"T-Twilight?" Derpy whispered as she woke up. She realized she was in the medical tent. Oh no... What happened to me?! Derpy looked around her body, checking if she had any broken bones, which of course she didn't. She then saw her daughter, wrapped in a blue bundle, and huddled into a little ball near her. She reached her hoof out to touch her, and she was cold. As cold as snow. That's not good...
"Oh I'm sorry Derpy, what was it you wanted?" Twilight came to her, in a soft voice as to keep the aura of a cozy home.
"U-uh, is, Dinky, in hypothermia?" Twilight's face went so pity as she looked at Derpy.
"I think she is. I read in my first aid book that I should wrap her body around with warm blankets at her shoulders and, well, her body temperature was... a 31 in Celsius." Twilight looked back at Dinky. "She is in a coma, for sure, but I think I can revive her, but with a very hard healing spell. Is that okay?"
Derpy didn't know what to say. It was a common rule for ponies to treat physical injuries with physical remedies, and magical injuries with magical remedies. Her hypothermia was probably caused physically, but then again, this storm could be magical. So, should she risk her life to be injured, or death?
"*sigh* You can do it, Twilight." Derpy kneeled down to Dinky and told her. "I don't care if you aren't listening, but I just want you to know, you are the best daughter I could ever ask for. I love you." Derpy kissed her daughter, and she stepped away from her, allowing Twilight to cast the spell.
"Here it goes.." Twilight's horn lit up as she cast the spell. She was sweating a little from the new spell, and then dinky's body was wrapped in a yellow light, and then disappeared as the spell was finished.
"*pant pant* Di-did it work?" Twilight asked Derpy, with her eyes closed.
"I, I think so!" Derpy lightly touched her daughter and she was as warm as herself! The spell was a success! "*gasp!* She is all better! She is as warm as I am!" Derpy grinned as she touched Dinky's hair.
"Good. Now let's hope there isn't any side effects. Which, I need to ask, did Dinky have any, disabilities?" Derpy cringed at that word. She was continuously reminded of her 'disability' and she was sick of it. But, this was a different matter, a princess was asking if anything was wrong, in case of her safety.
"No, she didn't have anything wrong with her. She was my little muffin! She was finally able to lift up a glass of water, which is a good thing, since she was one of the first in her class to do so." Derpy smiled.
"Okay. So, if anything out of the ordinary happens to her, alert me, and I will write it down." Derpy nodded in response.
Derpy looked around the medical tent, to see if any other pony was in need of attention. She saw Rainbow Dash, typical, then she saw a yellow and pink Pegasus. Fluttershy! Derpy observed. She then saw Twilight trotting over to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to check their temperatures again. Twilight sighed as she read the temperatures. Derpy was curious to what the numbers were.
"Twilight? What did they read?" Derpy asked Twilght.
"*sigh* Rainbow Dash has hypothermia, and so does Fluttershy. Fluttershy especially. She is very pale, she is very tired, quick breaths and careless! Those are the core signs of hyperthermia. Rainbow Dash on the other hoof, she is okay. When she is waking, she slurs her speech, and she is very cold as well. What you and Amethyst need to do, is to take off your jackets, and other extra snow clothes, and pretty much lay down next to them as they are cold. This will hopefully help with body temperature. So, could you do that?"
Twilight looked at Derpy with plead. Derpy smiled and nodded. She then stripped off her clothing and got next to Rainbow Dash, her filly-hood hero. Twilight put a blanket over them, and Derpy closed her eyes, though not able to sleep, since she just woke up.
"Ugh... Where, am I?" Discord questioned himself as he saw brown. He turned his head, and looked around. He was near a tree, and snow. Of course it was snow. He sat up from laying down, and realized he used to be in a snowball from the fall off the hill. Why couldn't he have just walked down? Discord thought. He didn't really care. He didn't care about anything. Heck, he didn't even care if he died. Meh, he should just go somewhere, and just sleep. He was so fatigued and careless. lacking energy and optimism. Discord fell face first into the snow and just lay there. Not wanting to move at all. He didn't notice the lack of wind, due to the tree guarding him, neither the hoofsteps gradually growing louder. Amethyst was above him, shocked to say the least. She had not expected to come face first with the crazy dragon chimera! She also had not expected the draconequus to be... sleeping. Oh, how was she supposed to bring him back to camp? Well, she just had to try the best she could, but she shouldn't jerk him around, in fear of him getting a cardiac arrest. She then tapped her necklace and waited for more recruits.
Hmm... This is a great place for camp! There is less wind here, there is trees, and there isn't much snow on the ground! Oh, Vinyl is here again. We should get going. Amethyst thought as she looked around and saw Vinyl Scratch. She saw Vinyl's confused expression as she looked at Discord.
"Come on, we gota carry him back." Amethyst magically lifted him up, but almost dropped him as he spoke.
"Flutturshee? Flutturshee? I'm issin' yer!" Discord slurred. He was clearly having the symptoms of hypothermia, he is slurring and is shivering like crazy! He is caring about Fluttershy though, Amethyst hopes he cares about other things besides Fluttershy. "Weh nev'r sed gebye!"
We never said good bye?! What did Fluttershy have to do with Discord? She may get some answers, since they were already at the medical tent. So, they carefully lowered Discord to the blanketed ground and Amethyst went in with him.
"Twilight? Discord said some interesting things while we were carrying him." Amethyst ignored the startled and surprised expression Twilight was wearing. Twilight shook it off, and then asked what he said.
"Well, he said this in a slurred voice, 'Flutturshee? Flutturshee? I'm issin' yer!' and also, 'Weh nev'r sed gebye!' Isnt that weird? Fluttershy and Discord must be connected somehow. Now of course, I am not good friends with Fluttershy, but you are, so you may understand this." Amethyst said.
"Well, i'll think about what he said, and oh! You have to lay with Fluttershy, she is very cold and is in need of warm body heat. So take off your snow clothes, and also shake off the snow out there." Twilight pointed towards the outside.
"Oh, okay Twilight." So Amethyst stripped down and snuggled with Fluttershy. She listened to her pulse as she lay sleeping. She then mumbled something, but very quiet so Twilight didn't hear.
"D-Discord..."
