The next day, Whitespot is lying on a bed with bandages on her. She even has a tensor bandage around her torso, covering her both wings. She wakes up exhaustedly. She’s in the  hospital. Then a pony doctor enters Whitespot’s room. He is relieved. 

“Oh, thank heavens! Are you alright, kid?”

“I think so. Somehow, I feel something strange and-”

A pony doctor says, “Some pony managed to save you and brought you here.”

Whitespot puzzles and feels something weird; she looks at her torso, “What’s happening to me?”

The doctor seems so silent. 

“Please, tell me.” Whitespot looks worried.





Later that day, Whitespot is sent to an operating room. Then two-hinged doors open widely. Two doctors walk down the corridor. One is pushing a wheelchair where Whitespot is sitting on it, looking sad. The other is walking next to Whitespot. As doctors are talking to each other, Whitespot looks worse than before. She moves her torso around. Her wings have been amputated due to the damage and weak injuries. She can no longer fly anymore.

In a waiting room, Whitespot is sitting in a chair where doctors are trying to figure out what to do with her. Before she leaves the hospital, Whitespot catches something right before her eyes. She notices some doctors enter a private office. Whitespot checks it out. She overhears the conversations of both Whitespot’s injuries and her mother’s injuries. One of the doctors says that Whitespot’s mother doesn’t make it, because the storm wiped out almost the entire Cloudsdale. 

Whitespot is shocked and horrified. Then she sees a young filly sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by a doctor. Then she sees that more ponies are in the hospital. Whitespot starts to investigate without being seen. Whitespot looks curious when she sees some of the ponies are growing weak.

Then she spots a pony pushing a trolley quickly, where another hurting pony is lying on the bed, and the trolley enters an emergency unit room. (Combination of recovery room & homeless shelter)

Whitespot immediately starts to investigate and enters the room. She hesitates a bit and sees something that she couldn’t believe her shocking eyes. She walks forward as she sees hundreds of groaning, sad ponies and fillies. They are lying on the floor where doctors are helping them. All the ponies are suffering and injured due to the powerful, violent storm.

Whitespot looks horrified. Then her heart starts to pump faster. She starts to feel trauma, lose confidence, and whimper. She immediately realizes the truth that most ponies suffer from injuries. She concludes her mother is gone too, like the rest. She runs away. She passes all those ponies in the hospital.

Whitespot runs through Ponyville as she is still crying. She accidentally bumped into Scootaloo. Whistespot looks at her and runs away again, yet Scootaloo looks worried and knows something is wrong with Whitespot.





At the park, Whitespot is sobbing, facing down on a bench, under a tree. Thistle finds her; she looks so sorry for her. Thistle goes to her, and Whitespot tells her about everything, especially her mother’s death.

“She is gone. Mom’s gone. I don’t know what I am going to do now. I lost all hope. I have nothing to go on for. I’m no pony.” 

Thistle tries to convince Whitespot about her loss of wings and loss of a mother. “Whitespot, it’s hard to say this, but there’s still hope. Life can never be the end; it’s only the beginning. There are other ways to build a life for yourself. Something that you will achieve better, ” said Thistle.

“Like what? Like you?!”

Thistle is startled when Whitespot snaps back at her. Still, Whitespot is upset and doesn't have courage or strength. So Thistle gives her some time and tells her that miracles will come. And miracles will give Whitespot a new path. She leaves her alone.

Whitespot looks quiet; at the same time, she’s both mad and sad.
