Hospital visit
You are Limestone Pie, you are currently strolling the roaring streets of Ponyville marketplace. The place was filled with Ponies and occasional Somecreatures buying and selling wares and goods to this place. The streets were filled and traffic was expected with me and my Sister Pinkie, we are currently trying to squeeze through the crowd and unto Pinkie’s foster guardian and their foalsitter.
Naturally I got a little grumpy and salty with the people that touched me, but Pinkie was there to guide me out so I skipped that part, and as I monologue we were approaching the bakery that Pinkie works for. She said ‘that the Cakes are currently on their little vacation with the foals and they were going back tomorrow, and tomorrow is going to be another work day for her and today where going to have a ‘little’ discussion on things.’
“I don’t get it Limey? Why are you being so mean to nonnie when he’s around?” Pinkie asked as she hopped to the front door.
“I don’t know, I guess I’m still distrustful after the-“ A finger lightly pressed your lip, making you stop talking about the very depressing topic.
“But you said you don’t want to talk about It anymore?” She tilted her head in confusion while still pressing her finger your maw, you pried it off slowly and said,
“Well learning lessons is really important and all, but..” you sit up on your chair to make this as comfortable as possible, “..history repeats itself, you know” You gave your sister a knowing stare and she nodded at that response.
“So wait? How are you going to tell Nonnie about this? You said in your letters that you sent, that you’ve treated him bad ever since he arrived on the farm” She gave you a questioning tilt while simultaneously maintaining her giddy up self, sometimes you question her act sometimes.
“That’s what I feared” you sighed insecurely and gave droop down you ears as Anon would likely reject you for everything you did when he stayed in farm. Maybe you were just too harsh on him for something as little for dropping a fork on the floor. You began to think anxiously about Anon, how would he react on how would you help to control your temper that is very fiery inside and your very commanding attitude, you don’t know.
You and your sister are just sitting quietly inside her room, sitting on the chairs, each of you thinking different but the same root of processing on how to apologize to Anon…
Of what felt like minutes has passed, you shot a stare at Pinkie again, she gasped while pointing up her accusing finger up in the sky.
“I got it! We should invite him to a party!” Pinkie brain-childed as she disappeared and reappeared in front of you and placed a paper note in front of you and said “You are invited to Pipsqueak’s Birthday party Limestone Pie and also our special guest, Anon!” She raised her arm and flaid it around and said “It is going to be fun!” And with that she descended downstairs but can still hear her happy cry of joy downstairs. You blinked of the sudden surge of randomness, but you better hope that Pinkie didn’t planned on anything crazy between you and Anon, because if she did well, you better prepare the scarf to cover yourself.

You are still Limestone and right now you are throwing a ball in front and back to you, kind off when prisoners are bored and found a bouncy ball, you have no idea what to do though. Mother said that you should watch over Anon when in your visit in Ponyville but she did include you to socialize with you bubbly sister and with her other friends, the town went on undergoing changes ever since the newly made school of friendship was made near Princess Twillight’s castle. You were in awe and astonishment when you see everycreature in there, it was a sight but you didn’t have enough time to tour around the place because you need to watch over Anon, speaking of which you looked at the clock in the wall and saw the time.
Gazing at the clock for a while you sighed and grumbly paced a few things yourself, you grab a few trinkets when you were visiting the market and go towards Ponyville hospital which is in the middle of nowhere, you grabbed your jacket inside your packed backpack and go outside. The cold in Ponyville was really nortorious when in night, especially when it’s near hearts warming eve.
You can see your vapor leaving your warm body and your furred hand without any feature of nails, unlike Anon’s of course. Things inside the little bag were bouncing a little including the currency inside, keeping yourself warm. You blew a warm breath on your cupped mouth, it was warm and lively that you even rubbed it on your fur.
Then you looked at Ponyville’s local flower stand, they all have so many varieties but at the same aim, to please the giver, maybe you should give Anon a flower and apologize to him for lashing at him for giving you the weird feelings whenever he is near you, and perhaps you two would be friends… if it wasn’t for the experience that you had with colts when you were younger.
You sighed and decided to approach the mare occupying the stand and politely said.
“How much for a flower” Your voice was much deeper than you anticipated but it would do.
His ears flicked and shot you a stare and a his eyebrow raised quickly and said, “Sorry I was daydreaming” He excused herself to straighten himself and said, “What can I get you?”
“Any flower that is cheap” you tried to diminish the conversation as you were currently not that much in the mood right now.
“Ah of course, here’s the cheapest that we have available right now ma’am”
You grabbed a single yet good conditioned flower that is colored yellow, you do not know what types of flower this is since you live in a farm rock, you sighed thinking of how much the damage would be on your bits.
He fixated his eyes and mouthed, “How much?” you waited while he was still calculating the damage albeit slowly
He shifted his seat and said, “Are you new in Ponyville?” he added whilst also pointing at you.
Your attention was perked and you responded by nodding, ever since Pinkie’s misadventure happened you were practically being a sister to her in this place for once.
The mare all of a sudden had his eyes went to you and said, “Wait, I think I recognize you”
You rolled your eyes and said “Of course you do” you were expecting a kind and graceful acknowledgement but instead he went to the obvious path.
“You’re Pinkie’s sister right?” He said almost excitedly, it did not amused you though.
“Yes, that’s right” You did not came here to chitchat with a stranger, but you can talk abou-
“Also are you the ‘Victim’ from that crazed stallion?” He asked in his ignorance.
Your ears went up and stared at him with concealed strong disappointment as well with anger. He looked at you for a few millisecond and then his mind registered.
He cupped both hand on her big mouth while his eyes went wide in astonishment and said “Oh! I’m so sorry for being so insensitive, It’s just that I had no idea- I’ll just s-stop talking now” He nervously let out a breathy sighed as he tried to make the situation less awkward. You on the other hand were partially flooded with such a painful memory that you even managed to cringe expressively.
The stallmare looked at you worriedly and squeaked “I’m sorry” He whispered as he looked at you with apologetic eyes.
You regain composure and added “It’s okay, just don’t be impulsive alright?” even though he offended you beyond, he did apologize so you just have to forgive him.
But that doesn’t mean you fully forgave him yet.
You decided to just end it and dismissively said “Just give me the flowers” You flowed the words with unchanging expression that’ll make your sister Maud take her attention to you.
He nodded and added another profused apologies before finally giving you the flowers with discreet discounted prices. “It’s on the me” She says before the two of you exchanged goodbyes.
As you trotted towards an closing street, the sidewalks were filled with stalls of whom, the Ponies and a Griffon were closing it at near midnight. The walk was uneventful and filled with lingering sensation of enlightenment of Luna’s moon. You looked at the sky while also keeping you eyes on the street, the moon was refreshing this time of the day, your mind then flashed slowly to the Mare’s comment when she actually knew what happened to you. Maybe she heard the right rumor or she heard the it from a friend or something, you do not know but the anxiousness is sticking to you, but deciding to let go of the past is never an easy feat and you knew it since you can’t let these grudges go. you may have been a little sexist nonetheless you have to try and let go.
Sighing with vapor coming out of your maw you looked forward and readied yourself for an apologizing to Anon, with internal monologue on your side to keep yourself steady on your speech of apology
'Maybe love can change anypony's mind, hmm maybe' with that you head off into the snowing fog.

You are Anon, right now you are currently looking at the hospital window, which is next to you fortunately enough. You focused your view on the bland but intentional village house, you saw a mare and a stallion both holding the hands of their filly the simple yet heartwarming sight was enough for you to rememerge the memory of home and it's peaceful content, You never told Twilight the whole story about your home, in fact you actually lied about thankfully Applejack wasn't there when you did it, that mare is a living lie detector most of the times when you are with her, the last time you were caught lying, she urged you to come up clean and honest with your words, And you said sure then changed your mind after the encounter.
A knock came came in and a greetful sight came to you in full force, It's Pinkie and her friends, err some of them anyway.
What you saw was Pinkie, Applejack and Twillight with some'creatures' behind them, you widen your eyes then quickly calmed down, 'Why now!' you hufffed, obviously displeased with the situation since you worked at the rock farm for a reason.
"That's a human?" A orange reptilian emphasized, with a quality of tomboy-ish voice "thought he would be much bigger." she then vaped a small cloud of smoke out of her nose.
You unexpectedly smirked at that remark and said "that's the way the cookie crumbles" in which she returend with a confused eyebrow 'Now since when do lizards have eyebrows?'
Twilight intervened up and said "Sorry for the inconvenience Anon but the students insist on seeing you, Since your the only one in this world." Twilight ended it with a sheepish hand movement, which indicates something since you don't know body reading about hor- Ponies.
Twilight then inhaled asa if waiting for a perenial moment"A i would like to introduce you to-"
"Your a human!" A colorful voice came out of nowhere and felt a vibration on your cot, forcing you to turn around and see what the ruckus was about.
Looking at the perpetrator she was beneath your bed studying your limp and neck, as you looked at her, she has a beak and a purple hued fluff with a blue fin like hair 'What?' .
"Oh wow what is this, *Gasp* what is this!" The the griffon then proceeded to touch my nose, much to my discomfort i assumed this looks cute on a outside perspective but to me this is just plain w-.
"Ow, Stop it" I cupped my nose in annoyance, She is just like Pinkie when i first met the 6 heroines, Doesn't know about personal space and needs to backup since her 'fingers' are basically dull toothpicks "Give me some personal space will you?" I basically just whispered the shout since i know she is Pinkie alike, Well in a birb.
"Oh, sorry mister" She sheepishly scratched her head and backed off the bed, leaving you comfortable once again in your own personal space with a reliefed sigh you asked why are they all here.
Twilight's ear flicked and said " We are just here to visit you here Anon, and also ask you how you are doing" Twilight said in a benevolent way as possible, trying to appeal both sides of her and your's.
You look behind her and saw another figure, this time an bug, and by that you mean it's unbelievable, a colorful yet soft looking bug came behind Twilight, She has a pink back and a dull grey front, this was strange and really, what would you expect a anthropod being anthropomorphize was beyond science, it is supernatural.
"h-hello, Mr Anon" you snapped out of your disbelief and saw the bug was staring at you with timid intentions, you can tell since it her body gestures are showing.
"What are you?" You requested, still in a disbelieving trance.
She looked a bit surprised before introducing herself "My name is Ocellus and i'm a changeling" She added "I'm surprised you haven't, heard of us" She then finished and goes back being quiet, maybe because of your far off stare or maybe the room was staring at her, who knows.
You suavely adjusted your blanket and get in a comfortable position, maybe the trip to the hospital won't be so bad afterall.
"so" you started "what now" you smirked as you settled in a awkward moment, with the living lie detector.
"For starters" an lazy yet liberal voice was heard on the far corner, You looked on that corner and saw a anthropomorphize earth pony whom was staring at you with liberal lifestyle "Who are you?" He pointed at you and his friends looked at you with eager and (some) impatient intent.
You took a breath and let it all out "My name's Anonymous(you) and i'm a human who is stuck in this world, with a grumpy mare" You smirked, and they were confused.
.
.

And you are Limestone Pie, Always grumpy yet with a gentle heart, You looked at the hospital in the snowing fields, The pathway towards the hospital was snowed clogged, snowflakes were reigning down with beatiful anticipations and snow was covering the path like a sand.
You were just done furnishing your apology monologue and maybe it's time to say sorry to Anon, you know that this is below you but you just have to, without conditions too.
As you were about to take another step you saw one of the flowers blow off out of the bonquet, you catch it in midair before it blow off far away from you.
'Ugh! how long is this blizzard going to end?!' You thoughtfully vented the frustrations, you were emotionally tired and needed and scape to all this strss, maybe this is your trial of being mean to Anon almost everytime you see...unless you were sympphatizing a wrong cause, you made your way back into the yesterdays and history, he snucked into your room, he (maybe) planned ahead his actions or maybe you are overthinking the situation.
"Agghhhh!" you groaned in strained distressed, just were you about to apologize to him you went over your head and screwed it up, a clash of thoughts washed over you and amidst it all is an abducted apology letter, a speech to say you are sorry ad held your actions against him for the past history.
*Thunk*
"Ow!' you snapped out of your discomforting resonant once you hit something in front of you, you looked forward and sheepishly looked at any bystaders that sa it, you collided with a wall without looking.
This time though, you were shaking breathing shortening as you looked at the bonquet of flowers that you hed in your limb, what now? you lost the nerve to apologize to Anon and worst of all you are awrily twisted a put-on thought apology in a meddling conflict of your own, you-
"Limey!" an brigh voice came out of nowhere and in a instant you inwardy cursed whatever spirit that you have upsetted.
a squish on you cheeks were felt, though it were mittens Pinkie owned, she made it smell like vanilla somehow.
"You were gone for a looong time and now you are here-" you discreetly tried to hide the bonquet of flowers on your back and with a twitch of your own sibling she sensed it "*Gasp* What is that for!?" She basically pointed at the bonquet you have in a awkward position, without the consent of physics of course.
You tried to play it cool and hastily scrawled up an excuse "Just for some, uhh, Creature" you put up a awkward smile as you were now distressed as you tried to make up other reasons, coupled with other dealings you can't focus all senses properly.
She pouted and putting her fingers up her chin and said "hmmmm" she narrowed her eyes and eventually squinted it for trying to hard, you were now ready to bolt out of th hospital and go back to th rock farm and rater go there instead, but-
"Ohhh! it's for Anon right!" she suddenly guessed correctly, she didn't see your sstartled face as you sputter of how your own sister knew about your former plan.
"Well just on't stand there" she grabbed your shoulders and pushed you inside the room "go get her Filly!" she cheerfully shouted as she excitedly closed the door behind you while also pushing you inside.
You, mean while were thinking of how to escape this situation, you were already stressed before but now was the perfect time to call it beyod stress, you were now scared.
.
.
.
You are Anon, and right now you were trying to avoid Applejack's gaze as she kept on staring at you with her brutally honest mind, heart and mouth, in which you learned to respect and fear as you and Ocellus, the Changeling as 'she' was called since they're insects they sometimes do not have any gender and instead asexual, maybe that or you were misinformed when you grew up but whatever.
"So, uh if this is not a bad question but, where do you live before you were here in Equestria?" The wuggly bug asked in a timid voice, Seriously you could cuddle all of the living things in this room because somehow they all looked cuddly when you see them, you learned to bury all of those thoughts aside as it would emberass you in the future, but also them too getting hug by a small gorilla you are.
"Uhmm, mister Anonymous why were you laughing?" The changeling, Ocellus noticed and you replied.
"Something funny" Then dismissed it with a wave of a hand, although Applejack was here you knew she was going to interject anytime soon if you aren't careful with your words.
The Ocellus's 'ears' perked up and added "You didn't answer my question" She then stared at your eyes and waited for a answer.
"Well my home was near a mining company" Apllejack's right ear flicked, you noticed and tried to tell more half-truths " I was raised by my parents, me, ma, pa, and bebby bear were a family" A stang came right in the home " Ma was a -a " you stuttered but came to a relatively close truth " Cashier, which is closely resembles a stallmare, and my Dad was a acolyte, he served the church and faithfully put his life to me, ma and bebby bear." You forced a smile as the memories of your family grasps you.
Apllejack knew your sorrows and said "A'ight, it's enough questions fer today" She then whistled and rounded the students towards the door, they were dicontent and expressed it by saying words and plain groans, but nevertheless accepted, they were near the door with Apllejack behind them... but not before a familiar figure came.
"Oh come on Pinkie just let me go!" A rash voice came, 'Yep, it's definitely her'
Then another push came "C'mons sis! You two will get together and apologize to him!" Apologize? Limestone? mind confused.
"I-" Limestone then saw you staring at her and she frozed a bit but not before Pinkie gave another push and succesfully grabbed Twillight by the arm then zipped away and closed the door with a loud thunk.
"..."
"..."
We stared at each other wordlessly and tried to throat the words out but can't, and she seems to unable to do it either, She walked towards the chairs that were brought in and sat on one, she then opened her maw but nothing came, wordless.
Snapping out of it you spoke first "Close you mouth or else a fly would get inside" She became annoyed and tensed that she closed her mouth shutly and angrily said "Shut it Anon! The room is not even dirty either" She narrowed her eyes and tried to impose herself as big and threatening, instead made her looke cute like a dog trying to command another puppies inside her box.
Having enough of the reaction you continued the conversation through "You know Limey, yo-" Suddenly being cut off by the sudden move, you grab something in your face and were unable to hide the surprise from you face, She bought you a bonquet of flowers.
Trying to hide a blush was a hard move, especially when Ponies think that hated you, was secretly having a crush on you and would not admit it! Or they don't cause you know, secluded mining family and stuff.
Pickinup the bonquet, you stared at her unexpectedly at her sudden outburst when all along she was going to give you flowers instead of a smacking on your cheeks. She and you went silent for a while and the only sound was made was the loud pain moaned in separate room of the hospital, 'its nice of them to give me such a space'
"Soo, Anon I uhh" she uncharacteristically spoke up, which is unlike and almost below her "sorry for" she mumbled "The stuff that I did to you and you don't deserved it really" she then smiled,e corner of her mouth twitched and you lately noticed it.
Obviously she was forcing her smile so you get to the cue too, "Me too" you then scritched your top head in comfort, the bed is really ni- No focus you're apologizing to Limestone.
"For what exactly?" She poked quietly, which was VERY unlike her, curios you asked why she's like this
"Limey, wh-" you were then cut off by a grunt that resembles a frustrated bull and interjected "Stop calling me Limey Anon"...rejection?
"Sorry to say this Anon but" she then pried her hands open stared at her own hands and added " I think this isn't what I wanted" she then looked at the small desk next to your bed.
"I know" her ears perked, then looked straight at your eyes wit hopeful intent.
"You do?"
"Yeah"
