Dally's POV
At some point while I'm keeping an eye on Sky as she sleeps I fall asleep. The minute sleep over takes me I am transported into a dream which is weird because I don't usually have dreams. I mean I've had nightmares a few times ever since Sky went through all of that and I almost lost her, except in the nightmares I really do lose her.
Where am I? I think as I walk around the big open field.
"Dally." I hear a voice I'd know anywhere say even though she's been gone for all these years.
"Mrs. Curtis?" I ask while turning around towards the sound of her voice and when I do I see her standing directly in front of me.
"Yes, Dally, it's me." she says while smiling at me.
"How? How is this possible?" I ask confused.
"It's your dream Dally, anything is possible." she says.
"Why are you here though? Why am I dreaming about you?" I ask her still confused.
"You need help, that's why. You feel lost again and helpless." she says.
"What do you mean?" I ask her even though I know exactly what she's referring to.
"All you want to do is help Sky get her memories back and nothing you're doing seems to be working. You're starting to get frustrated. You're not the only one who's frustrated though, Sky is frustrated with herself and that she still can't remember anything except for that short flashback of what she went through." she says.
"I just don't know what to do. I feel so helpless. We've shown her pictures and taken her to some of her favorite places, but nothing seems to be working. I'm starting to think that she's never going to get her memories back and that I've lost her forever. I've lost my short stuff and I've also lost myself because without her I'm nothing." I sigh.
"You haven't lost her Dally, you'll never lose her. She'll remember soon enough, it's just going to take a little more time. She has to have the inner strength to fight to get her memories back, but her inner conscious also has to fight." she says.
"What do you mean?" I ask her once again confused.
"In a way Sky's inner conscious left her body when she got hit by that car, and now her inner conscious is scared to return to her because of everything bad that has happened to her." she explains.
"How do I get her conscious to come back to her though? I don't understand." I ask still confused.
"I know that none of you want to tell her about all the horrible things that happened to her, but those are a big part of her memories and they are a part of her. You're going to have to tell her at some point. Try taking her to visit us, let her talk to us like she always used to when she was in trouble or scared. Watch the sunset with her and remind her of how much she loves them, remind her of all the happy times she had watching them with you and Pony and everyone in the gang. Try to put that smile that lights up a room and brightens anyone's day back on her face. I miss seeing that smile so much. I miss seeing my little girl happy." she says.
"I'll do it all. I'll do anything and everything in my power to get my short stuff back. I promise you that soon you'll be able to see your little girl happy again with that beaming smile on her face." I tell her.
"I know you will Dally. Now, you have to go. Sky's starting to wake up and she's going to need you." she says.
"Okay. I miss you Mrs. Curtis and I wish you were still here with us." I sigh.
"I may not be there with you all anymore, but I'll always be watching over you." she says while smiling at me and then she disappears.
When I open my eyes I'm back in Sky's room. I turn my head to check on her and see that she's whimpering and thrashing around in the bed.
"Sky, you're okay. Come on, open your eyes." I tell her softly while shaking her somewhat.
"Dally?" she asks confused as her eyes snap open and she sits up in the bed.
"Yeah, I'm right here Sky." I reassure her.
"Why are you calling me Sky? You always call me short stuff even though I hate that nickname." she asks and I am shocked.
"You remember that my nickname for you is short stuff?" I ask her still shocked.
"Yeah, you were in the dream I just had. You saved me from those same guys that were hurting me. You called me your short stuff and kept reassuring me that I was safe now." she explains.
"Short stuff, you have no idea how happy that makes me that you remember." I tell her as a big smile makes it's way onto my face and I can't help, but wrap her in a tight hug.
"It makes me happy too." she says while surprisingly hugging me back.
"Come on, we have to tell the rest of the gang." I tell her while pulling her up.
"Okay." she says as just the hint of a smile starts to make it's way onto her face, but then it disappears as quick as it came. Mrs. Curtis was right, my Sky is still in there and I know in my gut that she's slowly starting to come back to me. She's starting to come back to all of us.
Hi everyone. I know it's been forever since I last updated and some of you thought that I had died, but I haven't. I've just been extremely busy all the time. I've also just been stuck on what to write next with this story. I want to thank those of you who checked in with me to see how I was doing health wise it meant a lot. I am doing so much better now. I'm a month into my last year of college and I am just swamped with schoolwork. Sadly, this update doesn't mean that I'm going to start regularly updating again. This was the last chapter I had written and I thought I might as well post it. I know it's short, but like I said I'm stuck on what to write and where to take this story next right now. I do plan on finishing this story, but at this time I don't know when that will be. I'm just trying to focus on myself, family, school, and finally earning my degree right now. I'm sorry if you're disappointed by this, but this is just what my life is right now. I want to thank all of you who have stuck with my story and continue to stick with it, it really means a lot to me. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this short, but sweet Dally and Sky moment chapter. :)
