//------------------------------// // Scootaloo's Dentist Trouble // Story: The Foal Help Line // by DanishDash //------------------------------// Ring ring, ring ring. "The Foal Help Line, this is Stardust." "Yeah hello, my name is Scootaloo." "And what can I do for you, las?" "Yeah it might be a little silly but I'm just so scared because I'm going to the dentist tomorrow." "That's not silly at all, Scootaloo." "No no, but I know there is nothing to be afraid of." "You shouldn't say that. I didn't think so either the last time I went to the dentist, but after seventeen hours in hell did I become wiser, and six thousand Bits poorer." "Did it hurt?" "Hurt?! Can you spell appendix surgery without anesthesia?! Hurt!? It was like giving birth to a foal through the gums. We're talking about a root canal as deep as the ocean, and roots that made knots like on a rope. Not to mention the metallic warm taste of freshly flowing blood from my gums. " "Is H.." "Scoots, are you there, las?" "I do not feel so good.." "If you're not feeling well now, then how do you think it will go tomorrow? Well, the most important thing is that you do not bite down on the drill if he hits a nerve. I did, they could hardly get it out of my lip again. " "Hm!?" "Look on the bright side, Scootie. If you can handle the purgatory then you get a lollipop. The question is whether you would be able to chew it, or something else other than yoghurt for the rest of your life. You better take a sandwich now before it's too late. Good luck, kid!" Click!
