@,

 

Ash wasn’t sure what just happened but something told him that it was actually impossible. Yet here it was, happening right in front of him. He was starting to seriously consider the possibility that he was actually in a ditch somewhere, bleeding out and hallucinating hard.

 

“Oh well, might as well see where this fever dream leads.” Ash muttered to himself quietly while following the impossible pink pony.

@@Star Saber,

 

Pinkie Pie happily bounced up and down as she led Ash to the hospital, they'd take care of him if she said that she knew him. She led him inside of the Hospital and up to the front desk, She prepared to speak but then remembered that she couldn't. She looked at Ash and grumbled while pointing at her mouth, signaling, "I need to talk." But she had promised that she wouldn't so she couldn't.

He set down the bottle of scotch and slaid back in his chair, "First, I sort of understand about those cells but you're accepting your limitations. Don't. They are just constraints that hold you back. You have to know that you're better than those limitations,  sky is the limit so shoot for the stars, I did and now I'm sleeping with one. I'm pretty sure you could at least try to have a better attitude. One way you could start is apologizing. Remember the way you treated Applejack, that wasn't right and you and I know it. Why don't you say you're sorry?"

 

Night Tracer reflected on what Electron had initally said. He then evaluated it closely then something in specific, "Brain Surgery?" He asked, mulling it over. He had boat loads of bits just not with him, then again they'd be easy to obtain. "Yeah, I could afford that. Would you want to?" Night Tracer offered.

 

"What the hell are you thinking," he thought to himself at first, then he delved a little deeper into the thought. "You're preventing another you, dipshit. You don't want him to do what you did to her." He almost turned his friendly face into a doubting one but he kept his offer on the table and didn't chance giving Electron the wrong impression.

rune as still 'leading' a parade through the streets, singing and dancing all the while.

 

he sung the chorus, making the music louder still. "because im happy~!"

 

at this point, he was glad so many ponies had joined him, since this was really a song that needed back-ups singers.

 

he heard the crowd: "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof!"

 

"because im happy~!"

 

"clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth!"

 

they sang the rest of the chorus.

@, 

Electron Wave Storm simply saw this as almost too good to be true. So much so, that he even questioned it, "Wait. Huh? Who in the frick do you know that could possibly initiate surgery? And it's worse because if it does get done, I'm gonna need cells replaced. Which I doubt seriously that there's anypony who could do something like that. And being on the weather team, yeah that's my job by the way, I've found myself farther away than before."

 

He got up for a moment to think, "Now, don't get me wrong here, I like being a prick. But it's not all of who I was as a pony. I was a friendly jerk before that cloud thing, and now I'm just a jerk. There's not a single bone in my body that wants to apologize to...what's her name? Applejack? Anyway,  not one part of me wants to apologize to her, even though I know it's the right thing to do. But still, who can do surgery? Tell me, dangit!"

@,

 

Night Tracer blinked lazily at Electron who perhaps asked the stupidest question he could possibly ask. Night Tracer rolled his eyes and sighed, "I don't know maybe a doctor. It's not like that's the reason we employed them or anything." Night Tracer said cynically. 

[J.R. 3,183]

@, 

Electron Wave Storm thought about it for a moment. It sounded like a good idea, "Alright dude. If you're sure. So,, where exactly? That hospital on the Southeast Corner of the business area? Whenever you're ready, I mean, I do want to better myself, so....thank...you..."

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

@,

 

Night Tracer hopped up out of the chair and tossed the bottle of Scotch to Electron, "Keep it. I'll pay Celestia back. Perhaps you could drink some before we get there, that way I don't have to pay to put you under." He stated.

 

He walked out of the room expecting Electron to follow, "Oh, but one condition. Or else I don't pay for shit, You have to apologize to Applejack. Let's go!" He exclaimed then bolted down the halls leaving Electron in the dust.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Electron Wave Storm was stunned for a moment before getting up and flying after him. He looked at a semi-expensive vase in the place and was like, "One last jackass move before I'm fixed...hehe...."

 

He then bucked the Sun-Moon Vase over. If anypony would ask, he would just say it was the wind later on, "Hey wait up, ya prick! I promise I'll apologize!" He immediately drank all the Scotch, and tossed the bottle out the window while following NT.

Tyra nodded, and watched as Lorec put some distance between the two of them. He began preparing himself for battle, and she drew her axe as he drew his sword.

 

...only, he only kept it out for a few seconds, then sheathed it and put up his fists. Was he suggesting hand-to-hoof combat?

She returned her axe to its harness, respecting his combat style.

 

She smirked and dragged her hoof again, and suddenly burst into a straight charge for the minotaur, planning to headbutt him square in the torso.

Lorec's face remained stoic, as he prepared to intercept Tyra's charge. He brought his left fist back and began to run at Tyra, intending to throw a slug of a punch. As he charged towards her, he let the punch rip downward when he got in close, pouring a great deal of might into the blow. She would be hard to hit, given her size. If the difference in mass started to prove too cumbersome, he would probably have to start setting traps.

Tyra glanced up and spotted Lorec's fist coming down as its owner charged at her. She would survive such an attack, but it would hurt, even with her helmet.

She would have to act fast.

 

She side-stepped, just barely avoiding the fist, and reeled back her foreleg before hopping up to his face, attempting to slug him on the jaw.

Night Tracer led Electron out of the Princesses' Living Quarters, and down the streets of Bangcolt and then came to a abupt stop at AJ's bar which was nothing but rubble. Night Tracer was appalled, he turned around to Electron, "Really? This. Why the buck do I even try," he put his hoof to his head and sighed.

 

"Listen, I don't know what happened here and I pray she wasn't in there but I have some sick feeling that you knew about this and I'm... buck this I'm so done. Just apologize and get me when you've done so." Night Tracer walked away and instead of going back home to sleep he walked over to the spa. He figured he needed a break and it would be more beneficial than rest, besides it loosen him up before he went out with Celestia. 

 

He walked into the spa and trotted over to the registration desk, "I'll pay when I'm done." He said before walking over to the hot tub where Yuki and Rarity were, He slid in and sunk down and closed his eyes. He sat on the opposite side from the two and didn't say a word. Nor did he intend to unless they said anything.

Kazas, tail still intertwined with Vera's as he heard the anouncement, excitedly started to tremble. " Vera, they're starting! Lets go!"

Vera took note of what was happening, and nodded, "Well, we should go find some good seats to sit in huh? Where should we watch the fight from, Kazy?" She asked with her tail still interlocking with Kazas's out of pure affection. "I wonder what he would like to do later...."

"No..." Rarity said hesitantly, completely ignoring the pegasus that was sitting across from them. She had more important things to worry about.

 

"Well...yes. I think so. It's just the little things. Like earlier today. I wake up, and he's made me this wonderful breakfast in bed.. Then he gives me incredibly expensive tickets to Vinyl and Octavia's Hall, complete with a note with some scribbled out words that I..."

 

She was finally forced to confront what she had been putting off for so long. She sat up a little in the hottub, hooves placed under her chin in an expression of hoplessness.

 

"Mrs. Ice, I don't know what to do..."

@,

Yuki looked at the pegasus, but didn't pay any attention to him. She turned to Rarity and put a hoof to her shoulder, "Rarity, that sounds really nice of him. And what's more, is that, he doesn't even cook unless it's somepony he cares for. Haha, the only other pony he ever cooked for was me, when he was 8. One time, he came home from school, and saw I was tired from working all day. I'll never forget his little voice saying, 'Mommy, you stay here. I'll make dinner tonight.' Sure, he was young and kinda caused a smokescreen in the house, but I was touched by his thought, and I just felt so...." her voice started to break a little from tears of joy.

 

She cleared her throat before continuing, "Sorry about that. And like I said before, he may seem silly and a bit awkward, but when it comes to those whom he cares for, he won't stop. He's always put others before himself, and I believe if he's done such good things for you, he values you highly."

 

She looked away for a moment, "He would always worry whether or not he would find that special somepony in his life, due to thinking he was a freak for being different. I told him before he left home, 'You'll know who she is, because she'll make your heart race. And if you treat her well, she'll treat you well.' And he apparently has done that pretty well."

 

She looked back to Rarity, "All I'm asking, is to give him a chance, Rarity. I'm positive that he'll be a great stallion to you. Ok?"

[Vae Victis 742]

Tyra glanced up and spotted Lorec's fist coming down as its owner charged at her. She would survive such an attack, but it would hurt, even with her helmet.

She would have to act fast.

 

She side-stepped, just barely avoiding the fist, and reeled back her foreleg before hopping up to his face, attempting to slug him on the jaw.

Lorec's fist smashed into the ground, and the resulting impact was incredible. A small crater, about two times the size of his fist, had been made in the wasteland's ground! However. There was the problem. He had shattered earth, not bone. It was then that he had realized that Tyra had sidestepped the attack, and had begun to launch a counter-assualt of her own.

 

Hell, Lorec liked this fight already.

 

With no choice but to eat the slug that Tyra was about to feed to his face, he decide that the best course of action would be not to meet the force head on, but to roll with the punches accordingly. She definitely outmatched him when it came to speed. At least, somewhat for now. So from that, Lorec determined that, if she had the strength that nearly rivaled his, that this would be a battle of endurance. Taking the blow to the face, he let force do the rest. It sent him into a near spin. Not only that, but it hurt like hell, and there were very few who could actually make him feel pain with mere, weaponless blows.

 

However, during that split second, Tyra was going to be caught in the air, as she would have to leap a great deal of height just to hit him, considering that he was a head and a half taller than most of his species. Winding up into the spin and having reeled backwards a bit, Lorec then proceeded to unleash a back fist as he spun back around. With Tyra in the air, it would be excessively hard for her to dodge. And with the extra centrifugal force from the spin, this attack would definitely have great kinetic power.

Vera took note of what was happening, and nodded, "Well, we should go find some good seats to sit in huh? Where should we watch the fight from, Kazy?" She asked with her tail still interlocking with Kazas's out of pure affection. "I wonder what he would like to do later...."

Kazas, looking around the stands, spotted his friends Alrahm, Vorrin, and Syuren. Beside Syuren, Sifana sat, looking onward, worried. The row above them was pretty empty, and while near his compatriots, would allow Kazas and Vera to sneak light kisses and the like in unnoticed. He pointed toward that row.

 

" there, just above my friends. It has a great view, don't you think, Vera?"

 

He said with a smile. Then, turning his head to see the fight before he took off for the seats with Vera, he witnessed Lorec taking Tyra's shot, and then proceeding to throw the spinning back fist.

 

" classic Lorec... Take a big shot so he can potentially deliver one seven times greater to his opponent..."

@,

Electron was stuck for a moment. He remembered that Nightingale had blew the place up. And he felt a bit sad because of NT leaving. His only way of recieving help. But to him, it didn't matter, all he wanted was to sorta make things right, "I gotta fix this. Hang on Appjack!"

 

He began to manually turn over all the rubbled from the broken bar. He cut himself several times and had callouses all over his hooves, but he eventually found her crushed, "Applejack! This is a hot mess. I was only fooling around earlier and trying to make myself known, but this? This is some ridiculous sh8t right here. Come on, get up country girl. I'm gonna help ya."

 

He picked AJ up, and put her on his back, and slowly began to walk to the hospital. When he got there, he shouted, "Quick dammit! We need help! Come on let's go! Ain't got time to waste in here guys, this pony needs help!" He shouted bossily.

 

The nurses were surprised to see the banana-colored pony asking for help. But, they immediately noticed AJ, and gave her a hospital room.

 

EWS sat outside her door for as long as the nurses took. When they were finally done, EWS went inside, "I swear if the docs didn't fix her up, they'll be the ones needing a doctor."

 

He went into her room, and when AJ would wake up, she would be in for a shocking surprise....."Psst. Appjack. You alive or what?"

@any and everybody

 

It was about three in the afternoon and Vinyl and Octavia were preparing for a big night, perhaps the biggest ever. Many reservations had been made, almost too many to get everyone in without turning down anypony. Luckily they didn't have to.

 

Octavia had just finished playing a classical piece for a small bunch of ponies who were about to leave after they finished there late lunch. Then Vinyl and Octavia would close for the next two hours to finalize their preperations. 

 

As Octavia finished her performance and walked off the stage with her Cello she was applauded by the ponies. "Thank you," she smiled and waved as she faded behind the curtain. 

 

Vinyl was waiting off stage to greet her. Octavia wiped some sweat from her forehead and gave a high hoof to Vinyl, "Another flawless performance, if I do say so myself." Octavia praised herself. Vinyl nodded to her in agreement and beamed to show support of her friend.

 

"Now, did you finish putting together the schedules for performers and let the staff know we will be making price cuts to our menu and we aren't accepting coupons?" 

 

Vinyl nodded in reaffirmation then on an unrelated note; she clopped her two forehoofs together and motioned like she was playing the piano and finally slit her throat. Octavia was shocked, "What?!? What do you mean the pianist won't show?" Vinyl shrugged. 

 

"Oh this is just splendid... that's alright. Just breathe in and out Octavia, in and out. We didn't really need her anyway." Vinyl nodded in agreement. 

 

"Alright. Let's get this place in tip top shape, alright? Tonight has to be perfect!" Vinyl grinned and offered one more high hoof to Octavia which she returned. Then they both took off in seperate directions to prepare for their big night. 

@, 

 

Cadence and Shining Armor watched as the blue nutball left and they nervously waved with their hooves, "I think we should give him the benefit of the dou--"

 

"We are not giving him the benefit of the doubt."

 

"Yeah, I didn't think so"

 

Cadence used her magic to teleport both herself and Shining Armor out of the ravine. They then walked back towards the path and laughed with each other as they joked about the "loser" stallion they freed from the ice block. 

 

"Yeah, those are the kinds of ponies that end up on the short end of the stick in one or more ways." 

 

"Looks like you and him aren't too different then."

 

Shining Armor glared, "You and I both know you're a horrible liar."

 

Cadence burst out laughing, "Anyways... I wonder how he was able to stay along in that Ice."

 

"Beats me, perhaps Twilight would know."

 

"Do you think she'd want to know?"

 

"Perhaps, knowing Twily she would."

 

Cadence put her hoof to her chin and thought for a moment, "Wait right here, I'm going to go get a chunk of that ice. Ok?"

 

"You got it babe."

 

Cadence went off back into the ravine by herself as she looked for the biggest piece of ice to perserve. She figured the bigger sample the better results. She sat there focused on the ice... not paying any mind to her surrondings. Pity... the writer was beginning to love playing Cadence...

"Ha!" Tyra smirked as Lorec took the blow to the chin, sending him into a spin. She had failed to realise, however, that she was in the air, and susceptible to a counter-attack.

 

Which is exactly what Lorec had in mind. She had noticed, a split-second too late, a backhand fist hurdling toward her from the side. With nowhere to dodge and to time to block, she took it full force.

 

A searing pain covered her side as she was flung sidewards, and rolled a few turns in the dirt before catching the ground with her hind hooves, skidding to a stop.

She shook the dirt off herself, like a dog shaking off water. It took quite a bit of force for her to feel real pain.

 

She smirked and began another straight charge, bellowing a battle cry. Like the minotaur, she was already enjoying this fight.

Lorec, smirking back, simply shook his head, chuckling a bit. He actually crossed his bandaged arms again and stood fully upright, not taking the boxing stance. He turned toward Tyra.

 

" Kids... Always wanting to charge in without thinking..."

 

It was then that a strange occurance began to envelope Lorec. The same, Goldish-brown energy that Tyra had seen flow around him before was making another appearence. Lorec's eyes configured into the same coloration, appearing pupiless. Still standing there non-chalantly, all he did was lightly stomp his hoof into the ground. And that was all it took. Cracks from the ground, originating from his hoofstomp, traveled along the barren terrain, until they stopped at a distance of five feet away from him. Directly in front of him, a rock wall rose from the soil almost immediately, barring Tyra's direct charge. Twice his height and easily wider than his arms spanning outward, the stone wall was jagged and crude, yet effective.

 

Jumping backward, Lorec would put even more distance between himself and the wall. Stretching his left hand over his shoulder, he slowly drew out the large Zweihander on his back about 1/6 of the way out of it's sheath. Keeping his hand on the pommel, he readied himself. Tyra could only possibly come from the left, the right, or from above. Surely... She didn't posess the strength to bust through the wall, did she?

Kazas followed Vera, and took a seat beside her, one row above the rest of his friends. He spoke to Vera, barely keeping an eye on the fight for now due to it not being quite heated yet, and due to his infatuation with her.

 

" By the way, Vera. It should probably be known that I'm not the only keeper of a great primal soul. Lorec is a keeper as well. And so is Syuren, Vorrin, and Alrahm. Lorec is the keeper of the Ursa King Viruden's soul, and that soul allows him control over earth, as Ezerepth allows me my flame. I'd say that this will be a-"

 

Just then, Syuren yelled out loud, cheering.

 

" OH, YOU DONE BUCKED UP NOW, SHORT STACK! LOREC'S 'BOUT TO DROP THE B.A.S.S.!"

Tyra looked up at Lorec, eyes widening as she noticed he began to glow that same goldish-brown aura as before. He tapped a hoof on the ground, sending an array of cracks spreading in the earth from it. A giant stone wall emerged from the ground, easily taller and wider than the two fighters combined!

 

She scoffed, not halting or even slowing down. "I hope he is not underestimating me," she muttered.

 

She craned her neck back and grabbed the handle of her axe in her jaw, sizing up the wall as she quickly approached it. It was jaggy and crude; it didn't seem too sturdy.

Her axe was out and ready, in case Lorec was planning to use his large sword.

 

"There," she mumbled, eyes locked onto a specific spot on the wall. Her sprint became even faster, and with a loud grunt of exertion, she leapt up toward that spot, with a quick turn so she span in the air and timed so that her shoulder would collide with the wall.

 

CRASH

 

Tyra came crashing through the wall, mentally noting Lorec had his hand behind his back. She was right.

She span so that the blade of her axe came down toward the minotaur, grunting again.

[Dust and Memories 557]

Wilhelm sighed as Nightingale left. Muttering under his breath, he said "Somehow, I doubt that 'welcome' will be anything good for my health..." However, when the bomb hit the cobblestone, he heard its clink, and then ducked a moment before the flash bomb went off out of some military instinct, and then waited, huddled in a ball like a porcupine, for the other weapon to go off. When it did, however, the bang was much more muffled than he had expected, and he lifted his head slightly to look at what had happened. When he saw the shield, he lifted a hoof to his mouth to disguise a stress-induced coughing fit when he saw what was inside, namely, the fragments of what had been a dangerous antipersonnel weapon- deadly, if Glory hadn't saved them all in the nick of time.

 

Wilhelm turned to check if everypony was okay, rising from where he had lain.Something about perhaps the situation or bad memories had incited a behavior that hadn't appeared for years- that of Sgt. de Winter, the leader of stallions. "Sitrep; any casualties? Was the blast safely contained inside the shield? What about the mare? I want information, stat!" All of this was delivered in the classic tone of giving orders, developed by officers across generations and millenia. When Sleight broke into the conversation, however, Wilhelm whirled, sword still drawn, and got halfway through barking out some order for identification before he recognized her, abruptly snapping him out of whatever state he was in. "Hello, Ms. Mist. To answer your question, I don't know. It appears to be a mare with considerable combat skills and a penchant for mayhem, accompanying our favorite yellow-bellied fencing dummy, Electron." He shrugged.

@@Orion Caelum, @, @,

Ice cleared his throat in preperation for what he had to say, "Ok guys. I know you're probably wondering how I'm here, so I'll keep it short.

 

After I blew up Carmine, I flew far away from the city into the Whitetail Forest. From there, my cryostasis activated, and I was frozen in ice for 3 days until Cadence saved my ass." He looked at Will, "I did not mean for that to happen dude, ok? I was pretty much dead, but no, Cadence felt the need to save me. And if any of you are wondering who Carmine is, ask Will, he'll tell you. In the meantime, Will, we can talk more about this later at the party at Vinyl & Octavia's Hall. Just don't say a word about it in front of Rarity. I think she's forgotten about it, no need to remind her." He then gave Will, a flyer for the event, "You should bring Anette with you, it's gonna be cool. I'm taking Rarity by the way. So...yeah." He looked at SM and Cal, "You two could go as well."

 

He then froze the explosion, and looked at Anette, "Annie, teleport that thing underground or something, before it melts. I gotta get back to my Gladiator Room, shower, and get myself looking good for my date later. I also gotta find a suit...See you guys!"

 

Ice then left everypony there as he ice skated away.

"Actually, yes. It plays good music, but I heard its food is also incredible," Trixie replied as they moved closer to the building. "Plus, I heard they're having an incredible performance here tonight, probably their biggest one ever. Come dark, you're going to find out this is best place to be in the whole of Bangcolt," she added from sincere belief. Even now, she felt herself relax as the sound of music drifted trough her ears.

 

"With all that's happened to me, i'm not sure where he'd fit in," Rarity whispered softly. "I'm not sure what we'd do, or where we'd go, or if I could make time for him.... I don't know anything, Mrs Ice. And that scares me." she admitted. Truth be told, Rarity had never even considered the idea of being with a stallion. She read cheesy romance novels, sure, and she even had her celebrity crushes, but she had always assumed it would be her and Sweetie Belle forever, enjoying the benefits of her success. The thought of something this close and real was hard for her to deal with, and it showed on her face. Pain etched into her brow like a razor, nearly undoing all of stress the spa was intended to ease.

"Yeah... i'm alive..." Applejack muttered, groggy. She coughed twice, then opened her eyes, taking a look around the room. Her eyes fell on Electron, and she leveled a gaze with him, eyes kept even as they burrowed straight into his.

 

"Let me guess..." she said in perfect monotone. "You're the one who saved me."

The mare with the leafy green mane and tail had been wandering the forest again, tired after hours of walking in search of a better place to stop and rest. She had been walking in the ravine, and thinking of resting there, when suddenly, a body winked into existence several paces away from her. Her first reaction was to panic and run, thinking she was being attacked, but as she neared the lip of the ravine, she looked back.

 

When she identified the pony that had been responsible for it, the mare stood stock still for a second. Then, slowly her face changed, becoming twisted up in raw hatred and pain. She looked like a completely different mare, and she moved as if she was making up for the time lost; she ripped her saddlebag open, reaching for the item she had been carrying all this time. The item that would solve all of her problems

 

She pulled it out. The long, curved, crystalline horn glinted beautifully in the dying light, and glowed even more beautifully as she sent magic through it. A bright white beam purer than sunlight arc'd through the air through the tip of the horn, striking Cadence dead in the chest and wrapping her in a harsh white, sparkling ball of energy. 

 

As the glow began settling, the mare's face changed, becoming soft and panicked once again as she watched the blast light up the ravine like a miniature sun. She dashed off hurriedly, disappearing off into the safety of the forest once again.

Cadence was so distracted that she paid no mind to the world around her that it cost her...

 

A beam of light hit her square in the chest and she screamed a horrid and shriller scream. The beam caused Cadence near insufferable agony. The pain was so unbelieveably great that she wished the beam would of killed her on impact. 

 

She scrunged and sprawled in agony. hell coursed through her veins and blood boiled within her body. The beam had ripped into her chest and held her in the air. She was immoblized by it, then it stopped. The pain, the agony, the horror. The seconds of torment seemed like hours and it all came to an abrupt stop. 

 

Cadence was completely drained yet she stood in midair as a clear orb kept her afloat. She would of passed if the cold tremors and electrical shock didn't keep her alive, much less; awake. Since the vibrant stings and tremors ceased she was left alone. All alone. And in that moment of bliss. The unimaginable happened... Her cutie mark as well as her magic were removed from her body and into the air it flew until it congregated above her and imploded upon itself... Just like that... it was gone... Her cutie mark, her power, Cadence's ability... was... gone. And it would Never  return.

 

The drained, fragile, and exposed Cadence then fell onto the cold, hard ground in the ravine. There she laid, eyes rolled back and unresponsive. 

 

Nothing, would ever  be the same again. In Equestria...

@,

Yuki sighed. She didn't know what to think as of this moment. Sure, on one hoof, she felt that Rarity was a decent match for Ice, considering that he would go out of his way to do stuff like this for one mare.

 

On the other, she knew how she felt. She also had the painful feeling of a stallion that didn't fit with her life---her ex-husband. But she knew that her son was nothing like her ex, so she still had confidence in him, "Believe me. I know exactly how you feel. I mean, my ex didn't fit into my life at all, and he just got up and left. And for what? All because he thought our son was nothing. But that's not true, Rarity. He isn't nothing. He's something. And to him, you're everything. What you do doesn't matter as long as it's with somepony you care about. And trust me, no matter how busy you are, he'll understand. I mean, I've taught him a long time ago, that the world isn't just about him, and he's carried that into his current lifestyle to this day."

 

She looked straight at Rarity, and continued, "I promise you, he's more than willing to incorporate you into his life. But I think inside, he's just as afraid as you are. Which is ok, fear is natural. But you can't let fear overtake you. It'll make you a nervous wreck on the inside. Also, I'm sure he'd love to be with you, but at the same time, he wouldn't like it if he would cause you strain in the long run. As much as I'd like to see my son establish a relationship, I'm gonna say it like it is: It's your choice if you wanna go through with it. And at the end of the day, he's gonna love you no matter what decision you make."

 

"Whether you choose him or not, he will be happy as long as you're happy. Ok?"
