Read It and Weep

[whooshing noises]

Twilight Sparkle: Hey, Rarity. Hey, Pinkie Pie. What are you looking at?

Pinkie Pie: Rainbow Dash and Rose Light! Aren't they the most daring devil? I mean, the most devilish darer? I mean—

Rarity: They're dazzling!

Pinkie Pie: Ooh, yeah, that's a good word. They're dazzling!

Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle: [gasp]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Pinkie Pie: Ai yi yi yi yi!

[crunch]

Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle: Oohh.

Pinkie Pie: So much for dazzling.

[heart monitor beeping]

Applejack: [muffled] Are they gonna be okay?

Fluttershy: [muffled] Oh, I'm so worried!

Pinkie Pie: [muffled] Is their faces gonna stay that way?

Rainbow Dash: Awwww.

Twilight Sparkle: How are they, doctor?

Doctor Horse: They're going to be fine. Luckily they have friends like you who got them over here in a jiffy.

Rose Light: Huh, how long do I need to lie here? I've got things I need to do!

Doctor Horse: Well, that all depends on both of your recoveries, but I'd say a few days minimum.

Rainbow Dash: You guys have gotta get me out of here! I'm gonna climb the walls!

Pinkie Pie: Ooh, just like a spider! [to Doctor Horse] Did the crash somehow give them super-duper spider powers?

Doctor Horse: Nnnno, nor did it give them amazing healing powers. They need to stay in bed for a few days.

Rose Light: Few days? Might as well be a few months, or a few years!

Fluttershy: It's not so bad, Rainbow Dash and Rose Light.

Applejack: I bet the chow in here is hoof-lickin' good.

Rarity: And the hospital gowns, they...match the curtains!

Pinkie Pie: And look! You have a roommate!

[wheels squeaking]

Rainbow Dash: What's this? 'Daring Do and Poppy Cloud and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone'.

Twilight Sparkle: This is the first story in the series. I own all of them. [squee]

Rose Light: No thanks. I so don't read. I'm a world-class athlete. Reading's for eggheads like you, Twilight. Heh, no offense, but I am not reading. It's undeniably, unquestionably, uncool.

Rest of main cast: [laughing]

Applejack: Is she serious? Who doesn't like to read a bang-up tale from time to time?

Rarity: Why, a good book is almost as magnificent as silk pajamas on a Sunday morning, heh!

Twilight Sparkle: Reading is for everypony, Rainbow Dash and Rose Light!

Pinkie Pie: Yeah! I love reading, and my head isn't even close to the shape of an egg! It's more the shape of an apple, or maybe an orange, but a big orange! More like a grapefruit really...

Nurse Sweetheart: All right, my little ponies. Rainbow Dash and Rose Light need their rest. You'll have to come back tomorrow.

Twilight Sparkle: I think you'd like Daring and Poppy. They're a lot like you two. Adventurous, fierce, and undeniably, unquestionably, unstoppable.
