"...nightingale, blackbird, how is it you siiiiing?"

The phonograph on Wishing Star's bedside table belted a tinny rendition of Sweetie Tot, drowning the oppressive silence of her hospital room in music. The sterile solitude in the cold room had prevented Star from getting very much sleep; her subconscious was constantly listening for the sound of a foal snoring in a nearby crib, feeling for the brush of feathers against her flanks. The lack of these passive signs of her family's continued existence disturbed the unicorn more than she had suspected was possible, and she was growing antsy in her prison cell of IV lines and white linen. The doctors had told her that it would be a further four days before she was allowed out of the bed. An eternity, by her reckoning; she might as well have been banished to purgatory.

The only things she had to relieve the boredom were the record player that Icefox had left, and a small stack of magazines. Sadly, she was down to the last few pages of the last of said books, and knew that as soon as she was finished with it, her boredom would likely escalate to terminal levels. All that would be left would be the blank walls of her room and the crackling sounds of the music she had been left with.

The song currently playing reflected Star's mood almost perfectly; apart from the regular visits paid her by the brusque, overworked nurses on their rounds, the mare felt as though she had been cooped up in here for her entire life. If something didn't happen to break the monotony soon, she feared she would go quite insane.

Icefox

Snowbird walked in and sat down at Star's bedside, having sent Kalidus off with Ice. She was glad that her friend would be okay, but just to be on the safe side she refused to leave her, only going when the hospital staff dragged her out and returning the instant visiting hours began again. She had Ice bring her food from time to time, and she would occasionally step out to get anything Star needed. This was one of those times, it seemed.

"Is there anything I can get you? New books, new records, new conversation?"

"ZZZZT- -AIT, what's your rush, what's your hurry? You gave me such a fright-- I thought you was a ghost!"

Star's elbow clipped the phonograph when Snowbird suddenly appeared in the doorway, making the bedridden unicorn start it surprise. The phonograph's needle slewed wildly across the record, stopping on a different track and resuming its playback. It was as though the machine had a sense of humor in its chance selection of music; the manic tune fit Snowbird's personality to a T.

"Ugh, you almost gave me a heart attack! No, I'm fine. It's just really boring in here, you know?" said Wishing Star, scooting back up against the pillow a bit more and retrieving her magazine from where it had gone flying when she'd jumped. The music change finally caught her attention, and she decided to ask about the odd coincidence.


"...is this record player sentient or something?" Star wouldn't put it past Icefox to leave an enchanted record player in here with her.

Snow shrugged as she sat down. "Yeah, probably. You know Ice. The big question is if he comes back for it; he'd let you keep a normal one. Enchanted, not so much." She relaxed, before trying to strike up some sort of conversation; Star looked bored to tears.

"So, I checked in with Flare and Moonshine today, they're doing well, and can't wait for you to get back. I think they'll stop by sometime today or tomorrow, so you have that to look forward to! ^^"

"Knowing Flare, she'll be here in fifteen minutes with both the kids. That'll be nice. Until that happens, though, I'm kind of at a loose end here. I mean, all Ice left are showtunes and I'm out of magazines. And this room is just so drab, you know? It's like they wanted you to be as bored as equinely possible. Do you have, like, a board game or something?" chatted Star, her mouth reeling off a short list of complaints almost unconsciously in between the things she had meant to say.

There was the sound of noticeably hard clopping through the halls of the hospital; well, every few steps or so anyway.

Galaxy was walking along, using her spell to keep track of all the doorways; however, even then, she still had to reach up and feel the braille beneath the room numbers (hospitals being one of the few places that had it). She knew what room Wishing Star was in and had come to see her; but she'd left Titubi at home to catch up on her rest. The flutterpony was still weak for her physical age, so she needed rest as much as an young foal did.

She eventually found the right number, then stepped in hesitantly. "Wishing Star? Is this your room?"

Snowbird pulled out a deck of cards and was about to ask Star what her game was when Galaxy called out from the hall. Snow opened the door for her, before welcoming her into the room.

"Yeah, she's right here. We were actually about to start a game of cards, but that can wait. Should I be here for this, or would you rather have some privacy?"

"Hi Galaxy! I'm glad you decided to visit, it's really boring around here. And I don't think she came over to fondle me while I'm bedridden and helpless, Snow. I mean, if you have other things to do then you can go, but nopony said you have to leave." said Wishing Star, giving the deck of cards a look of longing before shrugging it off. A game would have been nice, but chatting with friends was entertaining too.

"So, Gal. What's up? You didn't really drop by for a quick bit of molestation, did you?"

Galaxy sighed at this. "As I have to continually remind you and Annamoon, I am both straight and lacking in any sexual feelings toward ponies of any sort."

She was used to the mare's off-color commentary on her and just about everything else; and this old joke had reached the point where it had stopped being funny and was just something that was said. Rather disheartening, really, but there wasn't much she could do for it. "To be perfectly honest, I'm just here to make sure your alright and weren't completely bored out of your mind. I've spent more than my fair share of time in hospitals and know how they can be; also, Snowbird, stick around. If I'm not mistaken, she desperately wants that game; and I'm rather useless at cards."

Snowbird nodded and took the cards out of the pack, shuffling them before beginning to deal them onto the tray Star's meals came on.

"Spite and Malice okay? I think we can hold a conversation and play that at the same time." She began to deal the cards out, making stacks of thirteen for both of them and four into their hooves.

"So, Gal, you do anything interesting lately? We haven't talked in quite a while, it seems."

Picking up her hand of cards with telekinesis, Wishing Star stared at the floating rectangles for a moment before flipping the top card of her pay-off pile over and smiling. An ace.

This got tossed into the middle, opening the game neatly.

"Well, she got a kid, and apparently had some kind of bucked up adventure in a foreign country. Your turn."

Since, even with her spell, cards were all blank pieces of paper, Galaxy just sat down on the side of the two other mares to stay part of the conversation. "It's pretty much what Wishing Star said." The overly pink unicorn nodded at the other horned pony. "I'm raising a child; though not in the biological sense, she's a pony/changeling hybrid that Morpho made during the changeling invasion. I'm trying not to think about it too much, but she's a nice pony; though the whole psychometric thing takes some getting used to. As for the thing with the foreign country, I don't want to talk about it; it involves a lot of death, insanity and various other things that made it horrible. Also, one of these days I am going to have to have you help me find some more jadeite; I'm still working on finding the spell I need, but there's only enough in that lump I have to make one eye."

"Pitty is making eyes?" Moonshine ran into the room, looking up at the pink unicorn eagerly. "I din't know ponies made eyes!"

Fireflare walked in after him, shaking her head. "I'm pretty sure it's only Galaxy, Moon." She took off the blanket draped between her wings, revealing a somewhat bleary Glory Star. "Hey there, Star. I thought you could do with seeing a couple of familiar faces."

Moonshine jumped from Galaxy's side and began to bounce up and down next to the hospital bed. "Madwe says you're... really sick so... we came to... make sure you're... getting better Mommy!" He stopped, panting a bit, before pulling his forehooves onto the mattress and looking at Wishing Star closely. "Are you getting better?"

Snowbird grinned and turned her card; a six. Not a huge problem, and she played a two out of her hand before putting a king on her table. "Your turn."

She had heard that Morpho had made some changeling-pony hybrids, which had taken the name of Flutterponies, and figured that that was just the kind of thing Galaxy would run into. Of course, then the entire conversation was derailed by a very hyper ball of fuzz.

"Hey Moonshine, hey Flare! You guys got her faster than I thought."

Bursting into laughter at the sight of Moonshine's eager face bouncing up over the edge of her bed, Star's face lit up at the sight of her family. When the little unicorn had stopped his pogo-stick imitation, she reached over and hauled him up onto the bed with her, ruffling his mane and giggling.

"Yes, sweetie, I'm getting better. Have you been behaving for your madre?" she asked of the colt, before drawing another card and setting down a three and four.
