[Alois hummed the Violet City theme to himself, in tandum to the music around him. He tapped his foot to the rhythm, but he did not begin a dance. He hadn’t felt like moving much since breakfast. There was an odd color on his cheeks, odd only in that it was rare to see the pale young man with such a rosy complexion. He leaned against the

[ Applejack has just slipped into the doors of the Center to find the collapsed young man with the nurse hovering over him. She doesn't really think about it, just moves to help the nurse pick up the boy's body. She turns her head to her friends, expression dead serious. ]

C'mon, girls, we gotta help!

[She follows up, instantly worried, though she hasn't seen him.]

Oh no, what happened? Is he-

[And then... she sees him, and gasps, hands over her mouth, stepping backward in horror.]

That's... That's... That's the boy who...

[Pinkie races ahead of the nurse and Applejack to get a bed set up, throw the curtains aside, and pull the blankets back. She's chewing on her lip and keeps throwing glances over towards the others. She hasn't noticed Fluttershy's apprehension yet.]

Ready to go here!

[ Rarity immediately recognized the boy, but honestly - now's not the time to do anything about that. Instead, she rushes forward to help stabilize the boy's body as he's settled onto the bed, carefully bracing his head until it rests on the pillow. ]

He's feverish! [ No sooner are the words out than a Chansey appears, holding a cold compress. Rarity lays it across the boy's forehead. ]

What happened here?

[Alois doesn't come too for a long time. He spasms on occasion, his breathing fluctuating between soft breathing to gasps for air. He screams often, calling a single name over and over, his hands reaching forward as if trying to reach for what can't be seen.]

[When he does come to, he's silent.]

[ As soon as Alois is in bed and secured, Applejack seems to come to her senses, abruptly snapping to what Fluttershy has said. She jerks her head between the boy on the bed--short, pale, with whitish-blond hair--and her friend. The color progressively drains from her face, only to be replaced by a flash of red moments later. ]

It's--this is him? That A-low-is guy? Oooooh, why I oughta...! [ He hands are clenched into fists, but it's involuntary. She turns, moving to shield Fluttershy from the sight. ]

[But FS is silent for the moment. Looking at Alois like this... he seems so small, compared to other humans. So... helpless. And after everything she'd seen him go through... she begins walking forward, away from AJ. She speaks with care and command.]

He needs water, lots of it. And make sure the windows are closed... get a bucket, if he needs to throw up again. He's going to be okay.

[That said, she approaches the body, and begins using her own sleeve to wipe sweat off of him.]

And we have to clean this up every now and then, or he'll get a cold.

Wait! Waitwaitwait! That's the guy who-- [She watches Fluttershy march over there all determined like and hears her commands. Automatically she's inclined to listen, because Fluttershy doesn't demand things often. But... But...]

I... Should I get water, or a bucket? Does this place have buckets? Um... I'll go get some water. Yeah!

[And she hurries off, not bouncing, and almost tripping over her awkward human legs.]
