They said it was an ‘accident’.

The truck had seemingly come out of nowhere, but Silver swore it had only started up when they began crossing the street. It came barreling down the road, missing everyone…but her. Within seconds they were on the scene, and the paramedics spirited them both away in an unmarked ambulance. It never used its sirens.

The hospital was unlike any Silver had ever seen. It was clean, too clean. The walls were bare, no paintings, no posters, not even any charts or signs. The rooms weren’t even marked. It seemed almost empty, save for the nurses and single doctor escorting them. The usual organized chaos of an emergency room was nowhere to be seen. Everything was…off.

The staff were off too. They were entirely too happy. They always hada grin, were quick to laugh at something whether it was funny or not, and never blinked quite often enough. They seemed to simultaneously be ignoring and obsessing on the two pony girls.

They said it was ‘the only way’

Finally they reached a room deep in the hospital and rushed Sweetie inside, leaving Silver behind with a single nurse. When Silver begged to know what they were going to do to her, the nurse merely replied “What they have to.” She was then escorted to a waiting room. There were only 3 chairs in it, and not a single magazine, children’s book, or “The Holy Words of Faust” to be seen. Silver was a fraid to leave, partially for Sweetie’s sake… and partially out of fear of how the staff would react.

They said ‘she’s better now’

After hours of waiting, the doors finally opened. Silver was led into the spacious room, and gasped. On the bed lay Sweetie Belle, but her body… Silver sat on the leather chair next to the bed, taking Sweetie’s hand in her own. It was so cold, so hard. There was a light hum in the air, and Silver knew the source.

At her touch, Belle opened her eyes and gazed at Silver, only half-awake. “Hey…”

Silver could barely keep her tears back “Sweetie… What did they do?” But Sweetie Belle could only smile. “Spoony, I’m still me, okay? They couldn’t take that out.”

A request for Chao1234 who actually helped me make it. He wanted Sweetie Bot and Silver Spoon in a creepy hospital after Sweetie’s transformation, while leaving a lot of questions unanswered.
