I forced myself to stand up, to confront the damn abomination in my room.

It casually leaned against the wall away from me, but still looking in my direction. "I'd love to explain a lot of things, Rex, I really would. But I just can't. You can't rush these things. They aren't in your ability. Just let things play out, and you'll understand all that I say."

"How?" I asked, leaning against the wall, though not as casual as he. I was using it more for balance. "You expect me to just.. believe this shit? That you're some guiding force in the universe or whatever? That you're a higher being? The only thing I remember closely to that is God, and you definitely ain't in his image."

It shook it's head, laughing. "No, no. I'm not a guiding force in the universe. I'm... well, I can't say, can I? I'm sure others might have guessed-"

"What others?"

It smirked. "Rex, there are things you don't want to know. It's better if I just keep it to myself. Or, yourself? Who is Rex in this situation, exactly?"

"Me!"

It walked over to the door, phasing its head through the door before looking at me. "That Twilight is fond of you, you know. After staying together for months on end, there was bound to be something that happened. I'm surprised you haven't felt anything like that, though. What, still stuck on Melissa? She's probably dea-"

"Don't you fucking say that." I growled. "That's not.."

"Rex, what in the hell are the possibilities of her surviving, huh? I'll tell you, because I know. It was zero. You yourself are a cosmic fluke. You weren't supposed to be here. I didn't even have control over that. You were the lucky one, Rex. Everyone else in that ship perished. It's been over two years. It's time for you to move the fuck on."

"I'm just supposed to believe yo-"

"Yes!" It yelled. "You are supposed to just believe me. I'm the only thing in existence that can tell you this, Rex. You're the only being in existence that has actually seen me. That wasn't supposed to be possible, but here we are. Like I said, you're a cosmic fluke. Something that wasn't meant to be but happened anyways. You're special."

I laughed, facing my head up towards the ceiling, closing my eyes. "Like hell I am. Why the fuck would the universe pick me for something, huh? A trillion other fucking people and I'm chosen? Yeah fucking right-"

"Well, if it can be any of those trillion people, why is it so hard to believe its you?"

"Because if it was me, why isn't it those other people?"

"For the same fact that it could've been those other people and not you."

I sighed. We were getting nowhere, and Twilight and Starlight could be listening on the other end of that god-damn door, thinking I've gone crazy. I mean, to them, I'm just talking to think air, right? Twilight didn't see him standing in my room. And, they can't hear him, or else they'd hear how loud he is. My voice is a little scratchier, so it's not as loud as his. Big difference.

"I'll leave you be for now, Rex. I'll give you a day. But, I'm not the only one giving you a day. Someone's gonna' knock on your door. You willing to be the one to open it?"

With that, the figure standing in my room disappeared in a red hazy mist. What in the hell was he talking abo-

Tarbo!

"Twili- Twilig-" I said before I tripped and fell onto the floor. Within seconds, I could hear somebody sprint down the hallway. The door opened. I saw a set of sympathetic eyes staring at me, shaking her head.

"What happened?"

"I.. tried to get up to talk to you."

I could feel myself get floated back onto the bed. I snuggled into its warmth comfortably, before poking my head from the blanket. "Look- Tarbo is on us. He know's where we went for sure, right? He has to-"

"I can indicate location based on how strong the spell was. That teleportation spell is about a three day walk. We'll be fine until tomorrow, I promise. But once tomorrow comes, we have to move out of here. Are you okay with that? How are you feeling?"

I shrugged. "I'm feeling alive. My brain isn't fried. Well, actually, that might still be a mystery. There's obviously some things wrong with me that I can't feel."

"What do you mean?"

I shook my hand dismissively at her. "Don't worry about it, just go and... shit, what have you been doing?"

"Comforting Starlight and putting some of the place back together. Repairing that door was quite easy with a lot of my magic now being free'd. I almost forgot what it was like living with magic. I mean, sure, I could do the basic stuff but it wasn't anything major. Now I'm who I used to be."

"The same cute, adorable pony? Yeah, I agree." I said with a smirk, which earned me an odd look and a blush.

"Whatever." She dismissed. "Just get some rest, alright? I'll.. find something to do. I don't want to bother you all da-"

"Please- Please bother me all day." I begged. "Being alone in this room is so, so boring. I need something- I need someone, anything."

"Are you sure? I can get quit-"

"Have you forgotten that we've lived together for months now? Shut up and get up on here." I said with a smile, patting the spot next to me. She eagerly hopped up on it, sitting down and leaning into the warmth of my blankets. I provided her with a pillow to lay her chin on. "Wait, what about Starlight?"

"She needs time to herself. I know she's going through a lot right now. I'm sure she'll join us eventually."

"Right." I said, laying a lazy hand on top of her, before her wings instantly shot out. "WHA-"

Her face turned instantly red. "S-Sorry! It's been so long since they've been.. usable, that they're a little.." The wings folded back in. "..sensitive."

"Ah, my fault. I should've known. Anyways, what are we going to talk about? The hell is there to talk about? Please don't explode my mind with some random shit about.. fuck, I don't know, being able to move clouds? I remember you saying that you guys are able to control the weather in your world. The fucking privileged man!"

"Hey, we aren't privileged!"

"Oh really? Give me an example."

"We uh... Uhm.. Pay.. taxes?"

"Pfft-"

Yessir. This is a short one, but for good reason. The next chapter is going to be longer. By how much? I dunno'. But, longer, for sure.
