//------------------------------// // Hospi... i don't even know anymore // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// "Yay! Update again! Oh and you may take the information presnted in this chapter any way you want, but that odes not mean it's true, so on to the chapter!" Ugh my head. Wait where am I? And what is this place? And why is it completely white? “I can answer your questions human; right now you are in a coma.” What? I don’t get it. “Wait, so you are saying I’m badly wounded?” I feel fine. “Yes, when you fell from the sky you got very hurt. But that is besides the point Dave.” He knows my name? “Where are you anyway?” A poof of white smoke with black outlines appears in front of me. “AGH! You scared me!” I fly backwards. “This is only my pure form, and we are already acquainted Dave, you probably know me as ‘the nice guy’.” Uh ok? “So you are that guy? What happened to the douche?” He laughs weirdly enough considering he’s smoke. “Yes I am, what happened to him is not important. What is important is that you almost died.” I know. “I kind of know that, but how long have I been out?” “There is no way of telling; because of the fact a dream can take any amount of time.” “Dave, please wake up, we miss you, especially me.” Wait, what was that? “That was indeed Rainbow Dash, I would expect her to be alone saying that, but there is no real way of telling.” “How do I get out of here then? I don’t want to be stuck in a dream mind you.” The smoke swirls around. “Well hmmm… I really have no idea how you should get out, therefore I will just send you into a deep sleep, not the deadly kind though.” I feel my eyes shut as I fall backwards. “Dave! Come on get up! You are getting late for the big day.” Oh yeah! “Oh sorry Alex, I was in deep thought there for a minute.” He smiles. “You never were the brightest mind were you?” We both laugh at the nostalgia. “But seriously, we need to get you up there before everypony think you ran away from your own wedding, we would not want that now would we?” “Nope, but this suit is just so hard to move around in, well considering the fact that my wings are cramped back there, I would not expect much since Rarity always had trouble making clothes for me.” “You are right there. Dave, are you ready for the biggest day of your life?” “I’m more inclined for the part after though.”He smacks me and we both laugh. “She is going to be so beautiful up there you know?” Dreams do come true. “Dave, my old friend, from own experience that one mare will always look beautiful.” “You know what’s funny, Alex?” He shakes his head. “The road here has certainly been an interesting one. All those fight, has shaped me in a way, especially that Discord one considering what happened there. But there was always the bright moments in all that chaos, one of them would be the kid.” “Yeah I know what you mean, and besides, all that is over now Dave. And your kid will always be there. Now what do you think we go up there and get ready?” I walk and hug him. “I thank you for everything you have ever done for me Alex.” I stand up again and dust of my suit. “Now let’s get this thing started.” Standing here waiting has been the longest time in my life, waiting for that fateful moment where everything comes together. Looking over the room, you could see everypony I’ve ever met in Equestria and all my friends: my life has been building up to this moment. Seeing Alex standing next to me in his suit, yeah his career has been a funny one. On the other side of the altar you could see the bridesmaids, standing closest is Applejack considering they have always been the best of friends. Next to her stands her companion in crime or rather pranks Pinkie Pie, yeah I would never have guessed her to be the first one to get married but you should never judge a book by its cover, so true in this case. Behind her stands the, oh so timid Fluttershy, what’s not to like about her? Nicest mare there is. Besides her stands Twilight, heh it’s funny seeing her pregnant, I never thought she would get into a relationship that easily. And last but not least the love of my friend, Rarity, and fiancé might I add. They really are a couple with differences. I look over to the benches and on the front benches I see Rainbow’s parents, we had a rough start, but they are a really nice pair, and I am happy they are here to take care of my child. Next to then sits two of my best friends namely Chilly and Iron Forge, the latter of then taking care of Star. I look at the back of hall to see two really special people, or I don’t know what to call them really. We really started off on such a weird way, but we did become friends even though one of them is a douche. They both see me look at them and they nod and puff into smoke, yeah that still unnerves me. I am not entirely sure what made me deserve this, but considering all past events and the potential I have been shown; there are still some things that unnerve me. The music starts playing. I see the mare of my dreams running towards me. Wait? Why is she running? She comes up and hugs me. “Dave, please wake up! You can’t stay in there, please oh please just come back, if not for yourself then at least for me.” I just stand there dumbfounded. “Don’t you remember the crash at Sweet apple acres? You saved my life Dave and I will not let you leave me!” She then continues on to kiss me. “GAH!!” I wake up in a hospital bed screaming. “Oh god where am I?” “DAVE! You are alive! Thank Celestia!” Rainbow Dash comes up and hugs me. Wait where is everypony else though? “Ugh my head, how long was I out?” She continues to hold me and I hug her back. “It’s Thursday now, I woke up on the Sunday. Dave, you saved my life out there, would you not have used yourself as a shield to protect me I would have died.” I guess I did do SOMETHING good with that. I smile and fall back into the bed, sleeping. I wake up hours later and the night has laid itself over the land. I look around my room and see Dash sleeping and Alex. “Dave, I’m so happy you survived that, considering how far you fell. You are a lucky guy you know that right?” I chuckle a bit. *Hello there! I see you woke up!* Which one? *The not a douche one.* This makes no sense considering you were there on the Saturday. *The time is 1 am on the Friday now.* Oh ok, is there any way to heal me faster? I Really want to go to that date on Saturday. *I will see what I can do.* Thanks. “Dave are you there?” I shake my head a bit. “You zoned out there for a bit, and let me guess, it was him?” I nod. “What happened that night though? It was in the middle of the night right?” “You were lucky on that as well. Applejack had just gone to bed and she heard a really large sound and she investigated it and she found you two.” He points at Rainbow. “You saved her life Dave that really shows something; mind you she has been in here all the time since she woke up. She was really worried there for awhile, until earlier Thursday.” “Yeah I woke up there for a bit. And I was having a really weird dream, not weird as in WEIRD but more like it felt real.” He chuckles. “Those dreams are normal, but even so what was it about?” I feel the blood coming to my cheeks. “A weeding between me and her, and apparently we had twins.” He smiles. “Maybe it will become true someday, you never know. You should try and get some more sleep, you are still hurt after all.” “And I’m also tired which makes no sense because I’ve slept for days. Goodnight Alex.” “Goodnight Dave.” I then fall asleep again. I wake up in a white place AGAIN might I add. “Ok I know you are here; there is no need to hide from me.” And as on command the smoke appears out of nowhere. “You are very perceptive sometimes, do you know that Dave?” I nod slowly. “That’s not the point of me talking to you at least, I’ve found a way for you to heal yourself fairly quickly.” I continue to nod. “Oh and how fast would that be then.” The smoke swirls. “Quite easily actually, all you have to do is get Rainbow to kiss you without telling her.” My jaw drops. “Firstly that will be impossible and secondly why that?” The smoke somehow makes an evil grin. “Impossible? No it won’t you just have to find the tricks. And I chose that because well because I want my fun and besides I am a bit of a douche myself. Not as bad as the other guy mind you, but still a douche.” The smoke expands. “Now are you up to the task?” Well I have no choice do I? “Exactly! You are getting the point and before you say anything, I’m in your mind, remember? I can read your thoughts that way.” “Well ok, but is there some way to heal myself WITHOUT doing that. I want her to do it mind you, but I just don’t know how.” The smoke sighs, and yes it can sigh, don’t question the logic of sentient smoke. “You always were oblivious Dave, now AWAKE!” I feel myself being dragged into reality again. I feel refreshed! YAY! I wake up to see everypony in my room and I really mean EVERYPONY even Chilly, wait what is he doing next to Pinkie? No matter, though they would fit. Haha! And yes Shooting Star is in fact here and he is standing next to Twilight, what age would he be now though? Around two years? One day from that but you get what I mean. Everypony smiles. I see Twilight whispering something to Star and he then walks over to me. “H-hello Uncle Dave I’m happy that you are ok…” OH GOD SO CUTE! GAH! “So you can speak now can you? That’s nice and yeah I am feeling a lot better. And you seem like a nice little colt.” I smile and he walks back to Twilight. “He’s a bit shy isn’t he?” Twilight smiles and then nods. “Then how much time has he spent with Fluttershy?” She chuckles for a bit. “Yeah, he has been spending time with her.” Cool. “Does anypony know what kind of damages I have got? Because I don’t feel like I have an injury.” Twilight speaks up, who would have guessed? “Well, you really busted those wings of yours, you were REALLY lucky they were able to fix your spine because if they hadn’t done that well you would be paralyzed now. And your legs also took a beating but nothing serious. They said you would be able to get out of the hospital later today, lucky for you!” TOO LONG! “Boooring! I don’t want to sit around here doing nothing until later today.” “But you won’t be able to fly for at least a week.” I frown, that’s not any fun. *Too bad for you, though you just have to get her to kiss you and you will be fixed immediately, I did promise you that.* Well yeah but HOW!? “Oh… That’s not any fun… But where would I sleep though?” She smiles again. What is up with all these smiles? *You did just wake up from almost a week up sleep.* I guess that’s true. “Well you can always take the bed in the library again.” What about Star? “Then where would Star sleep? I could not take his bed, so no, I will probably not sleep at the library.” “Well ah guess y’all could sleep in the barn.” YAY! Sleep on hay! What fun! “I guess that could do.” I smile and she nods. “Now I you all don’t mind I’m still a bit tired.” Everypony chuckles for a little while. “So yeah, bye again!” I then fall asleep in a couple of minutes. *You sure do a lot of sleeping.* I am hurt! Geez. *Well if you continue to sleep then how will you get a kiss?* Please shut up, I have a plan… *Yeah, right.* I wake up later, wait what’s the time? I look at the clock to see that the time is 2pm. Not that late I guess. Now who is still here? Ok only Dashie. I then get a very weird feeling going down my spine, Is someone or rather somepony breathing on me? I look to my left and get startled by the sight. Rainbow starts to chuckle. It was freaking Shooting Star, now what is he doing here? *Sleeping, kind of obvious don’t you think?* Shut up. “Not funny Rainbow.” I say with an un-amused face. “For me it was, that was priceless.” “Though I would want to know, what is he doing here?” I hear gentle snoring coming from him. OH GOD STILL CUTE! “He wanted to stay, even though he doesn’t know you that well, I guess he just liked you. And before you even ask, Twilight left him in my care.” I nod and then stroke Star’s mane. “He is really adorable though.” We both chuckle a bit. “Yeah that sure is true.” But our conversation got interrupted by the doctor walking in. “Ah! I see you are finally awake when I got in here, considering you always slept when I got in here. Now we are ready to get you out of here, but you must remember NOT under any circumstances use your wings WHAT SO EVER. Because if you do move them, the damage they have will be a lot more permanent.” I nod in understanding. “Now would you get try and get out of the bed?” I try and get off the bed only to wobble a bit but I soon get my balance back. “Thanks for helping me doc, I really appreciate it.” “It’s my job and I really hate seeing a couple get hurt.” Both me and Dash blush at that statement. “Well, we are not really a couple.” YET! *PLOT-TWIST!* Oh yes. “You seem like one, but that’s just me.” We both get even more blood in our cheeks. I speak up to try and get off the uncomfortable situation. “OK, enough with that! Can you write me out now then?” he nods and says. “Yeah sure just follow me.” Before we go out I pick up Star. *I thought you forgot about him.* I clearly did not do that. We follow the doctor and he writes us out and we start walking. “Should we get him back to Twilight? Because he is sleeping and well I really have no idea what to do about him.” “Sounds like a plan.” We are walking towards Twilight’s library when I look down at Star and notice something. Wait! Why does he look so familiar? "Yup, you can take that anyway you want, i dont care. I found this one a bit weird but that is just me i guess. What i mean with TAKE IT ANYWAY YOU WANT is that it MAY be foreshadowing or maybe not, you don't know that now do you? That's it, that's all... WHOOP!"
