The Day My Life Ended (Editing)

Chapter Thirty-Four (Revised)

I opened my eyes again. Lilac was still in my arms. She was still crying, that's an issue. It can be fixed. Now, we're all here. We can fix it, dry her tears, then go on to be a family.

Darcy and I fought for control. We'd never faced this issue before. However, it's not my first time having multiple voices in my head.

Eventually, the mind settled. My sister quieted down. The body was mine. My body belonged to me, and that included the brain.

The ponies were all in the backyard again. Rarity and Fluttershy surrounded me with pillows. Rainbow Dash was carrying a towel. Applejack brought two glasses of water. Twilight kept Pinkie back. The pink pony was cartoonishly vibrating. All of them were wearing different clothes. All of it was more than a little familiar.

"Did Darcy give you my clothes?" I asked.

The ponies all sighed, relieved. Rarity and Fluttershy burst out in tears. Lilac hugged me tighter. Rainbow Dash sighed, loudly, falling back into Applejack's arms.

"She did." Twilight replied. "We assumed it wouldn't be an issue."

"It's fine." I cradled Lilac tight. She went along with it. Then, I stumbled up to my knees.

The ponies lurched forward.

"Whoa- whoa- slow down-!"

"Maybe you should lie down?!"

"Relax! Relax! Relax!"

I stood up. Lilac was curled up in my arms, where I always wanted her. The weight is comforting. My legs were shaky, yes, the kind of shaking that meant I would need to relax soon. Darcy, what did you do to my body?

'Nothing. Well, nothing I should be blamed for. You fucked it up first.'

I stumbled back. Again, the ponies moved to catch me. I caught myself with my foot.

"Morgan! What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

"Mommy?" Lilac poked her face out. Her big blue eyes watered. "Are you-"

"Mommy's fine." I assured her through gritted teeth. "Just- Just Auntie being herself. Phew, ow."

Twilight frowned. "What? Your sister?"

I nodded. "She's in my head. She's loud."

Twilight widened her eyes. "Darcy is okay too?"

"Yeah."

Rainbow Dash squeaked. She quickly hid behind Applejack. Applejack raised an eyebrow. Rainbow Dash came back out, chuckling and rubbing the back of her head.

"So...what's goin' on?" Applejack asked.

"Umm." I considered it. Darcy started giggling, all aimed at Rainbow Dash. "I gave my sister my body. She'd handle it better than you. I tried to help heal her with magic. But..."

'Magic? When did you have time to come up with magic spells? You were helping the Rays in California.'

I winced. "I wasn't."

"Wasn't?" Twilight repeated

I shook my head. "She thinks I was in another world. But I wasn't. I'm- I was doing other stuff. Just kinda in the abstract space between worlds thinking about a magical communication system between worlds. Umm. Then, I fell between the worlds back into my body."

The ponies blinked.

Twilight had stars in her eyes. "You did all of that?"

'You're lying about something.'
