To Make Whole Again

I had just fallen asleep in the makeshift bed Twilight made for me in her basement. It wasn't to bad and the mattress felt like it was made out of feathers. It did get a little chilly in the basement but all in all, it was okay.

I opened my eyes to find I was in the bed still. I got up and on my way up the stairs I checked my phone. Ugh..I hate waking up so early in the morning. It was about 7:30 in the morning and I really didn't want to be up but I know I have too. But I got up anyways.

"Hey Twilight," she was sitting on a wooden chair at a desk in the corner in the living room. Once she heard me she turned around and waved at me with a smile. She turned back around and sat at the desk.

"I'm going to go see my mother before the day starts. I'll be right back!" I called to her but she didn't do anything. She just sat there looking at an empty desk. I shrugged it off and walked out the door.

The trip to the hospital was faster than the last time I remember it. It might just be that I had a lot of things to think about on the way there or that none of the elements were here to keep me company. Speaking of which, I thought, were is everybody? I stopped in the middle of the dirt road. My whole trip to the hospital and I had not seen a single pony out and about. Oh well, I shrugged it off and continued walking towards the hospital.

I walked into the hospital, looking around there was a white tiled wall, floor, and ceiling all around me. In front of me were more ponies, they all had the same look and colors though. There was stallions with a brown coat and a brown mane and tail. The others were mares with a white coat and a light pink mane and tail. All of their faces were blocked by a mask type of thing so I couldn't see them properly. I did however recognize the mare to be Miss Redheart. There multiple of the same looking ponies running in and out of one room. Out of curiosity I stepped forward.

I poked my head into the doorway to look inside the room, that way I didn't get in the way of the ponies running in and out. My heart stopped at the sight that I was seeing. Inside was my mother laying on a bed with white sheets and covers around her. To her left was the heart monitor and it was showing that she was flatlining. No! As soon as I saw this I ran to her and fell to my knees beside her, my eyes started getting watery. I grabbed ahold of her hand and held it tightly, hoping for a miracle.

"No, No, NOOO" I started crying and yelling into the hand I was holding "I should've been here, I should've stayed with you," I began rocking back and forth on my knees, still holding the hand up to my face. "Ple-ease you can't go, you just can't," I started sniffling while I talked "I-I need you," My voice was becoming higher pitched “It's just us, you and me, were the last two. Come on, just-just wake up, please!" The anger I had at myself was becoming more and more the longer she did not wake up "COME ON!" I yelled at her hand. "WAKE U-U-UP!" I started to full on cry into her hand now. “NO PLEASE, just wake up.”

“You should have been here” a familiar voice said to me. “I’m disappointed in you Tru. We made a promise after that DAY to make each other happy.” I looked up to see my mother sitting up and looking down at me with disappointment. “We made a promise and you broke it.” I didn’t know what to say. “I died here in pain and screamed for you. But you never came. Instead I died here without you. I thought I raised you better, to keep your promise, but I guess not.”

“Mother please. Stop. I’m sorry. If I could I would go back and…..”

“Yeah well you can’t can you?” She cut me off with a stern voice. “Have fun knowing you now have two deaths in your hands.” She got up and out of the stretcher. She turned her back to me sitting on the edge of the bed. She got up and forced her hand out of my grasp. Then she started walking down a long white hallway.

“No. No. NOOOO” I started running after her. “Your not going! Not while I’m here to...to...NO! I can save you.” She kept walking forward while I ran after her. The hallway seemed to get longer and longer. After a minute she was a good fifty feet ahead of me while running. “no. No. NO.” I start running faster trying so hard to catch her but nothing was working. Soon I got tired of the running and fell to my knees. I covered my face with my hands and cried into them.

Then there was a bright flash of light that shown through my hands. I removed my hands slowly to see a silhouette up in the sky. It was a pony but it was also a little bigger than the ones I have seen. It slowly made its descent towards me.

It finally landed in front of me. It was a pony with dark blue fur and a mane that looked liked it was the night time sky. She wore what I think is something royalty wears and had a moon butt tattoo.

“Hello creature” she spoke to me “my name is Princess Luna. I assume you are the creature my sister, Celestia, has told me about?”

"H-How? Wha-a? How are you here?" I asked as calmly as I could make my voice.

"I am the Princess of the Night. Because of this I am able to to walk among the dream realm. I help ponies with nightmares that may have an everlasting effect on them." She stopped waiting for me to respond, but I didn't. "Your dream realm wasn't hard to find."

"How so?" I asked

"You were having such a troubling nightmare that it, in a sense, called out to me. I have never felt a force like this though. So out of curiosity and wanting to help. I came forward." Luna said "Who is she?" She extended her hoof passed me. I turned around to see who she was pointing at.

"T-that is my mother." I answered trying not to remember the event that had just occurred.

"Right now she is in....is in....no I should be with her!" I started crying again. All of what she said to me came back and it was just to much to bear.

"Please. In order for me to help you through this I must know what happened." She said almost motherly.

"Me and my mother” I started “were brought here by a magical white rock. I picked up the rock and it knocked us out. I awoke to find the elements all around us. I found my mother and asked for the elements to help me take her to any kind of hospital they had. Right now my mother is in the Ponyville General Hospital, she is in a kind of magic coma and won't awake till another few weeks from now."

After I explained my whole story, I realized that my story has kind of been a little bit of everywhere at once. I found a weird glowing rock, a few seconds later i'm surrounded by colorful horses. Then I am in a hospital with my mother and then I am staying the night at a friend's house...... Friend....Yeah that sounds right accualy.

"I see and out of all of this. What are you scared of the most?" she asked.

"I'm scared that she....that she might not come back to me. I am afraid that she has made a perfect world in her own head that she might not want to leave. I’m scared that she may think that she has no reason to comeback." I responded.

"I...I see. While I can't do anything here, I can tell you that as of right now you need to be strong. You need to be strong for her when she comes back. You do not need to fret, she will come back. I have seen first hoof how strong a mother's love can really be and let me tell you, it is something else that no magic can replicate." She said. We both had a good chuckle to lighten the mood. I got up off the ground and wrapped my arms around her for a hug. I don't know why it just felt like it was the best thing to do at the time.

"Thank you. Thank you so much Princess Luna." I said still in a hug. She was only slightly smaller than me while standing which made the hug a little weird.

"No more of that Princess stuff. For now, please just call me Luna." she responded. Then she soon started hugging me back.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't tell you my name." I let go of the hug and started to wipe the tears on my face. I put on a smile and extended my hand for a shake.

"Hello Luna, my name is Tru Peterson. It's nice to meet you." I said with a warm and genuine smile.

"Hello Tru Peterson." She put her hoof in my hand and we shook hand and hoof. Soon we stopped and Luna spoke again. "My time is coming to a close Tru. I must return and lower the Moon for soon the sun will rise."

"Will you be there tomorrow with your sister." I asked

"No, I will not. For I am what most ponies call 'A night owl'. I sleep during the day and do my part of work at night." she explained. It makes sense.

"Thanks again Luna and until we meet again." I said.

"Yes till we meet again." She responded with a smile and wave as she 'ascended to the heavens'. "I do wish to see you soon my friend." And with that she disappeared.

Everything started going to black slowly. Friends with a Princess on first meet. I hope I can do the same soon with Princess Celestia. I looked back to see that my mother was still standing there. The once white emptiness was a light of grey. I walked up to my mother and held her in a hug, though she did not hug me back.

"Soon mother. I will be there when you are ready to wake again." I pulled back and looked into her eyes. They had been crying, that much was obvious. Then she spoke.

"I know and thank you." It shocked me that she spoke to me. I got ready to say something but she stopped me. "I will be waiting and I will never leave you behind." She started hugging me back.

For the reminder of the time we just stood there hugging each other til there was nothing but darkness around us. I felt my grip slowly let up, I pulled back to look to look at my mother just to see she was gone.

"Tru!" What? I turned around in a full 360 to look for who was calling me but found nothing.

"Tru!" they called again. My eyes felt heavy and slowly I fell asleep, I also started to fall backwards to, into the nothingness that was the void around me.

TRU!
