Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Nurse Redheart usually didn't mind to work inside a hospital for a provincial town. After all, the load of work, compared to bigger hospitals, was obviously smaller, and the nature of Ponyville as former woodland frontier just excerbated it. A common problem were rare illnesses or complicated operations, since the equipment usually was lacklsuter, but those were thankfully rare.

Sadly, the case she had in her hands did not allow for a transfer, despite the need for a medical compound that needed to be shipped from the oppsotie side of the country.

"No, Pinkie, no!" Nurse Redheart said, as she slapped Pinkie Pie's hoof from the tray of instruments "Don't touch them, those are not toys!"

Pinkie Pie looked sidewyas at the nurse.

"Not toys? But they pretty color!" she asked, her wide blue eyes lookign at Redheart pleadingly.

"They are not, Pinkie. They are sharp, so you might get hurt with them, and some of them are poisonous too," Nurse Redheart quickly took the cart in her hooves, and pushed it aside, before turning back to Pinkie.

"Now, where we were?" Redheart muttered to herslef, as Pinkie started to suckle on the cloth table's cover calmly. Nurse Redheart sighed at that sight, as she remembered she wanted to get some blood samples. Movign the tray closer but not close enough for Pinkie to be tempted, Nurse Redheart peeled away the trasparent film wrapped around the glass phial and uncapped the syringe's needle, before setting it in her mouth firmly.

"Hold still and relax, it'll hurt less if you do." Redheart siad behidn the syrigne, as Pinkie immediately did the opposite and jumped back startled, curling up and shivering a little.

"Nuuu! I no like shots, they hurt!" Pinkie said, as Redheart got closer and clsoer.

"Don't worry, it will hurt only a little," Nurse Redheart tired to say in the attmept to soothe Pinkie. Sadly, she wriggled away on the floor, shivering even more. "Nu! I do not want!"

Nurse Redheart sighed, as she put the syrigne down, while her mind quickly tired to remember what was Pinkie's main rive, until.

"If you behave, I'll buy you some cotton candy!" She said, attemptign to warmly smiel at Pinkie.

Apparently it worked, because Pinkie Pie pronked back up on the table, now hopping up and down on it.

"Cottocandy! Cottocandy! Cottocandy!" Pinkie squealed as she did so, makign the examination squeak loudly.

Apparently, it had worked all too well, which made Nurse Redheart groan a little and say starnly "Pinkie, settle down, or else I can't draw the blood and you won't get your cotton candy later!"

Pinkie Pie stopped immediately, pouting, as she pointed her flank towards Redheart. The latter adjsuted the syrigne in her mouth, and, after poking around the skin a bit, until Nurse Redheart recognized the presence of a vein down the pink pony's hide.

Nurse Redheart inserted the syrigne inside, making Pinkie yelp loudly, while Redheart carefully let it fill up. Ocne this was done, Nurse Redheart emptitied the syringe inside the phial, before grabbing a patch and, peeling the papers from the glued part, applied it on Pinkie's small wound, before giving it a quick peek.

"There, done!" Nurse Redheart said, as she felt somethign warm and wet touchign her frotn hooves and an hissing sound.

"Oh, for Celestia's sake, I have to diaper her."
