Delicate
Sweetie stood shocked within the empty lobby halls as she watched Spike storm off the grounds of the hospital. Tears swelled in her eyes as his harsh words took a second impact onto her already wounded heart. She knew that she had fucked up, but all she wanted to do was make things right again. The only problem was that Spike wasn't letting her.
"Sweetiebelle!" Yelled out a fairly strong and caring kind of voice that belonged to none other than Lyvia Sounds from across the room. "Sweetiebelle look out behind you!"
Sweetiebelle turned around in a haste to see Leo stumbling over to her, "you little bitch!" he growled, "you won't get away from me that easily!" even though he was weak he managed to grab a hold of her and keep a tight grip on her furry arm.
"Get off of me, I don't want you, I want Spike!" she scowled and tried to pull her arm away.
"C'mon cutie. You're coming home with me." he pulled he along, heading for the outside.
However, before he could drag Sweetiebelle away from the safety of the hospital Leo was stopped by a seriously pissed off Lyvia. "Get your filthy hands of away from her beautiful hands!" she landed a punch into his kidney and used her other hand to hold him by the scruff of his neck. "Her fur is too pure for you to even lay eyes on, creep!"
She began to pull on his neck, tugging on his fur and slowly yanking him away from Sweetiebelle.
"OW OW OW OWWWW!!!" the griffon whimpered and tried desperately to stop the Earth Pony from ripping out his nape hair. "Lemme go, bitch!"
"Not a chance!" Lyvia replied with a sense of enjoyment in her voice. "I'm gonna put you in your place!"
"Wh...What are you going to... OWWW!... do?" he asked nervously as he was being helplessly dragged along the hospital floor.
"It's a good thing we're in a hospital, because when I'm done with you you're gonna need more than a few stitches!" she growled and with one violent pull of her arm she threw the griffon against the wall.
A few nurses around the area rushed to the two but Lyvia shot them a glare that told them that she was not to be trifled with. They slowly back off and let Lyvia do her thing in fear that they would get hurt in the process.
Lyvia smirked and spat in Leo's face, eyeing his already broken beak. "It would be a shame if you lost your beak now wouldn't it?"
The griffon gulped, "What are you gonna do to me, dammit!?"
"I'm going you make you whimper. Then I'm going to make you scream. Then I'm going to make to beg!" she replied and landed her foot into his crotch making him wince and fall to his knees and hold his groin. "I'm not done yet." she then lazily kicked his side, possibly breaking a rib or two and he fell to the floor. Yet, Lyvia had one more kick to do, she did believe in beating them when they were down, and so she slammed her foot into his abdomen, causing him to cough up even more blood than Spike mad him. The droplets landed on both her boots and the floor. Lyvia frowned.
"These boots are new dammit, do you know how hard it is to clean blood off of these?" she growled and picked the griffon up by the scruff of his shirt. He had blood dripping from his mouth and his crooked beak was laughable. "Aren't you gonna fight back, or are you too afraid to hit a girl!"
The griffon snarled at her in reply and with one of his eagle-like talons he went to slice her belly. However, he was too slow as Lyvia caught his wrist and began to twist. "Now that I made you whimper, I'm going to make you scream!"
"No! Stop!" he begged, "I... I'll leave okay. I'll leave and I won't come back... just please! Stop!" he pleaded.
Lyvia grinned and yanked his wrist, listening to a satisfying pop and a gratifying scream. "I guess I've had my fun for now," she sighed, "shame though, I was just starting to enjoy myself... but I guess you're not even worth it..." she took a step back and spat on him once more before turning around and heading back to Sweetiebelle, helping her to her feet. "You okay?" she asked and watched the nurses rush over to the whimpering griffon.
Sweetiebelle nodded, "Yeah. Thank you." she looked down, still sad about Spike but she relished in the opportunity to see Leo put in his place again.
"Where's Spike?" Lyvia wondered and she looked around curiously.
"He's gone... I fucked up." she admitted and looked away, ashamed.
Lyvia gulped and placed her hand upon her shoulder, "hey, people make mistakes. Nobody's perfect." she said, "you may have done something bad and I definitely don't think it was a goo idea to date someone else, but c'mon, you're only fifteen. Don't beat yourself up over this. It's not the end of the world and I'm sure you and Spike'll get together again, you guys are an irresistible couple that, in my opinion, are perfect for each other." she finished in hopes that her speech would cheer her friend up. "Now c'mon, Twilight wants to speak to us." She grabbed Sweetie's hand and lead her back up to Spike's old hospital room.
When in the small room again, Sweetiebelle saw Twilight, Lil' Dew and Cinder. She also noticed that the blood droplets that had littered the whiteness of the walls had been cleaned up and that the window blinds had been opened to allow the soft rays of the sun to illuminate the area.
"I've got her, Twilight." Lyvia announced as the two of them entered.
"Thank you, Lyvia. I've got some good news for each of you," the princess exclaimed. "The Headmaster at Canterlot School for Equestria's Gifted has retired and I have taken his place, as a result of that, Lyvia and Sweetiebelle, you two have been re-enrolled and Cinder..." she turned to face the light yellow girl, "you are given the chance to attend if you want."
"Is Spike re-enrolled too?" Sweetie asked.
"Yes he is... actually, where is Spike? I had heard he had woken up."
"He's a little pissed off with me at the moment.... I think he went back home but I don't know..." she looked down again.
"It's okay, Sweetie, I'll have a talk with him later. For now. I think you three should enjoy the fact that you can go back to Canterlot again. The term starts of next week."
"Thank you!" Sweetie, Lyvia and Cinder all said in unison.
It felt good. Sweetiebelle enjoyed the fact that the group wouldn't be split up, as long as Cinder decided to come along. They could go back to Canterlot and learn at a higher level again, they could become the best of the best and hopefully Twilight would bend the rules a little to allow relationships so that Sweetie would have a chance at getting Spike back again and they could live out the rest of their courtship without mistakes like this. Although, she would have a lot of work ahead of her.
At least some things were going good...
For now anyway...
