The Things We Have In Common

Four

I gasp loudly and I wake up. There they are again, leaning over my bed.

"What?" I demand after a long silence.

Fluttershy is bright red. Rarity giggles and gently takes my left hoof. I expect it to hurt but I don't feel any pain. "Oh, dear, you were talking in your sleep."

"I was?" I ask, curious. I never do that.

Fluttershy bounced her head like a nod, "Yeah. Believe it or not you were actually smiling. And giggling like a school filly. Hilarious."

I roll my eyes extremely dramatically.

"Well, are we gonna eat breakfast or what..?" I use my free hoof to gently push the covers forward. I see my hind legs with stitches as well- matching my forelegs.

Rarity let's go of me and laughs. "Um, it's five now. We already had lunch and breakfast, so we can head over to a restaurant. Sound good?"

"Hell yeah," I say, hopping out of Fluttershy's bed. I stumble in pain from my previous injuries but I don't show it.

"Then let's go," the insane cream yellow pegasus says, taking the lead out the door.

It isn't safe for me to go out in public, so I take a pair of sunglasses and a sun hat from Rarity to conceal my identity.

We sit at a table in Ponyville. There are other tables surrounding us and I feel like we're in a spotlight or something. Nopony's staring at me- yet I sense somepony is...

"And what would you like, ma'am?" Out waiter asks, way to fancy for Ponyville.

"Uh... For a drink?" I feel like I've just awoken from a dream.

"Yes." He says like it's obvious. "And..?"

I feel heat rise into my cheeks, "Um, water is fine. No lemon please." He replies with a "Okay" and leaves.

"Smooth move, Pinkamena." Fluttershy nudges me in my left ribs. I fake a smile. "Whatever."

Then I glance behind her pink tattered mane...

Magenta eyes.

Cyan coat.

Rainbow mane.

Pegasus.

Her.
