We sat there, looking down at the tile. I probably shouldn't have brought up his parents, all I did was make him even more sad than cheer him up. I shouldn't have said anything, actually. I should have never gotten close to him, and I should have never dropped Fluttershy.
".. I'm stupid." I simply said to break the silence.
"Yeah, you probably feel like a real jackass right now, don't you?" he replied with a smirk.
The colt started laughing a bit. I didn't laugh until I realized that it was a joke, but my laugh was more forced and exaggerated. After the laughter stopped, we returned to an awkward silence in the waiting room. When I looked around, I realized that we were the only ponies there aside from the clerk.
"I'm sorry for bringing up your parents." I broke the silence again. This time it took him a few moments to respond.
"It's alright. You didn't know. My name is Brownfinder. What's your name?"
"It's Rainbow Dash."
"Hey, I guess that explains the color in your mane. Are you gay, or something? Dyed your hair?" the colt laughed.
"No. It's natural."
We resorted to silence again, as our eyes slowly drifted toward the tile. This time it wasn't me who broke the silence, it was the clerk talking through the microphone.
"Brownfinder, please report to room 102. Your parents are waiting for you." This sentence was repeated a few times, before the speakers make a click, and what seemed to be a static noise stopped.
".. Will you come with me?" the colt said. I didn't even know that he was talking to me until he tapped my shoulder.
"Well, I'm kind of waiting for my frie-" the colt cut me off mid-sentence.
"Please?"
I could only look down at Brownfinder in pity, patting his head. "Fine, I'll go with."
I followed the colt into the door that he pointed at earlier, somewhat forgetting about Fluttershy. It seemed like my new friend had cheered me up a bit. I could hear faint beeping noises as we got closer to room 102. The beeping noises got more and more prolonged until we opened the door.
Two unconscious ponies laid there, along with a loud, never ending beeping noise.
