They trip was brief, and soon the medic and Celestia were in the hospital room that held the struggling Corkscrew. His eyes fluttered and he twitched ever so slightly from time to time. He had several pads on his head that monitored his brain activity to see about any new developments. The medic looked down upon the pegasus to witness a tear flow down his face. Several beeps from the console wired to the pads indicated something. "It appears that whatever is causing this is causing some strong emotions in Corkscrew. Though I don't know why it would. Maybe it's trying to break him to assume control? Or perhaps it is trying to deepen the trap? We can't say for certain Princess, but things are not looking good for him."

@@slimmyjimjim, "In my studies, this always happens when the couple first starts out. Eventually they can are able to seperate, but the line, as far as I could tell, remained. It just didn't physically bound them together. However the timing is random. Sometimes its a week, other times I come back to a town several years later and find them still stuck together. I am assuming when some unknown condition is met, the link stops bounding you two. It will be up to you to discover what it is though."

"The abnormal brainwaves and overactive subconscious suggest some level of mind manipulation. However the energy signature that was discovered in him is inconsistent with known changeling signatures so it is unlikely that this is the work of changelings. However, it does look like mind manipulation of some description, and given the readings and symptoms, we suspect that whatever magic was used on him has trapped him in his subconscious and is keeping him in this comatose state. We are still discussing possible treatment, but have nothing concrete yet."

"Princess Celestia." The medic saluted before continuing. "Pardon the intrusion Princess, but I have news regarding the condition of the Guard you sent to Ponyville, Corkscrew." He pulled out the report he wrote with his magical grip and sent it over to where the Princess sat. "He has no physical injuries, but he has near no cognitive function and has irregular brain patterns. His subconscious however is overactive and he has shown signs of dreaming. As of now he is a comatose state. We have him in the medical bay on the east wing of the castle."

@@slimmyjimjim, Nexus gave a sympathetic look. This couldn't be easy for her or Parcel. "Your hearts, your essences are forever connected. You must be with him everyday, as he does with you. I'm sorry, but that's just how it's got to be. I suggest establishing shared living conditions and then sitting down and discussing this with each other. Figure out how your going to proceed with your lives going forward."

@@slimmyjimjim, Nexus had a grave look on his face. He put on his best tone-the cold professionalism voice that doctors use-before speaking. "In all my research into the matter, the link cannot be broken. If it were ever to disconnect, theoretically it would kill both of you. It will feed you a constant stream of love to survive off of, but should either one of you perish, it will quite literally destroy the other ones heart. I'm sorry." He said, helping them to their hooves. "You will probably want to speak to the mayor about shared living conditions." He said in his cold doctor voice.

I just completed Infamous 1 as a Hero. That is a game I think everyone with a PS3 should play. It is basically Sly Cooper with super powers, more or less.

@@slimmyjimjim, Nexus ran after the two, and came to a halt at the pair, piled up on the ground in a tangled mess of limbs. Nexus decided to test a theory. He wanted to see what magical capabilities he had. He placed out a hoof, bringing it above them. His hoof began to glow a dull green and he soon found himself examining the line that Parcel had, not just observing it. It was beyond a link for feeding, but this one tied the two together, literally and magically. There hearts were now intertwined, and one could no longer exist without the other. He pulled his hoof back, the glow dying. "Remember that connection between changeling/pony couples? This is one of those links, and it is very intense." He said, moving to help them up.

@@slimmyjimjim, Nexus looked up, seeing Parcel with look of concern. "What's up?" He said. He barely got the word out when he something. He focused his vision, and while he had no line attatched, he saw Parcel's line attached to something behind the door. Without thought, Nexus trotted over to the door, and looked back at Parcel before opening it. He didn't even bother to look at what it was. Which was odd given his curiosity. Maybe he just saw no point in looking, like it would come out on its own.

@@slimmyjimjim, Nexus thought about that for a moment. "Well, can't say I have fallen in love-romantically speaking-but I remember my family and friends well. Being around my parents made me happy, no matter how depressed I was at the time. I smiled a lot when we did things together, and when we talked. I remember having great fun with Meryl, she was like the little sister I never had. Love fills you with this...warmth, for lack of a better word. You want to make them happy because that in turn makes you happy. Their smile does more than any anti depressant could do. Their mere presence is a life giver. Tasting love for the first time, from Dogboots, was sweet, but that's it. It's like eating gourmet food. When you feel it, it is the greatest feeling ever." He looked down to the floor, sadness setting in. "But if you lose them, be it from death or hate, it kills you. A piece of your heart and souls dies with them. And you never truly get over it, you just learn ways to cope. It makes you feel like a walking corpse, a shell of who you were. I remember making jokes a lot in the clan, and had a small fanbase going." He looked up at Parcel. "I haven't made a conscious effort to joke or kid since then. Just dry sarcasm. I don't smile, or laugh, and I haven't loved another pony since then. It is terrible."

I will allow this because that is a good ship, but you leave tomorrow. TO THE COUCH WITH ME.
