I was still in shock as to what happened... Unconscious from blood loss, yes, but yet still had my mindset on if I was truly going to die...But as I thought about it more and more, I began to dream. I dreamt of Scootaloo and everyone else. We were all laughing and having a wonderful time. It was so serene, I could have sworn it was actually happening. The feel of Scoot's hand on mine, her voice talking to me, seeing the warmth of her smile..
But then I felt cold. Not alone, but as if the temperature outside had dropped dramatically. Then I felt tears, dropping on my hands and not believing where they were coming from. Scootaloo's eyes...But she was still smiling, like nothing was wrong. Then I heard her say something, though I could barely make it out...
"Wake up...", she had said, "please wake up..."
My eyes opened
It took some getting used to the light, but I had managed to see everyone around me. Scootaloo was by my bed's side, squeezing my hand, crying and hoping I was still alive. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Spike were watching with high hopes that I was alright.
"Wha-.....what's going on..?", I had muttered.
"We found you...lying on the ground...bleeding so much...", Scootaloo's sobs were utterly heavy and airy.
I tried sitting up, but the pain was so severe that it was like I had been shocked, violently, back against my pillow. My sides, legs, arms and head were all bandaged to a great extent. It hurt, immensely. But I'm glad I had made it through.
"I didn't know she would...", she gulped, "do..this..."
"How did you all find me..?", I asked.
"Well ya'see", AJ had started," we had some help."
Fluttershy had walked in without my notice
"I um...took them to where you were", she looked down.
'How did she know?', I had thought to myself.
"Dashie, well...", she went on to explain,"I had seen her days before Pinkie's party, and she was furious. I didn't know why until she told me one day....But had I known sooner..."
"All that matters is that she got what she deserved", Twilight had spoken out.
Sighing, I managed to sit up and take Scoot's hand in mine.
"I'm glad I'm still around....I would never have forgiven myself for leaving you," I said to her.
She wrapped around me gently, crying and smiling into my shoulder.
Hours had passed and I heard learned of what happened to Rainbow. It seems Applejack had Big Mac and a few others take care of her. From what she had told me, it was worse than what she did to me. But for some reason....I felt as if it wasn't needed. Not that I deserved this beating she had given me, but I just didn't feel right knowing she had any injury done. A conundrum, I know.
"Sir, you're painkillers and food are here", a nurse had said.
It didn't occur to me, but I was curious as to how long I was unconscious.
"Does anyone know how long I was out..?", I had asked.
"Three days. They had to get you an IV as soon as you hit the bed. But Scootaloo stayed with you all of the way.", Fluttershy had said with a smile.
I looked at Scoot's and smiled at her as she blushed.
"I just couldn't leave your side..", she smiled.
My food was composed of applesauce, some type of pea mash, and milk. Soft foods had seemed to have stuck with me for a while anyways.
After I had eaten, I had asked when I was able to leave.
"Well, we don't recommend it...but you could today", a doctor had told me.
Scootaloo's face was lighting up from the second he had told me that.
I of course had to be helped into a wheelchair, but there wasn't a problem. But as we started to head to the front desk to fill out all of the paper work for my leave, I saw into a room and was baffled.
It was Dash, and she was almost in a full body cast. A respirator was one thing I saw, but she was out cold and almost...lifeless. That wasn't something I wanted to dwell on, though, so I focused on getting home and spending time with Scootaloo.
As we arrived to my house, I was surprisingly able to walk into my house and to my own bed as well.
So all I was doing, was laying there with the person that mattered most in my life. The person I would've hated myself for leaving without saying goodbye. But I didn't have to worry about that.
"I love you", I whispered as she slept by my side.
...She is my forever...
