MAFIA: Manticore Prime City

[5 minutes later] Examination Room

Red and Dashie followed the receptionist to a white unicorn nurse who looked at her clipboard then at the kids. "Red and Rainbow Dash?"

The receptionist walked away from them as Red and Dashie both nodded. "I'm Nurse Redheart...if you could please follow me to the room you'll be staying in..."

"Okay, miss..." Red replied as he and Dashie followed Redheart to the room they would be staying in.

Redheart stopped in front of a hospital room and pointed to it. "Here's where you'll be staying in...Room 12" She opened the door and the kids walked inside with smiles on their faces when they looked around. Inside the room was a soft adjustable bed with a table on wheels, A large television hanging on the wall, and there was even a bathroom inside. To them, it looked like their room from back in their old home.

Red and Dashie both sat down on the bed and took off their warm clothing as Redheart approached them, turning the page on her clipboard. “Okay Red...I'm gonna check your wrist to see the damage before the doctor arrives okay?"

"Okay...um..Miss, Do I have to take the bandages off?" the red pegasus asked, knowing full well he would have to but decided to act like he didn't know. "I don't want to scare my sis if they take a look and move me without saying why..."

The nurse nodded. “You’re gonna have to son...we have to see the damage...”

"Okay..." Red then slowly began to unwrap his bandaged hand and when he did a strong disgusting smell started to fill the room slowly, when he fully unwrapped it, he saw his wounded hand was leaking some yellow stuff. "What's that?"

Redheart and Dash gasped and covered their noses to keep the smell from entering their noses anymore. “Jesus, How long has your wrist been like that?! It’s leaking pus!”

The red pegasus answered nonchalantly. "A few months I think? I fell while flying and I tried to grab a branch...all I heard was a snapping sound and my wrist started to hurt a lot and leak blood...I saw the damage and there was even a bone sticking out..."

He watched the nurse walk to a pager on the wall as Red continued. "Oh also...I wanted to know why it's been feeling heavy as well..."

She looked back at him arching an eyebrow. “Heavy, what do you mean heavy?

"Well...sometimes my arms start to become heavy like a rock...they even looked like them sometimes and I could barely move them..."

Redheart started to think. "Hm...could I check your blood?" She walked over to a drawer by the bed and put on some gloves, while also taking out a small blood tube, a needle, an alcohol pad, and a blue rubber wrap.

Red nodded. "Sure..."

He watched Redheart pull up a chair. "Show me your left arm..." The red pegasus extended his left arm towards her and she started to wrap his forearm with the blue rubber wrap showing his vain. She rubbed his arm where the vain was with the alcohol pad and put the needle in his skin, his blood coming out and flowing from the tube into a valve."

Red watched as Redheart took the needle out and tell him to press a small pad on his arm as she closed the valve of his blood. "Alright...I'm gonna run some tests while the operation is going on and I'll tell you what's wrong..."

"Operation?"

"Yes, we need to get your wrist fixed now!"

Red arched his eyebrow. "But my wrist hasn't hurt for a while and I haven't seen it leak this stuff till today...same for the smell...my sister and I changed the bandages till our parents caught us..."

Nurse Redheart shook her head as she put Red's blood in a container and threw away the needle, alcohol pad, and the pad Red was pressing into his arm, replacing it with a bandage. "Son, this is serious...we need to get you to the operating room now...if we leave it like that any longer there may be a chance you’ll lose your entire hand!”

Dashie gasped and hugged Red’s good arm tightly. “No, I don’t want Big Brother to lose his hand!!”

Red hugged his sister in response to what she said. "It's okay sis..." He looked at the white unicorn with a concerned look. "But I'm still surprised it's this bad...again it didn't hurt till today..."

The nurse grabbed her clipboard again and wrote down what Red said, looking at him. “If what you say is true then you’re slowly losing feeling in your hand...and if you lose feeling in it that means we have to remove it before the infection spreads through the rest of your body. But If it hurts then that's a good thing, there’s still a chance to save it...”

"Okay...should I go where I need to go ma'am?"

Before Redheart could answer, 2 doctors came in with a stretcher, the nurse pointing to them.

"They'll take you to the OR..." Nurse Redheart said, the doctors told Red to get on to which he did. They then proceeded to roll Red out of the room into the hallway, Dashie following them with a bit of tear in her eyes.

The red pegasus looked at Dashie and saw that she was worried, smiling at her. "I'll be OK Dashie...you don't need to worry about me..."

"But big brother, I don’t want you to lose your hand!” Dashie exclaimed.

"I won't, you heard the doctors it's not gonna happen..."

The doctors pushed Red and the stretcher to the operating room, two doctors held Dash outside of the room to prevent her from entering, Dashie started to sob. “BIG BROTHER!!!”

A male nurse held Dashie tightly. “I’m sorry little filly...the doctors need to concentrate you have to wait outside...” Dashie stopped struggling and wrapped her arms around the doctor, hugging him and crying into his smock to which the doctor allowed considering she's just a little filly.

Operating Room - (Red)

Red heard her cry and called out from the room. "Dashie...be a big girl, I'll be okay, I'll be out soon!" He looked at the doctors seeing them going and washing their hands, putting on gloves, caps, and face masks. "This won't take long will it?"

A female doctor spoke to him to answer him. “Well, first of all, we have to get all of that pus out along with putting your wrist back in perfect alignment and sewing your skin and fur back together...We’d say maybe a couple of hours...”

"Okay...will I be awake for this?"

A male doctor answered him now. “No, we’re gonna put you under with numbing gas...it’ll put you to sleep and also numb the pain...”

"Okay, sir..." Red watched as another doctor came over and put an oxygen mask on his face, the doctors turning on the gas to knock him out. The red pegasus felt a bit woozy till he slowly closed his eyes, sleeping soundly as the doctors went to work repairing his wrist.

Red: "I don't remember what came next, I was knocked out when they started to fix my wrist..."

Spike: "No shit..."

Dash: "Well I can tell you what I was doing when Red was having his surgery."

Spike: "Do prey tell...what were you doing, Little Dashie?"
