//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Colgates Brew // by elue1234 //------------------------------// Derpy was super nervous when she was on the phone with the receptionist, but she was able to make the appointment with much regret. True to their word, Soarin and Dash were right next to her and they helped her figured out how to even make the appointment. Them not knowing, but the receptionist was somepony that they knew and knew very well. After the call, Derpy put her face in her hooves, and she started to cry. Dash had a few ideas on why she was. She was sure that she as nervous as a turkey on Thanksgiving. Dash had been rubbing her hoof in a comforting circular motion. As she was doing so, she spoke. " It's alright now. Shhhh calm down now. Breathe in, breathe out. Inhale, exhale everything is gonna be fine. Now tell me, what day and what time is you're appointment? Ok alright, don't worry, we are right here. Now calm down and take a deep breath and relax. Nothing is gonna hurt you." But Derpy didn't believe it. " Nothing is gonna hurt me now, but when I go tomorrow at three in the afternoon, pain will be all over me, not just in my mouth, but everywhere else as well when she comes at me with her instruments of torture and turns me into laughing gas. I can't believe I even agreed to doing this in the first place... I don't want to go..." Derpy said as more tears came down. Rainbow went over and had gotten her some water for the three of them. Derpy nodded and took the water and drank it all, almost in one gulp. Soarin was sitting right next to Derpy, letting his coat get all soaked due to Derpy had been leaning on him and crying. When he was sure that she had calmed down, he excused himself to go and get cleaned up, But what he was really giving the girls a chance to talk. Rainbow had caught on to what he was doing. She had nodded her head as to say that she knew what he was doing. When he left the girls started to talk, but it was mostly Rainbow doin most of the talking. "Derpy, you know that you can tell us anything at anytime wether its in public or if its in private I will be there to help you but right now you need to get it fixed. If it does get fixed, and you cooperated very well, I will give you the day off the next day. I promise that." Rainbow said in a very calm way. "But I can't go!" Derpy said very nervously. "Remember the story I said I never finished earlier? The reason was, I was nervous as it is but the rest of the story is just so frightening and it will make me more nervous..." Derpy concluded. She then started to shake very nervously. Rainbow was thinking of a plan, to help Derpy not be so afraid of Colgate. But then, as if somepony had used a spell to bring the idea, it came to Rainbow Dash.
