Hola! This chapter is about a week or two after the timberwolf accident, and she is very excited to finally move her leg and wing.
Also, if you didn't notice, the story picture is now Kate! :D
Today. Today was the day I could finally take off the bandages from my wing and leg! Being stuck in that wheelchair was terrible. Every part of my body would fall asleep every 10 minutes! I slowly unfolded my wing and struggled taking off the bandages. It wasn't that easy, ya know. Too bad I don't have fingers anymore. I leaned over and took off the cast from my leg. I moved it around, got up and stepped on it lightly, trying not to put too much weight onto it. It was still a bit sore, but I'm guessing it should be fine by tomorrow. I waved my wing back and forth, it wasn't sore. I was expecting my wing to heal up faster than my leg. I was ready and pumped up to tell Rainbow Dash that the lessons are back on! Even though I'll regret wanting the lessons when I wake up at five in the morning again… I started wheeling the wheelchair towards the hospital to return. I also had an appointment there, for the doc to see how the healing was going.
I arrived at the hospital and returned the wheelchair, and was waiting on a seat for the doc to come and call my name. I looked to my side and saw magazines. The magazines were about health and such of course. Being as bored as I was waiting, I decided to take a peek. I grabbed one with my two hooves and tried to flip through the pages. It didn't quite work as much as I expected… the pages kept falling back to the cover. After a few minutes struggling to flip the pages, a nurse had called my name.
"Kate, the doctor is waiting." She motioned me to come towards her and lead me to the room he was waiting in. She nodded, and left me at the door. I walked in to see the same doctor who helped me the first time I came in. He was looking at an x-ray of my wing when it was broken. I hadn't gotten to see it until now, and now that I looked at it, it was terrible. The wing had at least 3 broken bones in it. I had never ever broken a bone in my body until the timberwolf incident, and I really hoped it would be my last.
"Doc?" I asked after a few moments of silence.
"Oh, yes, Kate, please sit down." He motioned towards the bed next to him.
I walked over and sat down.
"I see you've taken off the bandages, and cast." He said, tilting down his glasses.
"Sure did!" I replied ecstatic, looking at my finally healed wing, while waving it up and down, as well as my leg.
"Do you feel any pain?"
"Well… I don't think I would be looking happy and waving my wings and leg around if I did feel any pain." I replied, jokingly.
He didn't seem to think it was funny.
"Right… now we're going to take an x-ray of your leg and wing, to see how the healing process went."
"Okie!" I replied, stretching my wing out. Man it felt good to do that, after it being in bandages and not being able to move it really sucked.
He moved the big camera towards my wing and I heard it beep. Now it was time for my leg. I held my leg up and heard another beep.
"Alright, Ms. Kate, it looks like your wing has healed up properly, and your leg has too." He said giving a small smile.
"Great!" I stood up and started walking towards the door to leave, "See ya, doc!" I happily trotted out of the hospital, and didn't look back once. I hope that was the last time I ever had to go in there! I was so happy to get out of that hospital, and have those itchy bandages off. I felt like nothing could ruin my mood!
I decided I would go to Sugarcube Corner and get myself a celebratory cupcake for being able to move again! I trotted up to the door and accidently bumped into something.
"Ugh! Like, watch where you're going!" I looked below me to see a small filly, she was light pink, had purple and white hair, and was wearing a tiara. She also had a friend with her. Her friend was grey, had light grey and white hair, was wearing big blue glasses, and she had pearls around her neck.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" I apologized, and opened the door halfway, when I heard them laughing behind me.
"Oh my gosh, look at that, Silver Spoon! She's a blank flank!" she said to her friend, laughing at me and pointing at my rump. Why the hay was she pointing at my rump!?
"That's so sad! She's like, an adult pony and has no cutie mark!" she replied, laughing with her friend.
"Blank flank? Cutie mark? What?" I turned around, demanding to know why they were calling me a 'blank flank'.
"You're a blank flank!" She said, sticking her tongue out at me. "Everyone has their cutie marks except you and some other dweebs!" she said, pointing at her rump. There was a small tiara on it. I noticed everyone else around the town had pictures of different things on their rumps. I looked down at mine, and it was blank. I felt my whole face get red, and my ears fall back.
"Ha! Blank flank, blank flank!" they yelled at me while running away.
I slowly walked into Sugarcube Corner, and sighed. Why did everyone else have these, tattoo things on their rumps and I didn't? I know I shouldn't be all sad for not having a tattoo on my rump, but a lot of people had them. I didn't even notice until now. Did anyone else notice and judge me when I didn't know? Oh, gosh, Kate! It's just a picture on someponies rump, why is that so special anyway?! Psshh, who cares?
I looked up and saw Pinkie hand cupcakes to some customers. She had a 'cutie mark' too! They were balloons. Ha, maybe because she loved parties so much. I wasn't really even in the mood for a cupcake or sweet confection at the moment… no matter how delicious the aroma was. I changed my mind and slowly walked out for a walk.
Pff, cutie mark, who needs a cutie mark?
