Pinkie Pie's Accident

AppleJack lifted Pinkie Pie out of the cart and on her back. "Me and Twi got this. The rest ya'll head back to the party." The farm mare said.

"If you're sure darling. We'll be praying, Pinkie." Rarity said. She turned and herded the others away. They all left with heavy hearts.

Twilight lifted Pinkie using a levitations spell.

"Ah don't get why we need to bring her in for the X-ray. Us Apples usually just get 'er rapped and make em sit in bed for a while." AppleJack said.

"I would like Nurse Redheart's  opinion. Better safe than sorry." Twilight defended. "Besides, if it is broken then they can put it in a cast here."

"OW!" Pinkie's voice said as quietly as she could. It still came out rather loud. Twilight turned her attention to Pinkie Pie, her ankle was smashed against the wall.

"Oh Pinkie! I'm so sorry!" She apologized.

"It's ok, Twilight." Pinkie said through clenched teeth.

"Nurse Redheart! Pinkie's hurt!" Applejack  called to the nurse. She quickly rushed them into a room.

"What happened?!" The nurse asked.

"I was on a bounce pillow at my party and I landed on it crooked." Pinkie explained.

"Oh…Pinkie!" The nurse said. "Ouch."

"I think it might be broken, nurse." Twilight said.

"Pinkie Pie, I need you to be brave. I'm gonna have to touch your ankle and you have to answer my questions. Okay?" She said giving Pinkie an encouraging smile. Pinkie nodded and said a quick prayer. Then the pain started.

"On a scale of one to ten, what is your pain level?"

"Seven."

"Does this hurt?"

"Not really."

"How about here?"

"OW! Yes!"

"Where does it hurt the most?"

"Right here." The conversation between nurse and patient was quick but painful. The nurse occasionally touched, but She tried not to.

"Blue Cross!" Redheart yelled. A white pony entered the room. Her cutie-mark was a blue shield.

"Yes ma'am!" She said.

"I need you took get some information from Princess Twilight Sparkle while AppleJack and I go get an X-ray on Pinkie."

"Yes ma'am." She said. She began to assault the princess with insurgence questions. Pinkie was carried by her friend to a room where they gave her an X-ray. Pinkie hated the fact that they wouldn't let her move at all. They finally got what they needed an took her back to where Blue Cross had just finished. Both nurses left the room. Pinkie sat on the bed.

"Twilight!" Pinkie said.

"What?" The Alicorn asked.

"BORED!" Pinkie Pie tried to shout. Apple Jack was just too quick and tossed an apple into her mouth. The nurses returned shortly (an eternity to Pinkie) after the apple disappeared down her throat.

"Good news, Pinkie! Your ankle isn't broken! It's just sprained!" The bubbly Blue cross said.

"NOOOO!" Once again her cry was muffled by an apple.

"You need to use crutches for the next day or two, then take it easy. Don't do anything that hurts more than a three on the scale. Understand?" Nurse Redheart asked as Blue Cross rapped the ankle up. "And kelp it rapped for a while. Ice it often. I'll trust your friends to keep you inline." She finished. She handed Pinkie a set of crutches. They had slots for her fore hooves to rest in.

"Thank you, nurse." Twilight said over her shoulder as she and her two friends exited the hospital. Pinkie once again rode in the cart as the Earth Pony pulled and Twilight trotted beside.

"Worst day ever." Pinkie mumbled.

They were back at the party in ten minutes. Pinkie barely held back tears when she saw the bounce pillow. She, with the support of her friends and crutches, limped inside SugarCube Corner.

"Oh Pinkie Pie! Rarity told us and we were so worried!" The Cakes cried as they trotted to where she was sitting. Pinkie's mane and tail were deflated and her ears were flopped forward in a sad and helpless look. Her noes shook slightly.

"Sigh. My Pinkie sense says that something unexpected is going to happen." Pinkie said without looking up. Tears streamed from her eyes as the Chicken Dance started playing. She loved that song.

"We baked you a Get Well Cake! Hope you enjoy."'Mr. Cake said in an attempt to cheer her up.

"I've made a ton of these. I never thought I would end up with one." Pinkie said between sobs. Her heart was broken and nothing any pony said that night helped. The party ended and guests left with promises of prayer.
