Dog Days of Ponyville: Doggie Deux Part 2

Silver Spoon dips into her breakfast and scrapes her hoof/paw down, trailing a line of gravy, to mark the beginning of another day on the wall of her cell. It seemed a good measure of her time spent in the canine prison, since the gravy's oils did not fade on the stainless steel. And it was certainly more desirable then using the other substance still left in an increasing messy pile in the back of her crate.

True to his word, the guard seems to intentionally let her lie in her own filth, for his perceived slight against him, in her foiled escape attempt. He had been very weary of her as he dropped her food and water dish, letting them splatter slightly on the floor of her cage, making her conditions that much more untidy.

"Oh.. my.."

She hears a mare gasp in a whisper. Silver looks up to see a yellow coated pegasus, crouched down at her knees to peer into her cage. Was it due to her wings or was she just that light on her hooves that Silver never heard her steps fall?

"You made quite a mess, haven't you?" she asks in a sincere tone of concern and uses a wing to fan the smell away from her nose.

"You poor baby!" the mare in khaki volunteer's blouse and blue jeans and slippers over her hooves, smiles. She has a name tag over her left breast that reads 'Flutter Shy and over her right is a butterfly pendant, with a blue body and light pink wings that matched the long, natural flowing, soft, mane just like that of Silver's mother, except only a shade darker perhaps.

"This simply will not do.. no not at all." she tisks gently and reaches for the lock. Silver Spoon finally tears her eyes away from the two fleshy orbs that aprently caused the mare's 'barrel' to swell under her blouse.

As Silver meets her soft green eyes and pleasant smile, she is instantly instilled with an instinctual sense of peace and safety. Every instinct in her canine body was telling her "This is a good pony.. and I should be good to her." Silver was only vaguely aware of the warmth and serenity washing over her in the young mares eyes as she inserts a key in the lock. The thought of escape was fleeting as Ms. Shy reaches out her arms after opening the door. "Come on now.. I won't hurt you. You can finish breakfast later. Right now lets get you all cleaned and groomed."

Silver had mixed emotions about being bathed. Her first thought was "But my mane!" but then she remembered the conditions she was living in and sniffed under her foreleg pit, recoiling slightly. She brought her fore hoof to her nose and gagged on the stench of dried food and waste that littered her cage floor.

Silver Spoon sighed and begin slowly, cautiously, making her way to the open door "Gotcha!" Ms. Shy giggled and grabbed her up, her fingers gently wrapped around the little pony/ dog's barrel as she hoisted her up into her arms with a playful smirk at her apparent triumph over another skittish animal.

"There now, don't you worry. Momma Shy is gonna make sure your coat shines again.." she pauses to look at the tag around Silver's neck, fondling it gently in her fingertips as she smiles "Ms. Spoon." she coos and holds her close to her chest.

"Momma.. Shy?" Silver mournfully recalls the last sweet words of her mother.

"There there my child.. momma's here."

Ms. Shy can feel the foal shiver and whimper in her embrace. Is she sad, scared, or just uncertain of her? Fluttershy doesn't know for sure but holds the filly/ puppy close to her chest.

Silver can hear the mare's heart beat just as clear as it we're her own. At first it begins to soothe her and hold back the tears welling up in her big violet eyes.

She flinches as she thinks for just a moment she can hear the steady *BEEP.. BEEP.. BEEP..* of an EKG in perfect rhythm with the mare's gentle palpitations. She could almost swear the device was right there in the room, somehow tapping out each beat of the kindly young mare's warm heart, like a medical metronome.

The Beeping dies away however as she feels the mare stand up. She can feel the flesh underneath her blouse and even a

"Is is that her teat?!" she gasps and feels the other one in the same place on the opposite breast.

"Oh my.. you are an affectionate one.." the mare giggled and blushed, moaning slightly as Silver proded with her hooves deeper into her sensitive nipples. "OH!" she squeaks "Nnnot so hard, Silver Spoon." she gently scolds "Claws can hurt you know." she giggles and smiles.

Silver is taken back by the realization as she recalls her hoof's reflection in the water dish as that of a paw with four clawed toes and a dew claw further up her foreleg. "Oh right.. dog." she sighs and retracts her offending hooves from her molestations, fearing her claws, of which she is only partially aware of, may indeed damage the mare's sensitive teats.

As the mare begins totting her down the corridor, Silver notes the expressions of her canine colleagues. Some are laying peaceful on the floor of their kennels and others are happily greeting the mare, with wagging tails and tongues hanging out. They do not bark or growl as they do with the guards that enter, with their shiny badges and baseball caps, but whimper slightly to garnish her attention and likely her affections.

Silver is carried outside the red door for the first time into a nondescript white hallway "Oh Mr. Wolfsbane." Ms Shy hestiantly announces, peering into an open door and Silver see's her adversary sitting at his desk. The tall light blue earth stallion with a silver mane wears an uncharacteristic smile for the young volunteer. "Yes Ms. Shy?" He ignores the disobedient bitch in her arms.

"I'm going to take little Ms. Silver here out for a bath and some much needed fresh air." she announces to her superior in a very quiet and subdued tone "If thats.. okay I mean." Fluttershy keeps her eyes down at Silver Spoon, fininding more comfort in meeting her soft and cool lavender eyes then the stern glare her superior had now. "It's fine. Just be careful. She's a little smart ass and an escape artist." he chuckles as Silver sticks her tongue out at him.

Fluttershy feels Silver tense up and hears her growl slightly but ignores the errant foal/ canine. "I was wondering it it's not too much trouble.. could you be sure and um.. hose out her cage for me.." Shy asks in a whisper "I mean.. I'm not accusing you of anything, but her conditions are not exactly up to our standards. Are they?" she squeaks.

"Fine." the stallion sighs despondently. "After I finish my coffee." he states as he lifts his mug to his lips and takes a sip. "It should be done by the time.. ugh.. Miss Silver gets her bath." he groans at how cute Fluttershy was being, almost forcing him to comply with her wishes.

"Thank you very much." Shy bows and continues walking down the hall toward a another door, with the warm morning sun pouring through a tiny window.

Silver Spoon has to squint at the bright sunlight she hadn't seen in two days, and hold a hoof over her eyes to shield them from Celestia's radiance if indeed ponies in this world did have a princess who controlled the phases of sun and moon as she did in her former life.
