Twilight groaned as she dragged herself from bed, a coughing fit shaking her little body. She sniffled, wiping her nose on the back of her hoof and snorted hard to get rid of the yucky feeling in her nose.
Oh no! I can’t be sick...I have class with Princess Celestia! Twilight opened the trunk at the bottom of her bed and began digging through it, pulling out a scarf and hat.
Perfect! Now the Princess won’t see I’m sick! Twilight sniffled again and wrapped the scarf around her neck and muzzle before shoving the hat over her head. With only her eyes visible, she was sure no one would notice she was sick. Twilight grabbed her book and raced for the classroom where Celestia would be waiting.
Celestia watched as Twilight entered the room at a gallop, her brow furrowing. What on Equestria are you wearing Twilight? “Twilight? Is something wrong, my faithful student?”
Twilight froze and then turned to look up at Celestia, her purple eyes wide. “No-nothing, Princess!”
Celestia lifted an eyebrow. “Are you sure, Twilight? You weren’t at breakfast, and we had pancakes. Your favorite!”
Twilight squirmed a bit. “Oh.. um, I wasn’t hungry, that's all. Can we get started, please?” She climbed into her chair opening her book, sniffling quietly.
Celestia’s visible eye narrowed as her ear flicked. “Of course, Twilight, as soon as you take that scarf off. It’s too warm in the classroom for you to keep it on. Come on now.”
Twilight swallowed hard and unwrapped the scarf from her face, revealing her swollen and red nose.
Celestia sighed and walked over, placing the back of her hoof on to Twilight’s forehead and sighed. “Oh, Twilight, dear you have a fever. I’m afraid I’ll need to take you to the palace doctor.”
Twilight’s eyes squeezed tight as she recalled her last visit with. The doctor
Twilight sat on the exam table, shivering as a large stallion wearing glasses stared down at her. “Don’t worry, little filly. This won’t hurt a bit!”
Twilight’s eyes widened as lightning flashed in the background and the doctor tilted his head back laughing maniacally before picking up a giant needle in his magic and plunging it into her tiny shoulder.
“Noooooo! Please! Please! Princess, not that not the doctor! Please!” Twilight scampered under Celestia’s barrel, shivering.
“Twilight, what is it? Did something happen the last time you saw Doctor Strong Heart?” She stepped back and gently stroked Twilight’s mane as the little filly trembled.
“H-he hurt me! I don’t wanna go! Please don’t make me!” Twilight clung tightly to Celestia’s right foreleg as Celestia continued to stroke her.
“Shhh... It’s all right, Twilight. What if I go with you? Would that help?” Celestia asked softly. She smiled as she felt Twilight’s head hesitantly nod. “All right then. Can you be a big filly and walk with me? Or…” Celestia smiled softly “Would you like to ride on my back?”
“O-on your back please, pretty please?” Twilight asked, her little ears pinned back eyes swimming with tears.
Celestia gently lifted Twilight onto her back with a small burst of magic. “Of course, sweetheart.” She felt Twilight snuggle into her mane and felt her wings poof out a bit. That’s odd I haven’t felt like this since Luna was this size…
Twilight sat shaking once more on the exam table from her nightmares. This time though, Princess Celestia sat in a chair against the wall, paging through a magazine. She smiled at Twilight every now and then to reassure her that, yes, she was there.
The door opened and a friendly looking unicorn stallion walked in with a smile. “Hello, your highness, Lady Twilight, I heard we have a sick little filly. Can I get get your vitals, Lady Twilight?”
Twilight glanced up and whimpered, seeing the manic grin on the doctor’s muzzle before catching Celestia’s eye and nodding.
After several minutes Doctor Strong Heart smiled. “Just as I thought. It’s just a small cold. She’ll be right as rain in a few days but before you go, I’m afraid she does need one more thing. I’ll be right back.” He ruffled Twilight’s hair a bit before walking out.
“Please, Princess, let's go before he comes back. He’s going to hurt me again. I just know it!” Twilight trembled, reaching out with her fore legs.
Celestia walked over and covered Twilight with a giant white wing. “Now, Twilight, I’m sure he was just going to write you a prescription. You’ve had all the shots necessary to be a student at my school. Okay?”
Twilight whimpered and huddled close to Celestia. “Y-you promise?”
Celestia smiled. “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”
A small pink pony working on her parent’s rock farm stopped suddenly and beamed.
Doctor Strong Heart walked in carrying a syringe. “All right, Lady Twilight, this isn’t going to hu—Yipe!” He pulled back as Celestia snapped at him. “Princess, please, it’s for her own good!”
“Absolutely not. I am well aware of all vaccines Twilight is required to have and that is not one of them. Now I will be taking my student back to her room to tuck her in and feed her some soup. Good day, doctor!” And with that Celestia carried her sick student from the medical bay.
Doctor Strong Heart sighed as they left. “Well I tried…”
Umm...what?
6587299
Specify?
6587305 The ending makes no sense because it lacks context. He tried what? And why?
Wow that must have been one big needle if even celestia found it unexcepitbal is the doctor a sadist. It looks like deliberately tryed to tramatise her.
6587313
Is why its to be continued. There Was a reason for the vaccine. But I agree I cut it off in a bad place. Sorry
6587315
Was more Celestia being protective of Twilight then how big the needle was and... the doctor isn't a sadist Twilight is just afraid of him.
6587305
What the heck was going on with that doctor?
6587328 aahh I get it now thank you for clearing that up for me
Calling it now— Twi's got something contagious and she's going to make everyone else sick.
Cute chapter, but I require the rest of it ASAP!
6587370
He's the same doctor who treated Twilight after her flare and well shes scared of him. It was a very long and complex exam plus the vaccinations she needed to attend PCSOGU.
In other words to Twilight's four year old recollection. He is a monster. If Nightmare Moon showed up while she was with him she'd cling to NMM.
6587374
Not a problem
6587385
And...the vaccine that she didn't need? What was that about?
6587402
...Lets just say theres a GOOD reason Twilight needed that vaccine even though Celestia thought it was unnecessary.
6587375
*whistles innocently...which sounds alot like the Muppet show theme*
hint
6587407
Ah...now I see.
Celestia is going to regret not making Twilight get that shot.
6587567
Yes... yes she is.
Um... did anyone else catch that wing poof when Twilight snugled into Celestia's main? Was that a nod to Molestia, because I really hope I'm wrong about that.
6587776
Maternal instinct thats all I swear!!!
6587794
Yah, sure...
6587806
There will be no Molestia in this story. You have my word Cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye. Just... *shivers* no!
6587849
Okay, that's good to hear. I didn't expect it, so it just really cought my attention.
It was the vaccine to prevent Fanshipping Syndrome.
Now Twilight shall succumb to all manner of inexplicable sudden infatuations with ponies she'd never thought of in a romantic way and likely never would have!
Continuation:
One of Fluttershy's bullies is in the hospital room next to Twilight. After seeing the label, he realizes that the syringe contains 25% liquid DMT. He dares twilight to take it. She succumbs to peer pressure and ends up on a 72 hour binge high. While high, she solves every problem known to equestria and then accidentally creates an explosion the magnitude of a supernova in one of her experiments, killing everypony except Luna and Celestia who are condemned to fly through empty space for all eternity.
Celestia and Luna use the time to expand their consciousness and divide it into individual ponies. The dead ponies then live on in the princess' conciousnesses. And Twilight ruins everything again.
When is the rest going to be up?
6588107

National Novel Writing Month
Thats cool. I never heard about it before. Does it cost money?
6588453
Nope totally free. That's the novel i'll be writing
6588505 Awesome thank you. I've been thinking about doing a novel (non-fanfic) for a while now, and this looks like a good start.
6588566
Good luck send me a buddy request and we can encourage each other!
I'm glad that there will be a sequel because of that ending
I thought he was getting Twilight some candy, could have been a cute ending too
And now I have a mental image of a tiny Luna all snuggled-up on Celestia's back ... and it is adorable
6588033 If only it were just ponies. I'm afraid the condition is more serious than we thought!

The world must then be destroyed. There is no other way!

smallest of gripes. A Pinkie Promise is Pinkie trademarked, and Twilight didn't know what one was before meeting Pinks.
_____________
I knew it they are just like Dentists. But more eviler.
Doctors and their needles. Well, Celestia did promise Twi that there will be no more hurting, by which she meant syringes. There's other way to get medicine into the body too.
Also, the pinkie promise felt a bit out of place there... still was an amusing little addition!
just what was in that syringe and we need a chapter where celestia went on blueblood for talking about twi not being worthy being her student while twi is there
6603046
Patience, you'll find out I did leave a hint in a comment though.
momlestia is in bloom
I hope the doctor can explain to Celestia why he wanted to give her that vaccine later on.
Why does the doctor call her lady Twilight?
6610902
Nobility title as shes basically Celestia's ward being that shes a student living with her.
One oddity: People are only given vaccines when they aren't sick. There are at least two good reasons for this.
On one hand, the ending paragraphs give Celestia a chance to show protectiveness, but on the other hand, it would also have been nice to see a subversion (Twilight thinks he's bringing a needle, but he's bringing a lollipop or other treat).
Anyway, I don't have much to say about this. It was pretty good.
