"He doesn't seem to be hurt'n anymore." Apple Bloom kept an eye on Comet as he slept peacefully in one of the sick bay cots. Sweetie Belle and Button Mash Sat on opposite ends of the cot neither of them were talking to each other. Apple Bloom could understand why Button wasn't to pleased at Sweetie because of her little stunt, but the lover's spat was certainly hurting her moral, as the two of them just nodded at her statement and refused to say anything. "Did Storm think of any reason why them books were blank?"
"No, he didn't." Sweetie continued to look down at the floor avoiding eye contact. She cast a quick glance at Button Mash his glare made her immediately look down in shame.
"You shouldn't have done that," was all that he said. Was all that he was willing to say.
"It was all I could do," she said. "I couldn't order Amythest to do it, I couldn't order the rest of Dinky's family away." She didn't look up from the rocks. "I'm sorry."
"Well ah'd recon we should head up to wait for Scootaloo." Applebloom spoke up after a very long and uncomfortable pause. Both Button and Sweetie Belle nodded and got up hurrying out of the room. "Ya'll let me know if he gets up right?" She asks the twins as she walks after them. The two medical ponies just looked up from their book and nodded. "Good." She turned around and headed up.
Storm wasn't in the treasure room of his cave, but was standing guard at the mouth of the cave. He looked down as the three ponies came out of the CMC's new base. "I have not yet seen Scootaloo on the horizon." He roared with his normal voice. "Though I suspect that she will be arriving soon." even without yelling his voice echoed off of the near by mountains.
"That's good. I really could use Scootaloo's gumption right about now." Applebloom sat down next to him. Button just stood at the front of the cave glaring out at the mountain range. Two ponies came out and joined them.
"Hey." Amythest stood next to him. "I heard what happened." Her sister hurried over to Sweetie Belle. "I would take up the books. It's my job. But I'm not going to lie I'm glad that Sweetie would take that responsibility from me." Button watched as Dinky hugged Sweetie Belle. "She's sorry. And so am I." Button nodded and went over to Sweetie Belle.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Dinky said again and again. Sweetie looked up as Button came up to him.
"It's okay Dinky." She said. Could you keep look out for Scootaloo with Storm and Apple Bloom." The little unicorn nodded, and ran up Storm's back . "I'm sorry Buttton." She still looked down on the ground.
"No I'm sorry Sweetie." He gave her a hug. "This is why I care about you. Because you care about everypony else." He smiled as she looked up at him. "Just please care for yourself too. Please." She sniffed an hugged him.
"Button and Sweetie sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Dinky giggled from the top of Storm's head.
"Here they come!" The draconic voice boomed though the mountains.
"Where?!" Applebloom looked around. Storm pointed to a spot on the horizon. As the pegasi and griffons began to approach the mountains.
"Is everypony okay?" Scootaloo asked landing hard.
"Define okay?" Button Mash asked. Gruff landed with the other gryphons.
"They're here to help. Where's Rumble, where's Comet."
"They're in the Medical Bay." Applebloom turned and lead them in. Pound and Monsoon collapsed on the ground.
"We're total crash but it's okay. You guys go on." Sweetie lead the way to the bottom where the medical bay was. Gruff moved though rows of beds to where Comet Dust was lying unconscious on his own bed.
"This is him?" Morphine nodded. Gruff pulled three feathers and tied them to a dream catcher. "BEGONE!" He threw it down on Comet who instantly jerked awake. "That was faster than expected." Gruff said stepping back.
