The Great and Powerful // by Wolokai //------------------------------// Nurse Redheart sighed, quickly trotting down the white hallways of Ponyville Clinic. Her pager had beeped, her presence requested near the front desk. As she made her way to the front, she spotted the front-desk colt sitting in his chair and reading over what looked to be stories from FIM-Fiction. She sighed and said "Alex...really? Come on now, you can't be reading on duty, you know that!" The brown colored colt, Alex, looked over to her with a smile and said "Hey, relax! I was reading over Patient #142's file...did you know he's that writer everypony is talking about?" Nurse Redheart raised an eyebrow as she muttered "This is relevant...how?" The colt sighed and turned his monitor to face her, pointing at the screen with a hoof and muttering "I just got curious...looked up his stuff, it's not half bad to be honest!" He gave his best smile but frowned as Nurse Redheart gave him a scolding look. He waved a hoof dismissively at her, muttering "Yeah yeah...back to work." Just as Nurse Redheart was about to turn away, a loud, rapid beeping echoed out from the hallway labeled '120-150'. The Nurse took off in a quick gallop, recognizing the sound as the Emergency Help Tone, usually signaled by the pushing of a red button near a patient's bed in case they had fallen or needed help fast. She gasped as she approached a flashing sign that hung above the door, the source of the noise. She stared dumbfounded at the numbers '1', '4', '2', wondering if it was a coincidence, or perhaps something more... She rushed forward, pushing the door open with great force and gasping at the scene before her. The room, which had been decorated with various 'Get-Well-Soon' cards on the tables, and that held several personal belongings of the patient...was empty! All of the cards and items that had belonged to him were gone, as well as the patient himself! She stared in disbelief towards the open window which allowed a gentle breeze to waft through, and jumped at the screams of the front-desk colt "Nurse!!! Nurse come quick!!!" She turned on her hooves, galloping back to the front desk. As she reached the desk, she skidded to a halt and gasped, watching as the colt pointed a hoof towards the screen, a message popping up FIM-Fiction from the story he had been tracking. "I have returned...now...where were we..." - Wolokai
