"Look girls! A broken stem on one of the zinnias!" All three of the flower ponies fell to the ground.
"The horror! The horror!" Roseluck twitched.

"Nurse Redheart, how does one treat shock from a broken flower?" Dr. Stable looked grim, with a slight twinkle in his eye.
"I don't know! You're the doctor!" Nurse Redheart threw her hooves up dramatically.
"Well, should I treat them for shock?"
"Dr. Stable, you are the doctor, figure it out! I'd like to help, but I have four patients with broken bones I need to attend to."
"Well! She certainly is a grump." He huffed. He walked over to the girls' room. "If I put them in therapy afterwards, how can the therapist handle their drama?" He shook his head and walked in. He chuckled slightly at their faces. They were still in shock, and their horrified faces resembled gargoyles. "Girls?"
"The horror! The horror!" Roseluck squeaked. The other girls acted like Equestria was coming to an end. "I really hope I don't need to put them in the asylum. They're crazy!"
"Well, girls, um..."
"I'll handle this." Nurse Redheart trotted into the room.
"Thanks. I'll attend to your patients."
"Done with them. You can change their casts if you want though. The blue unicorn, Mr.Pierce, I think, had a gaping wound, and you can change the bandages." She had a merry twinkle in her eye, signaling she was joking.
"Ha ha, now is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, now just stay out of the way."
"Okay." He sat on the ground and scrunched up his nose. "Just because she's from Trottingham, she thinks she's better than me."
"Heard that, and that's not true. I didn't even live in Trottingham, I lived in Los Pegasus. Gees, how well do you know me?"
"Sorry, dear."
She walked over to the girls, but not before casting Stable a fed-up glare. He walked out, tending to the other patients. She felt slightly guilty, but nonetheless, she went over to the girls.
"Well, the duct tape seems to have worked, but unfortunately it will die."
"Redheart! What was that for?!" Dr. Stable scolded.
The gargoyle-like faces melted away, and were replaced by tears. Eventually, somepony brought them another zinnia, and they moved on with their lives.

"Well, that was a nightmare." Dr.Stable wiped his forehead with a handkerchief. "You really could've handled that better. Why did you do that."
She shrugged. "Had to tell 'em or they'd never come out of it. But what do you know? You don't even know how old I am!"
"Yes I do!" he shouted indignantly.
"How old am I?"
"Er..." he blushed. "25?"
She sighed. "27. Looks like my shift is over. I'll see you tomorrow." She walked out slowly, her head drooped and ears down.
"Nurse! Wait!" The door slammed behind her. His expression fell into a pained one. "What have I done?"
