Seventeenth Party

[elementoflol]

[Pinkie had received a special gift from the castle at Christmas - unfortunately, said gift had spent most of the last month under her bed, being too shy to come into the castle populace at large.

In order to try and remedy this and show Gummy that there was no need for fear, Pinkie had (logically...) decided to dress herself in an alligator costume as encouragement. Anyone walking through the lobby today would see the peculiar sight of a small pink pony dressed in a green costume, with a small (and slightly dopey looking) baby alligator stood by her side.]

See, Gummy? The lobby is a super fun place for alligators to alligate!

[Spike follows, every so often doubling back to see how House is getting on. Man why are you humans so SLOW? Haven't you heard of galloping?]

I'm gonna have to warn the others too, oh man this is so bad.

[atrophied]

[House is heading for the elevator. He might need the clinic if he's made to walk up stairs. While he walks, he yells at Allen to have the oral-activated charcoal, gastric lavage kit and antibiotics out.]

[save_the_souls]

[I'm slow because I'm carrying a frigging pony. You try carry a frigging pony! But he's doing his best to make haste, and he's at the clinic shortly, running into to set her on the closest operating table and heading to get the stuff House ordered; talking over his shoulder to Spike as he does his run around]

Please wait in the waiting room, okay? We'll let you know once she's stable.

[huffythedragon]

[Waiting room? The place where you have to WAIT? Spike takes a few heavy breaths, before reluctantly going to the waiting room

BUT HE WILL PACE, FOUNDERS DAMNIT. HE. WILL. PACE/i>]

[atrophied]

[Pace all you want, li'l buddy. House soon show up and passes Spike without a word. Behind these doors is an area for professionals and patients only. And Allen.

~*~AND ONE MAGICAL TIMESKIP LATER~*~]

Go tell the hyperventilating dragon outside she's fine before I have to admit him too.

[save_the_souls]

[Well that was one magical timeskip. Yaaay. He sighs tiredly as he switches gloves that haven't been through...pumping pony stomach]

All right.

[He heads over and pokes his head out of the waiting room door, looking for Spike]

Ah...dragon?

[huffythedragon]

[At least Spike's getting pretty used to being referred to by his species from living here. He looks up, his widdle face FULL OF WORRY]

Is she gonna be okay?

[save_the_souls]

[he steps fully into the room and smiles down at the little guy]

Mm. She'll need to rest tonight so we'll be keeping her here for observation, but she'll be just fine.

[huffythedragon]

[Allen, your leg is getting HUGGED now]

Thank you so much for saving her, she's a really important pony and we need her to keep the laughter going.

[No. Really]

When can we see her? I know the other ponies will be real worried about her.

[save_the_souls]

[AWWW, SO CUTE. He'll reach down and pat his head very lightly]

It's no trouble, I'm glad we were able to help.

[You know, help her be saved by House's DUMBASS MOVE; but he'll keep that in his head]

She needs rest for right now, but I'm sure she'll be happy to see you in the morning.

[huffythedragon]

[Yes, never tell Spike this or House will be hounded for the rest of his days]

Okay, I'll let everypony know and thanks again! You guys are real heroes.

[save_the_souls]

[Oh who said he's letting off House easy?]

We're just doing our jobs, really.

But before you go, there's something I wish to say. [He pulls out a prescription bottle of pills out from his pocket] Do you know what these are?

[atrophied]

[Don't think House isn't listening in. He's not above clocking you with the door "accidentally."]

[huffythedragon]

[Spike leans up to look at them, before shaking his head]

Nuh uh. Is it some kind of human medicine?

[save_the_souls]

Mm, that's right.

They're pills that are meant to help people when they're ill, but they are very strong so you never want to take more than what's directed to you by a doctor and you certainly don't want to take medicine that is meant for someone else.

Your friend didn't know this and she choose to eat an entire bottle of strong painkillers. She got off very lucky, but if it happens again there's no telling if that luck will hit twice.

So it's very important that she or yourself don't do this again. Do you understand?

[huffythedragon]

But...the old guys said they were vitamins. Why would he lie? I mean, he looks like he knows what he's talking about...

[A scoff] Trust me, I'm not stupid. I don't take anything that's not naturally in the wild.

[save_the_souls]

[Because he's an arse...]

Probably because we were in the middle of an emergency and vitamins seemed easier to explain. [he shrugs at the lie. The last thing we need is the kid convinced the doctors are out to kill them]

Good. Then can I trust you to make sure your friends are more careful too? It's a very important task.

[atrophied]

[Right around this time, the door suddenly swings open. If you were behind it, Allen, House is not sorry. He's managed to wheel the bed with Pinkie Pie on it toward the door.]

Walker!

[huffythedragon]

There's kind of a big difference between them...

But I'll make sure we're all safe. Not everypony eats everything like Pinkie does.

[OH SNAP, WHAT'S GOING ON]

Is everything okay? Has something happened to her?

[save_the_souls]

[Sorry he's busy getting hit by the door and falling forward]

AH!

[atrophied]

[Frowning at that undignified squawk.]

Who said you could lie down on the job? Get her into recovery. She can't stay in here.

[And to Spike:]

She's fine. She'll spend a few hours in recovery before being moved into the main room. Once there, you can stay with her until she's released.

[huffythedragon]

That's good.

[Looking up at him with BIG SAD DRAGON EYES] So it was an honest mistake right? With the tablets she took?

[save_the_souls]

[He makes an annoyed sound as he gets up]

You didn't have to hit me with the door...!

[And you can cover your own ass with the second part House B\ ]

[atrophied]

Yes. [What? You expected him to have qualms lying to an innocent child?] And you didn't have to be standing behind it. Who does that?

[huffythedragon]

Well, it's okay now that she's healing. [House you are getting a leg hug. Yes. Yes you are] Thank you for saving her!!
