"What happened?"
"I don't know! We were going on a date and–and when I came to pick him up he just collapsed! He hit his head pretty hard, and... and... A–Is he–is he going to be okay?" The nurse scribbled down what little information she could get out of Twilight, before addressing her again.
"He seems like he lost consciousness, but I can't know the full extent of the damage until we get a proper check. Until then you should wait outside." Nurse Redheart gave Twilight a reassuring smile before moving him towards the room dedicated to new patients.
"Are you sure tha–that I can't do some–something to help? Please, I feel so-so useless like this..." Her facial expression darkened as Redheart gave a slight shake of her head.
"I'm sorry Princess, but it's better if you let us do our work."
To just sit and wait was equally as painful for Twilight as to walk on a bad hoof. To not be of any use when a friend needed her was even more painful, she now knows how Rainbow Dash must have felt when she had to let Tank go. Okay, maybe not that much, but you get the idea.
Not to know if he was okay, or even what had happened, really paid its toll on Twilight. She tried to fight sleep, but it was fruitless. She was fast asleep when her friends came, having cried to sleep. It wasn't the first time, it had happened once or twice when she was younger and had lost her grandparents in a similar way. It was too much alike, not knowing what will happen nor even see them until it was too late that was.
She would not sleep well by any means, thinking back at what little time she had spent with Comet, them times she might never be able to spend with him. She didn't notice her friends quietly approach and sitting next to her, as she had entered the Dreamscope.
"I hope he's going to be okay..." Fluttershy was the first to speak after hearing what Redheart had told them.
"We all do, Sugarcube, but for now Twi might need our support, Y'all." Applejack was uncertain if she was trying to comfort the others or herself.
"It's truly a shame that it had to happen on such a special day, of all days. Just that it happened is bad, but this was going to be a special night for her, for both of them." Her facial expression flickered at the thought of the earlier events but was quickly sour again.
"I should have been there for them! I hate it when I can't do anything!"
"Don't be so sad, Dashie. You couldn't have known. We all know that you would have helped if you could."
"Pinkie's right, we can't beat 'round the bushes 'bout things we can't change and start doing what we can!"
"But what can we do!? We barely know what happened, more than what Nurse Redheart told us, and that was really vague! He's in a coma! If he ever wakes up he probably won't remember a thing!" Nopony knew how to answer her. She did have a point, even if they didn't want it to be true.
Why did this have to happen? Everything was going so good, we were going to go out and what happens, he's knocked unconscious! What if it doesn't make it? What if I never get to know him? He said that he had a sister, what about her? Their parents? I don't know them or who they are! I barley know Comet! Really, what do I know! Nothing! And I might never do... I really hope he's going to be okay...
Twilight did by no means sleep well, she couldn't stop thinking about everything that could have been and how everything had turned out. She woke up in the hospital with her friends sleeping next to her. Everypony had come to be there for her. She thought back to the previous day and everything Comet had said and done. He was kind of cute when he didn't know what to say like when I teased him and during breakfast. What was it he was mumbling about, I couldn't understand it, but I'm sure I've heard it before... Heh, probably just something unintelligent. Oh, and when he was going to ask me out, he wasn't even able to say a single word, and still he had gone through with it and gotten some flowers that had looked really expensive when he bearly had any money. I actually feel kind of bad for him now that I think about it. He got one of the most expensive flowers, even went through and enchanted one to not wither, even as far as to put a temporary enchantment on my mane, even if it's gone now... And all that just for me, somepony he barely knew! And what did I do? Nothing!
"Hey, Twilight, you awake?" It was Rainbow Dash who broke the silence.
"Wha–Oh, yeah. How long have you guys been awake?" During the time Twilight had been thinking for herself the others had woken up.
"Pretty much fifteen minutes." It took a while for Twilight to proses what Rainbow had said have I really been thinking so long...
"Rainbow Dash! You don't have to be so rude about it!"
"What? She asked. What should I have done, lied?" Twilight could just roll her eyes at Rainbow and Raritys fight.
"Gals, Comet's 'n a coma and all ya can do is fight?"
"Wait, he's in a coma!?" They sheared uneasy looks before Fluttershy spoke up.
"Oh my, didn't the doctors tell you?"
"Darling, what do you know?" Twilight lowered her head before answering.
"Nothing..."
