>green fn was mired in the depths of the ~ottoman~
>her body was deflated by boredom, her braced right leg carving a groove into the stack of designated leg pillows
>she's had 4 hours to meticulously try and test every single one in the living room and find what worked best
>settling on using one thick memory foam pillow as a base, and a floral square shaped pillow from the ~loveseat~ on top
>giving enough firmness to elevate her leg, and create enough of a point to shove the apex of of her femur and tibia up into her kneecap
>the two ends of her LCL rode up only the smallest of millimeters, the bone between them feeling bare and exposed under her skin
>the top pillow's rough texture and fancy print clearly meant it wasn't for resting use, but resourcefulness is a virtue
>the soft fuzz of the couch itched green's rump to get up and go do something useful
>besides staring entranced at the TV, playing "Most Electric Rainbowshine Cup Final Wins (Part 1)" on Ponetube for the 1.5 millionth time
>she knows every second of this by heart, Angel Martín's '14 overtime winner that gutted the Bigcity Rangers, into the snowpitt penguins winning back to back cups in 116
>spanning about 5:30-6:42 in the 9 minute 59 second video
>the crunchy crowd applause and announcers blasted through the house
>green's half shut eyes gazed longingly at the pegasi dogpiling in celebration on the cloud court, hats and scarves cascading down on the victorious ponies under deafening cheers
>30 ponies, 120 working legs
>the sound of a closing door caught green's ears, and she instincively spammed the volume down
>morning glory's endearing face wordlessly came around the corner
>green double tapped 'ok' on the remote, stopping the background noise
>"im BOOOOOOOOOooooooored" she droned out, letting her head fall on the pillow

>morning continued to come around to her patient's bed
>"i knowww greenie, you've been stuck inside for three whole days"
>green groaned as morning started to pet the top of her exposed head, still limp on the pillow
>"we are going out into town tonight! that'll be fun"
>"yeah but thats just like, standing aroooound" she protested like an antsy filly on a long sky trip
>it was painfully obvious what she wanted to do
>morning gave an empathetic look while giving more tapping head pets
>she's fought against her own injuries
>glory leaned over and tightened her arms around the black mare
>making a point to puff her chest out and pull the green's head into the tufts of floof on her chest
>completely covering it by resting her chin on top of green's mane
>green couldnt help but smile blissfully
>"little injured filly" she quietly said
>green blushed underneath, the heat in her cheeks warming her marefriend's chest
>"cmmtyulikk, duuorffosurjjry?" green mumbled, muffled by all the fur around her
>morning lowered her hooves and rotated her head to the right
>and gave green a sideways smooch on the lips
>"what was that?" she asked
>"cant you like, do ortho surgery?" green repeated,
>morning sympathetically shook her head
>"no" she sincerely whispered, like she did the first 3 times they had this conversation
>"come oooooooon youre smart! you can figure it out!"
>"thats not my specialty green"
>"but youre like, one of those middle-of-nowhere doctors that needs to know a bit of everything, surely at least Docko knows a thing or two!"
>"Green! ugh..." morning said slightly annoyed as she sat up with an elbow on green's torso,
>"I'm a pathologist, I study diseases and patient cases. I've learned a bit of pharm from Oasis, or... Docko..."
>morning rolled her eyes slightly, thinking of all the moonshine she had to get rid of
>"...but that's all, i can't practice out of my field!"
>"you know how to farm?" green asked, confused
>"what?"
>"you said you learned a 'bit of farm'"
>"OHHhh. that's pharm with a pee-eych, like pharmo: drugs"
>"ooOOOooh. that makes more sense" green vocalized,
>"but still, like, what do you do if somepony has a compound fracture that needs to be fixed now, like, right *right* now?" green genuinely asked, still trying to get the answer she wanted to hear
>"we stabilize and airlift them to Freespace, further up the river" morning answered with the honest truth,
>"but what if like-"
>"GREEN!" morning yelled out as she squished green's cheeks together hard with her hooves, snapping her to attention
>then she mashed her snoot into green's
>"mmmicantfixyourkneelil'fiwwyyurrgonnahavetowaittilnextfriday" she topped it off with a quick peck on the nose, delivering the harsh truth with love,
>"and besides, we dont even have an MRI." morning said in a more analytical tone,
>"ok..." green's snowpity left her body with the resigned acceptance of her fate
>silence lingered as they both looked off
>"...but im still bored."
>morning threw her body back over the top of green's torso, melodramatically sighing
>green laughed as morning started to crack up herself

>as green was still laughing morning wiggled and writhed the back half of her body so that she was laying belly-to-belly on top of her marefriend
>green still giggling like it tickled
>morning finally settled, cutely loafing with her front hooves
>"so what'cha watchin'?"
>"oh, just, skyball stuff."
>green glaced at the paused video
>showing 2.6 seconds on the clock before the canterlot capitals won their first cup in 118
>"i dont use my teevee that much, how did you get the internet on it?"
>"oh it came with it, you didnt see?"
>green had plenty of time to check every tree under every menu option and find PoneTube
>"also, check this out"
>green whipped out her phone to show her something
>"did you know you could get animated contact pics?"
>then showed her marefriend the contact picture belonging to "blue dream," being a 2 frame gif of a skull with batwings, black hearts moving up and down
>sandwiched between "jb" and "chaos"
>the last three texts on the threads being "bring the ciders," "here," and "marehaps"
>"pretty sick, right?"
>morning nodded with intriguement
>"why dont any of you ponies have phones?" she turned it around
>morning shrugged, "nopony's really seen the need for them"
>"but there's a cell tower literally right outside of town, i got 3 bars out here" green pointed out
>"yeah... i mean, we have emergency SOS but we all see each other so much, and nothing's so pressing it can't wait"
>"but what about in the clinic if you get a patient that's-
>"nope"
>"-got an injured-"
>"nuh-uh"
>"-and needs an MRI-"
>"negative"
>"-so she can-"
>"nopenonopenope..."
>green was giggles as idle kept on spamming denials, shaking the curl in her mane side to side
>the two stopped for a second and looked into each other's eyes
>green suddenly burst out laughing, morning catching it not long after
>ending with a cheek squish and snoot press
>"WHYAREYOUSOCUUUUUUUUUTE" she mumbled out before giving a smooch on greens lips
>the black mare's cheeks turning magenta again 
>"well, ill leave you be greenie~"
>morning got up and turned around again, more neutral this time
>"seeya filly" green called out
>"bye silly filly~" morning lightly responded
>before sticking her head around the corner one last time
>"oh! be ready to go when i come back, and wear your socks!"
>"wwwokay" green took notes
>and with another door close came 4 more hours for green to kill
