A story of how a lonely unicorn finds friends in an unexpected way

It is still weeks away before winter wrap up is to start. A light breeze sneaks into a house built within a tree outside Ponyville. But a cold chill isn't all that breeze brings into this house.

Prologue/intro - Just to help get to know our little 'friend'

(Okay, now this is my first story and I have a strange way of doing things that I don't understand half myself. But hopefully we can get through this and have ourselves a wonderful story to share with friends and/or family.)
{And before I forget, the disclaimer: My little pony is own by Hasbro and all that jazz. The picture was done by my sister Mandy, you can see more of her work at http://mandy-kun.deviantart.com/ And just to be safe, any other things that belongs to them and all the yada yada. Now for who gets these extra credits, well I'm sorry I'm bad with names. If you do see something that needs that type of attention here, let me know in the comments so that I can give credit where credit is do.}
Okay to start I should introduce the unicorn that we shall be following through most of this story. He is an orange Unicorn with Deep sea blue eyes that as of late have an empty look to them. His mane is a curly brown mess that he has long given up on trying to fix. And the same goes for his tangle filled tale. The rest of him is the build of your average colt. Now for his cutie mark. Well as strange as it sounds, it is a simple question mark. Nothing more nothing less. But the story of his cutie mark is a story for another day. Right now we are just going to go with what is needed to be said now.

And now for the part that I could have put first but saved for now is his name. Let me introduce you to Questi Mark!

"What the! Who's there? Where are you and why did you call out my name?"

Okay, just to point out to the readers, this isn't breaking the forth wall. We just haven't set them up yet.

"What are you talking about? And where are you hiding? This is my house!"

Yes, the house that is made within a lovely tree and a few miles away from a lovely town known as Ponyville.

"You still haven't answered any of my questions stranger."

Well that is because we shouldn't really be interacting. The forth wall is being set up as we speak.

"Will you at least explain who you are and how you know so much about me?"

I guess I can tell you that at least. I'm the author of this story.

"What?"

Your about to go on a journey that you never expected to take. A trip to the town that many know as Ponyville.

"Now why would I go and do something like that. All the ponies down there are crazy!"

You will see soon my friend. But alas this part is only to let the readers here know a bit about you. Although sadly you won't remember any of this through the story.

"What do you mean I won't remember? I have so many memories that I wish I could forget some of them."

And how would you know if you had forgotten a memory if you can't remember it?

"Trying to through ME off guard with a QUESTION?! You already know who your dealing with, right? Well the answer to your silly little question is the date. All my memories are tied to dates, and that is how I know I'm not missing one."

And there we have it mares and gentlecolts, that is why his cutie mark is a question mark. He solves questions. But the story of how he got it is for another day.

"Who are you talking to now? It clearly isn't me."

I'm talking to the readers who will be joining us on this wonderful adventure.

"So..... I take it that your going to stalk me for the rest of this.... adventure?"

Stalking is such a mean way to put it.

"But that is what you will be doing."

Well yes and no. I will be telling the story as it plays out.

"You're starting to make less and less sense."

This doesn't have to make sense to you, just the readers. Who hopefully aren't lost or confused about an author talking to the main character of the story before the story really starts.

"All this talk is making my head hurt worse. Can't we just get this story over with so that I can live the rest of my life alone and in peace?"

I don't think you will ever be able to be alone again after this. And now you shall know nothing of what has happened through this entire ordeal. But hopefully the readers enjoyed this little bit of craziness as we took some time to learn about who we will be.... well as he put it 'stalking' through this lovely adventure. And please do leave comments down below. Any helpful feedback is well.... helpful. And I will do my best to fix up any messy bits that might be tangled in this story. So thanks and let the story begin!

And so it starts

The cold winds blow harshly through the branches of the tree that makes up Questi Mark's home. "Those crazy weather ponies sure love to overdo it on the snow this time of the year." Questi lets out a heavy sigh as he looks at his rickety door that has now become stuck slightly open. Being miles away from Ponyville, he didn't have to worry too much about any unwelcomed visitors. He didn't have any welcomed visitors coming along to his door these days either. He looked around his house. One could almost mistake it for a small library with how many books were stacked around on shelves along the wall of the room that made up most of the house. The bed and makeshift kitchen were the only clues that this was actually a house. It had been a long time since he last got a new book. Of course he knew very well the reason why. His father was the only one who sent him books. Due to a crazy fireplace accident about a year ago, both his parents were now gone. He let out another sigh as he finished reading the last book he had gotten from his father for the 5th time. "I guess I could do with a new book. Another year alone up here could cause me to become crazier then those mailponies in Ponyville."

As if right on cue, the sound of a mailpony in a hurry to somewhere came over his home. He let out a sigh wondering if there was someone having a laugh at his dismay of the mailponies flying so crazily over his home. Suddenly a burst of heavy wind met with the sound of the mailpony right over his house. He stood still waiting to hear some sort of crashing sound or some sort of cry for help, but there was none. He did hear the sound of the mailpony flying away though. He let out a bit of a sigh of relief that he wouldn't have to deal with a crazy mailpony of some sort. But his hopes would soon dim as he saw a letter suddenly come flying in with the breeze. "Now what kind of mailpony lets mail fly off so carelessly?" He blinked a few times as he repeated to himself the question. A small grin started to form. A question he could actually find the answer to. He walked over towards the letter and levitated it with his magic as he read the address to where and who this letter was for. He paused as he looked at the name. "Ditzy Doo (Mommy)?" He looked at the address over and over again. "What an interesting name. Well I guess I will just have to find this Ditzy Doo of Ponyville and let her know that the mailpony dropped this letter from her child." With that said he grabbed his scarf, winter boots and saddle pack. He carefully put the letter into one of his packs and then sealed it nice and tight. He then started off to find this Ditzy Doo.

After a long walk through a snowstorm Questi finally came to the gate that said 'Welcome to Ponyville.' He stopped to catch his breath as he hadn't walked such a long distance for at least a year. He saw a few fillies making a snowpony and some young colts having a playful snowball fight. "Ah, youth, so full of energy." He chuckled to himself as he started to move on into Ponyville. "Now to find somepony to ask about where I can find Ditzy Doo." He was sure that the Mayor of Ponyville lived around this area. His eyes suddenly saw a very pink pony bouncing down the path. 'O dear Celestia! Anypony but her!' He thought as he quickly jumped into a bush to hide himself out of sight from the pink one. 'Out of all the ponies for me to see, WHY HER!? He peeked out of to bush for a bit to see if he had managed to avoid the crazy pink pony. What he saw was her holding her tail as it started twitching. Just that moment a large clump of snow fell off a tree above and landed right on him. He grumbled something about twitchy tail as he shook off the snow as the pink pony bounced over towards him. He knew he could no longer hide from the pink pony, but that didn't stop him from glaring at her. "Pinkie, why must you always be my bad luck charm?"

Pinkie Pie stopped in her tracks as she heard a voice she hadn't heard for about a year. "Questi!" She started jumping around the unicorn. "Omygoshihaventseenyouforso..." She paused for a moment. "And what do you mean bad luck charm?"

Questi sighed once again as he brushed off the last bit of snow off himself. "Every time I see you something bad happens me. Thank Celestia that it was only snow this time. Now if you don't mind, I have to go see the Mayor in hopes of finding out where Ditzy is so that I can give her this letter that flew into my house today."

The crazy pink pony continued bouncing around him. "Areyoubecomingamailponynow?Whendidyoustart?Whatisyourroute?"

Questi let out a heavy sigh. Normally he loved questions, but Pinkie's only brought him pain and headaces. "You do know that I can't really understand your questions when you talk that fast. Plus asking me so many in one go doesn't help much either. Why don't you go off and throw a party of some kind while I try to handle this."

Pinkie's eyes started to sparkle at the mention of party. "That's right, we have to throw you a welcome back party!" And before Questi could say a word to stop her, she was off.

Questi looked out in the direction of where Pinkie bolted off to. "O dear Celestia, what have I gotten myself into?" He let out a bit of a sigh as he walked off alone once again towards the building he pictured to be the Mayor's office.

So much work for one letter

Questi looked over the building that he was sure belonged to the Mayor. Just as he was about to knock on the door, it opened and out came the Mayor. He was just about to say something when he suddenly heard somepony yell "TWITCHY TAIL!" This caused Questi to panic and without much thought dove towards the Mayor, pulling her back into what he hoped to be a safe area. As the two landed inside the house, there was a loud thud as a huge mound of snow had fallen off the roof of the building and now blocked the doorway.

Questi looked at the now snow covered exit and let out a bit of a sigh as he realized he had just trapped himself with the Mayor. His attention now came to the Mayor and the tangled mess their hooves were in. After a an awkward moment of silence and blushing, they finally untangle their hooves. Questi is the first to stand up and he looks at the snow blocked door once again. "Looks like the pink bad luck charm has struck again."

The Mayor chuckled a bit as Questi remarked about Pinkie Pie. "Oh Questi, your the only one who refers to Pinkie Pie as a bad luck charm."

Questi let out a bit of a sigh as he looks back at the Mayor. "How could I not think of her as one? Something is always falling down or crashing into me whenever that crazy pink pony is around. I'm lucky that my horn is still in one piece after all that chaos."

The Mayor lets out a bit of a sigh. "So I take it your not here to apologize to Pinkie about missing the cheer up party she tried to throw for you the last time you came to Ponyville? She was so heartbroken when you didn't show up. She changed the cheer up party into a search party. Everypony was so worried when you weren't found."

Questi's head drooped down. "I'm sorry, but I just needed some time alone to try and answer all these questions in my head after getting that letter about my parents' deaths."

"You're normally good with answering questions. Why did it take you a year to finally come back to Ponyville?" The Mayor asked as she walked closer to Questi.

"Why wasn't I there to help save my parents?" Questi let out a deep sigh. "Even though I knew the answer for so long, I couldn't fully come to terms with accepting it. But that has nothing to do with why I am here now." He raised his head as he changed the subject. "The main reason I came back here today was this letter a mailpony had dropped over my house." He pulled out the letter and showed it to the Mayor.

She looked over the letter. "Oh my, a letter for Derpy from her daughter! She normally keeps this with her at all times. The poor mailmare must be worried sick."

Questi tilted his head. "The letter is addressed to a Ditzy Doo, not Derpy."

The Mayor facehoofed. "Derpy is Ditzy Doo, everypony calls her that because..... Well once you meet her you can understand."

He was now more confused. "That is a very strange name to give somepony. Can you just tell me what she looks like?"

"I can actually do something better then that." She went off to some sort of cabinet and quickly pulled out a file. She happily trotted back over to Questi.

He levitated the file once the Mayor was next to him and opened it. Inside had a bit of information about Ditzy and a picture. {Sorry for the lack of photo here, it is hard to find a photo the right size I want with Ditzy's eyes being normal.} "So she is a grey Pegasus with a blonde mane and gold eyes. Nothing out of the ordinary. I guess if this picture explained why her name was Derpy, you would have brought it out then." Happy with the info he got, Questi returned the file to the Mayor. He turned to look back at the snow blocked door. At least that is what he thought he was going to look at, but instead of snow there was now a bouncy pink pony.

"I finally found the two of you! Hurry up the Welcome Back party can't start without you!" And before Questi or the Mayor could protest, Pinkie quickly pulled them to Sugar Cube Corner. "Let the 'Welcome Back Questi' party begin!!"

Just about everypony in Ponyville was there. The crowd of colorful ponies started cheering, a few even yelled 'Welcome back Questi!' plus one barely audible 'yay' This left Questi speechless as he looked around at all of them. He watched as the Mayor went off to mingle with a few ponies. He suddenly saw a pony that matched the picture of Ditzy. Suddenly everything went black. "AH! I HAVE GONE BLIND!" He started to panic as he felt everything spinning around him.

"Your not blind silly, you just have a blindfold on." Pinkie Pie said with a giggle as she spun Questi around. "You can't play pin the tail on the pony without it." She handed him the tail and started to guide him toward the picture of the pony missing a tail. "Your almost there, just keep walking this way." There were giggles all around the room as they watched Pinkie walk a wobbly Questi through the room. "Just a few more steps. There now put the tail on the pony!"

Questi felt a bit better when he knew he wasn't blind, but following Pinkie Pie was one of the last things he would ever do. But it seemed he didn't have much of a choice at the moment. When she said that they were at pony he lifted his head up and place the tail on the picture. Suddenly the room was filled with laughter. He lifted up the blindfold to see why everypony was laughing. He then saw that he had placed the tail on the chin of the pony.

Pinkie was laughing so hard that she fell to the ground laughing. "That is the silliest bearded pony I have ever seen!"

Questi looked at Pinkie and then at the picture of the now bearded pony. "Any pony with a beard like that should be proud of it." He started to help Pinkie get back up when suddenly her ears flopped, her eyes fluttered, and her knees started to twitch, knocking Questi back towards a door that suddenly opened, squishing him between the door and the wall. All the ponies around the area flinched as they saw the painful slam.

A purple unicorn started walking in through the opened door. "Sorry for being late, I had to organize a few things before..." She stopped when she saw all the ponies looking like they had just seen something horrible. "Why is everypony staring at me like that? Is there something wrong with my horn?" She quickly reached her hoof up to feel her horn, and let out a sigh of relief when she felt her horn was normal. The door suddenly closed behind her and a thud sound soon followed. "Oh....." The unicorn blushed as she realized just what happened.

"Bad luck charm strikes again." Questi mumbled out as he slowly regained himself.

The pink pony bounced happily towards the two unicorns. "Twilight, I'm so glad you finally made it!" she gave the purple unicorn a big hug. During the hug she suddenly realized something. "Oh, Twilight, you have never met Questi before!" She turned Twilight around to face Questi. "Twilight meet Questi Mark, Questi meet Twilight Sparkle."

"It is very nice to meet you Questi. I'm sorry about hitting you with the door as I came in, I know just how painful that can be." Twilight said with a blush of embarrassment .

"Nice to meet you as well Twilight, and don't worry too much about it. When Pinkie starts twitching in some way, I know I'm going to be hit by something." Questi laughed a bit. "This is actually the third time today that the bad luck charm has struck."

Pinkie frowned at being called a bad luck charm. "Will you STOP calling me THAT!"

"It does seem rude to call Pinkie a bad luck charm." Twilight said as she stood next to her pink friend.

Questi shuffled his right front hoof as he looked down and sighed. "Sorry, I've just been so use to calling her that since I always end up getting hit by something every time she is around me."

Pinkie shook her head. "Hey, enough of this mopey~wopey nonsense. This is a party, so lets PAR~TAY!!!" She pulled out her party cannon from out of nowhere and started firing it around, shooting confetti everywhere. The last shot ended up firing right at Twilight and Questi. "Oops..."

At first Twilight and Questi glared at Pinkie, then they looked at each other and started to laugh at out silly the other looked covered in confetti. Questi suddenly had an idea. He used his magic to levitate most of the confetti off the two unicorns and started to carefully fold them into one another until it was a nice party hat. He then noticed there was a small blonde maned unicorn filly watching in amazement at his work. He smiled as he magically lowered the party hat onto the little unicorn's head. She said a quick thank you before running off to show her new hat to her mom.

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw." Both Pinkie and Twilight said in unison. Pinkie Pie then jumped around Questi as she said "That was amazing and Dinky Doo looks so happy."

Questi giggled as he heard the two go 'Daaaaaaaaaw'. He was a bit shocked to heard the name Dinky Doo. He turned his attention to where the little unicorn ran off to. Just as he suspected, she was showing her new hat to the pegasus that he has been looking for. "So that must be Ditzy Doo." He turned to the two girls. "You will have to excuse me for a moment, as I am going to finally do what I came to do in this crazy town in the first place."

Twilight and Pinkie both smiled. "We have to see this."

The three ponies walked over to where Dinky and Ditzy where. Questi took a few extra steps ahead of Pinky and Twilight as he stopped in front of Ditzy. "Ditzy Doo I presume?"

Ditzy looked up at the strange unicorn that called her name. Only one eye came to look at Quest while the other seemed to look off at the ceiling. "Muffin?"

Questi was thrown off by how Ditzy's eyes looked in two different places at once, and then by when she just said 'muffin'. "What? No, I don't have a muffin. But I do happen to have something that belongs to you." He dug through his bag and handed Ditzy the letter that had found its way into his house that morning.

Ditzy was shocked when she saw that Questi had the letter she had lost on her route today. She then gave him a big hug as she said "Thank you!" over and over again. "I thought I had lost this letter forever. Thank you so very much."

He was a bit shocked to be hugged, but he felt a special kind of joy that he hadn't felt for such a long time. "You're very welcome." He blushed a bit as she released him from the hug. "I must thank you as well." He smiled as he looked around the room before returning to looking at Ditzy. "If you didn't drop that letter, I would still be a very lonely pony in a tree."

Ditzy looked at Questi a bit confused. "Muffin?"

Questi laughed a bit. "Sure, I would love a muffin."

Oh muffins... and cupcakes!

There was a loud thud as Ditzy slammed her right hoof to the ground. "Muffins are better!"

Pinkie was somehow bouncing with rage. "Cupcakes! Cupcakes! CUPCAKES!"

They both suddenly turned and looked at Questi and said "Which do you think is better?"

Questi glared at the both of them. "You dare to ask Questi such a silly question like that?! It is like asking if Oranges are better then apples! They are two completely different fruit. I shall now explain in detail why."

{Greetings, the Author here, now I'm sure there are plenty of you that would love to hear Questi go on and on about explaining all of this, but that would further delay this already delayed chapter. Okay back to the story.}

Hours of explaining later the only ponies still at the party now where Pinkie Pie, Ditzy with her daughter Dinky, Twilight and Questi. Pinkie and Ditzy shared derped confused looks while Dinky looked at Questi with awe. Twilight scribbled down notes as Questi finally finished his explanation "And that is why one truly can't compare Cupcakes and Muffins."

Ditzy looked over to Pinkie then looked back to Questy, then back to Pinkie again. "Muffins are still better."

Pinkie blinked a few times to get over the shock of the long explanation from Questi and glared over to Ditzy. "CUPCAKES! CUPCAKES! CUPCAKES!"

The three unicorns facehooved at the same time. {Plus any facehooves from the readers at this point.}

Questi's stomach started to growl. "All this talk of muffins and cupcakes has made me hungry for.... well... muffins and cupcakes."

Dinky smiled as she said "My mommy makes the best MUFFINS!"

Twilight nodded while she added "And Pinkie knows how to bake perfect cupcakes."

Ditzy and Pinkie suddenly stopped their argument as they heard mention of baked goods from the unicorns. They stared at each other for a bit before smiling and shouting together "CUPCAKES AND MUFFINS!" Suddenly they skipped off to the kitchen to start cooking.

"I don't know if I should be ecstatic or horrified." Questi said in a worried tone.

With a light giggle Twilight nudged Questi "Don't worry, they know what they are doing."

"I guess if you're not worried about it, I shouldn't be." Questi started to grin. "Since they are both so good at cooking, what is the worst that could happen?"

{AN: I'm sure it is clear what is about to happen now. And sadly like many stories before this one, when what is the worst that could happen, something really bad happens. Also like many stories before this, things will tend to go downhill very fast. Of course this story does have the sad tag on it, so it is clear some sad things are going to happen. So, all of you, count yourselves WARNED! Now with that said... or typed in this case..... lets get back to the story.}

As if on cue, an explosion erupted from the kitchen. The three unicorns turned to see smoke coming through the doorway that led to the kitchen. "WHY DID I SAY 'what is the worst that could happen?' THE WORST ALWAYS HAPPENS!" Questi yelled as he ran to the kitchen, the other two unicorns not too far behind him.

The smoke slowly started to clear out as the three unicorns rushed into the kitchen. They looked around frantically for any sign of movement from Pinkie and Ditzy. A bit of movement came from a pile of flour bags and soon a flour covered Ditzy popped her head out. Her eyes spinning in opposite directions "I'm okay."

Dinky quickly ran towards her mother and snuggled with her. "MOMMY!"

There was relief at the sight of seeing the grey pegasus snuggling with her daughter, but the relief was short lived as there was still no sign of a bouncy pink pony. "Where is Pinkie?" Questi asked Ditzy in a very worried tone.

Ditzy blinked a few times before looking around the room. After a bit she pointed to a pile of pots, plates and pans.

As Questi took a better look at this pile, he saw one other thing. A motionless pink tail. "Pinkie?" Questi shoved cookware aside hoping to find a smiling Pinkie Pie. But that wasn't what he found. Pinkie was laying motionless and her eyes closed. "Pinkie, please wake up." He started to slowly shake her in hopes of waking her up. "Come on Pinkie, this isn't funny. Just wake up!" Tears were starting to escape from Questi's eyes as he shook her harder. "PINKIE!"

There was a loud smack as Twilight hoof-slapped Questi. "Snap out of it. Shaking Pinkie isn't going to help her right now." She pushed Questi out of the way so she could check Pinkie's vitals. After a few moments Twilight let out a small sigh of relief. "She is still breathing, but very slowly. We should get her to a hospital." She looked over at Ditzy. "We should get you checked over as well, just to be on the safe side."

Ditzy nodded as she tried to stand up, but ended up falling back into the pile of flour bags. "A little help please?"

Twilight sighed as she helped Ditzy up. The pegasus had a bit of trouble standing and had to lean on Twilight for support.

Questi levitated Pinkie onto his back. "Twilight, you focus on helping Ditzy, I will carry Pinkie."

With the plan all set they headed to Ponyville hospital. Although Questi was still in a bit of panic and had started to walk the wrong way before Twilight yelled at him. "The hospital is this way!" And with that Twilight with Ditzy leaning on her slowly lead the way to the hospital as a worried Dinky followed as close to her mother as she could. Questi was blushing slightly from embarrassment from going the wrong way as he slowly followed behind Dinky while being careful not to drop Pinkie off his back.

And the door opens

The slow pace of walking to the hospital was causing Questi to worry more and more about Pinkie. She still felt warm on his back, so that was a good sign at least. He could feel her breathing becoming slower as they went on. "I know we are taking it slow because of Ditzy, but are we getting close to the hospital yet? We are starting to lose Pinkie here." Just as he finished speaking, the hospital came into view. The reason for him to go at this very slow pace was no more, and he started to make a mad dash to the building holding Pinkie in place on his back with a bit of his magic.

Twilight was a bit shocked at how fast he rushed past them. She looked over at the mother and daughter who, without needing to be asked the question that was on her mind, nodded towards before they started to pick up the pace.

Inside the hospital lobby, Nurse Redheart stared at her computer screen as she was reading some amazing stories on a website she had found called fimfiction. She was currently reading a story that was title 'Motherhood is Magic' when suddenly Doctor Heart trotted up to the desk. "Reading those crazy stories while on the job again?"

She glared at him "They aren't crazy stories, most of them are very well written. And besides," She motioned a hoof to the currently empty lobby. "It is a nice slow day, perfect for reading."

Just at that moment Questi bursts through the doors with Pinkie still on his back. He almost crashed into the desk as he stopped himself from his mad dash. He panted a bit before trying to explain what happened. 'Pinkie got hurt from flying into a wall with pots and pans from a strange explosion that happened right after I said what could possibly go wrong, please help her.' Is what he wanted to say, but what came out of his mouth was. "PINKIE HURT! EXPLOSION! MY FAULT! HELP HER!"

The two stared at him as if they had just seen a ghost. With a quick nod to the nurse, he quickly got Pinkie onto a stretcher and rolled her away to an examining room. Questi tried to followed only to be stopped by Nurse Redheart. "I know you are worried about Pinkie, but I can't let you through while the doctor is examining her."

Just as he was about to protest, Twilight and Ditzy came through the doors, shortly followed by a worried Dinky. "Mama, you sure your going to be okay?"

The grey mailmare looked down at her daughter with a gentle smile. "Don't worry, my little muffin, I'm just going in for a little check up and I should be back out fine and dandy."

A heavy sigh came from the desk as Redheart saw the trio walk in. "Derpy did you crash into the library again?"

She shook her head "Nope, it was a strange chemical explosion from trying to bake cupcakes and muffins at the same time at Sugar Cube Corner. I landed safely on some bags of flour, but Twilight insisted that I still come in for a check up." She then smiled at the unicorn standing by the desk. "But Questi must have told you all about that already."

With a heavy sigh the nurse glared at the male unicorn. "He didn't give me the pleasures of the details when he rushed in here with Pinkie Pie." She slowly shifted from the glare to a calming smile as she looked over towards the pegasus "Now lets get you into a room so that we can get you back on your own hooves again." She walked out from behind the desk to stand by Ditzy. After a quick shift of weight, they started to head back. They only stopped a bit as the nurse glared back at the group of unicorns. "You three stay out of trouble, we are a bit short staffed tonight, so we don't need three injured unicorns added to these two."

The three looked at each other before looking back at the nurse as she vanished into the room with the pegasus. The youngest of the three looked the most worried. "Mama is going to alright, isn't she?"

The lavender mare smiled toward the little one. "Don't worry, she is going to be just fine. Beside, whats th-" She was cut off by an orange hoof covering her mouth.

"Don't you dare speak that line. DON'T EVEN THINK IT! I already messed up things badly enough by saying it already." He looked at the now scared filly. "I'm sure you mother will be just fine. The nurse knows what she is do-"

Now he was cut off by a flying rainbow bursting through the doors and tackling him. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO PINKIE?!" Yells the cyan pony with a colorful mane. She is quickly pulled off the startled unicorn by an orange earth pony. "Applejack! I bought you here to help me, not to pull my tail."

The earth pony spat out the rainbow tail. "Dash, ya ain't goin' to get the answers ya want by askin' him that way." She then motions towards the lavender unicorn. "Besides, if he had done somethin' really bad ta Pinkie, do ya think Twi would just be standin' here next ta him." She now turns and looks at Twilight directly. "Twi, are ya going to tell us what in the hay happened?"

Just as she opened her mouth to start explaining, there was a blood tingling yell of pain coming from the room the grey mailmare was in. The small unicorn's attention darted from where the scream came from to the other two unicorns in the lobby. "YOU SAID SHE WAS GOING TO BE OKAY!" She yelled as she hit Twilight's leg with her hooves repeatedly. Physically the hits didn't cause any real harm to the unicorn, the emotional damage of thinking that she just lied to this little unicorn was the worst pain she was feeling.

Moments later the grey pegasus came walking out looking perfectly fine. There was a sigh of relief from the older ponies as they watched the young one rush towards her mother giving her one of the biggest hugs she has ever given her. "Mama, I'm so glad you okay."

The mailmare looks down at her daughter with a smile. "Its okay my little muffin. Mommy is all better now."

The nurse smiled towards the filly. "It was just a slightly dislocated wing, but she is perfectly fine now."

A very worried looking Dr. Heart soon came out of the room where he left Pinkie in to recover. "I have some good news and some bad news." He cleared his throat as he put on a smile to tell the good news. "Pinkie is awake and is cleared for visitors, the bad news is..." He didn't get to tell the bad news as everypony in the lobby rushed passed him to visit Pinkie.

They all were smiling as they rushed into the room. "Pinkie, thank goodness you are okay." The group said together.

In the room the special pink pony stared blankly at everypony. "Who are all of you?"
