I am really enjoying this story, but there is one if my pet peeves in this chapter, they actually use girl in the show...alot, so that scene just kind of bugged me. It's not just you though many authors here seem to ignore girls for mare and filly.
There was Cherry Pie on the third floor, who had come in because of a bad case of pneumonia. There was also Cream Puff, who been brought in last week because of a pair of broken legs. And she couldn’t forget little Pork Pie, who was having a bit of trouble with his intestinal tract.
Those names. Someone must have gotten hungry during the writing process, hm?
I loved the entire part with Sam interacting with the foals. It reminded me of something a veteran teacher once told me.
"Kids in school love anything that's new, it keeps there attention and the don't get bored for a brief honeymoon period. If we could have different substitute teacher every day and keep up the quality of teaching, that would be ideal. If Beelzebub himself came to teach kindergarten, he'd have a perfectly well behaved class...for the first day."
Are you some kind of minotaur? ‘Cause my pappy doesn’t like minotaurs. He says that they’re tryin’ to steal all of our gems and mares.” This Grabdfather seems pretty red-pilled.
Some idiot relative of Pinkie's named their foal after a meat product? When ponies are vegetarians?
“Band Aid called off, so we’ve been short all morning.”
...The name "Band Aid" is actually trademarked by Johnson & Johnson, and the company's constantly fighting against it being genericised (because, if it is, they'll lose the protections the trademark offers). The actual generic term for them, and others, is "adhesive bandages", so J&J always refers to their product as "BAND-AID Brand Adhesive Bandages" to try to defend their trademark.
Adhesive bandages are still commonly called "Band Aids" regardless, in the US and Australia, by laypeople; I think the European equivalent is "Elastoplast".
‘Cause my pappy doesn’t like minotaurs. He says that they’re tryin’ to steal all of our gems and mares.”
Pffft; that's hilarious. Why would some dad tell his foal about "stealing mares", when the foal's not old enough to understand the subtext? Y'know, either for forced labour or forced labour? And what would they use the gems for, since they seem to have little value (they can be sewn into clothes and nopony really bats an eye, and they're a common dragon food)?
This, in many ways, helped calm some of the city’s fears of these aliens. Instead of them being something bigger than life or other, they were no different from any pony. In fact, they might have even been a little sillier.
Silly?!?!? Why I!.......... Hold up rearrange my stuffed ponys. No no no! You go there smile splash!
She hadn’t even minded when their group had been thrown out when one of the chefs came out to see what Sam was doing to her food.
I like to think that they were literally picked up and thrown out the front door, and that Fleur was laughing her head off through the whole process. Even when she hit pavement.
Many of her colleagues had urged her to drop the human to save some face as well. Her manager in particular was insistent upon this idea, badgering her about it whenever he could, but Fleur wouldn’t hear any of it. She was going to keep this giant, adorable, quirky stallion until the season was over. In fact, if he kept it up, she had a mind of hiring him onto her staff permanently.
This is only my second Fleur X Human fic that I've read, but after just reading J’adore, it seems like Fleur being possessive of her human is a running trend across fics. This Fleur isn't as possessive as the J’adore Fleur. Yet.
(The context of the possessiveness in J’adore isn't bad for the human. Just incredibly bad for people with malicious intent towards the human. Try out J’adore, it's an interesting read.)

This is soaked in adorable and deep-fried in cute; I love it!
Fleur is such a sweet mare. I'm greatly enjoying this, you've made her such a wonderful character to read.
Those names. Someone must have gotten hungry during the writing process, hm?
Uh, size? She just a liiiiitle bit bigger that Rarity and when compared with Fancy Pants she look rather small.
Ooo, so many warm fuzzies! I can already tell I'm gonna love the rest of this fic. I'm excited for what drama might be stirred up!
It's a good chapter but I have had a strong dislike for the French language and I found myself being very petty and almost groaning at the French.
Never thought a fic would make me actually like Fleur this much. You've gone and proved me wrong, author. Fantastic job.
I absolutely adore this story. Can't wait to see what happens!

oh come on man, haven't they run from enough?

Seems like people dislike your comment as much as you apparently dislike the French language.

I'm caught up and I'm hooked

Considering I contributed to one of the dislikes towards your comment, I respect your reply. More mature and fair than I was expecting.

When i read the part "ur going to make a mare happy someday" by fleur I'm pretty sure we all know what's going to happen the next chapter
The scenes with the foals were so cute.
Very sweet chapter.
8190461 La langue française te dit "merde".
Maximum D'aw levels... Almost breaking!
Bullshit. Mayo CLinic is best hospital in the world. Johns Hopkins and Bethesda and the Royal College of Surgeons aint got shit.
CAPTAIN THE WHATS THE ADORABLE LEVEL AT?

Cute as all get out, big fan

It's NOT "French." It's "Prench." Totally different!
Whoa really? That's actually really interesting I like that idea!
I've seen body builders on the shorter side too so I can easily imagine a minotaur that's shorter then me would look like.
Sounds like Fleur is getting all hot and bothered by Sam's skills with kids.

Because, you know, you can't spell "fanfiction" without "fact."
Silly?!?!? Why I!.......... Hold up rearrange my stuffed ponys. No no no! You go there smile splash!
Lol. "Trying to steal all our gems and mares". As if Equestria has a shortage of either.
Is that supposed to be Nurse Band Aid?
Is that a The Return of Princess Nightmare Moon reference?
Oh my God! That's so cute!
All foreigners or immigrants to anywhere, are there to steal all of that country's money and women.
