It was August ninth, the day after Rainbow Dash's accident. Celestia had just raised the sun, so I'm guessing it was about six a.m. that morning. The sun was shining brightly and it looked like a lovely morning. Too bad I wasn't feeling quite so sunny. I woke up with the most awful headache and my legs were also feeling achy. I was supposed to take my animal friends on a picnic that day; I just hoped they weren't too disappointed. Thankfully, they seemed to understand and they all tried their best to help make me feel better, even Angel. Being taken care of didn't quite feel right but I knew that there wasn't much else I could do until I felt better.

Despite the condition I was in, I couldn't help but worry about all of the other creatures. If I couldn't take care of them, who could? Suddenly, as if somepony had answered my question, the door opened. "Hi, Fluttershy." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked over and saw that Pinkie Pie had come to pick up Gummy, her pet alligator. She eventually realized that I wasn't feeling well and asked if there was anything she could do to help. I told her that she could help take care of the other animals, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Pinkie Pie, being the good friend she is, happily accepted.

Days went by and Pinkie Pie kept coming back to help however she could. I was becoming more concerned because my fever never got any lower. In fact, it only seemed to be getting higher. As it went up, my chills got worse. I eventually decided that I had to go to the hospital.
