//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Everypony loves Twilight // by LankyLuna //------------------------------// After a scary journey through Everfree Forest, the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders' finally arrived to Zecora's house. After knocking on the door loudly, Zecora opened the door. "Zecora! I missed you!" Said Apple Bloom "And I, you. Our time together has been long overdue." Zecora replied. "Can we ask you something?" Asked Apple Bloom innocently. "Yes my dear. What would you like me to hear?" "We want a love potion. Don't ask why." Scootaloo bluntly interrupted. "Scootaloo, that was mean!" Apple Bloom scolded. "It's a really really really really big emergency. Please get us it quick. Or somepony may...die!" Sweetie Belle said dramatically. Zecora gave them a warning look, then disappeared behind a wall, coming back moments later with a familiar love potion. "Don't you fret. I have what you came to get." Zecora said, handing it to Apple Bloom worriedly. "Yes! Thank you. That's just what we need. Bye" "By my dear fillys-" The girls closed the door, and galloped to ponyville. "Wait, I need to finish my rhyme! you didn't give me enough time!" Zecora shouted to the girls. When Applejack got to the hospital, she wasn't surprised to find all of her friends, and even some members of the Rainbow Dash fan club there. "Howdy, Twilight." Applejack said, whilst sadly glancing at the injured pegasus, sleeping on the hospital bed. "What happened?" Applejack asked. "Rainbow had a big accident while showing me a routine that she made. I hope she's alright." "Me too, Sugarcube. Me too." Applejack said, nervously putting a hoof around Twilight's neck. "Thanks for coming Applejack." Twilight said, pulling her friend into a hug. Applejack blushed. "No problem, sugarcube. Anything for you- I mean Rainbow." "Umm, Twilight? She's waking up." Fluttershy said. "She's waking up!" Yelled one of the fanponies. At the announcement everypony in the room ran to her side. "Uh...Twilight? Where am I?" Rainbow asked, her eyes closed, and not yet adjusted to the light. "You're at the hospital. Are you feeling alright?" Twilight said, rushing up to her friend, and holding her hoof, while Fluttershy and Rarity looked at Rainbow enviously. Rainbow smiled at the feeling of her crush's hoof. "Yeah, you know me. Nothing can knock me down." Rainbow chuckled, but stopped quickly, because of the pain in her throat. "Dashie! Are you alright? What happened? I was so worried when I heard that you got hurt." Pinkie said, squishing beside Twilight and some fanfilly. "Hey, Pinkie. Yeah I'm alright. And about what happened, um, maybe you should ask Twilight. I can't really remember it too well." Rainbow said, swallowing painfully. Twilight quickly explained to Pinkie what happened. "Mhm, mhm. Oh my! Oh, Dashie. Get well soon. I brought you some things." Pinkie worriedly said. "You too, Twilight." Pinkie whispered to the lavender mare beside her. Twilight raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Rainbow Dash, open your eyes." Pinkie said. Rainbow opened her eyes, and looked at Pinkie questionably. "Surprise!" Pinkie said, pulling out Rainbow's favorite type of cupcakes, some movies, about fifty balloons, and a fluffy rainbow pillow for rainbow to lay on. As she let the balloons fly, and traded Dash's pillow for the new one, the room suddenly got a lot more lively. "Thanks Pinkie." Rainbow said, sitting up to hug the Pink pony. "I got you something too, Dash." Twilight said, pulling three new Daring Doo books from her saddle bag. "Thanks Twi! I can't wait to start reading these. I love these books." Rainbow hugged Twilight too, enjoying every second of it, but then laying back down, defeated by the pain in her back, and her flank. After several hours passed, and Rainbow had signed her fans hooves, all of the fanponies left, leaving the girls alone, watching the Doctor Whooves movie. "Psst- Twilight." Said Pinkie, tapping Twilight with her elbow. "Here's what I brought for you." Pinkie said, handing Twilight her gift. Twilight took the gift and unwrapped the wrapping paper, inside was a fancy, red, heart-shaped card, covered with candys, and sparkles, with a note telling her to push the button, followed by an arrow pointing towards a bright orange button. Twilight looked at Pinkie, smiled wearily, and pushed the button. 'Twilight Sparkle, will you go out with me?!' Pinkie's voice shouted at her from the card. The whole room went silent.
