IX - Recovery

Stuffy frowned, looking out the window in the bed.

What could she do now?

It was a ways down from the floor she was on.

She looked down at the ponies below.

They didn't look very happy.

She figured she should get her rest while the fractures healed.

She went to sleep.

She dreamt of riding again, only this time it was different.

The sky was orange, a sunset, instead of the night.

They flew past pegasi.

She could even feel her mane in the wind.

Then she felt falling again.

She woke before she hit the ground in her dream.

When she did, there were some foals in the room.

"Stuffy, awe you still going to make mowa toys?" One asked, with a cute kind of accent.

"Yes, but I'm pretty hurt right now, sorry." She apologized.

They didn't quite understand, but still cantered out.

A few days later, they let her go.

She trotted to the field where she left Snap.

He was there with Ace.

"Hi, Stuffy. You can have him back." He greeted.

"Thanks, Ace." She responded.

"Welcome."

Ace trotted off.

She decided that she'd build a larger home to have Snap in.
