The rest of the wedding reception went on uneventfully. After most of the guests left, Mako was able to give his “wedding gift” to Xhisrc: a body pillow with a photograph on Lady on it in a pink bikini. Xhisrc was… less than amused by the gift, but Lady found it quite hilarious, commending her brother on how the silly harmless prank turned out. As much as Mako wanted to spend time with his newest niece, both Bubble Lee and Mako knew that they had to return to the Reef, with promises of being back for Daniel’s graduation.
A month have gone by since the graduation, and while the trip to Ponyville and Canterlot used vacation time, it hardly felt like a vacation. Going back to the hustle and bustle of work was tiring and with the hospital as busy as ever, Bubble was happy to take any break she could get. With the weird happenstances occuring around the island and ponies mysteriously getting injured or found unconcious, the blue-maned nurse has been putting on a lot of extra overtime and working late.
But not today. Today Bubble has every intention of leaving work on time, if not a little early if she could get away with it! With bounce in her step, Bubble went through her day, checking the halls and attending to her patients with a bright smile on her face. Her fellow co-workers couldn’t help but stop and smile in response, all having a good idea of what has gotten the bouncy mare in such a good mood. A pink maned, zebra-unicorn hybrid couldn’t help but grinned as she pulled a yellow manilla envelope from her desk.
Nurse: hands Bubble a file Here you go, Bubble.
Bubble: smiles and takes it Thank you, Miss Lily.
Nurse: rolls her eyes You’ve been working here long enough, you can just call me Impala like everyone else. No need for such formality here, hehe~
Bubble: smiles wide and nod Sure thing Impala, hehehe. Oh, just so you know, once I finish with this last patient, I’ll be clocking out for the day. tail wagging
Impala: ears perk Oh? That’s unusual for you. What’s the special occasion? with a grin
Bubble: Oh it’s nothing all that special.. I just wanted get home early to prepare a nice dinner. It’s me and my coltfriend’s one year anniversary after all~
Impala: Wow, has it really been one year now? Congratulations! Got anything planned?
Bubble: Not really. I would have liked to have gotten work off but I already used too many vacation days with the wedding and my ne-.. Uh.. my coltfriend’s nephew’s graduation. Dinner, maybe a movie….
Impala: And other obligatory couple activities afterwards, I know the drill, hehehe~ with a wink But while all that seems fine and dandy, it seems rather… boring, don’t you think?
Bubble: ears perk Boring? How so?
Impala: It’s not everyday that you celebrate a one year anniversary! Why not surprise him by making it a little… extra~ eyebrow waggles
Bubble: blinks…. Before her cheeks turn pink O-oh… you mean.. That kind of “extra”… thinks about it …. I suppose I could do that, hehehe~
Impala: Trust me, it’s the little things that really mean the difference. Like wearing a perfume you know he likes, or wearing something that will just make his jaw drop!…. Or nothing at all!
Bubble: snorts Hahaha! Oh goodness, I think Mako has seen me naked plenty of times, that won’t be much of a surprise to him. waves her hand
Impala: blushes a little Well… the point is……… what is going on in here?
While talking, the two nurses were walking and ended up in the main entrance for the ER. The front sliding doors flew open as stretcher after stretcher was being wheeled in, each pony and hybrid on them with severe burns on them. The two nurse rushed to the front desk.
Impala: What is going on here?!
Receptionist: looks up We just got a call about an apartment complex on Roan Road catching on fire. There is suspicion of arson.
Bubble: ears fold back Oh goddesses.. And the residents?
Receptionist: The fire department is there on scene now. So far there are 2 casualties and at least a dozen seriously injured. watching as another stretcher gets wheeled in
Impala: takes a deep breath How horrible.. Hopefully we can help these poor ponies.. It’s time to get back to work… as she turns and rushes after a paramedic
Agreed. ^^
Being the Changelings are (sort of) like insects and orcas are mammals, I figure they would find some ‘incompatibilities’ at the very least. Though given that Imago has been around the block a few hundred times I imagine she knows how to handle it.
Interesting.
