The Call Of The Night
Chapter 2: Hospital Visit
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe morning after she did her deliveries and helped Applejack with Flutterhsy's help Twilight was suffering from a slight headache. Her number 1 assistant made her a special breakfast, some pancakes with chocolate syrup while constantly repeating that food is always the best medicine. She thought that was silly so she took some pills to help make the terrible headache go away, but Spike did not know that so he just smiled with the 'told you so' grin when the pain went away not knowing about the little medicine that she took. Twilight wasn't particularly amused by what he thought was his victory as she had way too much to think about at the moment, but she didn't want to hurt his feeling because she knew he meant well.
She finished the delicious breakfast she was given and decided that she would go and see the doctor about her headache.
It's probably nothing but I should make sure I am not sick, better safe than sorry after all. she thought, wanting to be able to make a schedule right away if she was sick, being organized was important to her after all. She closed the door and went towards the Ponyville hospital for a checkup, which she had to do soon anyways.
On the twenty-third this month if my calendar is correct. she smiled at her thought and how much simpler things were because of her organized nature.
While she was walking through the town she saw Berry Punch, who had a bandaged hoof. At that moment Twilight had an idea in her head: Well I could ask her if she is planing on visiting the hospital, at least I will have someone to talk to on the way, maybe my time time will pass quicker and the hospital won't be as boring as it can be when you are alone there for a checkup.
"Hi Berry why is your hoof bandaged?" Twilight asked.
"Oh hello there Twilight." answered Berry Punch. "Just a drunk stallion who thought he was too good to pay up, I swear that there should be a law limiting how much alcohol a pony can be served at a bar."
Twilight felt sad for Berry Punch, running a bar can be dangerous at times, especially when there is a celebration in town and lots of ponies go to have a bit of fun in the bars at night and while drunk, they just can't think clearly and do something stupid to themselves or others. That was only a small part of night life because most are smart enough to be careful and have a good time. "Are you planning on visiting the hospital by any chance? I am on my way now and could use some company." she asked her with hope that she would say yes.
"Actually I was thinking to go later today but it would be so much more fun with somepony else to talk to." Berry said smiling at Twilight. Great! This will be easier now and I can catch up with her a bit. We haven't talked much recently.
Twilight thought happily.
"Great! we can catch up a bit while we walk if you want." said Twilight and Berry answered to her with a question of her own: "I'd like that, we have not been talking recently.
So Twilight tell me, what got you so occupied that you were in that library of yours for so long.".
Twilight thought for a second, as the question reminded her that she has been spending more time in the comfort and silence of her home than usual. Well I have been busy with my research on the whole event with the Flutterbat incident, as Rarity called it and besides it is so nice in there.
"Oh you know, just research." she said.
"Oh Twilight that's just like you isn't it, always working on a project." Berry teased a bit and Twilight blushed to her comment.
"Well I am just looking into things." she tried to excuse herself but she found a way to escape further embarrassment as they reached the hospital.
"Oh we are here already here, time sure flies when you're talking." she said trying to change the topic but to no avail as Berry Punch was still grinning devilishly.
"Yes, yes it does Twilight." was the only thing she said before they reached multiple doors leading into different wings of the hospital.
"Well i guess this is where we split, I am going to the neurology wing to try to fix the headache I've been having and I am positive you are just here for the doctors to take a look at your wound, I wish you luck Berry." Twilight said before turning to the door.
"Thanks I wish you luck too." Berry said and waved goodbye to Twilight who waved back.

So off to finally fix this horrible headache! thought Twilight frustrated that she was behind on her schedule and wasting precious time to something that might be just a fake concern. She reached doctor Neuron's door and as there was nobody waiting, she knocked on the door. "Come in." she heard the doctor saying.
She opened the door and greeted the doctor: "hello doctor Neuron I was hoping you could fix a problem I've been having the last couple of days."
To that doctor Neuron chuckled and said: "Well of course Twilight that is my job after all.". He leaned back on his chair and asked: "So tell me miss Sparkle, what is the problem?".
"Well I've been having a terrible headache for the couple of days and it is really getting in the way in my research". she answered the question.
Doctor Neuron put on a more serious face and said: "I see, well I will perform a simple scanning spell so we can see what is happening with that big brain of yours.".
Twilight blushed a bit at the compliment an answered: "Okay doctor let's do it."
"Okay, this won't hurt a bit." the doctor said and started the spell.
After a couple of seconds the spell finished and the doctor smiled and said: "Well Twilight you definitely showing some sings of a slight problem , but don't worry you are only exhausted. You need a break from work and a good night's rest."
Twilight smiled a bit, relieved that she wasn't sick and answered grinning: "Ok doctor I will and thank you very muchfor your help."
"I am just doing my job Twilight." he smiled. These sort of things made him happy to be a doctor.
