"She's WHAT?" Rainbow asked, turning around, shocked and ready to help find the party pony. She was ready to escape, but mostly find the pink pony. Just then, out of nowhere Pinkie appears.
"Hey guys! What happened? Why is everypony in here? Is it a party? I LOVE parties!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Where in the hay were you?" Rainbow asked, confused on about everything.
" I was in the comments." Pinkie replied with a smile. The rest just decided that it was just Pinkie being Pinkie.
"We're all glad ya'll are alright Pinkie, we should head back. They seem a might' a bit busy here." AJ finally noticed. The Earth mares left.
"Should we finish the questions than?" Soarin asked.
" I actually think were done here, lets head back to the other room and see how the others are." Fluttershy suggested.
" Let's go." Rainbow agreed. Glad to be out of the chair. At least, for now. Soarin helped Rainbow out of the chair.
" Hey Rainbow, please don't run away. I know what you're thinking but you need to know this is for the better. She isn't gonna harm you on purpose. I promise that I'll be close to you the entire time." Soarin pleaded.
" I'll try not too. I did earlier because I thought I could run. I don't want to be here and Derpy seemed pretty confident near Twilight." Rainbow finally admitted, telling the truth for about the tenth time that day. They continued walking down the hall. Fluttershy stops in front of a door, which happens to be the one leading into the room where the others were. When they opened it the were welcomed with a calming scene. Derpy was calmly sitting in the chair, while Colgate had a mask on and she was bent over Derpy. Fluttershy lead Rainbow and Soarin back to the chairs near Twilight, who was still observing Derpy closely. The main light was dimmed so only the bright light in the middle of the room was shining. When Fluttershy sat down on her rolling stool, Colgate talked.
"Will you hand me the explorer please? Also,how is she doing Fluttershy? Did you find out any answers as to why she might have tried to flee earlier?" Colgate asked Fluttershy in a low vice, but not low enough that the three on the chairs couldn't hear. Fluttershy handed the explorer to Colgate, then looked down. She was about to speak when Rainbow Spoke first.
"Wait, you saw? How come you never said anything?! Another thing, how come Derpy's so quiet? She seemed almost relaxed. Which seems quiet odd, considering where we are and all."
" We got through the questions pretty fast,and she let me take a look, as long as she held Twilight's hoof and she knew I was only gonna look. I took a look and asked her if she wanted me to put her to sleep to fix her small cavity, considering I need to use the drill to get it to a place where I can actually fill it. She agreed as long as I didn't use the needle, which I agreed to as well so I put the mask on, waited for Twilight to tell me her grip eased up, and started to clean the area. The only reason I needed the explorer was to see if it was all ready to go. But the thing is, I haven't started to drill yet. But in short, she's asleep.Don't worry, she'll hopefully not feel anything."
" What do you mean hopefully?! Do you have to use the d-d-drill?" Rainbow asked, nervous yet strong.
" I do if she wants her tooth fixed. Don't worry, it may sound bad, but it won't hurt her as much if she didn't have any gas. She'll be alright. I promise." Colgate said, looking over to her with a gentle look in her eyes. Dash tried to hide it, but she was cringing at the mention of it. Soarin put his hoof on Dash, causing her to flinch.
" She's telling the truth you know. It won't hurt her at all." Soarin said, in some attempt to comfort her.
" How can you be sure, the torture device she uses won't hurt her? Last time I went to a place like this, they used it with no gas whatsoever so I ended up feeling everything. Especially the drill..."Dash finished, trying to whisper, But Colgate heard her story and looked back over to her. All eyes except Derpy's (Because she's asleep) were on Dash. Everyone heard her.
" Really? Well who was this pony? What did they look like?" Twilight asked, looking at Derpy again.
" It was... Colgates father. That sadist was so cruel to me." Colgate was wide eyed, shocked at what she had just heard.
" My father would never do that to anypony on purpose. But why wouldn't he use anesthetic?" She defended.
" I have no idea, but that's why I haven't come, I've seriously thought about it. But then that memory plays in my mind and I back away slowly. He didn't tie me up or anything like that, but I didn't want to find out if he would. So I've kept my distance from not only him, but this place." Rainbow retorted, trying to defend herself. Soarin was listening to both sides and was deep in thought. He had spoke up, with firmness in his voice.
"From the information presented to us, I have come to a couple of decisions. The first one is, Colgate finish with Derpy so Dash can have her sore tooth looked at. Secondly, Dash, that happened over ten years ago, I bet Colgate won't hurt you and if I was a betting stallion, I would bet a good amount that Colgate is as gentle as she can be. I don't know because I don't go to her for my check-ups. Thirdly, Twilight, would you ever think differently of one of your friends because he or she was afraid of something?" Soarin asked.
" Why would I do that?" Twilight asked, confused.
" See my point Dash? She isn't gonna think anything different of you for needing somepony else with you. We all-or at least I do- get that you're a bit worried because of what happened in the past. I really do, but why didn't you say something earlier? We would've helped you out as much as we are now." Soarin pointed out.
" I was worried that you would tell me to man up." Dash answered. Colgate had the drill up and ready to turn on.
" Before I start, Soarin was it? Are you ready to help Rainbow here?" Soarin nodded his head, and grabbed Rainbow's hoof. Colgate gave Derpy another light dose of gas, Then, powered up the small drill she had still held in her magic. Dash had started to shake, and cringe. It took both Soarin and Twilight to keep Dash in her seat. Soarin pulled her close, he hated to see Dash like this. He started rocking her back and forth, in some attempt to comfort her. Rainbow closed her eyes, hoping she could wake up from the nightmare she was having. She didn't realize that she had fell asleep. Rainbow opened her eyes just in time to see Depry getting out of the chair and walking out of the room with Fluttershy. Colgate walked over to her and smiled warmly at her.
" Glad to see that you're up. You fell asleep for about forty five minutes. Are you ready for your turn?" Colgate asked, after a few minutes of letting Rainbow wake up.
" Wait? I fell asleep? Wheres Derpy? I saw her and Fluttershy leaving and that was about it. Is she alright?!" Rainbow asked, more panicked for her co-worker than herself.
" She's alright, calm down. We just moved her into our recovery part of our office, due to she hasn't quite come out of her loopy state." Colgate said, reassuring her with a gentle voice. Rainbow relaxed ever so slightly.
" Do I have to go today? Can Soar be right next to me?" Rainbow asked, still a bit panicked.
" Rainbow, your tooth won't get better unless I can take a look at it and see whats up. Soarin can sit in Fluttershy's chair, since she'll be watching Derpy. Don't worry, I will put you to sleep too if needed. Soarin can watch and see if I try anything funny, alright?" Rainbow cowered closer to Soarin, she still wasn't ready. Soarin started stroking her mane, soothing the mare. Rainbow looked over at Twilight, who sent her an encouraging smile.
" You can do it Rainbow. She's really gentle." Twilight reassured. Rainbow nodded her head.
" Thanks Twilight. Soarin, will you sit in Fluttershy's chair and hold my hoof? Like you promised?" Rainbow asked her coltfriend.
" Of course I will. I hate seeing you so panicked, I want you to feel like you're in a safe environment."
" Colgate? I think I'm ready to get in. But are you?"
" Yes Rainbow, shall we get you into the chair?" Rainbow sighed and gulped.
" Sure. Let's get this over with."
