//------------------------------// // The Cake Twins // Story: Colgate's Rants 4: Fans' Choice // by StormLuna //------------------------------// The Cake Twins (Suggested by SonicRPika) Like I've said before I've had patients come in as pairs and as it was in the case with Cloudchaser and Flitter, as siblings. These next two would be a very irritating. Mr. and Mrs. Cake brought their twins in to see me. When they first came in and told me that I would be seeing them my first thought was, "Oh fuck, I have to deal with both of these little demons?" I refer to them as demons because I know how they are. Pumpkin is still having weird bursts of magic and Pound is still flying around like a rat with wings destroying everything. I did take some precautions, precautions the Cakes would not like. For Pumpkin, I put a horn cap on her so she just can't take off flying and levitating things to herself to suck on. For Pound, I decided I would put him in a foal straight jacket. That will keep him from flying around causing damage. The first one I took back was Pound Cake. As soon as he left his parents' field of vision he immediately started crying and out front Pumpkin started crying. I decided that for making so much noise that I will simply charge them more for these appointments. Hey, if I can't hear my Judas Priest over some damn foal crying I'm not going to be a happy camper! Hell I'd rather listen to Fluttershy's dumb birds screeching out of tune than listen to a foal cry. I was able to get the little rat to quiet down. Yeah the way I did it was likely unethical but I don't care, it had to be done. I used a stun spell on him. That calmed me down, for a moment anyway. Once I started checking his teeth out, I was not happy with what I saw. Despite him just barely beginning to grow teeth, they already had cavities in them! How the hell does a foal with brand new teeth get cavities so quickly? I quickly isolated the problem though, it has to be that shit his parents feed him. That crap leaves nothing but a wave of cavities in it's wake. Now I was not going to get mad at the little rat for this, its not like he controls what his parents shove in his mouth. Now here is the major problem with baby ponies. I can not use silver on their cavities for two reasons. First, their teeth are so small it would likely turn their whole tooth into a silver mine and second, silver is toxic to ponies that young. Now you know how I feel about using magic on cavities but for ponies this young I'll make an exception. It will be his parents that will suffer over this. Well I used my magic to fix his teeth and took him out so I could get the other rat. Despite me putting a horn cap on her, she would prove to be much more problematic. You know how she likes to suck on things? Well while I was examining her teeth, she clamped down on my hoof and bit me! Yes, she bit me! Great, just great, now I have to go get a tetanus shot, and yes I will bill the Cakes for that as well. Another thing that pissed me off was that she had equally as bad teeth as her brother so like with him, I used my magic to fix her teeth. When I got out I had my hoof bandaged and they could tell that I was not one bit happy. When I let them know that their daughter bit me they became terrified. Hell, Mr. Cake fainted because he knew that they could be in serious legal trouble. Damn straight they're going to be in serious trouble. Not so much for their daughter biting me but for them allowing their twins' teeth to get in such bad shape. First I'll discuss the payment. Despite everything going horribly for them so far, that is the one part where everything went fine. Their insurance covered 90%, they paid their co-pay and I was sort of happy. Now for the part that would really piss them off. I decided that they were unfit parents. I played the role of foal protective services and took their babies away from them. Given that I couldn't find any good parents to take them I took them in myself. Now I definitely wouldn't have the time to watch them and I sure the hell didn't want to raise the little rats myself so here is what my plan was. While I would control every single little thing that they ate, I decided that Trixie would take care of them during the day. She and Sonata are at home all day long since they don't have jobs. I chose Trixie because she will cause them to boast all the time, which will annoy other ponies later on. Sonata is too damn sweet and caring to mold them into what I want them to be. Now when the work day was over I forced Aria and Adagio to take them home with them. So during nights and over the weekend my bitchy employees would watch over them. I did warn those two though that if they abused them that I would haul them to Tartarus so they agreed to not abuse them. You might be thinking why the hell would I have those two watch over them but I have my reasons. Mixing Trixie and those two into those little beasts would eventually produce results that I would like. When they eventually start school they will be arrogant little rats that will do nothing but talk back, cuss, boast all the time and make everypony's lives hell, including Cheerilee's! So when they start school, they will drive her up the wall everyday and when her day is over, she will need a ton of TLC from yours Truly! Yeah they'll wind up being bullies and their new "parents" will get called over to the school all the time but I don't care. I rule the roost and I'll make sure they get away with anything and everything, well unless they were to do something to me, then it would be off to Tartarus with them. Now of course the Cakes filed lawsuit after lawsuit to try to get them back but given that I am a princess AND the other princesses had to submit to my customer/doctor agreement at some point, there is nothing they can do. The Cakes finally got over it, rolled a couple more rats off the assembly line and luckily for them, they took much better of their teeth so I never had to take them away. Aria and Adagio are already going gray taking care of two little rats, I don't think they could handle two more.
