This is the last part of amputation, enjoy!

Just as tough as before

(Indigos point of view)

I had been crying every day since I got out of the hospital, at Rehab and at home fortunately I was able to hide it from everyone so no one noticed. I got a text from lemon zest saying that pinkie pie had invited us all to her house for a slumber party a long with the rainbooms. Of course I wanted to go but I was so scared of crying in front of them, what if they don’t think I’m as tough as they thought I was?

(No one point of view)

The girls all started to arrive at pinkies house, indigo was late because she was trying to calm herself down before she went , but because she was often late for things that didn’t involve competing there wasn’t a lot of suspicion raised about it.

“There’s being fashionably late and then there’s taking the piss!” Sour yelled in anger

“To be fair sour sweet she is on one leg at the moment, normally she would of used her motorbike” Sunny defended

“Well that’s not going to happen for a long time” sugarcoat piped up

After waiting for another 15 minutes indigo finally showed up, she had been crying but luckily for her no one noticed.

“Sorry I’m late pinkie I just forgot a few things” indigo told the party loving girl

“It’s fine zappie but are you ok?” Pinkie asked her

“Yeah I’m fine” was the only answer that was given

“Well now that everyone is here we can start the fun!” Rainbow exclaimed

The girls had ordered pizza and decided to put on a movie. They were about 15 minutes into the film when indigo got the urge to cry again. Not wanting to cry in front of her friends she asked pinkie where the bathroom was.

“It’s up the stairs and then on the left!” Pink told her in an excitiable voice

“Ok thank you” zap replied

It had been about 20 minutes and indigo still hadn’t returned from the bathroom. The girls were starting to get worried.

“I think somethings wrong “ twilight said

“So do I but what?” Applejack asked

“We need to find out” rarity stated, the others all nodding in agreement

“Yeah but who’s going to ask?” Sunny asked, an idea then popped into her head.” Sunset can’t you use your magic to find out what’s wrong?”

“I could but if something is bothering indigo zap then she needs to tell us herself” susnet answered

“Lemon zest you go and talk to her” sour sweet ordered the rock loving teen

“Why do I have to do it?” Lemon asked

“Your her best friend, she’s less likely to punch you” sour told her. Even though lemon didn’t like that answer it made sense. Lemon then made her way up to the bathroom, the door wasn’t locked so she able to just walk in. When she entered the bathroom she saw indigo sat in the toilet , she looked a mess, her eyes were red she had obviously been crying. Lemon then knelt down to her friends level and started Talking to her.

“Indy what’s wrong?” She asked in her most comforting voice. At first indigo zap didn’t reply and just sat there in silent, after about 5 more minutes she broke down in tears again. Lemon was able to grab hold of her as she went to punch the mirror in pinkies bathroom.

“Shh shh what’s wrong?” Lemon asked her friend as she just kept shushing her and rubbing her back. After a further 5 minutes indigo finally calmed down and was able to tell lemon zest what was going on.

“I just feel like nothing is going to be the same again, I’m never going to be able to play sports or do any of the other things I love to do!” Indy screamed and started to bawl again. This time lemon didn’t say anything and just started to rock her friend in hopes of calming her down. Eventually it worked.

“Indy listen to me, you will still be able to all those things” she told her

“Yeah but what if the others don’t think I’m as tough as they all thought?” “ what if they think I’m being a baby?!” Indigo asked her

“They won’t think that, come with me and you’ll see” lemon said gently dragging her back downstairs to the living room where the others were waiting. Indigo told them all about the way she was feeling and after she’d finished rainbow dash came up and gave her a hug.

“Listen zap your one of the toughest people I know , there no way a missing leg will change that. In fact I think it makes you even tougher that you were before” rainbow told her

“You all think this?” Indigo turned her attention to the rest of the girls.

“Hmm hmm” they said in unison

(Six weeks later)

Indigo zap was now using the prosthetic leg that the doctor had given her and with the plenty of physio thearapy and lots encouragement and support from her friends she was able to get back to old self.
