Stupid Hospitals

I once again awoke with a start, to once again see my body below me. This time however, it was choking the life out of the cyan pegasus that I was pretty sure I loved.

"Oh no you don't!" I yelled as I charged at my body, and prepared for the worst.

Rainbow Dash POV

Rainbow could see the fury in the pony's eye, no wait, eyes! The other one was starting to grow back.

"Hey thats cheating!" Rainbow tried to say, but couldn't due to the lack of air in her lungs.

The edges of her vision blurred as she realized how deep in shit she was. She could feel her body start to give out on her. One by one her non-vital organs began to shut down to reserve the oxygen that was left for her heart.

I'm gunna die right here aren't I? Like this...killed by the stallion of my dreams...just great...

It was then that she noticed the change in his eyes. The fury subsided and was replaced with a look of worry, fear and pain. She mostly noticed how he released enough pressure on her throat to allow her to breathe, as she greedily gulped in the scorched air. He had mouthed something...

Run.

Getting the idea she kicked the stallion off and flew to a better vantage point, for the best flier in all of Equestria did not run from a fight. As she flew she felt something hit her thigh, and all went dark.

Silver Moon POV

I had just barely managed to let her get away from my body's grasp, only to watch as my body, once again under control of the demon, shoot a poison dart at the pegasus, and hit her right in the thigh. That is probably what set me off...

I went into a rage, much more potent than before, as I dive bombed my body, completely ignoring the pain as I, almost literally, threw the demon presence out of my body and banished it into the recesses of my mind.

"RRRRRAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!" I bellowed once I was back in control of my body.

Once the adrenaline had lost its edge, I ran towards the still body of the mare of my dreams.

"Nonononononononononononooo! This can't be happening!" I yelled to anyone within earshot. "Suit give me a nanobot medi-pack!"

"But sir, based on your current injuries, if you do this you may not live." It replied in a metallic voice.

"Does it look like I care!" I yelled at it.

Suddenly a syringe formed at the tip of my hoof, it was filled with a silver liquid. I took out the poison dart and immediately injected her limp body with the tiny machines.

As I watched her slowly recover, I heard my suit say, "The poison was successfully removed from the mare's system. WARNING: Not enough nanobots to treat current injuries. WARNING: System malfunction detected. Vitals dropping..."

I was awake for long enough to see her wake up, she said something and hugged me, then I went numb and blacked out.

I woke up in a hospital, again, this time noticing the cuffs around my hooves and the restraints around my wings and torso. I took in a deep breath and checked my surroundings, searching for an exit.

"I don't know about you, but I'm tired of waking up in these stupid hospitals." A very familiar voice said.

"Mind you, this 'stupid hospital' just saved your life." Another voice said.

I looked to see a wondrous sight, a beautiful cyan pegasus outlined with the colors of the sunset, reflecting off of the pristine white walls and sheets, and she was surrounded by her friends. I sighed with relief, until I remembered the danger that everypony around me was in.

"W-what are you doing here? You must leave before it comes back!" I said to them, frantically trying to free myself of the restraints.

"Relax," The purple one, who's name was I assumed Twilight Sparkle said, "the doctors said that they sensed some kind of magical anomaly the first time they inspected you, but they assured us that it is gone now."

"If thats true," I replied, "then why am I tied to this bed?"

"Thats for your own safety." She continued. "You where in some kind of coma, and you kept thrashing around and you kept hurting yourself more."

"Sounds like a bunch of crazy egghead stuff to me." I mumbled.

The pony in the other bed laughed out loud and said, "That is just what I was thinking!"

"Now umm can you get me out of-" I was cut off as the sound of clinking metal filled the room, and my restraints fell off. "Thanks, and umm sorry for the commotion earlier, I uh...don't know what came over me." I said between nervous laughs.

"Actually we think that you do. What is this thing that might come back?" Twilight inquired.

"Twilight! Thats rude! Asking personal questions when he doesn't even know our names!" White said.

"Right of course, I'm so sorry sir, I'm Twilight Sparkle."

Nailed it! I thought as a grin escaped me.

"Rarity, at your service." White said.

"I'm Applejack, pleased-ta-meetcha." Orange continued the role call.

"I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pink continued.

Why does that sound...so familiar? I wondered as the buzzing in my head grew louder.

"H-hi, u-umm I-I'm Fluttershy." Said the yellow pegasus.

Last was the pegasus on the bed next to me.

"And I'm-" I cut her off.

"Equestria's best and most prestigious flier? Or am I at the wrong place?"

"Hehe, I like you already!" She said smugly while beaming at her friends.

Wow...her smile... I thought with awe.

Rarity noticed me staring at Rainbow and winked at me. I almost blushed, but I managed to resist it.

"Now what is your name?" Twilight asked me.

"Its...umm...uhh...Silver Moon?" I asked myself aloud.

The others noticed the uncertainty of my voice and Twilight asked, "Is that your actual name or are you just making it up on the spot?"

"Well I think its my name... I just don't quite remember-"

I was struck with a wave of painful images, almost like a really bad hangover. In the background, the vitals machines went crazy and spewed out random beeps and alarms as I clutched my head with my hooves. I saw the doctors rush in and force the five ponies, that were not in beds, out of the room. As I watched and concentrated on the room, noticing the little details, I noticed the pain start to deteriorate until my head didn't hurt at all.

"What was that?" I heard Rainbow say, over the ringing in my ears.

"I don't know," I replied, "a bunch of images flooded into my brain and it hurt like the worst hangover that I have ever had!"

"Huh thats weird. You should probably get that checked out. Hey, speaking of hangovers I know this great bar in town! You should come sometime! That is if your up for it?" She asked, challengingly.

"Aww, I don't know... I wouldn't want to show you up in your own town." I replied with a grin.

"Haha! Is that a challenge?" She asked, that spark back in her eyes.

"I don't know. Is it?" I asked her back.

"Your so on! But first we need to get out of this place and find some food, I'm starving!" She said pointing to her stomach.

"Agreed!"
