the only ones left of our family. But one day, a group of thugs came and robbed our house, my sister was trained in the martial arts, but as they stormed our house, I remained hidden as the gang took down my sister right before my eyes. The last things she said to me before the cops arrived were simple words… ‘don’t live a life in fear, be happy and always…be…strong,” I started to shiver and cry as well due to the tension of the memories of my past. Twilight held me close to her and kissed me on the cheek.

“Oh, X…I’m so sorry. To lose all of your family is…I’m sorry,” Twilight said as she held me tight. I felt my heart sink into this warm, cozy feeling and I felt happy again.

“Twilight…Whenever I see you, I just don’t want to lose you. You are everything to me and i…i…I love you so much that I’m willing to die for you,” I announced. Twilight smiled and gave me a little kissy lick on my neck.

“I love you too X. You are everything to me as well,” She said. As we fell asleep, we held each other closely and tightly on my bed. So if anypony ever walks in and sees me sleeping while holding onto a purple alicorn, you know to leave me alone. Because if I love Twilight, and if Twilight loves me, then I don’t want to depart from her…Twilight is everything to me, and that’s that.
