being unconscious sucks





Twilight looked on to the bedridden man, still with a peaceful smile emblazoned on his face.
"How is he doctor?" She asked as said doctor walked through the door.
"fractured ribs, a broken arm and a sprained ankle, nothing too serious other than the bucket load of lacerations" The doctor sighed.
Twilight looked over to the sleeping Alan. she looked at the time and sighed.
"wake up soon, Alan" she bent down and kissed him on the forehead before walking out.
As she walked out, Shining Armor pulled her into a hug.

"Twily, He's gonna be fine," he gave her a smile. Twilight was unsure.
"and besides, He wants to meet mom n dad" Her older brother chuckled.
she spun round and looked at Shining for a moment, seeing the sincere smile on his face.
He could see the blush on hers. "Oh... uh quick question Twi... he hasn't made an honest woman of you yet has he?"
she simply replied by going bright red in the face and punching him in the shoulder.
He simply got back up and laughed. "I'll take that as a yes"

As she walked away to the rest of her friends, she couldn't help but smile.
Pinkie Pie came walking up to her, her hair was unnaturally straight. "is... is he going to be okay?"
Twilight nodded. "Expected to make a full recovery by the sound of it" the librarian grinned with a slight squeak.




Inside the mind of an unconscious hero...




"great... Reruns.... i hate reruns.... fuck this, I'm waking up"





A nurse had run out of the hospital, as fast as her legs could carry her. 
between her panting she managed to squeeze out the phrase "He's waking up"
Celestia grinned as she teleported everyone to the room.
What everyone expected was a simple, slow regaining of consciousness...
What they got, made them jump out of their skin.

"Thats where we buried Jimmy Hoffa!" I said as I shot up into a sitting position. 
As I gazed at them for a moment, I saw looks of bewilderment and blatant fear, but then I started to laugh.
"Ha ha ha..ow, hurts to laugh" soon my laughter caused them to join in.
"so how long was I out this time?" I asked.
Fluttershy simply smiled. "Oh... about 5 hours"
I swung my legs round to dangle them off the side of the bed.

"Not bad, maybe a new personal best" I chuckled. 
they watched as I took a stretch, popping several vertebrae in my back. 
they saw the look of relief on my face. "much better" I sighed.

Twilight simply placed a hand on the back of my head and pulled me closer.
she had forgotten there were other people in the room.

Not that I complained.
