The Beginning of The Clown...

Ponyville Hospital:

5 AM Zephyr’s Hospital Room
Zephyr is waking up from long sleep after the surgery...

“Zeph? You’re awake!” - Rainbow Dash huged Breeze but she quickly released her embrace as her face turned red .
“Yeah, I’m awake.” - Zephyr said that with a short yawn.
“So, do you know where you are?” - Rainbow tried not to worry Zephyr too much.
“Yes, I know. Doctor told me everything.” - he answered.
“How is that possible? I was gone for an hour to get myself some food.” - Rainbow Dash pointed.
“And that’s when Doctor told me. It wasn’t a surprise when he told me about this sickness because i started to laugh when i woke up.” - Zephyr was smiling while saying this.
“And you fell asleep in an hour?” - that was stupid question, since she knew Zephyr.
“Rainbow i can fall asleep in one minhautehahahaHaHaHAHAHAHA...” - Zephyr couldn’t handle his laughter, he was laughing for few minutes. After he stoped they could finaly start talking again...
“I will never get used to it...” - Zephyr spoked first seeing that Rainbow couldn’t say a word.
“No worries I’m here to help you. And that laugh realy suits you.” - Rainbow finaly said something.
“Yeah... but what about other ponies?”
“What about them?”
“You know what’s the worst part of having a mental illness? It’s about that ponies expect you to behave as if you don’t.” - Zephyr said that hoping that she would understand what he had in mind.
“Don’t worry, Ponies aren’t like that! They will understand... Besides, it’s not a mental illness.” - Rainbow quickly pointed.
“Yeah i know it’s not but it looks like one and Ponies are like that!” - Zephyr tried to say it loud but he couldn’t because of medicines.
“No Zeph, they’re not. I know that!” - Rainbow maintained her opinion.
“So why am I here?” - After those words Rainbow couldn’t argue.
“Well I don’t know... yet! I’m gonna find out who did that to you!” - Rainbow stood up.
“Rainbow wait, aaand she’s gone...” - he apparently forgot that she is the fastest pony in equestria.

Ponyville Hospital:

8 AM Zephyr’s Hospital Room

“Hey Zephyr it’s me Fluttershy.”
“Hey, Big Sis!” - Zeph answered.
“Sorry i wasn’t around when you woke up, I was looking for our parents. And by the way, where is Rainbow?” - she asked as she didn’t saw her friend in the room.
“Yeah, she went to find out who attacked me and Pinkie. And before you say anything I know about my sickness.” - Zeph answered again to another question of Fluttershy. She noded.
“So, where are our parents? I thought they will arrive with you.” - Zephyr said that after noticing no one besides Fluttershy in the room.
“They’re busy...” - Fluttershy said that as quite as possible.
“They’re too busy to see their own son in hospital bed?” - he was furious but yet said it calmly.
“They will be here as soon as they will have time.” - Fluttershy didn’t wanted to tell real reason why they didn’t have time but Zephyr Breeze noticed it, he knew his big sister for his whole life.
“Where are they Fluttershy?” - this time Zephyr said it without any emotions.
“They’re emm... in Cloudsdale.” - Fluttershy finaly get courage to say anything at all.
“Yes they live in there, and?” - Zephyr still didn’t got his answer.
“And, they kinda... do.. don’t want to come here...” - Fluttershy stuttered.
“WHAT?!” - Zephyr cried.
“Calm down, let me finish. They don’t want to be here ‘cause, they’re scared... of your illness. Doctor think it might get worst if they get here.” - Fluttershy still hide some secret to herself but at least Zephyr believed her and didn’t deal with this topic anymore.
“Ok, I can understand that they can’t because of doctor but still maybe a letter or message through you or something...” - Zephy was sad but tried to look serious.
“Zeph, you just have to wait and it by the way it all will be over soon. You will be discharged from hospital at the end of the week.” - Fluttershy changed subject.
“Really?” - Zeph asked a little bit happy.
“Yes, and Pinkie says that you can go to her and she will help you start your career as Carnival.” - Fluttershy answered in her shy way.
“Wait, you know about me being Carnival?” - Zepyr asked a little terrified that his secret will see the days light.
“I know also about that you were kicked from your job and house. But don’t worry I’m not mad I know why you got kicked out so no fucks given.” - Fluttershy tried to put on a serious face while saying this.
“No fucks given? Are you trying to use youth slang?” - Zephyr smiled and laugh a bit.
“I’m trying but it’s not working...” - Fluttershy again tried to be serious.
“Well then. So about Carnival, I talked to Rainbow before you showed up and i have some negative thoughts about it.” - Zephyr said.
“What’s wrong?” - Fluttershy wanted to understand Zephyr thoughts.
“My sickness, it won’t help me in my job, even if i become party clown.” - Zephyr answered.
“What do you mean? Laughing is part of every clown.” - Fluttershy still didn’t get point.
“It’s not only about someone being happy, it’s about my feelings too... - Zephyr turned his head away.
“So you’re not happy when you’re laughing?” - Fluttershy asked.
“This is forced laughter not mine.” - Zephyr tried to get answer to her sister.
“...” - Fluttershy didn’t say anything she was waiting for Zephyr to say someting more.
“You can’t be happy and smile while laughing.” - Zephyr finaly made his point. Fluttershy now understand at least he hope so.
“Zephyr. Tell me why do we fall?” - Fluttershy asked.
“I don’t know. Why?” - Zephyr was suprised by that question.
“So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” - Fluttershy answered and after a short silence Zephyr spoked.
“You know what sis? You’re right. I know what to do! I will make this laughter part of my act! - Zephyr once again was happy.
“Wow, i thought it will take more time to convince you.” - Fluttershy was suprised.
“Yeah, maybe old Zephyr would take more time to convince but I’m no longer that guy. I’m Carnival and I’m not giving up so easily!” - Zephyr finally accepted who he really was. He was Carnival.
“So can I call you Carnival now? It’s a pretty good name...” - Fluttershy asked.
“Yeah, why not. Call me that if you want, and you know what. Tell all your friends that they can call me like that from now on. But don’t tell Pinkie I think i owe her something, and I want to tell it by myself.” - Carnival said to his sister and she noded.

This will be start of a new era for Equestria. Era of joy and laughter.
At least Zephyr belived it will be...
