Medical Procedures

Moments went by, if only a minute. During that time, Twilight sat amongst the papers, preparing to resume her work. Beside her stood Dr. Stables. He seemed busy like her, but Twilight still had more to do, and with every movement, she showed it. In that small minute, she'd come back to her post, grabbed what she was working on before, prepared the next set of documents for processing, and was all ready to continue with what she was doing before that mail pony interrupted her. Then, her patient's buzzer rang, startling her if only for a little while.

Since she was on the ball so much, she immediately answered Rainbow's call with, "Hello? Rainbow? Sorry if I woke you. I was just dropping off-"

"Twilight! I'm allergic to some of these flowers!" Shortly following that came a strong sneeze. "Ouch..."

Picking up on this, Dr. Stables moved out of Twilight way. She leaped from the desk and literally galloped down the hall, straight for Rainbow's room. In little time at all, she arrived out of breath, but aware. The door opened, and she hastily snatched the bouquet up with her magic. In seconds, the flowers that the mail pony had just delivered not five minutes ago was removed. The unicorn was sure to rest it away from the door, but to the side and against the wall where it would be safe.

Still, even after prepping it, never did neither Twilight or Rainbow ever notice the small, grey flower nestled amongst some kindly placed lavender. Twilight walked in, taking a deep breath as she did, and looked at Rainbow who sniffled with the sheets still hiding her nose. "Not... cool," Rainbow mumbled.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know! Spitfire brought them, and... Which flowers are you allergic to anyways?"

Twilight's question came sharp, like a sudden realization. So, Rainbow lowered the blankets, and then responded with, "Petunias, carnations, and tulips." She pointed a hoof at Twilight's direction, and voiced, "Definitely saw some tulips in there."

Twilight nodded. "Won't be forgetting that anytime soon, and sorry again... but, it was just Spitfire's way of saying sorry."

Rainbow nodded as well, but said, "Thanks anyway Twilight... If I need anything, I can call you, right?"

Twilight smiled, and before leaving, she assured Rainbow, "Of course."

Later on, she'd be regretting that, but for now, she had a bouquet to dispose of. Though, it'd be meaningless to throw something so pretty away... No; instead, Twilight decided to bring it home with her. After all, she had a perfect little windowsill that needed some form of decor.

Later that day, she'd return home with Spitfire's gift to Rainbow, and she'd quickly set it up with water and plenty of the ending day's sunlight. The blinds needed some adjusting, but that wasn't too much trouble for her. Spike even helped out with that.
