S2 E16 everypony! Hearts and Hooves Day is up next!

....

The sky was blue, the air was fresh, a perfect day to practice his flying. Malibu soared through the air above an open field, feeling happy to be able to fly during the day after being limited to only gliding at night. He loved his mother's sun on his skin, and the wind in his mane.

He then spotted a rainbow blur in the skies too, and hearing oohs and aahs from two of his friends, going to see what the fuss was about. The only pony that could make a rainbow blur was Malibu's marefriend Rainbow Dash. But when Malibu got a little too close, he gazed down, seeing Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity all shouting out in horror.

Confused, Malibu turned about all too late, the rainbow blur smacking hard into his side. Malibu shouted out in agony, the bones in his wings breaking, falling to the ground, hitting it hard, his vision blinking black and red before going unconscious.

"Ooh!" The three other mares winced at the sight. "So much for dazzling!" Pinkie Pie commented. Twilight glared. "No time for jokes, they need the hospital now!" She and Rarity used their magic to lift up Malibu and Rainbow Dash, taking them to the Ponyville Clinic, hoping their friends will be ok.

...

Malibu felt terrible all over, slowly feeling himself coming back to his senses, eyes fluttering open, vision blurry. He could hear voices.

"You think they're gonna be ok?" It sounded like Applejack.

"Oh, I'm so worried!" Now it was Fluttershy. Malibu winced, head hurting like the dickens. Especially his wings.

"Are their faces gonna stay that way?" He heard Pinkie Pie ask, his vision now finally coming into view, seeing his friends minus Rainbow Dash before him.

Malibu groaned again, rubbing his head. "W-what happened?" He asked groggily, trying to sit up before soon his wings felt terrible agony, making him cry out. Twilight pushed him back down onto the bed which he now realized was the hospital. Perfect.

"Stay down, Malibu. You got hurt really bad." Twilight explained as gently as she could. Malibu turned his head around, now seeing his marefriend there with only one hurt wing while he had two of them broke. He gasped. "So, both she and I... landed each other here?" Malibu croaked. Applejack nodded. "Yup, pretty much," She said with a sad smile, Rainbow Dash doing her own groan.

Malibu turned with a small glare. "Why were you doing that, Rainbow Dash? You could've killed us both!" He shouted, cringing again in pain. Dash frowned. "It wasn't my fault!" Before Malibu could counter back, Dr. Horse turned to speak to the gang. "If you were asking, you two are going to be fine. Lucky for the both of you you have great friends that brought you over here in a jiffy."

Rainbow Dash covered her eyes. "How long do I have to lie here? I got things I need to do!" She moaned, Malibu folding his arms, turning away. "Thanks for asking if I'm ok," He muttered. Fluttershy stroked his shoulder. "Things will be fine, you'll see Mal." She encouraged. Dr. Horse chuckled. "Well, that all depends on their recovery. But I say for Rainbow Dash about a few days minimum. And for him, nearly a week or two since his wings are bigger and they're both damaged."

Malibu's face fell. He was gonna be stuck in the hospital for a whole... week? Rainbow Dash's face looked worse than him. "You guys have gotta get me out of here! I'm gonna climb the walls!"

Pinkie squealed. "Ooh, just like a spider!" She turned to Dr. Horse. "Did the crash somehow give them super duper spider powers?" Dr. Horse shook his head. "Nnno, nor did it give them amazing healing powers. They need to stay in bed for a few days."
