A Rush To the Hospital

Minty slowly stepped out pf her house and on to the sidewalk in front of it. The sun was shining and everything was growing plentifully, but,Minty was new in Ponyville so she was still shy and didnt kmow her way around. As she walked peacefully down the sidewalk she sniffed the fresh air and let out a sigh of relief.
When she made it to the corner she looked down the street for a second. On the other side of the street was a tavern and in front was a mare being attacked by robbers. Minty heard the mares screams and ran to help her, when she got close enough she kicked the robber,and made him stumble back. She jumped on him but forgot to lock his arms down. What Minty hadnt noticed was that the robber had also been intimidating the mare.....with a pistol. He ponted it up as far as his hooves could go with Minty on him and pulled the trigger.


Minty woke up in the hospital with a cord connected to her stomach.
"Wh-Where am I!?" She said panicking. A nurse mare came in with some food. "You are in the hospital, and in stable condition, you will have to stay here for a while but you will recover. Oh and what did you say you name was dear?" The nurse asked
Minty's shyness whent away for a while and she knew she would have to answer anyways since she had nothing else to do.
"Minty...my name is Minty." She answered.
"Ok then Minty dear, you need to get some rest, goodnight!" The mare happily answered.
As Minty started to nuzzle in the hospital bed as best she could with the cord on her, she thought of something that suddenly made her sad. "I have nopony to visit me!" She said and sighed.
All her reletives were dead and she had no friends. She softly cried herself to sleep.

((I hope this ok considering you couldn't exactly explain how your character got to the hospital, so yeah hope this is ok))

It was the same as always for Shadowfire. Get up in the morning, greet his sister, have some breakfast, chat with his sister for a bit, then leave for his morning stroll. It was a natural habit that Shadow had gotten into but it didn't bother him.

Shadow hadn't been walking for ten minutes before he heard a commotion not far from his position. He wasn't the only one who noticed. A mare had just turned down the street he presumed it was coming from and sure enough it was.

In front of a tavern, there was pony who looked as if he was either robbing or trying to intimidate the mare he had with him.

He noticed the other mare bolt towards the two and kick the robber out of the way before jumping onto him. Shadow's eyes widen at the next thing he saw and it all happened so fast he never got time to warn the mare.

The robber shot her...

Once the mare was off her, the robber turned and ran.

Making sure there was no-one to jump him, Shadow quickly made his way over to the two mares. He quickly checked the one who was being robbed by the other pony and she was fine, she said that she'd to the hospital for a quick check-up but their primary concern was this other mare.

Shadow checked her over quickly and sure enough there was a bullet wound. He didn't examine her injury anything. He carefully levitated the mare onto his back, and made his quickly, but not too fast, towards the hospital, praying he would get their in time.

The hospital came within and sight which was a relief to Shadow. He made his way through doors and quickly yelled he had an emergency. Nurses surrounded him and got the mare off his back before taking her away for surgery.

Several hours later...

Shadow had been told that mare was going to be fine and thanked for bring her here. Shadow let a sigh of relief. He had asked what the mare's name is and he was told her name is Minty. He thanked he nurse and made his way home to get some sleep.

Perhaps I'll check on her tomorrow.

For now, he just headed home for some sleep.

((No,no this is perfectly fine! Thank you))

Minty woke up in the morning expecting to find herself at home in bed, but striaght when her mind came to her she realized this was not home at all. She sighed as memories of yesterday came back to her.
"Uhng"she groaned. Then the nurse came in.
'Great, the last person i want to see today' she thought remembering how annoying she had been.
"Wy hello dear! I presume you are doing fine and are comfertable?" The nurse said in her singsong voice.
"Fine...sure..." Minty replied not to brightly. All she really needed were sweets right now. She loved sweets and was sure if her parents were still alive they would bring her a basket of candy.
Minty's eyes got a bit watery at the thought of her parents but she wiped it away before the mare could see.
"I dont suppose you have anything,sweet i could have do you?" Minty calmly asked.
"Oh! No, no, no, no, no! You have to go easy on what you eat right now. But dont worry! Im sure you'll be back to your sugar filled items in no time!" The nurse replied with a bit of a buzz.
Minty slumped back in bed but then the nurse said something that made her sit back up.
"It was really nice of your friend to bring you in so quickly like that! He seemed in a rush when he came in here with you on his back and made sure you were ok." She said.
"Friend? But I dont have any~" Minty started but the nurse cut her off.
"Ok dear, enough chatter its time to eat so ill leave you in here to do that and you can call for me when you are finished ok?! Bye!!" She said and used her magic to slam the door behind her.
What the nurse had said stunned her and she sat there for a moment, her stomach hurt because it growled and that snapped her out of it and she began slowly eating

((No problem))

Shadowfire awoke the next morning and didn't really want to get out bed. He was in one of those lazy moods. Though that thought went out the window when he remembered what happened yesterday and what he said he would do.

Shadow rolled out of bed and prepared himself for the day. He walked out the front door and made his way towards the hospital to check on the mare he brought there yesterday, Minty.

Shadow soon found himself in front of the hospital. He walked in the front door and went up to the front desk.

"Umm, hello?" He asked the attendant tentatively.

The desk attendant looked up at him and gave him a bright smile.

"Hello! How can I help you?" She asked.

"Umm...yes. Would it be possible for me to see the mare that came was brought in yesterday? Minty I believe her name was?"

The attendants eyes seemed to brighten a bit and her smile seemed to widen more.

"Are you the stallion who brought her in?" She asked.

"Uh, yes...that was me."

"Brilliant! I'm sure she will want to see you now!" She exclaimed happily while clapping her hooves together.

The attendant left the desk and walked around to Shadow. She signalled for him to follow her and she lead him done through the hospital, past many empty room and some occupied ones. They then stopped outside a room.

The nurse stepped and said something to whomever was inside, something that sounded like the occupant had a visitor. The nurse then stepped out and gestured for Shadow to enter. He did, somewhat shyly though.

Once he was in, the door behind him shut and he glanced over at the occupied.

"Hello?"

Minty's head snapped up.
"H-Hi? Ummm Who are you?" Minty asked, a bit suprised it wasnt the annoying nurse. Her eyes followed his every move, she hadnt seen anypony pony from outside except for nurses in what felt like forever even though she knew it had only been a day or two

Shadowfire didn't mean for the mare to be so shocked, but I guess it can't be helped if they get visited by nurses most the time. His eyes darted nervously around the room as if his reply was in the room.

"I-my name is Shadowfire, but I prefer Shadow...uhh, I-I was the one who brought y-you here. How you feeling?"

Shadow was stammering mess right now. He had only moved to Ponyville a few months ago and never talked to many people other than his sister.

Minty saw the shyness in the stallions eyes and she calmed down.
"Im fine, nice to meet you Shadow, im Minty. And thank you very much for doing that for me." She blushed, she wasnt used to talking to stallions.
"How was the mare? Is she ok?!" She asked.
The stallion had made her stress and dispair go away and was now hungry for sweets, but she knew she wasnt aloud to eat any untill she got out of the hospital. "You know!? I dont really miss home that much... what i really miss is Sugarcube Corner, oh i love their cake and candy and most of all their milkshakes!" She said talking faster every word.
"And I-" she began to speak again but saw how hyper she had gotten.
"Oh im sorry...ill settle down now." She said and her cheeks blushed again but thus time of embarresment. She slumped back down in bed..
" Umm i uhh what do you need?" She asked suddenly afraid now

The mare seemed to calm down considering Shadow being shy and she introduced herself as Minty confirming he had gotten the name right and he could've swore he saw her blush. Then...let's just say she went a question frenzy.

She started throwing question and comments at Shadow as if trying to converse. Things like asking if the mare she helped was ok, that she missed sweets from Sugarcube Corner etc. she then realised she was ranting and stopped as she was about to start another comment.

She apologised and blushed again but in embarrassment this time before slumping back into the bed. She seemed afraid suddenly as she asked what he wanted. All this made Shadow smile and chuckle slightly.

"Your cute when you talk like that." Shadow said, not thinking it through.

His widen considerable when he realised what he said and slapped a hoof over his mouth before blushing madly and looking away.

"A-and I-I was r-really only here to c-check on you. T-that's all. Do if you d-don't need anything I-I'll leave."

By the end of his sentence, he was stammering wreck and his blush refused to leave his face.

Minty was a bit shocked at what he said, but she saw how,embarresed he was and to help try and make him feel better by pretending she hadnt heard, but she blushed also and tried to answer.
"Uhm no i dont need anything but thank you, you can leave if you want...but uh only if you want to.... you know what!? I think you probably have a life unike me and i dont want you to waste your time in this shabby place with me, you can leave....thank you for visiting though....it means alot to me." She said and turned away to hide her blush.
Suddenly the nurse walked in.
" Oppsie! Didnt mean to intrude! Oh you, Shadow! Why are you still here. You've been in this room for like...three hours! Go, go outside! Enjoy the sun whike we still have it! I hear Cloudsdale is going to bring in an early thunderstorm. In fact im taking the day off in one hour so go enjoy yourself and have fun. Minty and I will enjoy our hour together also." The nurse said. The nurse didnt notice their blushing and pulled the curtain to the window aside. Minty squinched and covered her eyes from the light that suddenly filled the room. She then sighed.
"Uhh ya she is right Shadow...you should go,enjoy your day." Minty said softly
"Yep! Now out out out! Go shopping or something! Bye bye!" The nurse sang and pushed Shadow out the door

Shadow knew as soon she started speaking, she trying to make him feel better by pretending to ignore what he said and he appreciated that, but the rest of her reply came as a shock to him. Of course he had a life to live but it sounded as if she didn't want him there!

Shadow was about to reply when the nurse came back in and explained to Shadow that he had been visiting for three hours! He didn't realise how fast time had just went. The nurse told him that he should get going considering there was a rainstorm coming in soon, so she started pushing him out the door telling him to go enjoy his day. Minty agreed with her but seemed...reluctant maybe...he wasn't sure.

The nurse finally pushed out the door telling him again to go. Shadow did so but not before throwing one last sympathetic look at Minty. She was going to be in for a long one hour.

Now standing outside, Shadow glanced and noticed that it was indeed going to rain. With nothing else to do, Shadow headed home to work on some of his potions and of course his body decided to be a nuisance and let the blush stay...

Minty sighed when the nurse pushed Shadow out the door, she knew it was going to be a long hour with this stupid nurse, she didnt say stupid because she didnt like her, she said it because the nurse was indeed quite stupid, Minty thought as she watched the nurse trip over a table that was in plain sight.
"Alright! Now....what do you want to do Minty!?" The nurse asked as she got up and straightened her outfit.
"Umm, i dont know... how about we play a game before it starts raining?" Minty asked, she now had a smile on her face because she had a plan.
"Ok, how bout hide and seek?!" The nurse asked now sounding mpre like a filly than a mare.
"Yes! Oh i mean...yay." Minty said, refering to Fluttershy.
"Ok um how about i search and you hide ok?" She asked.
"Ok!" The nurse answered and then ran out the door.
"Wow?! She actually fell fo that?" Minty whispered once the mare had gone into hiding. Minty started counting but while she did, she snuck out of the bed and took the cord off carfully raplacing it with bandages, she was counting to 200 slowly so she knew she had time. Once she gained her balance and made sure the bandages were tightly on, she openned the window and looked down.
"Woah, thats a long drop." Minty exclaimed but remembered her counting and continued.
"Oh wait! Im a pegusus. Duh i guess after not flying for a while then its easy to forget." She said and looked at her back.
Her wings werent covered by the bandages but she was still not very good at flying.
But she decided to try anyways, and she was almost to 200 so she needed to do it quick. She stood on the window sill and unflapped her wings, she jumped and it took her a second to gain her balance and go upwards but she managed. "Phew!" She said, after she was back on her way towards her house. Just then her stomach started huting from hunger and she remembered her disire for sweets and Sugarcube Corner, so she made a turn and whent to Sugarcube Corner

((Wow...rebel much. Then again I'd so do that. Also it may be a while before I next reply cause I'm gonna have to make another application for Shadow's sister.))

Shadow had made it half across town when he stopped and remembered something. He was suppose to meet his sister at Sugarcube Corner for a bit of sibling time in the afternoon. Now that he would have something to do, he turned and headed for Sugarcube Corner.

Shadow's eyes wandered in the direction of hospital and wondered how Minty was fairing. He yanked his eyes away as he caught himself staring. There was something about that mare that had caught his attention.

Though, after he brought his eyes away he saw the most unusual thing ever. From the hospital window that was presumed to be Minty's room, was Minty herself flying out of it.

What a rebel Shadow thought as he chuckled to himself.

After experiencing a 'talk rush' from Minty, he had a pretty strong feeling she'd be heading for Sugarcube Corner. It could be possibility that they see each other again.

(Can I join? :3)

((Sure!))

(Yay! :3)

Dandelion trotted merrily down the cobblestone streets of Ponyville, his saddlebag filled with three or four bouquets of flowers. After making his weekly rounds to the ponies at the hospital, he was a bit bored. Nopony was requesting bouquets in his flower shop, so he thought he could walk around town and see who wanted his leftover ones from the hospital.

"Where to go, where to go~?" he thought, pausing to lift his hoof in a wave to yet another pony. "Oh! I bet Sugercube Corner will have me!"

Smiling, the Pegasus blew his fluffy mane out of his blue eyes and unfurled his wings. He didn't seem to mind that his mane flopped directly back into his face again as he did so. He flapped his wings and hovered off the ground a few inches before flying towards the sweets shop in his normal leisurely pace.

((Hey, no problem Shadow! And welcome,to the club Daedelyn lol))

Minty flew through the doors of Sugarcube Corner, she was exghausted from the fly for some reason even though it only seemed to take her a few minutes to get there.
She sat down at the nearest table and ordered her favorite, a mint shake.
As she began sipping she found it was more delicious than ever. Her thoughts dragged her back to the hospital, how was she supposed to hide her bandages that wrapped around her torso? What if they send that dog-like crazed mare after her?! She thought and settled herself. "I'll be fine..." She whispered to herself under her breath.
She let out a sigh of relief, she was finally our of that horrid place!
"Maybe I should go see if that mare who was getting attacked by robbers is ok?" She said and turned to look at the door. It was now pouring rain outside and Minty loved the sound of it on the roof, and she couldnt believe how good it was! She got to listen to rain, to get a mint shake, and to sit by a warm fireplace.
After she finished her shake, she threw it away and yawned, she needed sleep. So she walked over to the couch and curled up on it and whent to sleep.

((I can continue for the time being till I get the app accepted.))

Sunny day and heading for Sugarcube Corner for a relaxing afternoon. Nothing can go wrong right? Well that's a big misfire.

During his walk to Sugarcube Corner, Shadow noticed rain clouds gathering and before too long...it started raining. Shadow made a mad dash for the sweets shop while bring drenched in water. Thankfully, he wasn't that far away from the shop and soon made it undercover.

He shook the water out of his body and used magic to get the remaining water out. He then walked and welcomed the warmth of the shop. He walked over to a nearby table and sat down to wait for his sister.

He cast his gaze around the room and noticed many unfamiliar ponies bar one that was off to the side, sound asleep. Minty.

Called itShadow thought with a smirk.

Shadow just sat back and relaxed while waiting for his sister

Oh dear, now it was raining.

Dandelion didn't care, he loved the rain. Because he could run a lot faster than he could fly, the yellow stallion dropped back down to his hooves and set off at a gallop towards Sugercube Corner. He used his wings to cover his saddlebags; it wasn't good for the flowers to get too wet.

He skidded into the Corner, the rain and wet ponies making the floor slippery. After he regained his balance, he hopped to his hooves and shook the water out of his soaking wet mane like a dog. He accidentally slung the water everywhere and was greeted with annoyed screams.

"My bad!" he whinnied back, smiling sheepishly. Dandelion then suddenly remembered his flowers and uncovered them, neatly folding his wings back to his sides. "Y'all want some flowers, 'cuz I got extra! They're free!"

Minty woke with a start, from water splashing on her.
"Whoa! Oh, phew im glad i wasnt outside!" She said and turned to the pony who had gotten water on her, she noticed that he was giving away flowers.
"Oh, well im not a big fan of flowers.....unless you have lavender, do you?" She asked then looked around the room. There were more ponies here then she had seen when she went to sleep amd did her best to try and hide her bandages, because she had no doubt that if anypony saw them, she would be sent back to the hospital. Little did she know that if she did get back, the nurse was still there hiding in a closet. She saw that Shadow was also there.
"Oh hello Shadow, how are you doing?" She asked politely.

"Um..." The stallion rummaged around in his saddlebags then looked back over at the mare and shook his head. "Nope, sorry. I don't got any with me, but I'm sure I got some back at the shop, if you really want it!" He offered the pony a smile.

"Oh no, its fine, i might stop by at some point......when i get better..." Minty whispered the last part to herself, and looked down at her not so well hidden bandages.
"Soo....does anypony know when this storm,should lighten up?" She said, now looking at the severe thunder storm outside.

"M'fraid I don't know, miss," Dendelion replied slowly. He plopped down into a sitting position on the ground and removed his saddlebags. A moment later the stallion was happily burying his nose into the flowers and sniffing them.

"Oh, its fine." She giggled, and then turned her attetion to Shadow,
"So, what are you doing here?" She asked. When she turned around, she felt like everyone was staring at her and hid behind the couch so she could still hear his answer. She would have rathered go upstairs, because she came here as much as she could since she came to Ponyville, so she was aloud to be in places where most costomers couldn't, because she knew the owners good.

Shadow heard a pony come in and shake water off their body. Little bits got Shadow but he wasn't overly fussed about, though if he knew his sister well enough...

Shadow noticed that Minty had woken up and started talking with the pony who had come offering flowers. He thought she would've been shy to start a conversation, like back at the hospital. The two conversed for a bit before Minty noticed Shadow in the shop sitting off to the side.

She walked over and asked politely what he was doing here, though she kinda moved behind the couch as if everyone was watching her but so that she could still hear Shadow's reply.

"I'm just waiting for someone, my sister speicfically, to come here. We do it every afternoon."

Once Shadow had noticed Minty hadn't moved, he looked at her then patted the seat next to him.

"Come on Minty, take a seat."

He then turned his attention to the other pony and indicated to the other seat near him.

"And if you'd like to join us?"

Minty realized that Shadow had just invited her to sit with him,
"Oh, uhh ok...i mean...aslong as your sister wont mind." She said nervously and then slowly came behind she couch, trying to use her wings to cover the bandages.
Once she had sat down, she decided that it would be nice if somepony else sat down to, so she also invited the other pony.
"Uh yea come and sit with us!" She said quietly
