Part 2 of the season finale and it will go onto a SR3

A Ryde To Regret or A New Future

Last time Ryder and Sonata were on their way to work, Sonata was complaining about being sick but didn't want to stay at home yet had to cut her day short after hearing about Ryder's challenge to Rainbow Dash to change her teaching schedule with a game of kickball. Ryder ends up getting hit square in the face and hitting his heads against a metal pole because Scootaloo kicked a soccer ball and it caused said chain reaction. Sonata had to take Scootaloo back to Sonata's old home and on the way Sonata meets Princess Luna of Equestria who sensed her dream in her time there. After hinting at something Sonata goes home and finds out she's pregnant once again and eats only to pass out yet again this time getting more hints about possible things from a dream she had a while ago. Now Sonata is staring at Ryder in shock after he said he doesn't recognize her after waking up from being knocked out. Gilda was brought to the hospital he was at because of a low blood sugar. Sonata backed up to the door shocked. "...Y-you don't recognize me...?" She asked.

Ryder shook his head. "Nope. Not one bit." He said taking a sip of his soda.

Sonata started to tear up. Just before the nurse could hug and console her she ran off out the door and down the hall breaking down. She noticed a group of familiar people in the hall as she ran towards them. In the hall she saw her father, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. Her father was dressed in his uniform, Dash in jeans and a wonder colts tee shirt and Scootaloo was wearing an orange hoodie with little wings on the back and a pair of jeans. Dash was even holding a balloon reading 'Get Well Soon' and a bottle of Ryder's favorite soda. She quickly hugged her father who looked surprised she was there. "Sonata? The hell you doing here girl? Where's Gilda?" He asked. Sonata didn't answer and just cried into his shoulder. "What's wrong baby girl...? You see one of your friends here or something...?"

Dash gave the soda and balloon to her cousin and pried Sonata away from her father. "I got her you just take the squirt to see her brother." She said. Officer Dusk nodded and walked on taking Scootaloo's hand. Dash looked Sonata in her teary eyes and wiped away her tears. "Come on Sonata.... Take a few deep breaths and calm down... Just talk with me... Is Pinkie here puking her guts out or is Applejack in here with a busted leg?"

Sonata took a deep breath. "...I-it's Ryder.... he.... he doesn't remember me..." She said hugging her friend. "...He woke up... and... just... he didn't know who I was... like... he and I never dated... like... he and I never had a baby..." Dash sighed.

"...Hey I already know he put another one in you... Scoot told me... If you ask me I think he's just screwing around. I think he's in there right now wanting you to get your ass back there." Sonata brought her head off her friends shoulder.

"...He isn't screwing around... I had to bring Gilda here because she collapsed at my place... I almost didn't make it and... You can even go in there and ask Gilda and know he isn't screwing around... I'm not going back in there to get hurt again!" Dash sighed.

"Alright I wont make you go inside... If Ryder doesn't remember you he isn't gonna remember your father and might feel a bit uncomfortable around him... I'll have your dad get you out of here once we see how he's doing... hopefully he can at least remember me and Scoot... Wanna just sit outside the room? I can promise you we'll be quick!" Sonata just sniffled and nodded hesitantly as she took Dash's hand. They walked back to the room and Dash sat Sonata right outside the room just out of sight of Ryder. She hugged her legs as Dash went inside. Just as Officer Dusk came out she gave a sigh.

"...Is it really that bad daddy...? Does he have amnesia...?"

Officer Dusk sighed. "Yep... I'm afraid so... Nurse told me he's good to come home today but he might have to stay up the whole night..." He said.

Just then Ryder called out. "Who the hell are you and why are you trying to hold my sister?!" He snapped. Sonata got up and looked in the door only to see Dash against the wall looking a bit shocked. Scootaloo was next to Ryder's bed held by one arm. "You seriously don't have any reason to put your hands on my little sister! Why are you even here anyways?!"

Dash stammered a bit trying to think of something to say. Gilda spoke up. "She's here for me dweeb! Cool it with the guests!" She snapped. "That girl that ran out crying was the one who called to get you here and the girl there is your cousin!" Ryder looked to Gilda as Scootaloo pulled away.

"Cousin? I don't remember having any cousin..." He looked to Dash as Scootaloo hugged her. "But uh... Scoot seems to be attatched to her.... I'll believe you this time Gil... but she tries anything funny and she's gonna have to leave!"

Gilda huffed just as the nurse pushed her way through Sonata and her father with a bag of Ryder's things. "Alright I checked with the doctor and its a definite go-home. A familiar environment would possibly restart his brain and bring everything back." She said laying the bag of things on the bed. She helped Gilda out of the bed and sat her in the wheel chair taking some of the insulin from the tray and having her hold the plastic with the needles. "Now Miss Gryphon these needles are to be kept where you can get them and you better be using your blood glucose meter! We don't need another scare like that again!"

Gilda sighed. "Alright... I'll be more careful nurse." She said. "Now can you get me to my truck...? I'd like to get back to my place soon."

"Sorry Miss Gryphon but you might not want to get behind the wheel until you know you're going to be alright!"

Officer Dusk looked to Sonata who was just out of sight yet again as the nurse came to the door with Gilda. "You just get on home with your friend there and get your things, get something more to eat if you need to." He said. "I'll get Ryder and his sister home alright?" Sonata gave a nod and followed Gilda and the nurse down the hall.

Not long later Gilda and Sonata were back in Gilda's truck just sitting in the parking lot. Truck wasn't even started and Sonata wasn't even in the drivers seat. Neither was Gilda for that matter. They were sitting in the back hugging it out while Sonata was softly sobbing into her friends shoulder. "...Come on Sonata he's gonna be fine..." She said. "I've never had amnesia before but I always see how it is on TV. Someone smacks their head, they wake up not remembering anyone or anything and then if they're triggered by someone saying something or hearing something just like the music that woke him up... Don't know if it's gonna be that easy but we're gonna try anything and everything I can. Speaking of which... You mind paying for something to eat for me? Getting kinda hungry and not much money on me remember?"

Sonata broke the hug and nodded. "...Sure.. I'll drive through and get you a bacon cheese burger since I remember you liking your meat..." She said. "I'll probably just get a soda or something... not that hungry..." Sonata climbed into the front seat and helped Gilda climb into the passenger seat. Sonata started the truck up and the radio turned on to a slow ballad that both Sonata and Ryder liked but she just turned it to another station playing punk music. Something only Sonata would like. She ended up going to the burger place her father went to and just zoned out thinking about Ryder while Gilda was ordering. She still kept her head in everything like having to drive up to the window and pay for Gilda's food and her driving but she still couldn't get her mind off Ryder no matter what the music was. As Gilda ate she turned the radio off and looked to Sonata.

"Penny for your thoughts there Sonata?" Sonata sighed as she stopped at a red light.

"...Sorry I'm just confused... Why does Ryder remember you and Scootaloo but not me or Dash...?" She glanced at Gilda. She shrugged.

"Not sure... I asked the same thing when you rushed out and all the nurse said was some people get amnesia and it affects everyone differently. Even gave me a quick story about her sister. The girl knocked her head and woke up remembering how to walk, talk but had to be potty trained all over again. Don't know how that works but... nuts to me."

"...Well... I hope he didn't freak out with my dad. I freaked out one day after a nightmare and he had to cuff me to my bed and told me to get some sleep to get the cuffs off... Kinda felt better after getting back to sleep but the thing that pissed me off was waking up at two in the afternoon. I don't like sleeping past noon. Morning person..." She looked to Gilda. "You got any handcuffs for naughty stuff or nah?"

"Well I had to bring everything from my truck inside when your dad came and... well he seemed to know I was one of Ryder's friends down on her luck when I smelled like shit, my bag of dirty laundry and a dresser or two in my truck bed... I'm just lucky I asked Ryder if I could stay with him and he said yes... Dash's mom knows I've had girlfriends in the past and doesn't want me anywhere near her already turned daughter. Hopefully if she finds me at Ryder's he can vouch for me that I'm not changing his sister... Do you think he would accept his sister being a lesbian?" Sonata shrugged.

"Don't know... He barely accepted himself for being bi... Actually thought I'd leave him too... maybe we can try and trigger his memory with the dildo he keeps hidden in his closet...?" Gilda covered her mouth and swallowed a chunk of burger before letting out a laugh.

"No way he keeps a dick toy in his closet?!" Sonata gave a nod. Gilda just busted up laughing. Sonata couldn't help but smile a bit with her friend laughing so hard. Not long later they were just coming back from Sonata's fathers home. Gilda had her jacket back on and Sonata had her bag in the back seat. They were driving down the road towards Ryder's home with the radio still off. As they turned onto the street they saw a few cars right in front of the house. One being an old truck with a wooden truck bed, an old looking sports car and a yellow moped parked out in front while Ryder's car was in the driveway parked a bit cockeyed. "Shit... Where the hell are we gonna end up parking?" Sonata shrugged and made a quick U-Turn.

"Uh... Call Dash and have her get Ryder's car in... And I think that truck belongs to Applejack and Big Mac maybe see if she can get them to pull their truck up a bit..." Gilda blushed and reached onto Sonata's lap. "...What the fuck do you think you're doing this is no time to play with me like that! We can do that later once Ryder's brain is fixed!"

"Look I just need your phone to call! No money for a calling card or even a data plan! And... Are you serious about that fooling around?" Sonata gave a hesitant nod blushing pulling Gilda's hand to the far side.

"I swear if you get caught by my dad and brought to the women prison I swear if you see my mom she will find me and kill me.... She's like that with me but she almost pushed me to be asexual by telling me Ryder could've given me some STD's or something but I actually made him get checked for anything after the first time so I didn't have to check myself... Shit..." Gilda slipped Sonata's phone out and brought it over.

"My mom just exiled me out of the fucking house and my dad as well for supporting me just for being bi. It's a bit of confusion for me but I just don't care. My mom was always a prissy bitch making me dress like a girl. First time I get locked up in Juvi was when I was ten and I hit my mother when she told me to put on a dress when I was going to school even though it was like ten fucking degrees out. I wanted to wear pants, a long sleeve band teeshirt yet she couldn't fucking get it through her thick skull..." She quickly unlocked the phone and went to Sonata's contacts quickly calling up Applejack and putting it on speaker as it buzzed. "You talk to her... Got me all pissed off right now..."

Sonata rolled her eyes as she pulled over just a few houses down. She grabbed her phone and gave a huff just as it clicked but just as she was about to speak she just got an earful of someone yelling. "BIG MAC JUST KEEP HIS FUCKING MOUTH SHUT I GOT A PHONE CALL!" She hear Applejack yell before hearing a door close. "Sonata I'm sorry sugarcube it's hard to talk with that amnesiac boyfriend of yours freaking the fuck out... His sister is trying to keep him calm by fake crying but apparently I cant ask for a damn drink of water from him. Where're you at? Maybe you can talk some sense into him."

Sonata sighed. "I'm just a few houses down with nowhere to park in front. I've got Gilda with me and apparently she's one of the only ones he remembers other than Scootaloo. Who's in there besides you?"

"Well you got me, my brother, Rarity and Pinkie. Dash is here holding back Ryder from doing something to my big brother but you know what I say? Let him get his ass knocked out who gives a fuck? Here I'll just come out get some damn air and see what I can do to give ya a place to park. Just give me a minute." Sonata hung the phone up and looked at Gilda.

"Here you just get out here and go wait out front. It's only gonna take a second to park."

Gilda gave a nod and carefully got out of the truck before walking up towards Ryder's car. Just as she gets to his neighbors drive way she see's Applejack walking out of Ryder's place in a pair of overalls and an orange flannel. She had her hair down and wasn't even wearing her hat. "AJ what's going on? You trying to help the dweeb get his memory back?" She asked.

Applejack looked over at Gilda as she leaned against the truck. "Yeah but he aint making it easy when he's trying to push us out... How the hell does he remember Scoot but not Dash?" She asked. "It aint normal to remember a few people and not the rest. It'd be like me forgetting how to make my families Cider yet know how to make an apple fritter. How're you doing? Dash told me you were in the hospital with Sonata when she sent to see if Ryder was awake." Gilda sighed.

"Diabetes.... Didn't have my insulin and almost went down... I'm lucky Ryder remembers me... If he didn't I'd be living right out of my truck."

"Shit... That don't sound like it'd be good. I went down because I just drank something I wasn't supposed to and just had it close my throat up. Didn't know it was an ingredient of Ryder's favorite sodas but... we all got what makes us sick. You have insulin you need, I got a soda I cant drink and Ryder... All you gotta do is get him panicked enough and he's vomiting and hiding away probably with a load in his pants. I'd know because I was asked by Scootaloo to help drag her brother from his room and spray him down with a hose after stripping him because he was held up in there since the night before and didn't think to have a bucket or anything. Big Mac had to go out buy him new shorts and pants. That's how bad it smelled." Gilda huffed just as Sonata drove past and turned around.

"Believe it or not that dweeb had me coming over with Dash and he ended up waking up in bed with me just because he had a nightmare about a girl who drugged him and fucked him." Sonata honked.

"Yeah I know who did that... now if you can wait a minute I think I gotta move my truck for yours..." She hopped into the truck and started it.

"...Hope Sonata know's how to fucking parallel park..." Not long later Gilda was sitting in the back of her truck with Applejack and Sonata still out in front of Ryder's home. Gilda looked to Sonata. "...Well I haven't heard anything coming from the house... He must be listening to everyone or his music probably..."

Sonata sighed. "Maybe..." She said. "It's kinda nice just to sit out here.... I'm actually afraid to go inside if he was yelling at you AJ...."

Applejack huffed. "Aint nothin' I haven't gone through before." She said. "I was emotional one day after granny died and the principal thought I was bawling over my grades and I gave her what for... Yelled at her Vice principal had to call in my brother to hold me down to keep myself from hitting her but I just latched onto him and he told them everything... ended up sending me, Big Mac and AB home along with Dash, Ryder, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Rarity and a few more of the others we was just so broken up..." She looked around a bit getting a bit misty eyed. "...I wasn't supposed to say anything but... They kept me from making a big mistake... You know the kind I mean... Right?" She looked to both Gilda and Sonata who both gave a nod and hugged her.

"...I feel sorry you lost your granny..."

Gilda sighed. "...I lost my grandmother to a drunk driver... Shit messed me up because I was there to see the drunk asshole slam into her..." She said. "...I had to go to therapy for a while... helped but sometimes I wish that drunk driver died instead of my grandmother... maybe then I wouldn't be such the asshole I am today..." She started to tear up as well. Sonata sighed.

"...Come on no crying! Let's get you two inside! I know I said I was afraid to go inside but I'm afraid to leave you two out here!" Sonata hopped out of the bed of the truck and helped her now sobbing friends out. She put Gilda's arm over her shoulder and took Applejack's hand. They walked up to the door and Sonata gave the door a kick. "Daassh! Scootaloo! C'mon someone let me in!"

They waited but a few seconds for the door to open up only to see Rainbow Dash with her hair looking like hell, Scootaloo on the couch laying on Pinkie's lap and Rarity patting her back with Ryder nowhere to be found. Big Mac took his sister and sighed. "...She started talking about granny didn't she?" He asked. Sonata gave a nod as she walked in and sat them in the loveseat. "Well you're lucky... Big brainless boy just went upstairs to use the can and I'm GLAD I didn't have to go up there with him and potty train his ass again..." Sonata looked at him confused. "...What? I don't wanna give that boy a lesson on the toilet again! I helped him when we were younger from what his dad told me but I aint willin' to do that again." Sonata went and kneeled down in front of the couch giving a bit of a snicker as Big Mac sat between Applejack and Gilda. Sonata looked to Scootaloo.

"...You okay there?"

Scootaloo gave a hesitant nod. "...Ryder doesn't remember anyone... I'm the only one keeping them from being tossed out..." She said. "...Are... You alright? Are you hurt by Ryder?" Sonata shook her head.

"Nah... I know this isn't him... he's nicer than this even to Dash..." She looked over and looked at Dash who was sitting on the arm of the loveseat with Applejack hugging her. "...She might be a bit abrasive sometimes but she only makes a bit of fun out of it. Now if she were to joke with him he'd take it seriously and probably yell at her... If he's like that with her I'm kinda afraid to see what he'd do with Fluttershy..."

Just then the toilet upstairs flushed. Sonata looked up to the banister and saw Ryder walking out from around the corner. He took one look downstairs and huffed seeing Sonata. "What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in?" He asked sounding pissed. Sonata huffed and stood up.

"I'm here still because of Gilda! I'm making sure she doesn't faint again!" He started down the stairs.

"But what were you doing talking to my little sister? Are you trying to hide something? Are you trying to steal from me?"

Scootaloo shot up and looked at Ryder. "SHE ISNT! SHE'S NICE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE!" She yelled. "You throw any of them out I'm going with them!" Ryder sighed and pulled Scootaloo over the couch and set her down.

"No you aren't! Besides how do you know... Who ever this is? How can we trust her?" He pointed to Sonata.

Big Mac looked over Gilda's shoulder. "The damn girl brought my sister inside after she went out to move the damn truck so she could park Gilda's truck!" He said. "Now it's either you calm down or I'm laying you out right here! You already know I'm way bigger than you!"

Pinkie got up from her seat as Ryder stepped towards Big Mac just as he got up as well. "No fighting you two!" She snapped. "Ryder just got out of the hospital, and he doesn't need to go back in!" She pushed both of them apart. Scootaloo grabbed her brother's arm just as he clenched his hand into a fist. He looked to her and looked into her eyes. He could just tell it wasn't worth it.

Sonata sat down next to Rarity. "...Today is NOT going the way I wanted it to..." She said. "I thought this day was going to be normal but here's life saying 'hey fuck everything because one big fucking problem.'"

Rarity glanced over as Ryder and Scootaloo went into the kitchen. "You mean Ryder bashing his head in?" She asked. Sonata gave a nod. "Well worst things could've happened darling. I just find it kind of funny that we can mess with Ryder and not have him be embarrassed or anything. He wouldn't remember it." She thought for a moment. "Maybe there could be at least something that gave your day a little shine? If I'm having a bad day I just have Sweetie Belle bring me a few fabrics and I draw up some designs for outfits for each of my friends."

"Music helps me but... music is not my friend today... too many of his songs..." She leaned back on the couch and rested her hands lightly on her belly just looking at them. Just then an idea came to her. 'Rocky'. She glanced over at Rarity. "...I... may have something that might make me feel better but it involves him..." She looked towards the kitchen. "... could trigger his mind... could bring a smile to my face... could destroy the entire world who the hell knows...?" Rarity got up and pulled Sonata to her feet just as Scootaloo and Ryder were coming from the kitchen.

"What ever it is just take a deep breath and let it out. You have nothing to be nervous about." Sonata gave a hesitant nod and faced away from everyone. Rarity backed away and nudged Dash and Applejack who were still hugging it out having them look up at Sonata. Sonata took a really deep breath. Deeper than a twenty foot deep pool. As she exhaled she turned about and looked at Ryder as Scootaloo sat in his lap keeping his arms restrained.

"....Well... I was going to keep this a secret to uh... most of you but... since this is a bit of a dire situation I might as well come out with it..." Tears started coming to her eyes. "...Ryder... I'm... I'm pregnant again... and it's yours!" Just then Rainbow Dash gasped and jumped up hugging her as well as Applejack and Rarity. Big Mac sat with Gilda just giving her a smile. Not even an emotion changed with Ryder.

Ryder huffed and rolled his eyes. "One congrats you slut!" He said. "Two it cant be mine since I have no fucking clue who you are!" Sonata's heart dropped. She growled a bit and wanted to dive for him but everyone hugging her held her back.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH IT IS YOURS WHY CANT YOU JUST FUCKING REMEMBER OR ACCEPT IT?!"

Gilda huffed and got up along with Big Mac and replaced the three girls holding the now enraged girl. Gilda looked to Ryder. "Ry I'm gonna take her upstairs. She didn't feel so hot when she was running me to the hospital earlier and I think she just needs some rest." She said. "Don't worry I'll keep a close eye on her! Promise!"

Ryder huffed. "Keep her where you can see her!" He snapped. "Bitch even goes anywhere she isn't supposed to she's gone!" Gilda gave a nod and looked to Big Mac.

"Help me with her alright?" Big Mac gave a nod and picked Sonata up by her legs and walked behind Gilda as she went for the stairs holding Sonata's torso. They carefully walked up stairs holding Sonata's limbs tight. Gilda looked down at Sonata as they just went into the open and messy room Sonata had left this morning. "...Sonata come on calm down this isn't good for the baby!"

Sonata sniffled. "F-fuck the baby if he doesn't remember!" She snapped. "...Just stick a damn coat hanger up and tear it out of me...."

Big Mac sighed as they lied Sonata on her bed. "Nnope! Aint gonna do that at all and even if I have to have AJ tie you down for the whole nine months!" He said. "That's wrong morally! Ryder's memory will come back sooner or later but that kid aint going anywhere Sonata!"

Gilda sat down on the bed and lied down with Sonata. "Seriously Sonata... Ryder told me how bad you were after the miscarriage... He even took a picture and sent it to me showing me the way you slept the entire night...." She said. She pulled her phone from her pocket and fooled around with it for a minute. She then showed her a photo of what she remembered the first night after the miscarriage. Sonata saw herself curled up in the corner holding a stuffed toy like a baby. She didn't bother even changing out of her street clothes that day.

Sonata sniffled. "...Y-you're right..." She said sniffling. "...Rocky will keep me and... R-ryder together..." She sniffled and threw an arm over Gilda and pulled her close. The leather jacket wearing girl looked up at Big Mac as she shoved her phone back in her pocket.

"...You just get on downstairs. I got her here... I feel like she needs a nap and someone to be close to..." Big Mac nodded and walked back out of the room shutting the door. Gilda looked to Sonata and kissed her on her cheek. "...See? I care... I'm not the big cold hearted jackass others are... To be honest... Ryder actually got me to be more compassionate for others and myself... One day I nearly hung myself but he just showed me that lifes too short to be sad..." She averted her gaze for a second. "...Can I tell you something Sonata?" Sonata gave a nod wiping her eyes on the pillow. "...Well... Ryder got me into pissing my pants and into diapers but the thing he had no help with was me being a sissy with it... My mom forced dresses on me but I didn't realize later in life I'd be back in dresses and diapers at the same time... I actually have a few in a suitcase just inside Ryder's room... Promise not to tell anyone about it?" Sonata gave a nod smiling a bit. "...Good dweeb... Now... I say we just get a bit of sleep... You're obviously cranky and me... I'm still feeling a bit weird from earlier... Might need to check my blood sugar real quick before a nap... You gonna be okay here for a minute by yourself?"

Sonata gave a slight nod. Gilda gave her a smile and got up from the bed. The still misty eyed girl watched as her friend dug into her pocket as she walked out of the room. Not even a second after that Sonata nodded off. As she slept she started to dream about just lying on the ground in the grass just looking up at clouds in a blue sky. She was surrounded by a forest with a cool breeze blowing over her and giving flight to pink, blue and white flower petals. A sitar played relaxing music as she lied there. A slight huff could be heard along with hooves hitting the ground. "I take it this is your happy place isn't it Sonata?" Someone said.

Sonata sat up for a second only to see Princess Luna approaching her. She sighed and hugged her legs. "...Yeah... I always come here when my day is shitty..." She said. "...First I came here was when I pissed myself during school and no one could bring me a pair of pants... Had to wear my gym clothes.... Next it was after my friends beat the shit out of me... then the miscarriage and now..."

"Sounds like a place I could alter for you but... maybe later... right now I came to warn you about Ryder. Our Ryder had to be restrained and put in a jail cell just to keep him away from anyone he might hurt. He gave Rainbow Dash quite the busted snout... If he takes aim for you do not stand still! Fight back and try to run for it if you get a chance! That new baby could get hurt in all of this! If you can get someone to get a hold of your local guard regiment or... what ever you have for protection! Twilight is working with Celestia to help her find a spell book to fix Ryder's mind but who knows how long that will be..." Just then the whole dream world shook. Sonata crawled over to Luna who stumbled a bit and held onto her almost like a child to her mother. Luna sat down and pried Sonata off with her magic and held her just as the world around them shook again. She released her setting her on the ground gently. "I must wake you up now... That's either the apocalypse of your dreams turning into nightmare or something outside your subconscious is disturbing your sleep..."

Before Sonata could respond Luna's horn caused a blinding light forcing everything into darkness. Now Sonata found herself in her room alone with the sound of crying right outside her door. "I KNEW SHE WAS BAD! I TOLD HER TO NOT LAY HER HANDS ON MY FUCKING SISTER!" She heard Ryder yell out.

Sonata got up from her bed and walked over to the door opening it. Just as she stepped out into the hall Scootaloo ran past her and slammed the door into her room. There just outside her door she saw Rainbow Dash sitting against the wall in tears with Applejack holding a bloody wash cloth against her face. She looked the otherway and saw Pinkie and Rarity half way down the stairs just holding each other scared. Gilda stood just to the right of the stairs ready to pounce on Ryder who was struggling to get out of Big Mac's grip. "DAMMIT YOU BETTER JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN BEFORE I TIE YOU TO THE HOOD OF MY FUCKING TRUCK!" Big Mac yelled.

"YOU EVEN TRY I'M GONNA LAY YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT!" Ryder struggled a bit more and kicked Big Mac in the side with his heel. Not even an inch.

Sonata tapped Gilda on the shoulder and flinched as she turned around ready to swing. "Woah! Just me!" She said. "What's going on? What happened while I was asleep? How long as I out?"

Gilda huffed taking Sonata over just to the opening of the stairs. "You were just out for about a half hour!" She said. "This brainless dweeb goes to the kitchen for a minute to get some food and comes back to see Dash taking Scoot upstairs just to talk with her and see if she can think of a way to help fix her brother and next thing we know Dash is bleeding, Ryder's yelling and shit just hits the fan... You holding up okay?" Sonata gave a nod staring at Ryder.

"Ryder stop this! No one here's trying to hurt you!"

Ryder gave a growl as he struggled more. "Fuck that! Tiny here's nearly breaking my back with his knee!" He said. "How do I know no one here's strapped?! One of you could have a knife for all I know!" Sonata started to hesitantly approach Ryder and Big Mac cautiously as she started to tear up.

"...Dammit if anyone wanted to hurt you they could've done it already! Please just calm down! You calm down and we let you go! You understand?"

"FUCK YOU AND FUCK BEING CALM I CANT TRUST ANYONE HERE!" Ryder gave a grunt and kicked Big Mac hard giving himself just enough room to flip over and push Big Mac off. He ran past Sonata pushing her into the wall. Applejack got herself in between Dash and her enraged cousin while Gilda rushed Ryder and slammed him into a wall. Sonata growled and rubbed the back of her head as she stepped away from the wall. She walked towards Ryder and Gilda just as Dash was crawling away with AJ. Ryder was beating on his friends back trying to get her to let go but she was just taking it. Suddenly Sonata kicked Gilda off Ryder before grabbing him and dragging him over to the stairs before throwing him down.

"PUSH ME YOU GET PUSHED BACK YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Sonata yelled out. Ryder rolled down the stairs causing Rarity and Pinkie to get clear of the living projectile. When he got half way down the stairs his head slammed against the wall knocking him out cold. Sonata dropped to her knees and broke down crying. She gagged and instantly vomited on the steps.

Gilda groaned and got up and hurried over to Sonata as she wiped her eyes. "Sonata? Are you okay? Did he hurt you at all?" She asked. Sonata shook her head and latched onto Gilda. Gilda looked over to Big Mac as he got to his feet rubbing his back. "Big Mac check on Dash and call an ambulance! She looked like she was bleeding pretty bad!" He nodded just as Sonata puked again. The leather jacket wearing girl looked back to Sonata and shushed her. "Hey hey calm down... you're okay...we're all gonna be alright..." She shushed her and held her close rubbing her back.

"....R-ryder..... god dammit Ryder..... you just had to push me... make me snap like that... I didn't want to hurt you but..." She curled up into a ball and sobbed. Gilda looked downstairs through the wooden bars.

"Pinkie! Rarity one of you get up here and make sure Scootaloo is okay and the other make sure Ryder's not hurt too bad! He gets up I'm putting him back down!" Not even a moment later Pinkie was coming up the stairs with Rarity. Rarity stopped and knelt down next to Ryder while Pinkie snuck past Sonata and Gilda going straight into Sonata's room.

Rarity looked up at Gilda. "He's still breathing! I don't think he's hurt too bad but.... hopefully there wont be if he doesn't act like that again..." She said. "You want me to clean up Sonata's little mess there?"

"Yeah just do it quick! And please try not to puke! We don't need a bigger mess!" Rarity gave a nod and rushed back downstairs. Gilda sat Sonata up and hugged her before looking up at the bedroom door as it opened back up.

From the room came Pinkie Pie holding Scootaloo who was crying with a big wet stain on her pants. She held Sonata's phone in her hand which was against Pinkie's shoulder. "...Gotta change some bedding and some clothes..." Pinkie said a bit worried. "...And... might have a bit of a problem...." She took Sonata's phone and showed the contact photo for Sonata's father. He was in his police uniform. "...She called a cop and someone wishes she could take it back..." Gilda huffed and took Sonata's phone locking it.

"It's fine! Just get her changed. Don't worry that's Sonata's dad, he knows all about Ryder! ...Hope he doesn't try anything... Don't want to see the sleeping dweeb in cuffs and he doesn't need to see me in any pain..." Pinkie nodded and hurried over to Scootaloo's room. Gilda looked to Sonata. "Sonata... C'mon stand up and get downstairs... I'll be downstairs in a bit to get some more food into you... Looks like you lost what ever you ate earlier... If you need some help I can get you changed into something more comfortable and... Maybe a bit more absorbent? I feel like you're about to piss yourself...."

Sonata looked up at Gilda and sniffled shuttering a bit. "...D-diapers are under Ryder's bed... Just come downstairs with them..." She said. "....Just help me up.... I can get downstairs by my self Gil..." Gilda gave her friend a small smile and stood her up. Sonata carefully stepped around her pool of vomit and carefully down the steps as Gilda went into Ryder's room. Just as Sonata was half way she collapsed catching herself right next to Ryder. She could hear Rarity looking through the kitchen cupboards for cleaning supplies. She looked to Ryder who looked as peaceful like he hadn't woken up from the hospital. "...Why did you have to get amnesia...? It could've been an in and out... Scootaloo's all scared... She's sick... and now daddy's on his way to arrest you or something... he tries to take you I'm not gonna forgive him for anything anymore..."

Just before she looked back she saw Ryder's eyes start to twitch. Her heart dropped. She gave a slight scream making him jump a bit. She started to crawl back upstairs as he groaned. Gilda came to the top of the stairs just as Sonata stopped just before her pool of vomit. Carefully Gilda climbed over the banister and dropped onto the steps just inches away from Sonata's feet. She stepped down stairs carefully and readied herself. His eyes fluttered open slowly as he came to. "...Huh... the fuck...?" He said feeling groggy. He looked up at Gilda putting a hand to his head. "...Gilda...? What are you doing...? How did I get home?"

Gilda looked back at Sonata who was covering her head. She lowered her guard and stepped down the steps more. "...You uh... feeling okay?" She asked. Ryder sat up and groaned a bit.

"...I feel like someone smacked the crap out of me.... can you please tell me why my head hurts...?"

"....you mean you don't remember getting tossed down the stairs?" Ryder gave her a confused look as she hesitantly knelt down in front of him.

".... tossed down stairs...? Did Scoot push me or something...?" He looked downstairs at the empty living room. "...Where is Scoot...? Is she okay? Does Dash have her or something...?" Gilda sighed and hugged Ryder.

"Holy shit... you're back... I thought we were gonna have to keep trying to get that brain working again... Dumb fucking dweeb didn't even know who to trust..." Ryder looked over Gilda's shoulder and saw Sonata shaking near her puke pool.

"...Sonata....? Sonata... come on get over here..." Sonata stayed in place shaking still. "....What the hell's wrong with Sonata...?" Gilda broke the hug and rested a hand on his shoulder lightly.

"...You uh... did some things that caused a few bruises a bit of blood and maybe a few hurt feelings..." She started to take her jacket off before taking her top off. "Excuse this... Didn't have time to take a shower and... feeling kinda filthy in a bad sense here..." She turned around covering her chest showing him the bruises she had from him beating on her. "...These were worth it to get your brain back..."

Just then Rarity came from the kitchen with a bucket of water, a plastic bag and a large sponge. She stopped at the foot of the stairs blushing seeing the topless punk chick and Ryder awake. "...Uh... D-do you want me to get Big Mac to move him...?" She asked. "If you do you're going to have to hold him down! I don't want him attacking me now!"

Gilda turned back to Ryder covering herself with her jacket. "Attack you...? Rarity what the hell kinda guy do you think I am...?" Ryder said. Rarity set down the cleaning supplies and climbed the stairs giving a smile. She knelt down next to Ryder and hugged him.

"Thank goodness you're back to normal!" She broke the embrace. "Tell me what do you remember from today?"

"...I remember driving to school and the kickball game during Dash's gym class but... nothing after that... Can you just get Sonata up and get her here please? I wanna see her..." Rarity and Gilda both gave a nod and stood up. Gilda climbed the stairs and grabbed Sonata who gave a scream and wet herself on the steps. Rarity sighed as she climbed the steps with the cleaning supplies yet again.

"Dont worry I got it...."

Gilda huffed and let Sonata finish emptying her bladder. "Come on it's only me Sonata!" She said. "Ryder's awake! He's okay!" Sonata whimpered and curled up more. "...Alright... I'm gonna give you one chance to get up so your boyfriend doesn't have to move.... You don't move within the next five seconds I'm gonna sit on you and I'm gonna take a leak on you! Then you're gonna have to get up and change! Don't wanna smell like piss do you?" She got no answer. "Alright... 1....." No movement. "2.... 3...." Still nothing. "4... 4 and a half...." More nothing. She sighed and leaned against the wall straddling the still frightened girl. She looked directly at Ryder who was blushing hard. "Alright dweeb... this'll be a get well soon thing for you so keep your eyes on this." She closed her eyes and sighed as she relaxed. A stain started to grown on her crotch and run down Sonata's back. Rarity knelt down and just started to clean Sonata's puke.

"....I'm just gonna be a maid for today aren't I... twenty five bucks for each mess that's made on these floors... So far I'm just counting Sonata's accidents.... Just... being.... NICE!" Gilda gave a sigh feeling relieved as the wet stain stopped growing and the dribbling urine dripped to a stop.

"....There.... You gonna get up now or am I gonna have to ruin these pants?" Sonata tapped the floor a few times. "...Tapping out? Good girl...." She stepped off of the soaked girl and pulled her to her feet. Sonata had tears in her eyes on her blushing face. "...You can either strip down now or maybe see your boyfriend. Maybe tell him everything that went on? Seems what happened to him got numbskull to feel his skull again. He actually remembers you now! You wanna test him?"

Sonata gave a nod and hesitantly stepped down stairs. She sat just two steps up from the half way plateau with the stain on her pants displayed for Ryder to see. "...T-tell me a secret you would know about me...." She said.

Ryder groaned as he lied back down. "....Sonata why cant you just hug me...." He replied. Sonata smiled a bit and just started to cry again. She crawled to Ryder and lied next to him just holding him close. "...Hey... it's okay.... I got you.... Are you alright baby...?" Sonata sniffled.

"...We are now...." He gave her a confused look.

"We...?" He looked up at Gilda who was just trying to keep herself from crying. "What's she mean by we?"

Gilda huffed. "...Maybe we can tell you later..." She said. "We actually got a bit of a problem that needs setting straight... Got an injury in the bathroom and a cop on the way." She pointed to Sonata. "Scoot got her phone when you were confused as hell. Once Sonata's dad gets here I'll explain everything! You stay there and... Maybe keep Sonata close just in case Dash gets out of the bathroom... Maybe have someone in there get you down to the couch."

Not long later Ryder was sitting on the couch with Big Mac and Gilda who had changed into some of Sonata's clothes. Pink skirt and a pink striped tank top. Officer Dusk sat right across on the love seat right next to Scootaloo on Pinkie's lap. "...I guess you just... freaked out because Dash was taking me upstairs...." Scootaloo said. "...I... I didn't think you'd go and hit Dash like that... You know what mom and dad would do if you even hit me!"

Ryder covered his face. Big Mac sighed and rested his hand on his friends shoulder. "You're just lucky Dash aint willin' to press any charges on you." He said. "You did that to me or AJ you'd be laid out and you're just lucky Gilda can take a punch and fight back." He looked to Officer Dusk. "Sorry you had to be called out here like that... I was actually about ready to shit myself thinking someone was gonna get arrested...."

Officer Dusk gave a smile. "No worries about that." He said. "Best I could do with him would be cuff him to the bed and wait till he wore himself out. I'm just glad most of everyone is okay here.... My little darlin' okay here?"

Gilda gave a nod. "Applejack is helping her wash up." She said. "I checked Dash's nose and it's just badly bruised. No broken nose. I guess I'm just lucky to know my survival skills incase I'm stuck in the wilderness." Sonata's father sighed.

"That's good... Always needs some help washing after she pukes like that." He sighed. "...Back when Sonata's mother poisoned her with small traces of her own special vodka she was vomiting up a storm... First night she went to wash herself up after having an accident and she just looked too weak to stand up in the shower... Had her mother get in a bathing suit to make sure she didn't slip under the bath water while I just helped wash her up... Fell asleep in the tub she was so weak." He looked upstairs hearing a door open. Just from around the corner came Dash with a swollen red nose and a metallicolt teeshirt a pair of shorts. Rarity was at her side holding her hand. "Well there's someone that deserves an apology." He looked to Ryder. "I think my job might be done here. You need anything you got my number."

Ryder sighed leaning on Gilda. "...Yeah... I got it..." He said. "...Thanks for understanding Officer Dusk... Sorry about the trouble I caused if any towards you..." Sonata's father stood up and walked over towards the door.

"Dont worry. You didn't mean nothin' by it. Just call me when Sonata gets out of the shower." Ryder gave a nod and watched as Sonata's father opened up the door and walked out.

Rarity gave a sigh just as Dash groaned a bit going downstairs. "Dash come on I know it hurts but it isn't broken!" The purple haired girl said. "Those pain killers AJ found should help once they kick in. Just take a few breaths, calm down and sit next to Ryder."

Dash huffed. "Doh! Fug hib!" She snapped sounding nasally. "He hit be so fuggid hard! Didn't you see de blood?!"

"No dash and I don't want to! I fainted pulling a panty liner out! Now you're going to see Ryder or someone might be tied to a chair so he can apologize!" Dash rolled her eyes.

"....Fide... I'll do it.... I'b dot godda sit dowd though."

"Fine with that but you be nice! He doesn't feel any better than you do right now you know!" Dash sighed just as they got to the bottom of the steps. Rarity walked around to the front of the couch where Ryder was just lying down on Gilda's lap.

Ryder sighed as Gilda rested her hand on the side of his head. "...Dash... I'm sorry for smashing your face in like that..." He said. "...I don't remember what made me do that... but what ever it was just.... know I'm very sorry..."

Dash held on to Rarity and raised her foot kicking Ryder straight in the gut. "...That's for hitting be...." She said. "And this is for getting sobe weird abdesia..." She forced her cousin to stand up so she could hug him. "...fuggid Scootaloo was freakid the fug out because of you dot wakid up..." She sat Ryder down leaning him onto Gilda again.

".... Can you get me something to drink Dash...? Feels like I didn't drink anything all day..." Dash gave a nod and walked with Rarity towards the kitchen. Ryder looked to Pinkie and Scootaloo. "...Scoot... Come here... you aren't scared of me are you?"

Scootaloo cuddled up to Pinkie a bit. Pinkie sighed looking to Ryder. "She's still kinda scared from what you were doing..." She said. "I'd do something but it'd be better if she stuck with me until she's calmed down... She's still shaking." Ryder looked to Gilda.

"...You mind helping me upstairs so I can see Sonata? I wanna make sure she's alright."

Gilda gave a nod and nuzzled her friend. After Ryder got a bottle of water from his cousin Gilda helped him walk upstairs and into the bathroom where they saw Sonata sitting in the bath with Applejack on her knees holding her near the edge of the bath. Sonata was looking half asleep just struggling to stay awake. Applejack looked up at Ryder and gave a huff. "Shit sugarcube... Dash lost quite a bit of blood from what I saw and I really hope you apologized!" She said. Gilda rested Ryder right next to the tub just a foot away from Applejack.

"...Don't worry I did... I'm just up here because I'm worried about Sonata..." He looked to Sonata and reached to her. Her eyes snapped open as he started to caress her face.

Sonata looked to Ryder and gave a weak smile. "....I'm so glad you're okay Ryder.... I thought I really hurt you when I pushed you down the stairs..." She said.

"...You okay baby....? I'm more worried about you than I am about myself.... I don't care if my legs are busted or if i'm just sitting with no mobility at all...." Sonata pulled herself out of the bath sliding onto the floor, water just dripping off her naked body. She sat herself up and leaned onto Ryder giving him a kiss.

"I'm fine.... You didn't hurt me... but... maybe it's time to tell you the reason I was getting sick earlier.... Not because of your cooking at all..." She moved his hand from his side to just above her crotch and smiled. Gilda knelt down and rested her hand on Ryder's should shuttering a bit just waiting on the answer. "....Ry... Rocky's back... she's gonna stay this time.... we'll make sure of it right...?" Ryder gave a smile and started tearing up. He kissed Sonata deeply and broke it quickly.

"...Daddy's gonna make sure that baby inside momma stays healthy... I love you Sonata..."

"Love you too Ry...."

Gilda sniffled and wiped a tear as Applejack gave an excited clap. "...Congrats Dweeb... I mean... new daddy... Maybe if Sonata lets you I can get you ready for the little baby... I got a bit of things in one of my bags..." She said. She looked to Applejack. "You maybe wanna get these two into bed for a nap? Looks like they just want some quality time with each other. That and a nap..."

Applejack gave a nod. "Sure thing girl. You pad em both up and maybe join in on that." She said. "You're looking like you wanna show Ryder how you look... Aint saying anything but sorry for going through your things while Sonata was nappin'... Might give the boy a little show to show aint no hard feelings between ya for what happened." Gilda nodded holding the couple close just looking like they had already drifted off to sleep.

Not long later Sonata and Ryder were cuddled up in his bed. Sonata covered with a diaper and a tank top, Ryder just with a diaper. As they lied there Sonata started to dream. She dreamt she was just lying on her bed cuddling a little baby doll. She sighed as she set the doll down and got up from her bed and going to the door. She opened it and instantly saw Princess Luna sitting in a dark blank dream scape. "...Luna... He's back to his old self..." She said running to hug the alicorn. "...I had to push him down the stairs because he was fighting with everyone..."

Luna sighed. "It's alright... Ours somehow got out of the prison and he charged at Gilda right in front of the stairs and she moved just in time for him to just loose his tread and fall down smashing his head." She replied. "Right now he's napping in the infirmary. From what the doctors have seen it isn't a concussion so we both are lucky for that. Did you tell your Ryder about the new little one?" Sonata gave a nod. "Ah wonderful! Is he taking it well?" She nodded again. "Well... On the outside he might look alright but I've visited my Ryder's dreams enough to know something's always going down. I once found him tied up in what looked to be a church praising my mother just because he was struggling about whether or not to tell his friends about his sexuality. I actually helped him explore his feelings about things and I happened to be the first one to find out he was bisexual. He had even asked me to help him come out... granted I helped him he still had a bit of trouble." Sonata chuckled as she sat down holding onto Luna's leg.

"Yeah I remember that... He just stayed quiet while I ended up telling them." She hummed and averted her gaze for a moment. "....Maybe we should check on him and make sure he isn't freaking out internally... Don't want a messed up daddy..." Luna smiled and stood Sonata up with her magic.

"That we don't... there are a few fathers out there more messed up than Ryder when the apocalypse is mentioned. Now.... is your Ryder right next to you? I want to try linking an Equestrians mind with a non-Equestrian." Luna stood up and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath having her horn glow. Just then the entire realm of darkness turned into a large field with a single cherry blossom tree where they both blushed hard seeing a familiar looking Pegasus mounting a griffon with feathers on her head tapering off to a light violet color. It was Fyxit and the Griffon form of Gilda. Sonata looked to Luna.

"Wrong Ryder! Try and sense another one! If you found me by sensing Equestrian magic you can try and find him considering he fell through with me!" Quickly Luna made everything disappear. She huffed.

"...Okay.... Ryder's happy place is a single cherry blossom tree to fuck under.... You might want to expect the same thing but with a human.... looking Gilda... Human right?" She looked at Sonata quizzically. Sonata nodded. "Alright then... Let me try this again." She closed her eyes once more. Sonata rested her hand on Luna's shoulder just as her horn started to glow again. Just then the realm changed again to the same thing. Field with a single cherry blossom tree. Under the tree was a bed with her Ryder just drilling away at Gilda who just looked like she was overflowing with his spunk. Luna blushed and used her magic to make Gilda disappear and clothe Ryder in a bathrobe. He blushed as he saw Sonata walking towards him with Luna at her side. "Don't freak out now Ryder we only came to check on you!"

Ryder blushed and fixed the bathrobe to hide himself. "....U-uh... Sonata I can explain..." He said.

Sonata sat next to him and kissed his cheek. "...You have nothing to explain... I had a feeling that would happen..." She said. "....Ryder this is Princess Luna from Equestria. She tells me Fyxit had the same little problem you had. She even came to me to tell me about a few things I remember from a dream I had. You remember the one with you first week in the house?"

"Yeah... You were too scared to go back to sleep the next day." She blushed a bit and looked to Luna.

"So Luna.... You said my banishment is lifted?"

Luna gave a nod. "That is right." She said. "Thy banishment has been lifted due to the magic of friendship. You may have to be studied a bit to have us find out why your magic is coming back but I promise you it wont be painful at all. but it may take a while. I actually want you two to come here and meet everypony you didn't meet in your first stay here. That means Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and your sisters. Even Celestia and I will be there to greet you. Say this weekend at around noon? Twilight did say she would turn you two into griffons so you can enjoy your... weird human dietary needs. Even having Dash's griffon friend cook some meals for you so you don't go back with flower petals sitting inside your stomach. I don't know how you could handle it but I say it wont be good."

Sonata and Ryder looked to each other a bit surprised. Ryder looked to Luna and smiled. "Sounds like a plan!" He said. "We'll try to be there around noon but I kinda wanna try and practice a little routine for when the baby wants out.... Better to be prepared than late." He put his hand on Sonata's belly and kissed her. Luna laughed a bit.

"Fine but be fast about it! I had everyone prepare a little congratulations on the new kid. A gift basket has been prepared with a few things for both you parents and the baby itself. Of course your gifts will remain hidden inside the castle until your departure. Understood?" Both Ryder and Sonata gave a nod. Luna smiled once more. "Well... I guess this is my cue to wake you up. Have a great rest of the week you two. Stay safe, stay healthy and I shall see you soon." Sonata sprang up and hugged Luna. Luna hugged her back and brought Ryder in to it as well. They were happy again. They had Rocky again and a new resident of the house Gilda. This may or may not be an interesting time. Who knows.

See you next time in Sonata's Ryde 3.
