AJ:  
Oh what I do?

Badly, get off that darn phone  
Apple Bloom’s in danger  
Badly:  
shuts off phone  
Don’t worry helps on its way  
AJ:  
but even the firepokes can’t do nuttin  
Badly:  
This guy can  
Cannon roars up in Camero  
Drako jumps out  
stands there looking at blaze  
AJ:  
Drako! Please do sumtin!  
Drako:  
scales building  
fire does nothing to him  
Applebloom  
You’re going to be okay  
Just keep calm and do exactly as i say okay  
applebloom nods  
picks up Applebloom and looks down out the window  
about 25 feet  
you’re gonna have to wrap yourself up inside my coat  
wraps coat around her  
now it’s gonna get really hot  
and i wont lie  
you are gonna burn your hooves  
but whatever you do don’t let go  
you understand  
keep that coat closed up  
it’s gonna hurt  
a lot  
get ready  
here we go  
scales down building as quick as possible and quickly moves away from the fire  
opens coat and throws applebloom to the floor  
applebloom is crying  
her hooves are badly burnt but other than that she’s okay  
Cannon hands him some bottled water  
he starts pouring it on her hooves  
over and over, more and more water, more bottles  
carries her into the ambulance  
ambulance drives away  
Badly gets a phone call  
AJ:  
Badly, you think she’ll be okay?  
Badly:  
Drako says she’s gonna need surgery but she’ll make a full recovery  
She’s gonna be in hospital for a long time though  
He’s already given her something to numb the pain  
…  
in hospital  
AJ:  
what ah don’t understan is wah yall didn’t ask a pegasus pony to fly up all there and save her  
Badly:  
The pegassuses live in Cloudsdale  
the speed the fire was moving she would have died before they got here  
AJ:  
well what about unicorns  
Badly:  
a levitation spell is too risky  
if it went wrong she could be flung into the flames  
AJ:  
ahm just so grateful mah little sugarcube is okay  
Tell Drako that ahm thankful for him saving mah little darling okay?  
Badly:  
You can tell him yourself  
He’s here in the hospital  
AJ:  
they wah hasn he come over to see how shes doin?!  
Badly:  
He’s in the fracture clinic  
AJ:  
What?  
Badly:  
AJ, Drako has brittle bones disease.  
He was so quick at rescuing applebloom he hit the ground hard  
He broke the bones in both his legs  
AJ:  
but ah saw him carry applebloom into tha ambulance  
Badly:  
he would have been in agony  
but his only thought at the time was helping applebloom  
Worse yet, Drako can heal if he bleeds  
But the fractures are internal and haven’t torn any flesh inside  
He’s gonna be bedridden for a few weeks while his bones knit together again  
…  
in the fracture ward  
[|]:  
…  
Drako:  
I know  
but there’s nothing I can do  
I can’t cut myself now  
It too long after the fracture  
It could heal wrong  
[|]:  
…  
Drako:  
Well someone is gonna have to take my place for a while  
I’ve already got someone in mind but i don’t know if they’re ready for it  
Finding a successor has been a lot more difficult than you’d imagine  
[|]:  
…  
Drako:  
No you don’t have to do that  
It’s fine, really  
I don’t need it  
Just go home and worry about yourself  
No point taking on my pain too  
[|]:  
…  
hands gift  
Drako:  
what’s this?  
[|]:  
…  
Drako:  
you’ve never given me anything but money before  
[|]:  
…  
Drako:  
Well thank you  
Thanks  
Really, I mean it  
[|]:  
…  
Drako:  
Okay  
We’ll arrange something later  
Badly & AJ walk in  
AJ:  
SWeet Celestia! What is that?!  
Badly:  
Oh my gods!  
[|]:  
…  
jumps out of window and runs awaay  
Badly:  
Drako  
What was that thing?  
Drako:  
That was one of my clients  
You know, the ones that pay me for torturing people who cause suffering  
Badly:  
That thing was hideous!  
Drako:  
I’ve been around monsters like that for many years of my life. I grew up with them.  
They may look ugly but they are really quite nice people on the inside  
Badly:  
really?  
that thing?!  
Drako:  
Oh get over it  
Now I want you to bring Pinkie over here  
We’ve got a lot to talk about  
AJ:  
Wah would you want Pinkie?  
Badly:  
That thing was gross  
Drako:  
Since I’m incapacitated for a bit  
I need somepony to help do my work  
AJ:  
But Pinkie’s no murderer  
awkward silence  
Sugarcube, is there somethin yall aint tellin me?  
Drako:  
Trust me, it’s best you don’t know the details  
Now go get her  
The quicker the better  
AJ gallops off and Badly follows  
Not you Badly  
Badly:  
stops and turns  
What?  
Drako:  
We need to talk about things regarding foals  
Badly:  
Oh  
shit

If only someone could fly

Hey, it’s the pony that got shit beaten out of him/her by those unicorn racists in one of SmellsLikeBeer’s other pictures.

Can you blame her for going back home?
