Chapter I: The Truth

The Next Day…

Doctor Whooves was taking his usual morning stroll around Ponyville. He had hoped that he would run into Twilight today because he needed her help with an experiment he was doing. He eventually came up to her home and noticed the two guard ponies were gone.

He knocked on her door a couple of times to see if he could get an answer from within.

“Twilight, are you home?” he said as he knocked. No answer came from within and he got confused.

“Hmm that’s odd,” Doctor Whooves said out loud. “Could it be out of town? Possibility.”

Shrugging it off and walking along, he noticed that everypony was just going about their day normal like nothing was wrong.

“I haven’t seen Twilight for over twenty-four hours though,” Doctor Whooves thought to himself. “Maybe I should go see one of her friends?”

Whooves tried to remember one of her friends’ that he could talk to.

“That’s it!” he said out loud. “Fluttershy, I think her name was.”

He was right in front of Ponyville town hall so he could easy look around for her from his current position.

After scanning around for several minutes, he could not find her. However an orange earth pony walked right past Whooves as he was about to give up his search.

“Excuse me miss?” Whooves said walking up to her. “Might you please point me in the direction of Fluttershy?”

The orange mare perked up her head. “Sure I guess, she’s right down that forest pathway. You can’t miss her cottage.”

“Thank you!” Doctor Whooves said. “You look rather said by the way, might I ask what’s wrong?”

“Sorry mister,” Applejack said rubbing away some of the tears drying up in her eyes. “One of mah friends died and it’s just a heavy burden on myself and a couple of mah other friends. Yern know?”

Whooves felt bad. “Why I’m so sorry miss. I’m sure everything will be fine. Would you like to talk about it maybe?”

“Yern know Fluttershy, the one yern’s looking fo’?”

“Yes, is she also one of the other friends that is currently upset over this loss?” Whooves said looking really upset as well.

“Yeah, talk to her about it, I really don’t want to talk about it if that’s okay,” Applejack said as her head hung downwards.

“Okay, if you say so. But if you need to talk to somepony about anything. I don’t live too far from here. I actually live a couple of blocks down from Twilight’s house. If you need me, just come find me okay?”

“Thank you kindly Mister Whooves,” Applejack said looking up at him. “I might actually need that.”

Doctor Whooves bowed and walked off towards Fluttershy’s cottage. He didn’t know what to expect when he went to go visit Fluttershy. He had saw her walking through the park yesterday looking around weirdly, but that’s all that he had saw of her.

After walking through the tiny forest that separated her cottage and Ponyville, Whooves finally reached Fluttershy’s Cottage. He was prepared to endure whatever emotional outburst that Fluttershy was about to have when he walked in. He had handled ponies with awful attitudes pretty much all of his life, that’s why he’s considered ‘The Problem Solver’ in Ponyville.

He walked up to the door of her cottage and stopped ice cold. He really didn’t know how to approach her. She knew she was rather sensitive to things, and if she lost a loved one then she must be going through a really hard time at this moment.

Doctor Whooves ran numbers through his head on what he should do and how to approach Fluttershy. He ultimately came up with trying to be as detailed as possible to her. Try not to cut to the chase too fast, just try to be slow and steady with her.

He walked up to her cottage and knocked on the door a couple of times, there was no answer. He reached up his hoof to try and knock on the door again, but he refrained.

“Maybe she’s not in the mood to talk. I’ll try again maybe tomorrow,” Doctor Whooves thought to himself as he turned around to head back to his house. Just as he was about to walk into the forest, the door opens behind him.

Doctor Whooves walks back to see a really small bunny with a bored expression on his face. He starts to tap his paw on the floor as a rapid tempo to see what he wanted.

“Sorry to bother you, I’m here to see Fluttershy. I understand she’s having a hard time and I’m here to help her. Also to ask her a couple of question like the whereabouts of my dearest friend Twilight Sparkle,” Whooves said scratching the back of his neck.

After hearing the name Twilight Sparkle, the bunny in front of him began to break down into sobs. Whooves got worried about this and stepped back and was ready to just head back to his house.

However as soon as he turned around to head back, Fluttershy appeared in the doorway!

“H-hello?” Fluttershy said through pitiful sobs. “Who a-are you?” she could barely get out any words to him.

“Hello Fluttershy,” Doctor Whooves said feeling slightly bad. “Um, maybe this isn’t such a good time maybe I can come back tomorrow?”

Fluttershy shook her head. “No, no, it’s fine. Please, come on in.” Fluttershy gestured for Doctor Whooves to come in and make himself a home.

Doctor Whooves walked in and observed all the animals around him as they all looked sad and sorrowful. Obviously they were just as upset about whatever Fluttershy was just as much as she was.

This made Doctor Whooves much more determined to help solve this problem that Fluttershy was having. If Applejack was also having this problem then maybe if he was able to get whatever info he needed out of Fluttershy he probably would be able to solve her problem as well.

“So Fluttershy,” Doctor Whooves started off taking a seat on her couch next to the window.

“Why don’t you tell me about your problem rather than directly tell me. To make it a bit easier on you.”

“Thank you, I will,” Fluttershy said sitting on the couch to the left of him. “Well, one of my friends yesterday night. And while I hadn’t known her for very long, she was one of the best friends I could ever ask for. She was willing to help me with my shyness problem and make me get out more. I just wish I could have known her longer.”

“I see,” Whooves said getting comfortable. “Would you like to tell me some of the other ponies this is affecting besides you?”

“Well,” she took a deep breath in. “It’s affecting four other ponies besides me.”

“Isn’t a mare named Applejack one of them?” Whooves interrupted.

“Yeah her too. As well as another earth pony, Pinkie Pie is her name. A pegasus named Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy started off.

“Ah I remember seeing Rainbow Dash that one time when Derpy was murdered,” Doctor Whooves said interrupting her again.

“Yeah I know. And a unicorn named Rarity,” Fluttershy finally finished wiping away the tears from her face. “Even Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are very upset about this. In fact they think it’s all their fault.”

Doctor Whooves raised an eyebrow. “Oh really?” he said perking up his head. “Would you like to tell me who’s murdered now?”

Fluttershy took a couple of deep breaths as she tried to gather herself together for what she was about to tell him. Nopony knew about Twilight’s death besides her friends, the princesses, and Twilight’s family. But Doctor Whooves worked with Twilight so it’s only fair if he knows too.

“It was, it was…” Fluttershy wiped away another tear. “Twilight.”

Doctor Whooves almost fell off of his chair. “What?! This, this can’t be! She was such a nice pony to work with. I’m so sorry by the way but, but, what happened?”

“You best get comfortable because, this is going to take a while,” Fluttershy said cuddling her bunny.

Chapter II: Whooves' Solution

Chapter II: Whooves' Solution

“Wait, WHAT?!” Doctor Whooves said as he almost fell off the couch. After hearing the enter story about Twilight becoming a werewolf it almost made him faint from utter shock. He didn’t believe her at first, but when someone mentions that the princess are dreading from this will make Doctor Whooves believe.

“It’s, all true,” Fluttershy said continuing her sobs. Telling the story to him only made Fluttershy all the more sad being that it was a hurtful reminder that Luna had to kill her. Of course she pretty much had to but it was still painful for Fluttershy to bear all around.

Doctor Whooves got up from the couch and started to pace around the room. He believed everything that Fluttershy told him, but it was difficult for even him to bare. He had worked with Twilight closely when Derpy Hooves was mutilated in town square. She was such a good partner to work with and now that she’s gone is a burden to Doctor Whooves.

However, that’s when an idea stuck Doctor Whooves.

“Wait a second,” Doctor Whooves perked up his head and said. “THAT’S IT!” he said very enthusiastically.

Fluttershy looked up at him. “What are you talking about?”

“Didn’t you say you could communicate with Twilight’s spectre because you were one of the elements of harmony?” Doctor Whooves said feeling prouder than ever.

“Y-yes?” Fluttershy said very confused.

“Well, for the past several years I have been developing an experiment that could bring ponies that are completely dead back to life. The problem is, I could never find a power source strong enough. BUT! With the power of the elements of harmony, that could be the edge I need! Where’s Twilight’s body?” Whooves said looking at her and smiling.

“Princess Celestia had her guards take it recently. Her funeral is tomorrow I believer. However I can probably arrange a meeting for you and her if you like,” Fluttershy said wiping away the tears from her eyes.

“I would indeed like that Fluttershy, and I promise you will have your friend back,” Doctor Whooves told her. He wasn’t sure if this was going to work, but it was definitely worth a shot. Doctor Whooves had all the medicines he would need ready back at his laboratory. What he needed was a strong enough power source so he could first send neurological charges through her nervous system, and revive her heart.

“O-okay. But you have to promise me that you’ll bring her back,” Fluttershy said nervously.

Whooves gave a confident smile. “I promise Fluttershy. I can’t guarantee my experiment will work, but I can try. I’m very confident it will work. I have been developing this for years now.”

“Okay, are you ready to set out?” Fluttershy ask him as she walked towards her door.

“Yes I am Fluttershy,” Doctor Whooves said following closely behind her.

“Okay then, let’s go!” Fluttershy said smiling a little.

“Allons-y,” Whooves said walking out with her.

Both of them didn’t talk to each other at all while walking to the train stations to get a train to Canterlot. Fluttershy thought Whooves was crazy for all he was saying but she decided to give him a chance, if that meant getting her shortly known best-friend back. Whooves was running all the numbers in his head on what he was going to need to power up his device. He would need to extract all the power from the Elements of Harmony to fully power his device. This very well may render them useless, however it will bring Twilight back.

As they reached the train, not many ponies were on it, it seemed. Apparently word somehow got around about Twilight’s death and most ponies in Ponyville are sad about what has happened. Thankfully all they apparently know is that Twilight is dead, nopony knows how or why, just that she is dead.

The rain ride wasn’t too bad going up to Canterlot. Doctor Whooves was planning out what he was going to say to Princess Celestia during the train ride up. He knew she wasn’t going to follow through with his plan so it was going to take a lot of convincing to do what he needed to do. He was prepared for any argument or reason she was going to say to him. At least, he hoped.

After arriving in Ponyville, Fluttershy and Whooves rushed off the plan and towards the castle. They had no time to waste if they wanted to try to get Twilight’s body back to Whooves’ house to get revived.

Thankfully nopony stopped them on their run to get to the castle. There was also very little traffic as well. Thankfully Canterlot isn’t nearly as crowded as somewhere like Manehatten. Also no thugs got in the way as well, so Flutters and Whooves were having a good run so far.

After reaching the Castle entrance. Whooves walked up to the door, almost completely out of breath and knocked as loud as he could.

“Who goes there?” a castle guard spoke from the other side of the wall.

“Where here to see Celestia,” Fluttershy said back to the guard.

The guard open the door and saw Fluttershy and let her and Doctor Whooves in.

“Where’s Celestia?” Whooves asked anxious.

“She’s in her chambers. She’s writing her speech for Twilight’s funeral tomorrow,” the guard said looking rather sad at the thought that somepony so dear to Celestia was now gone.

“And where might that be? I don’t think neither of us have been in this castle before,” Whooves asked from behind Fluttershy. Flutters also nodded in agreement with Whooves.

“Just follow me, it’s actually not that far,” the royal guard said turning around and dashing up the stairs. There were multiple flats of stairs they had to go up to get to the Chamber of the Royal Pony Sisters. However there weren’t that many hallways thankfully.

After traveling up many flats of stairs, Fluttershy and Doctor Whooves finally made it to Celestia’s Chambers with the help of the royal guard.

“Princess Celestia? You have visitors. An Element of Harmony and accompanied by a friend,” the royal guard said knocking on the door.

“Send them both in,” Celestia said inside.

The royal guard open the door letting both Fluttershy and Whooves inside. Celestia was sitting at her desk continuing to write her speech. She was roughly half-way through it when Fluttesrhy and Doctor Whooves showed up.

“Hello Princess Celestia,” Doctor Whooves said only near feet from her.

“Oh hello, and hello Fluttershy, how may I assist you both today?” Celestia said getting up from her desk. The royal guard bowed and closed the door behind him, to give them some privacy.

“Okay Celestia, I have a proposal for you. I think I can bring Twilight back from the grave,” Doctor Whooves said cutting right to the chase.

Celestia looked at him like he was an idiot. “Go on,” Celestia said half-believing him.

“For the past several years, I have been developing a project you could say that may bring ponies back to life! I won’t go too much into detail on how it works, but I will give you the quick version. I inject multiple medicines into her body reviving her red and white blood cells, then the brain cells, as well as restoring any decaying organs. Then I manually get her blood working again via my machine, then I send multiple neural shocks that revive her brain and her heart!” Doctor Whooves said confidently.

“Wait, back up. Forgive my rudeness, but I have been around for a long time Mr. Whooves and bringing ponies back to life has never been possible. What makes you think you are the pony that you will make this kind of breakthrough?” Celestia said.

Doctor Whooves looked her right in the eye. “Because Princess Celestia, I am Doctor Whooves. I have seen stuff in my time that will never been unseen. My parents died right in front of me to protect me when I was a kid. Ever since then, I have dedicated my life to living up to my father’s dream, to becoming the best known scientist that this world has to offer.

“Throughout my life, ponies have told me to give up, stop trying, and let it go! But I never stopped, I kept going on. I kept moving forward with my inventions and never stopped at just one! I made more, more, and more! Now you’re probably thinking, this guy probably makes them up right on the stop without testing them. But you are wrong my fair princess.

“This project, the Whoovius Project, I have worked the better part of three years on. Hoof making all the medicine used in it. Getting herbs from the Everfree Forest and avoiding that creepy zebra that lives out there. And as for the machine I told you about, you don’t know what kind of pain, brain bogging, blood, and sweat I went through making it. Getting the right wires and hooking it up just right took about a year on its own. But I did it dang it, and I don’t doubt myself for a single SECOND that I did anything wrong developing this project.

“Now let me ask you one question Celestia, do you trust me?”

Celestia didn’t know how to react to Whooves’ speech. She couldn’t tell if he had planned that out in his head or made it all up right on the spot, either way, it was still impressive. She stood there for a couple of seconds and pondered her decisions, should she trust this Doctor who she couldn’t tell if he knew what he was doing or not.

“Yes, I do,” Celestia ultimately came to. “But you must not break my trust. I am trusting you to bring back somepony who I hold just as dearly to me, as my sister, and another pony who I lost some time again.” Celestia thought back on her former red and yellow student.

Whooves bowed before her. “I will not let you down my fair princess.” Whooves thought about what he was getting himself into. He basically promised the goddess of all ponies that he was going to do what most ponies thought was impossible: bring somepony back to life. He had worked on this project for too long now for it to fail, and he knew it wasn’t going to. Even if he had to put his own life on the line for this project he was going to do it. To prove, even the goddess of all ponies, that the impossible, was possible.

“Good,” Celestia said standing up. “I will have Twilight’s body sent to your home as soon as possible. Is there anything else you need Doctor?”

Whooves nodded and turned towards Fluttershy. “Fluttershy, if you would be so kind as to gather the other elements of harmony and bring them to my house that would be perfect. I want to get this underway as soon as possible.”

Fluttershy nodded. “Okay Mister Wh- sorry, Doctor Whooves.”

Doctor Whooves smiled and nodded at her. “Alrighty everypony, let’s move out!” Doctor Whooves said as he ran out of Celestia’s chambers while Fluttershy moved behind him.

Fluttershy could fly but Doctor Whooves needed to find the train that was soon departing to Ponyville. He was pondering just running back, but he was going to need all of his strength for what was going to happen next.

Author's Note

Thank you all for your patient! Can't wait for the next Chapter.

Chapter III: Back from the Dead

Doctor Whooves got off the train and started running towards his home as fast as he could. He had figured that Celestia hadn’t got the body to his house yet so he had enough time to get everything ready for what was to come.

As soon as they both got off the train, Fluttershy flew off to gather the other Elements of Harmony and bring them to Whooves’ house. He knew he was going to need all the power he could get to power this device. He knew Ponyville didn’t have much spare power, not enough to fully power his machine.

That wasn’t his main concern at the moment however, his main concern was getting back to his house as fast as he could so he could prepare everything for what was to come.

He needed to make sure that everything was in the right place, all the medicine were in the correct syringes, all of his medical equipment was where he left it. He was going down his mental checklist as he was running home. But he knew everything was ready for tonight. Of course he was going to double check everything just to make sure.

Thankfully his house wasn’t too terribly far from the train station so he made it back just in time to get started on making the final preparations. This was going to either make or break him, he could either make a ginormous breakthrough in the history of science, or make the biggest fool of himself ever. Either way, he will happily take that risk if it meant fulfilling his father’s dream.

When he entered his house he looked around to make sure nothing was out of place, thankfully it wasn’t so he carried on with his mental checklist. He walked over to a rug that he quickly through aside to uncover a trapdoor. Opening it, he proceeded down carefully to make sure he fall or worse break something.

After he was four hooves on the ground he walked to the very far end of the room past all the control panels and shiny dials.

“After so long I finally get to prove to somepony like the princess I am a true scientist,” Whooves said outloud feeling proud. “Not only that, I will bring back a pony that meant so much to many other ponies!”

“Of course I’m not doing this for only myself but for the greater good,” Doctor Whooves said reassuring himself.

He walked over to his machine and made sure everything was ready. After checking all the needles, making sure the chamber where Twilight’s body will be is ready, he was sure he was ready to go. Of course, the last thing he needed, was a power source, which is on its way.

“I think everything is ready to go for tonight, don’t you think father?” Doctor Whooves said as he walked over to his desk which wasn’t far from the machine and look at an old picture of his family.

“I will not let you down, I promise,” Whooves said as he walked towards the door that lead upstairs.

Just as he closed the door behind him, there was a knock on his door that slightly startled him. He quickly rushed over to the door and opened it. He was slightly scared to see two royal guards in front of him, but he calmed down once they started to talk to him.

“Excuse me Mr. Whooves but we are here to drop off the package to you,” one of the Royal Guards said as they both waited at the door to be let in.

Whooves knew what they were talking about. “Ah yes thank you. Please, come in!” Whooves said walking aside to let the two guards inside.

Both guards walked inside and looked for a place to drop the package. One of the guard’s horns lit up and right in front of Doctor Whooves was the body of Twilight inside a body bag.

“Thank you very much, I promise I won’t let both of you down!” Whooves said looking up and smiling.

Both of the guards bowed and walked out of his house and closed the door behind him. Whooves took the body downstairs and placed it on a medical table that wasn’t far from his machine. Before he brought the body back to life, he wanted to make sure the body was ready.

Whooves removed the body bag and placed Twilight’s body on the medical table. Her body was cold and lifeless, it send a horrible shiver down Whooves’ spine as he inspected the body.

After getting over himself, he began inspecting the body to see if anything may needed alteration. As he remembered from Fluttershy telling him, there was the stab mark on the side of her body.

“Goodness, looks even worse than I originally imagined it,” Whooves said. “But thankfully, I already had a solution to this.”

Whooves walked over to the wall right next to the doctor’s table and pressed a button that was on it. Above the medical table, two arms lowered down with what looked like a giant syringe but at the end wasn’t a needle, it was a steel ring. On the top of both of the arms were two fuses that looked like it was powering the giant device. The syringe part of the device was glowing red inside as well.

“Let’s heal that wound shall we?” Whooves walking over to the device. He reached up and grabbed it and held it close to the scar on the side of Twilight. There was a handle between the steel arms of the device which Whooves pulled backwards unleashing an ominous red mist from the steel ring at the end of the device.

Within seconds, the scar on Twilight’s side was completely gone and looked like it was fully healed.

“IT WORKS!” Whooves screamed in joy. “Well at least I completed one scientific breakthrough today.”

After finishing that, Doctor Whooves rolled the body over to his device. He opened up the chambers and placed Twilight’s body inside of it. After closing it and shutting it tight, he heard another knock on this door.

“That must be the other elements of harmony!” Whooves said as he rushed over to his door and he emerged from it and walked over to his front door.

After opening the door, he was greeted by Fluttershy and her friends, all having mixed looks on their faces.

“I think you forgot to tell us where you live Mr. er, Doctor Whooves,” Fluttershy said looking embarrassed.

Doctor Whooves felt bad for a second. “Oh I’m sorry, I must have.”

Rainbow Dash flew up and got right in his face after I said that. “You better be able to bring back Twilight! Or I swear I’ll make sure you’ll never be able to invent again!”

Doctor Whooves had a really scared look on his face after what he had just witnessed.

“Miss… Rainbow Dash,” took Doctor Whooves a second to fully remember her name. “I have put many, many years into my life into this project I’m working on. I understand how you feel right now, but posing such a threat like that makes me not want to do this.

“Do you really think I might not be able to bring back you friend? I have full confidents in myself that I can do this. However if you don’t, then you can just turn around and march right back home!”

Rainbow Dash went absolutely silent after what he had just said. “You realize you need me to help with this so called, power source?”

“Then shut up, and follow me,” Whooves said turning around and walking inside. The rest of them were all giving Rainbow Dash a stink eye as they walked into Whooves’ house.

“Seeing as all of you were wearing your special pendants makes me happy to know you all are ready. Now, over there is the entrance to my secret lab. I request all of you head down there but please file down one by one!” Whooves said walking over to his trapdoor and going down first.

As everypony filed down into his lab. They all looked in awe at all of his gadgets and gizmos.

“Please refrain from touching anything but if you feel the need to, just for a second,” Whooves said walking over to his master device.

“OOOHH, I WANNA TOUCH THIS!!” Pinkie Pie said jumping on a giant figure rocket ship Whooves had hanging from the wall. She started to swing back and forward on it.

Whooves looked at her and did a facehoof. “Please miss, we must begin this operation ASAP,” Whooves said looking over at this machine.

“Okay, so what does all of this do?” Pinkie Pie said appearing behind the machine.

Whooves looked at his then back at the figure rocket ship then back at her. “How did you? You know what, I don’t even wanna to know.”

Pinkie hopped down from his device and joined the rest of her friends as Doctor Whooves was about to give his directions.

“Now, I need a power source strong enough to power my device which will bring Twilight back. I won’t go into the science on my device, however I will say that if everything is right, which I know for fact it is, then Twilight will be reunited with us,” Whooves said looking at his machine.

“Are you for sure Mr. Whooves?” Rarity said.

Doctor Whooves turned around and look her right in the eyes. “Yes, I am sure. And it’s Doctor Whooves by the way.” Whooves said as he turned back around.

Rarity didn’t even respond to what he just said, it was slightly scary however.

“Alright, preparations are now complete! Are you all ready?” Whooves turned around and asked.

“We’re ready!” all five of them said in unison. “Alright, start it up, now!”

Applejack placed Twilight’s element in the centre of them as they all gathered around in a circle. Her element of harmony start to glow as so did the rest of them around the crown. All five of their pendants glowed to the point of blinding as all of them started to lift into the air.

“Ah, think it’s workin’!” Applejack said as she started to lift up into the air.

“This is perfect!” Doctor Whooves said as he flipped a switch right next to him. A small panel opened up in the machine revealing a tesla coil. “Fire all the energy here!”

All of their eyes glowed white as a ball of energy formed in the centre of the five ponies, they were almost ready to fire.

“Fire in 3, 2,

“1!”

…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

All around her seemed like nothingness, no ending, no beginning. After looking around, the only thing she could tell was that she wasn’t in afterlife anymore and that she might be coming back.

“What, what’s going on?” she said as she couldn’t bare her surroundings. It was, nothing. Nothing could be seen, heard, smelled, just… nothing.

“How, how do I get out?” the lavender unicorn spoke as she just started walking. Eventually, a little white dot appeared right in front of her. It grew bigger and bigger as she walked towards it.

“Twilight…” something said.

“Who’s there?” Twilight said looking around.

“Twilight…” it said again.

“Show yourself!!” Twilight said getting into a battle stance.

The dot that she previously saw got much closer to her. It formed to be about four times the size of her, and there seemed to be a picture in it.

Inside the white dot, seemed to what look like, Ponyville! However the picture seemed to close up on a certain house, that didn’t look to far from Twilight’s house at all.

“Is that, Doctor Whooves’ house?!” Twilight said looking surprised. For a split second, the picture changed to a scene inside Whooves’ house, with all of her friends about to fire that load of energy right into the device that was going to bring her back.

“Is that, me? Where, where am I anyway?” Twilight said looking at her dead body inside that machine.

“It’s time, to return, to the over world,” ‘it’ said again.

“I, get to go back?” Twilight said with happiness, and for once tears in her eyes.

“Yes.”

Twilight had no words to say to whatever was talking to her. But she did have one final question to ask it.

“Just tell me, where am I?”

“…Your spirit, isn’t totally gone from the over world…” with that said, Twilight was sucked into the dot that was displaying the picture of Whooves’ house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The burst of energy hit the machine’s tesla coil spot on. The machine’s power started to skyrocket to the point of being one-hundred percent within a matter of seconds.

Doctor Whooves very happy pressed a button on his machine that activated his creations.

The machine came to life as all the needles inside stuck themselves inside Twilight and started to pump the medicine inside of her. All throughout the chambers, electrical shocks when through the chamber and inside of Twilight, to hopefully reviver her heart.

This went on for several seconds as it finally ceased. The five ponies were sitting on the ground exhausted as can be waiting for the result of what will happen. Doctor Whooves looked inside to see if anything looked out of the ordinary, nothing did.

He then opened the chamber doors to let fresh air inside. Everypony was silent, so silent you could hear each other’s heartbeat.

“Mmmm,” something said.

They looked around at each other and shook their heads. Then they heard it again.

“Mmmmm,” it was louder.

Doctor Whooves peaked inside the chamber one more time. He looked at Twilight right in the eyes, as they started to slowly, but surely, open.

Epilogue

“Mmm, am I,” Twilight moaned as she almost completely opened her eyes.

Doctor Whooves stood there breathless, speechless, he didn’t know how to react to what was going on. In one day, he just healed and brought a good friend of his back to life.

“Doctor, Whooves?” Twilight said lifting her head and looking at him right in the eyes.

“Is she, alive?” Applejack said.

“Ughhh,” Twilight said letting her head fall back down.

“Twilight, say something,” Doctor Whooves said not really knowing how to react to what was currently going on.

“S-something,” Twilight said feeling tired at this point.

“Are you alive?” Doctor Whooves asked.

“Well I’m, uh, talking right now,” Twilight was still trying to gather herself together so she couldn’t talk that well.

All of the ponies behind Doctor Whooves began to rise and wonder what was going on. They didn’t celebrate yet because they need to see what Twilight would respond when she saw them.

“Would you like to see you friends Twilight?” Doctor Whooves said looking behind him at all of them.

“My, friends are here?” Twilight started to raise her head again. “Where, where are they?”

Whooves smiled and moved out of the way so her friends could scoot in. All of them gathered around Twilight inside the now open chamber. Twilight looked at each of them in the eye and smiled.

“Hi girls,” Twilight said. “I missed you all.”

All five of them had tears in their eyes. Their best friend was finally back from the dead, they could talk to her again. Fluttershy broke away from the group and walked over to Doctor Whooves who was just standing by himself away from everypony.

“Today Doctor Whooves you did something great. Not just for me, nor my friends, but the community in general. Not only that, you proved the impossible, was possible. For that, we are forever in your debt,” Fluttershy said smiling.

Doctor Whooves raised a hoof at her. “No need to repay me. Consider this as an act of friendship. And you are very much welcome.” Doctor Whooves rarely got thanked for his actions if ever. So it was nice for once being thanked.

All of the other ponies didn’t notice Fluttershy break away to thank Doctor Whooves. Normally they would have piledrived Twilight and started to hug her to death, but they knew she wasn’t at her full energy capacity right now so they just left her alone.

“Will she be okay?” Fluttershy asked.

“Oh yeah she’ll be okay. She’s just getting her energy back at the moment,” Whooves said looking at the open chamber with four ponies gathered around it.

“How ya feelin’ Twiligh’?” Applejack asked.

“Yes indeed, how are you holding up?” Rarity also asked.

“I’m, feeling good, thanks,” Twilight said smiling at them. “But I really need a nap.”

“Would you like us to carry you to your treehouse Twilight?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“That would be nice yes,” Twilight replied smiling. “But I need to tell Doctor Whooves something after you get me out of here.”

Applejack and Rarity carefully lifted Twilight out of the machine that brought her back to life.

“Say Doctor Whooves you wouldn’t happen to have wheelchair would ya?” Applejack asked again.

“Yes I do upstairs,” Whooves walked over to his trapdoor and went upstairs. The rest of the gang soon followed and Doctor Whooves grabbed a wheelchair out of his living room and gave it to Applejack.

Her along with Rarity propped Twilight on it and prepared to leave his house, however they all had one thing to say.

Doctor Whooves held the door open as Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, all hugged him and said thanks on their way out. Applejack was the last because she was pushing Twilight out of the door.

Twilight looked up at Whooves and smiled.

“Thank you Doctor Whooves, thank you so much,” Twilight said looking like she was going to pass out.

“You are certainly welcome Twilight,” Doctor Whooves said smiling back. “If you ever need anything, just let me know.”

Twilight nodded as Applejack now stepped up. “You’re a hero Doctor Whooves, you’re a real hero.”

That made Doctor Whooves’ day right there. He had done quite a bit of good deeds without being thanked before but never has he been called a hero before.

Both of them walked out while Doctor Whooves closed and locked the door behind him.

“You did well today Whooves, you did well today,” Doctor Whooves told himself.
