Greenie dear? Twilight asked me to check in on you" >You weren't greeting a guest. >You were being bad again. >You hear hoofsteps get closer. >"Greenie? Hello... oh Celestia!" >You try to respond but only a gurgle comes out. >You feel the pinprick of magic all over your body. >As soon as you're moved everything becomes pain.   -----   >Rarity sat next to a bed in Ponyville Hospital, crocheting a little hat. >It was the perfect shade of green to match little Greenie's coat. >She was worried that Greenie hadn't woken up yet, but the doctors said she was going to be fine. >She was thankful she had been able to get Greenie to the hospital in time. >Finding her like she did... well, it was just good she was able to get help in time.   >Movement from the bed caught her eye >Greenie was sitting up and rubbing her eyes. >Rarity almost squealed in delight. >"Are you feeling alright dear?" >The little filly mumbled something and looked around at the room in confusion. >"You're in the hospital dear. You had a bad fall." >Rarity stood up and smiled, setting her crocheting down.   -----   >Nonono >You looked around rapidly. "I shouldn't be here." >Miss Rarity is getting closer. >"What do you mea-" "This is bad" >You didn't get permission to leave home. "I'm being bad" >How long were you gone? "Nonono" "This is wrong" >How long had you been bad? "Mommy will be mad" >"I'm sure Twilight will unders-" "I'm going to get punished." >You push back up against the headboard. >Your breaths aren't come fast enough. >You aren't getting enough air. >Everything is wrong. >Mommy will be mad.   >A warmth presses against the side of your body. >"It's alright dear, I'll explain everything to Twilight and it will be just fine" >"Now, what ever do you mean by punished?" >She didn't understand >She was going to keep you here. >She was going to keep you being bad. "I don't want to be bad!" >You struggle to get out of her hug. >"Green please calm down!" >A bite convinces her to let go. >You jump off the bed and run through the door, dodging between orderlies and carts.   >"Come on, it's time to go" >"But what if she comes back?" >"Then we'll find her tomorrow. You've been up since yesterday, let others search." >"... I suppose... I can't believe Tw..." >You listened intently as their voices faded. >You didn't greet guests again. >But they wanted to take you away. >And you weren't allowed to leave without permission. >You were being bad again.   >You stand up and limp out of your hiding spot. >Why wasn't Mommy back? >It had been two days >She had never been gone that long. >Is it because you were bad? >You punished yourself several times. >But it wasn't enough. >Mommy still wasn't back. >You weren't good enough. >You need to be better.   >You're at the top of the stairs. >Frowning. >You had been bad. >Worse than ever before. >That's why Mommy wasn't here. >It was your fault. >You turn and limp down the hallway.   >You loved the balcony. >Though you were never allowed on it. >The sky always looked pretty from it. >There was always a nice breeze. >Too nice for a bad filly. >But it was necessary.   >You push a stool outside. >You're careful not to scuff the floor. >You hop up gingerly and look out, smiling. >It was obvious now why Mommy hadn't come back. >You had been very bad. >But kept using the same punishment as always. >You just weren't doing good enough. >But you'd do good enough now. >You'd make Mommy happy. >You hear a shout but you ignore it. >You were going to stop being bad. >You throw yourself forward.
