> The filly in the woods > by HurricaneFox > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > In the forest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on slow pokes, Scootaloo yelled down to her two friends Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "Were coming!, shouted Sweetie Belle. "Yeah hold ya horses, yelled Apple Bloom. "Ugh fine, groaned Scootaloo waiting for them to catch up. Walking into the forest Apple Bloom spotted a hidden overgrown path, "Hey look at this!, she called to her friends. "What is it?, asked Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle at once. "A hidden path, ah almost missed it, Apple Bloom replied. "Really?! lets explore it, shouted Scootaloo her eyes shining with excitement. Agreeing they headed down the hidden path. > Exploring the hidden path > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cutie Mark Crusaders walked down the path backwards away from a dead animal's body, not noticing the fillie flying at top speed towards them. CRASH!!!, they all went flying in different directions. Scootaloo landed 10 hooves steeps hitting her head on a rock, Sweetie Belle landed a few meters away on her hooves unhurt, Apple Bloom landed on the ground just behind Sweetie Belle, one of her hind hooves twisted at an odd angle and the filly landed the farthest away in a tree and seemed to be unhurt but Sweetie Belle couldn't tell because she was so far away. She first went to Apple Bloom who was closer by looking at her hoof she could easily tell that it was broken. Apple Bloom had passed out from the pain. Next she cheeked on Scootaloo who was knocked out cold by a big gash on her head. Finally she went to the filly who was struggling to get down from the tree while trying not to scream out in pain, finally she landing on all her hooves like a cat. > Emergancey in the woods and meeting Animal Care > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you OK?, asked Sweetie Bell worriedly to the filly. "I think we should be more concerned about them don't you think?, she replied pointing at Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. "Oh yeah right, Sweetie Belle said sheepishly grinning at her, "My names Sweetie Belle by the way. "Mine's Animal Care, Animal Care replied grinning back. Back to the problem, them, "My village is just up ahead. Animal Care sang "ah ah ah" and a bird landed on her hooves suddenly a piece of paper and pen popped up. Animal Care then wrote... Prepare 2 beds in the hospitable coming back with 3 other fillies 1 has got a broken a hove and 1 hit her head on a rock hard. Animal Care. The bird tweeted and flue of. Animal Care turned to Sweetie Belle and said, "Come on, let's go! Sweetie Belle levitated her unconscious friends and followed Animal Care. > Animal Care's village > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Animal Care led Sweetie Belle to a very big bush."I'm confused why are at a bush?, Sweetie Belle asked Animal Care. "Just watch, Animal Care replied mysteriously. She walked towards a tree with a hole in the trunk. She put a hoof in the hole, shortly after Sweetie Belle heard a buzzing sound and the bush lifted upwards to revile a short ramp under it. At the bottom of the ramp a crowd was gathering. A doctor was at the front. "Follow me princess and your friend, he told Animal Care. Wait princess?, Sweetie Belle thought to herself uneasily. It was just then she notice Animal Care had wings and a horn, Should I bow?. As if reading her mind Animal Care said hurriedly, "You don't need to bow, come on we need to hurry before...? "Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle offered up. ..."Scootaloo bleeds to death. Finally they got to the doctor's. The doctor put stitch's in Scootaloo's head and put a bandage on her head first, then he put a cast on Apple Bloom's broken hoof. "Oh! Princess your wing is it broken?, asked the doctor worriedly. "Nah just sprained it, Animal Care replied already rapping a bandage around one of her wings. When she had done she folded her wing to her chest and rapped another bandage around her wing and body to hold it in place. "See all sorted. > Apple Bloom wakes up > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple Bloom wakes up a couple hours later to find Sweetie Belle and a unfamiliar filly at staring at her. "Oh good, she's waking up, said the filly. "Where am ah, mumbled Apple Bloom. "Your in my village, said the filly with a smile. "I'm so glade your awake Apple Bloom, you broken one of your back hooves when Animal Care flew into us all, said Sweetie Belle. Animal Care blushed. "Scootaloo got the worst of it though, said Animal Care glancing at the next bed. "Why?, What happened?, asked Apple Bloom. "Scootaloo hit her head on a rock and then the rock put a big gash on her head, replied Sweetie Belle. "Here drink this, said Animal Care shoving a teaspoon of something in her mouth. Once again her world went black. "Come on we should tell their sisters, said Sweetie Belle walking out of the room. "OK, replied Animal Care following Sweetie Belle out of the room. > Getting the mane 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Apple Jack!, Rainbow Dash! shouted Sweetie Belle skidding around the corner and bumping into the mane 6. "What's wrong sugar-cube? Where's Scootaloo and Apple Bloom? Who's this?, asked Apple Jack. "Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are hurt! and I'm Animal Care, answered Animal Care panting slightly. "What?! How?! asked Twilight Sparkle in alarm. "No time to explain, You've gotta come with us, Sweetie Belle answered. "Well what are we waiting for? Lets go!, said Pinkie Pie with a grin. "Follow us, replied Animal Care. "Were coming darlings, answered Rarity and started running after them. "Wait isn't the hospitable the other way? asked Rainbow Dash confused. "No their in my village, Animal Care replied, "under the ever-free forest. "Under it?, squeaked Flutter Shy. "Yes under it, replied Sweetie Belle with a huff and an eye role, now come on! Animal Care was already at the tree with her hoof in the hole with Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash before the others got there. The gate was already a bit open. By the time the others got there Animal Care, Rainbow dash and Apple Jack were already heading down the ramp. Finally they arrived at the doctors. "You need to be quite Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are still nocked out, a nurse was telling them. "Of course, replied Rarity. "You may go in now, the nurse told them. "Thank ya nurse, replied Apple Jack. They walked into the room. "Can you tell us what happened now?, asked Apple Jack. "Of course, replied Animal Care. Sweetie Belle and Animal Care began their story. And that's what happened, finished Sweetie Belle. "Thanks for telling us your story, Flutter Shy whispered after they finished. "I'm glade their OK, Twilight said. "So are we, answered Animal Care and Sweetie Belle, and so are we. > Apple Bloom wakes up again > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first thing Apple Bloom saw was eight pony's in the room. She noticed that Animal Care and Sweetie Belle were next to her sister and the rest of the mane six. Apple Jack noticed her first. "Apple Bloom your awake, she exclaimed. By this time the others had looked around, "Good, Animal Care said, this spell only works when the pony's awake. She started the spell... The wounds are grave, But do not fear, With this spell I hear by cast, Bone's will mend, skin will heal, Now this pony is all better. Apple Bloom felt her hoof bone mend. Animal Care took an ex-ray of her hoof and they saw her bone had mended and with that Animal Care collapsed. "Animal Care!!!, shouted Sweetie Belle in alarm. > Scootaloo's dream > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scootaloo was walking down a corridor towards a very bright light. "Mum?, Scootaloo asked confused as a familiar figure walked away from the light. "Mum!, she yelled rushing towards her mother. "But I thought you were dead! "Oh but I am dead and your nearly dead, Scootaloo's mother said smiling sadly, if you don't wake up now you'll die. "Be brave Scootaloo your dad and I are so proud. You have wonderful friends and a long life ahead of you. You'll be a great mare Scootaloo, We left you alone when we died and for that we are sorry. Goodbye Scootaloo, my sweet, sweet filly. "Bye mum, she said hugging her. Her mother hugged her back crying. Scootaloo started to walk away, looking back towards her mother she smiled and her mother turned away walking back towards the yellow glow. Letting one more tear escape she turned toward the blue glow, As the blue glow grew around her she looked back in time to see her mother disappear before the hallway faded away and all she saw was black. > Scootaloo wakes up > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first thing that Scootaloo saw was an unfamiliar mare looking at her she had a dark blue mane, one light blue and one dark blue eye with a light blue coat. "My name is Animal Care, Animal Care told her. I'm going to do a spell that only works if your awake to fix that gash on your head, Animal care told her. "OK, Scootaloo replied unsure. Animal Care started her spell... The wounds are grave, But do not fear, With this spell I hear by cast, Bones will mend and skin will heal, Now this pony is all better! "There that should do it, Animal Care said with a yawn. > Animal Care teaches Scootaloo to fly > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Close your eyes. Feel the wind go through your feathers and around your body, Animal Care instructed Scootaloo. Can you feel it? "Yeah I can feel it, Scootaloo exclaimed. "Great now flap your wings slowly, not fast!, but slowly, Animal Care told her. "OK, Scootaloo replied. She started to flap her wings slowly, soon after that the other crusaders gasped. "Now open your eyes, Animal Care told her. Scootaloo opened her eye's and gasped as she was flying a few meters off the ground. "I-I'm flying, exclaimed Scootaloo excitedly. "Next you hold out your hooves like this, Animal Care showed her what she ment. "OK, Scootaloo replied and she started forward. "Move you hooves to the direction you want to go, Animal Care told Scootaloo. With a nod Scootaloo done that and she started turning left and right, up and down. "Your doing great Scootaloo!!, now to land put your hooves down and tilt forwards a bit, Animal told at last. After Scootaloo landed Animal Care told her to keep practicing taking off and landing. Animal Care went off towards her house. > A call for help > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Animal Care felt that same felling she always felt when something wrong. Help me, a voice whispered in her head. Who is this? What's wrong?, Animal Care whispered back. My leg's trapped in between two rock. My name is Roxy" Roxy replied. Mine is Animal Care, where are you?, Animal Care replied. I'm next to a stream. I think it's called Crystal Clear Stream., Roxy told her. I know the place, Animal Care replied, I'll be right there. Thank you, Animal Care, Thanked Roxy. Your welcome Roxy, I'll see you when I get there. Bye for now Roxy, Animal Care finished. > Meeting Roxy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We need to go, Animal care told the CMC. "What? Why? asked Apple Bloom confused. "You know how my name's Animal Care? asked Animal Care. "Yeah duh, replied Scootaloo with a huffy eye roll. "Well that's what I do, Care for animals and I have this spell that let's me know when an animal needs help, answered Animal Care. "Really? That's so awesome! exclaimed Sweetie Belle in a squeaky voice. "Yes!, I'll fill the rest in on the way there. Animal Care told them. *** By the time they got to Crystal Clear Stream, The CMC had been filled in about Animal Care's mysterious power. "Roxie is that you?, Animal Care asked a deer. "Yes it's me, Roxy thought replied. > Animal Care gets her Cutie Mark > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I-I heard her talk! exclaimed Scootaloo. "So did ah! Apple Bloom replied. "Me too! added Sweetie Belle. "You did?, asked Animal Care puzzled, I don't know any pony else who can. "That means we must be special, Sweetie Belle exclaimed. "What about my leg guys? thought asked Roxy. "Oh sorry, answered Animal Care sheepishly, Sweetie Belle help me with this rock please. "OK replied Sweetie Belle who was already starting to lift half of the rock. Animal Care lifted the other half. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo pulled Roxy from out under the rock. "Thanks thought said Roxy, Ow! my leg!, she then exclaimed. "It's broken, Animal care told them already wrapping and splintering up her leg. "Your awesome at helping animals Animal Care! Sweetie Belle told her. "Yeah its properly my special talent, Animal Care said with a laugh. But it was quickly cut of as a flash light up her flank. "Animal Care you got your cutie mark! exclaimed Apple Bloom. It was a Timber Wolf with a bandage and splinter on one of its back legs, sleeping under a tree. The small group of four hugged and jumped up and down, screams of delight made Roxy laugh. > A quick goodbye > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Will you guys come back and visit? asked Animal Care. "Of course Animal Care, replied Scootaloo. The other two nodded their agreement. The group of four hugged. "See you later alligator! the four said at the same time. They all laughed. "Hurry up fillies, Pinkie Pie yelled from half way down the path. After a quick final hug the CMC ran after the main six.
