??? ????? ?? ???? ??

I was floating in a dark abyss, a desolate place filled with nothing but the ambient sounds of silence. I couldn't hear anything. I could feel the
taciturn tranquility of the black void, and the ringing eeriness of the reverberating cacophony of the plane that I was not affected by. I started the breath in, to whip up a smell of nothing, It was like I can't breath, but can still survive without it. The taste of metal and copper was palpable in my red tongue.

The tranquility was soon erupted as an deafening Laugh that echoed through the black box of nothingness. It was discomforting, I forced my ice - cold hooves to cover my throbbing ears. But I can still perceive the disturbing laugh of the mysterious menace, a voice filled with psychotic intent of murder and evil. The sounds of something impaling skin, playfully lodging itself in and through the muscle can be heard reverberating through the void. And the light high pitched giggle was now reverberating with the sounds of disgust.

It was getting worse and worse, I tried to shout, but my voice was muffled, it sounded dead. The darkness started closing in, I could feel it's minatory grasp in my body. I struggled to move, but it was impossible. I tried to breath, but it was like water was being forcefully shoved through my throat and into my lungs, drowning ever so slowly. It was like dying without end, but still the agony was felt. I was now in tears, the darkness now closing into me. Slowly engulfing me within itself, consuming me as I felt its grasp on my hooves.

Then it suffocated me inside.

A faint sound of a raspy, feminine voice screaming for help and and a high pitch laughter, filled with happiness can be heard before fading in my unconscious state. And the sound something metal falling to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~

????? ?? ????? ? ?? ?? ?? ??

"AHHH SHIT!"

I fell of my bed and landed on my back. I was sweating buckets, and breathing heavily. What was up with that dream? I sat up and stared at the ground, trying my best to forget everything from that dream I just had. When I looked up, I was surprised. I did remember that I was in a hospital because of the Rainbow Factory Incident. I was beaten to a pulp and was brought to the hospital because of it. Problem is, I am not in the hospital anymore. I looked around to see wooden drawers on the right side of the room. I looked at my left to some engineering projects that where left unfinished. I looked at my bed to see the same blue blanket and white pillows. Then realization hits me.

I was in my house.

Standing up, I ran to my calendar because I needed to know when I am. I know I jumped, but why? Is there more things I have to put up with? Is there another bullshit debacle that I have to stop, or die in? But the questions go unanswered still, and I arrived at my calendar.

"April 14, 2012" I said in a hushed tone. So I am years away from the Rainbow Factory incident. Which means I am not beaten, not bed ridden, not killed and will not examined or interrogated today. I sighed in relief after the last statement, I really didn't want to tell how I knew of the Rainbow Factory in the first place, she might think I'm crazy because I said I travel through time and space which will raise her red flags so far up and place me in a mental asylum.

I also noticed that it was spring. Which for me, is the worst season in the history of equestria. The reason being that I have to go outside my house. If you know me, I really don't like to go outside. I am an introvert after all so I just spend my time on Engineering Projects, read a couple of books or sleep. Sleep being dominant in my free time. Being spring and it will be the starting point of summer.

It will eventually get hot until even opening the window won't suffice and I'll sweating like a dog.

Sighing, I did the only thing I can do when it was spring. Outside. I grabbed a small sling bag that I use when I carry something small, and my wallet. Placing the wallet in to my bag, I wore it and head to the door to open it. I observed the place, to see nothing different. It was the same thing, same buildings, same ponies everything, I closed the door behind. Celestia's Sun was shining so bright, that I had to cover my eyes so that it doesn't burn my retinas, since I was in a factory where there were no sunlight anywhere. A few minutes after my eyes adjusted, I started to move forward.

Since I jumped back here, I was willing to bet that there will be something disgusting will happen here.

Since the last two jumps, I always found everything in the Main hall's Board. So I am planning to go there to find out what will happen here. I'm not even willing to hope that there nothing will happen here, I already know that it something will happen and begging that nothing is going to happen will only make me more horrified. What better way to face it than to brace for it.

Making my way down town, I was walking fast to make it to the board, and probably get some food from the Local Ponyville Cafe, taking my sweet time there eating a meal. Since it takes a little time to get there, I am ways away from it. I'm going to give myself some time to think. There where two things lingering in my mind after I woke up.

What was that dream all about? Why does that scream sound so familiar to me?

I can't seem to forget that dream. Like it really happened to me, but it also didn't. I can remember that everything was dark, and I could also remember what I felt during that. It was silent and it had ambiance I could feel like I was floating, a taste of something metalic in my mouth. But then, something ... Something broke that silence. It was some kind of Guffaw that I have heard a lot of times, but can't point my hoof on it. Then, the sounds ... the sounds of something sharp lacerating itself in flesh, the sounds of something cutting and tearing through muscle, then a light giggle was next. I ... tried to struggle, to scream for help. The dream, was all so vivid, so surreal.

Then that voice, it was the voice I have heard before I was stuck on a hospital bed. The voice that will haunt me for ages to come. The voice that made me doubt the nature of the pegasi for years to come.

Dash's Voice

She was shouting for help, I could feel its desperation, I could hear her pain. Then a sound of something metal that fell onto the ground. Then I awoke. Screaming and falling to the ground in cold sweat.

It was saying something, the dream was saying something and I know what it was trying to tell. The sounds of something metal etching something through my coat, the struggle to get out of there, and the pain and desperation of dying. It was all connected to the only incident that fucked me up more that I could imagine. The one that started me in this adventure of a lifetime.

It was th -

Something hit my face when I was walking, and it hit me hard. I fell back on my haunches and I rubbed my face with my hooves, as my face was swelling with pain. Must've hit something, like a wall? Or is it something else?

It better not be a pony, I really should stop spacing out when I am trying to walk in a village filled with other ponies. Feeling the pain on my face was bearable, I looked up to see what or who I slammed my face too. Although it was a little blurry.

I focused my eyes to see something to my dismay, a Light Pink Pegasus with a green mane and tail, her mane had flat bangs and it was long that some of her mane hung at the side of her neck and next to her right front hoof. She had a cloud as a cutie mark and was rubbing her eyes with her forehoof, perhaps she was in pain. She then stopped doing it, then looked at me.

Only to Inhale sharply and widened her eyes.

"Ahh!my glasses!" She said in a soft voice but in a panicked manner, kind of like a voice of someone who was shy and awkward.

I do know the feeling since I am that kind of pony since I was young, so I could understand the feeling of not having much self esteem to talk loudly, or talk at all.

She scurried off the the floor, chanting "Where is it" over and over again. I looked over my left just behind her to see Red Prescription Glasses on the ground. I stood up, picked up the glasses and touched her shoulder as she was still desperately trying to find her glasses.

She flinched and looked behind her slowly. She looked at my hoof, which had her glasses.

I just hoofed the Glasses to her. She hesitated to get it, but did so anyways. She then wore it on her ... and still somehow sticks on her face. At first, she smiled because she can finally see again. And since she can see again, she noticed that I was in front of her with a confused glance. Her happy expression the turned to shock as soon as she saw me, and why I am in front of her.

"I'm sorry!" She said out loud "I'm so sorry for Hitting you mister, are you okay?"

"Uhmm, I'm fi -"

"If I was looking at where I was going, I wouldn't bump on you like that, I hope I didn't injure you"

"No no, It's fine -"

"I'm so sorry for bumping into you like that, I hope you can forgive me for being a klutz. If it means anything, I can compensa -" She stopped as a purple hoof, slowly and harmlessly touched her mouth. Prompting her to stop. I sighed.

"Easy there, no need to apologize that much. I did bump into you first, and I did space out so I'm sorry too. If I was paying attention on to where I'm going and not be like some Idiot in the street, I wouldn't bump into you in the first place" I explained meekly, as I removed my hoof off her mouth. I really need to go to the board fast. Before she could speak up and retort to what I had said, I spoke first

"I guess that I am annoying you now. I should just leave you alone and let you do your business. See you around I guess?" I said, then quickly walked off to Ponyville Main hall.

I encounter was quite embarrassing. I really should watch where were going next time to avoid confrontations like this to happen again.

Way to make a first impression Tinker.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Ponyville Mane Hall : Bulletin Board, April 14 2012, Saturday ?:?? ?M

I arrived at the Bulletin Board in over, maybe 10 or 20 minutes of walking. But finally I arrive there, it was steaming hot outside considering it was high noon. I was sweating and almost dehydrated, I really need to hurry it up and finish this scan of the Fucked up Fiasco. I'll just call it the F-U-F for short since swearing in public usually is frowned upon.

I scanned the entire board, left and right to see keywords like Missing and more stuff of the like. I really wanted to not have a FUF today, at least give me a break. I really am desperate am I?

I shook my head and continued to scan the entire thing again. I widened my eyes, Fortunately there wasn't anything that assembled a FUF, just job applications, updates, news and so on. I didn't really care much about them. That means that nothing will happen in this Time!

Unfortunately, I can't be sure now that there aren't any leads that can lead me to the FUF, or to know if there is or isn't one, which makes my prior point void.

I sighed, It was getting hotter and hotter and I really needed some water. So I spread my wings and took off to find the Ponyville Cafe where I always eat and contemplate in. I really need to know for sure if anything will happen today, but when I do I the dream keeps on popping up like some important clue in front of my face. Something I should remember before I go and jump in the find the FUF.

The heat was so hot now, that it already reached its highest peak, good thing I found that Cafe just ahead so I hurried down and landed just ways away from it. Don't want to put dust in the customers food now do I? There are some people eating just outside the actual store so I have to respect them.

Walking in the opening of the fence, I found a vacant seat and table so I went in on it. I sat comfortably on a pile of hay and began to think.

The FUF is going to pop up one way or another, and I am going to find out. I waited patiently until somepony to take my orders came my way.

"What would you like to order sir?" The waitress asked, I just told them that I wanted a Daffodil Sandwich and a glass of water. She then nodded and proceeded to go back inside the Cafe. I sighed, crossed my hooves on the table and rested my head on them. I decided to rest easy and patiently wait for my meal.

Facing the crowd ponies going with their days Just thinking about somethings that was lingering in my mind for quite some time, what will happen to my life? My job? Everything I strived for? I guess only time can tell.

It's funny right, I'm only an awkward engineer, just trying to live life as I want to. Then something made my life curve to an entirely different direction, being killed and saving an entire factory filled of pegasi that will kill them for rainbows. It really is funny now that I think about it, an awkward pony engineer saving ponies, Like some hero, or a deus ex machina of a situation, a gary stu of a story which sucks a load of horseapples. Comedy Gold.

I sighed continued to face the ponies going about with their everyday lives, while I'm sitting here, probably will never live a normal life ever again. I'll never be something, like a dad! I'll never have a marefriend in my life, somepony to love and swear my life too. I'll never have a kid to care off, and be proud off when I grow old. I'll be stuck in this, this string of situations I have to endure and stop.

I wonder if there is an end to all of this, I want to have a normal life! I want to have my struggles as an adult back! My repetitive, mundane lifestyle back! I don't want to put up with all of this!

I just at least want a friend to be with me, that's all I want to endure all of this things in my life. But, to be honest, I do not want to drag anypony with me in this falling void.

"Your order Sir" I heard a mare said, I raised my head to see the waitress bring the plate and place it in front of me, as well as a glass of water. I nodded and she smile, then walked off to attend to another costumer somewhere. I then looked at my plate to see a daffodil sandwich.

I may not be an expert, but looked like well - made Sandwich, it had enough mayonnaise to have an outline, but not much to spill and fall off the plate. The yellow daffodils, four of them, the petals is seen through the four tips of he bread, it was healthy and tasty looking.

My stomach decided to be impatient, and really wanted that to be inside of him. With nothing to lose, I grabbed the sandwich and took in a big, chunk of food into my stomach. I was delighted at the taste of the sandwich, it was really good. It gave me a small smile and bit on it again, and again. Until there was nothing there, I drank the glass of water whole, and inhaled in. I was about to order another one, but I saw something that shock me for a small bit.

It was Rainbow Dash, slowly flying ahead of us. Her eyes was ragged, like she was scared to where she was going. She kept muttering something, I really can't hear it, but I read her lips to. She kept on saying "CupCakes" over and over again. Then she went out of my sight. My eyes then turned narrow because she was going to the direction of SugarCube Corner, and since Dash's voice was heard in my dream, I grew suspicious on what is happening.

I went to my slingbag to get my wallet. Grabbing 6 of my bits and quickly placed them on the table, I placed my wallet back to my Slingbag and started running towards SugarCube Corner, which I presume where Rainbow Dash will go. This may also be the location of the FUF, who knows? If I am the only pony to remember what will happen after I die, then I should be the only one to stop this.

I should be right, Right?

~~~~~~~~~~

PonyVille: SugarCube Corner, April 14, 2012, Early Afternoon

I arrived on the outside of SugarCuber Corner just after 3 or 4 minutes Rainbow Dash came in. I really wanted to make some distance between me and Rainbow Dash to not raise any suspicion, from Rainbow Dash and of the citizens of Ponyville. I went up the staircase to go in the door. I was hesitant at first, but did so anyway.

Opening the pink entrance door, I looked around the place. The place was so empty, so barren. The chairs and tables of the place where empty, literally nopony is here. Because the place was barren, I could hear a conversation at the kitchen that was behind the counter. I already expected the FUF to happen here, I already did the connections and I am sure of it. Problem is, I don't know what will happen, is it some supernatural bullshit that I will never like?

With an open mind and a silent but hesitant sigh, I went behind the counter to push my ear to the wall, to amplify what they are saying.

I listened closely to the two ponies converse to whatever they are doing, also being vigilant as to what is happening inside too.

"just get away, getawaygetaway!" Somepony with a raspy voice yelled, and is also hyperventilating. I knew that the FUF is going to happen here and now. I could here her trembling, crying and terrified, and that's all I needed to know about the happening of the FUF.

Then I heard something metal removed from it's holder, something like a knife. Rainbow was hyperventilating even more now, and she began to stutter when she speaks.

"Just leave me alone...please, Pinkie-Pie...just *hic* leave me alone!” Rainbow Dash in between sobs. It was silent for a couple of more minutes until Pinkie giggled, I knew it will happen, and it will happen soon. What do I do? What the FUCK do I do?! Do I save her but risk dying? or learn for the next one! Why the fuck do I want to save Pinkie anyway! All she gave me before all this happened was her torturing me for cupcakes! If anything, I should let Dash just kill her instead!

“Oh Dash, you silly filly! You got me good with that one! Never one to turn down an opportunity to prank, hu-” Then something metal striking muscle was heard, a stab! I instantly stood up and poked my head through the kitchen, all though hesitantly.

I saw that a tray of cupcakes on the floor that has been dropped, I saw both of them facing towards each other, Rainbow Dash had a knife on her hooves, which said knife had blood on it, Pinkie Pie had a large cut on the side of her cheek, blood was dripping down and it's now making a small pool of blood on the floor. Pinkie was in shock to what Rainbow did, and Rainbow was crying even more. I was in shock, It was about to happen, I had to think fast before it really does.

“D-dash...wh-"

"I told you *hic* to stay away...WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST STAY AWAY!?” Something in me snapped. It happened in such impulsive manner, but it happened nonetheless. When I saw the desparation and pain in the mare's eyes, something inside me snapped. It's not that Rainbow was a killer, it was like she was suffering in the inside.

The Dream!

I stood up and ran to Pinkie. I then screamed my lungs out, to try and save Pinkie Pie. This caught Pinkie's Attention and looked at me. But Rainbow Sprung into action, Wailing and shouting as she was pointing the knife to Pinkie and was about to stab her on the neck. Since I had a running start, I quickly jumped to pounce Pinkie away from the knife, to hit myself.

What am I even afraid of anyway? If I die, I just restart anyways right? I've seen it happen five times already! So dying here doesn't really change anything other than, Pinkie is saved and I die. Then when I wake up again, I could change this and maybe save everypony, even Dash! That settles it then, I get why I am here now. My job is to stop debacles and save the ponies who are getting killed, using the information before I die, I could always use that to my advantage! No one will remember what happens anyways!

My hooves connected to Pinkie Pie, shoving her away to the other side of the room. I then looked to my right to see Rainbow Dash. Then not for a few milliseconds, the knife connected at the right side of my body, just above the wing and impaled itself deep inside it.

The pain the erupted and I groaned in pain, because of the inertia, and the push that needed to lodge the knife to my body, instead of going straight. I started to curve, and slid on the floor until I hit the floor and landed at the left side of my back , gravity met and I landed on my stomach. I looked at the right side of myself to see a knife, to see a pool of blood slowly forming itself and staining me with it. I was starting hyperventilating, there was a fucking knife at my side!

The adrenaline rush then wore off and my realization of what happened arrived through my train of thought. The pain exploded at my side and was getting worse and worse by the second. I couldn't bear it anymore so I screamed, screamed for the pain to stop.

"AGHHHHH! HELP ME! I JUST GOT STABBED THE FUCKING PAIN IS UNBEARABLE! OH DEAR CELESTIA HELP ME!" I yelled, with the intention to alert the ponyvillians. I was successful, as a group of hoof steps was heard. I was starting to lose consciousness as the blood loss was starting to get to me.

"What is going on here!" A Blue Stallion with notes as his cutie mark, NoteWorthy, exclaimed. Then the group gasped when they had a sight at Pinkie. I looked at the group, to see 4 or 5 ponies looking down on me. the three I could recognize, but not the two, but It was too blury to see anything infront me. and my ears are starting to sink as well.

"Ra - Rainbow D-Dash St-Sta-Stabbed him! SHE STABBED HIM!" Pinkie Screamed, The room was silent, save from Rainbow Dash's Sobs. Rainbow Dash was sitting on her haunches and stared at her bloodied hooves with dilated eyes and mouth sightly ajar. Tears now streaming in her eyes and her sharp breaths became more and more audible.

"I'm going to go get Twilight, Some of you help the poor Stallion and Pinkie Pie!" A mint green mare, Lyra, quickly said, then rushed off outside. The ponies then went to Pinkie Pie to check on her, a pony rushed off outside, saying something about hospitals. A stallion then went to me, he looked at the wound in my side. Everything was getting blury and blury, and my breathing is starting to slow. The pain was now gone, I can't feel anything know.

"He's not going to make it" An Orange stallion, Caramel I think, whispered when he inspected me, he looked at me with sympathy and pain because he wasn't there in time. I heard a loud thud somewhere at my right, I looked to see a red prescription glasses on the floor, presumably dropped.

Even though that I was to tired to think right now, seeing that reminded him the same pony that bumped into him this morning, With all my strength I looked up to the cause of the loud thud. To see a pink pony with green mane passed out on the floor, one of the ponies that was helping Pinkie Pie got to her and yelled something at the others, then the pony went to the fainted pony.

I didn't hear what it said because I passed out from the bloodloss and the pain.

~~~~~~~~~~

???? ?? ????? ?? ???

My eyes groggily open, with some wet tears in my eyes and a ragged breath. Wiping them away I sat up, to see a black and dark room. I could barely see anything in the room, and it was awfully quite here too. With nothing to do, I stood up to get more details in the room. I squinted my eyes to and found some of the silhouettes of the place, I could barely draw out a table, a hanging light that is hanging on top of a vertical platform.

I was about to walk around to room, but I Heard hoofsteps somewhere, I thought that I have to yell for help, but seeing that this is a jump, I could trust ponies less. Have I gone Cynical? Probably yes.

I stepped back until my flank bumped to a wall. Hearing the hoofsteps going closer and closer, I ducked down taking advantage of the dark. Since my color scheme is dark as well, I could also use that to my advantage. I could hear something rough move, like cement, and a silhouette of a pony. Because of the dark, I could only perceive it's mane, the pony was not walking but instead bouncing. This gave me some resemblance of Pinkie Pie.

I looked even closer to see something slender, a rope or something, and it was dragging another pony on the ground. I couldn't describe her as well but I could tell that she is a pegasus too, because I could see it's wings being dragged along with the body. Something strange suddenly happen, some bright rectangles of white, red and purple was around both of them and I heard a sharp sound of static. They skipped to where One of them is on the platform and the other leaving the room.

The color/static was heard and seen again, and The pony in the Platform is on the woke up. The pony was frantically struggled on the platform, I heard it's breath of panic, although barely. I could hear it speak.

"No! Not Again, NOT AGAIN!" It said, the voice sounded like the voice I heard before I woke up and died. It was Dash's voice. A few seconds from that scream, A black cloud engulfed everything.

Right after it engulfed everything, something caught onto my leg and pulled me back, my body being dragged to the floor. It pulled me till I fell in a hole! I screamed as I was falling.

"WHY! WHY! ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!"

The instant I impacted the floor

~~~~~~~~~~

???? ???? ?????? ?? ????

My eyes snapped open. I was breathing sharply and was sweating cold, but soon calmed down after a few seconds. Another dream huh? This time, it's different too. I sat up to look at my alarm clock, it was 10:32 in the morning and it was warm in the room. I stood up and went to my calendar. It was April 14 2012, I jumped back from death.

I sighed, it was Rainbow Dash again huh? Stabbing his friend for some insane reason. I walked to one of my drawers to get a towel. Closing the drawer, I walked to the door of my bathroom. I really needed something to remove all of this stress inside of me, and a relaxing, hot shower is what I am thinking right now. Stepping in the bathroom, I hung my towel in the wall hanger? Honestly I don't know what its called but I really didn't care.

I stepped in the shower and turned it on. The warm water impacting my face, the feeling felt great. As the water was splashing its warm and relaxing self in me, I grabbed my shampoo and began applying it to my hoof. I placed my hoof on my mane and began scrubbing it till foamy suds appeared in my hair.

What was the meaning of that dream? No, not again, not again is what that pony said, or rather Rainbow Dash. Let me get a step back, some pony pulled her and placed her on a vertical platform. Vertical Platform, Vertical Platform!

I stopped moving for a few seconds, as flashbacks of the time where I was in a Vertical Platform, strapped there and struggled there. And, being played there by your sadistic Pink Pony. Using as ingredient to make cupcakes, But it wasn't me on the Vertical Platform. It was somepony else.

And that pony was Dash.

She was the one struggling on that platform. No, not again, Not again! Did she experience this already? A lot of times, experiencing a repetitive nightmare? I think that is the reason why she did this to her close friend? It might still a speculation on my behalf here, for one is that I am not Luna. I can't tell if it's Dash's Dream, or my Dream.

I might answer the latter, for one I don't know Rainbow other than I was her classmate back in flight school. And my experience with Pinkie Pie would cause such scenario, and my last encounter with Rainbow Dash in the Factory might interfere and placed her there.

I sighed, after rinsing my shampoo off my mane, tail and body. I stepped off the shower, and took the towel off the hanger and started to dry myself using the towel. A few more seconds of rubbing the white towel on my head, I looked at the mirror to see a poofy mane. I started to chuckle a bit, I did look ridiculous.

A few Minutes more and I was completely dry and clean. I stepped out the bathroom and walked out. Now what I'm planning right now is to go and warn Pinkie about Rainbow Dash, to do that I have to go and Physically talk to her, Inside the Place where I once died under it. I cringed, but still Stallioned up anyway. If I want this to end, then I have to stop Rainbow Dash from Killing Pinkie. Then another jump, and I am going to be in another Tartarus.

I sighed, I was already motivated to the my mission. So I went to my door and opened it. You know? The Bright colors in this day will contrast at the horrendous fucked up thing that will happen in the near future. I now realized that I should enjoy and appreciate the small little things in life, even though if it's insignificant the most littlest of thing that is happy is the best thing for me. Considering my situation, every little thing is the best thing for me.

With a small smile, I trudged along trail towards the Bakery.

~~~~~~~~~~

PonyVille: Sugarcube Corner, April 14, 2012, 11:32 PM

The Sugarcube Corner's peak of business is here. Since it was almost Lunch, alot of ponies are here to take their lunch. When I saw alot, I mean there is a freaking tall line that connected outside that not only signified that Pinkie was busy, but that it was only Pinkie that ran this today which came to me with a surprise.

I was about to line up with the ponies, but being the doofus I am, I forgot my bits. I didn't intend to line up with the ponies anyways, I was only here until Rainbow Dash arrived so I really didn't need that much attention too.

So I am finding a seat in The bakery, the one that was far back and can see where Pinkie is and what she is doing. I really didn't want other ponies to see me as a stalker so I tried to get less attention. Finding the specific seat that I was trying to find, it was just beside the door of the bakery, so I walked there, sat comfortably as possible, crossing my hooves on the table and lying my head on top of it.

What I could do is nap here and wake up to see if Pinkie Pie is done with her business hours. Ponies might make them see instead of me waiting for Pinkie, It will look like that I am waiting for the line to finish and I'll buy something for sure, they'll shrug and leave me alone. So I did it and took the nap.

This really took into a miserable turn right? This might be the only time where I contemplate about my future, other then when I was back in college. What was going to happen to me? Will this go on forever and ever? Mentally destroying me knowing that there will be no end to this? Dying isn't even an option right? I just go and jump in the time before I die and it just repeats.

I normally don't let this faze me because there is always a reasonable solution to a problem. But this! This was beyond reason!

Let me recap, I was just trying to drink with my friend, then suddenly a glowing stone of some sorts just magically appear with no explanation whatsoever! Just here poof, and that stone changed everything in my fucking life. Change my precipitation of death itself since I already experienced dying for what? four, five times?

There should be an answer, there should be. Everything happens for a reason, that is one of my beliefs and a motto of mine. To think that something happened because it just happened is utter bullshit, simply Illogical.

I really should stop swearing, in my thoughts and in my words. It really is a bad habit and it's just simply immoral to cuss everywhere I go. This probably should be one of the effects of this adventure, because I kept swearing from the last jumps, I now swear on impulse.

"Uhmm" I was about to fall into the depths of darkness called sleep, till somepony spoke and tapped my hoof, I was trying to ignore it but it seemed persistent. It prompted me to groan and look at the perpetrator. I looked up and faced the pony that disturbed my slumber.

I was quite surprised because the pony was the one who I bumped onto last jump. She appears to have a curious face pasted onto her face and she began to ask since she already got my attention.

"Are you eating here, or buying something?" She asked me with a soft voice, I looked at her with slight annoyance. I thought that everypony would think that I was napping because I was waiting for the ponies to stop lining up, apparently I was wrong. I sighed but I still answered her.

"I'm just waiting for the line to drop down so that I could buy something from Pinkie Pie. I really didn't like standing on line so I felt that napping would be the best thing to wait upon" I said, then went back to sleeping mode. Resting my head on my crossed hooves. She then tapped me again on the hoof, which by then I looked up again.

"Well, it's going to close up soon because Pinkie's going to have her break after one o'clock" She said, I was about to say something but she stuttered another sentence "And s-she's going to meet up with s-s-somepony in her break also too"

"Hmm, well I'll not wait until it's her closing hour then, I'll just wait for the line to shrink up then I'll be going there with you all" I replied, then went back to taking a nap mode. Since I didn't feel the tapping sensation. I already assumed that she was gone and off the go in the line. I just sighed and closed my eyes. Beginning to drift off to dream wonderland.

Consciousness stirred waking me up. It appeared that I drifted to a fortunate, dreamless sleep. And that, somepony was poking my hoof, again. I groaned to myself and turned my head a bit to see who the pony who prodded me till I woke up. Look and behold, it was the pony the I bumped from last jump.

She was still poking me, until she thought I was awake, she didn't notice that I was already awake though. I looked a little behind her to see that there was nopony in line anymore, either everypony took their treats back home and nopony ate here or they did but I awoke little ways after they left.

Don't really need to think about the insignificant thing. I sighed and lifted my head, the poking and prodding was getting on my nerves.

"What now?" I asked her calmly, she then placed her hoof down.

"Uhmm, There's nopony in line now. So uhh, are you going to go and buy something or no?" She asked me. What was up with this mare? Could she like, mind her own business or something? I know that I bumped into me, and I think she also saw me die. But I doubt that she would remember that, so what was up?

I sighed and stood up and went to the counter. Seeing Pinkie Pie smile wide there, some slight flashbacks of Pinkie Pie torturing me flashed, but I shook them off mentally. There was no way that Pinkie Pie was like that, if my thoughts of the universe and time is true then this Pinkie is the same old Pinkie that made my birthday, in my original Universe. The happy - go - lucky, run of the mill pony in Ponyville.

I was now nearing the the counter, and Pinkie was there, still with a big smile on her.

"Hello and Welcome to SugarCube Corner, You're our last customer for this afternoon" She giggled a bit. I was at the counter now, and she was ready to get what I was about to order, sadly I don't I have anything to order since I have no bits. "What can I get for you?" She asked me.

"I don't have anything to order Pinkie" I told her, she was about to say something but I interrupted her "I'm hear to tell you something Important" After I said that, everything was silent. I looked at Glasses Mare and Pinkie was curious, and Pinkie was uncharacteristically silent and was now listening to what I was about to say.

"Are you meeting with somepony today?" I asked, she then nodded. "Let me tell you, that pony is very sad, to the point where she will go and attack when provoked" - I could hear Glasses Mare's sharp breath, I sighed and continued -"The pony is very sad, I think it's because she has very disturbing nightmares of yo- "

Somepony opened the door the front door behind us. The three of us looked at the front door to see a deadpanned Rainbow Dash.

This jump should validate why Rainbow Dash is like this, so I am trying to jump the gun here. Since the signs where all pointing out to Rainbow Dash having nightmares about the Cupcakes incident. All the signs pointed it out, in my dreams there were sounds of muscle being torn and cut apart with something metal, I'll speculate that its a scalpel cutting out the flesh of one's , or in this case, her cutie mark. The giggling might be Pinkie Pie being the torturer.

All of this is still speculation, so this jump should prove everything to fact. Since Rainbow is there, I could finally prove all of this.

"I'm here Pinkie" Rainbow said, in an impassive tone, with a tinge of fear in it. I also noticed that she has bags under her eyes, she didn't have that much sleep then huh? Pinkie was the one to reply to Rainbow Dash, and apperantly she was now happy and bouncy before I said those things before.

“Rainbow! You're finally here! Oh I've been so worried about you! You've been all mopesy-dopesy so I thought I'd ask you to come visit me so I could make you feel extra-super-special and cheer you up! But then you didn't show up when I thought you were going to and I was all sad that you were going to stay cooped up in your house all day but then you came in and now you're here and now we can have some fun!” Pinkie said in delight, I looked back at Rainbow Dash to see her shake her head and look at Pinkie Pie again.

“Whatever, Pinkie. What did you want me here for?” Rainbow Dash asked after she stumbled forward a bit. Pinkie then went inside the to get something from the drawers and ovens. Rainbow Dash went in, but before she did, she looked back at us for a short while. She then looked at me and Glasses Mare with fear for a second, then quickly went inside. Glasses Mare and I looked at each other with confusion.

"We should go, we wouldn't want to disturb them right?" Glasses Mare told me. I just continued looking at the door. I just stood still and waited, she went walking to the door. Until we heard something.

“No...no...nonononononoNONONONO!” Rainbow yelled, me and Glasses Mare ran to the entrance of the kitchen and went in.

“N-no...no, I don't want 'em. Not gonna l-let you...lemme out of here, LET ME OUT OF HERE!” She yelled even more, We only watched the scene unfold right in front of us. Pinkie merely tilted her head to the side quizzically, setting the tray down and lifting a few of the cakes out and plating them, bouncing over to the shivering Rainbow Dash and offering the plate to the pegasus.

I SAID I DON'T WANT THEM! I know what you're doing, it's not going to work!” Rainbow Dash said after smacking the plate of cupcakes off Pinkie Pie's hooves. Glasses Mare's gasped and Pinkie Pie frowned at the discarded cupcakes. But she just shrugged at it.

“Maybe you don't like avocado icing? That's okay! I made plenty more so we can make some to your liking! Is that okay, Rainbow Dash?” She glanced back, the pegasus pony letting out panicked whimpering noises, eyes fixated on the pony before her, pupils nearly pinpricks as fear and adrenaline coursed through her veins. She was staring holes between Me, Glasses Mare and Pinkie Pie. She was breathing heavily, as if she was seeing something that was terrifying, but only she can see it.

“Get away..." She whispered. This made us even more confused.

"What?" Glasses said in a hushed manner.

..just get away, getawaygetaway...” She was hyperventilating now and is staring at Pinkie Pie with bloodshot eyes. She started crying when she saw the cupcakes, this just proved everything I thought off! Cupcakes, she dreamed about the cupcakes torture! Pinkie Pie was the killer in her dreams and this is the reason why she is scared and is now mentally unstable! I have to say something, anything!

But I froze in place and a lump formed in my throat. She then walked to get the nearest knife on it's holder. I had to do something, right here right now!

“Just leave me alone...please, Pinkie-Pie...just *hic* leave me alone!" Rainbow Dash said, in between sobs. She was holding the knife and pointed it at her.

“Oh Dash, you silly filly! You got me good with that one! Never one to t -" Pinkie got interrupted, and I tackled Rainbow Dash at her side, successfully dropping the knife off her hooves and shoving her across the room. Pinkie and Glasses Mare gasped in shock after the deed has been done.

"Rainbow Dash! I don't know what happened to you, but you need to get a grip!" I yelled at Rainbow Dash, she was still crying and sobbing. Until she spoke up.

"But, I c-c-can't! I *hic* tried t-to brush it off as some nightmare! but it still keeps on going back, and repeating and repeating. IT NEVER STOPS!" Remember the time when I told you that Rainbow was more athletic and healthier than me? Well, it still applies here, she punched me in the face so hard. That I was off of her in mere seconds. When I was blurry, she tried to punch me again, but this time I dodged it.

I hurried to get outside of the kitchen, and go the where the tables and chairs are. Since Glasses Mare went to Pinkie Pie to aid her. I went outside the kitchen. I was about to get outside the kitchen door, but Rainbow Dash tackled me, we landed to where the dining room of the store.

"Y-you were there too! You were there e-eating me alive! Along with Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity" Her voice then started to crumble, I took this as an opportunity to push her off. But her hoof beat me to it, she punched me in the face. Again, and again. Until Glasses Mare went beside her, trying to pull her off of me.

"Rainbow Dash! Please stop this right now!" She wailed, tears welling in her eyes as she desperately tried to pull her off me. She shoved Glasses' hoof with her hoof and screamed at her!

"A-and you! You just stood at the sidelines watching my f-friends e-eat me Alive! ALL OF YOU!" She then get off me and pushed Glasses Mare to the floor. Trying to get a breather, I was going to stand up and as well as Glasses Mare, but Rainbow Dash grabbed one of the chairs in the shop and bashed Glasses Mare's face with it.

She went flying across the room, blood streaming off her mouth and nose, glass shards flying with her, some injuring her face and body and some on the floor.

Rainbow Dash dropped the bloodied chair to the ground, she then grabbed a larger glass shard and ran hit the unconscious mare, wailing and shouting when getting there. But I stood up in time and flew to tackle Rainbow Dash. Tackling Rainbow Dash, I tackled her completely derailing her from the Mare. But when I tackled her, I felt something lodge itself inside of me.

Landing on the floor at the other side of the, I was looking at Rainbow Dash face to face. She then pushed me, and I landed at my right. She then looked around to see Pinkie Pie watching the scene unfold. She then yelled and went to tackle Pinkie Pie. I would go and save her, but I looked at my chest to see a glass shard impaling itself in me.

"This is for all you've done to me! You SADISTIC BUTCHER!" Rainbow yelled, she continued to beat Pinkie to a pulp again and again. But I didn't care, I was losing my breathing slowly, and was getting tired. I was going to die again. Atleast I got some information in this jump.

Then everything went black
