Rude Awakening
Understanding
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI gave Celestia a 'we need to talk later,' look causing her to flinch slightly but she nodded slowly.
Sunset walked over and gave me a hug big hug, then she kissed me on the lips, my mind flashing to all of what we had been through together....and saving her from the darkness that was inside of her.
Scotaloo, Appleboom, and, Sweetie belle were all on my shoulders, I had to struggle not to wince, because they weren't kids anymore, but It was good, it was a good feeling to be reunited
It was still unbelievable though, I thought it was just a dream...I literally just woke up some time ago.
I slowly followed her up, the ship Celestia was in front of me eyes hardened, at the guards, and the presidents, as she slowly backed away into the ship, once the royal guards, and all of my friends that came, were inside....the hatchet closed.
Inside the ship, I was staring at Celestia in both Awe, love, and anger... Once the door there was an ignition noise, before the ship was gone, I struggled to stay on my feet, but I was caught and lifted up by Sunset, "Tia...I am very happy to see you...and obviously I am shocked you found me...but I am happy...do not get me wrong...but... "What in the actual fuck?!"
She flinched, "I...I am afraid, I don't understand my beloved...?"
"Tia....you threatened to pull the sun on their ass!" I cried out, "Look, I know you, I know you are not that person...but do you know the gravity of the situation!" I put my hand on my face in frustration, "This world depends on the SUn, move it slightly from the direction your sister has been moving it...it changes things even slightly...People die.."
"I.....I had no choice!" Celestia cried out, "I could not lose you again! You told me how humans are, they fear what they could not understand....I...I could not lose you again!" [/b ]
Lone tears slowly fell down her cheek as she trembled...I froze as I stared at her... As she finally snapped, letting loose all of her feelings...
This isn't the Tia I knew, but...I understand...when I made that Sacrifice, I broke her heart...I was gone....the only one who ever treated her for who she was, the only one who ever made her feel...loved...not just because she was a princess. I was the only one...
Celestia has never felt this type of way to someone....and the times...the memories....the bonding.... everything.. the bond was broken when I died, and Celestia was never the same.
"I almost lost myself!" She roared, "Do you not realize...it was like....something in me..." She sobbed quietly "I didn't; 't ever want to experience that again..I had no choice."
I stared at her...frozen, as I realized, what I had told her during my time in Equestria, the light and darkness, I told her about the bad...I told her about the good of humanity, I told her about everything...So when she came to Earth, she took all the risk needed, for one purpose and for one purpose alone...To bring me back to her.
A lone tear slowly fell down my cheek, as I stared at this princess, my first Beloved Who had been through so much...
"She isn't the only one my love."
Sunset's voice caught me off guard as I turned to her.
I saw her own tears falling down her cheeks, She smiled at me sadly, "You were there for me when I was at my lowest, and you saved me from going down a dark path.."
She took a deep breath before she spoke again..
"Time...happened...and the three of us bonded together...we married....all of us in years of time..and the bond only grew." She looked at the ring on her finger as she slowly walked to her Mentor now sister..." She took another deep breath.
"When you died, it was sudden, we were not prepared." Sunset sighed. "We doubt we could ever be.. it broke our heart..our light of the world, but when you died, the only thing that kept us going was your promise your last words."
The memory came back to me like a flash of lightning.
(Flashback)
They all looked sad, ears plopped down unto their skull... eyes also watering.
"H-hey now...*Cough, Don't cry..." I smiled at them weakly, "I will merely wake up back home....where my mother is waiting for me...I would wake up to find out I was dreaming."
"Y-you stupid...stupid idiot...!" The girl with red in her hair cried as she held her body close to her chest...might I add it was quite soft too. "How many times do we have to tell you? This isn't a dream!"
"Indeed..." the blue one whose hair also blew into the nonexistent wind said softly, "We had told thee, tis is not a dream I would know..."
"Maybe you're right...but maybe your not..." I smiled, "I did a lot for this world you know...a lot of technology advancements, a lot of breakthroughs...did I ever tell you congrats on sending a mare to the moon?" I asked,
"You did a thousand times, " The purple one said sadly, "So you mean you jumped in front of Princess Celestia to save her from a coordinated attack by the legend of doom, just because you thought this was a dream?"
I laughed, big mistake...I started to cough more violently, "I would have done it if this was all real too."
"Save your breath." Tia...or now...Princess Celestia demanded softly, The girl with red in her hair.. her horn glowed softly as she tried to heal some of my wounds, and some of them did heal...but the damage was too much.
"I-I'm afraid that won't work." I said softly, "I-I am too far gone."
She slams a fist onto the ground, "D-damn it..." she hissed.
"My eyes started to get blurry... I wanted to tell them, my home, as this was just a dream after all, besides...we've been through a lot. They've earned my trust in them.
"Milky way galaxy...Earth; Elliot Jackson..., there my soul rests..."
They were all confused by this revelation, but it appears I couldn't hold my eyes for much longer.
(Flash back end)
My eyes widened in realization, Sunset smiled, Celestia's body was trembling....and as I looked at Sunset, I saw her own body was trembling as well.. I looked at my students that were on my shoulders, they two had teary-eyed looks on their faces, and though Scotaloo tried not to show it, it was still there. Twilight had tears falling down her cheeks, at the reminder, while the royal guards all bowed their heads...My death really caused such an impact...
I looked at them...before I reached out...and pulled both Celestia, and Sunset into a hug...I hugged them both tightly...and that is when the dam broke...and they both began to sob uncontrollably. I hugged them as tight as I can...
"It's ok..." I said softly, "I understand."
