Hay Belly Syndrome!

*Blood Bones POV

I remember every single worry my body gave me. Telling me something was wrong, but I either ignored it or swept it under the rug. I could’ve saved myself so much embarrassment but noooo my stupid pride got in the way! Sorry…..this part is just really frustrating for me. But I’ll pull through it after all I have to tell you what happened.

Shimmer Sword had made me a daisy sandwich for lunch as me and him sat in silence. I didn’t have much of an appetite, which I found a bit odd but I chose to ignore it so all I really did was nibble on it. I avoided any eye contact as I looked at the floor. Eventually Shimmer Sword spoke,

“Blood Bones everything is fine I don’t blame you but you have to eat.” He said. I still didn’t look at him but I very hesitantly levitated half of the daisy sandwich over to me and look a bite. I chewed but as I swallowed I felt very sick as my vision swam. Shimmer Sword immediately ran over to me,

“Blood Bones are you okay?” He said. I put a hoof over my mouth as I took deep breathes trying to get myself steady. Finally my vision cleared up and I didn’t feel sick anymore.

“I-I’m fine.” I muttered, but Shimmer Sword simply shook his head before running back to the kitchen. He came back in mere seconds with a glass full of soda,

“Drink it.” Shimmer Sword said. I knew Shimmer Sword wasn’t kidding so I drank the soda while fighting my gag reflex. Once I was done I put the glass on the table,

“Shimmer Sword I’m fine.” I said. Which we both knew it was a bare-faced lie,

“No your not. Your sick I’m not sure with what but you need I doctor. And maybe Timidthy as well.” Shimmer Sword said.

“I don’t need a doctor! I’ve just been having a rough day alright!” I said, stomping my front hooves on the table. Shimmer Sword looked ready to reply but he was soon cut off as a blindingly bright purple flash shined in the room. I covered my eye’s from the flash and once it was gone it was revealed to be Meadow. And I felt my heart sink. She had a couple suitcases with her as she had a smile on her face that screamed: “We’re gonna spend the day together whether you like it or not!”.

“Hello my cute creep demon!” Meadow said, she then kissed me causing me to have a wing-boner. Once she pulled back she jumped off the bed and trotted off,

“Come on Blood Bones you have to help me unpack and then we can spend the entire day with each other!” Meadow said. I watched as she trotted off, I then looked at my sandwich and then at Shimmer Sword. Who was giving me a glare telling me to eat, I sighed and stuffed both haves of the sandwich in my mouth. I grunted as my gag reflex was telling my to spit it out but I ignored it and swallowed. My stomach groaned in response but (luckily) I didn’t feel a wave of sickness cross over me. I then didn’t wait for Shimmer Sword to speak before I dashed off for my fillyfriend.

I found Meadow in the room next to Prince Blueblood’s as she was just opening her suitcases. I saw Prince Blueblood talking to her as they laughed about something. I prayed that Blueblood hadn’t told her anything embarrassing as I slowed my pace walking into the room.

“There you are! Now come on Prince Blueblood agreed he’d help organize my stuff!” Meadow said, and I forced a smile as I felt like smashing Prince Blueblood’s brains in. Meadow then ran over and grabbed my hoof and we galloped out of the castle.

Me and Meadow we’re on our way to the Canterlot hair salon where she (and to a lesser extent French Press) we’re working part time there. I had agreed to try out some of the shampoo’s and I had asked if I could take a few home not because I have a dandruff problem or anything! Anyway so Meadow and I had just gotten to the hair salon when I felt a pain in my bowels. I at first was confused I hadn’t used the colts room not ling ago and now I had to go again? And I had only had a daisy sandwich, how was it possible?

But I decided to just ignore it, I was probably just stressed out and was imagining things. Yeah that sounded right! So me and Meadow walked into the salon and she immediately sat me down in one of those plush chairs. Meadow pulled out over a dozen shampoos and my eye’s widened as my bowels reminded me on how much pain they (and I) we’re feeling. I bit my lip but didn’t speak up as Meadow used her magic to squirt some shampoo in my hair.

I then heard her get behind the chair and started spreading the shampoo through my hair. I don’t exactly know how many shampoos and used on me, but I just decided to focus on holding in my business. I didn’t even realize she was done until Meadow tapped my shoulder. I jumped and tried my best not to squirm.

“Hey Blood Bones I’m all done! Sorry it took so long!” Meadow said,

“I-It’s alright!” I stammered. And that was when Meadow noticed something was up.

“Blood Bones are you okay? You don’t stutter like that.” She said, analyzing me like a puzzle.

“Yes I’m fine! I just need to stretch my legs!” I said trying my best to sound convincing, Meadow raised an eyebrow.

“Well……okay. But you can tell me if something is wrong you don’t have to hide from me.” She said, putting more emphasis on the lady three words.

“Of course, I know that! Let’s just head back to the castle now!” I said getting out of the chair as my tail was hicked slightly, I used my magic to pull my tail down once I saw this and smiled nervously at Meadow. Meadow had a look on her face that told me she wanted to know what was up with me. But she didn’t seem to want to press any further…..at least in public. Meadow and I we’re about to make our way out and I saw the sun was just beginning to set. I suddenly felt even more pain realizing how long I’d been holding everything in I whimpered and unfortulently Meadow heard me,

“Blood Bones what’s wrong?” She said.

“Nothing.” I said as we walked out of the hair salon,

“Blood Bones I know when something is wrong. Can’t you tell me what’s the—” Meadow said until I felt something snap.

“NOTHING IS WRONG! OKAY!?” I shouted, Meadow jumped back and looked at me along with a couple other ponies heading home. I then took in deep breathes trying to get my temper back down. Once I was calm I lowered my voice and whispered in Meadow’s ear.

“Look can we deal with this later I-I just want to go home.” I said, and Meadow nodded before we both hurried away in a trot. Once we we’re away from everypony Meadow suddenly used her magic to drag me into an alleyway and she lit her horn as she backed me into a wall.

“Okay I don’t know what is up with you but you’ve been acting strange all day. So tell me what’s wrong?” Meadow said, and I could tell she was at the edge of her patience. I bit my lip as I tried to think of a good excuse, but I froze as I felt movement in my bowels. I gasped and I forced my tail to clasp around my flank. I felt myself begin to panic, flight or magic would be too strenuous for me so the only option I had……was to tell her the truth. I felt my cheeks flush as my mind (and my pride) try to reconsider my next action.

But a sharp pain from my stomach reminded me I didn’t have a lot of time. I sighed looking away from Meadow as my ears fell,

“Look the reason why I’ve been acting so off lately. Is. because…..before you showed up…..I-I had wet myself. I didn’t want to say anything cause I was embarrassed. And then we went to the hair salon….and during that I realized I had to go. But….I didn’t say anything cause I knew you we’re happy to hang out with me. And now….it’s worse everything hurts and I just want to go home.” I admitted, I then hung if head trying my best not to cry. Suddenly though Meadow lifted my head and I looked directly into her eyes.

“Blood Bones why do you always have to make things so difficult? I wouldn’t have minded if you had asked politely to excuse yourself. Now come on it’s fine let’s just walk our way back to the castle.” Meadow said, and smiled but that soon turned into a grimace and that’s when I knew I had minutes left to save my dignity.

“Actually ma-maybe teleportation would be better!” I blurted clutching my stomach as it groaned again, I felt Meadow wrap a hoof around my neck. And sensed she was charging up a teleportation spell. And before I knew it we we’re in my room and Meadow was helping me up. Once we got to my restroom I used my hoof to open the door and bolted inside. I then shut the door and locked it hoping I wouldn’t take too long.

When I got out I was completely exhausted, and Meadow immediately ran over to me.

“Thank goodness your okay! I was worried sick!” Meadow said,

“Your lucky that Meadow knew how to help you.” Another voice said. I then looked up to see Shimmer Sword, and I winced taking a few steps back. Shimmer Sword was giving me a glare that could only be beaten by my mom and auntie.

“Come on let’s get you to bed!” Meadow said, but before I could decline she levitated me into my bed.

“Yes it’s late and you have to start Luna’s nightshift.” Shimmer Sword said, “And speaking of night I think you should head to bed Meadow.”

“Oh fine. But I’ll be checking on my creep demon straight in morning!” Meadow said walking off. Once she was gone Shimmer Sword spoke.

“Blood Bones….” He said,

“Shi-Shimmer I—” I said only for the guard to interrupt.

“I don’t care this is the second time you did this and you could end up hurting yourself. As soon as Celestia and Luna are healthy again I’m telling them what happened and to make sure you and Timidthy both use the restroom before going anywhere.” Shimmer Sword said, I opened my mouth but soon closed it realizing I didn’t have a counterargument. Shimmer Sword then sighed,

“Look I’m doing this for your own health. Now try your best at your aunts job and goodnight.” He said. And he then left making sure to cut off the light and shut the door. And once he was gone I clutched my stomach as it groaned and rumbled.

“Please…..stop.” I muttered, I then laided down and turned on my stomach as a griped my pillow in pain. I started to cast the dream walking spell I had learned as I wished I could tell Meadow and Shimmer Sword what was wrong with me.

That I couldn’t go.

Finally I cast the spell and my eye’s fluttered close as I prayed the pain would stop.
