The mares watched as Soarin flew out the hole. Twilight then cast a spell that fixed the hole in the wall. She then noticed Derpy trying to run. She caught her in a cloud of magic, casing Derpy to be floated back to Twilight. the unicorn then released Derpy,and looked her calmly in the eyes. Twilight knew she was afraid. But she felt lucky that she had read a book on the topic so she had an idea on what to do with the frightened mare.
"It will be alright Derpy. I know it will all be worth it in the end. Now do Soarin and Rainbow know what tooth is causing the pain?" Twilight asked. Derpy pondered this for a moment. She then shook her head.
"No. They don't. I don't know why they never asked." Derpy answered.
"Here, why don't you lay back, and let me take a look?" Derpy seemed not so thrilled. She started to squirm, Twilight noticed this and trotted over to her. The unicorn then put her hoof under Derpy's chin, bringing it up to look at her. Derpy then saw the kindness and reassurance in her eyes. Derpy sighed and she then agreed.
"I will let you if you promise that you won't think any different of me. Also, can I be holding something?" Twilight nodded her head and extended her hoof. Derpy than lied down, and opened her mouth. She grabbed Twilight's hoof and held it tight, while Twilight looked inside her mouth.
"You can go ahead and close your mouth now Derpy. I think I have found the solution to your pain. I noticed a cavity in your mouth. But if you don't mind me asking, when was the last time you went to a dentist?" Derpy sat up and sighed. She then told Twilight the story on how she lost her parents, while Twilight listened carefully. When Derpy finished, Twilight said how sorry she was. They then looked at the clock. It said it was two fifty.
"We should probably get going if were going to make it on time." Twilight said. Derpy then got up, and helped Twilight up as well. They then left the library, and started their journey towards the clinic, which took only about five minutes. To their surprise, there were Rainbow Dash and Soarin, just approaching as well.
"Hey guys... sorry I ran off earlier..." Rainbow started.
"It's alright Rainbow Dash! You were only gone for about ten minutes or so." Derpy said, with a smile on her face. Rainbow sighed in relief just as her door opened. They all turned their heads to see that Doctor Colgate was standing there with her receptionist, which was none other then Fluttershy. They both had a welcoming smile which almost calmed Derpy and Rainbow. Colgate spoke.
"Hello you four. Welcome. Please, do come in." She welcomed. Fluttershy just smiled. Derpy stayed close to Twilight as they were escorted back. Derpy noticed that Colgates back room was a fairly large room that was a sky blue, while the patients chair was in the middle. To the left were some cabinets that were made out of a nice pine wood. underneath the cabinets was a sink. Along the other walls were several chairs. there was two rolling chairs on either side of the chair in the middle. She then froze in fear. She realized that she wasn't ready to face her fears. doctor Colgate noticed this and calmly trotted over to her and spoke in a voice that almost reassured Derpy.
"It's alright. I do my best not to cause any of my patients pain or discomfort. I want you to know that alright? Also, Do either one of you want to go first?" She asked calmly and professionally.Neither one of them moved a muscle. Instead, they tried to run for it, but they were both stopped by the two unicorns. They were floated back into the room where once they were in, Fluttershy stood behind the door to make sure they didn't leave. Twilight came up next to Derpy and put her hoof around her. Derpy was about to say she would when Soarin spoke first.
"Why doesn't Rainbow go first?" Soarin asked, as Rainbow started to back up.
"Actually, I will. I will let Rainbow go second because this is my appointment after all."Derpy said. They all nodded their heads in agreement before moving to various spots. Which went something like this:
Derpy got in the big chair in the middle of the room, While Colgate and Flutterhy took their spots on either side of Derpy, putting medicial masks over their faces. The remaining ponies took spots in the extra chairs in the corner. Rainbow leaned on Soarin and whispered something to him while Twilight watched Derpy.
"Soarin are you sure this is a good idea?" Dash asked, a little more nervous than when she was back at the mountain.
"Yes I'm sure. This will all be better in the end I promise." Soarin reassured back at Rainbow. Rainbow just sighed and kept lying on her coltfriend.
