Marathon

Apparently not. Maybe everyone is eating. Thats always a possibility. That or theyre not paying attention and are waiting for someone to post

Hmph, go figures. (Nothing towards you naturematthe, something else regarding other things) anyways where did everyone go? The post just stopped.

Stacy woke up. Apprently she had fallen asleep. She stretched and yawned. "What tht about land?" She asked looking around until she saw a island it looks like. "Rose! Look, land. Stars right theres land!" She said rushing to that side of the boat. "I cant believe it! Were going to live."

Stacy was about to fall asleep when she heard rose speak to her. She looked up at her. "Y-yeah...i think so." She got up and slowly made her way to the front of the boat to talk to moonbeam. "Uhh, Moonbeam!" She yelled out. "Were not so good over here. Star broke her wing and Rose injured he leg. Me and Spark are fine for the most part." She said the last sentence in a shaky voice as she knew that she wasnt fine. She was still pretty freaked out by Rose and she had a craving for more alcohol but she didnt have any. So instead she waited for Moonbeam to reply.

Stacy finally got the courage to get up. She looked at the water again but didnt attempt to jump in again. Instead she went up to rose and sat beside her but didnt look at her. Stacy was silent for a few seconds before she spoke. "Rose.....i....im sorry i tried. Youre right, im not worthless." She then kissed rose on the cheek, got up and went back to her spot.

Stacy didnt dare move from her spot in fear that rose would lash out again. She looked down at the marks on her body. She couldnt believe that rose had done that to her, that she could hurt her like that. She looked back up at her as she began to help star. She didnt hear what rose said but she knew she was talking about something. Yet even though she had scared her, stacy felt no change in how she felt about rose, she just needed to be more careful next time. Stacy curled up into a ball keeping one eye on rose just incase.

When rose used her magic to grab her stacy was horrified at the swiftness of the vines. She then eye to eye with rose. She listened to what she had to say. "If so, you really are pathetic." Those words rang in her ear. It hurt, especially coming from rose. When the vines let go she didnt care about the marks on her body. Stacy quickly backed herself into the side of the ship now afraid of rose. She watched her as if she would hurt her even though she knew she wouldnt.

Just as she was about to jump into the freezing water below she was stopped by Roses voice. She looked at rose as if she really wasnt there. She finally mustered up the power to speak but it was shaky. "Why? Theres no point for me anymore im a useless drunk! I cant do anything right, not even when it comes to you. I did what i did on that stage because i love you. But i cant even have that. I cant get my friend in ponyville back, i cant get a job, i cant even afford to live in my moms house anymore! Im worthless!" She nearly yelled. "I think taking care of star is more important right now." She said nodding in her direction as she passed out.

During the time they were rowing Stacy looked at the icy water just inches away and thought about killing herself. *Come on stacy, it will be easy. You wanted to know what it was like anyways.* she thought to herself. She looked back at rose and star feeling guilt and sorrow. Stacy had stopped crying at this point. She remembered the time when she tried to kill herself at little hops house. That was only about a month ago. She had gone to the bathroom and smashed the mirror but Hop stopped her before she could do anything with the broken mirror. *Is it really worth it? Yeah....i think so.* she stopped rowing and went to the front of the boat and stood there a second preparing herself for what she was about to do.

After her and Spark pulled thier two friends on board Stacy watched them lay on the deck. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Stacy began to softly cry to herself. "Why did this have to happen? Why on the night that was supposed to be happy have to turn into THIS!" She said looking at the giant cruise ship as it sank. Life boats were still being deployed and there were a large number of ponies still on the decks. She then turned and looked at rose and took out the shamrock from behind her ear. She gently placed it next to rose. "You deserve better than me Rose. I.....i love you." The last sentence was more for herself than anypony else on the boat. She then trotted up to one of the paddles and began to to take them somewhere. Where ever there was to go.

Stacy wasted no time grabbing the rope even if her judgement was impaired. She pulled on the rope. *I have to bring her back, i cant lose her!* she thought to herself as she continued to pull. Eventually she and Spark were able to get Rose and Star back to the boat. Stacy rushed to them and started pulling them onto the boat.

Stacy looked out into the ocean in horror. "Well what buck are you doing? Pull her in!" She yelled at him now a little angry that he just let her do that. Stacy took in a big breath and yelled roses name at the top of her lungs unsure if she could hear her cry. She then listened for a reply but she could only hear the howling wind.

Stacy franticly looked around the small boat while holding the rope. *Wheres rose? Where is she? She was just here how could she just dissaper like that? How could she just leave me?* those thoughts kept going through her head until she was on the brink of tears. She looked up at spark and asked him again. "Wheres rose? Where is she?"

Stacy didnt notice what was going on until spark told her to help him. She franticly looked around and found him holding a rope. She rushed behind him grabbing the slack not sure what to do. "Wh-what happened? Wheres Rose and star? I thought they got on the boat." She yelled over the wind.

Stacy stood still a few seconds until her brain told her Spark told her to get in. She stumbled forward and nearly tripped into the boat. "Ok im in.....i think." She said looking around to make sure she had made it, but it took her a while to register that she had.

Stacy folowed Spark and Rose tripping over herself a few time with the wind blowing. After a few minutes they reached the life boats and stacy waited for rose and spark to get on first as she wanted to make sure that they atleast made it out. "You guys go on first. I'll wait." She yelled over the wind.

Stacy looked at Spark and rose. "Come on, lets get to it before we go down with the....wh-whatever were on." She said woth comfusion. The alcohol was starting to get to her. She tried to take a step but almost feel over attempting to. "Woah! And lets hurry too. I dont think ill be able to stand on my own much longer." She noticed she was lossing her sense of perception and ecerything seemed wobbly.

Stacy watched as rose poked at the bruise. "You really should let one of us carry you..." And then Morning star came in. Stacy looked at him with worry. She then went to Roses other side to help spark a litle although she knew eventually she would need help getting around. Her mind was already pretty fogged up.

Stacy shook her head and almost feel over. She steady herself and smiled. "Sorry i accedentaly drank all of it. I think im getting worse by the minute. I shouldnt have drank it and you shouldnt be drinking anything either. Rose needs us more now than ever." She said looking back at her with worry.

Stacy nodded and started to follow rose turning back to Spark. "Come on Spark, we cant waste time." She then noticed Rose do a little trip thing and that she was limping. "Uhh, rose...youre limping. Maybe you should let one of carry you...i just hope im not to drunk to be able to make it to the life boats." She said in a low voice to keep her from shaking.

After a few minutes Stacy went to take another drink of her mix and found the bottle empty. She realized she had been drinking it wothout thinking. She shakily put down the bottle on the floor. "Buck..." She looked around for more. She knew she didnt have anymore with her in her saddle bags. She went up to Rose staggering a bit. "Hey Rose, what are we going to do?" She asked to her surprise that she was ablle to say it without studdering. She just hopped that she couldnt smeel the alcohol on her breath.

Stacy folowed rose back inside shakily. She opened her saddle bag and pulled out a small bottle filled with another one of her mixes. She fummbled with the cap trying to get it open, and eventually she did. She started drinking down the bottle but not to fast. She didnt want to get drunk just enough to take the edge off her panicing. "Why the buck is this happening?" She said her voice still shaking with fear and saoking wet.

Stacy heard spark call out to her and rose. The ship lurched again and she watched in horror as rose went over board. Stacy cried out to her as if it would save her. She rushed to the edge to look for her and found her hangging on a vineof some sort. Stacy quickly grabbed hold of it and attempted to pull her up but had to ask spark for help.

After a few seconds Stacy hathered her wits. It had begin to rain heavily imparing her vision. She looked around to see if she could spot rose. "Rose! Rose!" She cried out. They needed to get off the deck and quick. Stacy got up and looked for rose as the rain beat down on her.

Stacy was in shock and couldnt move from where she was at. Almost going over board brought back all the stress she had gotten rid of earlier. It all came back at once and she broke out into tears. She had no idea what to do, she couldnt even look to see if rose was ok...
