My Little Pony: The Medicine of Friendship

Chapter 6

Please Get Well

When Twilight returned to Canterlot Castle, she came back to find the rest of the mane 6 infected with the same virus that had infected Neo and Spike, and not only did the ponies get infected, the virus had taken away their cutie marks. Neo looked through the ending of the Mission to Zebulon book and didn't find any cure to his virus, in fact at the end of the book, everypony infected with the virus all died, Neo and his friends were starting to lose hope of finding a cure for this virus, but Twilight wasn't about to give up, she was going to do everything she could to find a way to cure the virus.

But she felt that everypony in Ponyville must know what's going on, so while Neo and her friends were resting, Twilight wrote a letter to the Ponyville News Center and wrote about what was going on with Neo and her friends, she felt everypony in Ponyville had to know what was happening, then she mailed the letter and it was on it's way to Ponyville. The letter got to Ponyville later that day and when the ponies of the Ponyville News Center read it, they wrote about it in the newspaper and sent it out for everypony to read. A pony that was handing out newspapers was shouting, "Neo is sick, Neo is sick, read all about it!" Everypony came to get a paper and read all about that Neo was infected with a very serious and contagious virus and the virus had also infected Spike, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Everypony was worried and they were hoping for Neo and his friends were going to get well, some ponies sent gifts and get well cards to Neo and his friends, they all came on the Friendship Express and were delivered right away. The gifts were left outside the door of Neo's room since nopony was allowed to go into the room because the princesses had said the room was quarantined and anypony who even goes near Neo or the the infected ponies might get infected just like them.

Meanwhile, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were sitting in Celestia's throne room, worrying about Neo and the sick ponies, and Princess Luna was very worried, she loved Neo so much, she didn't want anything to happen to the human boy that she loved so much, Princess Celestia comforted her sister and assured her that Neo and his friends will get well again, she didn't want anything to happen to Neo either, she considered Neo her son and she loved him very much like he was her own son. She told her sister that Twilight was working on finding a cure for Neo and she had faith that Twilight will succeed, Princess Luna hoped that her big sister was right, she just couldn't bear the thought of losing the human that she loved so dearly. Princess Celestia even said that if Twilight does succeed in curing Neo and her friends of this deadly virus, Twilight's studies of friendship will be complete and she will be ready for her future.

Twilight was in the room with Neo, trying to comfort him and her friends, then a knock came at the door, Twilight couldn't let anyone in the room because Neo and her friends were so contagious. Twilight opened the door and saw that it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders, she quickly came outside and closed the door, she greeted them and she was surprised that they came all the way over here by themselves. They each had a small gift and a get well card for Neo, Sweetie Belle also had a gift and card for Rarity, Applebloom also had a gift and card for Applejack and Scootaloo also had a gift and card for Rainbow Dash. Twilight said that she will give them their gifts and they should get back to Ponyville, Sweetie Belle asked if they could see Neo, but Twilight said no, they all begged to see Neo, they wanted to see him really bad, but Twilight said that Neo was very sick and very contagious and if they get too close to him, they will get infected as well and she couldn't let that happen. Twilight also knew that they would freak out at all the huge red bumps Neo had all over his body. Twilight assured them that she will tell Neo they came to wish him to get well and she will give him and the other ponies their gifts. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were disappointed, they loved Neo very much, but they knew they couldn't risk getting themselves infected, so they did what Twilight said, they asked Twilight to give him a hug for them and they hope he will get well soon, then the Cutie Mark Crusaders began galloping out of the castle and they went to the Friendship Express to get back to Ponyville.

Twilight went back in the room with the gifts and cards, she gave them to Neo and the other ponies and they loved the gifts and cards very much, Neo knew how much the Cutie Mark Crusaders loved him, they all saw him as their idol and maybe even like an older brother. Twilight sat by Neo's side and comforted him, she would also go around to comfort each of her friends and Spike. Twilight was still trying to think of a way to come up with a cure, but she didn't know how, she said next she will look through various spells by Star Swirl the Bearded and see if he had any spells that could cure a virus. Then Neo went to sleep and rested, Twilight swore that she wouldn't stop until she found a way to cure the virus, Twilight was tired so she fell asleep right next to Neo, all that studying and trying to find a cure for the virus made her so tired.

An hour later, Twilight woke up, Neo, the ponies and Spike were still resting, but then Twilight felt strange, she looked at herself and she saw huge red bumps all over her body, she looked in a mirror and saw that her left eye was red, Twilight realized that she was now infected with the virus, now she was going to have to move even faster to try to find a way to cure the virus before it's too late.
