knocking
 
Whirlwind: Come in! Door’s open!
 
Hot Head: Hey Whirlwind
 
Whirlwind: Hi Hot Head! Hi Amber! gets up and stumbles as she tries to walk
 
Hot Head: Whoa, careful! You okay?
 
Whirlwind: Yeah. Still a little off balance I guess. So did you have any trouble getting up here, Amber? Sorry I couldn’t meet you on the ground.
 
Amber: It’s fine. Annie was able to use the cloud walking spell
 
Whirlwind: That’s good!
 
Amber: So, are you ready for physical therapy?
 
Whirlwind: I think so.
 
Amber: Alright, let’s get that splint off first
 
Whirlwind: Thank you so much for doing this. Physical therapy is so expensive. I feel so bad. I could pay you if you’d like
 
Amber: It’s alright. Anything for Hot Head’s marefriend
 
Hot Head: She’s not my marefriend! blushes
 
Amber: You wish she was
 
Hot Head: Amberrrrrr
 
Whirlwind: Heh, still embarrassing you even after you moved out, huh?
 
Hot Head: Nnnghhh
 
Amber: Oh relax Hot Head. I’m kidding…… kinda takes off splint
 
Hot Head: winces That looks so painful
 
Whirlwind: Well, it’s better than it was at the beginning of this mess
 
Amber: How much can you move your wing now?
 
Whirlwind: tries to move it Not that much
 
Amber: Hmmm… it’s pretty stiff. I’m just going to move it a little bit at the joints, okay?
 
Whirlwind: nods Ouch!
 
Amber: Sorry, this might be a little sore. Have you been exercising?
 
Whirlwind: Kinda. It’s a little hard since my balance is horrible. Owieowieowie.
 
Amber: Understandable. Make sure you get out and about as much as you can okay? No need to overexert yourself, but y’know.
 
Whirlwind: Gotcha
 
Hot Head: How come your feathers aren’t back yet? It’s been a while hasn’t it?
 
Whirlwind: Uhhh….
 
Amber: Her wing bone and tissues are damaged. They need to heal before the feathers can grow back
 
Whirlwind: What she said.
 
Hot Head: That sounds awful
 
Whirlwind: Fire sucks. Can’t even look at it
 
Hot Head: Guess that means you can’t stare at my butt anymore
 
Whirlwind: Wha? looks at Hot Head’s flanks and sees his cutie mark Oh! Hahaha lookit you making jokes
 
Hot Head: chuckles
 
Whirlwind: But don’t worry, your butt still looks great
 
Hot Head: Heh, thanks blushes
 
Amber: Ugh, stop flirting, you two are making me sick
 

 
Prism: Whirlwind? You home?
 
Whirlwind: yeah
 
Prism: Where are you?
 
Whirlwind: Room
 
Prism: goes to Whirlwind’s room There you are. How are you?
 
Whirlwind: How do you think?
 
Prism: Not too well it seems like.
 
Whirlwind: sighs
 
Prism: Well no worries! I am here to make your day, not 20 percent, not 40 percent, not 60 percent but 100 percent better
 
Whirlwind: Oh yeah?
 
Prism: Yes ma’am.
 
Whirlwind: And what will we be doing?
 
Prism: Flying!
 
Whirlwind: ……………………. are you kidding me?
 
Prism: Nope
 
Whirlwind: Prism I can’t! My wing……… it’s……… it’s GONE! shows Prism her back I’m….. I’m never flying again……
 
Prism: Maybe not on your own, but you can with a little help
 
Whirlwind: What are you talking Eep!
 
Prism: scoops Whirlwind on his back
 
Whirlwind: Prism!
 
Prism: Ready?
 
Whirlwind: Prism I
 
Prism: flies out the window
 
Whirlwind: holds on to Prism Are you crazy?
 
Prism: Just a little. But hey, look. You’re flying!
 
Whirlwind: ………….
 
Prism: You okay?
 
Whirlwind: It’s been so long……
 
Prism: smiles
 
Whirlwind: Feels so nice…..
 
Prism: You can spread your wing if you want. I’ll slow down a little bit
 
Whirlwind: takes a deep breath and slowly opens wing
 
Prism: slows down
 
Whirlwind: giggles and tears up
 
Prism: Are you alright?
 
Whirlwind: Mmhm sniffles Thank you so much, Prism
 
Prism: No problem
 

 
Whirlwind: ….and then I did like 10 barrel rolls with a backflip to end it. I thought I was gonna puke! But it was soooo awesome
 
Icy: Sounds awesome. Can’t believe you recovered so fast.
 
Whirlwind: Me neither. I got really lucky for sure.
 
Icy: Mmhm.
 
Whirlwind: So how’ve you been?
 
Icy: Pretty good I guess.
 
Whirlwind: You got a marefriend yet? nudges Icy
 
Icy: chuckles Nah. Not yet
 
Whirlwind: Well, nothing wrong with that. That’s……. that’s………..
 
Icy: …………. you alright? What’re you
 
Whirlwind: huddles close to Icy and breathes heavily Fi…..fi….
 
Icy: notices smoke in the distance Whirlwind, it’s okay, I think it’s just a chimney
 
Whirlwind: Fire…….. starts shaking Nononono…
 
Icy: Um, i-it’s okay………… Shshhshhhh rubs Whirlwind’s back and leads her away from the smoke
 
Whirlwind: breathing slows down W-Wha?
 
Icy: looks at her with a worried expression
 
Whirlwind: I’m sorry, Stormy. I just…. that happens sometimes when I’m reminded of fire. I can’t help it I
 
Icy: It’s okay. I understand. What you did was probably really traumatizing. But you’re a hero and that’s really inspiring.
 
Whirlwind: Thank you Stormy. That means an awful lot.
 
Icy: Hey, did Priz tell you?
 
Whirlwind: Hm?
 
Icy: I finally decided what I’m gonna do. What kind of job I want to have.
 
Whirlwind: Are you sure it’s YOUR choice?
 
Icy: Mmhm. I decided that I’m going to be a firefighter.
 
Whirlwind: Really? Wow. I must be REALLY inspiring chuckles
 
Icy: O-of course you are!
 
Whirlwind: Oh Icy, I was just kidding giggles
 
Icy: I wasn’t.
 

 
A lot of you seemed to be under the impression that Whirlwind would actually end up with her wing amputated or that I would decide on a scenario based on your comments. However, in reality, I meant it’s kinda like the ships and stuff. You get to have your own headcanon about the situation.
 
Maybe she eventually recovers but only after a lot of physical therapy like in the scene with Hot Head
 
Or maybe she does get her wing amputated like in the scene with Prism
 
OR maybe she has a full recovery but suffers from PTSD like in the scene with Icy
 
OOOOOR any variation of that.
 
 
Sorry if I’m drawing a lot of the same thing XP I’m just trying to draw as much as I can before I start getting a lot of work for my classes. Sooooo I just think of an idea and draw it. When coming up with one idea, I tend to stay on the same track and develop it more which is why I did like three pictures in a row related to Whirlwind lol
