Hay Belly Syndrome!

Blood Bones’s POV

My eye’s slowly opened as I heard the sound of voices circulate through my ears.

“Get back! The prince's are not excepting any interviews! Get back!” I heard a mare’s voice, as my eye’s slowly adjusted to the brightness of the room. I saw a pale orange unicorn mare, with white hair, and a needle for a cutiemark as she slammed the door shut locking it. She turned around and saw me and her look immediately changed to a look of pity. The mare walked over to me and I felt my body try to run from her. But it was then I realized that I couldn’t feel my stomach, anus, and my privates.

I looked around and I could feel I was wearing a breathing mask as well. The mare placed a hoof on my stomach and even though I couldn’t feel it, I strangely felt relaxed by the touch.

“Are you okay? Do you need the colts room?” The mare said, I waited for a moment bit since I couldn’t feel my bladder I shook my head no. I looked at my hooves and saw that a needle was in my arm, it ran up to a drip as I shuttered from the cold water entering my bloodstream. I looked around and I saw my brother was lying in bed with the same needle connected to his arm, he was fast asleep his chest rising and falling slowly.

“Don’t worry you and your brother are nice and stable again. I just came here to check your vitals and your catheter’s.” The nurse said, I arched an eyebrow at the lady as she said that word. What the heck was a catheter? I then laid my head back on the pillow as I saw the nurse walk over to my heart monitor and checked everything. She then walked back to the front of my bed and pulled up the sheets. I jumped and I felt my tail instinctively clasp over my anus.

“Shh, shh, it’s okay dearie. Everything is fine.” The nurse reassured me, she then put my sheets back down and walked over to my brother doing the same thing. And as I watched the nurse check my brother my eyelids slowly drooped.

My eye’s slowly opened and closed as I heard voices drift into my ears.

“He’s waking up! He’s waking up!” A voice said,

“Yes!” Another cried out.

“Shh, quiet my little ponies. Let him wake at his own pace.” Another voice said, that voice stuck out to me as my ears twitched. My eye’s opened half-lidded as I saw who was in the room. I saw Sweet Dreams, Bumper, French Press, Celestia, Luna, and Meadow. Celestia quietly walked over to me and ran a hoof through my mane.

“Are you okay?” Celestia asked me, I felt a stab of guilt as she asked that question. I looked at my friends and I felt even worse so I looked at my hooves instead. I felt tears build up in my eyes as my ears went back against my skull.

“I-I-I…..I’m sorry.” I muttered,

“Sorry? What are you apologizing for?” Meadow said. I tried to sink into my bed, to make myself appear smaller.

“Fo-For being an i-idiot. I….I should’ve never let it get this fa-far.” I said, somewhat stunned on how soft my voice was. Luna frowned slightly as she walked over to me. She gently put a hoof under my muzzle, I shyed away not daring to look my aunt in the eye’s.

“Blood Bones, look at me.” Luna said, I didn’t obey her command. I was too ashamed, I felt as if she’d slap me if I made direct contact.

“Prince Blood Bones, as Princess Luna second in line for the throne I command you to look at me.” Luna said in a much more demanding tone, I grumbled and looked into her eye’s. Once I did I saw a concerned yet gentle look from my aunt.

“What you did was very noble and sweet. But, I do think it was also very foolish. Promise me you’ll never put your health over your duties. I don’t want my fellow ex-villain to hurt himself like that.” Luna said, at this point I didn’t have anything else to say so I simply nodded. Suddenly though we all heard the sound of yawning and we all turned out heads to see Timidthy waking up.

“Timidthy!” Bumper and Sweet Dreams shouted, my brother flinched at the voices as he rubbed his eye’s tiredly.

“Hmm….whe-where am I?” Timidthy said,

“At Canterlot hospital, are you feeling okay?” Bumper said.

“Yeah, I think, I can’t feel anything from below the chest.” Timidthy said,

“Well painkillers will do that to you.” A voice said, and all of us turned our heads to see orange unicorn mare nurse from before. Timidthy looked at me and I gave him a look that told him the mare was here to help. “I do apologize to interpret but I came to tell you that visiting hours are over.” The mare said, she then held the door open for our guests. Princess Luna and Celestia both waved goodbye to me and me and my brother as they left the room. The only ones that didn’t follow was Sweet Dreams, Bumper, French Press, and Meadow.

“Come on children, we have to go.” Luna said, Sweet Dreams then flew over to my brother and kissed him on the nose. Timidthy’s face burst into scarlet as Sweet Dreams left the room. Meadow on the other hoof walked over to me and kissed my left hoof. I felt my cheeks broil as she left with a skip in her trot.

“Uh, quick question.” French Press said,

“What is it?” Our nurse said.

“How long are they going to be here?” Bumper asked, as I put my head back on the pillow suddenly feeling very sleepy again. I looked over to my brother who was already back to sleep as he buried himself in the covers.

“Oh they should be here from at least two to three weeks.” The nurse whispered, as she realized that we we’re starting to fall asleep. “Now come on, let’s let them get their rest.” And I lazily watched the others leave. Bumper and French Press waved goodbye as they left and finally my eyes shut. And as I drifted off into the land of dreams I had one final thought.

‘I’m never going to put anything before my health ever again.’
