A Boy and a Bunch of Cute Ponies

Colgate

Last week had seemed a bit dramatic, having a filly visit you. That was certainly different you thought. Especially one so scared like her. And here you thought Fluttershy was the biggest scaredy cat you would ever meet, but Silver Spoon definitely was more scared. Next thing you know an old pony would be visiting you, though you were very hopeful Celestia wouldn't do that. Today was a little busy compared to other days. You finally got into College, and had homework on the first week. Typical.

But still you waited close to the door for when you hear the knock. As you worked on the problems the professor had given you, you began to think how this all started. It was a random event honestly. Middle of the night you saw Twilight and then the rest started to appear. But a knock came at the door to interrupt your thinking. You stood up and walked over to the door and opened it. To see a blue pony with blue and white hair.

"Hello Anon, my name is Colgate. I do believe Celestia has sent me to be your companion for the day?" She seemed different, and Colgate? Wasn't that a toothpaste brand? Anyways you decided to ignore those for a while and nod your head in agreement, though you weren't sure about the word "companion." She trots inside cleaning her hoofs on the rug, she was the first one of the new ponies to do that. One of the first things you noticed was her cutie mark was the same as the Doctor.

You couldn't help but point at it, you hoped it wasn't rude of you. "Oh that thing? Yea I don't understand it myself. I'm a dentist yet I got this cutie mark, people think I'm related to the Doctor that Derpy hangs out with. I know you've met both, just thought you needed a reminder." Did she know because you were talked about in Ponyville or cause she actually was related? You weren't sure if you wanted to think hard right now.

"Anyways what can I do for you today?" You looked at her unsure what to think. "Well normally ponies come here and do something right? I assume you ask them? Oh I know you want a check up right?" You weren't sure what to think, she seemed too smart about this, but you've never asked a pony to do anything, they just did the things themselves. "Hmm no you wouldn't want that would you? People your age never go to the dentist. I should know, I use to be your age. More then once."

She was mostly right, you had gone about a month or two ago, but you weren't sure when your next check up was. "Hmm, I honestly don't know what to do, any suggestions?" You looked at her. You didn't really have anything in mind, but maybe a check up wouldn't hurt. You lead her to the bathroom hoping she would be able to reach. "Ooo so you do want a check up huh? Awesome, first human I get to check."

After a few adjustments in the bathroom she was finally able to check up on you. She seemed to have all her equipment on her. You sometimes wonder how ponies do this, well except Pinkie, you didn't want to question anything. Colgate did a normal check up on you, at least from what you can tell, checking cavities, gums, etc. You didn't know too much about the dental process and such, you never bothered to really.

"Well all seems good, if I had candy I would give you, but since candy makes teeth rot and such that would be a bad choice for me, now wouldn't it?" She smiles, and you had to say, they were bright. "Well I still plenty of time here still. Oh I know I should tell you a story. But you can't tell anypony else alright?" You nodded your head hoping to not get on her bad side.

She begins to look around making sure it was safe. You assumed it was, since almost no one passes by, only your friends on rare occasions really. "Well you see, I really am part Time Lord like the Doctor, but the thing is, I don't want to be. I enjoy being a dentist more then I do traveling through space and time. Sure it's fun, but making other ponies smile bright is even better I think. Like what can be better then making someone's smile amazing? Everyone loves a smile, I say it's one of the most beautiful things to see on a ponies face. I don't know if you would agree, but I'm sure humans enjoy seeing a person smile, don't you?" She had a point, you did love seeing a smile, especially one on a girl, you couldn't help but blush. "See I knew it. Anyways, don't tell anyone, I've been trying out different ways to change my cutie mark but nothing so far."

You felt quite sad for her, seeing she wanted to change her cutie mark for it to represent what she loved. Sometimes you're just stuck with what your given, its how life is, but you weren't sure to tell her. "Heh, sorry Anon, but that's not always true. But anyways I gotta get going. Make sure to clean your teeth well, here's a toothbrush." Did she read your mind? She gently places the toothbrush in your hands as you stared at her leave your front door through the portal. She was a weird pony you thought, but she did make you smile. :)
