The Day My Life Ended (Editing)

Chapter Thirty-Three (Revised)

Darcy raised the whistle. She blew. The Mane 6 flopped to the ground. Spike passed out long ago. Lilac was doing some stretches nearby. She paused at the whistle sound.

Darcy hadn't been any kinder to the others when they finished up their lap around the neighborhood. She continued making them do stretches, exercises, and without a real break. Lilac was given simple stretches. Lilac only had a human body for one day. She needed to learn about using it before doing these exercises. The ponies were already here for five days.

They should all be grateful it's being done under a winter sun, and not during a Southern summer sky. Darcy was convinced Rarity would've died if that were the case. Then Rainbow Dash never would finish those laps. Maybe Darcy should reconsider that whole 'grateful' thing.

Darcy lowered the whistle. "Time to learn about-" She paused. She looked off in the distance. Her face was vacant from the earlier glee. Now she's just confused. A confused Darcy (or confused Morgan) never meant good things.

Rainbow Dash gulped. She leaned to Applejack. "Not that I'm complaining about a good workout, but, uh, are we done?"

Applejack shrugged. "Not sure. Twilight?"

Twilight stepped closer. "Darcy? Is everything alright-?"

Darcy gasped. Not in surprise, or fear, this was a gasp like she'd run out of air. She swayed on the spot before falling to the cold grass. She choked again, grabbing her chest.

"AUNTIE!" Lilac screamed. She ran first. The others followed after a beat. Rainbow Dash got to her first. "AUNTIE!?"

Darcy's eyes staring unfocused up at the sky.

Rainbow Dash held her head. "What do I do if they stop breathing?!" She asked the others.

Nopony had a good answer for her.

Darcy croaked. Lilac grabbed her arm, shaking it. Darcy made the croaking sound again.

"What is she saying?" Dash asked.

Fluttershy came up. She tilted her head down. "B- Buh- Bah-" She leaned back, turning to Dash. "Bag?"

Not that it mattered, Darcy shot upright to her feet. A familiar bag appeared on her side.

Lilac looked up at her first. She gasped, falling back. Darcy's eyes faded between two different colors. Her usual purple, and the usual amber. "M-Mom?!"

"Morgan?!" Twilight yelled.

Morgan fell to her knees. She opened her bag, reaching inside.

"Morgan, Morgan wait!" Fluttershy held her shoulder. "You need to breathe!"

"NO TIME!" Morgan pulled out a big blue glass jar, then went back in the bag. "Lilac go get a draw-" She gasped again. Her eyes rolled back in her head. Her hand flopped out of the bag, falling back into Fluttershy and Rainbow's arms. The item in her hand slipped to the ground

They screamed.

Lilac jumped on her. The body coughed, shooting upright.

"Author- fuck- kid!" Darcy grabbed Lilac's shoulder. "Get off me!"

Lilac started to cry again. "But- but- But MOM!"

"What?" Darcy turned to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. "Hey, let go of me!"

Rainbow Dash did immediately.

Fluttershy joined Lilac in the hug. "It was so scary! We thought you'd been hurt!"

"I said let GO!" Darcy growled.

Fluttershy squeaked. She obeyed, pulling herself back. Darcy stood to her feet.
