//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 : Trying to walk....with a broken hoof // Story: Changeling Quest Book 1: Enemy Found // by LoveEspeon //------------------------------// Twilight was stuck in the medical tent for now. This is ridiculous!!!!she thought. Twilight sighed. Fluttershy trotted in. "You getting better Twi?" Twilight nodded. That was all she could do now. Nod. Shake her head. That's it. Why did she have to fall off a cave? Technically the top of the cave. Great Celestia was she stuck now. "I'm cramped though Fluttershy. Any exercise for an alicorn with a broken wing and hoof?" asked Twilight desperately. Fluttershy looked worried. "Are you sure? You just got injured two days ago," she pointed out. Twilight looked at her twisted wing. Fluttershy had; with great regret; twisted it back into it's original shape. Twilight had screamed loud enough for even the deafest tortoise could hear her all the way from the moon. After the painful procedure Fluttershy had sent Applejack to find some numbing herbs. Twilight had passed out from the shock. After she had woken up again at least her wing was back in shape. Twilight still flinched at the memory. It still hurt sometimes. Now Fluttershy was waiting for her answer. Twilight nodded. Fluttershy grabbed a book; who knew she would need a book out here; and flipped to the page about alicorns. "Ok so I think I'm gonna mix up the exercises between unicorns and pegasi because.........somepony tore the page about alicorns." Fluttershy held up the book. Twilight stared at it. What in Equestria did this? Well at least the exercises were easy. Twilight kept stretching her injured parts a little. At least they weren't cramped any more. After the exercises Twilight saw Fluttershy cringing. "What?" asked Twilight. "Well.....I was expecting you to scream during the exercise. But I guess that was no problem." Fluttershy pulled back her fringe with her hoof. Twilight limped over and gave her a hug. Well a kind of awkward hug. Twilight could only use one hoof while standing up on her hind legs and stretching out one wing for balance. "Nah it was fine. I feel better now. Thanks Fluttershy," said Twilight, smiling. "YEEHAW WAKE UP EVERYPONY!!!!!!!!!!!" Applejack hollered into the still morning air. Umbra yelped in surprise and began randomly firing spells here and there. Rarity woke up, grumbling. Fluttershy hid under her blanket in confusion. Pinkie laughed. Rainbow Dash, who was sleeping on a cloud, only just yawned. Twilight nearly fell off her bed in surprise. Flash smashed his head against a rock while screaming. Then they all stared blankly at AJ. She was laughing hysterically. Then they all laughed. Twilight stepped off her sleeping bag and toppled over. Well at least it healed a little. She propped herself up using her good wing and a hoof. Fluttershy helped her to walk a few steps. Then Twilight bumped into Flash. Again. Always. Twilight didn't blush that hard anymore. She was getting used to having him around. Flash grinned. "Want me to help you walk?" Twilight nodded. She did need help to walk. They couldn't stay here forever. They had a mission and for crying out loud, she and Flash were supposed to find another campsite! How were they supposed to do that now?
