> Forever playful > by Rainbow sparkle1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Just a "normal" day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was just a normal day in ponyville, and pinkie pie and I were hanging out pulling pranks on all sorts of ponies, we even pulled a small one on Fluttershy. We had a fun time, and we even had some pony else join our prancing spree, this pegasus with a dark pink coat, purple and yellow mane, two speakers and a microphone cutie mark, and her mane was styled almost like rarity’s mane. Anyway, we had a super fun day, and we ended it with a picnic near my cloud house. “Ahhh, what a beautiful day,” pinkie said, tired after all the pranks. “You said it,” our new friend replied, her name is Rainbow sparkle by the way. “Wow, after all those pranks, I feel wiped out” I said, finishing to set up. “If you guys want to, I can go get some food from my house," rainbow sparkle suggested, me and pinkie agreed and RS flew off A few minutes passed as we waited for her to get back, but then pinkie didn't look so good,"pinkie, are you ok?" i asked, worried. "I feel funny, like nothing familiar, i..." she said before she passed out. I panicked and rainbow sparkle came back to the picnic blanket with food, only to drop it when she landed. "What happened?!" She asked me, starring at pinkie in panic. I told her the whole story then when I finished, her eyes widened, like she understood what pinkie was going through. "We need to get het to the hospital, now!!" She exclaimed, and we flew over to the ponyville hospital with pinkie in my forehooves the whole way. > at the hospital > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While we were going to the hospital, some of our friends happened to notice and followed us the whole way. Once we got there, RS shouted to the nurses that it was an emergency, i was very confused why she was so worried, i mean pinkie just passed out, it's not that bad, or so i thought. "What's going on here?" applejack asked us, bursting through the door. "We saw you two flying towards here, is something wrong?" twilight asked right after aj. "Something has gone terribly wrong with pinkie!" RS replied, uncertainty in her tone. jeez, is it really that bad? i thought. "We'll take care of our party pony as best we can," one of the doctors said then disappeared into the hall. We waited for a long time until i broke the silence "So uh...rainbow sparkle, are you sure you know what's going on with pinkie?" i asked. "I'm sure, but i hope i'm wrong," she replied. Then the doctor came back to tell us about some really terrible news, pinkie had caught a very bad sickness that was very uncommon and only certain unlucky ponies caught it, and pinkie turned out be one of them, RS's eyes widened and then she stamped a hoof at the ground angry, i'm going to guess that she was right. He also told us that there is no cure to this and that there is a very slight chance of pinkie coming out alive. I felt tears well up in my eyes as i heard fluttershy begin to whimper softly and rarity try to calm her down. "Thank you doctor," twilight said when he finished talking, "we'll leave you to it." then we went out of the hospital, praying that they can do the best that they can to save pinkie. > Rainbow Sparkle's explanation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we got back to twilight's castle we told spike everything, and as i had expected, i saw tears forming in his eyes, we went over to the throne room and RS explained everything from how she first discovered the sickness. "Ok, i guess i'd better start from the beginning," she said then sighed. ==========================================***=========================================== when i was just a filly, my mom got very ill with the same sickness the pinkie got, and i didn't know what was going on. My father was with me and comforted me the whole time she was in the hospital. A few minutes later we went to go visit her but the doctors wouldn't let us see her. "Why won't you guys let us in the room?" my dad asked the doctor. "Well..." the doctor started, "...she has caught a very bad disease that we have no current cure for it, so the chances of your wife surviving this incident are very, very slim. I'm so very sorry sir." My heart sank, my mother was going to die, and there was nothing they could do save her. I started to sob 1 second after i heard the news, I think I saw dad tearing up as well. "Thank you for your time to tell us this sad news miss," dad said through tears, "we'll leave you to it." We went home and i ran into my bedroom to cry while dad did some research on the sickness. That's when i first heard about it, and when he said that there is no cure for it, i guess i didn't know what to expect from then on, and i hoped this would never happen to me again... ==========================================***=========================================== "...and now that it has come back to take over ponyville's party pony, i don't know what's going to happen" she finished. She was right, we don't know what to do in this situation, all that we can do now is pray that pinkie is going to be alright. Suddenly, spike burst through one of the doors and said, "twilight, it's the hospital, it's about pinkie!" Twilight grimaced and levitated the letter that spike was holding and read it closely to herself. When she finished reading it, she said "come on girls, we need to get back to the hospital, now!" We all immediately stood up and started for the hospital yet again. > Back at the hospital > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we all got back to the hospital, the nurses immediately recognized all six of us and came rushing over to us to tell us really important about pinkie. "What is it, is pinkie ok?!" Twilight asked the nurse. "Well..." nurse redheart started then sighed before continuing, "we have good news and bad news, bad news is that we still haven't found a cure for the illness, but we're doing the best we can. Good news is that she's awake, so you ponies can give her some love since I know how close of friends you seven are, she is currently in room 144, third door to your left in the right hallway." "Thanks miss," twilight said and we started to walk towards pinkie's room, "we'll give as much love as we can." Once we got to pinkie's room, she greeted us imidieatedly. "Hi guys!" she said, sounding a bit like she's sick, even though she is. "Hey pinkie darling," rarity said then asked,"how are you feeling?" "A bit drousy, but i feel fine, other than a big icky headache." "Uh, pinkie?" rainbow sparkle asked pinkie. "Yeah RS?" "I think i may know what is wrong with you." "Oh, how do you know?" "Her mother caught it before, and didn't make it out of the hospital, it was quite the story," i said, filling in RS's response. "Oh" was all pinkie could say. We talked about what to do while she was in the hospital, RS even told the story about her mother. Then the nurse came in and told us to give pinkie some rest. we agreed and left pinkie's room to give her some rest and we all went to our homes. i wanted to just go back into the hospital and comfort her through this whole situation, but i couldn't do that, i needed to let her rest, so i just decided to read some daring do in the meantime. > the next day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day i woke up to a very stressed RS, i was very confused how she even got into my house. "Wait, how did you even get into my house?" i asked her "That doesn't matter, what matters right now is pinkie, i woke up to find a urgent letter next to my bed from the hospital about pinkie." she replied My eyes went wide, and we both left my cloudhouse to warn everypony about this. Once every pony was warned, we rushed over to the hospital to see what was going on. Once we arrived, the nurse came in to tell us some really sad news, pinkie is on her last minutes, we immediately rushed over to her room to be with her when she dies. When we got there, pinkie was hooked up to more machinery than yesterday, we all were surprised to see the condition that she was in. Then she uttered just one word, "hi" "Hey pinkie" i said, still somewhat shocked. "Wow" twilight said "seems like the nurses are very serious about your sickness, i need to do some more research about this" "Yeah *cough* i agree" pinkie said, sounding like she is going to die, which i sure hope she doesn't at this point. "Ugh, normal egghead stuff, boring!" "Rainbow!" applejack replied at my complaining, "this is serious dash, pinkie is in a serious condition right now!" "Ok, ok, jeez" i knew what she meant, "i'll keep my mouth shut" "You better." she said under her breath. "Well pinkie," rarity asked,"how are you feeling darling" "A little better now that you all are here" Wait a minute, if we are the key to making pinkie better, i better tell twilight. "Twilight, i have to tell you something," i called, and twilight came over to listen to what i have to say. "Yes rainbow?" "I know i may sound like an egghead right now, but i think i know the cure to pinkie's sickness!" "Really!" she replied with joy in her voice, "how?" "You heard how she said that she felt better that we were here, well i think friendship is the cure to the sickness that she has." "Oh my gosh i think you're right rainbow! I need to tell everypony now!" Classic twilight "Hey girls" she said, alerting the others, "me and rainbow found a cure!" "Really, and how so?" rainbow sparkle asked us. after twilight explains everything... "Oh my goodness" rarity replied,"that's great" "Yay" fluttershy whispered "Yee haw" applejack cheered Everypony was happy that we all know a cure and twilight ran to the nurses to tell them the good news. When twilight returned, she told us that they let us stay with pinkie as long as we want, even past visiting hours. We stayed with pinkie the entire day, and told some great stories, and we even stayed overnight, though some nurses and doctors were confused why there were non patients in the hospital, but other nurses explained why. > after everything > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a few weeks, pinkie was back to normal. All of us had to leave the hospital if we had something to do, like I had some flying practice with the wonderbolts, twilight had to check on spike and starlight, rarity had some dress orders, fluttershy had to check on her animals, and applejack had to see how her family was back at sweet apple acres. We all had stuff to do but despite all that, we stayed with pinkie through the entire situation, and when she got relesed from the hospital, she threw a welcome back party for herself, classic pinkie pie, and we all had a blast at the party. We even all made a new friend in the meantime, we got to know more about rainbow sparkle and even learned her father is in the royal guard in canterlot, of course, rarity flipped out when she heard that part. Everything was great and if anypony else got the sickness, the nurses let their friends hang out with them until they were cured. We were all happy.
