Name: Lucky Star
Location: Fillydelphia South Side

Lucky Star winced as she moved and had to metaphorically bite her tongue to keep from crying out. She currently wasn't living up to her name as she put her hooves in front of her and pulled, another spike of pain radiating through her back leg and setting off the cuts along her body.

A few blocks back was an overturned delivery van where she had spent several hours trapped due her leg making crawling out through the open driver door above where she’d been laying rather difficult. She had been on her run when things started happening, she barely had time to register it when a speeding car blew through a light and t-boned her, sending the van out of control till it came to rest on its side.

She’d been stuck there ever since watching people run past her and ignore her yells for help so she sat there for hours till she had been able to painfully drag herself through the back of the van to reach those doors. Her leg had not liked her doing that, granted it did not like being dragged across the sidewalk either.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she pulled herself once more causing another shot of pain. She panted and once it dulled some she pulled again.

On and on, painful pull after painful pull she moved eventually cutting down an alley as it was a shortcut to….well she wasn't sure where she was going exactly but she pulled herself down the alley ignoring the smell as best as she could.

When she was part way down the alley a door opened and six ponies came out, a young mare and some fillies wearing red sashes and berets

“Alright if we see somewhere with food we can stop.” The mare was saying to a pegasus filly beside her.

“Grassy, some ones over there.” An earth pony filly said pointing to Lucky.

The mare, Grassy apparently looked. “Shit.”

The sash wearing fillies were already moving towards Lucky till Grassy got between them and here. “Stop, we don't even know her.”

“She looks hurt, she needs help.” A filly said.

“She could be faking it May.” Grassy said.

“Why would she do that?” May asked.

Grassy paused for a short time. “Fine…..” She said letting the fillies come over though she was watching Lucky like a hawk.

“Um…..hi? I'm Lucky…..Lucky Star….”

“Don’t look so lucky.” Grassy said and now that she was closer Lucky could see she was a teenager.

Before Lucky could reply there was a jolt of pain from her leg and she hissed before looking back to see one of the filly having poked it looking at Lucky. “It’s broken…..”The young pony said.

“Thanks….I hadn't noticed…” Lucky said, doing her best to sound as polite as she could, reminding herself she was just a foal.

“Saw careful, we don't want to hurt her.” May said and looked at Lucky. “Sorry…..” She said smiling.
“I got something we can use.” Another young filly said further down the alley walking back with two pieces of old rebar.

“That will work perfectly.” May said, nodding.

“Uh….work for what?” Lucky asked concerned.

“We might not look it, but we are trained in first aid.” May said proudly. “You're in good hooves with Filly Scout Troop 439!” She said taking the ascot from around her neck walking back to Lucky's leg. “Now this will hurt a bit.”

“Wait what w–” May gave Lucky's leg a yank and she cried out in pain seeing spots.

“Sorry, had to set it as best as we could before applying a splint.” A pegasus Filly said as May was tying the rebar to the leg.

“That should do it.” May said, stepping back.

Once the majority of the pain subsided Lucky had to admit it the pain was a lot more dull than it ever had been. “Now you won't be able to walk fully on it but we can help.” May said.

“Wait, you aren't suggesting we take her with us?” Grassy said from where she stood watching.

May looked at her. “Well we can’t leave her here, we’ve given her first aid which means she's our responsibility till we can pass her off to a doctor.” She said blinking as if that was the most obvious thing.

The younger fillies were already moving to help Lucky up.

“You have got to be kidding me, we have to keep moving and she is injured.” Grassy said.

“And as Filly Scouts we are supposed to render aid to those in need and I'd say she needs us.” May shot back and the other scouts got behind her.

Seeing this, Grassy scrubbed her mane in frustration. “Fine, fine she can come!” She said,

The scouts gave a small cheer before they helped Lucky to her hooves and May got on one side and Grassy reluctantly took another to support Lucky so she could walk as the group started to head down the alley

She couldn't put much weight on the splinted leg but she was moving a lot faster then she had before.

Looked like Lucky was back to living up to her name again.
