 I approach the hospital empty hoofed and with a look of sorrow on my face. 
The automated doors slide open and reveal a waiting room with the most beautiful mare I’ve ever laid eyes on. She turned around to glance at me, with her brilliant sapphire blue eyes. Our eyes locked and it was if all my drama of today flew right out the window. She blushed then looked away. Me? I got lost in her stare then shook my head.
“Can I help you?” she said. 
I snap out of my hypnotized state and reply “I-i-i-I’m Joh” she cut me off before continued to stutter.
“Oh you must be the new EMT. Its john right?” she said.
“Eeeyup” I say with a long loss smile on my face, and then I fall to the floor.
Nurse Tenderheart gaited in at the time and asks, “What happened is he all right?”
“Get a buck of icy water” Redheart commands Tenderheart. 
“I’m on it” she says. She gets out of her chair and then gaits around the front desk.
“John? John? Wake up silly.” She says. My eyes slowly open close a little then open to reveal her smirking face and sparkling eyes. 
“Hi” I say with dumbfounded look on my face. Nurse Tenderheart then returns with an icy cold bucket of water. Nurse Redheart scrambles to get out of the way of the icy liquid.
“Tenderheart, wait no!!!” Screamed Redheart, but it was too late.
(Splash) My eyes widened and my pupils’ went small.
“Oops sorry” She says, dropping the bucket.
“It’s all right sweetie just get back to your station, ill handle him” Says Redheart. Nurse Tenderheart nods her apologetic face as she looked back at me.
I was still breathing uneasy from the shocking wet surprise. Giggling a little redheart says “come on let’s get you out of this vest and get you all dried up.” We gait to the back of the front desk, she fetches a towel and wraps it around my shivering body. She had a puzzling look on her face and then spoke “something’s odd about you but I can’t quit put my hoof on it, what is it?” I looked around the empty room trying not to get stuck in her stare, and then I made eye contact. I had forgotten about what just happened a second ago, and blush while getting lost in her eyes.
“Oh I think it’s your cutie mar…” She look up at my eyes, and now she too was now lost in eye contact. Her blush was not normal it was a blue tint instead of a pink tint. I shook my head and snapped out of the trance but she still stared at me, I wave my hoof and she snaps out of it as well.
We both tried to speak to each other but we stuttered and say nothing but gibberish. We both break out laughing but then are cut off by a beeping noise coming from her desk.
“What’s that?” I ask. She looks behind me and says “Oh, my shift is over and It looks like yours is too, but it was nice meeting you John. Here is your paper work that you must fill out by the end of the week, have fun.”  I hesitate for a moment but I couldn’t let her go “wait…um…the night is still young do you want to get some coffee or something?” Redheart hesitated to answer, the thought of saying NO passed though her mind but the question of my cutie mark stopped her from saying it. 
“Hmm…why not.” She says. I squeak as a reply to her yes. We walk out the doors with our stuff then enter the parking lot and stop at her automobile. She puts her jacket and sack in the trunk I’m still holding my stuff, she says. “You can put your stuff here for now, I mean we’re not going just yet.”
I give her a confused look and say “What do you mean?” 
“Oh sorry I already forgot you’re kinda new to Pony Ville hospital huh? Well there’s a Ciderbuck’s near the cafeteria, come on I’ll show you.” We gaited back into the slumbering hospital, through the lobby, up the escalator and into a Ciderbuck’s that reeked of cider and coffee. 
“Well howdy miss. Redheart how yawl been today, and who is this handsome fella of yours?” The cashier asks. Redheart leans against me with a smile and says in a playful tone, “he’s my new boyfriend.”  
I look back at her with a surprised smile, and then I lean against her.
“Aw well arntch yawl the cutest, what can I gich yawl today?” The cashier said. We look at the menu and then take our orders. 
“Well have yer order in a jiffy.” The cashier says in a fast tone and disappears behind the cash register. She comes back with our drinks as if she never left. “I swear it’s like they sample their own products.” Redheart whispers, and then chuckled. I pretend to laugh as we gait to a table that had a window next to it overlooking Pony Ville. We sit down and take a sip of our drinks. I glance outside the window peering down at the town. “Beautiful isn’t it?” Redheart says. 
“Yes you are.” I say with a crushed look on my face. She about coughs up her drink and then giggles. “So…what’s the dealeeow with your cutie mark?” she questions. I look down at my thigh with a concerned look on my face. She gasps and says “oh no I shouldn’t have asked that I’m so sorry.” 
“Oh no its ok I get that question all the time.”I say. She sighs in relief. 
“I’ve just never had a cutie mark…yet.” She gasps “that’s horrible.” I smirk and take a sip of my coffee, then look at her with a whip cream mustache. She laughs so hard that she face plants into her coffee.
We both sit and laugh at each other. (Beep Beep…Beep Beep) We look down at her thigh. “Oh it’s my iPod telling me that it’s time to feed my dog” she says. I wipe off the melted whip cream from face then glance at her and say “speaking of time what time is it anyways?” She takes another look at her iPod “its 12:05 already? Damn we gotta go, shame to this place never closes.” I then panic remembering that I had forgotten to remind Derick to take out the roast that he had been preparing since 2:00 last night.
“Oh shit…I need to get home and fast!” She looks at me with a puzzled look. 
“Why? What’s wrong?” she asks. I then explain my situation.
“Well the trains not fast enough, how far do you live?” she replies. “You’re not gunna like the answer when I tell you…well…I live on the borders of Canterlot and Pony Ville.” She looks at me with a frown and says “Damn it John…all right but you owe me one.” We get to the parking lot and we get in the automobile. She starts it up, the machine roars. “Buckle up this things got more horsepower than you’d think.” She says with a devilish smile. I do so, and then we talk on the way up. As we approach my street, it glows with orange and yellow than red and blue. She rubbernecks and says “looks like some pony’s town house is burnt to the ground.” I look at my burning apartment with my jaw down to my chest. “STOP! STOP!” I shouted.
“Oh good Celestia don’t tell me that’s your house.” She says with a sad look on her face. I get out of the automobile. “Oh no, no, no, no this isn’t happening!” a firefighter approached with a pissed look on his face.  “Hey you are you the one who lives in E-10...HUH?!?” before I can say yes he interrupts me with another loud “Huh?”But then I shout. “Yes…How did this happen?” He looks at me with a pissed off smirk. “John, I think you know damn well how this happened…Too many plug-in in one light socket.” I then feel relieved that it wasn’t the roast; even know it was still my fault. He takes off along with the rest of the fire fighters with a look of disapproval. The entire block was in disapproval; they shook their heads and frowned at me. “Let’s just go…you poor thing.” She says while staring back. I look at her with tears and embarrassment. “And go where?” I shout.
“My house” she says while leaning on me in security, closing her eyes and then watching the blaze as pieces of my townhouse fall to the ground.
