"Where am I...?" I awoke amongst the clouds once again. The previous events still fresh within my mind. Why am I still... here in this hellish world. I thought the world... was deleted... why didn't I go along with it?

"Because, we're giving it a second chance..."

"G-Goddess?"

"Orion... I'm so very sorry for what happened in this story. Phantom and I never intended for this to happen. He just wanted to create a world where everyone can be happy. A place where... you could be happy..."

"..."

"Which is why... instead of Phantom making every move for you and the girls... he decided to let you choose how your life works here. You may still be in a heavy state of depression, but we're allowing you to control this life of yours."

"I don't know. What if what happened before with Rarity happens again."

"She may feel regret after her previous actions. If we're lucky, she just may let life move on as it should. However, nothing will be predetermined. What ever happens will be purely determined through your own actions. I'm pretty sure Phantom is off creating another story, or finishing others."

"I still don't know. What if..."

"Don't worry about the what if's. Our original goal was to cure your depression, but we didn't think it would escalate to such events. Again, on behalf of Phantom and myself, I'm sorry..."

"No... you had no control over it, but what will happen to those... previous chapters... I guess is what you would call them...?"

"They will be erased from everyone's memory including yours."

"That's probably for the best..."

"You'll feel yourself get sleepy once again before you wake back to your first day of school. However, at this point in time, you would not have met Rarity at school. You won't know anyone at CHS, and everything that happens from then on will be based on all of your choices. Nothing will be predetermined, and the girls won't be some autonomous entity made to fall in love with you. How and when they fall in love with you will be purely based on the choices you make from here on out."

"Alright..., but will you still visit me?" The goddess remained silent towards my question, so I changed the way I said it, "I want you... to still visit me."

"Orion..."

"Please, you are what kept me sane through that whole ordeal. If it weren't for you... that whole situation would've ended much faster."

I heard the goddess sigh as she said, "Very well. I shall check up on you every now and then. Kind of like how it was planned before. I'll check in on you every night to see what you've improved on, and how school life has been for you."

"Yes, that is all I ask of you."

"Yes, I'll do that. Now, I'll restart this world. Remember, this world is at your disposal."

My vision was blinded by a bright, vibrant light only for me to awake back in my bed once again. I felt strange there. I felt like... I had been here before. Yeah, I have been. This is the morning of my first day of school.

I turned over on my bed to look at the alarm clock on my bed. It was 4:30, "Hm, if I remember correctly, nearly being late happened around 7:00. I don't know if I wanna go back to sleep. I still have those previous memories... the ones I was supposed to forget...

I then heard a faint piano in the background. It was light, and elegant. I sat up, and tried to place the sound. However, it sounded like it was surrounding me. It never got louder, but it sped up as I kept standing. Once I was up right, it was at a blistering tempo.

I started walking in an attempt to find the source, but as I walked around the clouds soon turned blood red, along with the sky they were in. The piano playing started to sound distorted, and deafening. It soon started to sound backwards along with the distortion.

I felt the world freeze around me, and turn blood red once again. I looked around in fear again. It was just like that dream from last night. I was back in such a hellish again...

"I'm back here again? Why?"

"You're mine...," That same voice from last night spoke again, and it did, the piano got distorted like last night. However, with the piano, was a light, reversed violin playing. Reversed as in it was playing backwards.

I felt as if I couldn't speak. I would try to open my mouth, but no words would come out. Not even a sound. It was just... nothing. Just that distorted symphonic tune in the background. I look on in confusion, trying to picture what the hell was going on.

I heard... an upbeat piano playing in the background. It wasn't distorted like it usually is, but it was faint. To quickly get to the bottom of this piano, I nodded before quickly leaving.

I jogged to the music room to hear the music get softer and softer. Once I heard this, I slowed myself down. It was then the music sounded as if it caught up to me because when I stopped, it got louder, and was at its loudest when I stopped.

She stopped a little bit to see that she was actually mounted on me. We stared at each other as she looked away shyly, "Uh..."

"Quite the predicament we're in...," We stared at each other, and then... I heard it again. The piano...

This made the world around me freeze as I stared around for the source. However, again, there was no source.

I didn't know what was coming over me, I just didn't want her to leave, "Please, I can't risk you fainting again with no one around to help you, or for some pedophile to rape you."

"When did it come to that? I'll be fine..."

"No... I don't want you to go..."

What? I can't... control myself... what's going on? Why can't I move? No, I can't move or even control my own body! What the hell is happening?!

I soon felt my hand grab Rainbow's arm, and I could tell it was fiercely because she yelped in pain. It was then the same piano played again backwards, and distorted. Along with it, a bone-chilling ambiance filled the air as I dragged her through the house.

I then said this, "You don't need to see or hear this..."

My true vision became black only to hear this in the end, "Hm, that didn't go as planned. Let us start again...," A bright flash of light filled my eyes as my vision came back to...

"When the world reset the first time, it reset without Rainbow."

"Wait, what?"

"When you took her during that past event, you had actually attempted to... seduce her."

"What...?"

"When she refused..., you choked her until she passed out..., and raped her unconscious body...

"No..."

"To prevent her from snitching... you killed her..., and with that, made her nonexistent in this current world. It was as if she was erased from everyone's memory... except your own..."

"You're lying..."

"I wish I was..."

"Uh, Pinkie, is something wrong?"

"Oh, uh, I just feel like... something is missing. Like, I know you're here. Oh, and Rarity... Aj... Sunset... Fluttershy..., and..."

Pinkie fell silent for a short second. She paused on the final person to their group of friends... Rainbow Dash...

This wasn't her... this was just some illusion...

"Is that what it is?"

"Huh?"

"An illusion? You think that's all this world you're in is Orion?" Pinkie grew angry at me. Can she... see my narration?

"Of course I can. I've been seeing it this whole time. But is that what you think this is, an illusion? Is none of this real to you?"

"That's right, you can't think of anything to say right now, huh? Have I seen through you? First of all, you said something about someone called... Rainbow Dash. Is that who's missing in my... no... all of our lives?"

"..."

"Answer me. Remember, you can't escape from me..."

I saw the house, and stopped in front of it. What I saw was the front door open, and no cars in the driveway. I popped out the kickstand, and walked slowly to the house.

I peaked around the door, sneaking in so I wouldn't draw attention to myself. Even so, I still spoke, "Pinkie? Are you here dummy? Don't scare me like that..."

No response...

"Pinkie?" I arrived at a bedroom door that was slightly opened. A pungent smell protruded from the room, nearly making me vomit on the spot. I stared at the door, and put my ear against it, "Hello? Pinkie?" Knowing what could waiting for me inside, I slowly open the door, "Uh... are you-..."

"No... this can't be happening..."

"You know, while you're driving, I should tell you how Rainbow died..."

"Huh?"

"I don't really want to go into detail, but she died from shock."

"Shock?"

"Yeah, she didn't die from beeing strangled. She died from the shock of being raped. A heart attack if you please. She died about midway through it. It was a somewhat interesting sight to witness. Someone I know is being raped, and I'm just watching it all go down. It was somewhat... exciting..."

"Oh, and Pinkie. Well, she was actually dead long before she called you. I just altered a voice track for it to sound like she was talking to you, but she wasn't. She did come to an epiphany though. She gained the knowledge of this world, and it's dark secrets. Like Rainbow's death and how it happened."

"Pinkie must not have researched on how to properly hang yourself. She didn't do it right. You're suppose to jump from a high height so that your neck snaps for a quick, painless death. However, she didn't do that, so she died from asphyxiation. Didn't you notice how her finger tips were bloody. It was because her survival instincts kicked in, and she tried to claw at the rope to escape. I bet that must've hurt... heheheh..."

"Fluttershy is at your house."

"My house? Why?"

"Just go, quit wasting time. I don't want to hurt you."

Not wanting to feel that pain in my chest again, I quickly hopped back on my motorcycle, and drove to my house.

Once I arrived there, I heard an echoing cry from within my house. I slowly turned off my motorcycle, and quickly ran inside, and forgetting to pop out the kickstand.

I stared into my house... it was dark. The only light was coming from the kitchen. I slowly walked towards it, the smell of blood flooded my nose as I turned the corner. I saw a bloody, tied up Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy!"

"Orion? Stay back! She's here..."

"Who?"

"Me Orion...," That one same voice was no longer distorted... it was... elegant... it was... Rarity, "My darling..."

"Rarity... you were the one behind all this madness?"

"Of course, wasn't it obvious from the beginning?"

"I had an epiphany. Hm, that's been said a lot recently. Oh well, it's true. I gained awareness of this story. I knew how it was going to progress, how it was going to end, and who you would end up with."

"..."

"I didn't like the ending, nor the progression, so I changed it to feature me. However, none of those deaths were planned. I just tried to make you dislike them. You know, it was hard to try and make you dislike Fluttershy here. In fact you still do like her, right?"

"Y-Yeah...," Fluttershy looked at me in fear, causing Rarity to sigh.

"I was afraid of that. No matter what happened, I couldn't have you dislike her. Now, I'll have to kill my best friend because of you Orion. Oh well, anything to be with you forever."

Fluttershy jumped up, and tackled Rarity to the ground, holding her arms in the process, "Run Orion! Run while you still can!"

"Get off me!"

The world soon started turning again as I made a dash towards my motorcycle. I glanced back once before lifting, and hopping on my motorcycle again.

I heard an agonizing scream come from inside, causing me to pause. Rarity limped outside, blood all over her as she held a sadistic smile across her face, "Oh Orion... come here and stay with me darling!"

I revved up my motorcycle, and rode away. I soon felt that same pain come up in my chest, causing me to swerve a little. I flinched hard, causing me to lose vision for a split second. During split second... I didn't see... that I was about to collide with an 18-wheeler... and... that was it...

"I'll save you... my darling..."

Rarity was the one behind all that madness, and I was too blind to see past it. Then when it was all said and done, that same power went to Fluttershy.

She was someone I loved for who she was. However, I feel the same about all the girls...

No, don't act like that Orion. This is a second chance. Your second chance. You don't need to be in a relationship to make you or the girls happy. You were happy just by being with them, and so were they.

If it happens, it happens. My main goal... to relieve myself of these dark, depressing thoughts of suicide from my mind... permanently...
