 -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"
