Unfamiliar
It had been a normal afternoon for Sky Blue. She was happy to walk around town with her friends, as she had not seen them for some time, so eventually, they stopped at a café for a drink to catch up.
Luckily, though she had been away for some time, not much had changed. No changes in relationships, employment, or housing, or anything. But her laughter was interrupted by an all too familiar voice.
Her heart beat faster, the hair on her neck stood on end, and her friends noticed she was breathing heavily. But before they could ask her if she was alright, from behind her, somepony walked to her.
Grabbing her by her shoulder was her ex-boyfriend, and it took every bit of strength in her body to not react more intensely than startling from his touch. With her teeth clenched, she turned to him.
Wearing his characteristically fake smile as he stood towering above her, her ex introduced himself to her friends as Light Rain's ex. But he was met with confusion and silence, from the whole group.
Though she saw through his facade when he bluntly asked if anything was wrong, Sky told him she was not who he thought she was. But when she turned around, Cherry looked at her knowingly, and nodded.
But her ex did not stop, and insisted she speak with him, grabbing her by her shoulder again, which was a grave mistake on his part. She grabbed his arm in an instant, and rose from her seat in fury.
In a single move, she twisted his arm, making him groan in pain. But when she dislocated his elbow, the bone shattered, his pain skyrocketed, and the following sound chilled every close pony's spine.
Then, she let go of his broken arm, he fell to the ground, screaming, and caught the attention of a pair of nearby Guards. As they ran towards Sky and her ex, Cherry got up and stood in between them.
With Cherry as witness, along with her friends, and several other patrons in the café, Sky faced no repercussions for self-defence. The group left after Sky apologised for the disturbance she caused.
With a kind smile, Sky thanked Cherry, the only one who knows what happened between them…

Swimming in the cold.
Sep 24, 2023; 10.45am
Light rain all around, pattering on the water, sending out delicate circles as they meet the surface.
I’m the only one in the pool. The frantic world melts away, leaving in its wake a rare quiet.

*green just sat on the table in the cafe*
The group from Ponyville, consisting of Twilight and Solar, Decaf, Rain, Cherry and Green, were sitting in the Centre's cafe, drinking some hot beverages, both to calm their nerves after the apparent incidents of the night, and to more easily pass the time at the Centre until the others arrived, after which they could wait to visit Celestia together.
After arriving at the Medical Centre, having followed Celestia and her entourage of guards, Eclipse and their group were told they would not be allowed to visit the Princess. The Doctor told them that, for one, Celestia needed her rest, and for two, that it was not yet a visiting hour at the Centre.
Moments after arriving at the Medical Centre, Decaf and Eclipse had sent off the scale Light had given her, imbued with a message, and they were currently waiting on the other group to arrive. It had been a while since they had last seen each other in person, though Eclipse and Light had had contact via written messages.
A little while later, Light and their group, consisting of Harvest, Caff, Banana, Violin and Princess Luna, arrived at the Medical Centre and asked to see Celestia, to which they received the same answer as Eclipse's group. The receptionist did point them towards the café, saying that another group asked to see the Solar Princess, and who were now having a drink, waiting until they can visit.
Moving towards the café, making sure they were not too loud as to not disturb others in the Centre, the groups met and exchanged greetings, as well as introductions; as Caff and Decaf embraced each other, not having seen their sister in a few days, Luna, Violin and Harvest met the Ponyville group as Green Apple was introduced to Light and their group. After ordering some drinks and small confections, everyone took a seat again and spent time talking amongst each other, waiting for time to pass.
Eclipse noticed Boom was not with Light and their group, and asked where he was and how he was doing. After looking at Luna, who gazed downwards with a disheartened and slightly aggravated look, Light explained that Boom was not around as he was the reason Celestia is in the Medical Centre recovering from her injuries. He had left a few days ago to get a gift for Light, and returned by falling on Celestia at the end of the Gala.
Shocked at this news, they asked Light what they were planning to do next, to which Light again had no answer. The only hint they had was the note Boom had left them in the Gardens after the fiasco at the Gala, which Light took to mean that they would have to wait for a message from him, both to receive the gift he had been speaking of for a long time, as well as find out where he went off to, or where he was now.
Putting aside Boom's business, time flew by for the group, the evening turning to night and heading to morning, as they barely noticed time tick by while they were enjoying time with their friends. As the morning was approaching, and Celestia was unable to raise the sun, Luna headed outside to attempt to raise the sun herself, something she had not often done before. Fortunately, the sun rose without many issues, though Luna was more exhausted than usual because of it.
After Luna came back inside and had time to drink some water and rest a bit, a Doctor came to the café, telling the group that Celestia was awake and that they could visit her, but only with a few folks at a time. Luna stepped forward and asked Eclipse and Light to accompany her, while the rest of the group stayed in the cafe.
After telling the group they wouldn't be long, Luna, Eclipse and Light followed the Doctor to Celestia's room. Before entering, Luna stopped before the door and said:
'When I find the one that did this, he will rue the day he ever met me and dared to hurt my sister.'
Light gently took Luna's hoof and promised her they never wanted this to happen, and they would make sure that Boom would be held accountable for his actions.
