Colgate's Practice

The rest of the week went by rather quickly and before they knew it, Friday afternoon had arrived. Colgate had to put another patient in her hospital and realized that simply taking them bread in the night would no longer be enough. She knew she would need to start storing food in the basement and would need to purchase a freezer for the frozen foods. She also realized that this would not be cheap and doing all this without Lyra noticing would be next to impossible.

As they were closing shop Lyra asked her sister, "Colgate, would it be ok if I were to go up to Canterlot for the weekend to visit some of my friends? I really miss them."

Colgate knew that she would have to pay for her train ticket which irritated her but at the same time she was ecstatic because she would be able to get everything she needed for the hospital without her knowing it. She smiled and replied "Of course you can Lyra!"

Lyra noticed something about her sister's smile. It just looked a bit different and her eyes seemed to be a bit darker blue than normal. It seemed almost sinister to her but she didn't say anything about it. She asked, "Colgate, I really don't have any money. I don't want to upset you but could you buy me my train ticket?"

Colgate cheerfully replied, "Of course I can!" The two headed over to the train station where Colgate bought Lyra not only a ticket to Canterlot but a return ticket as well. Lyra looked at her sister and said, "Well I should get going. The train leaves in five minutes."

Colgate smiled and replied, "Yes, you should. Now remember to be home by Sunday afternoon. I don't want you getting home late, not getting all your sleep and being tired on Monday."

Lyra waved at her sister and said, "Don't worry sis, I'll be home when you want me to!"

Colgate appeared to head home when the train left the station. She realized that the weekend would race by all too quickly for her so instead of going home, she headed to the appliance store. She walked in and was greeted by the clerk. The clerk asked her, "Dr. Colgate, it is good to see you! How may I help you today?"

Colgate was walking around and saw exactly what she wanted, a good sized chest freezer that was on sale. She pointed her hoof at the freezer and asked, "How much is that freezer?"

The clerk replied, "That freezer? It normally costs 300 bits but for today only it is on sale for 250 bits."

Colgate gave the clerk a sinister smile and said, "I'll take it."

The clerk's eyes lit up because she had not sold any appliances all week and her boss was starting to get frustrated. She asked, "Seriously, you'll take it?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, really!"

The clerk radioed the delivery pony to get the freezer ready for delivery. The clerk said, "That will be 250 bits. How do you plan on paying?"

Colgate pulled her debit card out of her saddle bag and said, "I will be paying with my debit card."

The cashier was giddy by this point as the employee's at the store get bonuses when they sell items that cost over 200 bits. Soon the delivery pony had the freezer on a cart waiting out in front of the store. The pony asked, "So doctor, where do you want this delivered to?"

Colgate replied, "I want it taken to my practice."

Once they arrived at her practice the pony asked, "Doctor, where do you want this?"

Colgate replied, "I can handle it from here." She gave the pony a tip of twenty bits, which is customary in Ponyville when a pony delivers something.

As the delivery pony headed back to the store Colgate levitated her new freezer into her office. Once she had it inside she closed her door and locked it. She took the freezer down into the basement. Given that she is a unicorn, Colgate had her freezer in the hospital in a matter of minutes. When she plugged it in it roared to life. The unfamiliar noise startled some of her patients. Moondancer, who she had just locked up earlier that afternoon shouted, "What's that noise? Colgate, is that you?"

Upon hearing this she stormed over to Moondancer and smacked her. She yelled, "I don't remember giving you permission to speak. SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO, THAT'S WHAT GOOD PATIENTS DO!"

Moondancer began to cry and asked, "Colgate, why are you doing this? I brush and I floss."

Colgate replied, "Yeah, but you still manage to get a cavity!"

Colgate got out the same needle she rammed into Bon Bon's cavities and began ramming it into Moondancer's cavity with more force than she ever did with her other patients, drawing quite a bit of blood. Colgate stuck her hoof in the unicorns mouth covering it in blood. She began to lick the blood off of her hoof and said, "Wow, unicorn blood is even tastier than earth pony blood!

Moondancer began to cry out in pain but nopony heard it as Colgate's laughter drowned it out. After a couple of minutes she stopped and all was quiet. All she could hear was her patients breathing and the hum of her new freezer. She smiled and said, "Now this is more like it."

She slammed the door shut as she headed back upstairs. Her next purchase would be a large amount of frozen food, the treats that her patients loved so much, but she knew that she would have to wait until tomorrow when the insides of her freezer would be nice and cold, so she headed home for the night, where she got the best night's sleep she got since Lyra got home.

When she woke up the following morning it was already 930. She wiped the sleep out of her eyes and jumped out of bed full of energy. She said to herself, "Wow, I have never felt more energetic in my whole life!"

Colgate decided to eat out that morning before going to the grocery store. After eating a nice filling breakfast at the cafe she headed to the grocery store. She grabbed a cart and began getting what she would need. She got quite a bit of ice cream along with a decent amount of ice. When she got to the checkout line, Lemon Drops gave her a stunned look. She asked, "Uh Colgate, why are you buying so much ice cream? I didn't think you would even touch that stuff with a hundred foot pole."

Colgate had a nervous look on her face. She knew she had to come up with a half-decent lie. She quickly replied, "Well Cheerilee wants me to store it at my place for her students."

Lemon Drops asked, "THIS MUCH ice cream though?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, this much." She frowned and continued, "This isn't a very good way to treat a customer if you ask me. Perhaps I should speak with your manager."

Lemon Drops dropped the issue. She realized that she had made a mistake and simply gave Colgate the treats for free. Colgate gave her a sinister smile and said, "You have a good day Lemon Drops, oh, and thanks for the treats!"

Colgate quickly rushed the frozen goods to her office and got them down into her freezer before they melted. Colgate could hear Moondancer and Bon Bon talking amongst themselves.

Moondancer asked, "So how long do you think she will keep us down here?"

Bon Bon replied, "I don't know but I don't think she will be letting us leave anytime soon. Don't tell her this but I think she is completely crazy."

Moondancer said, "Crazy? She's more than crazy! She's a total psychotic bit......."

Before Moondancer could finish her sentence she was interrupted, "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME?"

Moondancer saw a wrathful Colgate right in front of her. She said, "Well I, you see, I...."

Colgate smacked her over the comment. She screamed, "So you think I'm a psychotic bitch huh? Well let me tell you this you overgrown piece of shit, you haven't seen anything yet! Pretty soon you'll be begging for me to be treating you the way I have been."

Colgate saw Bon Bon's tooth that she had knocked out earlier in the week on the floor. She picked it up, handed it to Moondancer and in a stern voice she ordered, "Swallow it."

Moondancer yelled, "Eeeww! That is gross! You seriously want me to swallow Bon Bon's tooth?"

Colgate sneered, "Well no shit Sherlock! I wouldn't have ordered you to if I didn't want you to."

Moondancer again told her captor that she would not swallow the tooth. Colgate was levitating her drill and a glass of water. She had a sadistic grin on her face as she sneered, "Well it's your choice, either you swallow Bon Bon's tooth or I will drill a hole through your head." She began to laugh and continued, "Eh maybe not. There's not anything in your head to damage so why bother!"

Reluctantly Moondancer swallowed the tooth. Somehow she managed not to get it caught in her throat but what she didn't know is that soon she would have a stomach ache of epic proportions. Moondancer began to cry as she realized that chances were that the tooth would really harm her digestive system or even kill her. She cried, "Colgate, what if that tooth kills me?"

Colgate rolled her eyes and replied, "Well if it does, it does. You will have brought it upon yourself."

Her emotionless disregard for Moondancer's life angered Bon Bon. Bon Bon shouted, "Buck you Colgate! How could you be so cruel?"

Colgate stormed over to her mouthy patient and said, "My my, such language! That is something that must be corrected!"

Colgate attached a chain to the upper right arm of the chair and began to turn a crank that caused it to stretch outwards. Before too long this was really stressing the muscles and cartilage that held her leg in it's socket. Bon Bon was soon screaming in pain for Colgate to stop, so Colgate stopped turning the crank, for the moment anyway.

Colgate looked at her terrified patient and asked, "So, you want me to stop all of this? Just say the special word and I will not rip your leg out of it's socket."

Bon Bon took a deep breath and said, "Please."

Colgate gave Bon Bon a warm smile and replied, "Bon Bon, that was the....." She paused for a minute, got an evil grin on her face and sneered, "WRONG ANSWER!" She then began turning the crank quickly until Bon Bon screamed in agony as her leg was ripped out of it's socket. Colgate then turned the crank back the other way to where it was before, leaving Bon Bon's dislocated leg just laying on the arm of the chair.

Colgate saw this and started laughing, "Oh poor widdle Bon Bon, please was the right answer after all. How could I have forgotten what the special word was?"

Moondancer yelled, "You monster, how could you just do that?"

Colgate began to eye the crank on her chair and replied, "You might want to shut up if you don't want a dislocated leg along with damaged intestines."

Colgate decided because of their behavior, that she would not feed them until right before she went to bed. She began to enjoy this more and more. She had numerous ways she could punish them for disobedience. Not only did she have the power to inflict brutal pain upon them, she also had the ability to deny them food. Very soon though, she would begin to do a lot more than cause them discomfort, she would begin to drain them of their very desire to survive.
