The filly was lying in the hospital. It's been 2 days sense Twilight's visit. The only ponies that came by were doctors and nurses. The filly was always nervous when they did. They always asked how she was feeling, but she never answered. 

Twilight came by with another pony today. “Okay, let me go in first and talk to her for a bit, then I’ll let you know when to come in.” Twilight knocked on the door. 

The filly got scared. 

Twilight slowly opened it and walked in closing the door gently. The filly calmed down a bit when she saw who it was. 

“Hi. Remember me?” Twilight asked. The filly shook her head up and down. “Okay, can I sit?” Twilight asked pointing at the chair next to the bed. 

The filly just looked at it back and forth between Twilight and the chair, but didn’t answer. Twilight slowly walked to the chair and sat down. The filly was sliding away from it the closer Twilight came, but didn’t hide under it. 

“How do you feel today?” Twilight asked. “Can you talk?” The filly was just looking at her. “Talk?” Twilight asked, moving her hoof from her mouth away. The filly started to copy Twilight’s movements. Twilight chuckled seeing that. 

Twilight brought out a paper with a quill and ink hoping that she would be able to write. “Can you write your name?” The filly was confused what Twilight wanted. She took the quill but tried to eat it. 

Twilight took the quill back, not wanting it to be damaged, but in doing so she caused the filly to pull away quivering in fear that Twilight might hurt her. Twilight leaned over to massage her back. "Shhh, don't worry. I didn't mean to scare you." The filly started to relax again. 

"I have a bit of good news." Twilight said still rubbing her back. "your getting out of the hospital today." Twilight said. "I also brought a friend. Would you like to meet her?" 

The filly didn't respond. 

Twilight opened the door with her magic to let her friend inside. The filly looked curling up with Twilight trying to keep her relaxed. Twilight's friend was a gold color unicorn with a purple mane. "Hi, I'm Sunshine Velvet." she said, introducing herself to the filly. 

"Sunshine Velvet is one of the caretakers for the Canterlot Orphanage." Twilight said. "She will be taking care of you there."
