Chapter 19.
While Martin and Twilight were eating he asked her if she knew anything about the kind of therapy that he will receive. She didn’t know much, just that the therapist was a nice stallion and that he shouldn’t worry.
When the mountain of pancakes had completely disappeared they cleaned up their mess and started to walk towards the large double doors. Just as they were about to open them they swung open and hit Twilight in the nose, sending her to the floor. She rubbed her nose and wanted to say a few not so nice words to the pony who did it. The pony in question was Luna, who stood there with a large blush on her face as she was apologizing. She helped Twilight up, apologized some more, and noticed Martin standing there and the red multiplied multiple times.
“Uhm… Hi Luna. Good to see you again.” He said while grinning stupidly. A bit of read appeared on his cheeks too.
The two stood opposite of each other for a while before Twilight couldn’t hold herself anymore. “What happened last night?!” She yelled out of frustration, her mane reddening a bit.
This only caused Martin and Luna’s face to become redder as they recalled what happened before. “Nothing.” They answered almost immediately.
Twilight was getting a bit sick of being left in the dark and just walked off, pulling Martin behind her. “See ya, Luna.” Twilight grunted as they walked towards the infirmary located in the belly of the castle. Martin yelled the same, albeit a lot more happy, as he was pulled out of her sight.
“Why did you do that?” Martin asked as soon as Twilight released him from her magical grip.
“Because you won’t tell me what happened, and neither will Luna.” Twilight grumbled.
“I’ll tell you in due time or when I feel like it, but I have to ask Luna too. She is involved after all.” He said as they walked through some more doors.
“What did you two did? Rob a bank.” She said.
“No, nothing as serious as that. We… I just don’t want to tell right now.” Martin sighed, knowing that Twilight wouldn’t stop with it.
They decided mutually that they would keep silent while they walked through the empty hallways.
Twilight opened the door and the stone hallways gave way for clean white floors and the typical hospital hallways. Several ponies in white were walking around, clipboards floating in front of them.
Twilight’s mood got a bit better as she walked towards the office of the hospital’s manager. Martin shivered a bit, thinking about his bad experiences with hospitals.
They entered and walked up to the beige pony sitting there. “Hello, Miss. Sparkle. It is good to see you again.” He said cheery, then he noticed Martin standing next to her. He ducked behind his desk and looked generally scared.
“Don’t be scared of me. I don’t hurt anything.” Martin said, trying to look not as scary as he did.
The doctor was too scared to say anything, so he whimpered some more. “Please don’t hurt me.” He asks quietly.
Twilight calmed him down by ensuring him that Martin didn’t eat ponies or use them as his furniture. The doctor regained his composure and sat down back on his seat. “So for what did you came here?” He asked while looking at some papers.
“Martin is wondering if he has any magic in him. He was reading a book and he got curious. So can we do that doc?” Twilight asked.
“He wants to know if he has magic, sure. Why not?” The doctor said while grabbing an form from one of his drawer. “We can do the test right now and have the result done in a few minutes. Follow me.” He said while grabbing the forms in his magic and walking out of the door, Martin and Twilight following him.
“Will this test hurt?” Martin asked Twilight as they walked
“I don’t know. I have never done this test before. I did some other tests, but they were for unicorns.” She responded.
“Then let’s hope it doesn’t.” He said while shivering a bit, thinking about the stuff that could be done to him.
They followed the doctor into a room with walls that were lined with cabinets, chest and other things that Martin couldn’t fully grasp.
He was told to sit down on a small bed while the doctor went to go get some stuff. Twilight sat down next to him and leaned on him. She smiled a bit.
Martin thought that it was a little strange, but paid no attention to it. He was wondering what it would be like to have magic. Would he be capable of flinging lighting from his hands or throw a swarm of angry bees from his palms. He would be happy with some simple levitation.
His thought were interrupted when the doctor came walking in, pulling an table and machine behind him. He saw no large needles of other stuff that he should be scared of, so he didn’t worry too much.
“We just have to attach some clamps to your arms, they do have small needles in them, but they shouldn’t draw blood.” He said while putting said clamps on Martin arms. They did sting a bit, but nothing too serious. “I need to attach this band to your head too.” He said while putting an tight band around Martin’s head and pulling it even tighter.
He attached a lot of wires to the machine, which had been bleeping softly in the corner. He flipped a switch and the clamps and band started to get warm and Martin got a fuzzy feeling inside his head.
The machine stopped bleeping and started to churn out large amount of data. After it stopped spewing out paper the doctor grabbed them all. “I will analyze these and give you the results in a few minutes.” He said while walking out of the door with the paper.
“So how did it feel?” Twilight asked, feeling the small marking that the clamps left on Martin’s arms.
“It didn’t hurt. So I should be happy about that, but I felt very warm and fuzzy on the inside.” Martin said while rubbing his head.
“I’m happy to hear that. And now to wait for the results.” She said as she got back to laying her head on Martin’s arm.
They sat like that for a few minutes before the doctor came in again. “I have good news and I have bad news. Which should I say first?”
