Discoveries

  Fresh baked cookies filled the air within the Cake's bakery. From scents coming from pies, cookies, pastries, to even muffins. A grey unicorn with a blonde mane was ordering half a dozen muffins. Her eyes were in two different directions and her tongue was sticking out of her mouth. The orange skinny stallion behind the corner happily put a basket of muffins on top of the counter and the grey mare picked it up and placed two gold coins on the table. She waved goodbye and turned but collided with the front door, breaking it off its hinges. Mr. Cake signed.

"That's another few bits toward the door."

  Mr. Cake then heard a high pitch voice in his ear, nearly giving him a heart attack.

"MR. CAKE!"

  The stallion put his hand to his chest and staggered back some. He gave a annoyed look as he put himself together. There standing in front of him was Pinkie Pie. His, somewhat creepy, employee Pinkie Pie. She had the usual wide smile on her face and she was jumping up and down as if the floor was a trampoline. Mr. Cake signed again and fixed his bakery hat.

"What is it this time Pinkie?" he asked.

  The pinky pony stopped bouncing and reached into her hair. Mr. Cake felt his eye twitch. When ever the mare wound reach inside her hair, she always pulled something weird out of it. Little over a week ago she pulled out an entire damn tricycle! Pinkie Pie huffed as she found what she was looking for. She pulled out from her hair a piece of paper. An order, Mr. Cake figured. She then plastered it on the stallions nose, giving a small giggle as she did so. He pulled the sticky note off and looked it over. He then gave a surprised look.

"A delivery to Twilight's house?" he asked.

  Pinkie Pie nodded furiously. Now her smile was eating into Mr. Cakes soul. He chuckled nervously and went into the back to see if the order was ready. Indeed it was, a bright red and white cake with red lettering at the top.

'Welcome Home Jason!' it read.

  Mr. Cake shrugged off the bizarre comment and carried the small cake to the front desk where Pinkie Pie was dressed in her delivery outfit. By this point, Mr. Cake wasn't going to ask how she did it so fast. He handed her the cake and she vanished out the front door. Pinkie Pie was bouncing all the way toward Twilights house. The thickness of the snow not stopping her as she sprinted toward the tree house. It was one of the lit houses in Pony Ville at the time. She stopped dead in her tracks as she reached the front door of the tree house. She knocked what seemed like a hundred times until the front door slowly opened. What she was expecting was either Twilight or Spike, but instead was broad shoulder, black furred, and damaged mask wolf man starring down at her. Pinkie didn't let it bother her though as she gave a questionable look before returning to her wide smile.

"OH! Mr. Jason! Is this for you?" she said. Holding the cake out toward the wolf man.

  Jason grabbed Pinkie by the back of her neck and swung her into the house, slamming the door behind him. She had a surprised look on her face, this was something she wasn't expecting. He carried her into the kitchen were Twilight, the crusaders, and Spike were sitting. He dropped her and Pinkie landed on her hooves, still holding the cake. The crusaders grew smiles of their own and quickly rushed over and grabbed the cake before putting three coins in Pinkie's hand. She returned to her jovial smile and sat down in one of the seats.

"Sorry if Jason was a little rough Pinkie Pie." Twilight said.

  The pink mare shacked her head.

"Not at all! It was fun!"

  Every one looked at each other rolled their eyes. Jason stood in the doorway of the kitchen, not moving. Apple Bloom set the cake down on the kitchen counter, she and the rest of the crusaders walked back over toward the revenant and hugged his legs. He looked down at them and patted their heads.

"When did you get back mister Jason?" Pinkie asked.

  The revenant cocked his head. Apple Bloom looked toward the wolf man and answered for him.

"He just got back yesterday." she said.

  The filly looked back to discover Pinkie missing a embarrassed Twilight and Spike behind. Both were pinching the temples of their noses. Jason felt the pink ones presence behind him, he snapped around and saw her picking at his exposed bones. She was tapping on Jason's ribs by this point with a very questionable look. Jason breathed deeply, catching her attention. Pinkie looked up and saw Jason's teeth grinding above her. She giggled with embarrassment and darted back around to her seat. Twilight looked over the revenant again with a confused look of her own.

"Pinkie does have a right to be curious though. How is Jason alive?"

  Everyone looked toward Jason, he was watching a spider climb down the kitchen wall. it was obvious his attention was taken away from the conversation. Twilight saw this as a sign.

"His brain must be jelly by now with how long he was underwater and possible blows to the head he's received." she said.

  Jason was prodding the spider now with his finger. The arachnid bit him but the wolf man showed no pain, instead he lifted his finger with the spider's fangs still in his finger. He cocked his head once more. The crusaders giggled at the sight. Pinkie Pie then suddenly was gone again and she reappeared onto Jason's head. Everyone held their breathe as the wolf man slowly, lifted his head to see two bright blue eyes looking at him. He then grabbed his axe next to him and swung but Pinkie was already gone. She was right back in her seat. However no one paid attention as they observed Jason try to pull his axe out of his head. With a violent sound of cardboard being ripped, Jason pulled out his axe and looked over the blade. Now Twilight was even more curious as to why he didn't die from that or not a single ounce of blood came out.

"Something must have brought him back to life." she concluded.

"But what?" asked the crusaders.

  Twilight leaned back in her chair and scratched her chin. She had only one option.

"Do you three mind if I keep Jason here for a few days?" she asked the fillies.

  The crusaders looked at Twilight was cautious looks. They worried she was going to cut Jason open and see what brought him back. They worried something might go wrong, Jason getting angry and possibly killing Twilight, or the alicorn blowing their friend up. The last one was their best guess. Though, they were curious as well. The crusaders didn't ask Jason how he came back yet and to be honest, they didn't care. They soon came to a decision.

"Okay." they said.

  Twilight gave a warm smile and put her hand on their shoulders. Jason was still playing with the spider on his finger.

  Jason didn't know why he was still in in this tree house. All he knew was his friends wanted him to stay in the tree house for a few days so that they would tell everyone he was alive. Jason didn't care much for the others company, matter of fact he preferred to just the crusaders. They have become like sisters to him since he has been in Equestria. He would only do what they say, as long as its nothing absurd. All this time, the purple one had Jason sit in a seat and has been hovering over him for the past few hours. Levitating a clipboard next to her and looking over Jason's bones, fur, even his exposed teeth. She stood up and examined the spot where Jason had struck himself with his axe. All the meantime, her breasts where mere centimeters from Jason's nose. He paid no attention to it however as the wolf man was bored out of his mind.

  Twilight levitated a flashlight toward her and gripped it the moment it hit her palm. She clicked it on and shined the light in Jason's left eye. She tried to see if the pupil would dilate but to her suspicions it didn't. She figured something must be wrong with Jason's head if the eyes didn't respond to direct light. He didn't have symptoms of a concussion which is what made Twilight more curious. She then shined it on his other eye, but Twilight let out a small scream as she discovered their wasn't one. Instead was a part of Jason's skull looking back at her accompanied by an empty eye socket. Jason didn't move. She quickly grabbed the flashlight and shined inside his skull again. It was empty, and very dry. Jason was more decomposed then Twilight thought. He was a walking corpse! Another hint of curiosity came to Twilight. She pulled back from Jason and looked at his mask.

"If you don't mind Jason. I'm going to look under your mask."

  Jason shacked his head. Twilight didn't want to argue, fearing what Jason might do if she went against his wishes. She grabbed her clipboard out of the air and looked it over. Jason had barely any blood in his system, it was only found in his vital organ spots but even then their was barely any. His skin looked as though you could peel it off like a banana. Then theirs the case of Jason's skull exposed. Twilight thought it best to leave that part alone, figuring the wolf man was far gone from being normal. She still however needed to find out what resurrected Jason. Biting her lip, Twilight engulfed her horn in magic. Jason snapped his head up and observed the pretty colors.

"Okay...please don't be mad at me for this, but I need to test something." she said.

  Jason cocked his head and observed as a violet stream of magic hit him dead in the chest but bounced off him. Hitting the book shelf behind the two. Jason looked at the burning pages falling of the shelf. Twilight looked as though she was going to pass out.
