Her ears twitched, hearing the sound of the wheels bumping rocks along the road. It seemed that she laid inside a carriage. She turned to her side...

... it appeared to be a bad idea. She grunted and bit her lip, wasting no time, she faced towards the roof once again. First thing she noticed was that the bed she is lying on was way more comfortable than the hay stack. Except it wasn't a bed. She saw that it was a mattress. Next thing she noticed was that her body didn't ache that much anymore.

"Xer tuta mehrhingr?" A soft voice.

"Echa." A gruff voice.

"Soosoo jun trintye, echa?" She practically heard the other mare raise an eyebrow at the stallion. She heard a sigh, and nothing else. He probably nodded. She thought. She felt the carriage come to a stop and became confused. It wasn't long though before she saw a petite unicorn enter the cramped room.

"Are you feeling better?" The mare asked, like a loving mother taking care of a sick child.

The bedridden mare stammered, "I, uh... I guess." she lifted a forehoof and rubbed her forehead.

"You aren't feeling hot?"

"No, not really. I feel fine." It wasn't a lie, although being bedridden stiffened her body, it didn't felt like she got sandwiched by sturdy walls anymore.

"Oh, that's well."

It had been silent for seconds, both mares thinking of a topic to converse. Eventually the injured mare finally remembered what she had just said before falling asleep. She perked up, "Oh! Uhh, about that introduction...?"

"Hmm? Oh, yes. Give me a few jits."

"... Jits?"

The unicorn mare raised an eyebrow, "Uhm, yes. Jits."

"Is that like... bits?"

"Uhm, hold on..." The unicorn grabbed a book from her saddle bag that the bandaged mare didn't even know was there. So she waited... a minute passed and the unicorn probably found what she was looking for.

"Seconds. I mean seconds." She seemed satisfied when she saw her patient nod her head. "Alright. My name is Wonder Writer. The stallion driving the wagon currently, and my childhood friend, is Krieg Cormac. Again, we apologize for almost attacking you back in the woods."

Wonder Writer raised her forehoof forward, waiting for a hoofshake. Her potential friend looked at her hoof for a moment and grasped it with her own, cyan hoof.

"I forgive you all already, though I have questions that I'll ask later. I'm the most awesomest pony of all, the one and only Rainbow Dash," She said, grinning wide and shaking Wonder's hoof. "Nice to meet ya."
