>with a jingle of a bell green was on her own
>"come on back here Greenie"
>she *just* sat down
>oasis went around and popped the door open
>then came over to help her up
>"no no, i got it" she politely declined as she heaved herself up and back onto her crutches
>her shoulders and hoofpits were still on fire from the long walk
>Oasis was kind enough to scoop up her saddlebags and carry them behind the employees only door
>green did a small harumph as she started to Clak her way after her
>flying ahead with nice big bounds now that she wasnt carrying all her stuff
>Oasis shimmied open a curtain to one of 6 empty stalls
>"would you like a bed to yourself?"
>green was slightly skeeved out by the whitewashed crashbed and medical equipment
>"no thanks, hey uhm,"
>two awkwardly long crutch-taps and she was close enough to mumble quietly
>"can i see where Morning works?"
>Oasis did a pure, enthusiastic nod
>"follow me!"
>out through the this outpatiet room, and Oasis stuck a hoof in a room to the side to flip the light on
>a whole wall of medicinal herbs in various states of growth stood before them
>each plant in a neat clay pot with a very verbose scientific name labelling it
>and at the very end, a crafting table with a microscope, papers and papers worth of chicken scratch, and of course leaves and crumpled parts of the plants all over the place
>and on her little stool, a hot pink heart-shaped pillow
>you can tell where green decided to park her rump and let her stiff, braced right leg stick out to the floor
>"so do you, like, play on TV?" oasis innocently asked
>'ffffffffffffFUCK'
>"no. i play like, amateur semi pro"
>that made her mind started replaying the incident for the 83rd rerun

>"do you get paid?"
>"if we win, which ive done"
>"woah, so you are a pro"
>green stifled a snort
>because that was when she reached the moment of glancing up and seeing J.B.'s face as both refs spammed their whistles to stop the game
>it wasnt his fault.
>"can i get you anything? asprin, ice pack..." her companion jumped up to be at green's beck and call
>'no. stop asking.'
>"a new LCL"
>oasis laughed, and not a fake one
>"youre funny. here, try some of this"
>she dug into the bush of plants of the wall and pulled off a nice long vine with textured leaves
>green studied it for a second
>"its what ibuprofens made out of"
>green cautiously bit off half and started grinding it in her teeth
>it tasted like high quality bermuda grass with a minty aftertaste
>"doctor waysis?" a small pink and yellow filly poked her head around the corner
>"hey there sweetie~" green's new fan said like she was her mother
>"my daddy wanted to give you these eggs for helping him"
>the filler handed her a sideways saddlebag with her mouth
>"awwww thank you so much!"
>"whos that new doctor?"
>"oh! this is one of Morning Glory's friends Greenie, shes not a doctor, shes actually a pro basketball player"
>**'no. im not.'**
>"sup"
>the filly wormed her way over to green
>why is she getting envious at the fact she can walk?
>this unnamed filly went over to greens braced leg and wrapped her hooves around the lower half, giving it a nice big ole hug
>green felt the swollen part throbbing against her head
>finally she looked up
>"can you dunk?"
>"yeah"
>"Posey Dew!" a stallions voice called from outside the office

>wait anypony can just come back here?
>the pink-lemonade colored filly instinctively turned around and wormed her way out the same way she came
>and who green assumed is her dad parked himself in the doorway
>Posey Dew standing perfectly underneath his torso like a layered Chinese Doll
>"here, I wanted to sweeten the deal"
>the anonymous father handed a thick glass bottle to Oasis
>'is that... moonshine?'
>"awwe, thank you!"
>"yeah, we had so many of them eggs they were comin out of our ears, Lunar Boom already sold half of them and now we gotta GIVE the rest away just so we got space for the new pigsty!" oh celestia he liked to talk
>"did you finish the fence for it?"
>"you bet your sweet cheeks i did"
>oasis laughed a bit
>"alright well, stay off that hoof for a week, ill see you around okay?~"
>"the hoofs a long way from the heart."
>a hearty, gruff dad laugh
>"thanks again Docko!" as the two of them left
>"byeeee!" posey called out behind her, Oasis matching it
>green didnt know this place was so close knit that you could pay for surgeries with eggs

>"so how long have you known Morning Glory?"
>"we went to high school together for a couple years, she was always in the..." green stuck a hoof above her head to emphasize that she was in the upper echelon of her school, "...like the turbo nerd accelerated classes"
>"she is a very smart gal"
>"i liked fucking around with my friends so i said 'no ma'am,' calculus was enough for me"
>Oasis did a lightning quick glance outside when green swore,
>"its kind of funny, cuz, we went to a young fliers prep school, and you know like obviously most of the ponies there were you know, in the Wonderbolts pipeline, so they were kind of, putting all their eggs in that basket if you catch my drift?"
>Docko tilted her head to show interest
>"so what they did is they hired two like, college professors and started a 'magnet program' to essentially poach the smartest pegasi from around cloudsdale and make it look like we were a really good school"
>Oasis was waiting for more
>"and then of course like, make them fly around some clouds once a year because ~student athletes~ or whatever" green recalled all the hoity toity chancellor neighsay talk that she heard throughout her schooling
>the one doctor in the room nodded again, fully expecting more that green didnt have
>"speaking of, how longs it been?"
>"about 20 minutes" oasis said with a glance at the clock
>that Heart pillow had morning glory's scent, and green was starting to get clingy
