    It had been a rather simple and straightforward accident, but it had hurt, nonetheless.  Falling off of a scooter at full speed is no joking matter, you are bound to get a few nasty scrapes, at best.

With the combined efforts of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, I had managed to limp back to the village, where we met Twilight Sparkle.  She immediately pulled the burden out of their hooves and levitated me to her home, the new castle.

Once at the castle, she had the royal nurse care for my lighter wounds.  That part is a fairly quick treatment.  Once the superficial injuries were dealt with, she set off, going over a few medical volumes, before she set off, implementing the full force of her magic.  I guess I shouldn’t complain, right?

I could clearly hear a few snaps and pops as she worked my internal injuries over.  I just didn’t know exactly what was the full extent of my injuries, since it was hidden under the dull pain all over.  I may have had a few scrapes and bruises, but nothing to this extent.

“You are lucky your friends managed to pull you home, without maiming you in the process, Scootaloo!” she scolded me, but I took it in the stride in my current situation.

“With your help, I am not even missing a day at school.  Not that I mind going to school, since we have Cheerilee as a teacher!” I responded.

“Yeah, you are lucky you have such a good teacher.  Just as your parents are lucky, they don’t need to write a letter to excuse you from school, tomorrow!” she pondered in a milder tone.

“We sure are.  I can’t name a single foal who doesn’t love her!” I responded with a light grin.

“I think I am done.  Just be careful the coming week, just in case.  We don’t want you to have any of these injuries to reopen, would we?” she concluded.

“Thanks, Twilight.  You are the best friend and Princess we could ever have.  I think we should withdraw to the clubhouse for the evening.  Then I will be back for a full checkup, later in the week, if you don’t mind?” I responded.

“Thanks, I love teaching you Crusaders.  Even if you can be a bit foalish on occasion.  I guess the clubhouse could be a good idea, right now.  I will see you later in the week, then!” she responded.

“Bye, Twilight!” we echoed in chorus, as we left her behind on our way to the Sweet Apple Acres and our clubhouse.

“She did let you off easily!” Sweetie Belle pointed out.

“Yeah, but you were injured, she didn’t want to strain you further!” Apple Bloom countered.

“Thanks, a filly needs friends like you!” I filled in as we left the castle on our way to the promising retreat at the Sweet Apple Acres.

“Thank you.  We all need friends!” Sweetie Belle continued.

“I just noticed a strange prickling sensation in my skin!” I pointed out, half way to the orchard.

“That is strange.  After her treatment, you should not have any problems now?” Sweetie Belle pondered.

“Probably nothing.  Ignore it, for now!” Apple Bloom suggested.

“We’ll take it easy today, just as I told Twilight.  That’s why I go so slow.  I hope we have a few muffins to spare in our house!” I pointed out.

“Yeah, a muffin should do you some good!” Apple Bloom responded.

“We left a few there the other day, didn’t we?” Sweetie Belle pointed out.

“Ah reckon we did.  Aside from that, we have apples too!” Apple Bloom continued.
