Chapter 7 - A New Sense of Balance
by LightningStrike34

Sweetie Belle's POV
After about a few minutes had passed, I admired my work as I prodded Rainbow with a hoof, "Hey Rainbow Dash, look at what I made! Isn't it cool?"

Rainbow stared at it rubbing her fetlock under her muzzle, "Not bad kid, but it needs to be about 20% cooler, hold on a sec." She opened one of the built-in compartments as she grabbed a miniature red flag out of the drawer and put it on the middle castle I made earlier. "Aaaaand Done, now that is how you finish a sand castle. Not bad for a first attempt kid, maybe you'll have a future as an expert sculptor one day, might even be your special talent."

Gasping I looked at my flank to find... nothing, I sighed as Rainbow comforted me. "Hey kid, If getting a Cutie Mark were that easy I would've gotten mine a lot sooner, don't let something like this bring you down so easily I know you'll figure it out one day."

I pulled on her leg and hugged it as she returned the gesture and hugged me back as I said, "Thanks Rainbow Dash, I guess I needed that. Thank you."

Rainbow smiled, "Anytime Sweetie, I just know a pony like you is going to do great things one day." Looking up to the clock on the wall Rainbow groaned, "2:45? It's almost time for my work shift! What is she doing in there?"

Spike's Perspective
As I tried getting up onto my new legs I tripped and fell to the floor as I discovered my Center of Gravity had changed as I groaned in pain, "Owwwwww..."

I heard hoofsteps rushing over to me as I heard Twilight call out to me, "Spike! Are you okay? What happened?"

I responded, " I don't know! It's like my legs aren't working right."

I could hear Twilight hyperventilating as I looked up to see the pained expression on her face, "Oh no, Don't tell me your legs are broken too! Oh no no no no no no-"

I cut her off, "Twilight, I'm fine! I can feel them but I can't seem to use them right now." I sighed, "Can I ride on your back please?"

Twilight calmed down as she spoke again, "Of course Spike, with the day you've been having recently it's the least I can do." 'You have no idea.' After I finished my thought I could feel myself being lifted off of the ground as I panicked internally. 'Ohshitohshitohshitohshit.' Twilight could see the look on my face as she gave me a voice of concern, "Oh, I'm so sorry! Is my magic startling you? I can set you down and-"

My nerves were practically on fire as I replied, "N-no, I-it's f-fine, I-I just w-wasn't e-expecting it, p-please hurry up!"

As Twilight had finished setting me on her back I could hear the Unicorn Doctor speak up, "That facial injury is going to last at least for a few days or so, I recommend not touching it until it's cleared up. Have a safe and happy trip home you two."

As Twilight headed out the door and into the front entrance I heard her thank him as she called out, "Thank you, Doctor Horse."

Rainbow's POV
After glancing at the clock for 5 minutes I finally had enough, "Ok, that's it. I'm going in there right-" I was cut off as I heard the Laughter of a familiar voice as they spoke, "H-his name is Actually Doctor Horse?! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Another voice responded as I knew it was Twilight's as she said, "Yes Spike, his name is Doctor Horse. Why are you laughing?"

Spike replied, "His name is Doctor Horse," he sniggered. "And he's an ACTUAL horse, HAHAHAHA!"

I saw Twilight groan as she turned to look at him sitting on her back, "Well to be technically accurate he's a Pony, Spike, not a horse."

Spike had a confused look on his face, "A Pony? He's pretty big for a po-" I called out to Twilight and Spike as I saw Rarity behind them as well. "Hey Twilight, Spike, over here! Oh, and you too Rarity." The two of them with Spike sat on Twilight's back walked over to Sweetie Belle and I as I saw Spike staring at me intently.

"Oh, Hello Rainbow Dash," Twilight said, "Who's this little one?"

Sweetie Belle spoke up to answer her, "I'm Sweetie Belle! Rarity's little sister." She looked over to Spike as he had a nervous look on his face. "Is this Spike?" she asked, " I wasn't expecting a dragon, does he bite?"

Spike had an annoyed look on his face while Twilight spoke, "No, he doesn't bite. He's practically harmless."

Spike then looked back at me intently before speaking, "Are, are you an actual Pegasus?"

Sweetie Belle and I were both confused as I asked, "Um, Twilight? Is Spike okay?"

Rarity replied, "It's a long story Rainbow Dash, do you have time to hear it?" Looking back at the clock I could see it was 2:55 I panicked as I flew out of the hospital yelling, "Whoops, running late for weather duty, see yaaaaaaaaa!"

Spike's Perspective
Seeing the cyan colored pegasus fly away like lightning I sat there as I pondered my thoughts, 'Weather duty? Is she some kind of reporter or something? Nah that doesn't seem likely, maybe she's a stormchaser. Yeah that's probably it, with speed like that it wouldn't shock me if she was one.'

Snapping out of my thoughts I heard Twilight's voice calling out to me, "Are you ready to go Spike? We really need to finish getting everything unpacked after your little incident today."

I replied, "Y-yeah, I think I'm ready to go. You just lead the way, Twilight."

As soon as I finished speaking I could hear Rarity speaking to me as I turned my head towards her, "Please try to be more careful Spike, we all care about you very dearly and would never wish anything else bad happens to you."

I smile as my face was flushed red, "T-thank you Rarity, I'll try to remember that." And with that Twilight and I headed into town as we made the trek to her and my new home.
