Recovering

Note: I will not say everything that happened in the hospital, so I will skip around a few days.

Chapter 3: Recovering

It's been about a day since I've been in the hospital. I was busy reading a book Twilight gave me when Rainbow Dash walked in.
"What's up, Stargazer?" She asked, walking towards me.
"Well, I'm not dead thanks to you. I owe you one" I replied.
"Well, as soon as you get out of the hospital, come by my place." And with that, she left the room.

Two Days Later.

Friefly, my best friend, and his older sister, Solar Flare, walked in the room.
"What's up, Stargazer?" They both said at the same time. I looked at them, puzzled.
"Deja vu." I said.
"Well, I basically have ninth degree burns, and it will take about a week to recover." I replied.
"I didn't know that ninth degree burns exist." Firefly said.
"They do now." I chuckled. Solar Flare looked me over.
"Dude, look at yourself! You're a mess." She said. I looked myself over.
"It's not so ba-" I looked at my stomach. There was literally a giant burn mark streaking through it, and it was also very scraped up.
"Wow, I never noticed that." I said.
"Well, we brought flowers." Firefly said. I furrowed my brow.
"Seriously? Flowers?" I asked.
"Hey, it was her idea." Firefly pointed to her sister.
"Well, we had best be going." Firefly said, walking towards the door.
I went back to reading my book.

Two Weeks Later.

Twilight and her friends, except for Rainbow Dash, walked in.
"What's up, Stargazer?" Twilight said. I stared at her.
"I have heard that way too many times." I said.
"We just wanted to thank you for saving Equestria." Fluttershy said behind her mane.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Rainbow Dash did that." I objected.
"Oh, don't be so modest darling." Rarity said.
"Yeah! And right after you get out of the hospital, we're gonna throw a party for you! Ooh,ooh, there should be plenty of balloons, and chocolate cake, and punch!" Pinkie Pie said while bouncing up and down.
"Well, thank you for stopping by." I said.
"We also brought ya some flowers!" Applejack said. I waved my hoof.
"No no no, I already have some, give it to the pony next door." I insisted.
"Too bad." Twilight said, and she put them on the table next to me.
"I need to go,um...f-feed Angel." Fluttershy said and left the room as fast as she could.
"What's up with her?" I asked.
"Oh, you know Fluttershy, always freaks out when the world is on the brink of destruction." Twilight said.
"Let's follow her!" Pinkie Pie said. I looked at her, but she was gone.
"See ya later, sugarcube." Applejack said. And with that, they left.

One week later.

I was walking towards Rainbow Dash's house. I had finally recovered from the hospital, but they said for me to take it easy on my wings. I can still fly, but I can't do it too fast. I walked to her cloud house, and flew up to it. I knocked on the door, and it made a surprising hollow sound.
"Come in." Rainbow Dash called. I walked inside.
"Up here." She called from upstairs, in her bedroom. I went up the stairs and opened the door. She was lying down on her bed and was staring at me.
"Hi, Stargazer." She said in a lustful voice. My smile turned into a blank expression, and I walked out of the door backwards and closed the door. I turned around and walked down the stairs and out of the house. I hovered to the ground and walked to my house, 7 miles away, without saying a word. I walked into my house, into my bed, and drifted to sleep.
