It's Time to Die

The fire licked at Rainbow's arms and legs as she awaited her imminent death. She could hear Vincent screaming something but knew she didn't care. She was going home. She suddenly felt a hand grasp her's and saw Jeremy start pulling her out of the fire. Vincent wrapped his arms around Jeremy's shoulders and threw him against the wall. Jeremy kicked against the wall causing himself and Vincent to fall into a nearby room. The flames soon engulfed Rainbow's face and she was soon in darkness. The light was fading in the distance and now she was in the same dark tunnel again. At the end was the light from before and this time nothing would stop her from dying.

The light shined down upon the open fields of Heaven. Angels of all kinds flew around the, seemingly, never ending land. Rainbow needed to find the others and apologize to them. She had no idea how she would explain it but she was going to anyways. The buildings were made of the brightest woods and metals Rainbow had ever seen. She looked the exact same as the day she died. A prisoners uniform and long, rainbow hair that was never cut or combed. She was about to give up, because there was no sign of them at all. Rainbow wanted to apologize to them, for them to forgive her, and for them to embrace in a warm group hug. Then she saw one of them, it was Twilight, she still had the skirt with the stars on it and her hair was still black with purple and pink highlights. She was talking with an old man with crazy hair and a very well cut moustache. He wore a suit and tie and held a set of books in one hand. Rainbow started to approach her when the man pointed her out and Twilight turned around. Her eyes went wide with either fear or surprise at the sight of Rainbow and then Twilight's eyes began to water. Twilight ran up to Rainbow giving her a hug. Twilight's tears rolled down Rainbow's back as she cried in long sobs. The man had walked away leaving Rainbow and Twilight alone. It took Twilight some time before she calmed herself down.

"I'm so sorry Rainbow I wish I had known before. None of this would have happened. We'd all still be alive and in our fifties," Twilight said. Her face was filled with so much remorse.

"No Twilight it's my fault you're dead. I wasn't being myself back then. I saw the error of my ways fourteen years to late."

"Rainbow we thought we would never see you again. We thought you'd be stuck in an endless killing spree."

"Please, don't bring that up."

"Well the good news is we all forgive you, even Scootaloo."

"I missed you guys and i'd love to catch up but i'm in a hurry to get back to the tunnel. A friend of mine will be coming though, I hope."

"That's okay i'll just tell them where you are so they can come and talk to you."

"Thanks Twilight," Rainbow said as she turned around.

"No problem Rainbow." Rainbow walked back towards the tunnel to see if Vincent was going to be there. It felt weird waiting fo someone she barely knew.

It felt like hours had passed and Rainbow had started to lose hope. He wasn't coming apparently.

"Hello," a voice said from behind her. It was male and young and she felt like she knew it. Rainbow turned around to see Sound Board approaching her. His face smiling with a smile of happiness and confusion.

"Sound Board? Oh my god i'm sorry I didn't notice you there."

"I was wondering when you were dying. You must have been about sixty years old or something."

"No actually I was dead for about twenty minutes or something. When I found out I wasn't dead, 2 years had passed."

"Wow. Gilda and I were found about a year before you said you found out you weren't dead. They destroyed the suits and cremated us," Sound Board said as he sat down next to Rainbow," so what you looking at?"

"I was waiting for someone but it doesn't look like they made it."

"Well that sucks to be them. But, hey you have us."

"Yeah I guess you're right." Sound Board and Rainbow got up and started to walk away when they heard a grunt. They both turned around and saw a man. His face was a dark color and his hair was plastered against his forehead with a ponytail in the back. His eyes were a violet color and his mouth was surrounded with small stuble. He wore a purple tie and jacket. His jeans were a deep blue and his shoes were purple. He just seemed to love purple.

"Hello. I'm looking for a woman by the name of Rainbow Dash. Have you se-" Rainbow cut him off with a large hug. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her as well. No sooner was she about to let go when he kissed her, right on the cheek. Rainbow tried to relax a bit and looked at him with the best stern look she could give him.

"Okay maybe when we aren't already dead."

"Come on. I helped you die and now I get your love in return. That's how it works isn't it?"

"Well maybe once I begin to warm up to you."

"Oh so you're going to play hard to get?"

"Yes."

"Fine by me."

"Wait, no. You aren't supposed to be all okay with that. You're supposed to try harder to try and make me fall in love with you," Rainbow said with agitation before realizing what had just happened. Love was a whole new concept to her. Especially since she hadn't loved in 14 years.

"Well according to what you just said you do love me."

"Okay fine maybe I love you. But I don't love you that much."

"That isn't what your heart rate is saying."

"Okay fine I love you with a strong passion. Now shut up and let go of my ass."

"Knew it. I knew you loved me. And why can't I keep you in my hands just a bit longer."

"Cause a friend of mine is watching." Vincent instantly let go and looked behind Rainbow at Sound Board. Sound Board's whole face had gone red and he was trying his best to keep his hormones under control.

"Hey Sound Board don't go thinking about it," Rainbow yelled at him.

"Already did. Sorry but it just popped into my head."

"Oh you little. You're lucky you're already dead or i'd kill you." Sound Board chuckled and ran off expecting Rainbow to chase him. She ran down the street after him while Vincent walked down looking around at the buildings and other things.

"Woah that was a surprise wasn't it?" Twilight asked Scootaloo who was staring at Rainbow and Vincent. They were standing in front of Twilight and Scootaloo. Her heart was racing in fear of them rejecting Vincent. At the same time Vincent was touching her butt again.

"So basically, according to my research zis is merely another life. Ve are not angels but people in phase two of life. The "angels" that fly over head are merely phase three. As you can see none of us have vings meaning ve aren't angels and may never be. Due to the fact no one ages God chooses the ones who have committed little sins to become an angel or return to Earth to start another life," Albert Einstein explained.

"Thank you Mr. Einstein for that wonderful thought, and it may be true."

"Thank you for listening Ms. Sparkle," Albert Einstein said as he bowed. He then picked up his books and walked away. There was a long pause before Scootaloo spoke up.

"So basically you love Vincent?"

"Yes Scootaloo. I do love Vincent and that's how it is going to stay," Rainbow replied.

"So this is Scootaloo then," asked Vincent." Wow you must have been related intsead of you adopting her, cause I can see resemblance." Suddenly Rainbow could feel her body falling forward as two arms wrapped around her. She hit the ground and heard giggling as the person who hugged her got off of her back. Rainbow got up and turned around to see Pinkie with a huge smile on her face. Her hair seemed a brighter pink and a bit fluffier than before. Rainbow's mind clicked after a few seconds of confusion and she smiled back.

"Hiya Dashie long time no see. I heard you were back from the living," Pinkie said," so I decided to drop by and see you again."

"Well that's really nice of you Pinkie. Do you wanna sit down? Cause we were just talking to each other. And I wanted to catch up on things."

"Sorry Dashie. I won't be up here much longer. God assigned me as a guardian angel," Pinkie said as she made a wing flapping motion with her hands.

"Congratulations Pinkie," Twilight said.

"Yeah congrats. Well it was nice seeing you anyways," Rainbow said as Pinkie ran off.

"How many others aren't up here," Rainbow asked.

"Well Rarity is a tailor for the clothes up here, Applejack is somewhere around here, and Fluttershy sits around and doesn't do much."

"Well i'm gonna go see if I can find them," Rainbow said as she tuned around. From one of the nearby streets a female with purple hair, white shirt, and deep purple skirt approached.

"Hello darling," Rarity said as she sat down across from Twilight," I, just like every single one of your friends, heard you were dead and had finally come to the afterlife."

"Well where are the others," Rainbow asked.

"Most likely on their way. This place is large you know," Rarity said. There came the sound of yelling as Applejack flew backwards out of a crowd in an alleyway. From the crowd emerged another female, it was Gilda. She looked pissed, and Applejack did as well. Applejack landed mere feat away from a rock and slid the rest of the way. Gilda was quickly approaching and didn't look like she was going to stop. Rainbow reacted, almost instantaneously. Her hands were a flash as she reached tor the knife she didn't have. But this didn't stop her from reaching for it anyway. Her eyes became a deep black with white dots as she slowly approached Gilda. Gilda noticed Rainbow approaching and she stopped in her tracks.

"Hey Rainbow Dash welcome to the afterlife," Gilda said," I didn't know you were here."

"Rainbow stop," Twilight yelled as she jumped out of her seat. She started running after Rainbow as Vincent jumped on his seat and then over the table.

"Rainbow you okay," Gilda asked getting a bit uncomfortable a Rainbow advanced towards her.

"Rainbow stop," Vincent yelled as he ran straight past Twilight. In a few seconds Rainbow would have been right on Gilda, but Vincent caught up to Rainbow and tackled her. Rainbow started screaming and struggling against Vincent. Vincent did the best he could to hold her down while Twilight grabbed a cloth from Rarity's bag. Applejack tried to help as well as she held down Rainbow's head as the cloth was wrapped around her mouth. Rainbow was soon calm again. Her eyes were still pitch black but they showed signs of violet eyes instead of white dots for pupils. They had her held down while Twilight had gotten a wheelchair to tie her onto. This was to ensure she didn't try to attack Gilda who sat nearby.

"Well that was some sure way to make her presence known," Applejack said.

"What was with that? She's not a killer anymore, and she isn't the puppet," Scootaloo said as she looked over at Rainbow.

"Perhaps it has something to do with her attachment with the puppet," Twilight suggested.

"Most likely. As you can tell by her eyes," Vincent said.

"Yeah Pinkie told us about those. But why is she like that," Twilight asked.

"An instinct perhaps or side effects from years of the same thing. We may never know."

"Well I want to hear how she died to find out if that may have lead to this. Please tell us everything you know."

"I will but you have to promise me something. Don't let her know what you know. Do you undertand?"

"Why," Scootaloo asked.

"Because we don't know what might happen if we do," Vincent said as he closed his eyes. Then he began to tell the story of their nights at Fazbear's Fright.
