	At Ponyville Hospital, the five ponies were in the waiting room, waiting for Pinkie Pie's diagnosis. Rainbow Dash paced impatiently around the room.
"Uggh. What's taking them so long."
"Be patient Rainbow." said Twilight. "I'm sure everything's going to be fine."
"I know." said the blue pegasus. "I just can't stand waiting." Rarity was reading one of the magazines.
"Oh I hope Pinkie's okay." said Fluttershy.
"My goodness, do they ever get new magazines in these places. This issue is nearly twenty years old, the fashions are so out of style." Spike sat next to her doing a crossword puzzle.
"Anypony know a five letter word for happiest?" They all scratched their heads. Just then the doctor came out.
"Is Pinkie Pie alright?" asked Twilight intently.
"She's fine." said the doctor. "But she's not quite herself."
"What do you mean?" demanded Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie was wheeled out of the exam room in a wheelchair, with her hind right leg in a cast.
"A cast." said Pinkie. "Can you believe it? I'm in a cast."
"Well if you didn't go so hard on that swing you wouldn't be in a cast."
"How bad a break is it?" asked Twilight.
"The bone is broken in two places, both below the kneecap. She needs to stay off it as much as possible so it can heal properly."
"Doctor?" asked Rarity. "How long will she be in the cast?"
"Six weeks." Pinkie stuck her hooves in her eyes. "Six whole weeks in a concrete sock. I'm gonna miss the whole summer. There were so many things I had planned to do. Parties, and camping, and other things I can't even think of."
"It's not so bad Pinkie Pie." said Fluttershy. "We're here, and will take care of you."
"Darn tootin." said Applejack. "Why, with a little smart thinkin, the next six weeks are gonna go by faster than a snail on hot coals."
"Really?" Pinkie wiped the tears from her eyes. "Like how?" Applejack scratched her head.
"Um....Haven't thought about that just yet." Pinkie stared at AJ with a blank look.
"But we'll think of something, won't we girls." they all nodded in agreement.
"But let's get Pinkie home first." said Twilight. "She's had a rough day."
Twilight pushed Pinkie's wheelchair out of the hospital with the others and Spike following. Pinkie rested her head on her hoof and sighed.
