	My next visit in the hospital with the Wonderbolts is today at 10:30 in the morning.  As I wake up, I get a light headache.  I'm thankful that I can levitate, otherwise, I might still have those heavy headaches that I had when I first became a Wonderbolt.  Spitfire comes in with Soarin'. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
"Good morning Josh.  Let's get to the results."  Quick much?  "So, good news and bad news.  Bad news, it's at the point where your body is can't be restored to before you got the wings.  The sweat glands are actually causing you dehydration right now and giving you water will only make you sweat more.  And you were spot on about the arrhythmia combination.  We could've done something if dealt with earlier, but now after over a week of ton gum plants in your system, it's done enough damage that it's irreplaceable."
"And the good news?"
"Celestia and Luna are here to get Tail Flight, Wind Rust and Wiretap back into Equestria."
"Okay."  I look to the ground.  I think about who I'm going to see when I'm neither home or in Equestria.  Both my grandmothers, grandpa Fay, Sugar, Sydney, OJ, Nicole, Chester, Junior, Hammy, Speedy and even Nu-nu.  The ponies I've met in Equestria?  Isolate Mercy, Moon Dancer, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Rumble, Thunder Lane, Bulk Biceps, that one other pony, Spitfire, Lightning Streak, Soarin', Fleet Foot, Surprise, Misty Fly, Blaze, the mane 6, Spike, Tail Flight, Wind Rust, Wiretap, and even Caregiver.  That's twelve to twenty six.  It's definitely not going to be worth staying with my childhood pets and family.  But it has to be done.
I grab my UCD from the table.  I call my phone again.  Tail Flight picks up.  "Tail Flight...  Yeah... I don't need anything, but I do have results to share...  Well, my body is beyond restoration apparently...  But Celestia and Luna have decided to take you here to see me before I go...  a-are you there?...  Hello?...  Tail Flight?"  I hear sobbing in the background, which is probably Tail Flight.  Then the dial sounds loudly in my ear.  I hang up my UCD and put back on the table.  Can't imagine what Tail Flight is going through.  The thought of it makes my tear up.  I look and see Luna and Celestia.  "So many things that might be running through Tail Flight's head."  I feel a wing hug me around.  Celestia.
"I'm sure Tail Flight will meet you again at some point.  I will grab Wind Rust, Wiretap and her for you."  Celestia's horn starts to glow.  Suddenly I see a flash of light and she's gone along with Luna.
"Hey Josh.  I'll be right back.  I'll go get your shot."  Spitfire leaves the room.
All that remains in the room is Soarin' and I.  "So, must be pretty nice you have an expansive amount of friends."
"Well, most of them, I knew about.  Except for that one with the grey coat and blonde mane."
"Oh, you mean Lightning Rider?  Yeah, he'll be a senior next spring at the Wonderbolts Academy.  He's looking to be a Wonderbolt too."
"Wait.  That was Lightning Rider?"  Soarin' nods.  "I've heard about him."
"Yeah.  I can actually see some of him in ya."
"Really?  'cause that's what Rainbow Dash said."  Soarin' nods again.
While on the topic of similarities, I wonder who Sydney's counterpart in Equestria would be.
