- >Well, it's that time again.
- >You just woke up.
- >Screwball must be up too because you see your visiting clothes laid out on the edge of your bed.
- "Let's see if anything has changed this week."
- >You get out of bed and walk to the shower.
- >Upon walking in, you see a note taped to the mirror
- >'Remember, don't get your hopes up Anon. I don't like it when you're down.
- Love, Screwball.'
- >You fold the note up and set it on the sink and step into the shower.
- >About 20 minutes later, you're already walking to the hospital.
- "So what do you think is going to happen today?"
- >"Probably the same thing as every week. No change."
- "Yea, I thought so."
- >The both of you continue to walk in silence.
- >Waving at the passing p0nies.
- >Colgate tells you to stop by so she can look at your teeth.
- >Yea, no.
- >You see Roseluck sitting there, looking bored.
- "Hey Screwball, how about we buy some roses for Auntie?"
- >"Sure, why not? They are delicious."
- "Ok, can you go buy me a muffin from Derpy?"
- >"Sure, give me 4 bits and I will."
- "I thought they were only 2?" you say handing her the money.
- >"I want one too, besides, I know you are just going to go flirt with Roseluck."
- >You can only blush at this.
- >"Well? Are you going to go or what?"
- "Y-yea, how do I look?"
- >"You look fine, Anon. Hurry up though, after this we have to go see Screwloose."
- "I'll be quick."
- >With that, she trots off to Derpy's.
- >Now it's time to shine.
- >As you walk towards Roseluck, she perks up.
- >She starts to smile, probably because she has a customer.
- >"Good morning Anonymous. What can I do for you today?"
- "Hey Rose, I would actually like to buy a bouquet of roses." you say putting the bits on the stall counter
- >"Might I ask for who?"
- "My aunt, Screwloose."
- >"Ah, is she out yet?"
- >She gives you the Roses.
- "Sadly, no...The docs say she is making progress though. They say she can snap out of the chaotic trance any day now."
- >She puts a hoof on you hand and smiles at you.
- >"I'm always here for you Anonymous."
- "Thanks Rose. I appreciate it."
- >"You should stop by more, I like your company."
- >You hear Screwball call out your name.
- "Yea, sure, I'll stop by every now and then, but I gotta go now. Talk to you later."
- >You walk away waving and smiling.
- >She returns it.
- >"So how did it go lover boy?" Screwball nudges you
- "I think it went well."
- >"Great, here's your muffin."
- >You notice there is a bite mark in it.
- >Pointing to it she can only shrug.
- >"Oh and Derpy says 'hi.'"
- "Awesome." you say as you begin walking
- >Another 20 minutes later and you're standing in front of the hospital doors.
- >Screwball and you look at each other and simply nod.
- >This was going to be tough, just like all the past visits.
- >But the two of you could make it.
- >You really hope you keep your composure this time.
- >Last week was just a hard day for you.
- >As you walk in, you nod to Redheart and she just smiles back.
- >Down the hall you walk once more.
- >Feeling nothing but regret.
- >You always felt like this during this walk through the hall that took your aunt.
- >As you reach the end of the hallway, the male nurses smile widely at you.
- >This was odd considering they were basically guards just to keep Screwloose in check.
- >Walking into the room, you hear a guard say good luck.
- >Saying thank you, you look at where the your aunt is suppose to be sitting.
- >She's not there
- >Why?
- >Before you turned around and opened the door, you felt a tugging on your leg, followed by a gasp.
- >You look down and smile
- >Screwloose was tugging on your jeans.
- >But not like a dog, but like a p0ny.
- >"I've missed you Anon. I'm ready to go home now."
- >Screwloose...your aunt just spoke to you. She didn't bark
- >Screwball hugs her and you get down on a knee.
- >You scoop them up and hug them.
- >Tears rolling down you cheek.
- "I thought you would never come back."
- >"Shh, shh, it's ok anon. Everything will be ok."
- She strokes the back of your head. "I'm sorry for putting so much stress on you two."
- >"It's okay Screwloose. We believed that you would come back." Screwball says.
- >So the three of you just sat there, hugging each other.
- >A guard came in with Dr. Stable.
- >"I'm sorry to ruin your three's moment, but I'm guessing we have some paper work to fill out."
- "Heh, yea, sorry about that."
- >"Don't be my boy, just take a seat and we'll get started."
- >The three of you sit down and begin filling out the paper work.
- >This is probably the greatest day of your life!
- >Your aunt will be coming home finally.
- >Screwball is still a little teary and you can hear the occasional sniffle from her, but she'll hold up
- >After everything is said and done, you walk out of the hospital with two of your favorite p0nies.
- >The first thing Screwloose asks is if she could get a hayshake.
- >You could only say yes.
- >Today was a great day.
- >But knowing these two, there is going to be some nutty shenanigans.
