//------------------------------// // The Big Trip // Story: Continuing the Dream // by Blue Breeze //------------------------------// Author's Note: Well, now the story's hit 4000 words! Huzzah! I think it's time to celebrate with something big! For anyone who checks the comments, you'd know that I've been planning a big story arc for a while now. Well, here's where it begins. Be expecting LOLs, shenanigans, fights, attempted rape, and swag. This will be the biggest thing to hit this story yet, and I'm very excited about it. But enough of my babbling, on with the story! The next morning, Hail gets up out of bed and stretches. Yep, definitely my sister. Neither of us are morning ponies. She walks out into the hall and downstairs to meet up with thr guys, all having breakfast. "Morning, guys." she says. "Hey, Hail." Zeph says. "So, what are you guys doing today?" "Eh, we all gotta go to work, and without Blue there to help, it gives more to do." Drax says. "Oh, so you both work with Blue doing weather?" they nod. She looks over to Ice. "What about you, Ice? Blue said he helped you get a job here in town at the cafe." "Yeah, he did. I just spend most of the day working there." he answers. "That's cool. I'm just going to go see Blue. See you guys later" she then walks off and back up the stairs. She goes back into my room. "I think Blue will like this. Hehehe." she says to herself. After grabbing something, she heads back down and heads out the door. As she walks through Ponyville, she looks with a sad face at all the property that happened to get destroyed the other day. Many ponies had to leave their homes and close their stores, but hey, that's what the taxes are for. It'll be fixed up in no time. She walks for a bit before coming to the hospital and going to the front desk to check in as a visitor. So tedious in my opinion. She gets in the elevator and takes it to my room on the third floor. She gets out as it stops and walks over to find my room. "Hey, Bluey." she says as she walks in. "Hey, Haily. So, how's my little sis doing today?" I respond. "I'm fine. But the better question is: How are you doing?" "Eh, can't complain. Bandages are uncomfortable, but at least I'm not in pain." "That's good to hear. I actually brought you something." "Really? What is it?" She reaches into her saddlebags and pulls out some magazines. "These." Oh my Celestia! "You looked in my drawer?!" "Yep." she answers. "Come on, it's not such a big deal." I facehoof. "Okay, just don't tell anypony I have these." She giggles at me. "Sure thing." I take the magazines and set them aside. "So, any particular reason you stopped by?" "Can't a sister just come visit her hurt brother? Besides everyone else is busy working." "Yeah, and with what happened, ponies are starting to stress out." "I noticed that. I just hope everypony will be okay." This actually makes me think of something I've wanted to do for a while. "Haily, can you go get everypony else? I have an idea." "Um, okay, if you say so." she leaves out the door and goes to ge everypony. This is should be good. I reach over to the side and grab a magazine. "Oh, hello." I open it up and start "reading" it. Just then, a nurse comes into my room. "Hello, Mr. Breeze." I quickly get rid of the magazine in a panic. "I wasn't looking at porn!" She looks at me for a moment and blinks. "Okay... Well, it's time for your sponge bath." "You're going to scrub me down? Alright!" I'm a bit of a perv. Sue me. She rolls her eyes at me. "No, Hugo will be doing that." she motions to the door. "Hugo?" A loud stomping comes from the hallway as a large and burly stallion walks into the room. "Time for bath." he says. My eyes go wide. Celestia give me strength. Later... That guy could've been more gentle. Hail returns to my room with everypony following behind her. "I'm back, and I got everyone." "Good, now we can get started." I say. "Started with what, Blue?" Dash asks. "Yeah, I'm losing my lunch break right now." Ice says. "First of all, it's my job to be the smart flank, Ice." everypony laughs at my joke. "And second, I had a great idea." "Oh no." Zephyr says. "Anyways... Everypony around here has been doing a lot of work, and due to recent events, has been getting stressed out." they all nod. "So, since I get out of here tomorrow, I thought it would be an awesome idea if we all went to Las Pegasus on vacation in two days!" "WHAT?!" they all shout. "That sounds awesome, Blue!" Hail says in excitement. "Las Pegasus?! That sounds awesome! I'm in!" Vinyl shouts. "Vinyl, what about the club?!" Octavia asks. "Don't sweat it, Octy. I've got a bud that can totally cover for me. It'll be awesome!" Zephyr puts a sholder around Octavia. "Yeah, Tavi. Sounds really fun to me." "Well, if both of you want to go, I suppose." she says while smiling at them both. "Wait, what about the weather?! We can't just leave Sunny hanging!" Dash shouts. "Oh, I know!" Pinkie shouts. "I've got some pegasus friends that can cover for you all! I can go too! The Cakes have been wanting me to go on vacation for a while anyway." "Well, I guess that could work." "See, Dash? No problem." I say. "So, how about everypony else?" "I'm up for it." Vine says. "As am I. I've been there before while modeling, and it is splendid." Fleur says. "I'm sure I could ask Bon Bon if it's cool. I did help save the town after all." Ice says. "I could use this as a chance to spread around my work." Rarity says to herself. "I'd be delighted." Spitfire leans up against Drax with a smile. "What do you think, Drax?" "Sounds fun to me." he says. "Hmm, it does sound pretty exciting." Dark says. "How about you, Twi?" Twilight puts a hoof to her chin. "Well, Spike is off on royal business. I'm sure he won't be back for a bit. It's not like the library gets a lot of visitors anyway. At the library A pony stands outside the front door with a scowl. "How come no one's ever here when I come to get a book?!" Back here "I'll go, if that's okay with you all." Fluttershy says. "And ah'm good to go too. Business has been kinda slow. I'm sure Big Mac can handle it on his own." Applejack says. "Then it's settled." I say. "Everypony, pack up all your bags. We're going to Las Pegasus!" Everypony cheers in celebration only for a nurse to come in a shush us all. Killjoy The next day It was late in the after as I was ready to finally leave the hospital. A unicorn stallion doctor walks into my room as I lay in bed. "Well, today's the day. Ready to be going, Mr. Breeze?" "You bet, doc." I get out of bed and take off the gown. The doctor(not the other one) uses his magic to remove the bandages around my chest. "Now, you just take it easy for a few days, alright?" "You got it, doc." I'm such a liar. I make way out of the hospital(don't worry, I didn't forget the magazines) and take a deep breath as I get outside. "Ah, the sweet smell of freedom. There's nothing like it." I open up my wings and start flying towards home. I arrive back and open the door. "You guys miss me?" "Blue!" everpony shouts. Hail rushes up and hugs me around the neck. "Great to have you back, big bro." I return the hug and look at her. "It's great to be back." we break the hug and I look at them. "So, you guys get packed up?" they all nod in response. "Yep, everything's all set for tomorrow." "Great. Well, I'm getting a bit tired, so I think I'm gonna go hit the hay." "Me too." Hail says. Hail and I both go upstairs and get in my room. I go put the magazines back into my drawers. I think I'll put these under the mattress later. I climb into bed a get comfortable. "Wait, now that you're back, where do I sleep?" Hail asks me. "We can share the bed. I don't mind." I move over a bit to make some room for her. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, it's cool. We're brother and sister, it's not weird." She giggles and jumps into bed right next to me. We both get under the covers and try to start sleeping. "I really missed you, Blue." Hail says quietly. I turn over and put a wing over her. "I missed you too, Haily. Now get some sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day." "Okay." she closes her eyes and gently falls to sleep.
