“Uhm-yawn” Rarity yawned she felt well rested yet exhausted at the same time.

“Morning sis are you feeling ok?” asked Sweatie worried she might freak her sister out at hearing her voice.

‘huh, mnnnngh auh ?......? huh sigh’ stretched Rarity a blank thought hitting her as she lets her senses wake alongside her. ‘Yawn, sigh’ she let out as the sound of birdsong came through feeling like she was being swathed in a warm blanket as she went to get up feeling weak in the legs. -Oomph- oh whoa yeesh ok take your time darling no rush’ she thought to herself as she immediately falls back to the floor?

‘Huh, why am I on the floor I thought I went to bed? Have I been sleepwalking?’ she questions herself as her eyes began to adjust to the current lighting as she freezes stiff ‘?....?’ why am I here?... Of all places, it has to b… uh, sniffle-giggle Sweatie belle auh mm’ she thought before noticing a frame in front of her as things come back to her. ‘You came to visit me oh darling auh and gave me a gift sniffle’ she contemplates as she begins to remember. ‘but you left me and now I’m all alone’-sob- gasp?!’ She lamented before she’s startled by an all too familiar voice and embrace.

“Morning sis I was wondering when you’d wake you looked so peaceful I didn’t want to disturb you how are you feeling giggle?” asked Sweatie ending with a nervous giggle as she waited to see what her reaction would be hoping for the positive. ‘What am I doing she’s not ready she’s going to freak out’ she thought as she used her magic to hold her sister snuggly.

“Whaah!?” came Rarity as she’s startled upright only to strain herself as she collapses on her side with immediate rapid breath.

“Easy easy it’s me I’m still here remember I said I’m not leaving you not in a million years Rarity please it’s me It’s ok?!” Said Sweatie quickly trying to get her sister to calm and be still as Rarity wears herself out with labored breath. ‘Oh come on! I should have known she’d react like that’ she berated herself as she sees no other option.

“what’s happening I can’t get up?!’ thought Rarity getting a bit frantic as she continues to try and stand but to no avail before familiar voice and warm calming presence came to her senses. ‘Sweatie?’ she questions herself as recollection sets in of the night prior.

“…” uh whah how?” she questions herself as she felt her sisters unmistakable warm calming embrace.

“Rarity it’s me it’s just me it’s ok” tried Sweatie feeling her sister calm a little as she used magic new and old to wrap her sister in a warm firm embrace trying to keep her from pulling a muscle or worse. ‘oh wow, this is… something?’ she thinks going over things as she suddenly feels like she’s sliding into her sister a little bit getting a fleshy feeling around herself.

"In-ex-in-ex-inhale-exhale breathed Rarity in slight hyperventilation. ‘whah, huh, Sweatie? Sweatie Belle?!` thought Rarity as she began to relax as she felt her sister’s presence wash through her. “sweatie?” she murmurs as she lets herself lay limply feeling no reason for mistrust.

“easy it’s ok it’s just me I didn’t mean to startle you I’m sorry um what do you remember from last night?” began Sweatie as she felt her sister curl up and place her hooves on her even though she knew it was her new jewel body she could still feel the tender touch of flesh hooves and fur the sensations bringing a little comfort at the fact that she still could as she listened and waited for her sister to respond hearing her murmuring.

“Sweatie?’ You’re alive oh sweatie I missed you” mumbles Rarity as she recalled the visit last night her sisters words ringing through like a well-missed lullaby as she held what was now identified as her most cherished and loved sister as close and as tight to her heart as she could get it curling up around it in a fetal position.

"are you alright sis?" tried Sweatie as she tries to offer as much comfort as she could.

"Sweatie?" said Rarity unsure of herself as she rolls onto her back and holds the pendant around her neck firmly feeling it's warmth as she recognized her sisters magic and worming presence.

“its ok sis do you remember last night?” began Sweatie as she contemplates where she should take things. ‘ok so I’m talking to my sister my distressed mournful sister alright just take things slow’ she tells herself as she listens for a response.

‘How; was it real; am I still dreaming?’ tries Rarity as she began going over the night prior. “Sweatie belle what did I get you on your fifth birthday?” said Rarity as she thinks. ‘I have to be sure I’m not crazy’ she thought as she waited for an answer.

‘…’ “That’s easy a plushy of you it should be in my bed or oh under my pillow giggle at least that’s where I usually find it or under my bed.” Said Sweatie thinking of the memory as it made her feel warm on the inside.

“...”

“Are you ok sis? It’s me sis; it’s ok it wasn’t your fault I cast it wrong.” Asked Sweatie concerned at her sister's silence as she gently holds her sister in a cradling embrace.

“Sweatie? Sweatie Belle… Sweatie Belle?!” Rarity Began, in doubted hope as she tries to wrap her head around it all. ‘but she-` pondered Rarity her thoughts interrupted by a concerned-sounding voice all to recognize as she struggles to understand.

“-sis?... Are you ok?” Sweatie Asked beginning to grow worried at her sister’s silence.

“Uh, I don’t know?! Sniffle-Sweatie- sniffle?” Rarity began starting to get overwhelmed as hot tears started to flow; she stars at the ceiling. ‘It’s me, sis, I’m inside it; I need your help.’ She remembered.

“It’s ok sis I know this is hard to understand if it helps I’m a bit confused myself; Sis, it took me a while to figure out how to reach you and I’m still learning; I’m sorry it’s all my fault, it’s my fault you had to go through this, it's my fault you closed the boutique my fault it’s all my fault-sniffle au mug auh- IM SORRY?!” Began Sweatie before feeling guilty at what she put her sister through. ‘I should never have cast it; this is a mess, my mess’ she thought going over the traumatic memory.

“…” ‘Sweatie oh Sweetie no it’s not it’s my fault there’s so much it was my responsibility to keep you safe and I… oh darling’ thinks Rarity putting off understanding as she listened to her sister. “No no darling it’s ok I’m here it’s alright please your safe now; home and I’m not going to let anything harm you sweetie ok never I won’t lose you again” began Rarity as she realized it was her by some miracle she had her sister again. ‘I can’t lose you I won’t let it happen!’ she thought defiantly as she hears her sister start mumbling. “Shhh shhh I’m here sissy’s here hmmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm –shhh” soothes Rarity as she felt her sister's energy’s fluctuations recognizing the emotions that seemed to come with them.

“but- Shhh sissy’s here” let out Sweetie as she listened to her sister letting out bottled emotions and fears. As she cried in her sisters embrace. ” it’s all my fault- no Sweetie shhh it doesn’t matter to me so long as I have you I’m happy” countered rarity trying to sooth her sister as best she knew how as she as she set the framed photo she was looking at of her sister and her giving eachother makeovers as she remembers catching her sister with a bang up attempt at makeup remembering the silly and humorable moment before putting it with the others surrounding herself in a precocious moment frozen in time.

“But it does matt-shhh not now it doesn’t” cut in Rarity trying to direct the conversation positively. As she held as snuggly as she could to her sister/jewel, Feeling her sister calm down a little bit. ‘It’s as much my fault for not paying attention as it is yours for casting it, oh darling I’m so sorry I wasn’t there with you’ she thinks as she lays on her side rolling over to look at her sisters bed still standing but black a deep contrast to the white painted frame and colorful furnishings. “I should’ve been there with you I’m sorry,” said Rarity slowly sitting up ‘I can’t believe it, it’s really you; it’s ok sissy’s here and I’m not going to let anything hurt you’ she thought As she subconsciously strokes the pendant she identified as her sister.
“Sob-but… I’m sorry too sis I shouldn’t have cast it without supervision” began Sweetie beginning to feel a little bit better now that everything was out in the open. As she felt about her sister enjoying the warm embrace as she returned it with her own wrapping her sister in her magic and as much love as she could muster the feeling of her sister stroking her, helping her calm down.

“Shhh shhh, what happened?” Asked Rarity trying to steer the conversation more towards figuring things out as she holds her sister trying not to think of how painful being burned alive and exploding was.

“sis I…I’m sorry I- it’s ok darling take your time” tried Sweetie her sister offering her encouragements as flashes of light fire and pain slammed into her causing her to tighten her grasp for a moment feeling her sister rest her hoof on her before stroking her again. “Sis I was…it mngh I can’t I…I don’t know I don’t want to re-remember mgh sniffle it …it hurt… pain… fire and then you then I…I black… voices shadow” tried Sweetie mumbling as flashes of pain and visions began clouding her mind.

“It was… I cast but fire I-shhh-I’m on fire help Rarity! Help meeeee!-shhh sweetie it-RARITY HELP MEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH IT HURTS RARITY! AAAAAAAHH-Sweetie Sweetie Belle I’m right here shhh sissy’s here” Tried Rarity finally getting through as her sister seemed to fall into some sort of relapse. Rarity!? Rarity! I sob I’m sorry I sniffle- shhh it’s ok shhh I’m here sissy’s here shhh shhh-I mngh ah sob sniffle ah sniffle sob I ah i ah sob mnng mnng mngh ah sob-shhh shh sissy’s here your alright it’s over now I’m here” said Rarity as her sister fell apart into a mess of sobs and sniffle the mere feeling of her sisters pain that had transferred to her enough to that her every muscle in her body gained a burning ache as she tries to calm her sister down. “shh easy easy it’s ok I’m here sissy’s here you ok now shh relax shhh just relax it’s all over now I’m here sissy’s here-I’m sorry-I know I know shhh easy it’s ok shhh” continued Rarity as her sister seemed to tighten her grip like she would when she woke her from a fussing bad dream trying to offer as much comfort as she could and wrapping her own magic around her sister in a warming embrace as it seemed to be working.

‘RARITY HELP IT HURTS! FIRE RARITY Rarity Rarity I I’m sorry it’s all my fault I mmmmmhhhh sigh I ah sigh’ thought Sweetie as she heard her sisters voice telling her everything was ok she looks around the fire slowly fading as she feels a warming embrace before recognizing her sisters magic as thing fad into reality again a finale flash as she closes her eyes before opening them to find herself in her sisters embrace slowly remembering where she is and what she was doing sighing as she lets herself fall into it.

‘Shhh oh Sweetie I…I didn’t know oh darling so much pain to go through that and refuse to give up oh Sweetie I swear nothing no shadow things no pain no more’ thought Rarity as she gained some feeling back in her body. “oh darling it’s ok oh Sweetie I had no idea I’m so sorry it’s ok shh shhh I’m here oh my darling Sweetie Belle your alive sniffle” let out Rarity holding back tears as she gave up her doubts a mix of painfully happy tears streaking her face before a long missed warmth began ebbing away the pain as she wrapped herself in it and just held her sister for how long she didn’t care feeling herself relax.

“Mnng sob I love you” got out Sweetie feeling a bit better within her sister's warmth as she held her own offering as much warmth in return as she could.

“Oh darling I missed you so much I love you so much giggle sob sniffle mnng sigh Sweetie Belle auh sigh” let out rarity as she allowed herself to just melt away in her sister's warmth limpening in her sister soft and comforting embrace sigh as the feeling of being reunited with her sister brought her solace.

“I missed you too sis sigh I love you,” said, sweetie, as she felt her sister's warmth as she seemed to be falling into some form of torpor deciding to rest along with her as they both fell into silence wrapped in each other’s warmth, magic, and love.
