Glamour was popping down some grapes that she had stolen form some shopper when she felt her throat begin to close off and her breath come in tighter uncomfortable gasps. She couldn't breath all the sudden. It was just like that one time. It was terrible. Glamour panicked, letting out a lash of telekinetic magic in the alley she was in, trying to keep up her image as an earth pony. She was doing well so far. But she still couldn't breath. She clutched tightly to her saddle bag, unwilling to let go of it no matter what.

All that was left of the rather nasty wound on Star's leg was a set of shallow pink scars, arranged in a semicircle. The infection that had resulted from the alikirin's attack had been eradicated, and the doctors had given her a clean bill of health, setting her free under Fireflare's supervision. So it was that she was making the trip home with her wife, looking forward to seeing her own home after a full week in that damned hospital. "...and the food was just terrible, you know? Simply awful. I know that they were cooking for everypony and couldn't exactly afford the best ingredients, but how do you make a salad taste like cardboard? I mean, really." chattered Wishing Star easily as they walked along, enjoying the cool breeze and being allowed to walk around. "Sometimes I thought they were doing it on purpose. What's that sound?" A faint, desperate wheezing reached Star's ears as she and Fireflare trotted past an open alleyway, and a flash of magic drew her eye. A foal seemed to be choking on something. "Uh oh!" |

Glamour let out another panicked wave of telekinesis as she couldn't breath. They were getting weaker now, though more frequent and panicked. The alley looked a mess. And any pony looking in, Glamour realized, would probably be really confused in how an earth pony filly was doing so much magic. How could this be happening again? No one had seen her take this stuff. There was no way they could have known, no way they could have poisoned it like that first time… That first time where she had trusted someone, they'd looked kind. And then she'd very nearly died like this. To be frank, if she didn't have T4 strength, she very well would have died that day. Glamour looked at the mouth of the alley, shrinking back against the wall weakly. It was the mare again. |

Fireflare shrugged. "Hospital food is always the same--" Her ears flicked just as the magic flashed, and she looked into the alleyway. "Oh geeze, she's choking!" Without another thought she rushed in, trying to wrapp her hooves around Glamour; the saddlebag got in the way, though, and she flinched. "Kiddo I can help you, just put the bag down!" |

She wasn't choking. Why wasn't she choking? Come on brain, spit it out. Why wasn't she choking? The foal Fireflare was trying to Heimlich drew another labored, restricted breath. That was it! That was why; her airway wasn't blocked, that dry whistle meant her airway was swollen!The heimlich maneuver wouldn't do any good here! Silently thanking all of the emergency procedure posters she had spent the last week staring at, Wishing Star shoved Fireflare out of the way and prized open the foal's jaws, sending a tendril of telekinesis down her throat. The magic pressed outwards, forcing the swollen tissue back enough to make room for air; an arcane tracheotomy, the equivalent of sticking a tube down someone's throat so they could breathe. "Breathe! Breathe, you'll be okay, just keep breathing. Do you have asthma or something? Where are your parents?" |

Glamour didn't have enough air to even scramble back to keep the mare from toughing her. After all, the illusions were only visual. And she was probably going to think it more than a little odd that she felt scaly when she ought feel smooth. Glamour clutched unto her saddlebag even tighter, assuming that Fireflare was trying to take it away. Then the magic… Thing happened. Weird weird weird oh Tahk that felt weird! Glamour took in a massive breath of air as she could finally breath. She wasn't quite sure what to do. The mare probably had saved her life. But she'd thought that when that guy had given her the sandwich as well. He'd been nice then too. "I thought I was going to dieeeeeeee." Glamour sobbed, suddenly breaking out into tears. |

Fireflare blinked, completely unaware of her wife's reading material for the last week and therefore astonished at the sudden turn of event. "Um... there there?" She stepped forward hesitantly, patting the foal on the back in what she hoped was a comforting manner. Was she speaking Fancy? She was speaking Fancy... "Ah... Um. I'm at a loss, do we take her to the police or something?" The pegasus gave Wishing Star a helpless look. |

Pat, pat. Scrape scrape. That didn't sound like a hoof on fur. Speaking in Prench. Prench in the middle of Canterlot wasn't so outlandish, but this particular voice was familiar. The foal didn't smell like a foal. She smelled like a Kirin fawn. Magic sparkling around a panicking pony that had no horn. An indefinite taint of ongoing magic in the air; magic that didn't belong to her and was hard to pin down. Wishing Star stiffened with fear as a horrible suspicion crept up in her mind. She knew that if she let the magic keeping the 'foal's' trachea open vanish, the organ would swell completely shut; the act of shoving it into place had probably made the swelling worse. She also knew that if her fears proved true, this particular 'foal' would probably put her back in the hospital before she passed out from lack of air. If she didn't kill Star outright. "Um. Don't make any sudden movements, hon." |

Glamour wasn't sure what to do now. At all. She put the saddle bag on her shoulder and took big breaths to try and catch her breath. Once she'd caught it enough she made her breathing go quiet and stepped out of the earth filly illusion, making herself invisible as she did so. She still looked like she hadn't moved, but the real Glamour was slowly trying to ease her way around the couple and get out of there. Something that would probably be less easy than she thought considering that Wishing Star had a tendril of telekinesis down her throat that was keeping her alive and breathing. |

"Ooooooookaaaaaay?" Now even more confused then ever, Fireflare began to examine the earth pony foal. Her sensitive ears flicked at the sound of footfalls nearby... very close, in fact. "So I'm guessing, then, this foal is some sort of illusion and the real... whatever is headed that way?" She nodded in the direction that she heard Glamour walking. "Cause... you know.. it miiiight be prudent to take her to the hospital." |

"More than prudent; she's having some kind of serious allergic reaction. If I let her go, she'll suffocate. There's just one really, really big problem; that particular whatever it is is the same one that put me in the hospital. So I'm not sure if I should touch her or not. I don't want to get bitten again. Maybe we should just follow her?" said Wishing Star, before getting up and trailing after the invisible fawn. She wasn't going to get away with a large chunk of Star's magic embedded in her throat; the unicorn could sense exactly where the energy was, it was as good as a homing beacon. |

Glamour glanced back to see that they were following her, and as the panic of not being able to breath set in, the hives and itchiness set in. Last time it had been pretty bad and itchy too. But begin unable to breath and feeling like you were about to die made that hard. Her face felt weird and swollen. Like it wasn't her own. "Thhhhop 'ollowing meeeh. Glamour hissed, spraying the words. Her tongue was swelling up too, making her words sound all sorts of weird. She rubbed her head against a corner, trying to make the itchiness go away. |

"I don't speak fancy and I don't speak swollen." Fireflare approached Glamour cautiously. "Now, what we need to do is get you to the hospital, okay?" She made a point of pulling her wings in and lowering her head, a submissive gesture; she didn't want to aggravate the situation. "Now please, calm down... I could sing a song if that would calm you down." |

"Ha ah you evan sheeing eeee?! Ga a'ay!" Huh… Maybe it was this string of magic she was feeling in her throat. Glamour tugged it out telekinetically and collapsed in panic as her throat closed up again. And she was still itchy! Damn it. Damn it all. |
