Fluttershy woke up. She was unaware of her surroundings. Then she realized, she was in a hospital. Slowly, she sat up and fell back down with a sharp pain in her head. She heard voices drawing closer to her.

"Who-who's there?" She said hiding her head in the hospital blanket. 

She heard a soft voice say,"It's ok, it's just me, your doctor." Fluttershy peeked her head out of the blanket and sighed.

"Oh thank goodness! I thought you were a- how long have I been here?" Fluttershy questioned.

"One whole week, you've been asleep the whole time," The doctor said. "What happened to me?"

"Well, it appears you got knocked out by...apples and have been asleep up until now," He said to her.

"Oh......," Fluttershy mumbled.

"Well, I must go now, but you do have visitors," The doctor said. Fluttershy's eyes widened.

"Oh ok, may I please have my first visitor Doctor......?" She questioned.

"Scott, and yes you may," Dr.Scott said.

"Thank you," Fluttershy said. He nodded and walked out and not that many seconds later a pink pony came barging in.

"FLUTTERSHY!!! OMIGOSH YOUR AWAKE!! I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER WAKE UP!! ITS BEEN A WHOLE SEVEN DAYS!! A WEEK!! THAT'S SUCH A LONG TIME TO NOT GET TO TALK OR SEE YOU!!" Pinkie Pie said in one breath. Fluttershy smiled.

"Hello Pinkie Pie, yes, I know, it has been a while, hasn't it?" Fluttershy said to the pink party pony.

"Yes! A VEERRRYYY long while!! Everypony has waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited for you to wake up!! But it's only me, Applejack, and Big Mac here today since Twilight is in Canterlot fulfilling her princess duties and Rarity is also in Canterlot at another one of Fancypant's parties and Rainbow is at another Wonderbolt Academy so therefore it's only me, Applejack and Big Mac!!" Pinkie explained.

"Oh, well, I hope their having fun there and- wait Big Mac is here?!?" The shy pony said. Pinkie nodded.

Then Dr. Scott came in.

"Your time is up, Miss Pinkie Pie, another visistor is waiting to talk to Miss Fluttershy here, so i'm afraid you must go."

"Oh ok, bye Fluttershy!" Pinkie said, giving Fluttershy a big hug."Goodbye Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie smiled and left the room. An orange pony then came in.

"Howdy, Fluttershy, it's been a while," Applejack said grinning."Hello Applejack, nice to see you again."Applejck nodded.

"Are y'all feeling ok? You've been out for quite some time now," Applejack said.

"Yes, i'm ok now, atleast, all I remember is something hard falling on me and a pony running towards me," Fluttershy said.

"Oh, right, my brother actually brought y'all here."

"Really? Well, tell him I said thank you." Then Fluttershy remembered. The lunch. The thank you. She never asked him.

"How about y'all tell him yourself," Applejack said.

"Well, I was but then I ended up here instead," Fluttershy said, frowning."I was going to take him out to lunch to tell him thank you but I guess it never worked out."

"Well, now's your chance," Applejack said.

"Alright, times up, it's time for the last visitor," Dr. S said. Applejack embraced Fluttershy with a warm hug.

"Good luck, Fluttershy," AJ whispered.

"Thank you," Fluttershy whispered back, smiling.

Applejack nodded then walked out. A large red stallion appeared in AJ's place. Fluttershy's heart started to race.

"Uh, howdy Miss Fluttershy," Big Macintosh said."Hello......"

An awkward silence went between them. Then Big Mac spoke up,"Um, i'm sorry, for uh, what ah did, ah wasn't lookin', will y'all forgive me, please?

Fluttershy smiled.

"Of course, and it wasn't your fault, you didn't know that I was there," She said.

Big Mac smiled.

"Thank you," He said.

"No, thank you, for bringing me here I mean, you saved me, thank you," She said, smiling at Big Mac making him blush a little.
He nodded.

"But I do have one question," Fluttershy said.

"Oh? Tell me," He said.

"Go out to lunch with me? I mean for a thank you, but I understand completley if you don-" Fluttershy got cut off.

"Ah would love to go."
