"Beak! Stop it!" barked a mare's voice, which was almost enough to make the poor Gryphon drop the vial that he was already holding rather uncaringly. Beak was of course short for Beaker, which both refrenced the science Gryphon's job, and also, well, he did have a beak. "Come on man, I know this one can't infect you, but do you really wanna drop two of those in one weak?" Asked the mare, as she walked over to him with a little bit of a smirk. "Oh, I know..." Grumbled the Gryphon, as Flask gently took the vial from him- in her magic, which she used to touch everything.

She set it in the cooler where it belonged, then she said, "Good thing we're done for the night then, huh?" As she smiled up at her friend. Beak chuckled, and he gently poked the mare's shoulder, saying, "What, you're not going to stay after because I'm not done with this yet?" Flask sighed, and to make her point, she shut off the Lab's lights as she said, "No, that was one time! Well, a few times, but do you really have to tease me about it?" "Well you still tease me about the time I dropped my sub in the sink" Beak grumbled, but the sound of Flask giggling to herself at the memory of it still made him smile. "Well, g'night then" Beak said, grinning at Flask as they walked out of the lab and closed its doors. Flask locked it, then responded with a "Goodnight to you too... I've got tomorrow off, so I'll be back on friday" She said.

Beak grinned a bit more, saying, "I know~", and he then walked off to head out, towards the elevator (and then the roof) since he always flew home. Flask didn't even bother to ask her friend what he meant as she rolled her eyes, snorted, and headed in the other direction, since she preferred to just walk home.

"All right Kink, in the tub with you" Chirped a mare, who smiled over at the brightly colored Latex Pony, who was being shipped out that night. The mare scrunched up her snout at the sight of the normal-sized one, and she wordlessly pointed a hoof at one of the larger ones to the worker's other side. "Kink, no, they told me that...." She started to say, but she let the words die in her throat as the latex mare's scrunch only increased. The worker was weary- Kink was a stubborn, stubborn mare, and while she did like her, she just wasn't going to have any more arguments. She couldn't help from cracking the slightest of smiles as she pulled over the larger container, and Kink happily stepped into it, already shrinking down as she let herself melt into a liquid.

There was a hiss as she let the air inside of her go, since she would never fit inside something small enough for a mailbox if she had been standing there as solid latex! Before she was fully gone, Kink leaned in and planted a big kiss on the mare's cheek, and that got her to laugh, playfully smacking the mostly-goo latex mare and then smacking the lid onto her case. After a glance around to make sure nopony was watching, she gave the case a little smooch on the side, softly saying "Have fun, you doofus". And then, she set off to get the mare shipped.

Overnight shipping, of course. "Flask" and Kink had already planned out what was going to happen when she got there the next day, after all- she didn't have work, so she'd have the whole day free! And it was going to be a lot of fun.
