Golden placed the thermometer in his patient's mouth. He waited a few minutes before taking it out. His eyes widened when he saw the temperature. "Your running a very high fever... You also have a severe case of the flu." Golden Heart informed Silverbolt. "I'm going to have to keep you in for a few days... Just until I can see some improvement in your condition." Golden Heart placed the oxygen mask over the stallions mouth once again. His patient needed the oxygen.

"I've never been asked out before. Umm... I just don't know what to say to him." Fluttershy replied in her soft voice. "I like him too... But I don't know how to be romantic or anything like that."

The grey stallion lifted off the oxygen mask and placed a bucket beside Silverbolt. "Take it easy now Silverbolt... I'm just going to get a thermometer." He informed the stallion so that he wouldn't worry him. Golden went back over to his medical supplies. He rummaged through them for a short period of time. After he had found the thermometer, Golden Heart returned to his patient's side. He kindly waited for his patient to vomit before he was even to think of attempting to take his temperature.

Dark Spark suddenly asked if Fluttershy knew first aid. "I know some first aid... But I mainly help animals get better." She answered the question. Fluttershy looked at DJ Fire Fight. It was a nose bleed. Fluttershy began to think. She didn't really know how to stop a nose bleed. "Oh.. I'm sorry. I don't know what a pony is supposed to do when another pony has a nose bleed. Light... Do you know?" She knew she hadn't answered his first question. But Fluttershy was overwhelmed. Nopony had ever asked her out before. Fluttershy just didn't know how to answer him.

The pegasus asked if Golden remembered him. As he walked, Golden thought about his past patients. He did remember. 'Pixie's friend... If she saw him now, she'd be in tears.' The thought crossed his mind as Silverbolt slipped out of conciousness. Golden Heart sighed. He would have to answer that question when his patient was awake. The stallion carefully placed his patient in a spare bed. He used his stethoscope to listen to Silverbolt's heart and lungs. His heart sounded fine. It was very strong. But his breathing seemed to be slightly on the shallow side. Golden took precautions by placing an oxygen mask on the blue stallion. He checked his patient's pulse. That was also normal. Golden went to get a thermometer. He wanted to take Silverbolt's temperature.

"Why would I want free apples?" Gerty replied. She noticed that Applejack looked as though she was deeply afraid of something. She didn't even want to show her own face to the red mare. Gerty Greetings didn't understand what Applejack was so worked up about. The mare only wanted the truth. She didn't want to cause any trouble for any pony. "I don't know what your so worked up about... I just don't want to be lied to." Gerty spoke in a gentle tone. She saw a letter on the floor and knew it must have belonged to Applejack. "You've dropped your letter on the floor." Gerty told the orange mare. "I'm going to sit outside in the fresh air... Your welcome to join me if you want. I'm not angry at you... I'm disapointed." She then passed Applejack and headed outside to be alone for a little while.

Welcome to Canterlot.

Spike sighed softly. He had forgotten that Rarity was leaving to visit her family for a short period of time. The dragon was starting to miss seeing Rarity on a regular basis. He had grown really attatched to the mare. Pinkie Pie had told him that it would still be tons of fun. Yet somehow, Spike couldn't believe that. He put on a brave face and replied. "I guess it could still be fun."

Dark Spark seemed interested in Fluttershy. But the mare was unsure of the reason. 'Well, I shouldn't be rude... Everypony deserves a chance to be listened to. But what does he want to talk about? I only know about animals. Perhaps he's got a pet that he needs some advice on.' Fluttershy thought to her self. "Umm.. I guess I can listen to what you want to say. Oh... Light, I've known Twilight ever since the day she came to Ponyville." She replied to both of their questions.

Golden heard the voice of a pegasus in the waiting room. He calmly trotted out into the waiting room. He saw a pegasus shaking and coughing. The blue pegasus looked at though he had the flu. A bad case of the flu. But, Golden didn't want to jump to conclusions. It was always a wise idea to health check the patient before coming to conclusions. However, the pegasus looked weak. Golden Heart decided to carry him into the examination room. He carefully lifted the stallion onto his back. "You leave all of the work to me..." He told the stallion as he started to walk.

Spike was taking a little break. However, he wasn't reading a book. He was looking at his reflection in the mirror. Spike was flexing away at his upper body to see if he had any new muscle growth. His arms had not changed in the slightest. But the baby dragon teased his self into believing that he was a tough guy. He then spotted Pinkie Pie and immediatly stopped gazing into his own reflection. "Hi Pinkie! Is Rarity coming here too?"

Fluttershy nodded in response to Light's question. But first she had to dismiss the birds. They needed to know that practice time was over and they were free to have fun. "Okay little bird friends... You can go and fly together now. Thank you for coming over." Fluttershy watched as all of the birds gradually disbanded off in different directions. The robin was the last to take flight. She smiled a gentle smile. They were all happy. The pegasus began to lead the way.

The green mare watched at the train came into view. It came to a gentle stop right before her eyes. The earth pony smiled at the thought of seeing her friends again. Yet a little thought at the back of her mind kept telling her that something would always be missing. Her mutt was the missing friend. Paw Print first met all of her friends when she had her elderly mutt by her side. But this time, she didn't haver her dog. Tricks was at rest. Paw Print put on a brave smile and remembered what her father had told her when she was grieving. "One mutt dies at the same time as another mutt is born. Another stray companion will be needing you to love him someday."

Welcome to Canterlot.

Paw Print remembered that she would be meeting her old friends today. She was already in Stalliongrad. The mare had a feeling that her friends may arrive on the train. The green earth pony calmly made her way to Stalliongrad train station. Once she was there, Paw Print waited alone.

"Twilght is one of my best friends. She is talented... But everypony has talent in them." Fluttershy replied in a gentle tone.

"I've got it." Pixie said.

"Pixie... There's a hole in it." Gerty said as she noticed a rather large hole in the center of the glittering blindfold.

"But this is the only blindfold we have." Pixie Parcel replied.

"It's been in the family for years... I knew we'd end up replacing it eventually, so I picked up a few spares. I'll just go and get one." Golden told his daughter.

Golden Heart left the room to get another blindfold. However Pixie Parcel was attatched to the old one. She didn't want it to be replaced. It held too many precious memories. Gerty saw the glazed look in her daughter's eyes and moved closer to her.

"We won't get rid of it... I know it's special to you. But it's useless for playing pin the tail on the pony with. You can have it to keep." Gerty told her.

Pixie smiled. She could keep the special blindfold as a keepsake of her childhood. The mare hugged her mother, feeling a sense of joy once again. Golden Heart returned at that moment with a plain blue blindfold.
