Jonathan's Wish

Jonathan’s Wish

Chapter 4

Jonathan slowly started to come to. The first thing he noticed was a sharp pain in his right wing as well as a tugging sensation. He tried to flex the wing and realized that he couldn’t move it, something was holding it in place. That caused him to snap awake and jerk his wing as he tried to roll over, but a purple light seemed to be holding not only his wing, but all of him in place.

“He’s awake!” He heard a strained voice off to his left, followed by an urgent if quiet voice on his right.

“Keep him still. I’m almost done. Aaand, there. Okay just let me leave and then you can let him go.” A steady if a bit quick clip-clop echoed briefly before all was quiet.

The purple light that was holding him in place faded and he lurched to his feet. This was a mistake as his head immediately swam, resulting in a hard face plant into the ground.

“Oooww.” he groaned, and blinked the spots away, before noticing five ponies, of different colors, staring at him with mixed expressions.

The orange and cyan ones wore a guarded look, while the yellow one had a look of concern. The white one looked like it was about to flee, while the purple one had a look of academic curiosity.

After a few moments of blinking his eyes and just staring, the first words out of his mouth were, “Where’s the pink one?” The statement got all the ponies to look at each other then back at the dragon with very confused expressions.

“Um, she went back to town to plan your welcome party.” the purple pony said. “May I ask what your name is?”

“It’s Jon… ah *cough* Aurora. Aurora Flight.” Jonathan said as he stretched his wings in an attempt to show off before wincing as a bolt of pain stabbed through his right wing.

The yellow pegasus whispered, “Um you should probably rest your wing for a week or two.”

“What? I didn't catch that, can you speak up please?” he responded.

“You should rest your wing for a week or so before trying to move it too much,” she repeated.

“Oh? Why?” he asked. Stretching it into his field of view, his eyes boggling as he saw the stitches. “OH, ya maybe I should do that. Are you a doctor or something?”

The cyan pegasus spoke up at this point, “Na, she just likes to take care of animals. My name’s Rainbow Dash by the way. Fastest flier in Equestria.”

“And Ah’m Apple Jack, best apple bucker this side of Canterlot.” The orange pony said.

“Hold your horses. If you’re Rainbow Dash and you’re Apple Jack, then that makes the others Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, who’s not here at the moment, and Fluttershy. Whom I apparently owe a great debt to for saving my wing.” Jonathan says before taking a bow to the yellow pegasus.

He sat back on his haunches and looked at the five that were in front of him. “There is a lot I need to tell you all, but that can wait until after Pinkie’s party. Don’t want the premier party planner of all of Equestria to think I was blowing off one of her parties now do we? Will you ladies lead the way to Sugar Cube Corner?”

The five all look between themselves before looking back at me and AJ says, “Have we met before?”

Jonathan sighs, “It’s a long story and you probably won’t believe half of it but I’ll tell you how I got here after the party. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cup-cake in my eye.”

The mares all look at each other for a moment before Twilight speaks up. “Well we better get back to Ponyville then.”
