"Day three, the young mare I and Sir Cogsworth brought back is stable today. After last night's scare I have been with her all night. She is still unresponsive at the moment but she is alive and seems to be healing a bit. We are going to remove the stitches from her face and set her jaw properly. If she remains unconscious I will start her on a tube feed, she is on an IV at the moment but it's not honestly enough. She has been starving now for some time" the doctor finished his speech and Dash could hear the click of some sort of mechanical recording device shutting off.

"Now then miss... If you heard any of that we are going to try and put you back together." the doctor stated. "I'm going to move you on your bed to another room ok? you'll be fine..."

Rainbow could feel her bed become mobile. She heard the sound of a door opening and the creaking of wheels on a wooden floor. She could hear at least two ponies walking with her one on her left and one pushing. "what is going to become of me? I hate my life sometimes"

She felt the bump as another door squeaked open. "Ok, here we are, first lets get your jaw working."

"Doctor you are aware she can't hear you correct?" a young sounding female stated.

"I know. More likely than not she can't hear me. But if you remember I was in a coma for a week that one time... I could hear everything, so why not her?"

"What ever you say doctor. Are we ready to start?" Rainbow could hear some metal equipment jingling.

"Yes. I'll cut the stitches, you set her jaw." the doctor said as his voice drew closer to Dash.

"Yes doctor." the nurse replied.

She felt hooves on her face. "If you would be so kind, now would be a great time to start her on some pain killers.

"Right away doctor." She felt a hoof leave her face. Moments later things quite suddenly stopped making sense to her. She could hear voices, ponies she knew others she didn't, dozens of them.

"Ok lets cut them then." a floaty pink voice said.

"What? P- Pinkie? I- is that you?" Rainbow vaguely felt metal touch her face.

"Ah don't know about this doc, that there is pretty broken" a southern voice announced.

"AJ? You are here too?" Dash thought, suddenly hopeful.

"Silly Dashie. Of course we aren't here!" she laughed "you are so funny when you are high."

"Wh- what? What do you mean?" she thought as she started to become more loopy than a fruit loop.

"Ah always said you were a little nuts hon...." the voice of her friend replied.

"I'm not crazy! Why do you keep saying that?" she shouted at the voices within her own mind.

"Well you are talking to yourself aren't you Dashie?"

"No I'm..." She stopped "I am... aren't I?"

"See Dashie? How else could we hear your thoughts?" she giggled.

"What in Celestia's name is happening to me?" Dash thought with her mind swirling.

"Ah think they drugged you Rainbow..." Applejack stated flatly.

"Why is this happening to me?" She groaned. Time passed, and the voices in her head were quiet. "Great. now even the voices are done with me." Rainbow lay still her drugged mind becoming bored. There was nothing to see, nothing to hear, nothing to do. She sighed to herself. "I'm going to die here... I just know it."

Rainbow heard a light mumbling. "Drugs" she didn't catch it all "days ago."

"Doc- she live?" she heard a female say she was pretty sure was the nurse.

"Don- know- day fiv-"

The next sentence came across loud and clear. "Should we pull the plug?" Rainbow's heart stopped cold. The meaning of those words flooded into her mind. They were talking about giving up. They were talking about letting her die.

"No! Please! I'm alive! PLEASE! Come on Dash do something!" she screamed into her mind and tried everything she could think of to get her desperate plea out. The ever present beeps of her heart began to get closer and closer together.

"Doctor..." the nurse said nervously.

"I see it... get the paddles ready" he stated "I want to see what she does"

The fear of death continued to swell and pile up in Rainbow's mind. She screamed one last time, ready just to give up, as loud as she could into the depths of her mind.

"Mmnnnnn..."

"Doctor! Did you hear that?" the nurse stated with surprise in her voice.

"I sure did... She's alive." he said with an air of successes.

"What should-" she was cut off.

"Get the others. Everyone. This mare is top priority now understood?" the doctor said excitedly.

"But-" she was cut off again.

"Understood?" he repeated somewhat sternly.

There was a pause. "Yes doctor" Dash hear the door open and close.

"Now then miss... I know now you can hear me... I will not rest till you wake." The exhausted Pegusi gave into her exhaustion, falling asleep, she was safe now. Safe locked in the depths of her own mind, and whatever else may be lurking there.
