//------------------------------// // A different profession // Story: The origins of Ditzy Doo // by Joshua PickleSmith //------------------------------// Chapter 4: A different Profession After what happened I had to be sent to the emergency room to see what is wrong with my eye. Unfortunately the Doctor looking after me is the self proclaimed king of not listening to anything I say! "Now tell me little pony, how did this all happen?" "There was a rainbow and it blew everything away" I said to the "Professional." "Now now little pony, a rainbow can't just attack people." "I'm telling the truth" I said while the annoyance levels were rising in my blood stream. "There were all these different colours and boom, I hit the floor and my eyes must have been hit on the impact." "Now hitting the floor doing this, yes I can believe that, but a rainbow physically pushing you with such force is simply impossible." We had being at this for a good hour, and his over confidence hadn't been undermined once during the argument. Isn't the doctor supposed to take what you say and make an examination from what you say, not reflect what you say at right back at you. "Look, lets just say that you hit your head, and somehow this caused you pupils to come.. in a unprofessional term, out of place." "OK" I said with an annoyance bar of over 9000 "Well I don't see how I can possibly help you, but I will recommend you to one Zoruck." "Is he a Doctor?" "Well, no he isn't, lets just say he leads in an entirely different profession, from where I'm standing I can't do anything about this injury apart from giving you this lollipop." "I don't need no lollipop, is my Mom going to pick me up or what" I said with both arms crossed. As if me saying these words out loud were magical she slammed through the door and immediately proceeded to embrace me. "I was so worried Ditzy are you OK, I brought your favourite food, cupcakes, oh my your eye, oh it doesn't matter the doctor will help." As if I needed to be reminded about cupcakes, sheesh. "I am afraid I cannot do anything about this injury Mrs Doo, but I can recommend you to someone who can." "Oh that would be fantastic doctor" Mrs Doo said with relief. "Where should I go to find this doctor?" "I wouldn't call him a doctor... I think, anyway he lives in the spherical forest, you know where that is right?" At the instant of hearing the spherical forest my eyes lit up in a fiery blaze. "Really and truthful, the Spherical forest oh wow." Upon saying this I jumped out my mothers arms and started imagining me, an explorer searching for this elusive pony. "Oh no you are simply too young, the spherical forest is far too dangerous" Retorted my mother "He lives on the outside of the forest so you wont have much trouble" quickly replied the aging doctor. And he also has a daughter so it must be safe. "Please please please please" I said in quick succession. I guess you are wondering what is so great about this forest, well I was told many stories about the forest by my Dad, he would always tell them to me on days like nightmare night. He always told them with such enthusiasm, i can almost visibly remember his expressions and his was of telling a terrifying story. "The spherical forest... The spherical forest is nowhere safe for any pony like you my dear" He would always start, "there are trolls and even night stalkers." To this day I still do not know what a night stalker is, and to be honest, I kinda wanna know, they sound awesome. "But aren't you scared Ditzy?"
