Solaris had arrived at the hospital and X-rays of his arm had been taken. He had been left in the room with his mother who was holding him closely. She felt guilty about letting him out of her sight which caused him to get hurt, but at the same time, she knew that she needed to give him space so that he could grow on his own. She was taking care to make sure that she didn't touch his injured arm for fear that it could be broken. He had calmed down considerably since they had left Wonder World and she knew that it bummed him out that he couldn't be there. "Mommy... it hurts..." he said, his voice full of pain and sadness. It was almost as if he could barely talk through it.

"I know, sweetie," she replied in a soothing voice.

The two of them sat in silence as doctor walked in carrying the X-ray images. He placed them on a lit board and pointed at a circled area, "Your son has an oblique hairline fracture in the middle third of his humerus. We don't treat these with a cast, but he will have to either keep his arm immobilized in a sling or a brace. As you can already see, there is swelling and bruising on his arm. I'm going to apply a splint to his arm which will immobilize his arm and allow it start the healing process. I will also be giving him a sling so that his arm may hang freely at his side so that it'll heal properly. After three weeks, come back and we'll switch it out for a functional brace to allow free movement of the shoulder and elbow," he said in a professional manner.

The seven year old boy looked down, he was upset about this whole thing, but the pain in his arm was extreme. The doctor walked over to him and handed him a small cup with child strength painkillers, "These will help with the swelling and the pain, young man," he said in a calming voice.

Solaris grabbed the cup from the green skinned man's hand. He took the medication and drank the water he was given. He was still quiet as he was in a lot of pain, but the doctor walked out for a bit to allow the medication to take effect. Celestia looked at her son sadly as Luna walked into the room. "How is he, Tia?"

"He's in a lot of pain, he's barely speaking. He's also somewhat depressed. He loved climbing..." she started.

The mere mention of climbing caused a reaction in the child, he started to shudder and squirm. He didn't want to be there, he didn't want to hear about climbing anymore. It was something he never wanted to do again after this trip to the hospital. His aunt walked over to him and stood in front of him to stop any ideas of escape. If necessary, she would restrain him, but by necessity, avoid the injured arm. He stopped squirming and the alabaster white woman sighed, "I guess he won't be going to the tree house anymore. I'll see about having it taken down this weekend. Luna, can you watch him while I have that done?" she asked quietly.

The blue woman nodded gently, "I've not had anything planned this weekend. I'll be around," she said as she ruffled her nephew's hair.

In her mind, she had already planned out a weekend for her nephew. Since he wouldn't be able to play any of the games that she or Cadance had bought him, she was going to play some video games for him to watch so that he wouldn't be entirely bored. She pulled out a handheld device and sat next to him, "Solaris, I know it hurts and I know you want to cry, but why don't you watch me play some games?" she offered.

He was happy to pay attention to something, anything that kept his mind off things. He watched as his aunt booted up this arcadey flight simulator, he didn't catch the name of it, but there were planes and the action was fast. He watched as she was able to quickly maneuver her craft to be able to avoid missiles and get behind her opponents. He felt a desire to play the game, but he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. As she played the game over the next half hour and he watched her, the pain started to subside and eventually he didn't feel any at all.

The doctor walked in and started to place the splint on the child's arm. The swelling had gone down slightly, which was good and Solaris didn't struggle. He seemed a bit more lively. "Will I be able to use my arm?" he asked.

The doctor shook his head, "I'm afraid not for a few weeks, after that, you'll have to do regular physical therapy to get strength back in your arm. But you're still young and the injury isn't too severe, you'll make a full recovery, young man," he stated with a frown on his face that turned into a comforting smile.

The child didn't move his arm at all as his mother ruffled his blue hair. They had dyed his hair that color to be more like his aunt Luna and he wore it slightly long, down to his shoulders. The doctor smiled at the child's willingness to cooperate with him and when he was done, he walked over to the counter and pulled out a lollipop. He walked back to the child and placed the immobilized arm into a cast and smiled slightly as he gave the child the lollipop. The blue haired child took it with his free hand with a frown, he wanted to be able to use his arm again, but he would have to wait.

Cadance walked in carrying a box, "Your mom and I wanted to wait until your party was over. The rest of the gifts are at the house, but I figured you'd want to
open up one of your presents here, sorry that your birthday wasn't a happy day for you," she said sadly.

"Oh, so it's your birthday? I'm sorry you had to come here, young man. But I hope the rest of your day goes well, sport," he said as he finished the work.

The pink woman handed the child the box she was carrying, it was wrapped up in nice wrapping paper and had a lovely little bow on top. He ripped into the paper and noticed that she had gotten him a Ponystation 2 for his birthday. He was excited at first, but then remembered his arm with a frown. "I'm sorry I can't play it," he said sadly.

"I'll tell you what, Solaris. I'll go out and buy some games so that you can watch me play the ones I buy so that you won't be so bored all the time during your recovery. Heck, you seemed rather interested in Ace Combat, so I think you could be my unofficial co-pilot in any of the PS2 Ace Combat games. I've been wanting to play it for a while now, but I've not had the time or the system," his aunt offered.

He leaned his head against her with a smile, "Can we go home now?", he asked.

"Yeah, you're ready to go, little guy," the doctor said as he backed away.

Solaris climbed off the bed and started to walk to the door, but Luna grabbed the Ponystation 2 from him, "You wouldn't want to break this would you?", she asked sweetly.

"No," he responded sadly.

She nodded and the four of them walked out of the emergency room and Celestia walked to the clerk as the rest of them walked out to the SUV. Luna climbed into the back with Solaris and pulled out her Pony Station Portable and started playing Ace Combat X with him in the back, it kept him calm and the two of them were mostly waiting for his mother to return. She selected an aircraft that she had unlocked after beating the game once and going through it again. He pointed at the screen, "What's that?", he asked her, curious.

"That is a fictional superplane. It's called the XFA-27, it first appeared in the second game in the series," she replied calmly, holding him close.

Celestia soon returned and sat down in the driver's seat, it was going to be a long way to their place, but as Cadance got into her own car, the two vehicles drove out of the hospital parking lot. The only noises on the way back were the Ponystation Portable and both Solaris and Luna talking about the game she was playing. The alabaster white woman couldn't bring herself to say anything, the regret that she had allowed her son to be injured like this was weighing her down too much. She held back and fought the tears that wanted to flow down her face, but at the same time, she smiled slightly seeing her sister and her son finally starting to get along.
