Lemon/Indigo one shots.

No one other than lemon zest and sugarcoat knew about indigo zaps epilepsy as she had always kept it a secret, because she didn’t want people to look at her in a different way or for it to get in the way of her sports, but that was all about to change.

The shadow 5 were hanging out outside crystal prep when their phones all beeped. It was the group chat that they shared with the rain booms.

(On tex) twilight: do you girls want to come over to sunsets this afternoon? She’s got the new Tirek video game and wants to have a tournament for her gaming channel.

Lemon zest: they want us to go to sunsets to play the new Tirek game, you girls in?

Indigo zap: I am!

Sour sweet: me too!

Sunny flare: sure why not?

Sugarcoat: got nothing better to do.

The girls went over to sunsets apartment where she and the other rainbooms were already set up for the tournament.

Sunset: hey girls you came?!

Sugarcoat: of course we came why wouldn’t we?

Sunset: I just thought that you would have something better to do.

Indigo zap: hey we might be a much friendlier and calmer group, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to whoop your ass at any chance that I get!

Sugarcoat: ( sarcastically) so beautifully put zap.

Twilight: so any way I’ve already set up the teams.

(The teams)
Twilight x sunset
Applejack x sugarcoat
Pinkie x lemon
Rainbow x indigo
Rarity x sunny
Fluttershy x sour sweet

All sans twilight: yeah that’s fine!

The tournament was going great all teams had been eliminated apart from twilight and sunset and rainbow and indigo, this didn’t surprise anyone, twilight was really good at strategies and the other 3 just hated losing and played video games on a daily basis. This was the first time that dash and indie had played with each other instead of against. It was well until they reached the boss level which had a lot of flashing lights.

Rainbow dash: ha! There’s no way you too are going to beat us at the boss level, I’ve played more of these that twilight has read books! And I’m sure indie is the same, right zap? Indigo didn’t answer straight away so rainbow tried again.

Rainbow dash: earth to indigo did you hear what i said?

Indigo zap: uh? Yeah sorry Rainbow, I just zoned out for a minute.

Applejack: you’ve been rubbing your temple for a while now, is everything alright?

Indigo zap: yeah I’m fine let’s just get back to the game.

The girls carried on playing with the rest of their friends cheering, well screaming in pinkies case. The flashing lights seemed to be getting worse, rainbow noticed that the other avatar on her side of the screen had stopped moving.

Rainbow dash: zap you do realise that you actually need to move the joystick right? Indigo didn’t hear rainbow call to her nor did she hear any of the others when they tried her, the lights were making her feel sick and she could feel that a seizure was going to happen and then her secret would be revealed.

Rainbow dash: indie? Just has rainbow said that indigo’s eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fell off of the seat she was sitting on.

Fluttershy: maybe the game was getting to much for her? That’s when indigo started to convulse.

Rarity: girls look!

Pinkie pie: oh my goodness should we call an ambulance or something?!

Sunny flare: yeah I think we ought to this isn’t normal!

Sour sweet: I’ll do it!

Sugarcoat and lemon zest: no wait! We don’t need an ambulance.

Twilight: what?! Of course we do!

Lemon zest: (sigh) indigo has epilepsy, it’s normal for her to have seizures every now and then. The flashing lights must of coursed this one.

Sunset: so what do we do?

Sugarcoat: just put her on her side and place a pillow under her head, fetch her a glass of water . She’ll be tired when it’s over we’ll take her to the doctor in the morning if she still isn’t feeling well.

The girls did what sugarcoat had told them it had been about 5 minutes and the fit was just starting to slow down.

Applejack: how long does this usually last for?

Lemon zest: not long. Usually 5 or 10 minutes give or take.

Sunny flare: I do have a question, how come you and sugarcoat seemed to know about this and we
Didn’t?

Sugarcoat: indigo’s first seizure was about 6 months ago it was at game practice I think it was caused by stress.

* flashback*
Coach: alright team you are now dismissed from practise, and zap?

Indigo zap: yes coach?

Coach: I need you hear tomorrow at 6 to go over the regime again ok?

Indigo zap: yes coach. This has been indigo’s life for the past month this was her first time being crystal preps captain and the pressure was starting to get to her.

( in the changing rooms) sugarcoat: wow that was an intense training session. Didn’t you think so zap? Uh indigo? Thats when indigo then fainted and started to shake. This made sugarcoat panic.

Sugarcoat: indigo! Don’t worry I’ll go and get someone! After sugarcoat has called for help from the teachers an ambulance was called and the seizure had stopped. Sugarcoat was stroking indigo’s hair as she had now sat back up.

Indigo zap: *whimmpers* what happened? She had tears in her eyes.

Sugarcoat: shh it’s ok I think you just had a seizure, how are you feeling?

Indigo zap: sick.

Sugarcoat: ok well the ambulance is here and the paramedics are going to want to talk to you ok?

Indigo zap: ok. After she was taken to hospital the doctors said that the seizure was stress related and let her go home.

* Back to the present day*

Sunset: ok so that was a stress induced seizure how did she end up with epilepsy?

Lemon zest: I guess it’s my turn to tell you my story.

* flashback*

Lemon zest: hey indie you wanna come over after school?

Indigo zap: sure why not? The girls went over to lemons to hang out, they were just talking when again indigo fainted and started to convulse. After about 20 minutes she woke up and realised that she wasn’t in lemons room anymore.

Indigo zap: what happened? Where am I?

Nurse: your in the in hospital sweetheart. You had a seizure, how are you feeling?

Indigo zap: sick and tired. Where’s lemon zest?

Nurse: your friend just went get a drink, she’s back now.

Lemon zest: indie! I’m so glad your alright!

Indigo zap: yeah lemon I’m fine.

Nurse: indigo have you had any kid of seizures before this one?

Indigo zap: yeah I had one about 4 months ago.

Lemon zest: what when?

Indigo zap: it was after practice, sugarcoat was there, they think it was stress related and tiredness. But i didn’t feel stressed or tired before this one.

Nurse: ok I’ll be back in a minute.

* back to the present *

Sugarcoat: about a month after the second seizure she was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Sour sweet: ok how come she told she told you two and not the rest of us? I mean I know you and lemon have always been closest to her, but even so.

Lemon zest: sour, indie didn’t choose to tell us, the only reason we knew was because the seizures happened in front of us.

Sugarcoat: yeah she made us swear not to tell anyone because she didn’t want people to look at her in a different way, or treat her any differently.

Fluttershy: has she ever had any other seizures other than those 2 and the one tonight?

Sugarcoat: probably but we’ve not seen them. That’s when twilight and rainbow came back in from the spare bedroom.

Applejack: how is she?

Twilight: sleeping. You sure she’ll definitely be ok in the morning?

Lemon zest: yeah positive. She might be a little tired and groggy , but after a full days rest she’ll be perfectly fine.

Sunset: ok I still feel kinda bad though, it was the game that caused it.

Sugarcoat: sunset , flashing lights are a common cause of seizures in epileptics, it could of happened at any moment. The important thing is that she gets some sleep. And so should the rest of us for that matter, I think it’s time we head home.

Sunset: why don’t you all stay here tonight? We can take indigo to the doctor in the morning then? The girls agreed and they all stayed at sunsets. The following morning after the had taken indigo to the doctor who just told her to take it easy and rest for a few days, things got back to normal.
