//------------------------------// // 93. Dance by Silver Scrolls // Story: The Sun and the Stars: A Twilestia Prompt Collab // by Fuzzyfurvert //------------------------------// by Silver Scrolls *** Screams of anguish and horrified mutters ran up and down the stark white hallway. Doctors ran back and forth while nurses screamed out orders and couples consoled each other. Two gurney’s raced down the hallway, an alicorn in each. The purple one looked ashamed and had wraps on all four of her legs while the white one stared at the ceiling, shock written over her face. They were wheeled into a room where they lapsed into silence for a few minutes. “Well that could have gone better.” The diarch of the sun winced as she tried to turn her head to look at the mare in the bed beside hers. “How did that-” Twilight winced and interrupted her. “Let’s not talk about it...EVER.” The doors as the far side of the room swung open and the sounds of a frantic hospital drifted through, silenced by the doors as the swung shut. A grey stallion in a lab coat held a a chart in a blue glow in front of him, flipping through the pages. “Well it looks like you two are fine to go.” He looked up. “Not sure how two alicorns got so hurt from dancing though.” His eyes drifted to twilight who blushed. “You should stay of your hooves for a few days though, and avoid any music that makes you want to dance.” Celestia and Twilight winced in unison. “I swear I will never dance again.” Twilight looked to her new wife. “Next time, remind me of my past dances before I even go near the dance floor.” Celestia’s face turned surprised. “Are you saying this is my fault, because it’s not my fault you gave the CMC a run for the money at the reception. I never knew dancing could be...” Celestia paused and took a deep breath, her eyes squeezed shut in pain. “Just promise me love, we will never ever go dancing together again.” As Celestia said dancing a scream echoed from a nearby bed. “OH GODS NO, NOT THE TWO STEP.” “NURSE!” The doctor ran over. “WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE. BRING THE SEDATIVES.” A nurse came running in followed by an earth pony filly, a unicorn filly and a pegasus filly who ran up to Twilight’s bed and hopped on it. Twilight gasped as he foreleg was jostled. “Oh my gosh Twilight, where did you learn to dance like that?” Scootaloo leaned forward until her face was touching Twilight’s. “First you were all like bobbing yer head and then everything was chaos.” Applebloom shoved Scootaloo to the side. “I didn’t know you could use a dance move to banish ponies, could you teach me how to do that? Well after Luna gets back and doesn’t kill you.” Sweetie Belle smiled and giggled. “That was pretty awesome, but Rarity isn’t gonna be real happy about the dresses.” “Girls, please calm down.” Twilight lifted them from the bed and put them on the floor beside her. “I can’t teach you, I am pretty sure Luna is going to return with a new law forbidding me from dancing. I-” The doors burst open again and Luna burst into the room, her eye’s narrowed and nostrils flared. “TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!” A flash of purple and gold light left Luan glaring at empty beds and a room full of quivering ponies. Turning away Luna grumbled to herself. “When I find you...oh when I find you, your gonna teach me how to samba like that.” She paused, and pushed open the door to the hallway. "When you return from your honeymoon you will teach me to samba like that, it could be quite a useful weapon in the future." A pony nearby turned pale and flopped over as she said samba while another turned tail and fled screaming in terror.
