Cherish Memories

I guess I never got the whole concept of ‘be careful what you wish for,’ thing, because the next thing I knew, I was sitting on a bed with six talking ponies right now. I took in some deep breaths as I tried to sum up of what had happened to me.

“Okay. Let me sum up on what is happening here. I’m in a place called ponyville, I’m surrounded by talking ponies, and I’m all healed up because you,” I stated it all up.

“Yes that’s right…so I think a thank you is needed right now,” Twilight said.

“Well…No need to be harsh about it,” I said as I rubbed my right arm, still not believing that I was healed that quickly.

“Amazing huh? My magic healed you up, although you may need to rest because it was only enough to heal the wound, but not the bleeding” Twilight said. My eyes shot wide open.

Did you just say…magic?” I asked.

“Yeah, don’t you have magic in your world?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah…we do. But…wait, I’m confused! How did I get here?” I shouted.

“That’s what we wanted to know. How did you get here, and why were you half dead when we saw you?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Well…as far as I know, I wished on a star,” I said. Twilights eyes blew up in flares.

“…You…wished…on…a…star!?” Twilight asked apprehensively.

“Yeah, I wished for a happy life. A life of peace and…nothing,” I said as I flexed my hands.

“You…made…a…wish!?” Twilight stammered.

“What’s it to you?” I asked. She looked at me and I could tell that she was concerned about something that had to do with the star I said. “What is it?” I asked.

“Oh…it’s…nothing!” Twilight said.

“So what’s your story…?” I asked

“What story?” Apple Jack asked.

“Why did you save me? Don’t I look like a freak to you?” I asked.

“Well you maybe a little…weird, but you were the one who called out for help,” Twilight said. I remembered that I did call for help and I needed it real badly.

“Well, thank you for your hospitality, but I need to be going,” I said. I removed the covers and laid my feet on the floor. The ponies protested against my act.

“No you can’t! You need to-!” Twilight was interrupted by the way I stood on my feet, even though my left leg was hurt badly.

“But…how…your leg…it was…,” Twilight was confounded as I looked at my bandages and removed them all off. As I removed the wrappings on my body, the scars and wounds on me had healed automatically and I was brand new.

“But how is that possible! We saw you were morally wounded! How the heck did you heal yourself?” Rainbow Dahs asked. I looked at my hands and saw that I had recovered fully well with them as well.

“There’s a lot of stuff you may not know about me. Now if you excuse me…I have to-GAH!” I fell on the ground in pain for some reason.  As I looked at my legs, they were still asleep form the healing process that I had to endure.

“See, you need to rest!” Twilight shouted. I placed my hands on the floor and forced myself to get up off of the ground.

“I’m…okay…grunt…just…need…huff…to…get…up…GAH!” I strained again and fell on the floor as my left hand slipped.

“Get on the bed now! Here let me help you,” Twilight said. I sighed and decided to listen to Twilight and her friends for once. After all they did save my life; I need to listen to the wished of my savers.

“…Okay, I’ll get back in the bed,” I said. I lifted up my hand and grabbed onto the bed, using it to help me balance up straight and I plopped my rear back on and lay down. At least I got a soft bed to rest in, uncles beds felt like bricks. I’m surprised that dude is still alive.

“There you go…If you need anything at all, just call for us. We’ll be available, right girls?” Twilight asked. As she turned around, the whole room was empty, leaving me with the purple unicorn named Twilight.

“Well, that’s some way to greet a guest,” I said. Twilight turned around chuckling nervously and sighed.

“Well, I’ll be here if you need anything,” She stated. I pulled the covers back over me and took in a couple of breaths.

“I think I’ll be alright,” I said. Twilight smiled and left the bedroom. Leaving me alone, I was able to calm myself down and catch a few moments to think about my situation.

“…I wonder who the hell sent me here. If it was uncle I’m going to punch that son of a-!” I was interrupted by a shimmer of light, flashing in front of the bed. I got up and stared at the light as it flew around the room, as if it was happy to see me.

“Who the hell are you?”1 I asked. The light descended on the floor and soon flash happened in the room, causing me to cover my eyes. As I removed my arm from my eyes, I saw a tall figure, a man, dressed in white and standing right in the middle of the room.

“I see you made it in…well, I wouldn’t say in one piece,” The man said as he looked at my body.

“YOU!? This is your entire fault! Why did you send me here?” I asked.

“I wanted to give you your wish, but I also wanted to test you as well,” The man said.

“Test me? Why?” I asked again.

“You lived a life of hell, but thanks to that wish of yours you summoned me and now I’m testing you,” He said. I studied the figure a bit and this man looked weird. He was dressed in white, but he had blond hair, modern day, spikey, had a bit of facial hair on his chin and face, and looked really beautiful. It took me a short time to realize who I was talking to!

“YOU CAN’T BE! YOU’RE-!” The man laughs and smiles at me in amusement.

“That is right X…I am Gabriel the archangel. I came to you after you wish and prayed for a better life. So I’m giving it to you,” He said.  I stammered and fell out of my bed in shock. Gabriel laughs again and walked up to me giving me a hand.

“But…shouldn’t you be…I thought…! HOW!?” I shouted.

“I have my ways…as long they’re all right with my King I serve,” Gabriel said as he pulled me back up.

“Why did you send me here? Of all places, why couldn’t you send me to heaven?” I asked.

“Well…I would’ve but Michael said we needed to test you in order to see if you’re fit to enter the Kingdom of God,” He said.

‘Test me? Test me for what?” I asked as he helped me back on the bed.

“You have a choice here X…You can live a life of peace with these, interesting animals, and become the bright, young, happy man I know you can be…or, you can go back to that hell hold in Tokyo, and live a life of death. Either way, it’s your choice in the end,” Gabriel said and folded his hands together. I sat up on the bed, thinking about the life I could have here. Maybe it couldn’t be that bad.

“How long is the test?” I asked.

“Oh, not long…after you thank Twilight and say your answer, then you pass,” Gabriel said.

“And if I fail?” I asked in curiosity.

“Sigh…then I’ll have no choice but the let Satan come and take you away,” He said. I flinched again and smacked my head back on the bunk of the bed. Gabriel smiled.

“Gezz…sigh…I’ll take the test, on one condition!” I said.

“And what would that be?” Gabriel; asked.

“…If I pass, I want to see Rebecca. One last time,” I said. Gabriel looked at my eyes and saw determination in them. He smiled and held out his hand.

“…Agreed,” He said. I reached out my hand and shook hands with one of the most famous angels in the Bible.

“I think you should go. I don’t want Twilight and her friends to be even more surprised if they saw another human here,” I said. Gabriel laughs again! This guy was really getting on my nerves.

“Sigh…I like you X! I’m sure you’ll pass, although Michael is uncertain. Have a good day X!” Gabriel said and flew off back into the sky, only to disappear as he entered the stars. I looked outside and saw the stars. I was amazed this place had stars out! Finally I can get some serious star gazing done, right after i got some sleep! I lay back in my bed as night was almost up. I pulled the covers back over me and fell asleep, thinking about Gabriel’s dumb test that I had accepted.
