Test Results (sad)

By: Sam Cole


~~~~~<>~~~~~


What do you expect to be the worst news you'll ever hear? That a loved one died? That you are going to die? How about a dear friend is going to die soon? That's some pretty bad news.

The results of her blood test confirmed the growing fear eating away at us all as of late. Poor Rarity, truly. Rarity was sick, so very sick. The technical name is long and painful sounding, and those words do not fit her beautiful visage, so allow me the courtesy of being frank. Rarity's kidneys where shutting down. She needed a donor, and soon. I did all I could. I studied the medicines for weeks, but I found no miracle pill. I studied every tome in my library, but found no archaic words worthy.

But the doctors, they did find an answer. Those clever colts in their pristine coats discovered that Rarity had a match. Me.

I am a perfect match for Rarity. Before they could even finish explain this news to me, I was sold. I told them right there to take me into surgery. I would give her one of my kidneys. I didn't even stop to ask normal questions, like how would this affect my life. I was crazy that day. Blessedly crazy.

My friends all cheered for me, and I yelled at them for it. I can't believe I had to tell them, but I did. I'm not a hero, Rarity is. Rarity never gave up hope, when I almost did. Rarity made friends in the hospital, and grew as a pony. I became a shut in while I searched. Rarity had even lately donated her mane to the foals with cancers, just so they could feel normal. I was just born lucky, able to help her. Rarity is a hero. I'm just a tool.

But I'm alright with this. As long as she comes out alright, I'll b-

"Miss Twilight?" The doctor asked as I tore my eyes away from the diary page. "They're ready for you."

"Then we should be going." I said as I let the doctor wheel me away in a chair. I never even looked back at that diary as I raced on to save my friend. Soon I was in a gown, sitting on a gurney as I answered questions and had an I.V. drawn. All standard. What I didn't expect was my new hero to come in also.

"Hello dear," Rarity smiled. She was thinner now, and pale. She looked different without hair also. She was beautiful now. She was stronger right now than I recall ever seeing her.

"Hello yourself there, Rarity." I smiled. "I think I have something here for you."

"I hope so, otherwise they grabbed the wrong pony again." Rarity laughed. "Thank you Twilight. You're my savior."

"I was just born lucky. You're the strong one."

"No, I'm not." Rarity sighed. "I was scared, but found courage in your quest. You never gave up. You found one hundred wrong answers, whilst all I had to do was not give up on living. You even chose to do something radical, reckless, and maybe even crazy, at the drop of a hat. Just for me. Thank you Twilight. You're my hero."

"I just wanted to do what's right." I smiled warmly, even if the smile was small.

"I'll make it up to you, dear. Dinner when we wake up?"

I laughed hard now. "Sure. First I.V. is on you." The nurse nodded to me as she spliced in the antithetic. I felt my world start to get blurry, as Rarity's did too, because the last words we said, I'm pretty sure, went a little like this.

"I love you, Twilight."

"I love me too. And you Rarity. Like... love love."

"Good, I'm not alone." I guess I'll have to talk to her about that, when we wake up.
