Why me?
Here we go
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFinally, after all that has happened to me, I am going home! I can return to the life I once had. Oh, I can wait to be back in my own room, my parrot, my car, my nosey neighbors, my rude job, my…. you know now that I think about it. I don’t really have much waiting for me back home. No one would be looking for me since I was already going on a vacation, before I came here.
But what concern me is the way Twilight reacted to my statement of humans. She said that other ponies had tried to get to see the humans. Which only furthers the idea that ‘I don’t think I am in Kansas anymore’. (Well Dallas for me). At least Dorthey stayed being human when she went to OZ. Me? I got transform into a pony! Whoever brought me here could had at least given me wings, or a horn. Then things wouldn’t have been so bad. But NNoo I got stuck being a plain pony when others can fly or do magic. Lucky me. If I had magic maybe I wouldn’t need to rely on others as much as I do now.
Like for example; I could have save me butt from ending up in the Hospital! Needless to say, it would have been fun, but for now, I can only wait until the princess returns with her answer.
She left about an hour ago, when Nurse Red Heart came to check up on me. She informed me that I am recovering very well, however she did tell me that do to my injuries I will always walk with a limp in my step. She said that the attack had done some damage to some nerves with control my left hind leg. She did say that there is treatment for nerve damage but she didn’t recommend it on a count of to how expensive it is. I may not know what their form of currency is here, but 150,000 bits sounds expensive in any form of money. Not to mention that I am broke right now. Which reminds me, who is paying for my hospital bill anyway? I am going to have to ask her about that when she comes back. Hopefully they have some form of a payment plan.
However, before she left, gave me some pills which would to help with the healing process, but they would make me drossy. I then decided that now would be as good as any time to catch some z’s. Stretching until I heard some satisfying pops, I then relax on my bed closing my eyes for a peaceful afternoon nap.
“Hi, Jessica!” I suddenly heard out of nowhere.
This cause me to stir form my nap to see who it is. I am not sure but I think it is Pinkie Pie and Rainbow. On the count that I can only see a big pink blur and a blue bur with some other colors on it.
“Wha what do you want?” I tried to say.
“Oh, nothing too much. Just coming by to see how you are doing Jessica” said the blue one.
“Oh. that’s nice of you.”
“Occurs it is. I mean what kind of friends would we be if we didn’t.” said the pink one but she was starting to sound far way now. I wonder if I can stay up long enough to hear what else these two where planning on do. But I am fading fast.
Ten minutes later Nurse Red Heart point of view.
“Now Miss Hooves, all you need to do is take one of these pills every day for a week. And make sure you take them before you have breakfast. And you should be rid of your cold by then.” I told Derpy as I gave her some pills.
She smiles at me but she then releases a hug sneeze before she could say anything; which in turned send her out the window. It was a good thing I put her near a window. The last time this happen we lost a wall in the clinic.
“Have a good day Miss Hooves!” I called out to her as I straighten my mane form her sneeze.
Ok now, she was the last pony here. I better check up on the other patients in my wing then. It’s a good thing that there are only two ponies here. So, I don’t have to be running form one end of the hospital to the other just to see if a patient is asleep. Don’t get me wrong I love my job, but you try going back and forth between rooms all day and not enjoy a moment of peace.
“Let’s see here: room 1 empty, room 2 empty, room 3 empty, Big Mac leaving his room at room 5, roo- wait!” I then got in front of the stallion stopping him in his tracks. “And just where do you think, you are going?” he’s looking at me like I caught him with his hoof in the cookie jar.
“Uh, Home?” well at least he is honest about his intentions.
“No! You are going right back in there Mr. The last time you got your back hurt it wasn’t too bad. But now you really have done it. So, you are staying here until the doctor deems you ok to leave.”
“But”
“Enope!” I then start poking him back in his room as I continue. “Get, Back, In. There.” He looks a little scare, which I find is satisfying knowing that I can intimidate such a large stallion as Big Mac. “Before I make sure your stay here is for much longer than expected.” I finish telling him.
That did it as he made his way back into his room. Sometimes a little force can get patients to listen to you, but I try my best to avoid using it as much as possible. It is not very lady like. Well at least nothing else can…
“And then I was like Blue Berry but Raspberry is better, but then Blue Berry is also tasty. So…” I heard a voice nearby saying.
I then turned my head towards the talking pony. It seems to be coming from Jessica’s room. But that sounds like Pinkie, now why would she… Wait! What is she doing interrupting patients who are trying to get some sleep.
I then rush into the room to see Pinkie Pie talking one hundred words a minute. I can also see Rainbow Dash in here but she has ear plugs in her ears (Which she took off once seeing me). As for Jessica, thankfully she still asleep. I have no idea why these girls are here but I will not stand for this.
“Miss Pie!” I said loud enough to get her attention. “I must ask you and Miss Dash to leave. Jessica is trying to sleep right now and I don’t want you two to disturb her anymore.” Then Rainbow looks surprised for some reason.
“Wait! what? She asleep?” Rainbow said then turning to look at Jessica to see that she was indeed asleep.
“Yes, she is Miss Dash. I gave her some pills to help her sleep earlier. So, I must ask you two again to leave her alone until she wakes up.” I have no idea why Miss Dash face is acting like that. Maybe she’s coming down with something.
“But...I was….and she’s…ponyfeathers.” She said dropping her head and leaving the room with Pinkie.
I have no idea what that was about but I am going to have a chat with the medical board this week. About hiring some security guards for this hospital, so that they can put a stop to anymore interruption of patient’s rest and to make sure no more patient try to escape... err I mean leave before they are ready to.
“I knew getting rid of the front desk pony was a bad idea.” I said as I was checking on Jessica. “But noo they thought, they need some more bits on bandages then Pony Resources Department.” Oh, no it looks like she is waking up. Oh, my bad.
“NO, LEAVE ME ALONE MR. GUMMY BEAR!” she screamed bolting up to get on her hooves.
“Huh!” she then turns her head towards me and grabs me by my face bringing it to hers.
“They are not harmless candies we think they are.” She continues as she strikes a pose with her hoof towards the ceiling still hanging onto me. “We are in fact at war with them. They must be eaten!” she said.
Jessica point of view:
“Excuses me, Miss. But what are you talking about?” asked Red Heart.
“Huh?” Oh, it was only a dream. Thanks goodness. Now I just feel silly as I let her go; as I sat on my bed. I am not going to be able to look at candy the same way for a while. “Ah, nothing. Just a bad dream.” I really need to think before I act. That’s was so embarrassing I am glad only Red saw it.
“If you say so Miss, but I would recommend that you don’t try to fight any more Gummies bears for a while. At least until your flank has had more time to heal at least.”
“Specking of which. How long will it take before my Bu..err...Flank is any better? You know to the point where I can walk on my own again?” Also, so I can know when would be the best time to head home once Twilight has given me the ok.
“I would give you around a week; before then I would recommend to only move if needed to otherwise, I would just stay lying down.” She said with a smile.
“The great.” Not! I still have to go home. “Ok then, but will I need to go back to sleep again?” I don’t want to, but you can’t argue with the doc…err nurse.
“That would be for the best for now, but I can’t give you anymore pills right now. So, try and get some sleep if you can.” Oh well.
“Alright then see you later.”
“Later Dearie.” I wonder why she calls me that but it’s not important right now. Right now, is the time to see what kind of books Fluttershy brought me earlier are. Huuum Daring do and…
Then I can hear Red Heart talking to somepony outside. “She’s trying to get some rest girls please and try not to agitate her.” Huh, who’s out there? I lifted my head to see the door opens and see the little trio again entering my room.
“OH, hello girls what can I do for you today?” Please let it not be trying to help me.
“Well we didn’t get a chance to talk to you earlier, so here we are,” said Applebloom.
“By the way what were you talking to Twilight about anyways?” asked Scootaloo
“It’s not important. I just asked her for a favor that’s all.” Hopefully, they will buy that.
“Oh, ok.” It a good thing these ponies aren’t that smart.
“And we were curious about what you do Miss. It’s not that often we get to see a new pony coming into Pony Ville.” Oh, curious little ones, aren’t they?
Ok now how do I tell them that I am a manager of a Mac Donald’s without scaring them or getting run out of out? I know ponies don’t eat meat, but there was that one time that I saw a horse eat some scorpions off that man’s face in that movie. What was it again the Lone Star no the Lone Ranger that’s it.
Anyways, the less ponies that know about me the better. Wait I got it. “Well I oversee a restaurant back home. I am just here on a vacation.”
“Oh, like a Hay burger?” Huh! Really, there’s something called that here!
“Uh yes. I work at a hay burger.” Got to have something to go by.
“But then, why would you come to Pony Ville for a vacation. I mean no offense guys but Pony Ville isn’t known for its peaceful days here.” Applebloom stated.
“None taken. But Applebloom does have a point though. Why would you come here for a vacation? Wouldn’t going to Las Pegasus be better instead?” Not good; got a think fast.
“Well, I got side tracked here when the Diamond Dogs caught me. Then I got bitten then you girls know the rest.” Few thank you brain.
‘You’re welcome.’ Who said that?
“Oh, I hope you can still enjoy your vacation.” Said Scootaloo.
Huh! Oh, right I am talking to fillies.
“I will be all right. I just need to get out here.” What was that earlier?
“Are you in love with Exclusive?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Huh! What? Where did that come from?” I said as I blush came to my face.
“From the cave. You told Fluttershy to ‘Stay away from my stallion’ remember?”
“I…I… was…”
“Yeah! I remember too, you say something like that. Did you mean it?” said Scootaloo
“Is Exclusive your special somepony?” went Applebloom.
Their all gaining up on me. It is a pack of wolf’s, and I am the main course. Then I heard another voice coming from the doorway.
“Miss Jessica, are you wake?” it’s Him! Also, why would you ask some pony if they are awake before you come to see if they are asleep? It makes no sense.
“She is and we are asking her if she’s your special somepony cous.” Sweetie Belle told him.
Wait what they are relative? How did I miss that?
“Now Sweetie Belle that’s not something you ask somepony out of the blue like that.”
My savior. What! Where did that come from?
“I mean what would Rarity say if she heard you ask something like that if she was here right now?” he asked
“Probably something like ‘Oh my, why Sweetie Belle that’s not very lady like’” she said in a mocking high-class voice.
“Ha ha probably, but still Sweetie Belle. You don’t say something like that without knowing all the facts first.”
“But how will I know if I don’t ask one of you. Also, I do have fact but I need to make sure they are correct so that is why I am asking in the first place. I was there when she told Fluttershy to stay away from you Remember.” She continued
“I was there too Sweetie. Speaking of which, can you girls give us a moment alone please?”
“Aw but why? We just got here.” Applebloom said.
“I need to talk to Jessica for a moment. But it is grown up stuff you all wouldn’t like it. Unless you all are interested in hearing how to tell the difference between the color Fuscia and Magenta.” He said.
“NOPE! see you later,” they said as they made a mad dash for the door closing it on their way out.
“That was easy,”I said.
Exclusive then lifted his hoof at me. He waited for three seconds before he opens the door with his magic. Reviving three fillies on top of each other with their ears to where the door was earlier. Once they were discovered they made a break for it. That was funny, but now I have to deal with him. And that’s something I am not ready for. “And what did you want to talk about Exclusive?” I asked him like I didn’t know.
“I want to talk about us.”
