The Empty Room
Chapter twelve: The Empty Room
In the rays of dull sunlight shining down onto the gravel of Ponyville’s streets, Twilight Sparkle trotted ever onwards toward the hospital.
This was an interesting day for the unicorn. For it was the day that Rainbow Dash would be coming home with her, and she was rather excited about it. She could imagine that Rainbow was excited to get out of the cramped room, and Twilight would be happy to see her friend on a regular basis again. Not only that, but she was anxious to have some company. After moving to Ponyville, she had become more open, and valued the company of other ponies. But, she still enjoyed some solitude with a good book from time to time. Spike was out doing his own thing most days, and ponies coming to the library were becoming scarce. That was probably because summertime was quickly approaching. Ponies were out and about having fun, and the last thing that they probably wanted to do was stay cooped up indoors with a book. How ponies managed to do this was beyond Twilight’s range of understanding, and that was quite a feat. Even though she loved her friends, she loved books too, and the thought of reading one on a warm summer day was all too pleasant for her. But, some ponies just thought differently.
After finding the book Rarity had requested, she stayed up all night to read it, in the hopes of becoming well-versed in pegasus wings. Luckily, the book had done its job quite well. Twilight now knew how she was going to help Rainbow Dash, and now she just needed to pull it off.
Another thing the book had mentioned was, to her surprise, blind pegasi.
“If a pegasus should become blind due to an unfortunate incident, then be warned that individual may become reclusive, distant, and antisocial, especially if flying was a major part of that pony’s life.”
Gee, book. Thanks for stating something that she already knew.
“However, the various methods listed in this book will explain how to help that pony deal with their disability, and even, to an extent, regain their ability to fly.”
And explain it did. From air currents to feathers, that book had it all. But, to the books credit, it had done her a huge amount of good, much to her relief. Rarity was right, this book would help Rainbow Dash, that Twilight was sure of. It was almost like an experiment. Except there was one inconsistent variable within the equation.
Rainbow Dash.
Would Rainbow Dash cooperate? Would the methods mentioned in the book even work? What if it was all just a bunch of lies? Well, it probably wouldn’t be published if it was, but still. There was no guarantee, but she had to try.
The time seemed to fly by as she quickly trotted into the hospital through the front doors. It was the same old sight to her as she walked in, the same old desk at the front of the room, the same old chairs lined up against the sides, there was really nothing interesting about the dreary room at all. The only thing that even held her attention was the different ponies that would come in day after day to visit their loved ones. Much like she was doing.
Today there were only four ponies in the waiting room. Three looked like they were there together, and one was slightly off to the side, kicking his back hooves under the chair he was seated in and looking bored out of his mind. Twilight couldn’t blame him. Hospitals weren’t really interesting places.
Barely sparing a glance at her fellow hospital-goers, she strode over to the desk at the front of the room. There was some pony other than Nurse Redheart seated at the comfy-looking chair today. That wasn’t all that surprising though. Many nurses rotated shifts when they were waiting that dreadfully long week for Rainbow Dash to wake up, so she was used to it, although she was reluctant to admit it. She had had enough hospital visits to last a lifetime and beyond.
The replacement was a bored looking earth pony who had her head stuck in some files. Twilight wasn’t very impressed by the nurse. In her opinion, whatever pony that was at the desk should at least pretend to be interested in their work, but she could imagine that working at a hospital took a toll on any pony’s sense of excitement.
“Excuse me?” she called out once she had reached the desk.
The young nurse barely spared her a glance. “Yes? What can I do for you?”
“I’m here to pick up some pony,” she answered.
Now the nurse looked up at her.
The look was uncomfortable, but Twilight acted like she barely noticed. She was here for Rainbow Dash’s sake. But, no matter how many times she told herself that, it was hard to avoid the chill running down her spine as the unnamed nurse glared at her, investigating her. It felt like the nurse was making sure she was worthy for a gladiator battle, or something like that.
“Name.”
“Pardon?”
“I need your name.”
“Oh. Sorry.” The look the nurse gave Twilight was not that of an amused pony. Deciding she should make it easier on both of them, she began to give the answers the nurse was looking for.
“My name is Twilight Sparkle. I’m here to pick up Rainbow Dash,” she said, adding the last part in to save the nurse’s valuable time.
“Ah, yes. Redheart mentioned that you would be picking her up this morning,” the nurse said, finally smiling. However, the smile was not friendly, nor was it something Twilight liked. It was small and cynical. Twilight would be happy when it wasn’t focused on her any longer. The nurse’s head disappeared from Twilight’s vision as she began to look for something under the desk. It took her quite a while to find whatever she was looking for, because, about five minutes later, the nurse’s head returned with a piece of paper and a pen. She spat it down on the desk and looked back at Twilight.
“Sign here,” she said in a bored fashion, nudging the pen towards Twilight.
Twilight looked at it, quickly reading the paper over. “What’s it for?”
“Just legal things. It says that you accept the fact that Rainbow Dash is in your care and yadda, yadda, yadda. It’s not my job to read these things, you know,” the nurse said, curling her mouth into a distasteful snarl.
Twilight eyed the nurse cautiously. The sooner she left this mare behind, the better she would feel. To speed up that process, she took the pen in her magic and signed her name neatly on the line designated for just that. As soon as she finished, she set the pen back down onto the desk.
“Thank you,” the nurse said, rolling the pen back towards her and looking over the piece of paper carefully. She then got up out of the desk and stood up before Twilight.
“Follow me please,” she requested. She waved another nurse over, most likely to take her place at the desk. It seemed fair enough to Twilight. Wouldn’t want to leave the waiting room unattended. The main thing that confused her was why the nurse had gotten up from the desk in the first place. She already knew where her friend’s room was, and she didn’t need to be led around. She sighed in annoyance. For some reason, she was getting very irritated today. She knew that it wasn’t right, but she still felt the strong feeling anxiousness and annoyance rising up in her stomach every time something seemed off to her. Maybe it was just because she was anxious to see Rainbow Dash and wanted to speed things along. That seemed too utterly plausible.
“I know where her room is,” Twilight began, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.
“Oh, I’m sure. I’m just doing some last minute preparations so she can leave,” the nurse answered, beginning to walk down the hall leading to Rainbow Dash’s room.
Twilight’s mouth formed an ‘o’ shape. She quickly trotted forward and began to walk parallel to the nurse. The two said nothing as they walked down the hall. It wasn’t a completely awkward silence, but it was certainly uncomfortable. But, the nurse seemed rather content to not have to talk to her, and, Twilight had to admit, she did too. It was one thing to talk to a friend, but another thing to talk to a pony that she didn’t feel comfortable with. So, they kept silent.
After what seemed like an eternity, they finally reached Rainbow Dash’s room. Without hesitation, Twilight grabbed the doorknob with her magic and opened the door. The first thing she saw was, of course Rainbow Dash, but this time, the pegasus had the bandages off her eyes. Now, all that remained in her eyes was a dull, glazed-over look. Twilight’s heart fell to her stomach in sadness. It made the fact that her friend was blind even more omni-present than it had been before. The once vibrant magenta had turned dull, and the spark that had once taken up the iris and the pupil was gone. Everything about them looked dead, but she tried not to let that get to her.
“Hey, Rainbow,” she called out.
The blind pony jumped a bit in surprise, but called out, “Hey, Twilight.”
Twilight walked up to the bed touched Rainbow’s hoof lightly with her own.
“Ready to go?” she asked cheerfully.
“You have no idea,” Rainbow muttered back jokingly, her mouth forming into a weary smile.
Twilight let out a small chuckle before she heard a small groaning sound from behind her. She rolled her eyes and turned her head in the nurse’s direction. And, sure enough, there she was, tapping her front hoof and eyeing her with an evil expression.
“Well, I just have to get the doctor. I’ll be back in a minute,” the nurse said, almost skipping out of the room and shutting the door behind her.
Twilight stuck her tongue out at the open door and mimicked the nurse rudely.
“What was that all about?” Rainbow Dash asked, raising her eyebrow in confusion.
“Just some pony who needs an attitude adjustment…” Twilight muttered. But, maybe it wasn’t just the nurse who needed to lighten up. She sighed dejectedly and turned back to her friend. “So, how are you?” she asked, hoping to start a decent conversation.
“Pretty good…I’m kinda tired though,” Rainbow answered, looking down a bit. “I haven’t been sleeping all that well…” By the tone of her voice, Twilight thought that the pegasus was trying to tell her something.
“Oh? Do you want to talk about it at all?” she asked cautiously, deciding to tread lightly with this particular subject.
“Nah, I’m sure it’ll go away sooner or later,” Rainbow Dash replied, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.
Why did Twilight have a sneaking suspicion that Rainbow Dash wasn’t telling her the whole situation? However, it wouldn’t surprise her if that was indeed the case. But, she decided not to press the issue any further. She would let Rainbow tell her on her own time. For now, she could wait.
“If you’re sure,” she said simply. “So, you got those bandages off, huh?”
“Yep. Good thing too. Stupid things were driving me nuts,” the pegasus replied, seemingly happy for the change of subject.
Twilight giggled briefly and nodded, even though she knew Rainbow Dash wouldn’t be able to see the action.
“When can we get out of this place?” Rainbow asked.
“As soon as the nurse comes back,” Twilight answered.
“Well, she better hurry it up,” Rainbow groaned, leaning back into her bed and crossing her front legs over her chest in annoyance. Twilight could understand what the pegasus was feeling right about now. If she was in her friend’s position, she would be feeling the same way. Impatient and anxious to get back to the outside world again. Luckily, that would be coming very soon.
“Ah, Ms. Sparkle. Good to see you again,” a masculine voice said from across the room.
To her relief, it wasn’t the nurse that came in the room. It was the doctor that tended to Rainbow Dash the last time she was in the hospital. He walked into the room and stood beside the unicorn.
“Good to see you too,” she answered. “So, is she ready to go home?” Twilight noticed that one of Rainbow’s ears perked up when she said this, as if she was interested in something. But, it was hard to read what the blind pony was feeling just from subtle body language. Still, if anything, it was rather amusing. The pegasus’ head had been directed up at the ceiling of the room, so she couldn’t see what expression her face held. Twilight could imagine it, though. Stoic, smug, and just a bit interested. However, she was snapped out of her train of thought by the doctor’s voice.
“I believe so. Everything is looking good,” he replied, investigating Rainbow Dash once more. But, as soon as he touched her hooves…
“Hey, hooves off, buddy.”
“Quite sorry, Ms. Dash,” he apologized before turning back to Twilight. “You two can leave whenever you’re ready. Good day, and take care of yourself now, Rainbow Dash.”
“Whatever.”
The doctor snorted and gave his last goodbye to Twilight before wandering out of the room. After Twilight watched him leave, she looked back at her friend. To her surprise, Rainbow Dash was already inching herself out of the bed. With a small gasp, Twilight rushed to her friend’s side. However, just before she touched Rainbow, she stopped. This was Rainbow Dash she was looking at. Not some foal that needed a helping hoof all the time.
“Do you need any help?” she asked, backing up to her original position.
“No, I’m fine,” Rainbow Dash answered, getting out of the bed on her own. After she was on all fours, she turned her head in Twilight’s direction. “Okay, now I might need a little help.”
The unicorn chuckled and walked over to Rainbow Dash. Once she stood beside her, Rainbow Dash opened her wing and laid it against Twilight’s back. Once she felt the feathered appendage, Twilight felt a rush of…something shoot through her from the tip of her horn to the bottom of her hooves. It felt a little like electricity, but she would imagine that electricity would hurt a lot more than what she felt right now. If she had to describe it, it was like….enjoyable electricity? No, that wasn’t right either.
She shook her head and focused on helping her friend.
“Are you ready?” Twilight asked.
“Of course I am,” Rainbow Dash answered, taking a deep breath.
Without another word, they began walking quickly down the hall. Twilight could honestly say that she wasn’t surprised with how fast they were moving. It was Rainbow Dash, after all. But, she chalked it mostly up to the pegasus being excited to get out of the building she was housed in for the last week and two days. As they made their way down the hall, Twilight noticed a few ponies giving them odd looks. She assumed that Rainbow Dash noticed them as well, because she could feel the pegasus beside her tense up as they passed each judgmental stare. It was then that she realized they weren’t giving her the glares, they were giving them to Rainbow Dash. A wave of sympathy washed over her.
“Don’t worry,” she whispered to the pegasus as they reached the end of the hallway. “We’re almost there.”
A small grunt was all she got in response.
The same nurse from before gave them a sympathetic look as they passed her, much to Twilight’s surprise. She nodded in return once before finally exiting the building.
As soon as Rainbow Dash felt the fresh air on her body, she brightened up. Her mouth curled into a small smile and Twilight noticed that she had a spring in her step that wasn’t there when they were in the dreary hospital. But, it vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked curiously as they walked further down the road leading to the center of the town.
“…” The hardened expression on the pegasus’ face refused to give away any details about what exactly she was feeling at the moment. “Nothing. Can we get going now?” she asked quickly, her ears flickering about.
Twilight felt disappointed for a few seconds. But, she decided to let it go for the time being. What mattered now was getting to library. They both knew the way there by heart, so Rainbow didn’t really need to be led to there, but, as they got closer, the pegasus began to get faster. Twilight wondered why, but then she saw the way that the ponies around them stared at them. Their faces reflected shock, confusion, and pity. One emotion of which she knew Rainbow hated.
“Is she…?”
“I think she is.”
That’s when the whispers started.
“Is that why she disappeared for a week?”
“Why is she being led around?”
“Don’t stare, dear.”
“Oh, the poor thing.”
“I feel bad for her.”
Twilight felt Rainbow Dash becoming tenser and tenser as they passed through the hard wall of pity. She saw the pegasus was gritting her teeth and a few tears escaping from her tightly shut eyes. Twilight moved herself closer to the blind pegasus, almost acting like a shield, and whispered in her ear, “We’re almost at the Library.”
“I know,” Rainbow hissed, her ears flattening against her skull. Her voice sounded strained, as if it pained her just to get the words out so Twilight could hear them. And, by the sound of her voice, it was obvious to Twilight that Rainbow Dash didn’t want to talk anymore.
Abiding by her friend’s wishes, the unicorn stayed silent.
It was a relief to both of them when they finally got to the library. As soon as Twilight shut the door, Rainbow Dash snapped her wing back to its resting place and backed away from the door. A deep frown had formed on her face and Twilight could clearly tell that she had been silently crying by the moisture on the pegasus’ cheeks. This was quite a surprise to her, since Rainbow Dash rarely cried. In fact, Twilight didn’t think she had ever seen Rainbow Dash cry. If it wasn’t for this, Twilight might have thought that Rainbow Dash just didn’t have any tear ducts. But, like most things, she was proven wrong. It just went to show how deeply the little walk had hit her.
“Oh, Dash…” she said, trotting up to her ailing friend. She attempted to give her a hug, but her hooves were quickly stopped by Rainbow Dash’s own.
“I’m fine. I just got a little emotional there…sorry, that was really uncool,” Rainbow Dash blurted out, wiping her eyes with her front hooves.
“It wasn’t uncool, Rainbow. Every pony gets a little emotional sometimes,” Twilight assured. Just then, the conversation was halted by Spike waltzing into the room.
“Rainbow Dash! You’re back!” Spike cried, running up to the pegasus and hugging her front leg.
Rainbow grunted a bit as he latched onto her leg, but smiled nonetheless. “Hey, Spike,” she smiled.
“Oh man, Rainbow, I missed you so much! It was really lonely without you,” the baby dragon babbled, letting go of her leg and standing in front of her. But, his sentence stopped when he saw her eyes. His smile fell from his face and his body seemed to droop downward. “So, you really are…blind?” he asked cautiously.
Twilight felt the need to face hoof.
“Yep, I’m blind,” Rainbow sighed. She looked like she wanted to slap him, not that Twilight could blame her, though. She was in the same metaphorical boat. “But, I’m still the coolest pony in Equestria. No dumb disability is gonna change that,” she added on, puffing out her chest as she said this.
Spike didn’t look so sure of that.
“Um, Spike, could you take Rainbow Dash to her room please?” Twilight requested quickly, sensing the awkwardness in the room.
“You got me a room?” Rainbow asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
“Yeah! You should have seen her the other day, running around trying to get organized. Ordered a bed and everything,” Spike told her, much to Twilight’s dismay. Rainbow Dash blushed and smiled wearily.
“I could have just slept on the couch, ya know,” Rainbow Dash said, laughing nervously. “But, thanks, Twilight.”
“No problem, Rainbow,” Twilight answered.
“Come on, I’ll take you to it,” Spike said, putting a hand on Rainbow’s shoulder. She nodded and let her wing wrap around Spike’s back as he led her slowly to the upper floor of the Library. Twilight watched them go nervously, biting her lip as she watched them go up the stairs. She almost bit through it when Rainbow Dash tripped and was about to fall face first on the stair that she was on. Luckily, she caught herself and resumed walking, laughing the rest of the way about how she was going to hate stairs from now on. Eventually, and with a few more slips, they made their way to the upper level of the Library.
Twilight released a sigh of relief as she watched them safely go into the guest room. Well, it was Rainbow Dash’s room now, so she supposed that she couldn’t call it that anymore. But, at least it was being lived in, instead of being an empty room that annoyed her most of the time. Come to think of it, Spike had been wanting to do something with that room for a while now. Well, at least he got his wish.
With nothing else to do, Twilight walked to her desk and picked up, “Pegasus Wings And Other Things” and turned to the page she had bookmarked. It was one that described a way to help a blind individual fly by air currents. She had decided that this was the best way that she could help Rainbow fly again. It was, by far, the easiest, but it was also the one that would help Rainbow Dash most of all. Taking another look up the stairs, she sat down on her back haunches, put her face on the table and began to read.

DAmn good chapter!
A melancholy chapter, but it has the seeds of hope hidden in it as well.
Color me excited because this is AWESOME!
First! Btw greaaaat chapter!
looking forward to more
Welcome home Rainbow.
-Minty
A hint of things to come...
MORE first
Just a technicality in the last sentence.
I don't think she can read a book if her face is on a table,
This makes it hard to see the pages.
Great chapter! Can't wait to see more of this!
yay dashie is free, time for the fun stuff to start
, i hate hospitals 
Twidash!
*Cough*
Anyway, I think this is going great, and you need to keep on keeping on!
Not First!
The ships. Twilight feels them.
Yay! No more dreary hospitals, its time for sexual tension!
Twilight should get a copy of that book in whatever the Pony equivalent of Braille is.
Oh, and teach Rainbow the pony-equivalent to Braille as well.
Well, now that she's out of the hospital, the story can actually begin! Maybe it's just me, but I feel this story has had really, really slow pacing. Your writing is pretty good otherwise, though.
However, I did notice that just as Twilight and Rainbow are leaving the hospital, when all the other ponies are giving them looks, how did Rainbow Dash know she was getting looks if she can't see them? I know you said after they left the hospital that they could hear ponies whispering, but that doesn't explain the hospital part. Just a minor oversight, I think.
Otherwise, it's a decent chapter, for one with so little actually happening.
Excellent! Though I wouldn't havve stared at Rainbow. I know that'd be an Ego blow, and then Id fear for my.life. I wanna slap the ponies who did.
1917801
I don't know if you've noticed this, but even when you can't see someone looking at you, you can, like, feel it. It's wierd xD just close your eyes and tell someone to stare at you creepily. you'll be able to tell, I guarantee it.
1917801

I look forward to the next chapter this story keeps getting more and more interesting.
Is it bad when I have nothing to say about this chapter other than it hit me in the feels...I don't think I would do well as a blind fellow.

Top tip:
If you even need to lead a blind person somewhere, offer your arm for them to hold on to.
Do not grab them (especially by the upper arm) and drag them with you.
If i ever went blind, you wold probably see me in the obituaries a week later.
Just saying.
1917765
I loled
being a pilot me going blind would mean the end of life as i know it but it would still be an intresting life
wow! this dtory gets better with every chapter!
1917821 lol that was awsome
So has twilight told scootaloo yet?
is it wrong for me to have always kinda wanted to be blind?
i know that sounds terrible but with my eyesight already terrible iv always thought it would be easier to just have it all gone yah know
in elementery middle school, i would walk around with my eyes closed, trying to "see" what it would be like, ill even do that around the house every once in a while.
plus iv always wanted the hightend sence of hearing. and touch. as a person who likes to sculpt things, i imagine that would be amazing (once i could over come the fact i couldnt actually see what i was working on of course)
I love the smell of physical therapy in the morning. Reminds me of trampolines and racing tracks.
1919033 but then you wouldnt be able to read this story...
is it wrong to say I want to be blind? anyways uh...still waiting for twidash
1919111
well no, and i wouldnt be a brony either both due to the fact i couldnt watch ponies or the fact i never would have been motivated to
but i still kinda wish i was, maybe like, tragic accident blindness like RD since being born blind would suck...though you can get the most amazing coloured eyes if you are. it should just happen after this story is completed so as i can see the beauty that is a well written twidash fic
on a side note, GREAT STORY author thank you for writing this.
Gotta ask, and it's a SMALL nitpicky thing... Why did Twilight sign the papers with her mouth instead of her magic? From what we've seen in the show, Twi writes exclusively with her magic, and her signature would thus be messed up if she used her mouth instead of her magic.
1918011
Yeah, you know how you can tell?
You told them to. In all seriousness, it just doesn't make sense. Even if you want to take into account Dash having extrasensory perception, then why didn't she use it earlier when Twilight entered the room? How did she not know Twilight was looking at her then?
just a question, would it not be possible for twilight to enchant a necklace or something to improve rainbows radar (ears and such) to aid her in the air?
why wouldn't Twillight open the door or sign the paper with her Magic?
1920518
Well, no. You can tell when someone's staring, just like you can tell you're being watched. People often get bothered by things they don't even notice. The odd sensation that something isn't right. I have an incredible lack of perception, and even I can tell if someone's staring at me.
Not everything makes sense, especially if the human mind is involved, it does all kinds of things which have no explanation.
1920906 maybe using magic all the time drains her energy or something? i mean... even though sometimes people could easily do math in their heads, people will choose to get up from their desk, walk to wherever they keep their calculators, use one, and then come back. Yea, more physical energy was expended, but they didn't expend psychological energy. maybe twi's magic is like that. Maybe sometimes she just prefers to do things the longer way just to not have to use magic all the time. Idk, this is just my own speculation.
1920518 you haven't had too many occasions in which people are all staring at you, have you? RD could probably tell by the subtle things like hearing the ponys breathing and talking, which would indicate to her which direction they were facing, and if EVERYONE was facing her, she would know some were likely staring. Again, just my own speculation... but it seems plausible to me.
1919140 I know that feel bro. I wouldn't want to be blind as i am in real life... HOWEVER, I would trade my real life for RD's life, despite the blindness, in a heartbeat. The real world just doesn't measure up. Equestria is awesome.
to the author... I'm really liking this story more and more each time there's a chapter update. Maybe its just me, but I think it was really cute that you added that RD's ear twitched when twilight said "home". Probably made RD feel a bit more comfortable too that Twi was considering it her new "home" vs RD being a "Guest", you know what I mean? Yea... I can tell this is gonna be good. You've got this stuff down pat. Again, I know everyone keeps complaining that it's progressing slowly, and it is, but please don't speed up. I enjoy the detail. (i'm sure others do as well) Sometimes you gotta eat that first french fry slowly.... before you scarf down all the rest. But seriously bro... you've got talent. I love this fic.
also... someone really needs to draw that "twilight leading rainbow, while her wing is over twilight" scene. I think it would make for a real d'aww moment. I would do it... except I still haven't progressed past "stick figure mode" when it comes to art. I like art, but I can't do it. Can visualize it, but can't record it.
1921294 she has used magic in multitudes over use before hand, and she didn't seem to really ever need to stop, that often, when at all. and also doesn't seem to have used any at all so far in the story.
1922724 *shrugs* who knows, then, why she did it that way.
I can't wait to read more of this, I'm loving the rainbow feels.
Things are getting goood
d22zlbw5ff7yk5.cloudfront.net/images/cm-42841-050e677f59da3c.gif
PLEASE!!!! post more quickly!! i love this story so much, it hits the feels so hard!!
fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/003/6/f/twilight_sparkle_caramelldansen_by_designjh-d5q9oqn.gif
Yay a great chapter. I feel really bad for Rainbow Dash it my feels
Welcome to the world of scholarly research using the internet at large Twilight!
Where everyone with a keyboard can post whatever they want, and Wikipedia may or may not change on a daily basis and it may or may not be accurate!
The internet: faster to search than a library, but every fact must be givin a judgement call as to its validity.
put her face on the table and began to read.
huh?
1933734 probably means she rested her chin on the table, while the book was propped up, (or held up by magic) and let her eyes gaze over the words
though I get why your initial reaction was confusion, the first thing I thought of was twilight face-desking, rather than simply resting her head on it
I really like this story.
=)
1917336 Thank you very much!
1917353 Indeed, my friend.
1917362 Thanks!
1917391 Actually, I think you're fourth.
Thank you!
1917394 W00t!
1917423 Indeed.
1917425 Seventh!
1917464 Haven't you ever heard of facebook?
Nope, that's suppose to be there, don't worry.
1917475 Thank you very much!
1917640 Finally, eh?
1917651 Twidash!
Thank you, and I'll do my best.
1917670 Yush~
1917689 Oh yes she does.
1917695 The best kind of tension!
1917765 I agree with this statement.
1917801 Yeah, I know it's slow, but with subject matter like this, I kind of have to if I want to get all the emotions right and make them realistic. But, thanks for being patient with me.
Trust me, when people look at you, you can feel it. I don't know how to explain it, you just do. It's really creepy.
Thanks again!
1917821 Ohoho~
Yeah, I dunno. Thanks!
1917964 Tell that to the curious ponies of ponyville.
1918109 Thank you very much!
1918167 I don't think it's bad. But, perhaps it's a good thing?
1918302 Thank you! I'll keep that in mind.
1918386 That would probably happen to me too. Except it would be, like, a day later.
1918592 Ouch, that would definitely not be good.
