I have no way of knowing how long I was laying on that cold stone floor with my head in my hands. I had finally stopped sobbing but the tears themselves didn't stop.
I was all alone. I had no idea where I was except that it wasn't on Earth. I did have my jeep, but I had no idea what the rulers of this land were going to say about it, if I knew governments, I wouldn't have it long. Especially if they didn't have such technology.
I had put my last ray of hope into saving the life of a filly that now lay motionless on the other side of the entry as Twilight and Spike-who I hadn't even properly met-cried over her.
I was lost and alone and now a failure.
I just laid there, crying into my hands. Could have been hours, could have been days.
Just when I was ready to look up and try talking to these creatures, I heard another set of sobs.
It started out weak but quickly turned into a scream. Apple Bloom was alive!
I looked up and had mixed feelings about what I saw. She was alive but she was flailing around, writhing in pain.
"We have to help her," I said without thinking. I was already moving to hold her down before she hurt herself further when a beam of purple light did that job for me.
I looked over at Twilight to see her horn glowing.
"I really wish we could," Twilight was speaking through tears, "She just had her skeleton twisted out of, then back into shape. She’s in a lot of pain, but only one herb will help with this pain, and Spike used it all last guys night."
"I said I was sorry," Spike sobbed.
"And I said it was ok," Twilight pointed out, "I was just stating the fact."
"What herb do we need?" I asked, "There must be someplace we can get it."
"The shops are closed," Twilight said, "Maybe if I can get a hold of Pipe..."
Just then she was cut off by another purple unicorn entering the room.
"What's the commotion?" asked the new arrival before she saw Applebloom, "Is that? Did she!"
"I'm afraid so, Starlight," Twilight answered.
"And when we're fresh out of weed," Starlight was starting to shed a tear herself.
It took a moment for that to click. They needed an herb because Spike used it on guys night, I should have had it then, but no. I didn't get it until I heard them say it outright. I kept the cure in my center console.
"Wait," I said, "She needs marijuana? Why didn't you say so? I have a bag in my jeep."
"You do!?!!!" said the whole room.
"Wait, what’s a jeep?" Starlight asked.
"I'm guessing its the vehicle he took here," Chimed in spike, "Its like the cars our friends at Canterlot High drive."
"Wait, wait, wait," Starlight's eyes went wide. "You have a car? Here?"
"As much as I can’t wait to learn more about our new visitor, I think the herbs he brought are a little more important than how he got here at the moment," Twilight was still talking through tears, "This much pain can kill a pony,"
"We better hurry then," Starlight's eyes went even wider.
"Indeed," agreed Twilight, "in fact, why don't you take her out to the jeep. If its as enclosed as the cars at Canterlot High, Then filling it with smoke will be the best bet. Spike and I need to send a few letters out. We better get in touch with the Apples, and I want to have Zecora look over the spell site. Do you think you could find the spot where you found her again?"
"Well," I said, "There's half a truck sitting nearby, shouldn't be hard."
Twilight deadpanned. "Know what, I'm just going to call on Sawdust as well." She said, I tried to chime in but she cut me off, "You better get her out there before the pain is too much. I’ll have a few questions when you're done, but I think its pretty clear what to do from here."
Next thing I knew I was being pushed out the door by Starlight as she carried Applebloom in her magic.
