“Doctor,” Discord whispered in Doctor Redheart’s hair softly. She rustled in the hospital bed and kept her eyes closed, baring a warm smile.

“Yes?” Redheart purred.

“I have an idea,” He told her.

“Do tell,” She laughed quietly.

“Have you heard of the Elements of Harmony?” He asked.

“Of course…and I like where this is going. Please, continue,” She said with an interested tone.

“Well, the six of them wouldn't be hard to possess—we could easily take them over,” Discord suggested. With that, Doctor Redheart sat up and grinned at him like it was Hearth Warming’s Eve. She giggled and scrunched her nose, then quickly kissing him on the lips and hopping off the bed with excitement.

“Oh, Disi, your ideas are always the best,” She yawned as she stretched her limbs—trying to pique Discord’s interest slightly. She ran her hands over her bare chest and sighed. “It’s too bad you can’t come with me. You’d have some fun.”

“For now, enjoy that fun by yourself. While you can…” Discord chuckled.

“Gladly!” She chirped and slid on her light pink tube top. He then watched as she slipped on her panties and clipped her stockings on, and her black silk looking skirt.

“I do wonder where you get such sexy and imaginative clothing from,” He smirked.

“The pay is amazing as a nurse! And now, since I’m a doctor, I’m practically drowning in money!” She winked and rummaged about in a cabinet. She grabbed vials of green liquids and needles—slipping them inside a small, white purse with a red cross on it. “Wish me luck!” And with that, she left the room and escaped into the hallway.

Tentacles of every shape and size awaited her, slithering about the walls. And, another thing was that mares filled the creatures’ grasps. She admired them with glances and quick scans as she walked past them. An appendage quickly slid around her arm and she stopped in her tracks.

“Not today, sorry,” She pouted and petted it soothingly. “I promise later, right now I’m going to get you a few treats!” It sprang up with enthusiasm and wiggled a few times that was meant to be nodding. “Good boy!” She chuckled and walked towards the exit of the hospital. She pushed open the doors and breathed in the fresh air of Ponyville.

And with a sad realization, she saw that the town was so tranquil and…ordinary. Hopefully, she would be able to fix that and make something happen around here. She plastered a real smile on her face and made her way to the castle. It was the ‘Queen of Friendship’s’ domain, and she was bound to be there along with her council members. Or as she called them, friends.

When Doctor Redheart was not too far away from the hospital, she was knocked to the ground by a unknown source. She groaned and opened up her eyes, hoping to locate the source and receive an explanation of the painful fall—and as she did, she heard the faint noise of papers flying through the air.

A young face with bright green eyes and sharp teeth was what greeted her eyes. She soaked in the handsome features of his face, enjoying every bit. His face then turned a faded crimson and he tried to get words out.

“I-I’m so sorry, Miss Redheart!” Spike stuttered. So it was him. Doctor Redheart had him in her office ever since he was a teenager. Back then, she was around 16 herself.

“Its fine,” Redheart smiled and brought her face closer his, smelling the scent of a burning ember. He lifted himself off her body awkwardly and let out a nervous laugh. He brought out his hand and she took it unhesitatingly. As she was lifted by his strength, she felt electricity flow through her fingertips and into his.

“Sorry about that, I can be clumsy sometimes,” He laughed and bent over to pick up the scrolls off the ground and put them back under his arm. Redheart quickly joined him, going on both of her knees and helping him pick up the scrolls. She got up and gave them to him, not missing a blink of those beautiful eyes of his.

“It’s no problem, really, Spike,” Doctor Redheart said, feeling her heart lift as she said his name.

“You…remember my name?” He seemed surprised.

“Of course, I remember every one of my frequent visiting patients,” She chuckled.

“Yeah, I used to get hurt all the time. Like I said, I can be a bit clumsy,” He laughed along. “Where are you off to?” She was thrown back by the question, and wondered how she should answer it.

“To the castle,” She replied simply with ease.

“The castle? Why?” He furrowed his brows. She walked slowly to him and leaned into his spiky green hair.

“You’ll see soon enough,” She whispered and walked past him. He turned around, bewildered by how close she got and how far she

got in a matter of seconds. And he wondered how one lady could be so attractive.

“Rainbow Dash, like I’ve said many times before, turning the town into a city is something we should be talking about with the mayor,” Twilight sighed and rubbed her temples.

“I knew you were going to say that, and I and Pinkie got the approval on paper!” Rainbow Dash told her proudly, holding out a piece of paper. Twilight raised her brows in surprise and took it, reading it carefully.

“Very impressive. I’m glad you got this. With a signature and everything…” Twilight mumbled.

“See? I told you she’d be impressed!” Rainbow snickered at Pinkie. She rolled her eyes.

“What do you think about the town turning into a city, Twilight?” Pinkie asked her.

“Me? I think it’s a very good idea, recently I’ve heard that Manehatten has expanded its city. And technology as well,” Twilight informed them. “I’m sure that’s the same reason Mayor Mare accepted the suggestion.” Suddenly, the doors to the meeting room were opened slightly and Doctor Redheart came out. “Nurse Redheart?”

“Hello,” Redheart smiled warmly. “And call me Doctor Redheart.”

“What brings you here?” Twilight asked her. Doctor Redheart hid her smug expression and got closer to the circle of seven chairs. She stopped when she was just close enough.

“I’d like some details on the patient, Discord,” Redheart requested.

“Discord?” Twilight scoffed. “He fell from Space, what’s more to know about him?”

“Well, he has the tendency to be a little…suggestive,” Redheart implied.

“No doubt! I can see it in his eyes all the time…” Fluttershy commented.

“These are things that we’d like to hear, Fluttershy!” Rarity gasped. “How long has this been happening?”

“It really isn't a problem, natural if you ask me. It’s just…“ Redheart began, taking a gas mask out of her purse and strapping it to her head, “…He’s very persistent.”

“Um…do excuse me for asking, what is that weird thingy?” Pinkie asked curiously.

“This?” Redheart pointed to her gas mask. “This is a gas mask.”

“Why…Why are you wearing a gas mask?” Twilight questioned her.

“Because of the gas, of course!” Redheart replied.

“What gas?” Rainbow Dash scrunched up her nose. Doctor Redheart took a small, thick disc out of her purse and threw it onto the floor.

“This gas,” She stated simply and green gas shot out of the device, clouding around the room and causing all the elements to cough and soon enough, fall to the floor—unconscious.
