//------------------------------// // Wake up, Twilight // Story: Storms and shadows // by Shadow Firetail //------------------------------// Shining Armor slept in the hospital wing on a bed next to Twilight's bed. He slept in the hospital wing for days. On the fifth day, the princesses came to check on him. They discovered that Shining Armor left to go find them and report her changes. Twilight had not changed as much as they wanted was still in a deep sleep. They each took turns looking after Twilight to make sure that somepony is there for her when she wakes up or when she takes a turn for the worst. On the beginning of the third week in the hospital wing, Twilight began to wake up and move. When Twilight looked over at the bed next to her and saw Shining Armor laying there asleep, she smiled her tender loving smile and trotted over to him. She patted his head which effectively woke him. When he saw that Twilight was gone from her bed, he immediately thought the worst had happened to her during the night and he began to cry. Twilight saw this and patted his shoulder and said hi. When Shining Armor turned around and looked where he heard that voice, he saw Twilight and had a huge smile on his face. He then called the nurse to check up on Twilight. They took her vital signs and a couple of blood tests. When the results came back, they were all fine. Twilight would be able to leave tomorrow. The only condition was that she stay in Canterlot for a few more weeks. The princesses ran to visit Twilight in the hospital. Luna arrived first and Celestia. " Twilight, how are you feeling today" Celestia asked in her usual velvety voice and Twilight replied in a voice that sounded like she hadn't slept for days" i am feeling a bit better but i am insanely tired". Twilight fell asleep soon after she said this. Both princesses gave Twilight a kiss on her brow but Luna gave her a special gift. Luna cast a dream spell on Twilight and gave her a blessing of sweet dreams. Twilight slept the rest of the day. The next morning, Twilight woke up and discovered that Shining Armor had fallen asleep on the bed next to her. Shining Armor woke up at the kiss of his brow and blushed a rather coltly shade of red. Twilight tried to suppress the giggles but failed miserably. Shining Armor was glad she was okay and still alive. The thought that he came very close made tears spring to his eyes and gave Twilight a big hug and cried into her shoulder. After five minutes of crying, Shining Armor regained his composure and led Twilight to the great hall for breakfast with the princesses. Twilight heard her stomach growl and realized that she hadn't eaten for three weeks. This sudden realization made her stomach growl even louder than before, causing the princesses to laugh very hard. Luna said" it looks like it is time to get Twilight something to eat, wouldn't you agree sister" Celestia replied " i agree entirely" suppressing giggles.
