Birthday Game Shenanigans

The Dentist

Pinkie was terrified. Her Pinkie Sense had been acting up since she woke up with buzzings in her gums all day long, and that only meant one thing. It was time for her dentist appointment. Just then there was a knocking on the door. "Pinkie! It's time for your dentist appointment!" Tylor called out from the other side of the door. Panicing, Pinkie dove under her bed. Desperately trying to avoid that which she feared the most.
Opening the door Anon entered Pinkie's room. He was a human about twice the size of Pinkie. He was light skinned and had dark brown hair that stopped just short of his dull green eyes. He quickly noticed the trembling ball of pink cotton candy protruding from under Pinkie's bed. "C'mon, Pinkie. The dentist isn't that awful."
"Yes it is!" The small pink ball of energy yelled out from under the mattress. "She's the meanest, nastiest pony in all of Equestria! She pokes your teeth with all those mean metal pokers! And if if you teeth aren't good enough for her she drills into them! And then she tells you you can't eat any sweets for 4 whole hours!"
"One: Really? Colgate is meaner than Sombra?" Tylor deadpanned as he tried to pull Pinkie out from under the bed. "You threw a 'New-Office-Warming-Party' for her just the other day. And maybe if you took better care of your teeth, then she wouldn't have to keep giving you fillings." Anon pulled on her tail in an attempt to get her out, but Pinkie remained there as if she had glued herself to the floor. "And if you don't do this then you'll probably loose all your teeth and have to live off of pudding for the rest of your life. Do you want that?"
"No!" Pinkie screamed as yanked her tail away from the human."I'm not going and that's final!"
Tylor sighed as he rubbed his temples, trying to come up with a way to get Pinkie to go. Smirking as a devious plan formed itself in his mind he moved to the door. "Well then I guess I'll just have to eat all those cupcakes by myself."
"What?! Cupcakes!?" Pinkie exclaimed as she poked her head out from under the bed befor rushing towards the exit. Only to run head long into the door that Tylor had just closed.
"Sorry, Pinkie." He apologized as he picked up the dazed mare and threw her over his shoulder. "But I promised the Cakes that I would make sure you got to the dentist." Pinkie started to thrash, yell, and plead as Anon started to walk out of Cupcake Corner.

The walk towards the office was long and grating on Tylor's ears, back and dignity. Here he was simply trying to get Pinkie to the dentist as she yelled at him for "being a meanie pants," pounded on his back in an attempt at escape and constantly begged ponies that they passed to save her from the horrible mean things that awaited her. Fortunately most ponies were aware of events like this every few years of someone, usually the Cakes, having to literally drag her across Ponyville to Colgate. Those that didn't know about this phenomenon simply had to be told it was the dentist and offered their condolences befor heading on their way.
"Hello Tylor."
Anon turned to the voice that greated him to see a purple unicorn trotting up to him.
"Hey Twili-""Twilight! Help! I'm being taken against my will to a place of torture and pain!" Pinkie called around the human as she struggled harder to escape.
"Is it Pinkie's appointment already?"
"Yup. Cakes talked me into doing it this year. They were busy with the twins and I think didn't want to deal with this this year."
"Twilight don't just stand there! Help!" This time saying befor biting Tylor.
"EEYOUCH" Tylor cried befor tossing away Pinkie out of reflex. Almost befor she hit the ground Pinkie had already taken off down one of the many streets in Ponyville.
"Aww, crap." He mumbled as he rubbed the bite on his back. "Now I gotta go find her all over again!"
"Want some help?" Twilight offered.
Tylor considered it. Twilight had magic which would almost certainly come in handy for capturing Pinkie if not actually finding her. And even then, having another set of eyes to help search was almost a necessity for someone who could pop out of everywhere and everything.
"Would you?" He half asked half begged.
"Sure. Let's start with Fluttershy."

Tylor and Twilight had search all over town. No one had seen Pinkie since this morning. Needless to say, they were frustrated.
"Where is that Pony?" Twilight asked sitting on the bench to take a load off her hooves. They had been searching for hours and no one, not even Rainbow Dash, had seen her.
"I dunno." Tylor was standing next to the bench watching the clouds and trying to think of where could Pinkie be. They had checked everywhere. Everyone in Ponyville they could talk to had said no. They had even checked in bowls of various objects, half expecting the physics defying Pinkie to be in them. The only places they hadn't checked were Colgate's office and back at Sugarcube Corner.
"Aww, crap." Tylor said face palming.
"What?"
"We didn't check Sugarcube Corner,"
Twilight's eyes widened befor planting her own hoof in her face.
"Come on. Lets go check."

"Pinkie! Get out of there!" Tylor yelled pulling on Pinkie's hind legs as he tried to pull her back out from under her bed with Twilight's help.
"No! Go away! I'm not going!"
"Pinkie it's for your own good!" Twilight stated as she used her magic pull the living sugar high out from under her bed.
"NO!" Pinkie yelled befor rushing towards the door when Twilight had managed to pull her out enough for Tylor to try to get a hold of her. The door slammed shut in front of her as she skidded to a stop but that only slowed her down for a second as she quickly took off for open window. But that was quickly slammed shut by Tylor. Pinkie huddled in the center of her room surrounded by Twilight and Anon. She Made one last attempt for a different window befor Twilight's Telekinesis took a hold of here.
"No! Put me down!" Pinkie yelled as she struggled fruitlessly against the magic holding her.
"Come on. We're late already."Tylor stated before leading Twilight out the door.

Finally at the Dentist office, Pinkie was now being strapped down to the chair by Colgate as Twilight held her down.
"Thank you for getting Pinkie over here. She's always been giving me trouble." Colgate said tightening one of the bond on Pinkie's left hoof.
"Do you normally have to strap her down like that?" Tylor asked. Slightly dubious of the leather straps currently holding Pinkie to the chair.
"All the time." Colgate said as, with Twilight's help, she fitted a device in Pinkies mouth to keep it open."She thrashes around so much that it's mostly to keep her from accidentally making us hurt her." Pinkie moaned loudly as Twilight walked off with the device was finally fitted.
"Thanks for the help Twilight.I owe you for this." Tylor said before Twilight left.
"Dont mention it Anon. I was glad to help." She said flashing a smile at him before trotting out the door.

Tylor looked up from the magazine he had been reading in the waiting room as Pinkie and Colgate walked into the room. Pinkie looked slightly upset but otherwise all seemed good.
"So," Colgate started "Pinkie was much better this time around. No cavities and no decaying enamel anywhere. However there was alot of plaque buildup, so I want her to brush more often. Other than that, she's good to go." Tylor handed over the bag of bits that the Cakes had given him to pay the Dentist with and walked Pinkie out the door.
Pinkie was uncharacteristically silent on the way back home. As well as more controlled, not bouncing down the street.
"That was some good news from Colgate wasn't it Pinkie?" He said trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Yeah." She said looking at Tylor a little dubiously.
"Pinkie, I'm sorry I had to drag you all the way over here, but it's important to take care of your teeth. Do you not wanna be able to eat another cupcake again?"
She looked away, down at the ground. They walked on in silence for a little ways befor she finally answered "No."
"I thought so." He said. "And hey, look at it this way, if the news that Colgate gave you isn't enough to throw a "I-have-good-teeth-party" then I don't know what is."
Pinkie immediately perked up at the mention of party and started bouncing again.
"Yeah! The cake can be a big tooth, and we can play pin the toothpaste on the toothbrush, and have mouthwash flavored punch, and..."
"So am I forgiven?"
"For now. Meanie Pants."
