28.

-
29.
>green determinedly left blue dream's apartment and went 4 doors down

41.

43.
>"oh... hi green" she said in a tone to match
-
44.
>"hey... uhm... i didnt hear from ya... since, i saw you at the hospital"

-
46.
>"oh... right... yeah i just needed auhh.. week off thats all."
-
47.
>"its just, not like you to disappear ... i was scared a bit"
-
48.
>"well dont be. ill be back on shift next wednesday." deep rest said with sudden lucidness, wanting to slink back inside
-
49.
>"deep rest, please... i just wanted to make sure you're ok" green put a steady hoof on the door to keep it from closing all the way
-
50.
>"whydoyoucare" she mumbled unintelligably
-
51.
>green now had a reason to stop the door
-
52.
>"what?"
-
53.
>"why do you care about me green." deep rest started to get fire behind her eyes
-
54.
-
55.
>"what do you mean? youre one of my best friends"
-
56.
>deep rest pulled her door back open
-
57.
>"LOOK where you are Green. You're TWENTY SIX with a downtown condo and making more money than Blue Dream and I will EVER SEE in our ENTIRE LIVES!"
-
58.
>"deep i uh-"
-
59.
>"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN THE PROJECTS FUCKING AROUND WITH US!?"
-
60.
>"deep rest..." green forced out, "youve had my back more than-"
-
61.
>"GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR FLANK, FEATHERBRAIN! IM PUSHING FORTY. IM TOO STUPID TO FINISH COLLEGE. I HAVE CELESTIA KNOWS HOW MANY FOALS RUNNING AROUND THAT ILL NEVER KNOW OR SEE AGAIN. AND I **CANT EVEN DO THE ONE FUCKING THING RIGHT THAT I GOT MY FUCKING CUTIE MARK IN!!**" all shot like bullets straight from deep's worn and furious red eyes into green's young and full lime eyes,
-
62.
>"DEEP rest, please!" deep rest tilted her head down and narrowed her eyes to listen, "i just... i dont know why we became friends, i just have this feeling that-"
-
63.
>"WHAT. you want me to FUCK YOU!? IS THAT THE NEXT THING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!?"
-
64.
>green was hopelessly taken back
-
65.
>but also would be lying if i said green didnt think about it
-
66.
>"no, i just uh..."
-
67.
>"duuUUUUuuuh WHAT." deep rest mocked, getting in greens grille
-
68.
>"youve just done so much for me i thought id try to-"
-
69.
>HAGGHHHHSSSSSSS
-
70.
>deep rest barred all of her fangs and hissed inches away from greens face
-
71.
>pure bloodthirsty murder behind her pinprick pupils
-
72.
>eyes beaming pure fear and rage to the core of green's snowpity
-
73.
>and a split second later, deep rests door crashed shut, the shockwave from the slam knocking over a broom against the wall 6 doors down
-
74.
>green stood there, frozen like a statue, with nothing but the city ambience
-
75.
-
76.
>after a solid 10 seconds, green shakily walked on eggshells back to blue dreams corner unit
-
77.
>being a brick building and considerably far, she doubted blue dream heard the altercation
-
78.
>a burning coal was lodged in green's throat, already starting to crinkle the edges of her mouth
-
79.
>the hiss
-
80.
>bats only do that when they're seconds away from tearing your throat out
-
81.
>or in a more civilized equestria, if they really fucking hate you
-
82.
>all of the past years of their friendship, an iron triangle, just deleted
-
83.
>nopony can say blue dream didnt warn her
-
84.
>"howd it go?" blue dream asked, green barely noticing she was inside
-
85.
>"she's mad."
-
86.
>the tears were coming, but green desperately tried to hold frame in front of blue dream,
-
87.
>"whatd she say?"
-
88.
>she didnt want to say it
-
89.
>HIK
-
90.
>"yuuwurightdreamie... i shuudntvedunnthat..." green creaked out, avoiding eye contact,
-
91.
>"Greenie. What did she say to you?"
-
92.
>blue dream got close
-
93.
>HIHIKKK-...
-
94.
>"sheehzzedatmee..."
-
95.
>"what." a statement
-
96.
>"sheeeehissed in my face..."
-
97.
>blue dream locked in, immediately starting to leave,
-
98.
>"fuck me... let me handle this."
-
99.
>"WAIT blue dream..."
-
100.
>blue dream stopped in her tracks to take one last concern
-
101.
>"should i go?..." green naïvely asked
-
102.
>"yeah." blue dream said with determined nod
-
103.
>and like a ninja, green was taking off from the back balcony, flying with hot tears in her eyes all the way home

>4 days later, green fn was mozying about her apartment
-
108.
>she had long gotten over the incident, and was on an off day from her pickup basketball
-
109.
>and already accepted she might never see deep rest and blue dream ever again
-
110.
>it sucks, but even a pony as sympathetic as green has her limits
-
111.
>no matter how depressed you are or how much you hate yourself, theres 0 excuses for being an asshole
-
112.
>much less hissing in a ponys face like youre gonna murder them on the spot
-
113.
>youd think a pony with ten years on green would know that
-
114.
>whatever, friends come and go i guess
-
115.
>she tried to hold on to the good memories, the concerts, the bat parties, the 3 AM Wawa runs
-
116.
>none of her other friends had that spicy fierceness behind them
-
117.
>she did still wonder what happened after blue dreams ominous command to flee the scene
-
118.
>little did Green FN know, she was about to find out
-
119.
>starting with a few hooftaps on her door
-
120.
-
121.
>"can i help you-?"
-
122.
>"hey."
-
123.
>"Hi . . ."
-
124.
>deep rest stood at her doorway, nurse cap tied around the top of her long mane, let down so all the unkempt loose hairs could breathe
-
125.
>and a thick royal purple scarf tied around her neck
-
126.
>"hey uhm... i just wanted to talk"
-
127.
>"Ok."
-
128.
>"can, can i come in?"
-
129.
>'are you gonna threaten to Fucking kill me again?' ran through greens head
-
130.
>"Sure."
-
131.
>the slate grey pone walked on eggshells into greens apartment, uncharacteristically nervous
-
132.
>with her wings stiff, she tip-hooved over to greens couch and sat down on the middle-left
-
133.
>"come here." she quietly said, lightly tapping her right side
-
134.
>"Want a Cider?" green offered, next to her fridge
-
135.
>"im ok."
-
136.
>green nervously started to come over to the apologetic looking bat
-
137.
>slowly sat down on her own couch
-
138.
>to be met by deep rest's front hooves pulling her sideways into a tight hug
-
139.
>green was more wierded out than consoled, especially by the crunchy sniffle that came from her snoot
-
140.
>"ohluna..." deep rest whispered before pulling herself away to catch her breath, "I'm..." a mid-breath sob, "im not good at this making up thing..."
-
141.
>"whats with the scarf? its the middle of summer" green asked
-
142.
>deep rest shamefully looked away and pulled the thick bundle down
-
143.
>revealing a huge, ugly mass of purple, black and crimson that gnarled a chunk of skin right over the side of her throat
-
144.
>"miamor cadenza what in tartarus happened?"
-
145.
-
146.
>blue dream bucked open the door to deep rest's
-
147.
>the locks were always flimsy in this place
-
148.
>"What the fuck do you want!?" the inebriated grey bat yelled from the shadows
-
149.
>"You tell me! What just happened with you and Greenie"
-
150.
>"I told her to fuck off, she was being annoying."
-
151.
>"thats all huh."
-
152.
>"yeah" deep rest started swaggardly stumbling over to her combatant in the hallway
-
153.
>"nothing else?"
-
154.
>"uh huh"
-
155.
>"then explain to me WHY SHE JUST CAME BACK TO ME BAWLING HER EYES OUT." blue dream barked in her face
-
156.
>"I HISSED AT HER SO WHAT!?"
-
157.
>"WHAT LIKE ONE OF YOUR SHITBAG EXES!?"
-
158.
>"THAT LITTLE FAGGOTS BEEN BITING OUR ANKLES FOR THREE YEARS NOW SHE SHOULD KNOW I DIDNT MEAN IT"
-
159.
>blue dream saw red
-
160.
>"SO BAILING HER OUT OF JAIL AFTER TAKING *YOUR* FALL DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING NOW HUH!? YOURE JUST UP AND BURNING BRIDGES BECAUSE YOURE A LITTLE SAD!?"
-
161.
>"FUCK YOU BLUEY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I GO THROUGH EVERY CELESTIA-DAMN TIME SOMEPONY *LITERALLY DIES* IN FRONT OF ME."
-
162.
>"I KNOW EXACTLY"
-
163.
>"OH YEAH!?"
-
164.
>"AND SO DOES GREEN, AND I DONT SEE HER TEARING HER LIFE APART"
-
165.
>"SHE WOULDNT KNOW STRUGGLE IF IT JAMMED ITS COCK DOWN HER THROAT!"
-
166.
>"SHE COULD KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS AND YOU KNOW IT"
-
167.
>deep rest scoffed
-
168.
>"not from what i saw."
-
169.
>"so what? you know shes too sweet to."
-
170.
>the tone went from barking insults at each other to stern convictions
-
171.
>"i dont want sweet in my life."
-
172.
>"yeah you do."
-
173.
>"I have nothing to lose anymore. What's a friend?" deep rest said in sudden smug calmness, starting to swagger her body side to side
-
174.
>blue dream was silenced momentarily
-
175.
>"Go on Dreamie. SWING. DO IT!" deep rest taunted
-
176.
>this depressive episode is no news to blue dream
-
177.
>a well worn pattern of cycling from bottomless self hatred to blinding rage to flippantly ruining everything dear to her while having pride in doing it
-
178.
>taking full advantage of the fact that not wanting to harm your friends is the ground floor for any good relationship
-
179.
-
180.
>she wanted blue dream to bitch out
-
181.
>but that's not what friends do
-
182.
>this was gonna be the day deep rest gets what she wants
-
183.
>something to lose
-
184.
>the first swing was made, its beatdown time
-
185.
>the two baps tumbled left and right as they wrestled each other with erratic movements
-
186.
>hisses, slashes and impacts with furniture ripped through the apartment
-
187.
>finally ending up with blue dream jamming deep rest in the corner of the couch and wall
-
188.
>both mares of similar statue, bluey always had the edge physically while deep rest won with pure chaos and aggression
-
189.
>now the tables had turned
-
190.
>blue's fangs were fully barred, her pupils shrunken to needlepoints
-
191.
>on the other side, the once fierce deep rest cowering for her life with huge eyes beaming back two reflections of her dominator
-
192.
>there was something to lose
-
193.
>"AAAAHHHHGHGHHHHHHHHHH" deep rest wailed at the top of her lungs in a sickening tone
-
194.
>blue dream drove her head down with a wide open mouth
-
195.
-
196.
>chomping full force on the right side of her throat
-
197.
>the blue bat felt the taste of salt trickle in through her four canines, a steady flow coming through the top set
-
198.
>a direct hit right on the jugular
-
199.
>but thats not all she was here to do
-
200.
>once the taste started to hit, she sucked deeply through her fangs, fresh hot blood filling her mouth with the lustful salty taste
-
201.
>deep rest's limp body writhedly contracting on each pull below a stunned, lifeless expression
-
202.
>1 slurp...
-
203.
>2 slurp...
-
204.
>3 slurp...
-
205.
>4 . . .
-
206.
>at the top of the suck, blue dream yanked her fangs out, a few droplets of blood flying behind her
-
207.
>deep rest lay pale on the floor, ragged breaths keeping light behind her half rolled eyes
-
208.
>blue dream wet her hoof with her tounge and wiped away the blood around her entry wound
-
209.
>no bleeding
-
210.
>she put her ear down to confirm
-
211.
>hearing heavy pulses and the sound of thin but rushing blood, nothing leaking out through the vein
-
212.
>perfectly executed
-
213.
>she took just enough to send a message, but not enough that a nice 12 hour nap wont replenish
-
214.
>a sour aftertaste started to settle onto blue dream's tounge
-
215.
>mango
-
216.
>blue dream moved up to the living cadaver's ear
-
217.
>"i know you're not out yet. on wednesday, you're gonna go to Green FN's house and make up with her. if you're home before 8, ill rip you apart limb from limb and keep you alive for all of it."
-
218.
>a slight twitch in deep rest's right eye and a crackly breath was all she got in response
-
219.
>she'll be fine.
-
220.
-
221.
>green was speechless
-
222.
>but also knowing she had it coming just from the look in blue dream's eyes
-
223.
>somehow though, deep rest looked more uncomfortable and shaken up by being in green's house than on the literal brink of death
-
224.
>even though all she saw was green's attentive, slightly curious face,
-
225.
>"it's just... like..."
-
226.
>deep bitchily looked away and threw her hooves up for a split second
-
227.
>she squeezed her eyes hard
-
228.
>"i dont even know where tuhhSTART"
-
229.
>two more sobs forced their way out
-
230.
>"deersleztiaimsuchamessssSSssSsss" underlined a long sob
-
231.
>"well, i mean... you could say sorry?" green offered, having as little idea what to do as her friend
-
232.
>"sorry?" deep rest stopped crying for a second, locking back into being dismissive, "what the fuck is 'sorry' gonna do?"
-
233.
>"i mean... i dont know realistically" a truth from green
-
234.
>awkward silence
-
235.
>more awkward silence
-
236.
>a nervous throat clear from deep rest
-
237.
>"you know..."
-
238.
>deep rest raised her eyebrows to listen
-
239.
>"you remind me a lot of somepony"
-
240.
>"who?"
-
241.
>"my moms mom, she was a nurse too and mom always told me she had a spine of steel, even though i never knew her"
-
242.
>"your grandma?"
-
243.
>"yeah"
-
244.
>"Wow. way to make me feel old." deep rest gave the ever so slightest smirk under her sarcastic remark
-
245.
>a thousand pound weight had just been lifted off of the air
-
246.
>"i didnt mean it like *that* come on now"
-
247.
>deep rest's smile grew
-
248.
>"yeah, but... so... you obviously know what i do right?" she said, nervously tensing up
-
249.
-
250.
>"yeah"
-
251.
>"well, even though i, try my damndest, i cant save everypony..."
-
252.
>"blue dream already told me, i know"
-
253.
>"oh ok." deep rest relaxed again, relieved that she didn't have to go into painstaking detail
-
254.
>"what was their name?"
-
255.
>"Stormin' Away, he was like. early 20s. pegasus. sprinter flyer build. got in a *naaa-sty* crash."
-
256.
>green tuned in now that deep rest was in story telling mode
-
257.
>"so our dispatch blew the fuck up at like... 7:30. like, 4 calls to the same address. EMTs get the rig ready, *I* even jumped in the ambulance, haul ass there, it was like, 10 blocks from Uptown. get on the scene, and it's *baaaaaaad.*"
-
258.
>deep rest's full eyes stared into green's with a thousand yard stare
-
259.
>if they were windows to her mind, green would be seeing a full replay of the incident
-
260.
>"But." she quickly recovered with a dismissive hoof shake
-
261.
>"I've seen worse. so we get him on the gurney, he's obviously out like a light but he has a pulse. only problem is, fucker's bleeding out of 3 arteries and we only had 2 tourniquets in the rig."
-
262.
>"did you have a lighter?" green semi-jokingly asked
-
263.
>"fuckin' night shift stole it before i clocked in." not missing a beat, "anyway, so we tie up the ones that are squirting and i'm pounding *hard* on this colt trying to keep his heart going. i know we have maybe three minutes to get him in, and we're close so i knew we could make it if we hauled flank. but... you wanna know what happened?"
-
264.
>green was on the edge of her seat
-
265.
-
266.
>"we hit the *celestia-damn, motherfucking train crossing*"
-
267.
>green put it together
-
268.
>"and im yellin' at the driver like 'GO LEFT! GO LEFT!' thinking we could, you know, go a few blocks down and get around the backside and this fucker was *looong* too. but... i heard it..."
-
269.
>green was still locked in
-
270.
>"i heard the brakes squealing, and... and..." her lips pursed, "it just... stopped..." whimpered out her thoat
-
271.
>now green was getting sad as deep rest shook her head
-
272.
>"it just... stopped."
-
273.
>her mood sank like a rock
-
274.
>"wow, im... really sorry he had to go out like that..."
-
275.
>deep rest seemed to be going through another cycle
-
276.
>it pained green to watch her suffer like this
-
277.
>even if anypony else is calloused by this constant pattern
-
278.
>"you know all about that, dont you green" deep rest said directly
-
279.
>green solemnly shook her head
-
280.
>but even amongst the heavy air, a fucked up joke made it up to her brain
-
281.
>a gut-busting, pitch black roast that started to curl the sides of her mouth into a shit eating grin
-
282.
>"what?" deep rest asked
-
283.
>green literally bit her tounge
-
284.
>"i dont wanna say it..."
-
285.
>"whaAAat?" deep jabbed her with a hoof
-
286.
>"its really messed up..."
-
287.
>"whaaaAAAAAAAAat!" with a hearty shove
-
288.
>green was chomping on her bottom lip in a full smile
-
289.
>"come OOOOOOOOooon green tell meeee!"
-
290.
>deep rest was fully leaned into green, pushing for the big reveal
-
291.
-
292.
-
293.
>"at least mom made it to a hospital bed"
-
294.
>deep rest's mouth silently curled up
-
295.
>her contagious smile infecting green
-
296.
>"ohmyluna FUCK YOUUUUuuuuuuu!" both mares started laughing their asses off as deep rest aggressively play fought with green
-
297.
>green just curling up and letting the grey bat beat her to death with a couch pillow
-
298.
>"youre LUCK-y YOU'n MORning GLORy are so ffffPHUCKING CUTE TOGETHER or I'D-ve PUT you IN the GROUND AGES AGO!" deep rest hurled out amongst the roughousing
-
299.
>green was wheezing with laughter under all of deep rest's attacks
-
300.
>and 5 long minutes later, both of them finally stopped to catch their breath
-
301.
>green recovered from her ab workout, eyes red with tears from laughing so hard
-
302.
>deep rest sitting right on her chest with folded legs, panting from all her effort in beating up the black mare
-
303.
>only then registering how lewd it actually looked
-
304.
-
305.
>"this turn you on?" deep rest chirped
-
306.
>"you know it."
-
307.
>"county sheriff was too."
-
308.
>"i bet my tounge's better."
-
309.
>deep rest gave a bewildered look of 'im too old for this shit' and started to unmount from green to stand up
-
310.
>"*sighhhhhhh okayyyyyy* thats my cue to go home now"
-
311.
>green laughed again, still feeling it in her abs
-
312.
>soon following in standing up
-
313.
>"what time is it anyway?"
-
314.
>deep rest whipped out her flip phone
-
315.
>"9:30."
-
316.
>on a wednesday night nonetheless
