May was exploring the forest for a bit. Although it seems all nice here and no sight of any creatures around(except for critters), and everything around her is peaceful, but she can't shake this worrying feeling and wondering why Anubis wasn't coming.
She survived the cold snowy mountain and she made it to the forest, so why does she still feel empty? Her eyes were tired and she felt a cold chill that moves slowly though her warm skin.
"Where is you? Why didn't you come?" she thought to herself. She wishes, that she never have told him to eat her, and maybe they will be here together. She was already exhausting, even though she just got there. She decided to lie down on the grass and tried to rest.

"Grandma... Dusty... Lily... At least you have eachother. What's the point of going on, if you're gonna be alone..." she thought sadly. Appearently, she heard some birds tweeting scared, but they tweeted something, that took her attention:

"A beast! There is a beast..."

"Beast?" May whimpered curiously. The small bird tweeted that there is a strange beast in the meadow. After hearing that, May quickly got on her feets and ran so fast. "Anubis must be alive! It have to be him!" May said to herself as she ran though the woods into a open meadow, where she stopped on a small meadow hill. She panted exhausting, but still staring at the horizon.
"Anubis?" she mumbled curiously. There is a small figure in the middle of the meadow. He seems familiar. And he actually look like Anubis. But she already recognizes him and called his name, while running towards him. The red draconequess heard her call and turns back. He saw May running, but seems confused.

"Huh? What's this" he asked curiously.

May kept running and so does Anubis. They ran through the meadow and she was about to hug him, he instead knocks her head and she fainted by the hit...

Later on, she woke up and saw Anubis sitting there inside a small den. Her heard still hurts, but she was extremely happy to see him again. "Thanks goodness, you're alive!" she shouted in joy. But Anubis just pushes her away and kept starting at nowhere. May looked confused and even asked him why he did that. But she did notice, something was odd. "Where are we? Is this our new home?" she asked again.

"Your what?! Will you please shut up! I don't want my dinner to be so loud!" Anubis shouted in a aggressive way.

"Dinner? What in Equestria are you talking about!" May murmured in confusion. She told him, that it wasn't funny and even tried to convinced him, that it's her. Anubis seems to be annoyed and told her to shut up. "Stop calling me that ridiculous name! Whoever he is, I'm not him!"
May was surprised to hear him like that. She didn't recognize his strange behavior, but even asked if this is a practical joke. Or did he really not remember her.
"Geez. You sure are whiny for a pony," Anubis said in annoyance and told her to stop talking. "I don't know who you are and I don't care! Although... It's ironic that I don't even remember my own name..."
May already knew, that something was off, but she never expected that he has memory loss. It must be from the avalanche, she heard yesterday night. But how she don´t know. She can't do anything, but to stare at him in a worried glare.
"There is... one thing I do remember..." said Anubis a bit quiet. May asked him in hope for, that he might remember something. Anubis took a bite on a rock on his paw and spit it out. He then took a glare on May and said with a chuckle, "Pony mean is my absolute favorite."
May was in shock and backed up a bit. She couldn't believe what he said. She knew that he ate any kinds of meat, and perhaps he might have taste a pony before, but this... this is just the worse.
"It's been a long time, I've taste a pony..." Anubis said with a smirk. "... I might want to eat you now, but you are a special treat. So I might have to wait until the moonrise."
May tried to convince to remember her and that they were actually friends, but Anubis kept telling her to shut her tiny mouth and even telling her that she'll be eaten soon. "Give me a good reason, why I should believe you?" he asked in disbelief.
"But it's true, what I'm saying! We went to picnic together," May said in desperate. She tried once more to convince him and waving on her face to recover his memories, but Anubis growled in annoyance and shouted once more time to shut up.

"I don't wanna hear anymore from you, pipsquek! All I see is a pathatic mule who tried to talk this nonsense to escape! You ARE gonna die and there's nothing you can do!" he shouted in rage.

May felt her heart sting and her eyes wetted into tears. "Mule...". He would never call her that, even if he was angry. But she knew inside that it wasn't him. He's not that Anubis she knew...

As time passed, it's already afternoon. Anubis still sat on the same spot in the tiny den. May also sat on her spot and just stared horrified at him. Her eyes were still wet, but she didn't shear an single tear. Maybe there is no hope for her to make him remember, and that's just it... She was about to be eaten by a stranger who happened to be her friend.
"Back at the mountain... I wouldn't mind being eaten by you..." May whimpered, which caught Anubis' attention. "But now... You are no longer that Anubis I know... It's still scared me just to think about it!" she shouted in despair.
But Anubis chuckled and then smirked with greedy eyes, "So you finally accepted your fate. I can hardly wait for the moonrise." he said happily.
But May don't want to die like this. She can't do anything, but to say out loud that she wishes that she never told him to eat her in order for him to survive, or she wishes that they never should have crossed over the mountain etc.
But Anubis didn't pay much attention and stared at the meadow with uncaring eyes. She finally started to cry and knew inside that there is no hope at all. Anubis is long gone and she will be alone again. She really wishes that she never was friends with him. She even wishes that he didn´t save her from the wolves. Everything might be different, if they never met...

"I wish... I wished we never met in that stormy night!" she cried out loud, which actually finally caught his attention.

Anubis was silence with big surprised eyes. "What... did you say..." he mumbles quietly. May looked at him with tears floating and a astonished look. "I-I just said that we never met in that stormy night..." she whimpered in tears, "... Remember? That was our password."
"We met in that stormy night?" he whispered to himself. Something sparks in his eyes. He sat liveless and stared at the den wall.

"You said... That we met in that... One. Stormy. Night!"

His eyes was wide open like he was remembering something. His memories flushes around in his mind. His memories of meeting May, their first adventure towards the mountain and their escape from the wolves appeared in his eyes, except for the avalanche part, which was blurred.
Otherwise, he started to remember everything. He closes and opens his eyes in confusion and noticed May. "May?" he mumbled confused. He took some steps towards her while she was crying, but also looking surprised at him. "Where are we? I don't remember anything after the avalanche...".
May glared at him and whispered his name nervously. Anubis gave her a small awkward smirk, but she could see in his eyes that it was him. She began to smile and tears flowing down on her cheeks.

"I've been waiting for you this whole time!" she cried joyfully.

"May!".

"Anu!".

They hugged to each other, while they were crying in joy...

It was already night and the moon was about to rise. May and Anubis were just in time to watch it on their new home, the den.

"You're right. It really is beautiful," May said pretty impressed by the sight.

Anubis nodded and said that he has been waiting to see this with her. "... But it was worth it," he said with a happy smile. May nodded and they said in silence while enjoying the beautiful moonrise.
"Anu..." she called quietly at his name and he looked at her with patient eyes. "We're finally able to be together now... Right?" she asked hopefully. Anubis stared at her, but later smiles as he spoke;

"Yes May... We will always be together. I promised that, didn't I..."
