Pinkie Pie yawned as she woke up smiling next to her lover. Fluttershy woke soon and began to cough weakly. A face of worry nearly instantly painted the pink pony's face.
"Flutters, what's wrong?" Pinkie looked closer at her partner, she was very pale and shivering.
The sick pegasus spook in a very weak voice. "P-pinkie, I think I have a fever.."
The usually mellow earth pony put a hoof on her head, she was burning up. Pinkie was very concerned, she had to do something, but she wasn't exactly much of a doctor. The party pony jumped into the wardrobe and jumped out wearing a nurses outfit. The pegasus chuckled softly.
"Don't worry Fluttershy, you'll be better faster than you can say cherry chimichanga!" "Um, cherry chimi what?" "Exactly!"
The party pony kissed her marefriend on the cheek and rushed downstairs in her silly getup. She met up with Gummy and Angel who were playing chess. Somehow the toothless alligator was winning. The white rabbit didn't look too happy and threw the board to the floor.
"Gummy? Angel? Flutters is running a fever and I have to get stuff to make her better. Please take care of her while I'm gone." The pink dressed pony asked.
She was shaking and notably worry about her partner. And with a salute from Angel and a nod from Gummy they went up the stairs to help the yellow pegasus.
The 'doctor' dashed out the door galloping to Ponyville. The town as usual was filled with life. Right now though she needed the help of the only pony she thought might have an idea what to do, Twilight. When she was at the treehouse she knocked at the door still shaking with worry. Spike answered the door.
"Oh hey Pinkie, are you alright?" The dragon asked with slight concern, he didn't bother questioning her getup, there was just no point.
"No, no, NO! Oh Celestia, Fluttershy is sick! And and I don't know what to do! Is Twilight here?!"
“Whoa, yeah shes here, come in.” She came in and saw the lavender pony was reading a book and doing science things with chemicals that the party pony didn't quite understand. “Twilight!” The unicorn jumped at the sound dropping her book and chemical compounds causing an explosion of green and orange. Her mane changed into an afro causing Spike and Pinkie to roll on the floor in laughter.
“What do you want, Pinkie?” she said slightly frustrated. “Oh hiya Twilight! Didn't you hear me come through the door?” She giggled. “Well no, I was expecting the unexpected and it looks like it caused me not to expect the expected.” Twilight sighed. “So what brings you here and why are you wearing that?” Pinkie face of worry quickly returned. “Twilight, I think Fluttershy has a fever!” “What? How can you tell, what did you two do yesterday?”
Pinkie took a deep breath. “Well..Me and Flutter's went to the Cake's, but only Mr. Cake was there and we wanted advice because it was out two month anniversary and he said we should go on a date sooooooo we went to Rarity's and she made her a dress and me a suit and said It was cuz I was an Alpha something and I was like cool beans and then we went to the restaurant and some guy served us who was Estallion and he gave us food that we ordered and Fluttershy and me ate then he gave us wine and she never had any before, but I told her it was ok so she drank some and then she got tipsy and fell so I carried her home and laid her to bed. This morning she was sick with a fever so I got on my nurses outfit and told Gummy and Angel to watch her while I was gone. Then I dash here as fast as I could. Then I came in and you dropped your chemicals and now you have an afro. And here we are..”
The faithful student raised an eyebrow after hearing the part she was there for. She also levitated a comb to fix her mane. “Spike, go take care of Fluttershy.”
Spike saluted playfully and left to check on her. The studious pony levitated a book of the shelf titled “The Medical Dictionary for Ponies”. She turned the pages with her magic until she discovered something.
“I found it!” She then levitated the open book to Pinkie's face.
“Hay Fever! But how did she get it?” “The alcohol must have weaken her immune system and she could have easily caused it to developed from something she was allergic to.” Pinkie thought about telling her it was ok to drink and blame herself for what happened to her marefriend.
“S-so this is my fault?” The pink pony began to tear up slightly.
Her mane went flat as the crying grew worse. Twilight was caught off guard a bit. “Pinkie, its not your fault. You had no way of knowing this would happen. Calm down, we need to focus on making her better.”
Twilight said slowly embracing the crying pony. She sniffled still leaking tears. “Y-your right Twilight, I need to help Fluttershy in anyway I can..” The lavender unicorn hated to see her friend like this nudging her a bit and smiling.
“Come on everypony smile! Smile! Smile!” Pinkie giggled her mane still deflated, but she had a soft smile on her face. “Aww, thanks Twilight. I needed that.” She let the pink pony out of her embrace and smiled again.
“What are friends for?” The intelligent unicorn thought for a moment. “Pinkie, I think we need to go to see Zecora, she'll know what to do.”
“Thanks Twilight! Can we check on Fluttershy first? I'm really worried.” The earth pony asked.
“Of course! I'm worried about her too.” Twilight agreed.
The two raced off to Fluttershy's house. They raced up stairs noticing she was surrounded by Spike and the pets. She looked worse, her eyes were red as well as her face and her nose was runny. She had an ice pack on her head. This looked worse then Twilight had first expected. It looked like a Fever and Hay Fever. Both of the ponies looked at their friend with dread as they approached her.
“Fluttershy, oh Celestia, Fluttershy what happened?” Pinkie said sniffling trying to prevent tears from falling.
“P-pinkie, Ill be fine. Your special somepony is just a little sick..I got my number one caretaker on the case, right?” She responds softly with a weak smile.
Pinkie returned the smile crying softly. “I-I promise I won't let you down, Fluttershy. Me and Twilight just wanted to cheek up on you. We need to go to Zecora's hut, she has to know how to cure this..”
Twilight looks at her friend and fluffs her pillow with magic. “Don't worry Fluttershy, we will be back and you'll be better in no time.”
“Oh thank you both..try not to worry..Ill be fine.” The sick pegasus coughed.
“Dont worry Twilight, we'll take care of her.” the purple dragon smiled.
“I love you, Flutters.” The sad pink pony said.
“I love you too.” She responded.
The two ponies left and trotted into the Everfree Forest. It was a lot darker than they first thought, usually it had a bit more light but it seemed the trees were blocking Celestia's sun. Twilight used her horn to light the way. The expression on her friends face was now that of determination. She was not going to fail her lover. They could hear loud roar in the distance.
“What was that?” Twilight looked around, but noticed nothing.
“I'm not sure, it didn’t sound like it wanted to party..” The party pony responded.
Just as Pinkie finished a large three headed beast smashed through trees and faced the two ponies. The monster had the head of a lion, black demonic goat, and a red dragon with a serpents tail. It had the forelegs of a lion and the back legs of a goat. The Twilight took a step back, but Pinkie bounced ignorantly towards it.
“That's a Chimera?! What are we going to do to that?” Twilight panicked.
“Wow, three head! That's like three times the fun! I have never seen you before so I'm going to throw you a party!” She smiled bouncing around happily as her mane puffed up.
The Chimera scorched the land with its fiery breath but the pink pony quickly bounced away. She jumped on top of the lion head and managed to put a party hat on each one of them who while she was doing this tried to bite her, but failed miserably. “Wow you guys sure are chompy! Lets get you something to eat!” She made it back in front of the beast and fired pie from her party cannon at each of the faces. All it really did though was piss the monster off more.
“Pinkie! What the hay are you doing?! Your just making it mad!” The pony named after a bad book series said.
Pinkie snorted as she laughed. “It's ok Twilight, I think they like the joke! Now for the grand finally!”
All three heads of the Chimera roared in unison at the pink pony as she yet again fired her party cannon shooting out loads of streamers and confetti. The beast then inhaled to shoot fire but, it caught the confetti in its mouth and began to choke violently. It collapsed before losing consciousness. Twilight just stood with her mouth wide open in awe. The Chimera slayer hopped back to her friend.
“What a tiredy pants, it's ok though cuz we got a job to do.” Pinkie said slightly disappointed.
Twilight didn't bother saying a word, she just nodded her head and went along with what just happened. No point in questioning the Laws of Random. The duo made it to Zecora's hut unharmed. They knocked and she opened the door. “Oh hello Pinkie with mane of pink, Twilight to who will always think.”
“Hi, Zecora! We got a real problem, Fluttershy has Hay Fever and we need your help!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“Not just that she has a high fever too. Please tell us you have something for it.” the worried unicorn asked.
The zebra thought for a moment. “A cure for you I can make, so please sit down and take a break.”
Going through the forest took a lot out of them, but Pinkie paced back and fourth not able to sit still as long as Fluttershy remain sick. Zecora began to brew her remedy. The faithful student watched her friend.
“Come on Pinkie, you calm down and have a seat. I’m worried about her too, but Zecora will make her all better, ok?” the lavender unicorn smiled.
Pinkie sighed. “I know Twilight, I just can't help be worried about her. She's all sick and I can't be with her right now.
“I know, but that's why we need to be calm. We need to do it for Fluttershy or she could get sicker because your worrying so much.” The studious pony explained.
“Ok Twilight, I'll try and thanks.” Pinkie smiled.
“Anytime.” The unicorn sighed with relief.
After a few more minutes the remedy was finally finished. Zecora poured it into a glass vial and handed it to Pinkie.
“And there you go, after the night the results will show.” The striped friend explained.
The two said thank you and went off to Fluttershy's cottage. Nothing bothered them this time as they dashed through the dark forest. It was getting dark outside. They reached the cottage barging in and racing up the stairs reaching the bedroom. Everyone was still there keeping a close eye on her. Fluttershy turned to see her lover and friend next to her.
“Oh, Pinkie your back..I missed you.” The pale yellow pegasus said.
“Of course I a-” Pinkie said dropping the remedy, but Twilight levitated it before it hit the ground. “Sorry about that, but of course I'm here silly filly. We got the medicine now so don’t worry and drink it.”
Twilight gives Fluttershy the remedy and she drinks it obediently. She stretches her arms forward and Pinkie gives her a hug. Twilight smiles and tears up a bit.
“Come on, Spike. Pinkie can take care of this from here.” The unicorn said.
“Thank you so much Twilight and you too Spike! It means so much to me!” Pinkie jumped with joy.
“Umm..Me too.” Fluttershy smiled shyly.
“Um, get well soon. Later!” Spike said as he closed the door.
The student and her assistant left. Pinkie hopped in bed with her lover and cuddled next to her in the blanket. Gummy and Angel got on the bed as well and laid at the end.
“Now you miss sicky pants have to get some sleep.” Pinkie kissed her on the cheek.
“O-ok, I shouldn't question my nurse.” She smiled carrying a blush as she returned a kiss then dozed off to sleep.
Pinkie yawned from the tiring day dozing off her mind filled with less worry in to a sweet and well deserved rest.
