Caring for the Sickly

          "Here we are, home sweet home." "Time to show you around!" I gently place the foal on the ground. She begins to wander around and notices my red lava lamp, she also takes a seat. "Luckily that thing is on a table and away from her reach." Her horn begins to glow and the lamp is engulfed with an aura. I doubt she can lift it, she is only a foal. The real question is; who taught her how to cast spells? To my amazement the lamp begins to levitate off of the table and slowly move. She is doing it, astonishing! The lamp slowly is lowered to the ground, so slowly it is almost as if she knows what it is made of. Almost there, gently, gently.   Tink!

          "Weeehehehe!" she giggled.

She did it and without a single crack too! "Good job little one!" She gave a little smile and began to walk towards the other room.

          "Na ah ah!" I said with care  "You can see the house and get a better view on my back." She giggled. I guess that means yes. Hehe. "I think I'll show you the kitchen." As I walk to the kitchen I take the hall with many portaits of great wizards,doctors, and surgeons. I quickly take a glance to see what she is thinking. She was looking around as we pass but notices me and stares. She smiles towards me. I think I'll return the gesture. I grin, she giggles. We arrive at last, luckily all of the fruits haven't been touched by ants. So lucky indeed. "Would you like some apple?" I kindly gesture towards the foal.

         "Ohh!" She says excitedly.

         "Ok here you go!" I cast a summoning spell to bring me a bonesaw of red light and began to cut the apple into 8 symmetrical slices. As I was doing so she trotted to my side to watch and sat down. When I finished I released the bonesaw, as it fell it exploded like glass. Triangular fragments of red light filled the air for a brief moment and vanished. In that very moment the little filly ran under me in panic. While doing so her small horn poked my chest, I looked down and met her worried eyes.

         "It's ok little one the doctor is here to make everything better." I lowered my head and nuzzled her to ensure that everything is fine. Her shaking began to subside, she nuzzled back and let out a small wimper. "Now now little one follow me, so we can snack." While exiting the kitchen I opened the fridge and pulled out some grape juice. My favorite! I helped her up onto the white chair, which was padded with a red seat cushion. I took a seat right beside her. I teleported a plate infront of the both of us to place the apple slices into. She takes a glance at the slices neatly piled ontop of one another and focuses on the one that I levitate infront of her. She makes pleading noises and gives me puppy eyes. I gently pass the slice halfway into her mouth. She tries to chew it but doesnt have the strength to do so. I don't hesitate to help. Crack! She closes her eyes and enjoys the juiciness of the apple, when she finished she gave me a begging gesture much like a hug but more like a "Feed me please." I couldn't resist. I give her the other half while consuming a slice for myself. After the brief moment of enjoying life's sweet dessert we stared into eachothers eyes and giggled.

            After a few moments of enjoying apple slices, I decided that it would be a good time to pour us a drink. I took two cups off of the counter, one normal sized and the other smaller. I twisted the cap off of the container and poured us some grape juice. Before I even thought about taking a sip of my favorite drink, I decided to watch what the filly's reaction would be. As I gently pass over the cup, she reaches out to grab it with open arms. She looks at me and than back to her cup. She smells the strong scent of the juice. Wow she actually smells her drink before drinking it, much like I do. She starts off with a small sip, but soon begins to guzzle it down. She is litterally chugging the drink! Incase she gets thirsty I know what she likes.

            "Ahhhhh.... hehe."  Grape juice began to drip from her muzzle.

I've never seen a young filly act this way, I know I'm a doctor but... her reaction is very different from many. "Oh my what a mess you made, I'll clean it!" I levitate a white wash cloth and whipe her face carefully, In doing so the cloth gets stained with a small radius of purple. "There, all better."

             "Hehe!"

            "Umph!"  Oh my!.. she leaped forward and gave me a hug, It would be rude of me if I didn't do the same. "Thank you young one, that was very kind of you." She still sat their hugging me. "Alright alright, you won." I said in a soft tone. I lowered my head and before I decided to nuzzle her back, I realized something. Did she see our photo? The one Mrs.Redheart took? Does that mean she thinks... I'm her....... Father?
