Description
Another week went by and soon Mako and Bubble were preparing to leave to go to Ponyville for Lady’s and Xhisrc’s wedding. While it wasn’t really a vacation for the two, it will still be a nice change of pace from they day-in and day-out routine of work and sleep. That seemed all too true for Bubble. While she was intentionally taking later shifts to cover for the extended weekend away coming up, Bubble was also requested to work on her normal off days as well. For the last couple of weeks, there had seemed to be an influx of unusual accidents and unexplained incidents related to falling bookshelves and other random household objects, resulting in more ponies coming to the hospital for treatment.
After a long shift of running around, Bubble sat down behind the front desk of the ER, filing paperwork from the last patient she had to work with before she would clock out for the day. As she scribbled down some notes about the patient, the mare suddenly froze in spot, her ears perked. Like a radar picking up a signal, her ears swiveled and turned to the direction of one of the busy hallways. Something.. Or someone was nearby and approaching her desk.
Changelings have a natural sense of when another changeling is nearby, even when they were in a disguise. It was impossible to know which hive the changeling was from, but it was usually an unspoken rule that if two changelings were in the same place at the same time, they wouldn't interact so not to blow one another's cover. This was a different case though.
A few heads turned as the stallion approached the desk, his ears and wings twitching as he let out a nervous cricket chirp. In a world of pastel magical horses, you’d imagine that lanky, sheepish-looking seafoam-chitin changeling would fit right in. For those who are residents on the island and have grown to know the socially-awkward reformed insectoid over the past 10 years, that would be the case. It was only tourist and those who have just recently moved to the island who were giving the stallion odd looks.
Bubble: *smiles politely* Kevin! Long time, no see.
Kevin: *looks up* Oh! Hey Im- Bubble, right? *chirps*
Bubble: *grimaces and glares at the reformed changeling, pointing at her name tag* Hehe, yep! I just started working her at the hospital a couple months ago. I wasn’t expecting to see you here.
Kevin: Heheh, yeah.. Kinda had a little cooking accident at home.. *holds up his hands*
Bubble: *sees the bandages and lets out a startled chirp, fluffing up* Oh goodness! A-are you okay?
Kevin: Yeah I am now. I was making soup for my wife, and I forgot to grab the oven mitts before picking up the pot, ehehe! *wings twitch* You can kinda guess what happened next. *smiles awkwardly*
Bubble: *facepalms* …. Sweet Celestia. You are a danger to yourself..
Kevin: It wasn’t me, the soup was too hot!
Before Bubble could chastise Kevin for his over clumsiness, the sliding doors of the front entryway to the ER swung open, letting in a pair of paramedics hauling in a stretching with an unconscious pony strapped to it.
Evergreen: What happened to this one now? *looking over the patient*
Paramedic: They were found in the park. Before passing out, they said they were attacked but couldn’t see who it was. There was no sign of external wounds or signs of a fight.. Just fatigue and dizziness. It might be a case of heat stroke.
Evergreen: *takes a look at the patient’s eyes with a small light and feeling their forehead* Hmm… Possibly just dehydrated at best.. No external injuries, but their body temperature is very high. Wheel them into a room, I’ll have them put on an IV for some fluids to fix it..
Paramedic: Yes ma’am. *before wheeling the patient away*
Bubble’s ears folded back as she overheard the conversation. This has been the fourth instance of a pony being found barely unconscious with foggy memories of an unknown attacker. The first case was her close friend, Margarite Mix, who incidentally had a miscarriage and lost her unborn child as a result. The first couple of times, it happened at night where no one was around, but now it is was still midday. Who would be crazy enough to attack ponies in broad daylight?
Kevin: *ears fold back* This is getting a bit scary.. Four times in one week..?
Bubble: *ears perk, snapping back to reality* Huh? Oh yeah.. It could be just anything though. There has been investigations but no evidence of an attacker ever came up.. It could just be nothing.. Or like Dr Evergreen said, dehydration or heat stroke… Exhaustion. *but her voice sounding unsure*
Kevin: Hmm… Given the weather on the island on a regular basis, it could be… Still though..
Bubble: *finishing up her paperwork and filing it away, before stretching her arms* Hmmm…. Maybe I should stay a little longer… Just to be sure--
Evergreen: Oh no you don’t! *glaring Bubble’s direction* I don’t need you skulking around after your shift is already over.
Bubble: *fluffs up* I-it’s not skulking! I was just going to help around when needed..
Evergreen: I have plenty of other doctors and nurses on hand already, Miss Lee. I’d rather you be at your best and not walking around looking like you’re half dead from overworking yourself!
Kevin: *leans in a bit* ….. You do kinda have dark circles under your eyes…
Bubble: *through grit teeth* Shut up Kevin… *lets out a sigh of defeat* Fiiine.. I’ll head home. I’m going to be leaving for the next couple of days to go to a wedding. I’ll see you next week, Doctor.
Evergreen: *nods* Miss Lee.. *turns to walk down a hall to check on the patient that just came in*
Kevin: ….. She’s really nice. *snickers*
Bubble: Yes, just a big ball of sunshine…. *starts packing up her things* Well, I guess I’m going to be heading off. You heading home as well?
Kevin: Yeah, the wife is probably wondering if I burnt more than just my hands if I don’t get home now, hehehe. *looks to the exit, his wings chirping* … Mm… Why don’t I walk you back to your house first? Just for safety.
Bubble: *ears perk* Safety? What do you mean?
Kevin: With what’s been going on.. The ponies are fatigued, sure, but they all say they were attacked. I don’t want you to get hurt, you’re just a nymph..
Bubble: *fluffs up a little* Uh.. I’m not……. Okay, Kevin. Whatever you say.. *shaking her head with a smirk* …. I’m pretty sure I’m older than you, just so you know.
Kevin: *waves his bandaged hands in her face* Details.
Meanwhile, focusing heavily on the cradle by sanding the surfaces and edges, Mako pushed himself to finish the wedding gift for Lady. Ever since they got back from Las Pegasus to do some shopping for their formal attire, Mako had been on edge. It didn’t occur to him til the investigator, Golden Delicious, had pointed it out that he was missing papers needed for his background check. Papers… He didn’t need those in the past, not in any instance. And any papers he did have were tucked away and hidden, coming from a different time. His brain started getting fuzzy as he thought up the worst outcomes to come from this, only to shake them away as quickly as he could.
This was going to be okay. Golden said it was an easy fix, right? Just need to talk through what’s needed, fill out missing blanks and everything would be good.
Mako: Then I can put all that ugly mess behind me where it belongs… *ears perk* There I go, talking to myself again…!
???: Well, it passes the time I guess..
Mako: *jumps* Oye! *turns around fast, seeing Golden staring at him* M-mrs Delicious! Heheh, you scared me..
Golden: *raises an eyebrow* I’m sure the look of any investigator in anypony’s home would give them a fright. And it’s just Miss..~ *smirks*
Mako: *muzzle scrunches* Right…. *puts on his best smile* Well, you’re here now. I suppose we should get started, right..?
Golden: That would be nice. The sooner the better. *takes a seat at Mako’s desk*
Mako: *sits up* So, is it just the birth certificate, or are there others?
Golden: Oooh, the list goes on, really..
For the next few minutes, Mako nearly went deaf just listening to all the details of each form of paperwork Golden listed off in explicit detail. It was almost like she sounded like one of those annoying audio recordings on the phone, telling you which buttons to press before putting you on hold. A large spread of papers were put in front of Mako as Golden pointed to each one to tell him which ones were for what purpose.
Mako: *picks up each one, looking over the fine print* Bloody hell… This is going to take hours to finish..
Golden: Unfortunately so. I don’t know about you Mister Mako, but I wouldn’t like to spend most of my nights sorting through all of this with you… It sounds very tedious...
Mako: *groans* No kidding… *scratching the back of his head nervously* Listen, is there any way to do this at other times..? I have to go to a wedding soon, and--
Golden: *waves her hand* Of course, of course. I remember perfectly clear.. If you prefer, we can do a few sections each day I’m here.
Mako: Each day…?
Golden: I’m sure you have other things you can be doing besides this. *gestures to the cradle* You are a stallion trying to run a business, and I’d hate to be the cause of business slowing down.. So, we can do this over the span of a couple days and get it done rather quickly, or sit here all night, and--
Mako: No no, I’ll take the high road on this… *looking through the papers* I’ll just, keep these with me for now.. I-if that’s okay.
Golden: Go right ahead, less weight in my files.. *smirks and scoots closer* I hope you can familiarize yourself with these forms so we can go through them thoroughly..~ *presses against him*
Mako: *eyes dart up from the paper to look at Golden* ………. *leans away a little* Me… too….. Don’t want to miss any dotted lines, hehehe... * “Sweet merciful Luna, let’s just get this over with..!” *
It was a soul crushing hour by the time Mako was able to work through two different forms, each one a stapled packet. As Golden packed them away in her briefcase, Mako let out a pain filled groan at the headache he was slowly getting.
Mako: *rubs his temples* How many more of these are there..?
Golden: Four..
Mako: You must be joking…! Only two of those are giving me a bloody migraine..
Golden: Well, if you want we can try and get through the rest today. Now that we’ve been going through them for just an hour, I already feel like we’ve been at it for six hours..
Mako: Maybe after a short break or something. I just want to get back to work..
Golden: *ears perk* Hmmm. A break sounds nice right now.. Maybe get up, stretch your legs, get a drink, or something to eat…
Mako: That sounds pretty good…
Golden: Maybe, me for example?~
Mako: *SQUEAK!* Wh-what…?!
Golden: Well, since we’re not talking business at the moment, perhaps the topic of pleasure would interest you more.~
Mako: *face turns bright red* Aaaah… Hahahaha! You’re funny… I t-take it this is some kind of joke you tell all the ponies you get sent to talk to, right? Ease the tension? * “Please say yes…!” *
Golden: What’s the matter Mako, are you shy around pretty mares?~
Mako: No, not even a little, but I have a marefriend..! I think it’s….. *cringes a little* Flattering..? That you think I’m…… likable? But I’m really not interested in-- *SQUEAK!*
Golden: *sits up in his lap* What your marefriend doesn’t know won’t hurt her. Besides, it’s just us here..~ *hand sliding up his shirt*
Mako: HRMMMM!!! P-please get off me, I’m really not that kind of stallion! *leaning back to try and get out of her reach*
Golden: One little kiss couldn’t hurt, Mako.~
Mako: I beg to differ, I think it really could hurt me if Bubble knew about it! *leaning his head back to avoid her lips* Now please, desist! Desist!
Golden: Hmhmhm, Mako- …. Mako, Mako, MAKO!!!
*CRASH!!!*
Leaning back too far in his seat in attempt to avoid the persistent mare’s kisses, Mako fell back to the floor, taking Golden with him. For the most part the fall didn’t hurt too badly, apart from Mako’s fin hitting the floorboards hard from under his weight. He struggling to look up and see if Golden was okay and not hurt…. Only to see his face was planted firmly in her cleavage.
Mako: MMMMMHMMMMM!!!! *muffled screaming, “Why does this happen to me?! I’ve been a good pony!!!” *
Golden: Ow…! *looks down* Oh my, hmhmhm. Enjoying yourself in there?~
Mako: *face completely red as he lifts her off his face so he can breathe* N-not really, no…!
Golden: Hmmm, you sure? Because I can’t tell if that’s your tail between my legs or not.~ *wiggles her hips*
Mako: HRMMMM!!!! Please stop that, that’s not helping the situation here!
Just then the sound of bells ringing and the front door of the shop opening interrupted them as two ponies walked in, still talking amongst themselves.
Bubble: I can’t believe you haven’t been in here yet. Mako is just the sweetest thing, I’m sure you two will get along great, hehehe~
Golden: *flinches, ears folding flat before grabbing the front of Mako’s shirt and pulling him into a kiss*
Mako: ?!?!?!
Kevin: …. You mean him? *points*
Bubble: *turns to look* …………………………….. W-what..? M-M-MAKOOOOO?!
Mako: MMMMMM!!! *grabs Golden by the shoulders and pushes her back, pulling away* She jumped me, Bubble, I swear to goddess!
Golden: *stays silent for a minute before giggling* Woops.. My tongue slipped.~
Bubble: Y-your tongue? Who the bloody hell are you and what are you doing slipping your tongue anywhere near MY coltfriend?! *the plumage around her neck fluffing up*
Golden: Oh, right.. *stands up, fixing her skirt and top* I’m Golden Delicious, the investigator sent to do Mako’s paperwork..? *turns around and smiles at Bubble* My apologies, I didn’t see you come in. We were just in the middle of a small break between forms.~
Mako: *scrambles to his paws and spits at the ground* Uuuh-huh, sure..! *staring at her with a large cringe on his face*
Bubble: I don’t care if you are the damn queen of the hippogriffs! Get out of my house before I pull that snake tongue of yours right out of your filthy mouth!! *her horn giving a few sparks*
Golden: *raises an eyebrow, keeping her grin* Hmhmhm, of course. *turns to Mako* I’ll be sure to drop by and help with the rest of the forms another time.
Mako: I-I think I’ll just complete them by myself, thanks.. *keeping his distance*
Golden: Hmm… If you say so. I’ll come by to pick them up whenever your ready then.
Looking down and sees the forms are scattered about the floor, Golden promptly bending over to pick them up, her cutiemark and undergarment showing. The cutiemark was of a black snake wrapped around a golden apple. Seemed rather fitting...
Mako: ERK!!! *turns his head away quickly*
As Golden reached for a document, it and the ones around it started glowing a lime green and blue as they swirled across the floor and gathered neatly into a pile in front of the investigator.
Bubble: *horn glowing as she uses magic, her pupils tiny as she glares at Golden* I said… Get. Out.
Golden: *raises an eyebrow, smirk disappearing* Hmph… Yes, of course.. *gathers her things and walks passed Bubble and Kevin, staring Bubble in the eye before walking out the door*
Mako: *slumps against his desk* Oh thank goddess…
*SLAM* as Bubble closes the door with more force then needed.
Bubble: *turns to Mako and stares, her eyes glowing bright blue* WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!
Mako: *flinches back* Aaah! I-I have no idea, honest! She seemed so nice and professional and then she flipped a crazy switch and got too close and comfy!
Bubble: *fluffs up, throwing the paperwork at Mako, causing it to scatter again* And you did NOTHING to stop her! In fact, when I walked in, it almost looked like you were enjoying yourself! *letting out an angry chirp*
Mako: *swats at the papers* I wasn’t! Sh-she was so creepy about it, and then I fell on the ground! I couldn’t get up cuz LOOK!! *turns his back to show his fin is slightly dented* It hurt trying to stand! And then she started getting even more handsy, but I didn’t wanna hurt her by accident! She’s a small mare!
Bubble: Exactly! How was someone that small able to pin you down on the ground? You could have just picked her up and tossed her out! But noooo, you just sat there and took it! Ugh! I can’t believe you!
Mako: It’s not like it was fun for me, Bubble! If she was a guy I’d have had no problem tossing her out!
Kevin: That’s sexist…
Mako: SHUT UP!!!
Bubble: *shaking, her fists trembling at her sides* … I am so done with you right now..
Mako: *ears perk up* W-what? Bubble, it wasn’t me, I wasn’t trying anything, I swear..!!
Bubble: You weren’t trying to stop anything either..! I… I can’t be around you right now.. *as she goes to walk past Mako to go into the house*
Mako: Bubble.. Bubble, come on..!!!
*SLAM* as Bubble closes the door in Mako’s face.
Mako: *groans, rubbing the back of his neck* Great………….. *turns and looks at Kevin over his shoulder* …….. Who the bloody hell are ye?
Kevin: …. Her brother..?
Mako: ….. *opens his mouth, then closes it* ……… Ugh, I’ll ask her later…..
