"Surround yourself with people who know your worth.
You do not need too many people to be happy, just a few REAL ones who appreciate you for exactly who you are."
Ever since Stardella had returned to the Crystal Empire after her long trip in another time period, we both have been meeting at the high school where we were together in the ninth grade and meeting in Ms. Snapple's classroom. Recently I have been in the hospital for many sudden reactions to a huge problem, a heart attack at times, my lungs stop working to where I can't catch my breath, even there for passing out on the floor. This all happened in the course of 2 weeks, leading up to this day. I hope that nothing bad happens today. I don't want to frighten any pony.
The doctors at the hospital always ran tests when I would arrive and not find anything wrong with me, which was weird. I would always have to stay over night at the hospital so then the doctors could make sure that I was 100% okay.
I was sitting in Ms. Snapple's room, waiting for her to come back from her errand, and Stardella to arrive. I sat at the desk that I had always sat on when I was in her classroom in the ninth grade. She never minded, as long as I didn't get killed or fall. The room was cold, which wasn't normal, the room always had been warm. Soon, Stardella came into the room and wrapped her hooves around me.
"I'd been hearing that you had been in the hospital a lot recently. Are you okay?" Stardella immediately asked me as she slowly let go of the embrace.
"Yeah I'm okay, the doctors have been saying that nothing was wrong and I must had just had an reaction." I answered.
Stardella looked questioningly at me, "I hope that you are okay. Where is Ms. Snapple?"
"Went to go run a quick errand here at the school. She should be back."
Stardella nodded and she followed me to the desks. Ms. Snapple soon arrived and sat at her desk. She gave a small hug to Stardella and I individually and looked at us.
"It's been a while since we had last seen each other." Ms. Snapple exclaimed.
"Ms. Snapple, it's only been a couple of weeks." Stardella informed.
"Oh, yeah. Crystal, I heard from a lot of ponies that you had been in the hospital a lot - "
"Ms. Snapple, I'm okay right now. The doctors say that it's just reactions to little things. I'm okay really." I interrupted.
"Okay." Ms. Snapple shook her head, probably getting back into focus, "How have the both of you been?"
"Eh, alright I guess. Just worried a lot about little things," Stardella answered, "OH! And I have received a promotion at my job, moving me up to the next floor, and getting more bits in a month."
"Great!"
"I've haven't been writing much due to me being in the hospital, I had written some before this, but not enough." I responded.
"Are you sure your going to be okay?" Stardella asked.
"Star! I'll be fine, don't worry."
Yeah, that's what I thought until things went completely black. I heard yelling, "Crystal! Crystal! Oh my Celestia, Crystal!"
I couldn't move, my mouth had a taste of metal, and my heart was beating a million miles per minute. My body was involuntarily shaking and moving. What was going on? I didn't know. Was I having another reaction to something? But this seemed worse than the other reactions that I had before today.
"Crystal Feather, are you okay?" a stallion's voice asked me.
I couldn't answer. My lips and voice wouldn't respond to my order.
"Some pony, call the ambulance!" the same stallion voice ordered.
Soon, things came into view, but they were blurry, so blurry, I couldn't make them out. I could see a brown color. That had to have been Ms. Snapple. Then a dark blue color, Stardella.
"What's going on? Is she okay?" Stardella's voice asked the stallion voice.
"I don't know, this is weird. I've never seen anything like it. She must have had a seizer or something, but this one is weird. Not like ones I have seen before." the stallion voice answered.
"That wasn't a seizer! I know that." Ms. Snapple's voice informed.
"Then what was it?"
Ms. Snapple's voice didn't answer. What was going on, why was I on the floor, unable to move, tasting metal, and my heart racing so fast?
