Cosmic Reset

And so — the stars were no more. And with them, so was all the evil that had been done to reality.

And We return to the day when it all began.

…

Fluttershy ever so slightly opened her eyes. Even that was a monumental effort. Her head was hurting. Her body was hurting. Everything was sore and tender. Her legs felt like spaghetti, and her head like mush.


Not exactly in pain. But exhausted. Drained and Spent.


The world was spinning. She tried to remember where she was. How she got here.


… Remember …


What day was it even?

The answers were as slow and aching, as everything else.


It was the day when it all began.

When was that again? It would be the day after yesterday. That seemed to make sense.


… Sense …


Why did the word seam almost alien to her?


She felt like she had just woken up from a horrible dream, or more like a nightmare, worse than any other. At least. That's what she really wished it was. And somewhere in the back of her mind. She knew that was true.


It was all just a dream now, a thing that might as well never have happened at all. For in a way. It hadn't.


That though filled her with comfort.


…Wish…


She remembered she wished the world would go back to normal. To be like this wonderful memory of hers.Where everyone was standing around, on an open field, looking like they too wished it was all a dream.


And in a way. They were right. She knew they were. Twough her head swam to much for her to comprehend why, or how she knew. She knew that this was real now, and that the other thing wasnt.


It filled her little aching soul with joy when the blurry world slowly swam into focus, as she realized she wasnt seing the world through her third eye anymore. Her third eye had closed so hard it had ceased to exist. As had all of her powers. Powers she posessed before it all began.


Wasnt that what she had wanted? For things to go back to normal? And they had – She had – Back to what she had been, even before she through Discord gained a taste of that chaos power.

She was just a pegasus again. Just a little pony.


She had gotten her wish. Hadn't she?


Maybe she had snapped back a little to hard?


She wasn't sure what that meant. It was teedering on the brink of her mind.


To comprehend it would require the opening of a second pair of eyes. Eyes that she did not have the strength to open. It was like a muscle burned out from overuse. Just like her mind. A mind that did not want to comprehend anything. A mind that was tired of comprehending Everything.


… Everything…


… And just wanted to do nothing for a change.


Nothing but rest…


She barely had the strength to comprehend where she was. Thinking hurt. — Like everything else.

She felt burned out. Exhausted. Spent. Dried upp, Hollwed out and She felt thin, sort of like butter scraped over too much bread.


And above all else she felt like a rubber band that had finally been allowed to go slack.


She felt like she had been stretched beyond the confines of reality — stretched to cover all of existence — Like every cell of her being had been stretched so thin that it has become transparent – translucent – nonexistent. Stretched until she must have broken without breaking.


No wonder she was tired. She had had enough of Everything. She just wanted to do nothing for a while.




Note: Poor Fluttershy. It can be so Taxing to have been everything.
