//------------------------------// // Hospital Visit // Story: My Little Pony Destroyers are Magic. // by CommonDash //------------------------------// Taylor wakes up in a white room on a bed. The room just screams sanitized. The bed may not be soft however the pillow feels like a cloud. “Where am I?” Taylor asks not getting up. “Taylor you fell asleep again.” Twilight says “I don’t understand why… it’s a bit weird.” Taylor admits “Hey!” ‘What! What do you mean my battery bank isn’t set up properly! I’ve been running out of energy because I’ve literally been running empty!’ Taylor shouts at her crew “Hey!” ‘I don’t care if this is what a shakedown cruise is for! fix it! ’ Taylor tells her crew in panic. “Oh she’s awake? Hello, I’m Nurse Redheart. It’s nice to meet you.” Redheart says “So what’s the plan?” Taylor asks “Well one of the unicorns tried to cast a diagnostic spell on you and got back gibberish. So if you don’t mind I’m just gonna listen for your…” Nurse Redheart goes silent as she puts the stethoscope to Taylor’s chest. “Y-you don’t have a heart beat?” Nurse Redheart says worriedly. ‘I mean the nuclear reactor is pretty quiet.’ Taylor thinks “O-okay? I mean I don’t think I feel dead? So maybe it’s something else?” Taylor asks “Y-yeah, it must be.” Twilight says “Definitely well, I’ve never seen a case like this. How about you take a deep breath.” Nurse Redheart asks Taylor obliges and inhales and exhales when prompted to. “You’ve got a good pair of lungs… they are holding a deceptively large amount of air…” Nurse Redheart says even more confused. “I’m gonna test your reflexes next.” Redheart says The mallet hits Taylor’s knee. There is a dull ringing thud. “I didn’t feel anything.” Taylor says looking at her own leg in confusion. “Okay, we’ve got a few MRI machines. Do you have anything metal we need to be worried about?” Nurse Redheart asks “Haha, funny you should say that, my coat is actually steel titanium it could probably bounce swords.” Taylor admits with a grin. “…” “…” “…” “You aren’t joking are you?” Twilight asks “You could probably stick a magnet to me.” Taylor deadpans “So no MRI… who knows what an X-ray would get.” Redheart says shocked “Probably nothing…” Taylor says considering her nuclear reactor and the hand full of nuclear weapons she had on her. The leaking is nothing more than background radiation however the materials themselves will mess with the machine. “… why do I hear singing in the distance?” Taylor asks looking out the window. “It’s probably a harmony song, with pinkie it happens fairly often.” Twilight admits ‘What if we were to play music over our intercom system?’ Taylor asks he’d crew. “Hey!” ‘What do you mean the transformation ate my phone and all my songs… wait? I can play any song on my phone over my intercom? That’s gonna be so much fun later.’ Taylor tells her crew with a smile. “Well, you I don’t know how to diagnose this.” Redheart admits “Clean bill of health?” Taylor asks “I would recommend watching her. If her sleeping becomes more of an issue we can try to prescribe some stuff. However it would be mostly trial and error. I wanna recommend a sleep study however you probably wanna go home princess.” Nurse Redheart admits alittle uneasily. “We can always schedule that for later, till then me and spike shall keep an eye on her.” Twilight says “Did we mention that I could walk on water?” Taylor asks “Do you know of any family history with the extinct sea ponies?” Redheart asks a little shocked. “I don’t think so?” Taylor says “Well, I’m hoping to have you fill this out before you go.” Nurse Redheart says handing a clipboard to Taylor. “Filling out information on your medical history is usually done before the checkup however your constant falling asleep pushed the checkup forwards.” Redheart says “Ah, where can I put to crossbow bolts into the back of the head in here?” Taylor asks watching color drain from the two ponies face. “Are you okay?” Twilight whispers hugging Taylor. “Yeah? It’s just a little impromptu brain surgery. I think it was anyways. If Contessa wanted me dead I would be dead.” Taylor says matter of factly “Taylor? I can tell your hurting.” Twilight says “At least when I’m in pain… I know I’m alive. This place is just so fantasy like… I some times think I’m trapped in a dream. There’s probably a cape who could do that. I keep waking up expecting it all to be gone and replaced with my war torn home. Yet it’s still here.” Taylor says ‘Why am I talking so much? I need to study this magic stuff.’ Taylor thinks Nurse Redheart grabs twilight before dragging her out into the hallway. “I wonder what that was about?” Taylor says aloud. “Hey!” “Oh? The batteries are hooked up now several weeks at flank speed with no recharge that’s nice. What’s the next part? You find out the nuclear reactor isn’t actually turned on properly?” Taylor says jokingly. “…” “Your, serious? Check it!” Taylor says with some ferocity to her words. “Hey?” Taylor is about to shout when the door opens back up. Nurse Redheart walks in followed by a concerned looking Twilight. “So good news according to my diagnosis is I’ve got maybe another 2000 years.” Taylor says completely seriously trying and failing to do a joke. “Taylor, you ready to go home?” Twilight asks brushing the shipmare’s mane. “I guess? I mean where else would I go? Besides maybe out into the ocean…” Taylor says hopping off the bed. “Really and what’s your plan for being out there?” Twilight asks as the two walk out. “I was gonna raid pirate ships, easy slow moving targets.” Taylor says
