a Nightmare to Remember

Mari woke up from her peaceful slumber. Today was the day Mari would start her new job as a part time nurse and medicine production. She brought her saddlebags filled with all sorts of advanced medicines and recipes to create them. She hoped that she could get these medicines in production because she knew it could save a lot of lives.

Mari entered the hospital and checked in with the same pony that has that bubblegum colored mane. Mari went into the backroom, put her stuff in her personal locker, and put on her nurse outfit. which really was just a small tiara that has the red cross on it, she didn’t really like the small hat thing and hoped to exchange it for a lab coat or something. As she was putting her stuff away the pony that she checked in with came in.

“Morning Mari Tech glad to have you here, by the way i am nurse Redheart. but you can just call me Redheart.”

“Nice to meet you, you can just call me Mari, i’m fine with that” As she said that both ponies shook hooves.

“I noticed you brought a saddlebag with papers and pill bottles, might i ask what they are for?”

“Yes you may, they are advanced medicines where i come from, and the papers are the recipes for the creation of them, i was hoping i could start a production of them here”

“The medical team will need to look at them but i think they could get patented under your name.”

“Thank you, these medicines would save many lives.”

“No problem, well you better start your shift and start checking up some patients, after that you could meet the rest of the medical team”

“Sounds good i’ll get started right away” Mari said as she open the door with her magic

“Wait Mari, how did you open that door? You’re not a unicorn”

“I'll tell you all about it after i check up on some patients”

Redheart was confused about that ordeal and decided to put it off until Mari’s shift was over.

Mari went from room to room checking on patients, most were surprised to see a new a nurse. Nopony knew that she was a nightmare, to her it didn’t matter if they knew she was or not. It’s not like she has a trail of fire and setting things ablaze, which she totally could do but it would be against her calm nature.

After checking up on the last patient she went to the break room, there were a group of ponies sitting in assorted chairs, drinks in hoof or magically held. When she entered the room most of the ponies welcomed her to her first day and wanted to know more about her.

“So what exactly are you?” Redheart asked

“I would be considered a nightmare pony, i am basically a alicorn except i don’t show a horn and i am not taller”

“What exactly is a nightmare?”

“A nightmare is a  “mythologic” pony that has raw unstable power, nightmares have 3 cores that power the nightmare and feeds its magic and strength. My cores are, lust, heat, and darkness. there are a lot of different cores, there are the basic ones, lust, envy, greed, gluttony, wrath, pride, sloth, heat, cold, darkness, and pain. There are some rare ones that don’t come up often, like my sister has a life core.”

“You have a sister?”

“Yup, she was the older sister, I loved her to death, i’m just sad I had to leave her behind”

“Well we are all sorry for your loss, I hope you get to see her someday”

“No way in hell am i going back to hell, she will have to come to Equestria, it’s kind of a one way trip”

“Oh i see, well I hope you enjoy your stay in Equestria”

After that sentence from Redheart and most of the ponies went back to working or stayed in the break room. Mari decided to try the coffee, it was only 10:00 so she might as well try. When Mari took a sip of the black coffee she thought it was tasteless but still nice, even though it feels cold she can tell it was probably scalding hot. Mari decided to check out the medicine production part of the hospital, which was just around the corner.

When Mari entered the medicine production area there was nopony there, Mari thought this was strange and wandered around, taking stock on what they have, and looking at their medicine recipes. She decided it was best to leave the room and go back to checking up patients on the opposite wing of the hospital.

Mari spent about 4 hours checking on patients and the occasional minor surgeries. She decided it was time to head home and see twilight. When she arrived back home nopony was there. curious she look around the giant tree library. After finding absolutely nothing she decided to read one of twilights books, she grabbed a book on advanced and master spells and enchantments. It was an interesting read to say the least.

A couple hours went by and twilight still didn’t show up so Mari decided to go to the park. As expected, not many ponies where out. Mari laid against one of the trees in the park and dozed the evening away.
