The foal

        Beep....beep.....beep....beep... Is she breathing? Beep....beep....beep....  Her mane and coat is most similar to mine, just faded a shade of white. Beep.....beep.... beeeee....... No I can't allow this, she will not die young.... I will change her fate! She won't pass... I lowered my head and spoke in a soft tone. "I promise..." I knew what I had to do, and that was to shock her body enough to bring back her pulse. I raised my horn and imagined the harshest ways to die, but also how prevent it...  In a matter of seconds  a wave of red electricity is casted through her body.

                   The cardioscan begins to beep again.

Her coat is white, making her veins show up, especially because of the shock. I hope it didn't hurt her. But the difference is that her veins are, red? No this can't be. No it's just a genetic mutation. It can't really be what I'm thinking can it, can it? She begins to tossle and turn. Oh my she appears to be waking, should I say something? No not until she looks at me.

       "Ehh."  She stuttered.

I guess she did feel it, poor thing. She could awake any second. Her mane regains it's former color. I don't know what to say, she survived. She surpassed treatment, incredible. "Are you ok little one?" She turns her head and faces me, with eyes wide open. She either hasn't learned to say basic words, or lost her memory. That wouldn't be good, maybe I'll test her with the word apple. "Can you say apple?" I spoke with exaggeration.  "Very simple word actually."

        "Hehe!"

**Ok well I atleast know what to say to cheer her up, always good to know. "Ok little one time to take you back to nurse Redheart."  I levitate the foal onto my back and cast a teleportation spell to arrive at ponyville's hospital. "Nurse Redheart, I have brought back the foal and in good health!"

       "Thank you Silver, I'm glad I can count on you." "I'll watch over her, I don't want you to have more work to do."

       "Thank you Mrs.Redheart, here you are." As I gently pass the foal to her, she begins to squirm in her arms. I hope the treatment doesn't have some sort of effect on her that wasn't expected.

       "Now now little one say bye to Dr.Silver."

In an instant I see the foals horn glow... blood red and silver. Just like mine?  In the blink of an eye, she appeared on my back.

        "Oh Silver." She says in a low tone with a curious look. "It seems as if she is choosing you to be her care taker."

        "Come again?"

        "You heard me."

I... I'm very puzzled, she only looked at me for a minute. There is no way she could have these feelings for me, unless she knew what I was doing. If so, she is some foal. I turn to look at her on my back. Her eyes are closed and for a foal she is hanging on tight, does she think.... I'm her father? I begin to feel my heart's pace increase.

       "Aww you look so cute together, almost as if she was your own." Redheart stated with feeling. "Just one moment, stay right there and don't move!" She pulls out a small camera that seems to be years old. Click!  "Here you are."

We do look the same, It's almost scary how similar we look. Her mane is slightly different from mine in shape, slightly. As a doctor/surgeon I have her medical records, meaning I know what she needs, she appearantly has no gaurdian. "Doesn't she have to be put up for adoption first?" I exclaimed with worry.

     "No silly! She is just going to be in your care for a few days, unless; you want to keep her?"

I'm scrambling right now, clueless on what to say. I don't understand, nothing in the world can make me lose my mind. It seems as if I have found my kryptonite.

     "Um.... Doctor are you alright, you seem to be lost in thought."

     "Yes yes I'm fine, I shall oversee her health for a day or two." "Carry on!" The first thing that came to mind was my home. I quickly casted a teleportation spell and vanished.

      "Wow, I never knew he was this soft, he always had a plan for everything."  I think I just caused him to have a mental breakdown. Should I mail him an apology? No he'll be fine, he always is.
