Chapter 3. Learning on a Whiff.
A nurse wakes me and shoves a piece of paper in my face and says. “Please sign this and you’re free to leave.” She says in the most whiniest way one can imagine.
“Is it noon already?” I say grouchily as I look at the clipboard lying on my chest.
“Yes, it is. You payment has been received from Miss. Dash and so you are free to go.” The whiney voice goes again. Damn that’s annoying.
“Yeah, thanks.” I say to her, very ironical. She walks out of the door and leaves me to be. I look at the clipboard I was given. I only need to write my signature on the dotted line, that shouldn’t be too hard.
After about 20 minutes of fiddling with my hooves to try and get the pencil to stay in my hoof. How do they hold even anything in the show. It is annoying how they make stuff that looks like it’s made for humans, but that the things are somehow used by humans. Maybe something in my saddleback that are standing in the corner is useful.
After digging through the yodeling sausages and the other crap that Discord stuffed in it I find nothing that was of use. Just some food and sacs of goo. But then I find something useful, some pliers.
I try, like an idiot, to grab the pencil with the comically large pliers. Let’s just say that pencils weren’t made to be grabbed by pliers. So after I wasted another 10 minutes on doing something useless I try something else. Namely I just grabbed the pencil with my mouth and somehow that worked (I’m still baffled). After I made a simple signature up I put the clipboard down an I call the whiny voice nurse. She picks the paper up and walks away. Thank god (Celestia?) that she didn’t say anything. I think I’m going to name her squeaky voice nurse.
So I sag back into the bed and go back to reading some of the Daring Do books, there only were 2 parts and the rest of the books were boring child stories.
So I do what I did a lot at home, nothing. Until, after about half an hour, a rainbow colored mare enters the room. “Yeesh, and I thought I was lazy. You’re still in bed at, ” she looks at the clock in the corner, “ 2 o’clock in the morning. Get off your lazy flank and find a job to pay me those bits back.” Rainbow says to me while poking me in the chest.
“Is it that late already,” I say while looking at my ‘wristwatch’ on my hoof, “I
must’ve forgotten the time. Let’s go.” I say to her while I slip out of the bed and trot towards the door, leaving the mare staring at me.
“Hey, Wings. Wait for me!” Rainbow shouts and bolts after me.
As I walk out of the door and look into the blinding sun and the ‘sky-line’ of Ponyville a thought strikes me, that Ponyville look beautiful. You have the outer rings of the town which consist of small low built house and a few small shops from what I can tell. There are not too many ponies there, but I can see more from here in the town center. Then I hear a voice yell: “Wings, hey, wait for me.” I look back and I realized that I have walked quite the bit from the hospital.
“Wings?” I question myself as Rainbow makes an emergency stop and yells at me. “Why did you leave all of the sudden. I pay for you and you just leave me standing there. You go and apologize right now or else mister.” Rainbow growls at me.
“Wow. I’m sorry. I just kind of forgot that I was walking over here.” I say to Rainbow, trying to apologize.
“You forgot that you were walking? You aren’t very bright, are you?” Rainbow asks me, tilting her head.
“I have my moments. And why did you call me Wings?” I say to her with a grin.
“You really are stupid, aren’t you. Just look at your wings. They’re huge, like almost alicorn big.” Rainbow says while pointing at my overly large wings.
“Yeah, they are quite big. Anyway, sorry for walking away from you. I didn’t meant to do that. I don’t always pay attention to things.” I say to her, trying to think of more excuses.
“I can see. Any way you can crash at my place for some time and no, this isn’t an invitation to my bed, so get your mind out of the gutter.” Rainbow says to me while flapping a bit of the ground.
And now I have to fly for the first time. Great. I hope the ground is soft here. Rainbow flies up a bit towards a bit more solid looking cloud. “Come on. Follow me. You can fly with those things, right?”
“It’s more difficult that you think, heh, heh.” I grin stupidly at her. “I think I’ll manage.”
She sighs and flies higher. “Get your flank up here!” She flies to her cloud-home
and out of my sight.
And now I have to fly, great. I sigh and flap my wings a bit. And, surprise, I float a bit over the ground. I flap a bit harder, and hey I’m a bit higher. So I make sure that my saddlebags are secure on my back (I’m so stupid to forget them, Discord gave them to me) and flap more, right after Rainbow.
I slowly flap right to her front door and flop down on her front step. I notice she is already inside and waiting for me.
“Wow, it didn’t took you all day. Those big wings must be good for something. ” Rainbow said to me while grabbing some food from the table.
“Well I did just came from the hospital, so that should count. Right?” I say to her while walking through the cloud door. (Everything here is sooo soft.)
“Fine. So do you want something to eat. The hospital food is close to indigestible.” She says to me from under the counter.
“Sure. What do you had in mind?” I say to Rainbow while looking at the stuff she was putting on the counter.
“I was thinking of making some soup. You can never go wrong with soup. And it’s easy to make.” Rainbow says to me from behind the large steel pan she grabbed with… her mouth?
“Let me help out too.” I say to her while trying to grab some stuff with my mouth. It just falls out of my mouth.
“Nah, let me do it. It will be a lot better, trust me. You can just go crash on the couch or something.” Rainbow said while lifting the heavy looking pan onto the furnace with her mouth.
“Fine.” I grumble to her, annoyed to be seen as useless. I was that on Earth too, but that isn’t related.
So I walk into the next room and sit on the comfy looking cloud couch. This is so comfy, I could use this is as a bed. And guess what, I fell asleep. So the darkness got me again. Damn you, seducing sleep.
