- -ANON I'M ACTUALLY... A SKELETON!
- -BOO!
- >you rolled over in your bed
- "Cadence, it's too early for-"
- >staring back at you was a skeleton of a pony
- "Wha-ahhHH!"
- >you scrambled to the side opposite of the bones
- >the jaw of the skull started moving
- >"I got a boo-boo, Anon"
- >the skeletal hoof climbed onto the bed
- >"but I'm alright now, though"
- >the other hoof followed onto your sheets as the... thing... started to climb closer
- >"you still love me though, don't you?" it said as it's bones rattled, it's skeletal wings unfurling
- -Yes, I do.
- -Cadance skeleton is fine for me.
- >"Aww, I love you too Anon!"
- >with a flap of its bone wings, the creature was now in your bed with you
- >"I'd smile, but well, you know..."
- >you stared on in horror at the abomination as it neared
- >your back was to the wall
- >you curse at yourself for sliding the bed up against it now
- >it's skull stared at you
- >those deep, darkened holes fixed on you
- >it moved closer
- >"Come on Anon, give me a hug"
- -Hugging skeleton Cadance is the only choice.
- >you slowly push your hands out in front of you
- >you wanted to throw this monstrosity out of your bed
- >but you froze
- >in fear
- >the form's skeletal hooves extended towards you
- >what was formerly a princess moved nearer
- >then it made contact
- *Gasp*
- >Cadence's bones were freezing
- >the hooves wrapped around you
- >she buried her skull into your chest
- >"you're so warm and snuggly" her lower jaw clattered
- >"I forgot how good skin felt"
- >the skeletal form snuggled up closer to you
- >"Anon..."
- >you were finally able to crack through your terror
- "Y-yes C-cadence?"
- >you stuttered out
- >"I can't believe how soft you are"
- >you looked down as the skeleton shuffled about
- >"I guess I didn't notice, cause I was soft too..."
- >Her hooves started moving about, poking and prodding your soft flesh
- >this was very uncomfortable
- >and weird
- "Cadence..."
- >you mumbled
- >"what is it, anon?"
- "Stop poking me"
- >the skeleton stopped touching you, backing off a bit
- >"I'm sorry Anon, I just can't get comfortable"
- >how does a skeleton get comfortable?
- >a hoof started to climb over you
- >the rest of the bones followed
- >you now had the bones of a princess lying across your stomach
- >"There we go"
- >your heartbeat started to slow a bit
- >well, this was Cadence all right
- >you woke up many days with her lying on you, sprawled out
- >Now, it was just her bones doing it
- >her skull turned towards you
- >the jaw began rattling
- >"Anon, can I tell you something?"
- >figuring she would end up telling you anyway, you answered
- "Sure"
- >you said softly
- >"I... I'm kinda scared..."
- >no, you were scared
- >but you humored her
- "of what?"
- >"Well, I've never been a skeleton before"
- >what
- >"...and some ponies get scared easy. What if they don't want a skeleton princess?"
- "I, um..."
- >you didn't really know how to answer her
- >ponies DID get scared very easy
- >I mean, she freaked you out
- >and you're at least twice as brave as a pony
- >"What am I going to do..."
- >she laid head down on your sheets, facing you
- >how to help...
- >the gears started turning
- >wait
- >there's supposed to be one pony that helps her no matter what...
- "Have you talked to Shining?"
- >her head shot up at your words
- >"Shining!"
- >"...shining"
- >she sighed as her skull laid back onto the bed
- >"he's gonna be upset"
- >you could see why
- >it was currently laying across you
- "Why?"
- >"Well, our relationship is going to be a lot less physical now..."
- >you just stared at her
- >"I don't think he'd be too keen on adding a bone to me now...
- "..."
- >"...and he told me not to go and get hurt"
- >she put her skeletal hooves to her skull
- >she sighed
- "Cadence, If you and him just t-"
- >she skeleton's hooves hit the bed as she leaned her head up
- >"OH NO"
- >the dark eye holes stared towards you
- >"I TOLD HIM "Til' death do us part" WHAT ABOUT THAT NOW?"
- >oh shoot
- >how does her... current situation affect her vows?
- "Well, I guess..."
- >"What if he wants to get another mare?!"
- "I-"
- >she got close to your face
- >"One with more skin on her bones?!?"
- >her hooves grabbed onto your cheeks
- >"Would he just throw me in the closet?!?!"
- "Cafence"
- >you said through your smooshed mouth
- "I tfhink he'd unferstan-"
- >"I'll show him! I'm a free mare, now!"
- >she let go of your face
- >she laid her skull on your chest
- >"I can't do that... I loves him too much"
- "aww"
- >"I can talk to him in the morning..."
- >it sounded good to you
- *YAWN*
- >your adrenaline had worn off
- >and you were tired
- >"Anon"
- "Yes?"
- >"Can I sleep in here with you, tonight?"
- "Um.. I guess..."
- >anything to make her non-life more comfortable
- >"Anon"
- "Hmm"
- >"I don't know if I need to sleep anymore"
- >you laid your head back onto your pillow
- >staring straight at the ceiling
- >what seemed like forever you were asking questions to yourself
- >what if ponies got scared of her?
- >did she need to eat?
- >maybe she could be a nightmare night decoration?
- >what WOULD Shining think?
- >how can skeletons feel?
- >would people blame you for this?
- >it did happen at your house...
- >Wait, she never told you how this happened...
- "Cadence"
- >you whispered
- >no response
- >you looked up at the skeleton draped over you
- >her rib bones were mimicking the up and down movement of breathing
- >like she used to
- >she was snoozing
- >you decided to let her poor bones rest in peace
- >you went back to staring at the ceiling
- >you wake up
- >there's something weird
- >a weird feeling
- >all over you
- >covering you
- "...cadence"
- >no response
- >you look to your left
- >you see a few of her bones lying on the bed sheets
- >she fell apart
- >probably some time in the night
- >oh no
- >you turn to the other side
- >her skull is facing away from you
- >disconnected from the rest of her bones
- >a hand of yours comes from beneath the covers
- >you grab the skull
- "Cadence, you having trouble keeping yourself toge-"
- >your eyes grow wide in shock
- "AHHHHHHHHH"
- >BUGS
- >well, ants
- >all over and in her skull
- >you look down at yourself
- >they're ALL OVER YOU
- >and your BED
- >you quickly jump form your bed, the poor mare's bones rattling to the floor
- >she may have a few broke ribs now...
- >you start dusting these ants off you and Cadence's skull
- >they all up in your bed
- "Cadence!"
- >you shout at the skull
- "You up?"
- >nothing
- "Come on, Cadence!"
- >nothing
- >you start to breathe faster
- "Cadence?"
- >nothing
- >you shake the skull a few times
- "Mi Amore Cadenza!"
- >you shout at her
- >you stare into the empty eye sockets
- >your only response is the inside of the skull
- "no..."
- >could she have departed from you sometime in the night?
- >she had become a skeleton some how...
- >so something had to happen to her...
- >she may have been annoying, with the yelling your name and all the crazy stuff she did, but she was still fun to be with...
- "cadence..."
- >you whispered to the skull
- >the corners of your eyes start to swell with tears
- >you sniff
- >she can't...
- >you hold the skull close to your chest for a moment
- >then you turn to head out your bedroom
- >you should at least do something with her bon- her body
- >walking down your hall, you think
- >I hate to have to break this to Shining...
- >then as you pass your living room, you catch movement out the corner of your eye
- >
- >you stopped
- >your head spun around towards it
- >it took a moment for you to focus on it
- >on your couch was a familiar pink mare
- >with a horn
- >and wings
- >and candy-colored hair
- >her head was buried inside the biggest cooking pot you owned
- >two empty cereal boxes and a milk carton by her side
- >the fuel for her morning
- >she was munching away contently
- "CADENCE!"
- >her head jerked up from the pot
- >chocolatey bits and marshmallows stuck to her snout
- >"ANON!" she said with excitement
- >her eyes went to the skull in your arms
- >her eyes turned to pinpricks
- >her horn lit up with a pink magic aura as her head went back into the pot
- >the skull was enveloped in a pink aura as it started rattling
- >"Anon, pay no attention to the beautiful mare on your couch"
- >you just stared, dumbfounded
- >...was she?
- >yeah, she was.
- >she was controlling the....
- >the skull started talking again
- >"That's not me. She's a figment of your grief-riddled mind. That's Chrysalis. Um, you're drunk. There's nothing there. Solar winds, tape delay..."
- >you glanced from the skull to the mare
- "Ca- jus- I- um uh..."
- >come on, use your words
- "Cadence!"
- >she meekly lifted her head from her cereal
- >"Did I getcha, Anon? Huh?"
- >getcha?
- >This was just one of her jokes...
- >You just started shaking your head back and forth, trying to comprehend her practical joke
- "How did-"
- >"Its a fake!" she said with a grin, bits of cereal in her teeth
- >"I'm made of sugar!" the skull stated
- >that explains the ants
- "Where were you..."
- >"I was under your bed the whole time!"
- >she got off the couch and headed towards you
- "...why?"
- >"because!"
- >she wrapped her hooves around your front
- >"I love you, anon" the pink mare said
- >a skeletal pair of hooves wrapped around you from your back
- >"and I love you too" the skull said from your arm
- >you just looked down at her
- >and returned her hug
- "...love you too, Cadence"
