Erurph

I peeked into the school's gym. Babs was beating the shit out of punching bag over in the corner while a few ponies talked on the bleachers. I stepped in and walked slowly over. The thudding of Bab's kicks slowly grew louder as I crossed the squeaky floor. I raised my hand to greet her. "Hey Babs!"

Babs bucked her punching bag, causing somepony holding it to stumble back. "Huh?" She looked towards me. "York--"

"Heads up!"

"What?" I turned my head in time to have my feet whisked away from the ground. "Erurph" I slammed thigh first into the ground, my nose quickly followed. I splayed out against the gym floor.

"Holy shit, you okay!?"

"Man down!"

"Shit shit shit!"

"Dude got decked!"

I let out a tired groan as I laid down. A mass of hooves around me sprang to life. I lifted my head to find a sea of red below me. "Wha happened?" I held my nose to stop the bleeding. "What?"

Babs hurried into view. "York, you alright?"

I looked around. A bunch of ponies were gathered around me. "What happened?"

A pony with a yellow coat started prancing in place. "I-- I-- Fuck soccer!" She stomped her hooves. "I didn't--"

I turned my head to find a soccer ball slowly rolling away. "Soccer?"

Babs shook her head and pushed a hoof under my chest. "Come on, stand up." She dug her head under my chest and lifted me upright. "There ya go, you alright?"

I held my nose, letting go a little to keep from making a bloody plugged up mess. "Ow...ow...ow...Babs, I have a booboo."

A few ponies laughed, but Babs just wiggled between my legs. "Hold on...."

I groaned loudly. "Babs, I'm gonna bleed on you--"

"It's okay." She lifted me up and started walking through the gym.

The yellow pony ran up beside me. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to!"

I stared at her as Babs carried me towards the door. "What?"
