Return Preparations

At the hospital, Flurry was taken to a private room and an oxygen mask was strapped over her muzzle. Minnie was taken to Radiology to have x-rays taken of her leg. Mickey requested that the hospital call them once Flurry had been discharged. Minnie’s leg fracture was serious, but not as bad as everybody feared. The x-ray revealed that her leg bones were cracked and needed to be straightened with a yank. Doctors said the fracture was not serious enough to necessitate admitting her. So, Minnie only had her leg splinted and was given crutches. At the clubhouse, she and everyone else watched Flurry’s video log to understand who Flurry Heart was and how she had arrived in their world. After handing Toodles the DVD, he put it in a player on the side of the Mousekedoer and a view of Flurry Heart in her ship’s cockpit appeared on screen.

“My name is Flurry Heart. I am the queen of the land of Equestria, one of many countries on the planet Equus. Six months ago, Equus was visited by a mysterious being named Galeem, the Lord of Light. He declared war against us because he planned to get rid of darkness and I refused. In order to defend Equus, I formed my own fleet and we engaged his soldiers in battle. My fleet was captured and I was the only one who escaped. During my escape, I passed out from g-force. I was in this world in the middle of the night when I regained consciousness. Most of my ship’s systems were out and I have to rely on sonar to see where I am going because my exterior lights are broken. If anyone is injured, I am terribly sorry.”

Mickey and his friends were floored by the recording. Nobody knew what to say.

“I can’t believe she is the only one who got away. The rest of her fleet was captured.”, Daisy finally said in a shocked voice.

Just then, the phone rang. Mickey walked over and picked it up.

“Hello.”

“Mickey, this is the hospital. Flurry Heart woke up three hours ago and we were able to take off the oxygen mask. We have checked her out and she is on her way to you now.”, said an orderly.

“Thank you much, we will expect her.”, Mickey replied before hanging up.

He told his friends what he was just told. They were all shocked. Ten minutes later, Flurry arrived at the front door and rang the bell. Mickey let her in and they shook hands. She was still wearing her space suit because it was given back after the nurses checked her out. After everyone had introduced themselves, Flurry turned to Minnie.

“I’m sorry that you broke your leg. If I hadn’t tried to avoid hitting the clubhouse, you would have been killed.”

Minnie forgave her and then Flurry began to explain what was going on.

“In order to defeat Galeem, I will need to form a fleet from as many citizens from this world as possible. However, this world is unknown to me. Is there any way you can help me out?”

“Don’t sweat it. We will help you find soldiers to help out in saving your world.”, replied Donald with confidence.

“Donald’s right; we know a lot of good individuals who would be willing to assist you.”, said Daisy.

Flurry acknowledged what she had been told and then she told Minnie something surprising.

“I can heal your leg in a flash. Hold still.”

Minnie did as Flurry requested and then Flurry held out her hoof towards her bandaged leg. Lighting her horn, Flurry whispered a few chosen words. Wisps of blue light flew from Flurry’s hoof towards Minnie and touched her leg. Minnie felt a tingling sensation and then her leg stopped feeling sore. As she started to get up, she held onto Mickey. As if a miracle had taken place, Minnie was able to stand without assistance.

“How did you do that?”, she asked Flurry out of curiosity.

“I used a healing spell.”, Flurry explained as she took off the splint.

Mickey decided that an advertisement in the news would be the easiest route to bring people together in order to form a fleet that would help Flurry fight Galeem. Flurry agreed and they worked together to make sure they covered everything that was needed for the article. After mailing the article out, Flurry told Millie and Melody that they were invited to help out as well. This excited the twins and Minnie said that when the time came to build ships, the twins would each have their own ship that would detach from hers. Millie and Melody agreed with their aunt’s decision. Daisy even invited her and Minnie’s best friend, Cuckoo Loca, to join the action as well. Professor Von Drake arrived at the door and explained that some pieces of Flurry’s ship were still usable and just needed to be repaired. Flurry pulled out a tracker and said that the signal it was showing indicated the location of her ship’s main power source.
