Prism woke up on a hospital bed. She looked around and saw her mother asleep on the chair beside her bed. Prism was thinking about waking her up to ask about what happened when the doctor trotted in. He smiled,

"Well I see that you've waken up." Rainbow shot up and looked over to Prism. She smiled and carefully hugged Prism.

"I'm so sorry, Prism," sobbed Rainbow," I never meant for this to happen." Prim hugged her mom. She needed to stay in the hospital for tonight just in case she isn't completely stabilized.

"I brought you an arts and crafts kit to pass the time,"said Rainbow as she held a box out to Prism.

"Although I'm not going anywhere I thought that just sitting here would be boring." Rainbow nuzzled her little filly.

"Somepony here named Prism?" Rainbow pointed to Prism," special delivery from....um doesn't say." The mailpony said as he handed Prism her package. She waited until he was gone to open it. Inside was an art kit, sketch pad, a stuffed bear and a note which read:

Dear Prism,

I will pound whoever did this to you. I'm glad you're alive and can't wait for you to come back to school. I will give no clues indicating who I am. I love you.

Prism had wide eyes as she read it.

"Prism what did it say?" Prism quickly hid the note and blushed. Rainbow glared and held out her hoof. Prism sighed and hesitantly handed over the note. Rainbow read the note her eyes going wide.

"Do you know who this might be."

"No, it may be a prank, you never know." Rainbow rolled her eyes and sat down.


After everypony was asleep Prism took out her art kit and started to make a second present for her mother. She brought her sewing kit out to finish her first present. Satisfied she made some wrapping for her presents. She patterned the wrapping with lightning bolts and clouds. She wrapped the present and hid it in the stash of the get well presents she got. Drifting off to sleep she dreamt about who that present was from.


Everypony woke up to the doctor saying that Prism could go home. They smiled and got all of Prisms stuff and headed out the door. Prism felt really awkward being in a wheelchair, she was being pushed out the door by her mother, she hated not being able to walk or stand up on her own. Although she couldn't walk or stand she was still able to prank. Her parents and siblings were unaware of this and wouldn't blame her for any of the pranks that were pulled on them.

Though Midnight was suspicious he didn't argue. Prism was pushed in her wheelchair to their cloud house when Prism spotted a black tail protruding from the bushes. Not thinking of it she looked at the scenery. Her mother brought her to the patch of land under the cloud house. Rainbow picked up the small wheelchair and flew up to the cloud and landed. Prism was afraid that she would sink through the clouds, but she didn't. Her mother smiled and opened the door.

Lightning and Thunder were hoof-wrestling in the living room. When Rainbow walked in she saw them and immediately tore the two apart. Seeing Prism, they groaned as she tried to figure out how to move the wheelchair with one hoof. When she figured it out she moved forward and greeted the twins. They smiled, but Prism new it was a fake one due to the shape of the eyes and mouth. Asking about how she would be able to go upstairs, Prism got her answer when her mom told her that a charm was put on the chair making it suitable for a pegasus who lives in the clouds. Prism smiled as she tried it. Rainbow saw Cumulus glaring at the chair for some reason. Going over she patted Cumulus on the head. Sighing Cumulus went to hug Prism. She rolled over to the window and smiled, home at last. I missed this place, I can't wait to go back to school and show all my friends the new wheelchair. Prism stole a glance at the clock and realized that she had school tomorrow.

"Mama, I'm going to bed."

"Okay see you in a bit. Just gotta talk to these two about their day." Prism nodded and made her wheelchair float up the stairs. Rainbow looked over at the twins and glared.

"Why are you two always so mean to your little sister," she asked sourly

"We're nice to Cumulus," Thunder defended.

"Not Cumulus, Prism. You scare her at nights, you didn't even show up at the hospital when she was hurt, and to top it off you had no sympathy for her when she found out about her changeling powers."

"First of all, aren't siblings supposed to have fun with each other, secondly, the weather team couldn't have all of the Dash's slacking off at work and last, we already knew," Lightning defended.

"Oh really, when's her birthday?" This caught the twins off guard. Pacing they started guessing,

"April 20th."

"December 2nd."

"July 17th."

"February 27th." Rainbow face-hoofed and told them,

"April 8th." The twins blanked. Cumulus wandered down stairs and saw them. She laughed as she heard the twins voices throwing out random dates and decided to go back upstairs. Rainbow looked at them angrily and said,

"Be nicer to Prism, okay." The twins nodded. Rainbow went upstairs as she was followed shortly after by the twins.


"Okay so let's be nicer to her around mom, dad and Cumulus but not change our act when it's just her. With or without her friends." Thunder nodded at his sisters suggestion. She smiled and slowly crept out the door and gestured for her brother to follow. Looking through the hallway they stepped out and walked over to Prism's room. Lightning quietly opened the door and crept in. Thunder did the same and closed the door behind him.

Lightning went over to Prism and shook her awake. Prism woke and expected it to be Cumulus, but was surprised when she saw the twins.

"Okay we're here to make a deal okay." Prism nodded.

"Okay, we be nice to you around mom, dad and any other family including our aunts. Only catch is that we won't change our actions when you are alone or with a friend that isn't considered a cousin. Got it?" Prism thought the deal over, if she was alone they would be snotty and mean, but she is normally around other ponies so they would be nice to her most of the time.

"Deal." With that the twins walked out the door and softly closed it. Prism smiled satisfied with her choice. She hadn't thought over the one catch, she was alone at night. She went to sleep hoping that she wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night because of a prank.
