Fluttershy awoke slowly her mane and coat were drenched in sweat and she felt aches all over as well as a pounding headache she got up shakily throwing the sweat soaked sheets to the side, they smelled right nasty. She trotted lazily over to the bathroom door and, opened it with more than a little trouble finally closing her hoof around the knob. She entered grabbing some headache medicine from her cabinet. She then proceeded to take begin to adjust the knobs carefully setting it to
very hot. the shy kind mare sighed as the hot water rushed over her. It felt nice, like a sauna. As the nights hard sweats drained away, she slowly relaxed herself. After what awhile she heard a knock at the door. she jumped in surprise knocking over quite a few bottles of soap as she hurriedly put on a bathrobe and, trotted quickly down the stairs. She smiled a little after hearing a familiar voice
"Darling are you quite alright in there I heard something fall!"
Fluttershy opened the door smiling glad to see a friend
"I'm fine rarity I just got out of the shower and some bottles fell"
"Oh I thought perhaps you may have fallen due to your hurt leg"
Fluttershy glanced down at her cast not daring put a ounce of weight on her hurt leg
"No it still hurts though..."
"Give it time darling you'll heal up and before you know at all you'll be right back out there"
Rarity smiled optimistically while Fluttershy still looked doubtful
"if you say so Rarity..."
"Oh Fluttershy don't look so hopeless darling everypony hurts themselves every now and then!"
Rarity put a comforting hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder and Fluttershy felt her spirits rise a peek
"come now darling there is much work to be done!"
After rarity had said that she set to work her horn glowing and, heating up as she did most of her chores with magic to abstain from being dirty by the end. As rarity turned Fluttershy's house into a scene from fantasia Fluttershy scrambled from place to place but the precisity of rarity's magic kept Fluttershy from doing much but sit and shift uncomfortably the smell of singed horn filled the small cottage but what made Fluttershy the most uncomfortable ,other than not being the sole provider for her animals, wasn't the fact that rarity was over exerting herself and burning her horn. The thing that bothered her is that she didn't feel the need to stop her she felt no empathy for her. After all she wouldn't let her help in anyway so why should she care. her usually heavy conscience was no where to be found. finally she almost snapped out of it when she began to salivate from the smell of cooked horn but, it was to late rarity had just finished when a loud CRACK sounded and, the last few items dropped as rarity clutched her horn. Her first instinct was to jump into action but using her broken hoof as a excuse she took her sweet time getting there watching rarity wiggle squirm and, cry in pain as she approached with a sick little smile so unlike her. the Pegasus she stood over top of rarity.
"could you help me up darling I'm afraid I may have used a little more magic then I intended to"
Fluttershy grimaced she didn't wan't to help she wanted to see her squirm.
"I'm sorry rarity I tried to warn you but you probably couldn't hear me"
Fluttershy extended her hurt hoof and then let out a pretend cry of pain an took it away.
"Oh Fluttershy do forgive me while I have been caught in my predicament I seem to have completely forgotten about your's"
suddenly Fluttershy came back to reality just as she was thinking of how she should drag her sniveling flank by the horn into the basement and beat her within a inch of her life for being so foalish as to have forgotten about her hoof.
"Oh- oh my rarity of course I can!"
she helped rarity to her hooves the mare surprised at fluttershy's change of heart about helping her!
"th- thank you darling I'll be alright would you like to take a trip to the spa with me they may be able to help both of us now"
Fluttershy nods genuinely glad not just to go to the spa but, because she wasn't getting the urge to torture and mame her longtime friend.she follows rarity out the door and, over to the spa.
"here we are darling!"
