Anyways just wanted to thank everyone who has read 'One Last Question' so far! Thanks guys!
Dr. Oakleaf watched intently as the chariot circled once overhead, and then descended slowly towards the hospital. He shuffled his hooves nervously as it softly landed on the dirt road, rolling to a stop. He saw Princess Celestia, confidently opening the chariot door and walking towards him.
He expected - no, he hoped, - that he would see a smile on her face, that she felt better about this than he did. He was counting on her, and that poor little filly was counting on the both of them. But she wore on her face a grave mask as she towered over him.
"Princess Celestia." He forced his eyes to meet her gaze.
"Dr. Oakleaf." Her voice was barely more than a whisper, but it sounded tired and weary.

"Please," She nodded.
Dr. Oakleaf led Celestia inside the hospital. They weaved down hallway after hallway, and the farther they went into the hospital, the less and less ponies they saw. Finally they came to a door marked 'SPECIAL ACCESS ONLY'; a skull was printed below the words.

"I-I apologize for my rude behavior, Miss Celestia."
Celestia firmly shook her head. "I think nothing of it, my dear."
"Thank you," She said softly. "Anyhow, I assume that you are here to… see the patient?"
"Yes," Dr. Oakleaf nodded.
He walked over to the one-way mirror, flicking on the overhead lights.
"There she is," He whispered, pressing his face against the cool glass and peering into the padded room.
