Shotsby PonyStoryChaptersTruthThe dayNight and morningConfessionTruthTwilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy walked into Nurse Redheart's office. "Oh,hi girls." said Nurse Redheart cheerfully. "Hi Redheart. We have something to ask from you." said Rarity. "I'm listening." "Why is Rainbow Dash afraid of vaccine shots? She told us to ask from you. She didn't wanted to tell us herself." "Oh, that story. Look, Rainbow Dash is so skinny and bone is very close to skin. We have to put syringe horizontally, put that make more pain. And there's one more problem. That place where we took a shot, swallows up. Everyone has this, put usually that doesn't hurt much, but story is different with Rainbow. We would stop doing that if she wouldn't need that so much. Truth is that she cries much and needs support. Everytime that vaccine time comes she had come with her mom or dad, who would hold her hoof. I know last time she was here to get a vaccine shot she had cried for whole night and couldn't sleep. I feel sorry for her, even if those shots come in every 3 years." told Redheart to 5 ponies. "That's sad." said Pinkie and sniffed. "That is. If she can she avoids getting shots." said Nurse. "Ah'm gonna support her. That's the time when she needs me the most." said Applejack. "I only hopes she comes." said Twilight. "She will. She has always come. I think she knows how important that is." smiled Redheart. "Thanks Nurse. Bye." said Rarity to white earth pony. "Bye." smiled Nurse. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Rainbow, wait up." said pink earth pony to a cyan pegasus who walked in town. "Oh, hi Pinks." said Dash with a weak smile. "Pinkie...next...time..don't...run so fast." said exhausted Twilight. Other 4 had tried to catch up with Pinkie. "heh, sorry." "Rainbow we got to know your little...syringe problem." said Rarity. "Great! Now I'm not the awesome Rainbow who can pull off Sonic Rainboom and kick dragon's nose. Now I'm Rainbow Dash who can't handle a vaccine shots. I'm a coward." "Hey...Sugarcube. Ye're not a coward. Yer fear is understandable. There is own reason, why that's so scary for ya." said Applejack and gave a kiss on Rainbow's forehead. "You will not hate me if I act like a little foal on that day?" asked Rainbow the stupidest question ever. "Of curse not. Ah still will love ya." smiled AJ. "I love ya too." "Hey. Wrong place for expressing your love." said Pinkie as she snapped 2 ponies back to the real world. "Oh yeah." The dayThat was the day. Everypony was exited. Well almost everypony. "You sure that is today?" asked Rainbow nervously from Twilight. "I'm sure. That will be over quick, I promise." "I hope so." Friends got into the line. For Rainbow's luck they were last ones. But still she was scared as hell. With every group going in, she was only more scared. "Guys, I don't want to go. I'm scared as hell." Rainbow said and shed few tears, what others noticed. "We will be there for you. And we don't make a number about, that you have your weak sides." said Pinkie comfortingly. "Thanks..." ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mane 6 were next and Rainbow was in total panic. She breathed heavily, cried a bit and shivered. Others tried to calm her down, but that didn't really worked. Only thing what worked a bit, was when Applejack hugged cyan Pegasus. She had promised to hold her hoof on this day. Then they walked inside. Nurse Redheart greeted them and smiled. "Nice To see you Rainbow. I think you want to be last one, right?" said Nurse. Rainbow nodded and whimpered. "It's going to be okay." Redheart encouraged Rainbow. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity had get their shots. Now was Pinkie's turn. "If that makes that easier for you...I'm a bit scared too." whispered Pinkie to Rainbow. But it seemed like Rainbow hadn't heard that. But nobody couldn't be mad at her. She was fighting to not fly away. And she had hold her eyes closed, to not see that what she had face. "Okay Rainbow...your turn." said Redheart. Rainbow opened her eyes and walked there. "J-just asking...I-if there isn't a-any pill I c-could take i-instead of s-shot?" asked Rainbow with shaking voice. "No...I'm sorry. Now sit down and I'll do it." said Nurse. Rainbow sobbed quietly, but would stay still. Applejack had sat next to her so Rainbow could squeeze her hoof, if in need. And she needed. When Nurse Redheart had took first syringe, Rainbow squeezed hoof as hard as she could, even if she herself didn't noticed that. She send Applejack look what said 'Save me! Like now!'. Redheart cleaned right place with alcohol and put syringe through Rainbow's skin. Rainbow gasped and if she had just finished crying, she started again. Redheart took that syringe out and started to prepare next one. "T-that...hurt." sobbed Rainbow. Nurse frowned a bit. She didn't liked to make so much pain to ponies. But she made herself deaf to Rainbow's sobbing and pain. She just did it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There was only one shot to do. Rainbow's face was soaking wet and spots where Redheart had already made a shot were a bit swallowed. Actually Rainbow didn't cared anymore, she just wanted to get out of there. Everytime was last shot the most painful and this time was no different. That had been from fillyhood. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that was over. Nurse Redheart hugged Rainbow and for her surprise she hugged back. "Again I'm sorry you had go through it. But that's going to be okay in few days." said Redheart. Dash could manage to put a very weak smile on her face, but that disappeared quickly. But tears had been stopped for now. They started to walk home. As Rainbow couldn't walk good, she hovered above other 5 heads. "I think you did great, Rainbow." said Twilight. "Thanks Twi." said Rainbow. "And I see you don't cry anymore." noticed Pinkie Pie. "It will be different at night. For now it isn't so bad, but it kills at the night." explained Rainbow. "Maybe ya could come to mah place for tonight. Then ya would have company." said Applejack. "Okay. I don't wanna be alone tonight." replied Dash. Night and morningApplejack and Rainbow Dash went to the Sweet Apple Acres. "Hi, everypony." said Applejack to her family. "Oh, hi Applejack and...Rainbow Dash." said Granny Smith. "Rainbow Dash is goin' to spend a night here." explained AJ. "But why?" asked her sister Applebloom. "Y'know today was vaccine day, Ah think ya remember. Rainbow Dash is takin' that hard and doesn't want to spend night alone." explained Applejack to her little sister. "Why is this so hard for her?" asked Applebloom. Applejack started to tell her, but Rainbow put hoof on her mouth and spoke herself. "Look Applebloom, I am so skinny as I am, so it's more painful for me, than to other ponies. And like Applejack said, I don't want to spend night alone. Because it's going far worse at night." explained Rainbow to little apple, but then frowned a bit, from the pain what her swallowed leg caused. "Uh...That isn't good, but goodnight for now." said Big Macintosh with his extremely low voice. "Night.". __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rainbow snuggled up to Applejack. Applejack could see, that Rainbow's leg gave her great pain. In a few minutes she could see those tears what came from Dashie's eyes. "Leg hurtin' so much already?" asked Applejack softly. Rainbow nodded. Applejack kissed Rainbow on her forehead. Rainbow could smile a bit, but that was smile mixed with frown. In a half an hour Dash started to sob quietly and waked up Applejack who had fell asleep. She hugged her a bit tighter, also watching that she wouldn't touch RD's left leg. "Please stop that pain." whispered Dash to Applejack. "Ssh ssh, it will be better in the mornin'." said Applejack to crying Pegasus. That crying continued until the 6 o'clock. Then she whimpered for 10 minutes and then everything went quiet. Rainbow didn't sleep, but pain was over. "I'm sleepy, but I don't get sleep." said cyan Pegasus. "Meh too." yawned Applejack. "Sorry for keeping you up all night." said Rainbow Dash shyly. "That's nothin'. Ah think few cups of coffee will fix this." said Applejack. They enjoyed each other company about 50 minutes more and then they went to kitchen. After few cups of coffee they could stay awake. "Thanks for company tonight." said Dash with a first true smile in a few days. "That's what marefriends are for." smiled Applejack Just after Applejack had finished her sentence, someone knocked on the door. Applejack went on the door. "Hi Twilight. So early today." said surprised Applejack. "Yeah, just wanted to check on Rainbow Dash." said purple Alicorn princess. "She's pretty fine, except that we both didn't slept at all. Ah could get a 5 minute nap, but that was all. And suddenly we don't get any sleep at all." said Applejack. "I hope she gets sleep tonight." Twilight hoped. "Wanna come in?" asked AJ from her friend. "Okay. I'm not in hurry." said Twilight. Twilight stepped in. "Hi, Twi." greeted happy Rainbow. She was not sleepy at all. "Hi, Dash. Great to see that you're feeling better." said Twilight. "Me too. Actually I'm feelin' great. Well, leg hurts a bit, but that's almost okay. And I can't get sleep either. Not after 3rd cup of coffee." "Great to hear." Three friends enjoyed each others company. They talked and laughed and had good time. Confession"Hey guys!" said Rainbow to her friends. "Howdy RD." "Hey." "Hello." "Hi, Darling!" "HEY, DASHIE." Then Pinkie started to giggle. "What is it Pinkie?" asked Applejack. "I don't know. Just wanted to laugh." answered pink party pony. Then all ponies laughed. Pinkie was just so random. "Oh, you know what I just remembered?" said Twilight suddenly. "What is it, Sugarcube?" asked Applejack. "That, day after tomorrow we're all getting our vaccine shots." said Twilight smiling. "Oh...yeah. Thanks for reminding." said Rarity. "That's...cool." said Rainbow quietly. "What's wrong Rainbow?" asked Fluttershy. "Nothing. Everything's cool." said Rainbow with fake confident. "Rainbow, you're almost as worst in lying as Applejack." said Twilight and gave Applejack guilty look, luckily Applejack smiled for that. "No,no. Everything's fine." Rainbow Dash said as she smiled fake again. "Rainbow." said Twilight, raising an eyebrow. "Alright! I'm afraid of shots." said Rainbow and turned her head on the side. "Oh Rainbow. There's nothing to be afraid of." said Pinkie. "Really?! A pointy stick will be put inside you. That brings pain and is totally uncool." said Rainbow angrily. "That will not bring so much pain. And you have to be protected for AIDS, flu, herpes, cholera, malaria, ebola, poliomyelitis, hemophilia, lung cancer, tuberculosis. That's not a big deal." tried Twilight to encourage her. "No big deal? No BIG deal! Twilight did you even listened yourself? I have to take ten shots in one day. One would be even okay, but TEN. You don't know how much I'm afraid of that." said Rainbow who looked like she would start crying soon. "But why Dash?" "Because it's...Better if you would ask from Nurse Redheart. It's not a story I would want to tell." said Rainbow as she soared away. "Now Ah'm feelin' bad." said Applejack, who was Rainbow's marefriend.
