>Day 25 for Anon in Equestria
>Be Flizzy
>You are waking up after having a lot of crazy dreams the night before
>For some reason, you had dream after dream of Anon hating the surprise you had for him
>They were different responses each time, but all with the same intention of rejection of you and your surprise
>So much time wasted, so much sorrow all in a single night of dreaming
>But you didn't wake up in tears, instead you woke up feeling sick
>Not the same type of sickness you felt yesterday when you saw the tricorn sleeping on Anon's lap, but a different kind that left you lethargic
>All of these confusing feelings as of lately have been annoying you, so instead of worrying about it, you just decide to shake it off
>Today was going to be a big day and you were not going to let any stupid stuff you can't understand ruin it for you
>Speaking of confusing and unhappy feelings, is the tricorn still there?
>You roll yourself over on your bed, which has become the bottom bunk, with the top bunk being claimed by nobody ever since Anon's "incident", towards Anonymous
>There he sits, sleeping in a slumped backwards posture and a book lying on his chest
>His lap is completely vacant, the tricorn from the night before being nowhere in sight
>The feeling of relief overcomes when you realize that Anon's buddy is no longer around; it makes you kind of wonder if you just imagined all of last night
>Whatever, yet again, dwelling on something so incomprehensible would be stupid anyways
>You have a big day ahead of you and a lot of planning you needed to get finalized for the big night
>Today was going to be one of the best days of Anon's and your lives, you were sure of it
>...

>Day 25 in Equestria
>Be Anon waking up after a calming night of reading aloud to a sleepy tricorn.. who is no longer on your lap
>She must have left while you were still sleeping
>Oh well, it was still a lovely night you had
>Time to wake up and do you daily stretches
>You start to lean forward as you wake yourself up, when suddenly--..
>*CRACK*
>Ah fuck! That was your neck!
>*SNAP* *CRACK* *POP* 
"AH RICE KRISPIES THAT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD!"
>Your entire body seems to be disjointed as you attempt to readjust yourself from your uncomfortable sleeping position
>It feels much worse than just sleeping on something wrong, though
>As you open your eyes, you notice that your body's joints are all actually disconnected
"OH GOD DAMNIT!"
>As if your luck, lately, in this damn prison couldn't have gotten any worse
>Now your entire body is fucked up for some unknown reason
"Urg..."
>You grunt as you move your hand towards the button Altruist Hope left you in case you needed a doctor
>*CRACK*
"FUCK!"
>That hurt like a bitch, but you keep going
>*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*
>All of the joints from the top of your spine to your left hand keep popping in and out of place, constantly dislocating and relocating themselves, as you reach for the button
>Almost there..
>Almost there!
>ALMOST TH--
>*POP*
>An your back gives out, as you fall upon the button
"...fuck. Oww..."
>...
>A couple of minutes later, a nurse pony comes into your cell
>She walks over to you and asks your hunched over body, which you now refuse to move
>"Are you alright, Mr. Anonymous?"
>You sarcastically reply,
"Oh yeah! I feel like a million bucks!"
>The nurse pony tilts her head in confusion
>"You feel like a million male deer?"
>You attempt to look up at her to give her the face of 'are you fucking with me?', but immediately halt when you hear and FEEL what you should have been able to predict
>*CRACK*
"urg..."
>The nurse pony takes attention to the crack the back of your neck has made, along with your groan of defeatist agony
>"Are you sure you are alright? You don't sound too well."
>This time you decide to be a little less sarcastically snarky towards her
"No. I am not doing fine, my entire body seems to have gone and screwed itself up."
>The nurse pony looks at your crumpled form in astonishment
>"How did you possibly do that to yourself?"
>You reply in a tone that reflects the little amount of patience you have left with her not just fetching the doctor to help fix you
"I DON'T KNOW! Please just get my doctor. I am in a lot of pain."
>At your harsh reply, she rushes off quickly to fetch the doctor, leaving you sitting in a very unpleasant position for the next few minutes
>Eventually Altruist Hope enters your cell with a team of different types of medical ponies
"Hey doc.. urrgh. Mind helping a bit?"
>"Oh gosh! What have you done to yourself?!"
>...
>Over the next 20 minutes or so, Altruist Hope examines all of the bones in your body with the group of medical ponies that had followed him
>After a lot of consultation and arguing with the other doctors of what is wrong with you, all of them seem to agree on the same diagnoses of what ails you
>"Every joint in your body, excluding your jaw, is dislocated."
>Ohoho-Reeaaaally?!
"Ya don't say?! I wouldn'ta guessed! So glad to have such highly trained medical professionals looking after me!"
>You are being as sarcastic as you could possibly be, but sadly the doctors don't seem to pick up on it
>Instead Altruist Hope gives you a huge genuine smile and replies happily
>"It is what we are here for Anonymous."
>You sigh at his either blatant stupidity or great acting performance
>"So it looks like we will need to get a professional that has experience with precise movements and a good knowledge of the pressure points on a body."
"And who on your team is that?"
>Altruist Hope thinks for a moment, tapping his chin, before giving a response that leaves you highly displeased
>"Nopony, it seems. None of us have ever dealt with this sort of thing. We are doctors, not chiropractors, sadly."
>Fucking lord, can your day get more unlucky? You guess you have to stay this way for however long
"Okay doc. So what you are telling me is that I am boned?"
>Altruist Hope sniggers at what he believes is you making a pun
"It's not funny.."
>Altruist Hope apologizes as he goes back into "professional mode".. or to the best of his abilities
>"You see, Anonymous. Your body structure is relatively unknown to us still. The closest relatable creature with a body structure similar to yours, that we have been able to find, is a monkey's. It has many differences still, but it is closer than most others."
>A familiar face enters the room as the doctor is speaking
>"So your best hope will be our dear friend, Darius here. He both is precise and a very quick learner."
>You look as best you can to the big 6 armed monkey who has entered the room
"H-Hey Darius. Sorry to drag you out of whatever you were doing. Mind lending a hand.. or six?"
>Darius does not even smirk at that joke
>Instead he walks over to the doctor and borrows his clipboard, which has several x-ray images of your body from different angles
>He looks over it for a second, then nods and looks over at you, expressionless, and says in a deadpan tone
>"It seems that I can help you. Do not move at all, I need to feel around."
>Not like you had a choice, what with the extreme pain that came with moving any part of you
>The first thing Darius does is take your neck and force it downwards, causing a terrible jutting shock to go up your back
"SON OF A! GRRR!"
>You hold yourself back from cussing, wanting to yell at Darius for the sudden movement, when suddenly he places his hand on the back of your neck and applies pressure to the top of your spine
>*POP* *POP* *POP*
>The pain from that previous move completely disappears and is replaced by a feeling of relief, as the tension that was knotting up your neck muscles completely dissipates
>Darius' hand slowly continues to glide down your back, slowly applying a burst a pressure every few millimeters
>*POP* *POP* *POP*
>He is holding your body upwards with his other hands, slowly arching it into a correct posture with each bone he realigns in your spine
>Eventually he reaches your tail bone, popping that back into place, before searching for your tail
>A few seconds pass as Darius pats the area around your butt
"Whoa. I'm grateful for you fixing my back, but shouldn't you buy me dinner before we get into something like this?"
>Darius gives you an unamused gaze, before using one of his hands to "brain duster" (open palmed smack to the side of your head) you like your father used to whenever you acted like a smartass to him
"Oi!"
>Darius continues to pat your butt down
>"I need to find your tail, or else I will not be able to properly fix your balance."
>Your what?
"Uhhhh. I don't have a tail.."
>Darius gives a look of surprise and quickly retracts his hands from your butt, exclaiming
>"Oh! I am very sorry Anonymous."
>He then goes into a semi-whisper, asking as politely as possible
>"If you don't mind me asking, how did you lose your tail?"
>This poor guy has no clue
"I have never had a tail to lose. I was born without one."
>Darius starts to look nervous, visibly sweating
>"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to call attention to your birth defect. Please forgive me."
>Wow, he REALLY doesn't get it
"No.. I mean.. I was never born with a tail and that is normal. My species don't have tails."
>As you say this, Darius pauses and silently ponders this for a moment before asking in an obviously curious tone
>"You are not a monkey?"
>You answer his question just by shaking your head.. as best you can at least
>Altruist Hope chimes in
>"Yes, Anonymous is not actually a monkey. His body structure is similar, but he is actually of a species known as 'hyooman'."
>At that, Darius gently places your back against the wheelchair and moves over to look at your chart again
>The normally calm Darius is looking almost as stunned as he was when you beat him in that basketball game
>He smiles and claps the bottom two of his hands together in excitement
>"Oh! I see. I have never experienced working with a 'hyooman' before. This is amazing! I can see the differences you speak of now."
>He once again puts down the chart and walks over to you once again, this time placing all six of his hands on your body and exploring every groove and crevice
>This does not sit well, with you. You wouldn't mind if he was doing it for medical reasons, but it seems like he is just sating his own curiousity.. or worse..
"Yo Darius! Stop touching me all over. It's nasty man."
>As you yell at him, he withdraws his hands in haste and nervously laughs
>"S-Sorry."
>He then once again grabs you, but this time holds up your arm
>Your shoulder makes a crack, but not even close to as audible or painful as before he adjusted your spine
>Darius points with one of his other hands to your arm towards your bicep
>"While I do apologize for haphazardly searching your body, you must understand the excitement I feel towards the physical aspect of the material world."
>He then grabs a part of your muscle under your arm and your bicep starts flexing involuntarily
>"I thought I had studied all I could learn about the physical plane, but your body is a new puzzle on its own. I can understand how it works, but based on just what I feel and see, you are much different than any other creature I have ever experienced."
"What?"
>You follow what he is saying, but you don't understand what he is getting at
>He lowers your bicep and starts feeling up your shoulder
>"What I am saying is, your body is an oddity. Now that I can properly observe it for what it truly is, I understand that you are not normal in any sense of the word."
>He tightens his grip on your shoulder for a few seconds, then releases as soon as you hear another..
>*POP*
>Not only are you enjoying your shoulder being fixed, but it seems so is Darius
>As he pops your joint back into place, his smile widens
>He continues to feel up your arm and pop little things back into place; him looking like a kid that has gotten more presents under the Christmas tree than he could ever dream
>"Astonishing! Amazing!"
>After popping the last of your knuckles Darius looks at you with the biggest grin you had ever seen from him
>"Please do allow me to further explore your body and find out all of its mysteries."
>You cringe as you imagine the six armed monkey "exploring your body's 'mysteries'"
"No offense dude, but you are really creeping me out."
>This does not deter him, as he reaches towards the chart and points at your lungs
>"I really must beg of you to allow me access to researching your physical being. Just look at this, your lungs! Do you see?"
>You begin to back up as the big six armed monkey shoves your x-ray pictures into your face, acting like one of those autistic "brownies" with their "Our Small Horses" dolls
>Fucking disgusting "brownies"
>You shove the x-ray pictures out of your face with your now functioning arm
"Yeah, yeah! I see! I have lungs. What about it?"
>Darius starts to shake his head side to side while giving a big shit eating grin
>"No. No you don't see your lungs!"
>You grab the x-ray pictures back from him and look at him suspiciously
"What you talkin' 'bout Darius?"
>He points again towards your lungs on one of the x-ray pictures
>"The entire space around your lungs is not in the x-ray image."
>Altruist Hope jumps into the conversation as he peers over your shoulder towards the x-ray pictures
>He gasps and attempts to take the x-ray pictures from you, but you keep it away so that you can see what is with all of the commotion
>As you look at the pictures you see exactly what he is talking about
>The entire area around where your lungs should be are completely blank on the pictures
>Every single picture, the rest of your body comes out perfectly, but everything around your lungs just are blacked out; as if it was a black hole
"I-I don't get it. What does this mean?"
>Darius places his hand on his chin and looks at you as if he had successfully baited you into his trap
>"It means we have a mystery on our hands."
>As you move to protest, Darius cuts you off and continues
>"I know you are unhappy about me needing to study your body, but I must. It is obviously a piece of my destiny."
>He walks over to your other arm and pops all of the bones back into place in a few seconds flat
>"I will be fixing your body up, good as new. The only thing I request is your cooperation in solving the unknown reasons for your body being an abnormality."
>As you are about to reject his offer once again, Altruist Hope gives his two bits
>"I honestly believe that you should allow him to study you, Anonymous. We have been trying to find out the mysteries surrounding your body already, but have come up with close to no results. If you ever require advanced medical attention again and we still do not know how to fix you, then that may be an abrupt and unavoidable end for you. That is the exact opposite of what we want.. of what I want."
>Altruist Hope starts to give you the best puppy dog eyes he can give, which works kinda well, what with him being a cute little pony half your size
"Errrr.."
>Darius takes the chart and begins to look through it again
>"I am sure that you are curious as to the mysteries of your body also. I will not keep any secrets from you, so please allow me to research your physical being."
"Errrr.."
>To be honest, all of this talk of mystery does indeed intrigue you
>But after Bright Blood, you never want anyone to research you in shady ways again
>But... dat mystery
"Hmmm..."
>Altruist Hope continues to give you puppy dog eyes
"Hmmmm....."
>Darius continues to eye your chart, grasping his chin and pointing around at different parts of your x-ray pictures
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........."
>After a few more seconds of weighing your choices, you sigh and give your consent
"Well jinkies.. I can't say no to a good mystery, now can I?"
>Altruist Hope hops around happily while saying
>"Yes! I promise you won't regret it! We will find out all there is to know!"
>Meanwhile, Darius places down the chart and gives you a bright smile
>As he does so, he lifts up his six hands and presents them to you with open palms
>"Do not worry Anonymous, you're in safe hands.. six of them!"
>Fucking Darius just stole your joke and used it himself
"You're a dickhead."
>You laugh with him as he sits down on your chart
>...
>Darius finishes fixing you up, in which he tells you what he plans to do to research your body
>"With your doctor's permission, I will be assisting in the research of your body and its functions. You will just come for your check up, as you do every day, but we will take some time doing some extra small tests and examinations. It will not take much extra time, but it will help me understand much more about the make-up and functions of your physical form; which I will build knowledge upon that base of information and relay it to you as soon as possible. This way, we both are informed."
>These terms seem not too bad
>Honestly, now that it has been brought up, you really are curious about a lot of the mysteries surrounding you being in this magical land of talking creatures
>Things just went so fast before, that it seems you did not even have much time to think of it
>You kinda rolled with the punches
>With Darius and Altruist, maybe now you can start to shed some light on why you are here and what exactly is going on
"Thank you Darius, I am happy to accept your offer."
>Remembering Bright Blood, you do have to add in one extra thing
>Instead of speaking directly to Darius, you turn your head towards Altruist Hope while directing the words to Darius
"The biggest condition I have for agreeing with this is freedom to not be subject to anything I do not want. I can decline anything at anytime and you will respect that. ALL RIGHT?"
>Altruist Hope gulps as he recalls the bad memory that haunts him almost as much as it does you
>Darius doesn't understand what context you speak of, but can sense that this is important
>"Absolutely, Anonymous. I will respect any boundaries you place, but please understand that I will need some freedom to properly conduct research on your physical form."
>You look at him sternly, not smiling or joking around at all
"No. You need to understand that if I refuse anything, you will respect that and immediately stop what you were doing. If you don't respect that, then I am going to withdraw my consent."
>Darius is a little shocked by your sudden aggression and insistence
>Altruist Hope gives Darius a pleading look silently
>"I really don't seem to understand, but I will respect your wishes. On my honor as a monk-in-training, I swear I will listen and study only what you consent to."
>And with that, the tension that suddenly filled the room is now gone as you give a smile to the two of them
"All right then. Sounds like a deal. Well, now that I am all good, I am going to go get something to eat now."
>You start to stretch in your wheelchair to get out all of the kinks your body still had after being adjusted
>As you begin to roll yourself out of the cell, Darius stops you quickly
>"Before you go, may I ask why you are in a wheelchair?"
"Why am I in a wheelchair? What?"
>His question seems rather stupid; why would someone be in a wheelchair for any other reason than the fact they are injured
>Did he mean something else by it? Maybe he is asking how you got into it
"Well if you are asking for the story, I would rather not share it."
>Darius shakes his head slowly
>"That is not what I meant. I was asking why you are using a wheelchair when you are perfectly healthy."
>Pfft, what?!
>You are beginning to regret allowing him to research your body, he is obviously really stupid or something
"What do you mean? I am not 'perfectly healthy'. I need this to get around, my body is too injured to get around on its own."
>With a shameful look on his face, Altruist Hope agrees with you
>"Yes. Anonymous is indeed badly injured from an.. accident..."
>The both of you gang up on the obviously misinformed Darius
"Please move, Darius. I appreciate your help, but I really just want to get something to eat now."
>You attempt to wheel yourself forward out of the cell, but are once again stopped by Darius
"Dude. Seriously, move. This isn't cool of you."
>Darius, completely unamused by the both of you disregarding his question, grabs you and picks you up out of your wheelchair
>Altruist Hope panics and asks in haste
>"D-Darius! What are you doing?!"
"Hey! Seriously, stop it! Put me down!"
>This is getting on your last nerve; what the Hell is his deal all of the sudden?!
>Darius puts you down gently on the ground, making sure you are prepared to catch yourself before letting you go
>As he loosens his grip, you put out your feet to try and stand on the ground
>This is gonna hurt..
>As he lets go of you, you brace yourself both physically and mentally, fearing for the pain your wound will bring upon standing without a support
>When you hit the ground you let out a loud
"OW!"
>..
>But it doesn't hurt at all
>Darius is standing next to you, looking closely at your body as you keep standing completely on your own
>The wound on your stomach doesn't hurt at all
"What?"
>Altruist Hope is as confused as you are
>"You're all better Anonymous? We had a prediction that it would take about another week to heal you though. Were you feeling better yesterday too?"
>You shake your head and exclaim
"No! I was doing terribly yesterday, to the point where my body felt like it was being ripped apart when a new in-mate picked me up by my arm."
>Darius touches your abdomen, feeling around for a second before drawing his hand across the scar under your shirt
"Hey. What are you doing?"
>He then gets eye level with your stomach and begins to feel around the entire area, applying a bit more pressure than you feel comfortable with
"Ow. Please don't press too hard."
>As he presses down, he asks while still closely observing your abdomen
>"Did you have an accident or life threatening injury around this area a while ago?"
>His guess is almost completely correct, which slightly impresses you, but not too much as you do have a scar
"Yeah. It was not a while ago, but just a week ago or so."
>Surprisingly, Darius seems unfazed by this
>"I see. Your body truly is amazing. It seems you have the ability to restore your own life force with magic."
>This comment takes the doctor by surprise as he begins to deny Darius's theory
>"That can't be. We had tried many spells to try and heal Anonymous's wounds. He was immune to all forms of magic we tried to cast on him."
>This does catch Darius's attention, but all he does is nod as he starts to use his six hands to draw a pattern of circles up your abdomen
>"I see very clearly. Magic of an unusual sort has been used in this area. One is a form of chaos magic, extremely rare. This small amount that is still lingering is more than enough to save several ponies' lives, or take them. The other form of magic matches Anonymous's body's unusual ki as an exact copy."
>Darius continues to use his fingers to draw shapes around your, now exposed, abdomen and back
>Instead of being creeped out by his intense observations, you are actually interested; he obviously sees something with how he is acting, though you see nothing
>This arouses your curiosity
"So what is that other magic from? Am I unknowingly using magic or something?"
>Ignoring you for another minute or so, Darius continues to stare into your midriff as if it were a crystal ball
>After about 5 minutes of observation, he finally responds
>"I see."
"What? What do you see?"
>Darius sits in a meditating position and begins to focus while speaking to you of his epiphany
>"Your wounds were indeed fresh yesterday, but were healed today. The cause is magic, but an abnormal magic that is compatible with your also abnormal body. That magic is either produced by you or was produced by another who could replicate your body's unique properties and transmit their magic to affect you. The second explanation seems to be less likely, as there are no magic users I have ever known that have shared the same strange attributes that your body seems to have. Though the second explanation also seems more likely, as the amount of magical energy left circulating in your body is still fresh enough to be able to measure precisely. The amount of energy currently circulating your body would have been enough, if used as a form of raw magic, to both heal your wounds and cause the muscles of your body to spasm so intensely that negative repercussions would come from it, such as dislocating most of the bones in your body."
>Once Darius finishes his observation into what is likely happening, he closes his eyes and begins to meditate for real
>"I need to meditate on this. You may go and eat now, your body likely needs nourishment a lot more than you can feel if my initial judgement ends up being correct."
>This entire thing is crazy. You have no idea what you have stumbled upon
>Maybe the phrase "ignorance is bliss" is actually correct, because right now you are more confused about what is up with your body than you have ever been before
>And yes, that includes both the times when you hit puberty and when you found out how to masturbate
>All of this seems more like an adventure that is waiting to happen than anything normal, but then again, with Flizzy not being around for so long and your only source of enjoyment being books for the entire last week, you could use some adventure in your life
>Altruist Hope looks at you for a few seconds, then towards the x-ray pictures, then nods confidently
>"Don't worry Anonymous. I am just as confused as you are, but we will find out what exactly is going on with you. So don't worry."
>He then starts pushing you out of your cell
>"Now go and get something to eat. We have kept you long enough."
"Okay then.."
>Altruist is surprisingly pushy to get you to leave, though you aren't complaining
>While you can't feel your hunger at the moment, you know that your body is crying out for nourishment
>You stretch your legs and crack your back, enjoying all the actions your body once again has the ability to make, due to no longer being injured
>Even though it was only a week, getting full control of your body back feels like a godsend; a present from heaven
>You never really appreciate what you have, and what you don't have to deal with thanks to having it, until you lose it
>God bless the ability to walk
>With a skip in your step, you make your way down to the cafeteria to hopefully see Flizzy; you REALLY want her to see you now
>You don't know why, but today felt like it was going to be one of the best days of your life, you were sure of it
