A/N: this chapter focuses on Rainbow Dash in the hospital. May include some other forms of entertainment, the rebellious kind. Enjoy!

Rainbow Dash woke up and sighed. She looked over at Kyle and saw that he was drooling out of the corner of his mouth. “Heheh, he is such a goof, but he is a funny goof” she said quietly as she looked at him. She wrapped her hoof around his arm and nuzzled her head in closer to him. Then she fell asleep again.

I woke up and noticed that I had drool on the corner of my mouth. EWWWW, this is so gross. I sure to hell hope that she didn’t wake up and see it. That would make me super uncomfortable. She had her hoof wrapped around my arm and I felt instantly better; she was drooling all over my extremely small hospital gown. Ha ha! She drools too! Now if she thinks I am a weirdo and laughs at me, I have leverage. I lay in her hospital bed and thought about some random topics. Ok, I am a gigantic creep for liking a pony, got that. I have a job that so far I haven’t worked more than a day and a half; house will be a long time coming. Humph. I am staying in a freaking hospital just to make my friend happy; my unending source of kindness is to blame for that. I have one of the most messed up lives here as it can get! But I don’t care, I am happier than I ever was back home. I was brought back to attention by Rainbow Dash stirring next to me. I rubbed her mane softly “morning sleeping beauty, did you have a nice sleep?”

“Yeah I guess so” She said to me blushing just a little. What I didn’t know was that that was the best sleep she had gotten in a long time.

“Good, because now I have to go get a new gown, this one is covered in drool” I said to her smiling. I am sorry, but I wanted to get the first laugh! Please don’t kill me.

“Hey, you do it too, and yours was going all the way down your face!” She retorted, smiling as well. Oooohhh, she’s good with the retorting. I have to give her props on that. I have taught you well my apprentice; next I will teach you the immense powers of extreme sarcasm. MWAHAHAHAHA!

She moved her hoof off of my arm and I got up. I pretended to shuffle over there like I was an old geezer and grabbed another gown off of the wall. I took off the one I was wearing and put the other one on. I rolled the dirty one up into a ball and tossed it towards the dirty hamper. Little did I know that there was a fan on the ceiling and it was running on high power. The gown caught on to the fan and it started to spin with it. “Crap! Every stinking time!” I said as I watched it fly around at like 9001 miles per hour.

After like 10 minutes of Rainbow Dash laughing her flank off at me and me trying to get it off of the fan, the gown shot off of it. OH SHIT! It was coming right for me and in a matter of seconds I was hit square in the dome piece with a dirty gown. “Argh, this is the story of my life! And stop laughing at me, even if it is funny!” This is why I am in here, because I am a danger to myself. I should be in the padded room and be wearing a strait jacket! Why god…why?

“Ahhahah….that…that was the single most funny thing I seen you do yet! You really are the source of entertainment. I just hope that Pinkie doesn’t mind if you are also the random one” Rainbow Dash said to me, tears starting to form in her eyes from laughing so much.

Red flag! She just said that I was another source of entertainment….THAT’S PINKIE’S JOB! I can sense cupcakes fanfiction with me instead of Rainbow Dash written all over that! DO NOT WANT….EVER! I sat down on my bed and Rainbow Dash got a ball from somewhere over near her. We began to toss it back and forth trying to make time go by faster than a snail…it wasn’t working.

“I am so bored here! Why do I need to be here, I feel alright and I can lay off the practice and flying for a while, I just don’t want to be cooped up in this room for a week” Rainbow Dash said to me before she tossed the ball.

I caught it “The doctor said that you have to stay here for a week, and you really should listen to him. Do you have any privileges while you are here?” Then I tossed the ball back to her.

She caught it then “Yeah, I can walk around the building if I wanted to, but this place is just so un-cool that I would just rather stay in my room. Why are you asking?” Then she tossed it back to me.

I caught it and set the ball down on the bed. Idea forming. May get us both into serious trouble, but I’ll ask if she wants to do it anyways. I am a bad seed, which has been panted in evil dirt. Soon I will grow into a diabolical plant…DAMN IT, STOP GOING OFF INTO RANDOM TANGENTS! “Get up and stretch, we are going for a little walk” I said with a devilish smile that only a mother could love, or not.

She looked at me with confusion “Why, what are we going to do around this place?” Then she got up and stretched her legs. Good…good…let the energy flow through you. Now you are ready to go.

I got out of my bed and walked over to a whiteboard that was on the wall. I grabbed the marker and wrote ‘going for a walk’ on it in big letters. “Well, let’s go!”

I did the gentlemanly ‘ladies first’ gesture to her as she walked towards the door. She smiled at me and chuckled as we walked out into the hall. I led her down the hall and we walked down a flight of stairs. We kept walking down them until we came to a door that said emergency exit. I smiled evilly and took part of my gown in hand. I tore some off the bottom and rolled it up into a small ball, and then I opened the door and put the ball into the slot where the door latches closed. “Ready to go?” I said as I held the door open.

“Are you crazy!? We aren’t supposed to go out of the hospital!” Rainbow Dash said to me, shocked at what I wanted to do.

"C’mon, you said that you wanted to go out. Now let’s go! Don’t make me have to carry you out the door. “You said that you wanted to do something, well here it is. You can get fresh air and be away from the boring old hospital that you love so very very much” I said to her with a smile on my face that pleaded ‘let the rebelliousness flow through you my padawan’. “All we were going to do was go to get some apple ciders from the store down the road anyways.”

“Fine, this better not bite us in the flanks, or else you’re going to get it” she said to me with a smirk before we walked out the door.

I put my hands up in front of me and looked scared. Watch out everypony, were dealing with a bad-flank over here! “Ok, now to go get those drinks” I said as we started to walk away from the hospital.

I could see that Rainbow was enjoying the walk a lot more than I thought she would. She would exercise her wings and stretch her legs every now and again. I am glad she is lightening up on the whole ‘we are going to get into so much trouble’ mood. I will take the insults like a man and say that I was the one that wanted to do it, and then I will be thrown out of the hospital and beaten up in a back alley for breaking the rules of the hospital. I had a challenge accepted face on at the moment.

We walked to the store that sold the drinks we wanted. We were getting looked at by everypony we saw. We just paid them no mind, and I even went as far as to say ‘what are you young whippersnappers looking at? Haven’t you ever seen a couple of hospital patients that want a good quality beverage before?’ The ponies would laugh at us a little in response and then we would keep walking. I love being funny, it’s the only good thing going for me. Well, that and the fact that I am the only human here. God I hope that Lyra never meets me, or else she will want to immortalize me in stone or something.

We walked into the front door and began walking to where the drinks were located.

We found them and I just was looking over the variety of them. I wonder what they all sell? Do they even sell energy drinks here? If so I WANT SOME NOW!!! I continued to look over the selection and RD was doing the same for some reason. I came to a strange looking bottle that was called ‘Scratch’. I was interested, I took the bottle out of the cooler and looked at it. There was a paragraph of text on the side and I started reading it. It read:

If you could see my face you would see me almost foaming at the mouth. “Rainbow Dash, I need to get this. I need to feel like what the bottle says, even if it kills me” I said to her as I held the bottle like it was a gift from god himself. DO WANT! I want to drink this so I can feel like I can conquer the world with my pinky finger.

“I’ve had those before. They are worth the money” She said to me with a smile.

I grabbed another one out of the cooler for RD and we walked up to the counter. “I’d like these please” I said as I looked at the mare behind the counter. She was small and had a dark brown mane. She also had a dollar sign as her cutie mark. Something feels very familiar when I see this pony. I can’t really place it, but I feel like she reminds me of someone from home.

“Will that be all sir” She said to me in a very grouchy tone. Oh it’s all coming back to me now, I know who she reminds me of.

“Yes please” I said trying to be friendly. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! I handed her the required amount of bits and then me and RD left the store. When we were outside we walked over to a bench and sat down for a minute. I popped the cap off of my drink and began to drink it. It tasted exactly like a Red Bull mixed with Monster.

Rainbow Dash opened hers as well and started to drink it also. She took a break from drinking and looked at me “Wanna have a race to see who can down their drink the fastest?”

“You’re on” I said as I held my drink up to my mouth. She did the same as we got ready to begin. “One…two…three!” I said and then we began. After a minute of no air and constant chugging the victor was crowned. It was Rainbow Dash of course. Humph, lucky mare.

After about 5 minutes of sitting on the bench it hit me like an iron fist straight into my heart. I lifted up my arm and saw that it was shaking. “C’monRDwegottagetbacktothehospitalnNOW! Beforeanyponygetsupset. Comeonletsmovemovemove!” I said really fast. I can’t control it! This drink is making me feel like I can do anything! Gotta move around.

Rainbow Dash and I got up and she was shaking a little from the energy boost as well. “C’mon let’s go!”

I shot off in the direction of the hospital. I was practically flying there, the reason I say that is because I can barely feel my footfalls. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed as I ran through the streets. I hopped completely over crates and barrels that were in my way. I was leaving a trail of dust behind me as I ran.

Rainbow Dash caught up with me and we continued to run back to the hospital. “HeyRainbowDashthis stuffisamazing!” I yelled over to her as we ran.

“I know now pick up the pace slowpoke!” she said to me before she rocketed ahead of me.

“ARRRGGHHH!” then I ran faster.

We ran the rest of the way to the hospital and found everything like we left it. We went back up to our room and pretended like we didn’t do anything wrong…it worked.
