"H-hello?" My hooves ache, I'm just waking up, and I'm on the ground in the pure darkness. "Twilight? Are you here? Are you ok?" No response. I slowly get up onto my hooves and walk around the room, basically blind.
"Psst, Write." I know that voice, but he hasn't been here at all. "Write, it's me, Spike." I stand corrected, he's here know.
"Spike? Listen, wherever you are I need to get out of here."
"Ok, I'm at the doorway, I'll turn on the lights and you sneak your way to me."
"Ok." The lights turn on and scattered across the floor is an uncountable numbe of sleeping, crazy Twilights. "Spike, please explain."
"Well, she knocked you out with a spell and brought you down here she then cloned herself with the mirror pool and brought them all here to surround you until she wakes up."
"What would she do if she wakes up and I'm here with her?"
"You don't want to know." That's enough for me to hear. I silently walk my way to the door and trip on one of the last sleeping Twilights.
"He's escaping!" She yells. I get surrounded by Twilights and pushed to the ground.
"And where do you think you're going?" This must be the real Twilight with her crazed smile and messy hair.
"Were you tardy with your letter?" I ask innocently.
"Tardy? No, I don't even send those anymore. But you must be tired, here, take a nap." She raises her hoof but I duck my head, missing her attempted hit. I'm still pinned to the floor, but I'm can tell she doesn't care. "Well now, looks like we have a fighter. Bring him to the basement." I try my best but I'm stuck in the hooves of the copied Twilights. They throw me down the stairs and I fall onto a chair with my back. I lay there in pain, basically ready to sleep and hope to wake up with hands and feet as the last thing I feel like being a part of is a Twilight's basement massacre. The door closes and I'm in the dark, I didn't even know that this part of her house existed. I hear a door from upstairs open, I have always had great hearing, all of the ear infections made my ears sensitive and my poor eyesight enhances my hearing.
"Twilight, stop!" I can hear Rainbow Dash in the room, Spike must have left to get her. They bicker for the next few minutes, and I try yelling for help but they were too busy yelling at each other to even hear me. I give up, hoping they figure out I'm down here. As if she hears my thoughts, the door opens then closes again. The light turns on and Fluttershy is cowering at the top of the stairs. She gasps, looks at the door, then back to me. She slowly walks down the stairs and stops in front of me.
"Would you like some help?" She asks, being serious. I can't help but let out a small laugh, she can even make being a prisoner bearable.
"Yes please." She helps me up off of the chair, but I quickly fall over. "Thanks Fluttershy, but there's no way I'm going too far. I'd need to be carried up the stairs and to a hospital or somewhere where I can get my back looked at." She stops and thinks for a minute or two, then trots upstairs. She comes back down with Rarity who levitates me upstairs and to the nearest hospital. I'm actually surprised she can hold me up for that long, she is definitely getting better with her magic.
The next few days go by slowly, I can see why Rainbow resorted to reading. According to the doctor I broke my back when I hit the metal chair which would explain the surgery. Some background characters like Lyra and Bon Bon came to see me. Lyra's obsession with hands is real, and that's concerning to Bon Bon who keeps trying to get Lyra looked at by Twilight who apparently really did give a psychological examination to Rainbow Dash about Applejack after the Lesson zero episode. I wanted to say that I used to have hands, but that would get out of hands.
"Hey there soldier!" Rainbow Dash comes flying into the room, happy as can be. "And how are you doing?"
"I'm fine. They said the surgery went fine and I should recover by the end of the week."
"Awesome! You know that your one of the first residents of Ponyville to get a surgery?" No wonder they never mention it on the show, it never happens.
"Hey, sorry but I have to go. Work is going to be busy and my shift will start in five minutes, I'll get Fluttershy to keep you company though."
"No that's-" I stop myself for three reasons, one would be that I have been enjoying the peace and tranquility, two would be that I initially didn't hear her say Fluttershy and that would be nice to have her here, and three is that even if I had said no, she left too soon for me to even answer.
A few more hours go by and I try my best to be entertained. The lamp is a good distractor, turning it on and off. I open and close the dividing curtain since I'm alone in the room, and I eventually fall asleep seeing as though there are no books. I'm woken up by a soft sound in the front of the bed. The time is just after nine and the windows show it's nighttime. I look up and at the foot of my bed is Fluttershy. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. Rainbow just wanted me to come down and give you company but she told me half an hour ago."
"Half an hour ago? Whatever, it's fine Fluttershy. Listen, if you want to go back home you can. It's kind of pointless now seeing as though your animals are probably missing you."
"Are you sure? I could-"
"Oh my darling! We heard what happened to your back, are you alright?" Rarity runs into the room and is followed by PinkiePie and Applejack.
"Sugar cube, are you feeling alright?"
Oh my gosh! Are you ok?! You're one of the-"
Applejack is getting annoyed and it becomes pretty obvious. "Pinkie, shhh, others are sleeping in the building."
"Oh, sorry."
"Anyways darling, we are terribly sorry for what happened. Twilight lost her mind to be quite blunt. She attended her brothers promotion ceremony in the army two weeks ago, a royal meeting one and a half weeks ago, she took at a dance at the Canterlot-"
"Rarity, it's fine. I'm not mad at her, I know she has a busy and stressful life now. She may have broken my back and make me get hospitalized, but I forgive her." I'm guessing this shocked them. PinkiePie was silent and stared at me with a blank face, Applejack had her mouth open, Rarity looked down, and Fluttershy sat in a corner of the room.
"Wow sugar cube, you sure are forgiving. She could have killed ya'."
"If she did then it would be a different story, but she didn't. And honestly, where I'm from, these things happened all the time."
"Really?" Fluttershy asks from her corner.
"Oh yeah. They would become famous, or gain power, and then freak out with all of the attention. Same thing with Twilight, she is so stressed out with her new responsibilities that when something hit her with surprise, she lost it."
"Wow." PinkiePie said the only word for the next few minutes. Most of them are shocked with how I'm not hating Twilight, at least that's what I'm guessing.
"I think we should go y'all, it's getting late." The clock says it's ten, funny how time flies by in a cartoon world.
"Ok, let's go Pinkie. Bye Write."
"Bye Write." They close the door. I lie down in my bed until I hear Fluttershy in her corner shivering. I figured she left with the others.
"Fluttershy, would you like a chair?"
"I'm fine, thank you." Of course she is.
"Fluttershy, really, there is one over there." I point to across the room. She gets up and brings it over. She sits in it and almost Immediately falls asleep. I throw my blanket at her and it lands on her. She curls up in the chair and resumes her sleep. I would wake her up and tell her to go home, but she would most likely just fall asleep on the way. I just figure to leave her and fall asleep in my bed. I only have a week in the hospital left, I might as well make the best of it.
