Continuing the Dream

by Blue Breeze


Something Unexpected

"What do you think could've happened to him?" Drax asks as they continue to gallop to the hospital.

"Do I look like a doctor to you?" Ice asks. "I know I saw him grabbing at his chest. Those shots the ursa minor must have got him hard."

"Yeah, I was noticing that." Zephyr adds.

"Zeph, since you're the fastest, I think you should go tell the others about what's happened to Blue." Vine suggests.

"Good idea. I'm on it!" he then takes off as directed.

"Dark, why are you following us?"

"Just accept that I'm helping you and don't question it." he answers.

The rest of the ponies give him a smile. Big jerk just doesn't wanna admit that he cares. They arrive at the hospital and quickly go inside to the front desk.

"Oh my! What's wrong?" the nurse manning the desk asks.

"Our friend is in need of medical attention immediately!" Vine answers.

"Yes, of course!" she presses a button at the counter. "We require a gerny at the front office on floor one."

Suddenly, several ponies come out of an elevator and take me from Drax. They gently set me down on the gerny and take me to find an empty room.

"Don't worry, your friend is in good hooves. He should be okay." the nurse tells everypony.

"We sure hope so."

As I'm being wheeled by the ponies, I start thinking to myself in my barely conscious state. 'Why does everything happen to me? I nearly die by some hopped up, lightning powered psycho and two days later I'm going to the hospital after protecting the whole town from an army of monsters. *sigh* At least I can't say my life is boring.'

I then relax myself and fall asleep. These things are actually pretty comfy.

The next day(generic transitions for the win!)

After Zephyr had gathered up the others the previous day, the others had let them all know that I had gotten hurt during our fight with the monsters. Rainbow Dash was actually so worried she stayed the whole night in my room.

I start to wake up. "Ugh, that definitely is something I don't wanna go through again." I look myself over to see that I'm now wearing a hospital gown, and I can feel bandages around my chest. Great, back to this again.

Dash begins to stir in her chair at hearing my voice. She opens her eyes and they shoot up as they notice me. "BLUE!" she yells before hugging me. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Me too! But you're hurting my chest!" I say in pain.

She lets go and gives a sheepish smile. "Oops. Hehe, sorry."

"It's cool. We really do have to stop meeting like this though." I joke.

"Then you gotta be more careful."

"I've already explained this. If I weren't careful, I'd already be dead."

"Yeah, yeah. You keep telling yourself that."

"By the way, what am I doing in the hospital anyway? Couldn't Twilight just cast another healing spell on me?"

"Twilight explained that the spell she knows can only heal injuries on the outside of the body. You got some cracked ribs. An injury like that is a lot harder to fix. The doctors say you'll have to stay here until the day after tomorrow."

"Two more days of staying here?" I ask in annoyance. "Well, at least I'll have you hear to keep me company."

She leans over and kisses me. "You know it."

I smile at her before a thought comes to mind. "So, now that we've used our powers, other ponies know about them."

"Yeah, they do. Most ponies actually think it's pretty cool. News of it is spreading fast. Also, what was that you shouted at the ursa? Fus Ro what?"

"Fus Ro Dah. They're apparently these words of great power. I read about them. They were used by some guy named Dragonborn, but I don't really remember."

"Now don't go all egg-heady on me." she says with a poke at my side. Ow.

"Don't be jealous just because I'm smart." I say smugly.

"Oh, before I forget! There's actually a big award ceremony going on at town hall right now. They're honoring all you guys and giving you each medals."

"Really? That sounds awesome! But, why aren't you there?"

"Eh, I know how boring the hospital can be when you're all alone. I didn't want to put you through that."

I lean up and nuzzle her. "Thanks, babe."

Over at town hall

A stage is set up out front. Zeph, Vine, Drax, Ice, and Dark are all standing on the back part of the stage waiting for the ceremony to start.

Mayor Ivory Scroll walks up the side of the stage and gets behind a podium that is set. "Attention everypony!" she shouts, getting the crowd's attention. "We are all gathered here today to honor these ponies, the very ponies who protected our town from the invasion of the Everfree Forest monsters."

The crowd goes into a wild applause.

"Yes. The ponies we are here to honor are as follows. Mr. Zephyr Verve, Ms. Vinetion Lutin, Mr. Drax, Mr. Ice, Mr. Dark Lightning, and Mr. Blue Breeze!"

As each of the names are called, the corresponding pony walks up and gets a medal put over their head.

Off in the crowd, a pegasus mare with a white coat, blue eyes, blune mane with a white headband, blue and white tail, and cutie mark of of a cloud with hail dropping from it, looks up at the stage in glee.

"I'm so proud of Blue." she says. She then takes notice that, obviously, I'm not there. "Wait, where is Blue?"

Zephyr goes up podium and takes the medal that was meant for me. "I'd just like to say a few words for my friend, Blue Breeze. During the fight, Blue got hurt and is now in the hospital, that's why he isn't here. But, I'm sure that if he were here, he'd be honored to accept this award."

Pinkie suddenly appears beside him, looking as excited as ever. "And when Breezy does feel better, I'm going to throw a HUGE party to celebrate!" she says

"Pinkie, I'm trying to do something here!"

"Oops. Sorry, Zephy." she then gets off the stage.

"Anyway, we'll honorably be accepting this award on his behalf."

And with that, the crowd cheers for them all as they walk off stage.

"Blue's in the hospital? Hurt? I've gotta go see him!" the same mare says to herself before she gallops away.

Back at the hospital, I sit with Rainbow Dash as we wait for the others to drop by. As if on cue, everypony walks into the room.

"So, how'd it go?" I ask.

"Good to see you're finally awake, Bluey." Zeph says. "It went great. We even brought your medal for you."

He pulls out my medal and gives it to me. "Huh, it at least matches my mane and coat. " I say before putting it on.

Before we can continue talking, the mare from the before runs into the room. "Bluey! I came by to see you as soon as I heard what happened." she says before hugging me. "I missed you so much."

I return the hug. "It's good to see you, Haily. I missed you too."

"Haily? Blue, who is this?" Dash asks.

We break the hug and I smile at everypony. "Guys, meet my sister, Soft Hail."
