Lavender Feathers

"How could you forget about us?" asked a blue mare with a rainbow mane.

"I have not forgotten about YOU, I SWEAR!" the Nestling tried to explain.

"LIAR!" Rainbow Dash shouted at her. "You made your life as an griffon, and you think you can forget about us?" she continued.

"N-NO BELIEVE ME!" Twilight cried, trying to calm the situation. HER FRIENDS gathered around her, looking expressionless at the frightened Nestling.

"YOU DISSAPOINTED ME TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" Twilight turned back, seeing Celestia with rage in her purple eyes.

"P-PRINCESS YOU'RE HERE!" Twilight made a good face to the bad game.

"YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO CALL ME LIKE THAT" she angrily shouted "YOU DESERVE TO LAY IN THE TARTARUS"

"N-" before Twilight could answer anything, she fell into the abyss, making a loud scream.

Twilight woke up with a loud screech and woke up her mother. Her mother, seeing the horror in her daughter's eyes, began to stroke her head and quickly took the claw from her head, when she felt her face being hot.

"GRAVIS CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE!!"

"W-what happened?" asked, barely conscious griffon, lying on the couch.

"LAVENDER HAS 104°F FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE!!" she cried with panic in her voice. The terrified father ran quickly to the telephone.

The doctor took the thermometer from Twilight's beak and studied it. He also gave her ibuprofen, then he sat down at his bench.

"What about her doctor?" the worried father asked. The doctor looked at worried parents and then looked at his documents.

"I'm afraid that your daughter got a fever because of fear" The doctor replied correcting his coat. In both parents the feathers reared up.

"What do you mean?" her mother asked with slight anxiety. "Do you think that we are bad parents?"

"Of course not" he answered. "I meant she could have a bad dream"

"How can a bad dream cause a fever?" her father asked. "Lavender is a strong griffon"

"Dunno" the doctor answered. "But you can guess that she misses someone"

After returning home, her parents put Twilight on a nest and covered her with a blanket so she would not be cold. The fever was the first disease that Twilight underwent, Twilight's parents called for a babysitter, because they themselves had to buy ibuprofen from the prescription. After waiting for half an hour, the babysitter finally came. For Twilight, not knowing where she seemed to be familiar.

"Please, take care of our daughter Miss..."

"... Gilda ... just Gilda ..."

"Milk for Lavender is in the kitchen" her mother said to Griffoness.

"...Yeah...yeah ... I will remember" Gilda continued to look at the Nestling.

"...And remember, apply her hot water bottle to her head if she was shaking with cold." her father added. After these words, Twilight's parents left. Gilda turned to the Nestling lying on the nest. Twilight always remembered Gilda as "the evil one" that frightened Fluttershy.

As the teenage griffoness began to approach her, Twilight tried to step back, but her limbs refused to obey because of weakness. However, Gilda did something that Twilight did not expect from her. She laid down and propped Twilight under her chest. It turned out that Griffoness was trying to warm up The Nestling. Twilight was surprised by the fact that Gilda did not care that she could get the flu.

"Shhh... It's okay dweeb" she said pressing Twilight to her chest.

Twilight felt all the warmth from Gilda's body pass to her, and unable to resist the sensation, the Nestling huddled closer to Griffoness and fell asleep.

Twilight could not remember how much she slept, but her ears began to hear some humming, but even her eyes refused to obey her, and she could not open them. So she decided to listen to the melody, because it was the only thing she could do. The melody resembled the one that her mother sang after hatching.

She heard the sounds of stamping, and felt Gilda put a bottle of milk in her beak. She felt her hold her head and keep the bottle from falling from her beak, which made Twilight uncomfortable.

"I would not be a good babysitter if I did not feed you." she giggled.

Although it was not seen, Twilight rolled her eyes, and she returned to eating. she felt then how she lifted her up and patted her on the back. Twilight coughed and opened her eyes with all her might.

The Nestling squealed cheerfully when she managed to open her eyes. She regained feeling in her claws and wings, but she started to panic when she did not feel in her hind legs. She knew... Something was wrong with her.

"Something wrong, friend?" she asked worriedly.

Twilight coughed, giving a sign "Yes".

Gilda laid the nestling in a lying position and touched it all over her body, checking if she was in pain. Teenage griffin began to touch her claws to her hind legs, and so on and on, which was very much like a massage for Twilight. Gilda then turned Twilight on the back to check her wings.

As she touched her back, Twilight began to squeak and curl in pain, and she tried to take the claws of her babysitter. Gilda, seeing the behavior of her ward, decided to take it from her back.

"Shhh… it's okay dweeb" Gilda said without letting her know that she was worried. In her eyes you could see she was worried about the Nestling.

Twilight looked at the nervous babysitter and began to cry. She did not even know herself because of the pain or excess of emotion. Gilda, trying to calm the crying griffon, just put her under to warm her up.

"Shhh…" were the only words that Gilda spoke to her. At the time, Twilight felt her warmth at her heart, and hugged the big griffon. However, back pain was strong enough to cause her to cry more loudly.

"I'm calling your parents ... They should take you to the hospital." she said.

Without a moment's reflection, Gilda handed the phone over and picked up the phone, dialing the number.

"Hello?... Something is wrong with your daughter"
