//------------------------------// // The hospital // Story: An accident // by Charli13 //------------------------------// In the Ambulance Cadence sat trying to calm a panicking Sunset. She and Light had put her into the ambulance and pulled out of the track sirens blaring, but as soon as Sunset realised she was alone in the ambulance she began to freak out. She was remembering the time she spent alone. She tried to lift her arms but even the soft straps made her feel confined. The the straps pinning her to the stretcher made her panic for some reason, she couldn't remember being tied to the poll that the Preppers found her tied to but she never was a fan of being held down and the straps made her panic even more. "Sunset I need you to calm down okay, I need you to stop moving before you hurt yourself more, Sunset calm down." Cadence said in a calm voice. Sunsets eyes darted back and forth and she had gone deaf to the world, only hearing her own breathing. She seen those lights the first day she got here. She was in the same position, she had broken her arm after getting hit by a small car. In her defence she hadn't understood the world at the time, It had been terrifying in that room alone but that was the first time she had meet Celestia. She had taken her in for a little while and then had managed to get her a small apartment to herself. Due to the fact that Celestia fostered and Sunset couldn't study and wanted to be more independent. Sunset was back with her for a little when she was in a wheelchair, just long enough to make her place wheelchair accessible. "Light I need you to pull over or something so I can help her." Cadence called from the back. Light pulled over and turned of the lights while Cadence trying to undo the straps on the stretcher. She was also the same paramedic who had come to help sunset was in that abandoned building. She had been in real rough shape that night. After undoing the straps Sunset seem to calm slightly. Light got in the back "Whats wrong with her?" he asked. " She's having a panic attack I thought it was the straps but she barley calmed down when I removed them." Cadence stated in a confused voice. Light turned around for a minute thinking before a light went of in his head whipping around "When did she start having it?" He asked eyes wide "As soon as we started the drive." She said "She was fine with her friends though right?" He said, Cadence nods "I think she thinks her friends abandoned her, or something maybe?" he said. Only then did it click in her head that was most likely the reason, she had gotten the whole story the day she get home after she had brought Sunset in. Leaning over Sunset Cadence said "Sunset blink twice if you can hear me." waiting for a minute Sunset did nothing then suddenly blinked twice her breathing still too fast to talk. "Good your friends are going to meet use at the hospital you can see them then. But I need you to to calm down now, okay?" Something clicked in Sunset head and she began to calm down following a breathing trick Fluttershy had taught her. The paramedics watched as Sunset slowly calmed down. "Sunset I need to put the straps back on so you don't move around okay." Cadence said "Yeah ,okay." sunset said in a raspy voice. "Are you okay now?" Cadence asked with concern. "No, not really." Sunset said quietly. As the straps came around her again Sunset made a face like she was in pain. The sirens started to blare and the lights came back on as the engine roared to life and they pulled of from the side of the road. --------- At the hospitals the girls and Principle Celestia sat in the small waiting room, waiting anxiously, well all except Rainbow dash who paced the floor quickly while chewing on her nails. "Why don't you just sit down before you burn a hole in the ground?" Applejack said while watching Dash with an amused expression only for Rainbow to look at her with a glare. The girls heard two door opening and footsteps approaching "Anyone here for miss Shimmer?" The girls all looked up at the doctor nodding "Miss Shimmer is in room 217 but only 2 people can go in at once right now just so we don't overwhelm her she just got out of her operation, and has only just woke up." All nodded, silently agreeing that Celestia and Rainbow Dash should be first to go in then the rest can go later. "Darling why don't you go first, okay? Then we can go after." Rarity said while placing a warm hand on Rainbows shoulder. The doctor nods and says "One of you can head in at a time so its not seven people at once but over time." After listening to the doctor Rainbow took off down the hall to Sunsets room. Multiple doctors telling her to slow down, it was not use nothing was gonna slow her down at this point. She seen the door and dashed through to see a confused and alert Sunset who's expression then turned to a amused one "Careful Dash or they'll have to put up speed limit signs." she joked as Rainbow turned red. She looked terrible "What's the damage Sunset?" Rainbow asked with a worried tone. "Um, I broke my hip and have them in a double cast up to here." pointing to just below her breasts. "So that sucks one goes all the way down my leg cause its broken and the other goes to the knee then I have a short one for my broken ankle, I pulled a muscle in my back and broke 3 ribs which for some reason I couldn't really feel for a little I guess with the rest of the pain it got over powered then I bruised my shoulder and broke my wrist." Sunset said while pointing to each injury. At some point during the conversation Celestia had walked in watching as Rainbow seemed to get angrier and angrier. "How long do you think you'll be here for?" Celestia asked "Don't know I wasn't told, but can I come back with you for a little since I won't be able to do much for a while?" Sunset asked "Of course I was expecting it honestly i would most likely would have forced you to come back home with me." Celestia said in a calm voice. As the night passed the girls all came in talking to Sunset soon the visiting hours came to an end and the girls left leaving Sunset to get some much needed rest.
