Happy Birthday Bumper!

The moon rose as stars gleamed in the night sky, it was then that Bumper slowly started to wake up. He stretched his limbs as he rubbed his eye's. He noticed his coat and hair smelled of strawberries as if he recently had taken a bath. Bumper looked around realizing he was in his room he tried to figure out how he got here and what had happened. Before he could even scratch the surface a small knock came from the other side of his door.

"H-Hello?" A very recognizable shaky voice called out, Bumper shook away most of the confusion away.

"Come in." He said realizing how sour his mouth felt as it had a minty taste to it, Timidthy walked in with a nervous look as he carried in a large yet thin gift. The alicorn placed the gift against the wall and closed the door, his horn lit up as it put a silencing spell on the room. Finally, he walked over to Bumper and placed his front hooves on the frame of his bed.

"How are you feeling?" Timidthy asked a thoroughly bewildered Bumper,

"Umm......well beside smelling like a strawberry shortcake and feeling as if I went to the dentist. I'm....good...I guess." He said. Timidthy bit his lip,

"Well....that's good. But......" The prince said trailing off. Bumper started to grow nervous; what was Timidthy trying to tell him?

"What is it?" Bumper said as the alicorn seemed to get more jittery by the minute,

"I-I.....well.... you see...." Timidthy gave up and moved the sheet covering the patch and pointed to it. Bumper's eye's widened as his face turned red,

"No....please no." He whispered hoping Timidthy was just playing some cruel, sick prank. Unfortunately, he saw no sort of trickery instead he saw a guilty face confirming his horrors,

"I'm sorry. I didn't know." Timidthy said and hazy memories started to come to Bumper's mind. He had acted like that, he had gone nuts, and worst of all he had sushi. Tears weld up in his eye's as realization and humiliation hit him like a freight train. Bumper started crying as his blush spread all over his cheeks and muzzle,

"How bad was it?" He whimpered very well knowing it would only make him feel worse. Timidthy gulped,

"Bu-Bumper I'm not sure-" He said before Bumper interrupted.

"Tim, you better tell me. How bad was it?" Timidthy felt tears come to his eye's,

"Let's just say that if reporter's we're there it would make the front news." He said. "But listen let's not focus on that. The others are worried about you we could-"

"No! I don't want to talk to anypony right now! I-I just want to be left alone right now; okay?" Bumper said his voice filled with shame. Timidthy nodded,

"Okay anything you want to tell me before I go?" He said. Bumper nodded as his face went redder and he looked at his bed sheets.

"I want meetings with you anytime in private. I'm gonna wear a patch every day from now on. And.....thank you for calming me down." He said and Timidthy smiled and said,

"Of course Bumper, anything for a friend." Before he left the room making sure to lock the door. Bumper then allowed his tears to tell freely, as he looked at Timidthy's present that was still unopened
