The darkness swirled around the Princess as she dodged bats, thorny bushes, bugs, and trees bent in scary ways. The Princess screamed she she saw a very scary tree shaped like a dying pony...a pony that looked just like her. The Princess began sprinting, then galloping, galloping as fast as she could, screams forming in mouth. But she couldn't scream. Everything but her legs were frozen in fright. The Princess looked around as scary sounds filled her ears. She galloped faster...and faster...and faster...and--OOF!!!
"Well, well, it is my alicorn friend, hello, Twilight Sparkle, what brings you to this bend?" Zecora's calm voice filled Twilight Sparkle's ears. Twilight calmed immediately, and looked happily at the zebra. But, the Princess realized she had ran into the zebra, and blushed a deep red. Her ears pressed against her head, embarrassed. The lavender Alicorn looked down at the ground, and she saw a beautiful blue butterfly fluttering on a purple flower. If she had taken one more step she would have squished the butterfly and the flower. Twilight giggled as the butterfly landed on her nose, and flew gracefully off. The Princess used her magic to put the flower in her hair.
"Huh? Oh! Yes! I came to receive that blue flu potion for Pinkie. Is it ready? If not, I can just-" Twilight began, but beside Zecora's hoof was a glass of a sparkly blue liquid. Twilight smiled. Zecora always seemed to have the potions ready on time, and that was a good thing; Pinkie Pie wasn't getting any better. Twilight used her magic aura to carry the potion. "Thank you so very much, Zecora!" She said, happily. The Princess flew home, instead of running through the very scary Everfree Forest again. Carrying the bottle carefully in her aura, she fluttered and landed next to Sugarcube Corner.
The Alicorn knocked quietly and carefully on the pink earth pony's door. At first, there was no reply. She knocked once more, louder this time, and heard a raspy, unwell voice call out, "Come in." Twilight opened the door silently and slipped in. Pinkie Pie was looking even more blue than she was this morning. Pinkie smiled when she saw that it was Twilight, and smiled even wider when she took notice of the potion.
"Now, Pinkie, this potion may not taste one hundred percent sweet. I've had the blue flu before, but usually medicine tastes bad, but...here you go." Pinkie opened her mouth desperately. Twilight used her magic to pour the potion into Pinkie's mouth. The Princess set the glass beside her. "How do you feel?" She asked.
