StarGazer
Chapter 4: Sick day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning, StarGazer hadn't woken up. In fact she hasn't come downstairs all morning. Discord had questioned Twilight why, but she didn't know either. Finally Discord decided to check on StarGazer. "Um... StarGazer? Are you all right?" Discord asked knocking on her door. Discord wanted to know what was wrong with his new friend. A very loud sneeze was his answer.
"I'm all right." StarGazer replied. Discord noticed that her voice sounded different. Almost as if she was sick. Discord decided to enter her room. And his suspicions were correct. StarGazer was lying in bed, an ice-pack over her head, and a thermometer in her mouth. "Oh, hi Discord. It's nice to see you." StarGazer said.
"StarGazer, listen to me. You're sick, and you must stay in bed. I will stay here and take care of you." Discord said. StarGazer looked at him uncertainly. "Is he for real?" StarGazer thought. "He's probably here to see you suffer. Probably savoring the moment that you're weak and ill." A voice said.
"Shut up." StarGazer moaned. Discord looked at her confused.
"But I didn't say anything." Discord said. StarGazer face-hoofed herself. She then took the thermometer out of her mouth, to check her temperature. It was 101.6 degrees. StarGazer groaned, followed by a cough. "Well, if we're done wasting time, maybe I can take you a nice cold bath?" Discord asked. StarGazer blushed slightly at the idea of Discord taking her a bath.
"Um... Sure. Why not?" StarGazer asked. StarGazer then took the cover off, and tried to use her magic to take off the ice-pack of her head. But alas, her magic wasn't strong enough to even do simple levitation. Discord then picked her up bridal style, and carried her to the restroom, and prepared her bath. "Thanks Discord." StarGazer said.
"No problem Star. I'll do anything for a friend in need." Discord said. StarGazer smiled and kissed his cheek like the night before. Discord then blushed, and put her in the tub. "Is it cold enough for you?" Discord asked. StarGazer smiled, and nodded. After her bath. StarGazer felt her throat get soar.
"Discord? If it's no trouble, can you get me a cup of tea with extra honey, please?" StarGazer asked. Discord nodded, and went downstairs to make her tea. Making the tea reminded him of his song Glass of Water. "Maybe if I sing her my song, she'll feel a little better." Discord thought. When Discord went back upstairs he found himself humming his song. "Uh Discord? If I may ask? What are you humming?" StarGazer asked.
"I'm singing a song I made up when I was sick." Discord said giving her the tea.
"Will you please sing it to me?" Stargazer begged. Discord smiled.
"A little glass of water please? A fresh pressed hanky, if I sneeze. Some tea with honey from the bees. Whenever you can brew it.
And while I get a little rest a teeny, tiny, small request. Some Codfish oil for my chest. Poured from a crystal cruet.
My goodnes I'm a nincompoop, because I fear I've got the croup. I need a vat of Pumpkin soup. And scarves made ou of zinia's.
Did I say zinia's? I meant silk, or something shiny of that ilk. And then I'll need some nice warm milk and pastries from Absynnia.
And since my stomach's feeling crummy, why not give my aching tummy, something soothing, something yummy, piled up with noodles.
Add a slice of homemade rye, with stacks of swiss way up high. Served with sides of Sweet Mince Pie, more Basil, I need oodles.
I'll be grateful for your charity, until the bitter end. Because I heard that tenderness is what you lend an ailing friend. Tenderness isn't that right friend, So who's ready for my big reprise?!
I'd like that glass of water please, some magic spell to cure disease. A firm geisudhoof when I sneeze, a fresh bouquet of roses.
Some lozenges will soon appease, my wheezing when I start to sneeze. A wig to keep me from the breeze, and blankets for my toses.
Take tweezers out of my valise, and then massage my knoby knees, a bowl of peas, som extra cheese, a cuddle with a perkiniese, a singing harp who's named Louise, a goat on skiis, a new trapeze, and more and more and more and more of these!
And just because I outta. Make sure I'm drinking in thr right a mount of fluids day and night. I wish I may, I wih I might. Just one little thing. Would you finally bring me that glass of water?" Discord sang. StarGazer smiled feeling the warmness from Discord make her fell better.
"That was amazing!" StarGazer shouted. Discord smiled. He then went over to her, picked her up, and kissed her on the lips. StarGazer was surprised at this action, but kissed him back passionetly.
