The Darkness Lives

And then he woke up. "Oh thank you sweet baby jesus it was a dream! A nightmare really..." He looks up and sees the girls looking at him with concern. "Someone remind me what happened?"

"Well, we all went to sleep, you woke us up with your yelling, you started turning into to some demonic creature, Rainbow kissed you, you hit the ground with a large thud and went to sleep." Pinkie answers

"That is much better than what I thought happened."

"Why? What did you think happened?"

"Nothing! Not important. What time is it?"

"I'd say around six or seven in the morning." AJ chimes. Rainbow was red eyed, along with Chrysalis.

"Whats wrong with you two?" Rainbow takes a breath before answering,

"I thought you were dead."

"I already told you, the Darkness won't let me die, I've tried before."

"I never want to see you have to go through pain like that again." Chrysalis says sadly

"I've been through much worse, I've been shot more than nine thousand times, bullets hurt...a lot."

"I'd wouldn't know." She laughs. "But still, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if it happened again and I still couldn't help."

"Don't be getting soft on me now." Jackie mocks. He really wanted to jump of a cliff after what Chrysalis did next, she kissed him. "What is it with ponies and kissing me? Am I that irresistible?" Chrysalis looks away in shame.

"I-I-I don't know why I did that..."

"Calm down, it's alright." He would never admit it, ever, but he liked it.

"You're not mad?"

"Of course not. You think you're the first person to throw themselves onto me?" He looked at Rainbow. "Anyways, let's start towards Morphious so Chrysalis can get her business done, then we move on to Gem Fido." Jackie gets his wings out and picks up AJ, Pinkie, and Fluttershy. They flew in silence until they reached the Equestria/Morphious border.

"Ummm, what are you doing?" Fluttershy asked herself. While Jackie and the rest of them were doing paperwork, she went to the restroom. "It's obvious, why would he want to be with a weakling like you when he could be with Rainbow dash or Queen Chrysalis, people who can handle themselves in a fight." She was beating herself up over her feelings towards Jackie, "And why would you want to be with a monster like him? Oh yeah..." She thought of what Chrysalis had told her about Jackie being really nice under his tough shell. "Whatever, just forget it." She walked back to where the rest of the gang waited.

"Have fun?" Jackie asked. Fluttershy just turned a shade of red and climbed back onto Jackie's shoulder. They took off and made it to Yuigyfe at sun down. "You all should go ahead and go to sleep, I'll stand watch."

"You just need an excuse not to go to bed don't you?"

"Exactly, can't risk waking up a demonic fuckhead." They all get comfortable when Fluttershy walks up to Jackie.

"Oh, uh, hey."

"Whats up, Fluttershy?"

"N-nothing, I shouldn't have come over here..."

"And why is that?"

"I just wanted to talk, but I see that your busy so I'll just go now."

"No no, you can stay. You know, when I watched your show with my niece, you were my favorite." She turned a deep red.

"R-really? That's sweet of you to say."

"Yeah, you made me think of Jenny, kind and gently, but assertive and strong when needed."

"When I first saw you, I thought you would be mean, but you're really nice."

"Huh, I tend to have that effect on people. Well, what is your opinion on working with Chrysalis?"

"She was really mean at Shining armor's wedding, but if you trust her, I can."

"She's not as bad as you think, she had a good reason. While she was in her civil war, she needed the love to make her changelings stronger so they could fight her brother's army."

"Oh! I had no idea."

"No one did. Well, it would be best for you to go to bed, can't have a sleepy Fluttershy if things go crazy, no matter how cute it would be....I have no idea why I said that."

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Nope, can't risk having to fight Sadism again."

"I can stay up with you, if that's alright with you I mean."

"if you're sure you can handle-*THUD*-aanndd she's asleep." Jackie sighs. 'She really is adorable when she sleeps' Jackie takes his jacket off and wraps Fluttershy in it. 'It's going to be a long night...'
