Author's Note

Wut? It's not dead. That's right you beautiful people. It isn't. It just took a whole lot long to finish when balancing life, work and relationships around. But as promised it is here and shall continue to breathe, just as a precaution though I wont be able to put updates out regularly due to well life. Thank you once again for being so patient with me and hopefully this chapter gives you a taste as to what is to come.

Hello Nurse

The mind is a complex system of neurons sending down electrical currents to tell the body what to do. A wonderful piece of biological hardware that nature has created, be proud evolution, that at this point in time, you have made a 21 year old herm lying in a hospital bed with her right leg bandaged up from an attack 12 hours ago and is forced by the doctor to stay inside for a couple of days. Fuck you nature, I am fucking bored now. Even the books they have are goddamn dull. All romance or foal books. Fuck me sideways, least then I’d be entertained and not sat on my flank doing jack shit.

Sigh as you can tell I’m a bit pissy with my current situation. Just looking around the room was bland. Sadly I was the only patient at the moment in the room so motivational posters were my only comfort in this bland world. Each bone in the pony skeleton in detail, how to look after yourself in health, how to care for ones hooves properly and… alright a bloody poster on genitals. Like yeah do, you know with fuckin foals about just put some private shit on the wall. Fucking hell Ponyville Hospital, no shame there. As I sat there watching ponies enjoying the day, might becoming jealous a tad. Alright a lot then, I heard voices outside the room before I could continue my spying.

“Well let’s see if she’s up. Oh and she is. How are you feeling Miss Shine?” A doctor known as Doctor Scalpel asked. He had the typical stethoscope draped round his neck. A short black mane neatly trimmed clashed with his bright tanned coloured fur. He was followed by a very attractive nurse. Damn, her eyes though. She smiled at me which for some reason she ended up blushing slightly while looking away from me. Her white fur mixed so well with her light pink mane which was held in a bun.

“Erm, Miss Shine, are you alright? Your drooling” The doctor speaking up.

“Huh what?” I closed my mouth and wiped my face with a tissue. “Hehe, erm.” Fucking hell, I feel so embarrassed by that. At least the nurse is gigging in her hoof. Oh good, thought I’d weird her out or something.

“Well, anyway Miss Shine. How are you feeling besides being in, pleasant company” I saw him motion his head to the nurse as he cleared his throat. I won’t lie, I felt like I was a teen again. I started sweating and tried to keep my cool.

“Cool, yeah amazing. Er, yeah” I kept looking back at her, I think I was making things awkward with my constant looks. Wasn’t even subtle as the doctor is having a kick out of it with that smug grin.

“Well, I leave everything in your hooves then Nurse. Make sure the patient is comfortable as best you can.” The doctor giving her wink making the Nurse roll her eyes at him, still sporting a red hue on her cheeks.

As he closed the door he gave a grin each of us, then silence between the two of us.

This went about for 20 seconds, although it felt a lot longer before she spoke, and if her looks were heavenly, her voice to match was of an angel.

“Sigh, I do apologise for my college’s behaviour Miss Shine. Let’s have a look at your leg then shall we?”

“Oh, er sure, yeah.” ‘Christ why can’t I stop acting like this!!’ The nurse casually trotted up to me and used a stool to get a more in depth look. Expertly she undid the knot on the bandage and she held my leg with her over as she unravelled. Oh god her hooves were like silk…… I need to fuckin stop.

“Well, that is healing rather nicely. I am afraid you will have some small scars but your fur would cover most of it.” She paused and under her breath she spoke “Hmm, your hind leg is rather soft.”

‘Wait, she coming onto me?! Oh damn, I might have a chance!”

The nurse quickly looked at me and blushed a lot more, without saying anything she quickly wrapped my leg in a fresh new bandage all without eye contact.

“If, you erm. Need anything else Miss Shine, let me know” She spoke so quickly and looked at the floor before she fled from the room, leaving me alone with me and my thoughts as company again.

“………..fuck. Should have said something.” I quickly saw the bedsheets rise from my crotch area indicating one thing. “And I’m sporting a hard on, stupid bloody sexy nurse. Wait, I don’t know her name either……Shit”.

“I can’t believe I got grounded for a whole month! What are we supposed to do for our cutie marks now?” A small pegasus filly who belonged to the Cutie mark crusaders spoke to her two friends beside her. Each one was walking to the hospital to apologise to the unicorn mare that had got her leg bitten due to them being in a very dangerous place that maybe they shouldn’t have been in the first place. Tut tut.

“Lucky yeh Scoots, I got 2 months, plus extra chores round da farm. AJ weren’t happy with me that for sure” The small earth pony named Applebloom replied, frowning.

“I do hope Miss Shine is alright, I mean there was so much b-blood” Sweetie Belle feeling green as she remembered the memory in her mind.

Both Scoots and Applebloom felt the same image flash into their minds and both felt the same as their friend. Guilt, shame and sick.

“I hope she ain’t mad at us, she seems cool. Not as cool as Rainbow Dash but still” Scootaloo making it apparent who her idol is.

Both Sweetie and Applebloom rolling their eyes, already knowing how they feel about their friends’ fandom in the element of loyalty.

They finally arrive at the entrance, as two of them enter the other filly just stood there, shaking a little.

“Wait, where’s Scootaloo?” Sweetie Belle asking, both fillies coming back out of the entrance to see her sweating a little.

“Come on Scoots, we can’t apologise out ere” Applebloom stating.

Scootaloo making a large gulp and slowly but surely entering the hospital. They came up to the reception area but no pony was behind the desk. They looked around and saw a nurse with a clipboard near the water dispenser. As they got closer they could hear her muttering words sporting a red hue on her muzzle, blankly staring at the clipboard.

“Soft…..Mare…..no…..herm, I see.” The CMC giving each other looks of confusion before Applebloom cleared her throat loudly which startled the nurse as she dropped her clipboard.

“Oh, sorry there little ones. In my own erm, world there. How can I help you three?” The nurse speaking as she picked up her board, trying her best to get past the little slip.

“We were hoping to see Miss Shine if that’s ok Miss Nurse?” Sweetie Belle asking politely.

“Oh, the erm…mare with the teeth wounds in her hind leg…..so soft it was.” She muttering the last part to herself. She shook her head to clear it more as three ‘oh so innocent’ fillies waited for her answer.

“Erm, yes sorry. She is located in room 103, just down the hall there but girls, you can only stay there for 20 minutes. She needs her rest, and I have to look after her…make sure she’s comfortable….yes, that.”

“Thank yah, Miss Nurse. Come on girls” Applebloom shouting to her friends and quickly trotted down the hall followed closely by them, the nurse watching them then shaking her head to get rid of inappropriate thoughts about the herm that is resting in room 103.

“Sigh, I need a break”

Fate is a bit of a weird one, if the trio of fillies had come in to my room 2 minutes earlier, then I would have had to get my extra appendage down quickly. I would hate to have that chat with them and their sisters. So Spark, you mind telling me why my sister is asking how you made a tent near your crotch? Yeah fuck that.

“Girls, seriously it’s cool. I’m just glad yeah safe and nothing happened to yeh” Bless them though, but by god. Kids are difficult at the best of times.

“But we feel so bad Miss Spark” Sweetie Belle looking at the floor with her friends. Not once have they given me eye contact since they entered.

“It’ll take time, just promise me this girls”. Each finally giving a look into their eyes, sadness and guilt was present.

“What’s that?” Scootaloo speaking out.

“Don’t, do that again. If you have to go into a very dangerous forest. Have an adult with you, kk?”

I smiled at them to show that I meant what I said. You can say whatever about me, but with foals, well yeh have to give them a lean a bit. I remember doing a few stupid things back on Earth, but then again there wasn’t any death roaming monsters in a thick ass forest.

“We can do that, right girls?” Scootaloo with a smile on her face. The other two nodding with equal looks.

“Good, now. Mind doing me a favour?” ‘Should I be asking this of them? Dunno if I should or not.’

“Anything for you Miss Spark, what is it?” Sweetie belle, being well sweet really.

“Well, first off call me either Spark or Shine. Not too keen on formal stuff and second, you’ll have to be sneaky about this as this is crucial that the doctors and Twilight doesn’t find out.”

“This ain’t a bad thing is it?” Scootaloo giving me a weary look.

“Depends on perspective, but anyway. I need my special medicine that I keep under my pillow in my room. It’ll help me…feel better yeah.” ‘Stupid that there is no booze in this place’

“Gasp, girls! We could get our cutiemarks doing this” Sweetie announcing.

“CUTIEMARK SPIES!!”

I had to quickly put my hooves over my delicate ears. Oh joy, I can hear ringing now. Fuck have I done?

“Girls! This is a hospital, I think Miss Spark has had enough for today. Come on now. You can see her tomorrow” The doctor from before speaking from the doorway.

“But we”

“No buts, no come on.” ‘Shit, how are they gonna pass me the goods now? Fuck, fuck oh wait. That’ll do’

“One second doctor, mind if I quickly speak to Sweetie belle?”

“Oh yes that’s no problem, come on you two”. Applebloom and Scootaloo looking puzzled at me until I gave them a wink and motioned for Sweetie to come closer so I could whisper in her ear.

“I’ll leave the window open, should be able to pass me it as we’re on the ground floor, it’s all up to you three now little spy” Yeah, I’m a bad influence, sue me.

Sweetie doing a cute salute and quickly joining her friends on their mission but not before closing the door.

So there I was, a slightly chewed up leg, alone…….in a hospital bed……alone…..bored now. Should have asked for a book or something as well.

The cutie mark crusaders were leaving the hospital with each spring in their steps as they set off on their mission. To retrieve Spark’s special medicine from her room. As they got to the end of the road Scootaloo turned to her fellow companions.

“You girls ready for our cutiemarks?”

Both of them nodding in unison.

“You betcha ya”

“Of course”

Scootaloo nodding as well. “Alright, since we’re spies now. We need to be discreet. Nopony can know our mission to retrieve the medicine.”

“Spies? OOOUUU CAN I JOIN?!”

Out of the blue the one known as the pink menace appeared from behind Scootaloo startling the trio of fillies.

“Pinkie! Why did yeh scare us?”

“Oopsie, sorry but my pinkie sense was going off and it was a bit of a doozy so I’ve been whizzing around town and I might have been listening in a bit. So can I can I?”
Pinkie speaking a millions miles per hours a second as per, the cutie mark crusaders knowing full well how to speak Pinkie. Granted it took time but well for the party pony she doesn’t mean any harm in her antics.

“I dunno, it is supposed to be a secret mission, and telling ponies isn’t exactly spy stuff” Scootaloo with a questioning expression.

“Aww pleeeease. I’ll be good, besides for some reason my pinkie sense has stopped so there’s that”

Sweetie Belle nodded at Pinkie. “I say let her, I mean it’s Pinkie Pie. She can like stick to walls and stuff. She can help us get the medicine”

“Hey, that’s a good point Sweetie, ok then you have my vote. Applebloom?” Scoots looking at her farm friend.

“No argument ere, this’ll be easy with Pinkie ‘round”

“Yaaay, so what’s the mission you guys?” Pinkie shouting out in the open giving nearby ponies an excuse to look at who shouted, then realising it’s Pinkie and continuing with what they were doing prior.

“”Shh Pinkie, We’ll tell yeh but yeh gotta be quiet” Applebloom looking around.

“Everypony huddle up, now heres what we’re doing….”

“Ok so everypony knows the plan yeah?” Scootaloo who pretty much dedicated herself as leader of the mission spoke just outside the library now wearing a fully black ninja suit, as did her two friends and Pinkie as they were hiding in the nearby bush. Pinkie wore nothing as this would ruin the plan.

“Pinkie you ok?” Sweetie belle speaking up whilst she looked at her pink friend. Pinkie held a questioning glare at the trio.

“This sounds like stealing?” Pinkie said with a flat tone. This sent chills up the fillies spines.

“N No its not. It’s for Spark, we told you why” Scootaloo sweating a little. Nopony likes this side of the jolly mare. She be scary.

“Hmmm, ok then if you say so. I’ll go in first and distract who’s there” Pinkie quickly zipped into the building at blinking speed.

“Pinkie is scary at times.”

“Yeh I know what yeh mean Sweetie”

“Ditto, now we watch and wait for the signal.” As the trio looked into the room to see Pinkie pie talking up a storm in front of Spike and Twilight who was reading a book while Spike had his comic in his head. Pinkie now seeing the fillies watching did a cartwheel which prompted the signal as the trio nodded to each other and set off to the back door, being careful not to make a sound.

“Pinkie, while that was a good cartwheel, I am busy here. I want to learn more about healing spells so I can help whoever is hurt straight away, and not rely on others from a distance” Twilight somewhat annoyed at the distraction.

This in turn caused Pinkie’s hair to deflate like a balloon and stick to her face in a straightened manner. No longer was it poofy, it was long and straight.

“Ooh, I see. I’m sorry Twilight. I didn’t know” Pinkie remembering the state of when they found Spark and the trio of fillies in the Everfree.

Twilight sighing at the 180 degree turn that Pinkie took. She closed the book via magic and walked over to her sulken friend, wrapping her forelegs around her as Pinkie returned the gesture.

“It’s fine Pinkie. I’m not mad at you or anything. I’m mad at myself for not knowing any healing magic” Twilight holding her friend close.

“It’s not your fault Twilight. It’s those meanie wolves” Pinkie trying to smile.

“Hey I know, wanna help me Pinkie. Two ponies are better than one after all”.

And just like that Pinkie defied all physics by grabbing her mane in her mouth and inflating it like a balloon. “Yepper rooney. I’ll find that info in no time Twilight” Pinkie bouncing to the bookstand and somehow sticking to the wall.

Unaware of them being watched the trio outside saw this as the signal and sneaking into the back door of the library, being very cautious with their movements and looking for anypony.

They made it into Spark’s bedroom, just avoiding Twilight’s gaze as they closed the door.

“Alright, she said it was under her pillow” Sweetie Belle whispered.

Scootaloo jumped with the aid of her wings to the bed and lifted the pillow to find a crystal clear bottle of dark liquid inside. The bottle with minotaur horns over a keg on the front.

“Found it, this smells awful though. Medicine tastes bad” Scootaloo passing it to Applebloom.

“I hope Ms Spark feels better once we give her this” Applebloom looking curiously at the contents. “Kinda reminds me of the family cider a bit, nah Ms Spark wouldn’t send us to get alcohol would she?”

“Nah she’s too cool for that” Scootaloo dismissing the idea straight away.

“Anyway let’s get out of here guys” Sweetie belle opening the bedroom door for them.

“Bored, so fucking bored…………………..FUCK THIS SUCKS!!!” Yeah I don’t do well in situations where I’m forced to be patient, that’s one of my flaws.

“Miss Spark” A small whisper caused my head to turn towards the window to see a small beautiful bottle of ‘medicine’ being on the outside of the window.

“Ohh hell yes”. Carefully I swung my leg out of the sling and landed on the floor.

I sucked air through my teeth in pain. “Bloody wolf chewing my god damn leg” I made my way to the window and opened it to see all three fillies on top of each other with sweetie belle at the top like a ladder.

“You fillies are the best. Quest cleared girls.” I spoke as I held the bottle to my chest. A little smile was given out.

The trio got off each other and smiled to turn around and a collective sad sigh to escape from their muzzles.

“Maybe next time girls, didn’t get into any trouble on my part?” I had to ask, call me what you want but I ain’t a monster………kinda.

“Nuh huh. Although Pinkie helped us out, then she got all sad when Twilight said something top her. I don’t know what it was but they hugged then we took that as our que” Scootaloo speaking up.

“Yeah I wonder what was going on with her, you think she’s ok Miss Shine?” Sweetie asking me.

“Shit, there gonna start asking questions.” I mumbled to myself, making sure the fillies didn’t hear me.

“Huh?” Scoots asking all confused.

“Oh, don’t worry bout it. I’ll sort it out. Seriously though girls, yeh helped me a bunch. Best you get out of here before somepony…”

“Well Miss Shine I hope, MISS SHINE GET INTO BED THIS ONCE!!” A voice screamed at me, I quickly levitated the bottle behind my back as I turned to see the same sexy nurse as before.

“Oh, hi nurse, great weather huh?” I spoke as I quickly closed the window, winking at the crusaders and prepared for a beating from this nurse. ‘Actually I wouldn’t mind that’

“Into bed now, you are injured. Is there somepony you’re talking to?” A look that can rival when your mom suspects something is up.

“Er no why? Chattin to myself tis all” A fake smile, I could feel my physical trademark of ‘I’m lying’ flopping down. Stupid fucking ear.

“Hmm, so you wouldn’t mind if I looked out this window then?” She spoke in a tone of ‘if I find something I don’t like, your dead missy’. She walked towards the window as I quickly stashed my medicine under my pillow and quickly got back into bed.

“Oh, there’s no pony here?” The nurse looking left to right out the window.

‘That was a close one.’ Hot damn though she has a nice flank. “Clears throat” Oh shit, think the nurse knew I was staring at her. Quick, gotta think something classy and safe.

“Ain’t my fault your attractive” ‘THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?!!’

“Oh, I’m attractive huh?” The nurse looking to the side blushing up a storm with a smile. “Well, even flattery won’t get you that far Miss Shine. Not while you’re in my care. Now I don’t want you leaving your bed from now on understand?”

She had an aura of authority, don’t really wanna piss her off more. So a simple nod from me was what I gave her.

“Sorry Nurse, won’t happen again”…… and once again left ear down.

“Well good, I suppose it’s nearly lunch time. I’ll bring you some Miss Shine.”

“Oh, yeh sounds good. Also can yeh drop the Miss part? Call me Spark.”

“I’ll do just that Spark” A small smirk was on her muzzle as she turned around and set off out the door.

“Did she just wink at me?” I shrugged and gave it a few minutes before reaching via magic to grab the bottle under my pillow and pop the cork off giving its sweet aroma a few sniffs.

“Oh fuck yes, mommy missed you sweetheart.” A few big gulps as it burned my throat then soothed it suddenly with its honey aftertaste. “Hmm, that’s the stuff. Oh fuck I drank a quarter already? Need to chill…..maybe 1 more”

As I was about to put the bottle to my lips the door swung straight open.

“Spark, I have……where did you get that?” The nurse spoke with a dead tone………oh shit.

“Erm, hehehe. Would you believe it was under my pillow?” A very ‘convincing’ smile I gave her.

“Miss Shine.” She closed the door as you pushed the cart to the side. “Do you know what we do to those who do not cooperate for their health?” She said this leaning over me.

“Damn you smell good” ‘….Me and my fucking mouth’

“Oh, flirting again are we to get out of this hmm?” She gave me bedroom eyes.

‘Wait. She into me?’ “Erm, sorry. I I didn’t” Suddenly she put a hoof to my lips.

“Shhhh, that’s even Miss Shine. I still have to report this to the doctor though and I will be taking that bottle.”

Giving a small pout I past her the bottle. “Hmm, Minotaur rum. Very heavy stuff. Some girl can hold their drink” As she was about to leave she spoke “I’ll be back to collect your plate later on ……Spark”

…………”Fuckin stupid girl. Shoulda waited till dark. Fuuck, Twilight is gonna get told.”

As I shifted towards the food on the cart I felt something.

“Oh fuck right off.” I look to see me sporting yet another tent. “How long were you fucking there?”

As the right course of action to take was to scream into my pillow.

“FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK……..MMMMEEEEEEEEE”

After my little venting a different nurse came in to take the now empty cart away, and apologising that Nurse Redheart had to take an extended break to deal with something personal. Huh wonder what that means, she mentioned she would come back later tonight to make sure I was ‘comfortable’. Oook then. Least I know her name now. I thanked the nurse and sat there thinking of what she meant by personal. Hope she’s alright.

Meanwhile in a small cottage in the middle of town:

“Hmm, I shouldn’t be doing this but that mare. She’s a patient, she’s been hurt. I shouldn’t take advantage of her.” The mare spoke to herself in her mirror. “No, Red. You could tell she was interested in you and I can’t lie, I’m kind of curious. “If what Flitter and Cloudchaser is true.” A moan had escaped my lips as a bit the bottom one.

“Oh I’lltake good care of you Spark Shine.”
