The Life of Autumn Frost

“Alright Frost the nurse said that what you have is just an allergy but she doesn’t know what from. Can you tell us what you ate for lunch yesterday?” asked Twilight.

“I um, I think Fluttershy and I went out to lunch and I had a thorn-less red rose sandwich with fresh lettuce leaves. I know I am not allergic to lettuce leaves but I have never had a rose with the stem still on it,” replied Frost nervously.

“Well then that’s it,” said the nurse. “A lot of ponies are allergic to rose stems. But this is a little different because very few ponies get that sick from it. Usually it is just the hives or inflation of the neck, or just a lot of sneezing. But at least you’re here now at the hospital.”

“Yeah. Heh-heh. I will be sure to stay away from those too. Am I still able to eat rose leaves though?” asked the sticky vomit covered colt, concerned if whether his favorite food will be a hazard to him.

“Yes-yes you should be fine on being able to eat the rose leaves. Most ponies can so it would not be a problem for you if you've had them before,” replied the nurse informatively.

“Oh thank you nurse Red Heart very much for all your help. I think we should be fine now,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“Well your most certainly welcome,” replied nurse Red Heart. She walked out of the single patient room and closed the door behind her.

“So Frost. Could you do us the favor of telling us why you were so scared to see Twilight earlier?” asked Rarity.

Frost sighed and explained, “I was scared of her because I had a dream about puking my heart out of my throat while Twilight soullessly watched me. She didn’t do anything to help. She just stared at me with a blank expression. Her eyes rolled back in her head. Smiling ear to ear. Like she would just be ready to kill me at any moment. I couldn’t tell if a couple hours ago, when you all saw me run to the bathroom, were real or not so I took the extra precaution of threatening her. Twilight you understand right? I don’t ever want to hurt my friends. My friends mean the most to me.”

“I understand Frost and its okay. As long as you’re okay I am okay,” assured Twilight.

“But it’s not okay Twilight. If you didn’t react the way you did and handled the situation with such care… I might have killed one of my first friends,” Frost said surprised with even himself.

“Wow… Frost… I-I didn’t know,” Twilight replied shocked.

“Is there something wrong with me? I don’t want my only friends to live in fear of me,” stated Frost.

“We don’t know if anything is wrong with you Frost, but we will find out what it is together. Right girls!?” shouted Rainbow Dash.

“Right!” they all shouted back in unison save Fluttershy and her quiet voice.

“Thanks girls. I really appreciate all your help. I guess this is what friends are like,” Frost said. And with that he got out of the hospital bed, limped to the bathroom, lifted the toilet lid with his casted leg, and vomited again.
