The first thing that Derpy saw when she woke up were the lights. She blinked and groaned, taking in her surroundings. The pegasus was currently lying in a hospital bed, with the sheets pulled up to her chin.
“Where am I?”
There was a shuffling of hooves, and Nurse Redheart trotted over to the bed. “Oh, you’re awake! Thank goodness,” the nurse said.
“What happened, nurse?” Derpy asked, rubbing her head.
“You had a nasty accident,” Nurse Redheart explained. “Pinkie Pie was bouncing off a trampoline and she managed to knock you right out of the sky. She sends her apologies, by the way, but I had to ask her to leave when she insisted on decorating your room.”
Derpy chuckled. “Oh, well that’s okay. I’m sure she didn’t mean it.” She winced as she sat up. “How bad is it?”
“Well, you had us scared when you came in first, muttering some nonsense about the Twilight Zone and Applejack’s parents, but everything seems fine now. You’re free to leave.”
Derpy smiled. “Thanks nurse!”
She swung her legs over her bed, checking her mail bag. Just one more delivery, then she could go home.
