Twilight kills herself a lot

So what I didn't notice is I plowed right into Rarity since apparently the big red x Twi marked out in the grass wasn't obvious enough and she was standing almost right in the middle of it. I can't believe I missed the center. AJ was a little confused about that x, but Twi had to see her die in pony just in case. AJ and Rarity were both super mad at me so they each had to kill me first before Twilight explained her findings. I guess knowing you can't hurt or permanently kill your friends changes things. At least I sure hope that was what they were thinking. I think Rarity was thinking that way, but I'm a little less sure about AJ.

I don't know if Pinkie planned it, but her hug caused Twi to stop explaining so we all hugged her and it turned into a pony pile, and thankfully she finally stopped. I mean Twi could always talk a lot, but I think we were literally on the verge of testing if you really could die from boredom. I wasn't even sure it was the same day anymore. She had this huge smile on her face.

"You're not leaving. This is all real. I proved it. There's no…" she yawned "No denying it. I feel so happy. So, relaxed. Like for the first time in a…" she yawned again. "Long time, I don't need to…"

And then Twilight started to snore. Pinkie giggled. I laughed. I was right. I may have actually been a little stupid about how this would really work, but who cares.

"I was right. So totally right."

"Dashie, you might wake her."

"Actually I don't think so." Said Fluttershy "She looked very tired."

"Duh, she hasn't slept in like months."

"What?" everypony else yelled.

We all then looked at Twi but she didn't react at all. I then tried to get out of her grip, but I wasn't going anywhere. Everypony else tried to move but also seemed stuck. Well Pinkie didn't try, but she was probably stuck too. Then I realized she didn't seem to be holding on to me or anything, we were just stuck.

"Oh, I guess that spell is still working. I guess it's like stuck to my soul or whatever just like the pain spell."

"Spell? So that's why I couldn't break free. Though ah swear ah broke your legs."

"Probably did. Didn't feel it though. I guess you figured it really would be better to fall than hit the ground in a rainboom, huh."

"Ah can't really say if ah was right or not, but it sure weren't good."

"Oh come on this totally worked out great."

"Ah admit this ain't so bad, but she ain't gonna suddenly be magically better than when she wakes up."

"Actually darling, she just might. I knew she wasn't sleeping much, but had no idea it was that bad. No idea it even could be that bad."

"Yea, I mean I tried that once, but no matter how much sugar I had eventually my eyes went all droopy and I went sleepy by."

"Yea well alicorns are different, to like a dumb degree. So it might not be like perfect or anything but maybe she can get better. Even if the chaos magic spell is still messing with her still she might be able to get rid of it once she's less tired."

"She can?" asked Fluttershy

"Well, maybe. At least figure out how to get rid of it. I mean…" I yawned "Oh right, I need to report in anyway. Night all, or morning. I think that's the morning sun."

"Ah reckon so, but dash you can't just…"

I think AJ kept talking but I am super fast at just about everything, including falling asleep so I didn't hear whatever else she said. I was in a dream with Luna super quick and she was smiling broadly. She also had a tick in one eye that reminded me of Twi a little. Twilight was also standing right in front of her and we seemed to be in some huge library with nothing but giant bookshelves as far as the eye could see.

"And then they ate the pigs. Isn't that nice?"

"We are fairly certain rocks can't do that. We believe we shall cut this short here."

"Huh?"

Twilight titled her head and suddenly we were in Cloudsdale. It looked wrong though. It took me a second to realize what it was, but then I had it. It all looked like the old buildings, except no one seemed to notice.

"Oh, this is your dream and it's all old, right?"

Luna nodded. "So, clearly things have gone relatively well."

"Relatively? Things have gone awesome. Well I think they have, Twi was making no sense just now if that was really her and…"

"She is simply too out of it to have coherent dreams. They are pleasant enough."

"Well then yea, it's great. I mean she's asleep, and you had me try just about everything to manage that, but something finally did. On top of that we're all immortal so at least what started this mess is no longer an issue."

"That is fairly good yes, but you do realize you essentially got killed twice by your friends in the middle of town, correct. With various ponies who didn't have any clue what was going on."

"Oh, well. Still, I mean compared to yesterday, much better."

"Yesterday? Are you aware that you haven't checked in for three days?"

I blinked "Wow, I mean I know it seemed to go on forever, but seriously, three days?"

"Yes, Pinkie actually joined you in sleep shortly, and the rest of your friends one by one not long after, Applejack being last."

"Uh, by the way, I've been thinking. Am I crazy? I mean I don't think AJ's right but she sure thinks she is and…"

"Immortality can change what is and is not reasonable. You are not entirely sane by some standards, but you are clear on what is and isn't real, merely have had your view of what is disturbing and not shifted."

"So, like just a little crazy? Right?"

"It is something to deal with as Twilight recovers."

"Do you even need me to report to you?"

"It has been far more helpful than I believed actually. Sister was right that sometimes a proper report can help, even if they seem less skilled at understanding. Also we generally don't scry on you if we can help it, but…"

"Three days is a while and you were worried, so you did."

Luna nodded "Is there anything you have to add?"

"Sorta. Really it's just Twi cast this stickiness spell and I figure she might be out of it for a while so if you could remove it before we wake up that would be great."

"We aren't sure we can if it is truly Twilight's work, but I can at least look at it. Most likely it is only to last for but a few days at most."

"Okay. I guess that's it then."

"Indeed. Dream now Rainbow Dash. You have confirmed all we truly needed."

And then all my friends were around me. It didn't make sense all of them had wings, but whatever. It's a dream. Then we went flying.
