Ignored

They waited for hours.

And then at last, the doctor emerged.

"Miss Belle was barely salvaged..." he said. "She may have one visitor at a time. We don't want to overload her."

There was a pause, before one of the two colts in the room spoke.

"Scoots should go in first."

The aforementioned filly simply nodded, looking to the colt.

"By the way Rumble, we should-"

He simply nodded, knowing what she would say.

The pegasus gave him a sad, knowing smile, walking to the doctor, who nodded, handing her a key and saying, "Room 205".

She simply nodded, trotting out the room, before speeding up her trot as she approached the room, unlocking the door and pushing it open.

She lay on the bed.

Peaceful and asleep, her chest barely rising and falling, she looked beautiful.

The pegasus approached, sitting on a stool near the bed.

"Hey Sweetie," she whispered, "you should wake up soon... please wake up soon... I need you... we all need you..."

She paused.

"Me and Apple Bloom are sorry for ignoring you..." she continued, "we were just distracted by schoolwork and our coltfriends, and..."

She sighed.

"I'm sorry... please wake up... I... I...

I love you."

Her eyes fluttered open, as she smiled at her, gently placing her hoof on hers.

"Sweetie-"

She smiled.

"I missed you Scoots."

"It's only been a few hours..."

"A few days, weeks, months, maybe years."

Guilt tugged at her heart.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay.

I forgive you."

With that, she leaned in, and connected their lips.

Into a kiss.

It lasted for a while, before Scootaloo pulled away.

She felt a warmth she'd never felt before.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
