Why me?
Why can't I just get a break?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt’s morning now, around 8 I think. I filled with the sense of relief of having a peaceful time waking up and not have to worry about my own safety.
For once.
Pinkie’s party was alright all things consider, however it ended rather quickly when my nurse Redheart came in to the room. I found out her name when the ponies in the room suddenly turned around and said her name before running everywhere in a panic. I had no idea that ponies could clear such a small room so fast. I also remember a funny though during it when about three or four ponies tried to escape through the same window next to my bed and got stuck, until another one ran into them. It still cracks me up.
As for the gift they brought me. Nurse Redheart let me keep them with me, but I did lose the cake.
Got to get find that one later.
I moved the presents over to the right of my bed and had separate them into ‘what I know and don’t know’ piles'. I wasn’t sure what to do with them, considering I have no idea how to use most of them with these hooves of mine. I am mean how does a pony even brush themselves, without turning into a pretzel?
On another note, remember the time when I said leaves were tasty. Well, I take that back, they are the worst thing to ever grow underneath the sun. This salad is horrible.
“Leave it to the hospitals to turns a tasty treat into last week cold slaw.” I said pushed the tray away from me. “I am not eating this.” But then again there is not trash can in here (weird) and I can’t just leave this here. They will think I am neglecting my health by not eating right. “What to do?” I then notice that the window was still open. Making sure no pony was nearby; I toss my toxic waste outside.
*Splat*
“AAAGGGHHH! It has got me!”
I then closed the window quickly. I was in the restroom the whole time. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
Speaking of restrooms, I need to use one, but I can’t really use one right now with the way my butt is right now. Where’s that nurse call button when you need it, because I don’t see it anywhere. Oh well, at least the hospital staff can’t be that far away from my room. “Hello! Nurse, Doc, Somepony! I am in need of a little help over here!” It didn’t take long for Red Heart show up.
“What seems to be the problem Dearie?” she seems like a nice pony, maybe I should give her one of these gifts. But first things first.
“I need to use the restroom,” I said while squirming a little in my bed.
“Ok then; one moment while I go get your bed pan.” She said as she made her way to the closet nearby.
“Wait! Bed pans?! No way.
"Miss Jessica. Your injuries on your flank will make using the restroom too difficult on your own. Until your injuries recover more. You are stuck with a bed pan for now."
"Do I have to?”
“Yes.”
“Ok then I guess, If I have no choice then." I going to kill Rainbow once I get out of here! "I really do need to go.”
"Okay give me a second to get your bed pan." I can’t believe I am going to have to use one. I was honestly hoping for a modified version of a toilet, not this.
However, if there is one thing I have learn in life is that you don’t argue with the one that is helping you. Or was it you don’t bite the hand that feeds you? I am not sure, anyways I don’t care anymore because I need to go now.
However, right in the middle of my private time, I get the feeling that this hospital is under staff. Not because that Red heart is the only nurse I have seen since got here. Or the fact that this place iz so quiet. But I am sure that every hospital has a front desk person. You know the one who would be at the of the front of the hospital to greet anypony coming in and lets you when visiting hours over. Whom in turn would have told anypony who wanted to pay a visit; to wait and see if its ok to visit. Because they should have told Exclusive here who just walk right into the room with no pony trying to stop him to wait until the nurses are done helping the patients. Did I mention I was still using the bed pan when he came in my room? Because I am still using it! In fear and embarrassment, I let him know the errors of his ways with a pillow to the face.
“AAAAAHHHH EXCLUSIVE A LITTLE PRIVACY!” I screamed while blushing like mad.
“SORRY!” he said with a quick U-turn out of the room with Nurse Red Heart Right behind him.
Why don’t these room have locks on them?! “Oh, how embarrassing.” I groan to myself rubbing my face with my hooves. I hoped he didn’t see much; I am never going to be feeling safe using the bathroom again. “Wait? Did he drop a bouquet of roses on his way out?” I can see a dozen roses tie nicely in a yellow ribbon just lying there on the floor.
Regardless, rose or no rose you do not enter someone else’s room without knocking first. I can hear Exclusive getting an ear full by Red Heart outside, as I calm myself down. You tell him girl! At least for a little while longer at least, I almost done here.
Wait how do I throw that pillow anyways?
Once I was done doing my duty. I decided to save Exclusive from my body guard. “Nurse Red Heart I am done in here.”
“Okay, I will be right there Dearie. And YOU MR. Wait out here until I say otherwise UNDERSTAND!?” Whoa now I feel sorry for Exclusive for getting on her bad side.
Not really, he deserves it.
Redheart closes the door behind her as she enters the room. “I must again apologize for the rude interruption earlier by that stallion. Nothing like this have every happen before Miss.”
“Oh, is ok he a friend. And I don’t think saw much anyways.”
“If you say so, Miss.”
Once I was all clean up. Exclusive was nowhere to be found. I guess after that little episode; he would come back later.
Nothing happen exciting happen until two hours later. When somepony was knocking at the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me Exclusive."
"Come on in." He had smile on his face, but I meet him with a frown. I knew what he was going to say so I decided to beat him to the punch.
“What happened earlier never happened Exclusive, so what do you want.” that seemed to surprise him before he decides to talk.
“I came to give you this.” He then levitates a small box towards me. “It’s a potion that’s help restore cut off mane and tails to their formal glory.” He said as I open the box revealing the blue liquid in a bottle.
I know most people would thing this as a joke, or it's too good to be true thing, and would refuse it right away. But when you wake up in a land of magical talking ponies and you find out that you yourself are one. You just have to roll with it, and believe that somethings are just possible here.
Drinking the juice I felt a tingle in the backside of my neck, and were my tail would be. In less than a second and hair was back like it never left. I give my new hair a quick brush over with my hooves. I am not sure if I should kill him for the horrible aftertaste or kiss for giving me back my mane and tail. Wait did I just say kiss? Bad brain!
“Thank you Exclusive for that. So how are you doing today”
“The better question is how are you doing Miss Jessica?”
“Huh! What do you mean?” I said tilting my head.
He then moves his way to the side of my bed. “Well you were just ponynapped, bitten by a Timberwolve, and then sent the hospital all in one day. I know I am not going to be feeling safe around my house again anytime soon. But I was just wondering if you are alright?” Well at least he is honest.
“I am doing alright, even with everything that had happened so far.” I chucked a little at that.
“Indeed that is very good. I can also see that the potion did its job as well.” He said gesturing to my now visible mane.
“Yes, it did but what about you? Didn’t you get one for yourself?” I said finally taking notice that he is wearing a blue cloak.
“Unfortunately, no. Zecora only had enough for one batch. So, I need to wait until she has a chance to get more supplies for one.” He said with a little sad tone of voice.
“Gee that must stink.” I said shaking my head. “By the way how are the other ponies doing? You know the ones we rescue from the mine.”
“Well, most of them left town shortly after returning Pony Ville.”
“Oh well. At least they are alright now. By the way, whatever happened to Rainbow?”
“As for her, I haven’t seen since she left us last night, but I believe she went to see Twilight.” There’s that name again.
“Who is this Twilight I keep hearing about. Is she somepony important around here?” I would like to know, maybe she can help me.
“That’s right you said you were from out of Pony Ville’. But I thought everypony would have heard about Princess Twilight Sparkles, The Princess of Friendship.”
She a WHAT! "Wait there’s a Real Princess nearby!” I didn’t think there was any form of government here, let alone royalty.
“Why yes, Twilight is a very nice mare, although she could use a stallion in her life. She’s always busy saving somepony or researching something. She really needs to get out more without working on something.”
“Sounds like she in need of some friends. Wait didn’t you says she’s The Princess of Friendship. Why doesn’t she just make some friends that do a little paring every now and then. That’s should do the trick.”
“That would make senses if she hasn’t already done that. She friends with Pinkie Pie, needed I say more?”
“Well I didn’t see that coming. And no, no I don’t. So, what does she do around here exactly? I don’t see her doing much from what you are telling me?” Besides making Friends.
“Well, you can ask her yourself later I heard she was coming over later to see you.” He said taking a seat on the chair nearby the bed.
“See me? Why? Was it because of the Diamonds dogs or just to see how I am doing? Because I find it odd that somepony as important as Twilight would come to see me out of the blue like this."
“Probably the latter. She’s nice that way.” I am starting to like her already, but…
“So, do I need to bow to her when she comes in because I can’t really do that right now,” I said gesturing to my flank.
“Probably not she’s not that formal of a Princess. Just talk to her like you would to anypony else.”
“Ok now I really like her, thanks for the advice Exclusive.” I was going to say more before some random stallion came into the room panting out of breath.
This one was orange with a blonde mane wearing a cowboy hat and a brown vest.
I am really getting tired of all these interruptions.
“Exclusive your House is on fire!”
Oh, come on! It is just one thing after another around here.
“What… but I… Pony feathers. Sorry, Jessica but I got to go. Good luck with the princess I will be back later.” And with that, I was all alone again. Great!
“Why can’t I just have a normal day?!” I said rubbing my hooves to my face.
