Not the Dentist
Minuette had always since she was young felt unknown. She was always told to go find a toothbrush or called Colgate. Why? She had no idea all she could do was deal with the fact of it. Her name was Minuette and she built the clocks for her freind Clock Turner to use. Always the only one she could turn to was her clock working friend. Well, hourglasses really but she never bothered to call them that. It let her keep her sanity. Flashing back to her past she remembered the school room.

"Hey Colgate why don't you use that mane to clean those nasty teeth of yours?" A random pegasus colt called out rudely as she walked in, making her lower her head as various fillies and colts laughed. Her blue form seemed to shrink under hundreds of dark black shadows. Standing only a moment before sitting at the very back corner desk, she sulked for the rest of that day as she was insulted behind her back by the entire class room. All except one young brown colt that sat in the front. Silent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why me? Why am I always antagonized?" Minuette asked the thin air, receiving no answer she dropped where she had been sulking the entire time, her eyes became puffy as tears started to stream down. Even as her door was being slammed on she didn't move, she wasn't in the mood. Even though her heart said move, her mind refused.

Minuette had just turned nine and had for the first time built up the courage and invited four fillies over for a party, and everything went fine of course, but when she opened the large box that the fillies had brought. She had been to shocked and shattered to respond. In the box was a few tubes of mint flavored toothpaste, Colgate dreaded this, where nickname came from a huge toothbrush. Her little courage deflated as she ran up the stairs and into her room. Her sobs silent as she was left alone, hearing only laughter and insults torwards her, she continuously sobbed. Her day had gone horribly from there on as she sulked about the fact of it until dusk. That was when she looked outside to find strange sight, a little brown colt carrying some kind of wooden object in his over stuffed sattle bag. TORWARDS HER HOUSE! For a moment she was disheartened as she was forced by her mother to go downstairs and greet the colt.
"H- Hi Minuette umm my brother CackleBack was being a jerk so I just wanted to apologize for all the things he said to insult you. When we were playing at recess I noticed you were really sad and this may or may not seem strange but you looked like you were watching your own life pass by so instead to distract you from that I thought I would get you this." The small colt said pulling out a a hour glass and setting it infront of Minuette. Instead of getting mad like she should of she had cried.
"Thank you," she said her voice cracking as she turned embarrassed, "Could I ask your name? You never get called in class or really stick near anyone." Minuette continued quietly.
"My names Time Turner." He said nodding her a goodbye.

Just two days after getting her cutie mark Minuette was accused of faking her cutie mark, by non other than those same four mares. Of course she still had no friends here so all alone, she was harassed by stallions to see who could slap the fake off of her. For those next three years she had constant bruises on her flanks from swipes and slaps at them, even some adults had been dared to, that had been the last straw. "Colgate" was laughing stalk rumored to have a fake cutie mark.
At age twelve Minuette only left the house with her parents on either side if not her only friend in the world: Time Turner. She was scared of everything that so much as looked at her with anything but a smile.
That had been a rare luxury.

"Minuette Celestia so help me I will break down the door! What's wrong?" Time turner's voice called from outside, obviously distressed.
Standing shakily Minuette made her way to the door and unlocked the door, stepping back as it burst open and she was in a warm embrace. Her tears only flowed out faster as she cried into Time Turner's shoulder her voice close to shattering as 18 years of bullying and shunning came out completely. Time Turner kept her tight as she cried.
"I'm here now Minuette, it's all going to be fine now okay." He soothed as she started to dry of tears and few teardrops of blood fell from her dry, puffy red eyes.
"Sorry for wetting your shoulder Time Turner." She whimpered silently as instead of an apology was greeted with a long passionate kiss that dried any last tears, as she became fully comforted her by this tan brown stallion with every passion being the same as hers.
"Will you let me be your comfort and lover, I can't stand you being like this. You are a big gear in the clock of time and life and the biggest in this ol' mechanical heart," He said pulling away, "I want to see your smiles not tears, I want to hear your laughs not your cries, I want to be able to feel you put the winding key in my heart as it beats against you." Time turner said in no way joking about any of it.
Speechless Minuette held her breathe. Her a key to winding his heart? Was he truly asking this of her? But… No no more buts?
"Please say you will." He said as he looked her in the eye.
"I'm… yes Time Turner I will."
