Common love, fancy dresses

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'll be changing the view of the story to 1st person. Why? Cause I damn well please, now keep reading.

END OF NOTE.

Darkness.

All I could see was darkness.

“Hello?” I called. “Anypony here?”

“8-bit...” Said a soft whisper.

My body tensed and I started the get scared. Did that voice sound like me?

“8-bit turn around, would you?” Said the voice now clearer.

I turned around and what I saw I couldn't comprehend. I saw myself but my left eye was incredibly scared, it was like... I don't know 6 inches long and his iris was pure white. My... I mean his... the other me's snout had 3 slashes in it. He was also slightly burned on his right shoulder.

“Scary, isn't it?” The other me said.

I nodded.“So, uh how did you get them?” I asked, trying not to sound scared.

“Oh, fire, panic, and a cat don't mix well, trust me we've been through that.” He said with a smirk.“But enough about that, lets talk about my purpose here...” He said as he took 2 chairs that appeared out of nowhere.“Now sit.”

I sat faster than rainbow dash flying.

“Ok, lets get to the point.” He said as he grabbed 2 tea cups. That too came out of nowhere, he offered one to me.

“Uh, no thanks, got any water.” I said rejecting the tea.

“Yes.” A long, awkward silence followed.“ What, you want me to spawn one for you? There is a fridge over there.” He said pointing his hoof beyond me were a fridge lied.

As I got back to my seat with my water bottle I wondered if I was gong crazy.

“No, you're not going crazy,” he said as I snapped back to reality. Was he reading my mind.

“You do notice we are the same person, right?” I nodded finally realizing. “Now back to the business at hoof.” he said as he rubbed his two hooves together. “You've just developed a sixth sense to detect danger that's all, kind of like a spidey sense.”

“Hmm, sounds kinda coo-”

“But,” There's always a but, isn't there. “With that blessing comes a heavy burden.”

“Wh-what burden?” I stammered nervously.

“All in good time.” He said as he presented a crazy looking grin in my face. I then noticed he also had a scar in his left side of his lips. “Well I think it's about time you wake up.” He said as he looked at his pocket clock. “From your coma that is.”

The water I was drinking just fell out of my mouth. “Im in a coma?”

“Yeah but only for a week or two.” He said as he was preparing some kind of potion. “Now drink this.” He said giving me the potion. “This will take you back.”

I gulped it in one go.

The Hospital.

I woke up. As I opened my eyes I saw the most cutest sight. Rarity was reading to Sweetie Belle.

“Rarity...” My voice came real low kind of an old pony's voice. “Rarity...” I called a little higher. She turned her head up. Her eyes were red, maybe because she was crying, and she didn't have any make up on. “Rarity...” This time it was my normal voice. As I saw her face lit up with joy she woke up Sweetie from her half sleep-half awake trance and they both runned to me.

“Uncle 8-bit you woke up!!” She screamed as she leaped to me. I'll tell ya something she may look like a marshmallow, but she sure as hay didn't weight like one. She landed square on my chest. As she turned around to her right side I saw something that made my heart stop. She had a scar on her right cheek, not a big one though. As I turned to Rarity she kissed me on the lips very passionately.

“EWWWW!” Groaned Sweetie Belle. “No kissy infront of the filly.”

I smirked.

Rarity broke the kiss. “Sweetie, darling, tell the others Uncle 8-bit has finally woken up.”

“OK.” She said jumping off the bed and leaving the room.

“So, I suppose you want me to tell you why you have those bandages.”

“What Bandages?” I said as I grabbed a mirror on a nearby desk.

As I looked into the mirror I saw what she meant. Most of my face was bandages. The only parts of my face that weren't covered were: my right eye, my mouth and my ears. I took good long look at my self and put the mirror were I found it.

“The doctor said they were gonna remove the bandages tomorrow.” She said getting all teary eyed.

“Hey, why so sad? I just woke up from a coma and now your crying?” Holding my arms out for a comforting hug (which she gladly accepted). “Well, as you probably remember, it started at my house fire a month ago...”

A MONTH!?! Why that no good lying son of a gun. Wait did just offend my self?

A few minutes later...

“...and then you went through my front door carrying Opal and Sweetie Belle but you were covered in cuts and blood and then you collapsed on the floor.” She began crying as she said those last words.

All I could do was be suprised. I never knew I had the courage to save somepony under that kind of pressure.

I held her close to me trying hard to console her. “Don't worry I'm alive so there is no need to worry.”

She gave me a warm grin. Then she pecked me on the lips.

*ahem*

Rarity and I turned to see all my friends here. “Hope we're not interupting.” Said Twilight carrying a few books with her horn.

“No of course not.” I said as me and Rarity blushed.

“Good, 'cause we brought presents!!” Said Pinkie Pie jumping up high enough to touch the ceiling.

“What presents?” Isaid looking at them.

“These ones.” Said Applejack rolling a cart full of stuff.

Twilight presented her presents first. “I found a few books in my library, and I thought they might interest you.”
She said as she laid down 3 books which were: Narnia, Darklife and Nordic verses.

“Thank you Twilight.” I said taking the books.

“Don't mention it.”

Next came Spike. “Here I bought you this.” He said as he gave me a daedric sword. I thought I was going to faint.

“Wow, Spike! Thanks.” I said examining the sword

“Yeah, yeah no problem.” He said as he positioned himself next to Twilight.

“OOH, I want to be next!” Said Pinkie as she positioned a huge basked filled with cupcakes of all types of flavor.

My mouth watered as a thank you.

“'Kay I thinks is mah turn to present my present” Said Applejack as she lifted up a an acoustic guitar. “Homemade” she said as she gave me the guitar.

I couldn't thank her enough for this.

“No thanks is necessary.” She said giving me a small bump on my left shoulder.

Next came Fluttershy. “Here I made this for you.” She said as she gave me a sweater. “Rarity helped.”

“Oh so this gift is from both of you?” I asked.

“No, baby, I'll give you my present when everyone else finishes.” Rarity said caressing my right cheek.

“Oh, well thank you Fluttershy.” I said.

“No problem.” She said as she went back were she was.

“Ok my turn.” Said Rainbow dash.“ I got you something thats 20% cooler than any of these gifts combined.” She took out a brown package. “Hope you like it.”

As I opened the package I started saying in my mind that this was probably a prank or a picture of her. Boy was I wrong. It was probably the most awesome video game collection in ponykind. The Orange Box. As I opened the case all that happiness burned away. There was a note taped were the disk should have been, it said: “Gottcha >:p” As I closed the tray she started laughing.

“Well, actually Rainbow, the jokes on you,” Rarity said as she saw the note. “why would you buy a game and keep the disk for your self if you don't have the console?”

Rainbow looked as if she was about to blow a fuse. “Fine I'll get the disk. I'll be back in ten seconds flat.” She said as she flew out the hospitals window.

10 seconds later...

“Here.” Rainbow said giving me the disk.

“Thank you Rainbow.” I said sticking out my tongue.

“It looks like it's my turn, come Sweetie lets give uncle 8-bit his gift.” Rarity said as she reached for her gift.

“Your going to like this Uncle 8-bit.” Sweetie said as she jumped in my bed.

“Here, baby, hope you like it.” Said Rarity giving me an bright blue present.

As I opened the box a drawing of me and Rarity with little hearts around us. There was a signature that said: By Sweetie Belle. I got teary eyed.

Below the drawing was another box although it was a bit smaller. The box read: HANDEL WITH CARE, FALLOUT COMIC-CON.

I carefully opened the box. What was in it was beyond description. It was a Pip-Boy 3000.

“How did you get this? This is almost impossible to get.” I said

“I know, it was hard but anything for my lover,”she said putting the device on my wrist. “Now check the notes menu, I put something special for you.”

I checked the notes section, there were two notes. The first one was a picture of the party when me and Rarity were doing a slow dance that had a kiss mark in the corner of the pic. The other one was a poem that read:

“Night was new-throned in Equestria and we did rove

Together in the cool and shadowless haze

That thickened round, at the wild stars to gaze

Ere yet the moon’s red rim had showed above

The pine-trees. For in both our souls did move

The same fond lover-fancy,—that their rays

Were richer for all those who from the ways

Of man's long past had looked at them in love;

And when our glances through their midst did run

From orb to orb of all that seemed most fair,

To fix at last with mutual heed on one

That gloried in the West beyond compare,

It seemed to us that when the day was done,

The spirit of our joy was mansioned there.”

“Rarity this is beautiful.” I said as tears rolled down my eyes. Curse this manly tears.

“Thanks, darling, creating poems is my second hobby.” She said caressing my cheeks.

“*ahem*, Excuse me,” said a nurse in the doorway. “You guys have 5 five minutes, the patients need some sleep.”

“Oh, ok.” Said Twilight.“Come on girls lets leave 8-bit to his rest.”

“You guys go on, I'll catch up.” Rarity said. “Twi can you take Sweetie for a moment, I need to talk to 8-bit.”

“Yeah, sure,” Twilight turned to Sweetie Belle. “C'mon Sweetie Belle, lets go for a walk.”

“Ok!” She said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek and bounced off the bed.

“So, you saw Sweetie's scar?” Said Rarity as she sitting beside me.

“Yeah, how did she get it?” I said as I got comfy.

“Well as you collapsed on the ground I saw Sweetie's right cheek bleeding and I asked her what happened, then she said she tried to get Opal off you when she tried the cat scratched her.” She finished Almost crying.

“And what about Opal?” I asked a bit nervous about what she may say.

“Oh, her, she's in a deep time out.” She said with a hint of anger in her voice. “No gourmet treatment and cage for a 2 months.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought she was going to take her to the pound.

“Excuse me, lady, but visiting times are over.” Said the nurse.

“Oh, ok, well, see you tomorrow?” She said.

“Only if you won't get scared by the scars.” I said with a big grin.

“I promise.” She said as she kissed me.

“Bye.” I said.

“Bye. Love you.” She said as she left the room.

“Love you to-” I was cut of as a grey pegasus busted through the window. “WHO IN CELESTIA'S GREEN EQUESTRIA ARE YOU?”

“Name's Derpy. I have a letter for you from a siiiir... elrafa22, what a silly name.” She said as she gave me the letter. ”Well gotta go!” And she left as quickly as she came.

“Ooookay. Wierd. And who the hay is Elrafa22. Well then, Lets open this up.” I said as I opened the letter. Out came a huge bag of bits and a letter saying:

“This is for you 8-bit dont waste it all in one place.DO NOT REPLY.”

“Wow sir elrafa, that's kind of you.” I said as I folded the paper threw it at the garbage basket. “Now lets see if the radio works on this thing.” I said as I searched for the radio section. “Blue Moon” started to play. Oh man, this is my favorite song.

“ Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for

Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms would hold

I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me"

And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own...”

I fell asleep knowing I was no longer alone.
