Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe class was still with shock for a few seconds as they stared at the filly's unconscious body lying on the floor, limp as a wet noodle. "Oh dear! This isn't good." Cheerlie stated worriedly. "Sweetie Belle, I need you to go get help quickly!" she said turning towards the young unicorn. "But how?" asked Sweetie Belle, "The hospital's too far away to walk." "Use that teleportation spell that Twilight's been teaching you. I know that it's hard but it's the only way. Now please, hurry!" So Sweetie Belle swiftly galloped outside (she needed a change of scenery so that she wouldn't get distracted by all of the commotion). Then she closed her eyes, thought up her destination, and cast her spell. Back at the classroom, everypony anxiously awaited the medics' arrival. But, not all of them were quite as anxious as Cheerlie. "Well, she certainly got what she deserved." one student commented rather harshly. "Take it back!" Silver Spoon demanded. "Make me!" sassed the classmate "Oh, I'm not going to. But I simply can't imagine how you could manage to live pleasantly knowing that you just insulted a former friend of mine! So take that back and don't ever let me hear that ever again!" "Yeah sure, Princess, whatever brightens your sun." "Stop it!" Scootaloo ordered. "C'mon, Silver Spoon, some ponies just aren't worth dealin' with." Applebloom said.
Well, Sweetie Belle eventually did make it to Ponyville General Hospital. But she had one problem; she had no idea where the medics were. Since she had already used up all of her magic on the teleportation spell and she didn't see any familiar faces, she figured that all she could do was wander around until she found them. As she searched, she came across a rather strange sight. What or rather who, she saw were many different ponies who appeared to have rather strange ailments. Some of them had spots, some had oddly-colored tongues, but they all looked rather sick. Sweetie Belle could tell that they were not from Ponyville because none of their symptoms were identical to any diseases commonly contracted by citizens in Ponyville. That was weird, she thought. "Wait! I still have to find the medics" she reminded herself. So she searched around for a while until she finally found them. "Oh hello there little filly, how can we help you?" asked the male medic. "Quick, emergency… school… Diamond Tiara… really sick!" Sweetie Belle panted. "Whoa whoa there, calm down and tell us what happened please" said the female medic. So Sweetie Belle told them what happened. "Well it's a good thing you told us, your friend might be really sick" the male medic said. "Come on, let's head out! You can ride with us in the air ambulance" said the female medic. See, when we humans think of an air ambulance we think of a helicopter but the air ambulance in the story is different. It's a chariot very similar to the kind that Twilight rode in when she first came to Ponyville, but a little different. This one was painted white with a red cross on it and is often pulled by common pegasi rather than royal guards.
After about two minutes of flying, the medics finally arrived at the school and the medics immediately rushed in. The female medic examined Diamond Tiara while the male medic interrogated Cheerlie and the students about what happened. "I don't know what could have happened" she said. "I was teaching the class when all of a sudden there was a loud thud and I saw Diamond Tiara lying on the floor." "Did she have any enemies?" he asked her. "Well she wasn't the nicest student in my class so she probably wasn't the most well-liked" "Why didn't you do anything about her behavior or even talk to her about it?" "I never really thought much of it. I just figured that she was just another misguided student who could be helped with a little kindness and teaching." After a few minutes, the female medic reported "The vitals don't look good. We'd better get her to the hospital, stat!" So they took her out of the school on a stretcher and loaded her into the air ambulance. As it flew off, tears filled Silver Spoons eyes. She knew something about her ex-friend that nopony else did and she deeply regretted leaving her because of it.
