What in the name of Creation is this....
He was walking around His shop, almost with no purpose, the human, the owner. " well, this is rather boring. " he said to himself.
" You know, not doing anything. "
"well," a voice from nowhere said. " maybe you should put up some ads around the town? " it finished without emotion, almost drone-like. "Perhaps." the human said.
"Hmmm, but there is one problem with that." he said without looking around much. " and what might that be? " the voice asked.
" Well, for one this place is filthy and disgusting. Full of nothing but dust, dirt, and grime, I will need to fix this place up before I can take care of any type of life form. " he finished at last. "well then, you shud get to work then. "
The voice said with just a trace hint of mirth.
" Hmm. I would, but I don't have a broom or anything, ... a bucket would be nice... "
" Did you check the Broom closet? it's about 99.9% of the time in there. "
" Oh ya, True. "
"...... You're not moving..... at all."
" (sigh) I know, I just want to let my leg's settle for a bit, ok? "
" Hmm. I don't see why not. "
12 Minutes Later.
" Ok. I think it's clean now. " the voice that seems to not have a body said with a tone of someone that was imprested.
The entire building was clean. not a single speck of dirt on the ground, not even a live germ in the building, it was spotless. Top to bottom. And the old light's hanging from the ceiling as if they were new, just built, glowing, warm, vibrant light that is resonating from the light scores that are the light bulb's
" Hmmm, definitely done, " he responded. looking away from the broom closet, and instead to the front door. of which was past a set of double of windows. Which are used by a secretary to help assist any moms or dads that wish to drop off their children.
" I only hope that we get some customers soon, " he asked unsure of himself. " Relax, you always get this way, after they start to warm up to you, I am SURE that they will have you as their primary babysitter."
" Your right.... I just get nervous every time we move..... you know, New faces. New... Everything. " he said with some thought.
" True " it answered.
The human then walked to the side door, it leads to the main room. which is used for any parents to either wait or fill out paperwork, the main room is also the entrance and exit to the building.
He proceeded to walk into the main room, he then looked out one of the various windows. what he saw did not surprise him.
" Hmmm ponys this time. " he told the voice.
" As it seems. " it responded.
" so, about those ad's? " he asked. "well, I have most of it down but I may (RING) ~
the voice was interrupted by the sound of the bell on the door ringing.
" Hello? " said the visitor. it was a young pony, at least the age of 6, and at most 9. the young colt walked in, and looked up to the human, and said "Woooooow, You look Really cool!. what are you? " the colt inquired.
"well, " the human responded. " I am a Human, and what may I ask, are you? " he asked the colt with a smile, but he did not really mean the question. As he already knew what he was, the human just asked to confirm what he already knew, as for the smile, that was sincere.
" Oh well, IM A PONY! OF Course!! "
" Hmm, " he said with a small laugh and smile. " well of course you are, well then. what brings you her little one? " he asked.
" We-well, I haven't seen this place before, so I just wanted to check it out, an - an -and, oh, I-I hope I'm not interrupting or anything, " he said with new found embarrassment. as the colt just realized he may have just walked into someone's house he also started to shake a little of said embarrassment, not fear.
"Ahhh " the human said, "Well have no fear young one, as this is the type of store for you, you see, this is a Day and Technically Nightcare Center. And also a part time candy shop, so you and your friends are always welcome here. " he said thinking of something else for only a second. " wha- What! Really! THATS SO COOL! " the colt told the human. starting to calm down.
" Well, thanks. so, would you like to view our selection." The human told the colt. " Of course!. " the young colt responded to the human.
The human Lead the colt to the two glass windows and stuck his hand throw one of the holes at the bottom and pressed a red button just below the window. Suddenly 5 chairs started to move, the floor below them started to rise up, then backing up to where the wall ends. revealing hidden candy dispensers under where the chairs were, then said Candy dispensers started to move upwardly.
" wow " said the colt with surprise. "indeed. Feel free to look around and tell me what you want. and tell me what your favorite one is. " the human said with a grin.
" oh ahh. " the colt said as he started to look at the candy machines where. "Ahhh?" " Oh, " the human said. " I'll help you. "
The human moved one of the chairs to in front of the Candy machine and then patted the top of the chair. " well, you gonna just sit there, or are you gonna hop up?. " the human said questioningly.
" Ummm, ahhh. " the colt looked cautiously at the chair. it was made of something that he has never seen much of before. plastic. "what, is it? " the human responded with a smile on his face. " Well. it's a chair. "
"Ya, but what is it made out of? " the colt asked with a furrowed brow. " oh. its made out of plastic, metal, and cotton. the plastic is why it looks so smooth like that, and the metal is what is supporting the chair, like the legs and apart of the spine of the chair. and the cotton is the soft part of the chair, the parts that are fluffy, here. " he said while patting the main, soft part of the chair. " and here " he said while patting the other soft part of the chair.
" the colt looked at it for a few more seconds, then just looked up at the human. " are you sure its ok for me to sit on? like, I won't exploded or anything. will I? " the colt asked nervously.
the human chuckled at that. " no, you will not explode from it, the worst that could happen from you sitting there is if you were somehow allergic to the cotton, and get a rash, but I doubt that. and even if you where, your fur would most likely protect your skin from the contact. "
The colt blinked at that. " ahh, say again? " " ahh ha ha, " the human chuckled.
" So, Do you want to see if you have immunity to it? " The human asked.
"Ya sure, I guess so. " the colt responded.
Just before the colt could even try to get on the chair. The bell rang again.
With the door open just less than half way, the nose of what the human could tell was a mare, peeked out from the other end.
before walking in fully. to mare called out " sweet tooth? are you in here honey? "
The " sweet tooth " in question, turned out the be the colt in the room this whole time, he responded by saying. "Yes mom, I'm right here!. "
" Interesting " the human muttered as he took a mental note of that colts name and other things that he forgot to do before, he knows that a good babysitter either remembers everything about the child, so of as to better their experience, or just write everything down which has a more or less same effect. The human did a little bit of both.

returning back to reality, The human came back just in time to see the mare gently push open the door to its full length. Seeing her son before seeing the human, she spoke with a gentle, coming yet stern voice
" What do you think you're doing sweet tooth? wandering off like that in the middle of my shopping, you know I get distracted easily! I could have lost you!. " she said softly.
Sweet tooth looked down at his hooves. ears flattened and face a little red. most likely from both embarrassment and being sorry.
" that's not true, " He started. " Even if you lost me. I wouldn't have lost you. " He said while looking up at his mother.
" And besides! " the colt said looking happy. " I was here with this thing. " He said while looking at the human.... at me.
The mother, who at this point has still not noticed the human less than 3 feet from her. Sweet Tooth! don't call someone a thing. that's not nice to say.
" Indeed it's not a nice thing to say, young one, " I started " and I already told you what I am, I am called a human. " I said with a smirk.
The mother then looked in the direction of my voice, roughly where my face was. I had gotten a much better look at her face, and thus, her eyes, at this point I hadn't noticed something. something that made me hurt just a little inside.
....
....
....
....
....
She was blind.
Her eyes were a milky white. though if you could look past that, you could see that her eyes looked as if they use to be a lighter color of gray, Much like her son's eyes.
She spoke to me after I noticed her eye's "you're a flyer?" she asked with curiosity. " Is Human your name? she asked. I replied politely. "no madam, My name is not Human. Human is my species. " I said with respect.
"Hmm. I never heard of a human before, as I asked before, are your species flyers? "
I answer her question again. " No madam, my Species is just taller compared to yours. " I said while kneeling down. " But, I can kneel down a little so of as to be a little even.
" Oh. " she said with a little surprise. evident on her face.
".... We best get out of your main, I simply must get these groceries back to the house. "
I responded. " as you wish, though, if I may ask." I requested. " hmm? what is it? " she asked as if knowing what I was going to ask. oh, how she was wrong.
" Do you have a babysitter for your Child and or Children? "
She looked almost flabbergasted.
" I ahh. Yes, Why? " she asked. " well " I started. " I am starting a babysitting service. And so I could, if you want that is, do some sitting for you. " " I-I will need to think about it. " She said with a flustered face.
With that, she started to leave. " Come along Sweet Tooth. " she said to her son. and with that Sweet tooth shut the door behind him after they left the building.
" ( Sigh ) Wow, what a first day, am I right? " he asked the voice.
" Ya, I know right? Crazy " it responded.
