The friendship games had just ended in a tie and lets just say principle cinch was pissed. CPA had a
Reputation in that they are expected to win every competition they participate in , so when principle Celestia declared both schools winners she was not happy about it.

Sour sweet: well another games done, don’t think cinch is too happy about the end results though.

Lemon zest: yeah tell me about it, but at least now we have 7 new friends and no one got hurt.

Sugar coat: you seem to be forgetting what happened back there zest.

Lemon zest: well i mean apart from the whole midnight sparkle deal.The crystal prep students were piling back onto the bus and indigo zap had gone up to her usual seat at the front, there was a reason as to why she sat at the front every time they went on field trips, it wasn’t because she liked to yell in everyone’s faces like people think, although she did enjoy that part. It was because she had really bad travel sickness any bump they went over and corner they turned would make her stomach flip. As she approached her usual seat she was blocked by an angry looking principle cinch.

Principle cinch: what do you think your doing miss zap?

Indigo zap: uhh taking a seat?

Principle cinch: not there you’re not, only winners sit at the front go sit at the back with the rest of the students that have let the schools reputation down.

Indigo zap: (nervously whimper) b-but.

Principle cinch: just do it.So indigo went to the back of bus and sat with her now friends, they had always gotten along but they never classed each other has actual friends until now, it seemed everything that had happened had put things into perspective for the 5 girls. They were about 20 minutes into the hour long bus journey home things were actually alright to start with, but then they had to down a really bumpy lane which indigo had completely forgotten about. As the bus juddered over the bumps and pot wholes zap could feel her stomach twisted and she had started to sweat.

Sunny flare: are you alright indigo?

Indigo zap: ( quietly) yeah sunny I’m fine.

No one knew about zaps travel sickness other than her parents she had been given medication but she didn’t ever take it. Besides she usually has the front of the bus so she didn’t need to.

Sunny flare: are you sure? Because you don’t look to good.

She reached up to feel indigo’s forehead there was a little heat but nothing drastic and it was pretty warm on the bus.

Indigo zap: I promise I’m fi-

Indigo didn’t have chance to finish her sentence when the bus took a sharp turn around the bend, all of a sudden her stomach jolted and she threw up all over herself and the floor in front of her. This got the attention of the students most of the laughed whilst the rest of the shadow 5 went up to where indigo and sunny were sat.Sour sweet: what happened?

Sunny flare: I’m not sure. She just rubbed indigo’s back has she continued to vomit she was starting to shake and tear up a little bit now probably from the shock.

Dean Cadance: is everything alright back hear girls?

Lemon zest: I don’t think indies feeling too well dean cadence.

Sugar coat: (Sarcastically) great observation lemon.

Lemon zest: is now really the appropriate time for your sarcasm sugarcoat?

Sunny flare: will you both shut up? She just keeps throwing up I don’t know what the problem is.

Dean cadence: ok let me sit there for a minute.

Sunny moved out the way so dean cadence could sit in her seat indigo zap still throwing up but at least now it was in a bucket that sour sweet had given to her.

Dean cadence: indigo look at me for a minute.

Zap lifted her head from the bucket to look at the dean her eyes were now swollen from crying and and the heat in her head had risen. Cadence felt indigo’s forehead in the same way that sunny flare had done previously, there were signs of a mild temperature but nothing to concerning.

Dean cadence: you feeling alright?

Indigo zap: n-no. And with that she threw up again.

Dean cadence: is anything hurting indigo?

Indigo zap: my head a little bit but not that much. She had finally stopped puking as she probably nothing left in her system, however she was still shaking and crying slightly.

Dean cadence: do you think this could be travel sickness?

Indigo zap: *sigh* yeah I do get it quite badly that’s why I usually sit at the front of the bus, but cinch wouldn’t let me she said only winners sit at the front.

Dean cadence: ok well we’re nearly back at CPA there is still a bit of time left in the school day, but I’ll call your parents and get them to come and pick you up early ok?

Indigo zap: ok thank you dean cadence.

Dean cadence: no problem.Indigo zap had been picked up by her mother who was not happy about principle cinch’s treatment towards her daughter. Yeah sure cinch didn’t know about indigo’s travel sickness as nobody did, but apparently she just sat at the front of the bus completely ignoring what was going on at the back.

Indigo was sat on the sofa with one of the blankets that was already on there watching a film, she had changed into her pyjamas when her mother walked into the room, she had just gotten off the phone with cadence saying to not send indigo to school for the next couple of days.

Her mother sat down next to indigo and started to run her hand through her hair. She could see that her daughter was exhausted from the events on the coach and thought she could do with a rest.

Lightning: why don’t you try and get some sleep? You look tired. She continued to stroke her daughter’s hair.

Indigo zap: yeah I think I might I just can’t seem to stop shivering.

Lightning: that’ll be from the shock. She had already taken indigo’s temperature and although it was slightly higher than usual it wasn’t at fever level so that was something at least.

Lightning: you’ll feel better once you’ve had a sleep.

Indigo zap: ok.

Her mother stood up and pulled the covers further up and then kissed indigo’s forehead, as she left the room she turned the tv off and the lights down.

After a few hours of sleep indigo was feeling much better.
