"Well, Ms. Lessa your wound seems to be healing perfectly, and there weren't any complications from the surgery," Nurse Redheart told me as she wheeled me out of the hospital, "and your bill was covered by the crown as this was a royal job you were on," she continued, "Now I personally would like to see you stay in town for a few days just to be absolutely sure you don't have any delayed reactions to your medication if anything seems out of the ordinary come back immediately, okay?" she asked as I stood up.
"No problem Nurse Redheart," I told her standing up and smoothing out my shirt, "I'll be sure to notify the doctors if there's a delayed problem, and I shouldn't be alone," I said, "I think I'll stay with Twilight if she lets me," I informed her, lifting the duffle with my gear and heading down the road towards Ponyville proper. Turning down a few roads I rubbed my stomach, "Man I really need to stop waking up in hospitals," I sighed out walking up to the library, "If I find her anywhere, it'll be here," I muttered walking in.
"Welcome to the Ponyville library," Twilight said behind the reference desk, "Oh Sasha, I visited when you first got in, but you were in surgery, then you were sleeping and I got caught up with organizing and ordering new books for the library," she told me.
"By the force, you're working at the library," I said whistling looking around and placing my bag on the floor before noticing the stairs leading up, "and living in one, I mean not too surprising you did in Canterlot," I chuckled, "Hey I know we weren't the best of friends in school or after school. But I was wondering if I could stay with you for a few days and use Spike to send a letter to my mom?" I shyly asked.
Twilight, rolled her eyes, "I wasn't good friends with a lot of ponies in Canterlot," she told me, "But you weren't much of a talker either, except to Fleur and Blueblood," she said sighing, "So both of our faults, I don't mind you staying over for a bit," I picked my bag back up when she agreed to let me stay.
"Mind showing me where I can put my stuff up?" I asked her, and she nodded and led me upstairs a small guest bedroom gave me a place to stow my gear and Twilight was even nice enough to give me a key to lock the door with.
"And I'll call Spike over when he gets back from quills and sofas," she told me I gave her a two-finger salute and sat down and wrote a quick letter explaining what happened to my mom. Heading downstairs after rolling my parchment I grabbed a book called 'the spit shiner's guide to armor care' mom liked it and would reference it when cleaning her armor.
"Hey, Sasha, did you go to Moon Dancer's party?" Twilight asked walking over and taking a seat across from me.
"No, I think I was being held for murder in Prance at the time or being held by the E.I.A," she opened her mouth to say something, but I put my hand up, "It was a whole thing, I was proven innocent in the end, I try not to think about it," she gave me a nod, "Moon Dancer was more of your friend anyways, I didn't talk to her, outside of getting some notes when I was busy with work," I told her adjusting my sheath as I shifted into a more relaxed reading position, "So how was the party?" I asked her
"Well, I didn't go either, you know me my head stuck in a book," she told me looking off to the side, "and then Princess Celestia sent me down here to overlook the preparations for the summer sun celebration," she continued, "and I sort of made some friends who helped me defeat Nightmare Moon," she very shyly said.
"I think you split Nightmare Moon from Luna, pretty sure I finished her though," I told her as she took a step back, "I fought her in the Everfree, put a saber right through her," I said, "That's why I was in the hospital, it got weird in those woods," I told her shivering slightly.
"Must have been really weird, if you're shivering," Twilight said chuckling, "I read about you chasing a stallion that attacked Fleur, from what I heard during the interviews, you didn't even flinch just chased him down, kept him casting spells creating a trail of chaos for metro to follow," the excitement in her voice scared me just a little, "I mean you ran through alleys, you're fearless," she told me.
"I was fearless, still in that Jedi mindset of protecting others and keeping the peace," I chuckled, "I have a lot to lose now though and after the arrests and other events that recently happened, I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to rest, go home have a good dinner with my mom and Fleur," I told her with a shaky exhale, "and honestly I'm scared, that fight with Nightmare Moon, the Mandolorian, and Darth Malek, scared me, I didn't think I'd get to go home," I could feel the tears falling down my cheeks, "Twilight, waking up in that hospital bed was the greatest feeling in the world, but it felt so cold."
