"Heartbeat?"
"Steady."
"Blood pressure?"
"Normal."
"The patient has been this stable for over 48 hours. Why hasn't she regained consciousness yet?"
"Her coolness is still below acceptable levels. I'd predict that for the patient to become conscious again she has to be...oh...maybe about 20% cooler."
Tank the tortoise hovered up with his propellor and placed a pair of pimpin' blocked out-sunglasses onto Rainbow Dash's face.
"Coolness levels are rising, 5%...15%...20% increase in coolness has been achieved!"
Behind the reflective walls of the pimpin' shades Rainbow Dash's eyes fluttered open.
"Guys...? Is everyone okay?"
"Rainbow!" Twilight beamed and hopped around the room "You're back! Oh I was so worried we'd lost you!"
"Yay!" Fluttershy whispered through tears of relief.
Fluttershy...
Rainbow's heart lurched as she sprang up from the hospital bed.
I failed...
"Fluttershy...I-I'm sorry."
Fluttershy wiped the tears from her eyes. "Why are you sorry Rainbow Dash? You saved all of Ponyville's little creatures from poisoning."
"And the ponies," Twilight mentioned.
"Those too."
Rainbow Dash shook her head. "It doesn't matter..." She looked up at Fluttershy with remorse-filled eyes. "I couldn't save you..."
"Eh?" Twilight Sparkle turned her head to the side. "But Fluttershy's perfectly fine. We all are, thanks to you."
Rainbow's gaze snapped angrily to Twilight. "FINE?" She pointed a hoof towards Fluttershy "You call that fine?"
Twilight's eyes narrowed "I don't know what you're talking about Rainbow. Fluttershy looks the same as she always has."
"Now look here!" Rainbow broke free of all the IV tubes she was connected to and flew over to Twilight. Twilight Sparkle's eyes widened as she found herself nose-to-nose with an infuriated rainbow pegasus "I've known Fluttershy her whole life, and I know she hasn't always been like that!"
"Um, I'm sorry," Fluttershy interrupted, "But...like what?"
"LIKE A TREE!"
