//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: A Madman's Guide to Friendship // by TheArcher20 //------------------------------// Chapter 6;Green and funny It had been four days since Davey had been put in the hospital. He despised the staff almost immediatley after a nurse accidentally gave him a fork for his morning 'hospital goop,' causing him annoyance. Each of the days he was visited by one or two of the group that had visited previously, and ended up having a lengthy chat for most of the day, giving the madman a slightly easier time in the medical place he called 'purgatory.' Davey was scheduled to be released tomorrow, this brought a giant and very stupid grin to his face. His face went from a stupid grin to a very bothered frown as he realized no one had stopped by to by to talk with him in the appalling hell that was this hospital. Davey muttered to himself "*grumble* *grumble* stupid *grumble* not coming or something...". Just as the madman started to mumble inaudible and insociable curses, a knock came to the door, slowly followed by a nurse informing Davey he had a visitor. Davey was about to crack a smile when a green unicorn came in with a creepy, stalker-like look to his/her face. Davey couldn't tell the difference of the pony's genders yet so he had to wait for him/her to talk first before him. To his suprise, the pony didn't seem a whole lot interested in his entire self as much as his hands. She mumbled a hello as the nurse left with a barely noticable smirk to her face, obviously holding back a laugh. Davey and the yet to be named green mare sat or stood in silence for quite a while as the green unicorn seemed to be enthralled by his hands. The madman tested this theory as he lifted his right hand and waved it side to side, and up and down. He chuckled to himself when he noticed she followed every movement of the hand, and when he stopped she suddenly squeeled with a sort of giddiness which confused him greatly. Though he couldn't place it, he still had shivers down his spine. Davey decided a bit more testing was in order to find out just how far the fascination with his hands could go. The madman arose from his springy bed of morning sores and walked around the room waving and flexing his hands and fingers rapidly and slowly moving each. The green unicorn kept following them as if her life depended on those hands. These shenanigans lead to Davey testing how mesmerized she was by stretching both hands in opposite directions, his right hand going down towards his feet and the other stretching to his far left. The madman was on the floor laughing at how the unicorn went crosseyed, one eye following each hand. After a long while of laughing, he got up realizing the unicorn had an angry expression on her face. "What...what did I do?" He asked. "Quit teasing me already! I'm trying to be serious here!" "Right.." Davey said rolling his eyes in the process. "Lyra..." "Huh?" "My name is Lyra." The green unicorn huffed, still angry. The mad doctor awkwardly responded "Um....hi" the room went deafeningly silent for several moments. Lyra's request fell on deaf ears as Davey decided to further test her oddness and wiggled his fingers and moved his hands around willy nilly. This caused the unicorn to start spinning around in circles in confusion. Right before Lyra had had enough The door opened again and Twilight could be heard trotting in. Everything seemed to freeze as Twilight stood there, slack jawed at witnessing Lyra suddenly drop to the floor faster then you can say 'oops'. "What happened?!?" Twilight yelled frantically. "Why are you looking at me?! It's not my fault she passed out!" Davey said frantically lying through his teeth. Twilight responded skeptically "riiiight.." The purple mare called for a nurse to come get her. After the nurse had left dragging an unconscious Lyra on her back Twilight asked "So you met Lyra, it looks like." "So it seems." the madman said, a shudder involuntarily making its way up his spine. "Come on, she isn't all that bad. Well... okay. So she is all that bad, but it's YOUR fault for teasing her!" Both stood in silence as they didn't know what to say next to one another. Unbeknownst to them Lyra had woken up and returned to the room while they stared each other down wondering what to say next. "What'd I miss?" Lyra asked curiously. "AAHHHH!" both Twilight and Davey had screamed and jumped what must have been five whole feet in the air before calming down. "I didn't know a unicorn could do that!" Lyra laughed. "Do what?" asked the purple mare as she attempted to catch her breath. "Fly that high!" said the aqua mare before busting up laughing. Twilight gave Lyra a death stare that would make a professional killer squeal with glee. It seemed as though the world cracked in half at what had happened next, it was so fast no one had time to react. In one swift motion, a pink hue enveloped the room and shrank down into a overly hyper Pinkie Pie whom bounced rapidly up and down at the news she heard. "GuessWhatGuessWhatGuessWhatGUESSWHAT!" Hollered the pink party pony, whom refused to cease her bouncing of the gluttonous maximus. "WHAT!?" The group of two ponies and the mad doctor yelled in unison. "Davey Wavey gets released from the hospital tomorrow!" She paused, freezing in mid bounce. " 'gasp!' That leaves me a WHOLE DAY to plan for your party!" Before anyone could question the pink impossibility, she had already disappeared, 'supposedly' already in the works of her party.
