(PiE) A New Reason - Part 2 (Finale)

>You quietly leave Rebecca's room and leave Twilight alone for a moment.
>Sometimes... even the way she talked...
>No Anon.
>Keep a grip on yourself.
>She is a technicolor talking horse.
>Erm.
>Pony.
>You head into your kitchen and get her a pencil and paper.
>Nobody could replace Rebbecca.
>A pony couldn't replace your little girl.
>She wants you to find these magical herbs for her that should boost her magic power.
>How would you know how magic works?
>Before you head back in, you think about what it will be like after Twilight leaves.
>Alone.
>Desolate.
>Back to square one.
>It would be nice to have someone around for the quiet days.
>Plus... she was just like her.
"Hey, uh... I got that stuff for you." You say walking back into her room.
>"Thank you. Let's see... these should be the names of them."
>She takes the pencil and writes out a small list of ingredients.
>You carefully look over the list and surprisingly see some things you recognize.
>Some of the herbs were really rare and extremely expensive though.
>Looking over the list carefully, you look back up at Twilight.
>"Well? It shouldn't be too hard. I mean. Most of these were pretty common in my world."
"Twilight. I don't know how to say this... but I've never heard of any of these."
>"What!" she exclaims, worry spreading across her face.
"Yeah. I mean. I could go ask around... but I don't even know if some of these exist. I mean... this.. uh... how do you pronounce this?"
>You point to one of the items on the list.
>"Aloe leaves?"
"Really? Huh. That's pronounced weird. Anyway. I've never even heard of that."
>"Then... what am I going to do Anon?"
>She looks up at you in fear and sadness.
>"If I can't go back, my friends, Spike... Equestria. What are they going to do?"
"I don't know Twilight. We will just have to do our best."
>You look outside and see the day slowly fading away into night.
"For now, why don't you get some rest. It's getting dark now and we will be no good if we are tired."
>"I suppose you are right."
"Can I get you anything to help you sleep?"
>She looks up at you, then looks away.
>"N-no. I think I'm fine. Thank you."
"Alright. Well just let me know if you need anything."
>You leave the room quietly and lock your apartment door.
>After cleaning up a few dirty dishes and straightening up the place a bit, you shut off the lights and head to your bedroom.
>Grabbing a few extra blankets, you prepare to bundle up for tonight.
>You don't have a working heater in the apartment, but you don't have the money to get it fixed and having it off saves money.
>Shutting off the lights, you lay in bed and close your eyes.

>"Daddy?"
"Yeah Becca?"
>"I had a bad dream... can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Of course hon."

>You wake up with tears in your eyes.
>Again.
>The dream was back.
>She felt so real, wrapped up in your arms.
>Gently breathing into your chest.
>Hair that smelled of fresh cut flowers.
>Wait a minute.
>You open your eyes and stare into the face of s sleeping purple unicorn.
>Well.
>That explains things a bit.
>Slowly getting out of bed as not to wake her, you head into the dining room to make breakfast.
>You start a pot of coffee and get some more oatmeal in a bowl for Twilight.
>At least you had plenty of that.
>Twilight must have had a nightmare last night and wanted someone to comfort her.
>So she crawled in to bed with you.
>Just like how she used to.
>Your dream just did the rest of the work.
>You've got work in an hour... so there isn't really much you can do for her this morning.
>Peeking in, you see her quietly sleep on the bed.
>She's been through a lot.
>You probably shouldn't wake her.
>Heading back out to the kitchen, you grab all of your things and put on your uniform for your dead-end job.
>Filling a travel mug full of coffee, you head out the door.

>Another long and unfulfilling day of work passes you by.
>Another day of minimum, unappreciated wages.
>The dark clouds overhead provide a cool atmosphere for your walk home.
>The entire day you can't help but think what Twilight might be doing.
>Is she reading your books?
>Did she go back to sleep?
>Is she even still here?
>You decided it's probably best not to think about that question.
>As you round the corner to your street, your heart stops.
>There she is.
>Standing in the street.
>Looking at a map.
"JESUS CHRIST. GET INSIDE!"
>Twilight jumps and looks around, confused and scared.
>You sprint towards her.
>Another car comes from the other direction.
>Her eyes fill with terror as she looks to you and to the car.
>Twilight's horn becomes illuminated with purple light and her whole body glows white.
>Then, she disappears.
>The car swerves.
>You can't stop running.
>The last thing you see is the whites of the driver's eyes.

>The police claimed that the victim was a young male that was fed up with his life after the death of his daughter.
>Sometimes in the heat of danger, unicorns are able to muster up supernatural magic that can surpass that of an alicorn princess, much like how a mother can move cars to save their child.
>After returning to Equestria Twilight will never forgot her strange day with the strange creature Anon.
>Anon would forever be grateful that for one day, he had his Rebecca back.
