You slowly open your eyes and let out a yawn. As you sit up on the bed, you look around the semi lite room when suddenly you see pink glowing eyes in the corner. "OH GEEZ!" you jump. Giggling came from the direction of the eyes. The curtains are pulled back to revel Night Watch who is upside down hanging from the shelf. She lets go of the shelves and free falls but in a split seconds she lands in an upright position and walks over. "Good morning," she chirps happily "I didn't mean to make you jump," "What were you doing?" you ask through deep breaths of an attempt to calm your startled heart. "I was just making sure that you didn't try to get out of bed again" she says sitting next to the bed. "Which leads me to this question, why where on the floor yesterday?" "I sleep walk," you say lying though your teeth. The look on Night Watch's face tells you that she doesn't buy your lie. "Out of all the excuses I've heard that has to be the worst," she says with a slight giggle. "Now seriously, tell me why," You sigh and have no other excuses so you tell her the truth. "Alright, I just thought by the way you yelled at me yesterday and how you stormed out the room that you didn't want me in your house or anywhere near you. So I just thought that I would just leave... but that kind of failed," you say getting it off your chest. You look over at Night Watch who looks a little upset with a small smile. Suddenly she nuzzles your check which makes you blush. "I'm sorry for making you feel like that," she says as she nuzzles you for a moment. "I just wanted you to know that you shouldn't make stereotypes," "I'm sorry! It will never happen again," you say smiling at her. "Good," she says happily then nuzzles you again, she suddenly stops when she remembers something. "By the way, the doctor is coming by this afternoon to check your leg," "Oh okay, when did he tell you that he was coming?" "About a week ago after he fixed your leg," she explained. "Has it really been a week already?" you ask in astonishment. "Yeah, oh how the time has passed," Night Watch says getting back to her hooves.“So how about I make us some hay sandwiches?" "Sounds good," you say smiling before she gets to the door you catch her attention by saying "If the doctor says that I'm able to get out of this bed I am going to make you one mean blueberry pie," "Aw, you don't have to do that," "Yes I do. You've done a lot for me this past week so I'm going to make you a pie," you say in a serious tone. "Oh, okay then," she says with a giggle but before she leaves the room she sways her hips which causes you to blush harder than ever. You're pretty sure she did that on purpose. -- You lay on the bed with Night Watch standing by your side and a Bat Doctor who goes by the name of Dim Orb. He's been examining your leg very carefully making sure not to add to much pressure. "So how is it looking Doc?" you ask trying to gauge his expression. "It's certainly healing well," he responds until he let out small hum of deep thought. "But there seems to be a lump right here," he continues circling the area of where the lump is located. "Is it anything serious?" Night Watch asks in concern. "Not at all," he reassures. "It's just a bit of swelling. Can I ask how you managed to do this?" he asks looking. "I was having a bad dream and I was rolling around and fell of the bed" You answer, again trying to make a excuse so you don't get in trouble with the doctor. "Hmm," he says not sure what to make of that statement. "Miss Night Watch is this true?" "Nope," Night Watch answer quickly. Damn it, Night Watch! "He tried walking out of here and ended up falling and hitting his leg," "I see," Orb says unimpressed "Now I'm going to ask you to stay in bed for about four to five days," he continues, causing you to groan in frustration. "But after those four days you'll be able to walk around and get that leg pumping again," "Thank you very much for coming, Doctor," Night Watch says walking to the front door. "I will coming back in a couple of weeks to check up on you," Orb says before he walks outside and the door slowly shuts behind him. Night Watch comes back in the room with a big smile on her face. "Isn't that great news?” She says jumping slightly. "Yeah, it's awesome," you says smirking at her with a slight chuckle at her enthusiasm. "I can't wait to stretch my legs," "Yeah!" Night Wing agrees flapping her wings "Maybe I could show you around the town" "Town?... wait, where are we?" you ask with a tilt of your head. "Oh! how could I forget. We're in Calling Wood," "And where is Calling Wood located?" "You know that forest behind Canterlot?" she question, which you respond with a nod "We're just in the middle of that," "Oh," There was a awkward silence between the two of you because neither of you could think of a way to keep the conversation going. "So... you hungry?" she asks. "Yeah, I could go for something to eat," -- You were snug in the bed ready to get some sleep, when Night Watch comes in full gold amour. You can't help to think of how good she looks. "Well I'm off to work," she says with a huff. "You work for the princess'?" you ask in shock. "Yeah, I do the night shifts," she explains with a smile. "Oh so that's how you found me," you say with a slight smile. "Yep!" She says proudly. "I'll be back in the morning, have a good night sleep!" she finishes before walking towards the front door. As you were about to lay down on the bed and pull the covers on you Night Watch come flying back into the room and nuzzles your cheek. Before you could say anything she flies back out and slams the front door. “Huh,”
