Nightmare Nights!

(this story takes place in the future of Mandatory Motherhood.)

Mia straightened a pile of papers on her desk and looked at the time, she had interviewed all the other children except for the oldest. She wondered if the filly would refuse to talk to her, she seemed very hostile towards Mia when she found out her profession. She wondered if she should go look for the filly.

Mia was getting fidgety and her hair almost seemed to deflate until a knock came from the door of her mobile home she immediately perked up and straightened her outfit. “Come in, the door is unlocked.”

The door opened up and a short bundled-up filly marched in, wiped her hooves on the mat, and shut the door behind her. “I’m here, against my wishes. Chris said I wouldn’t get a dinner treat if I didn’t get a shrink treatment from you.”

Mia gasped and before the filly could blink she was spun through the air, her coat and boots off and held up by Mia confusing her while also leaving her slightly terrified that she was instantly undressed. ”She won't let you eat dinner!? Chris has gone too far! That's just cruel!”

The filly looked taken aback at Mia’s anger and felt bad for wording things to be misleading. “Yeah… no… I said dinner treat… you know… dessert?”

Mia Blinked and chuckled setting the little filly down. “Oh, that is different then. It’s a bit harsh but dessert is a luxury. But what do you mean by shrink treatment? Is that what she told you?”

The little filly fluttered her wings and looked down at the floor. “No… it’s just you’re one of those psychiatrist-type doctors and so I thought… yah know?”

Mia chuckled as she hopped behind her desk landing in her chair and spinning around to face the filly. “Oh silly! I didn’t ask to see all the kids for psychiatric treatment… Then again maybe I should see if anyone wants to talk after what you experienced.”

The filly looked up at her in confusion. “What? Then why did you want to see us?”

Mia chuckled and held up a sheet of notes and a sketch of an outfit. “Well you're the oldest so I might as well tell you, but you gotta keep it a secret ok? We are going to hold a little Halloween party and I’m getting notes from all the kids to make costumes for them!”

The filly stared at Mia in disbelief. “You are joking, right? It’s already a month past Halloween” The smiling pegasus shook her head implying no. “Seriously? Well…” The filly thought and looked at her wings and poked her fangs with a hoof. “Then a vampire. I want to be a vampire. I already have the wings and the fangs. An outfit shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Mia frowned. “Really? But you are such a kind girl. And you looked after and protected all the kids after all.”

The filly crossed her hooves in front of her chest. “Yes. So let's keep it simple.”

Mia looked sadly at the papers in front of her and raised her pen with her wing, she was about to start writing before she looked at the filly and suddenly smiled before She started writing on the paper. “Alright then. I’ll have you in for a final fitting a couple of days before the party. I know you will love it.

The filly smiled but not as smugly. “Thank you, Mia. Can I go now?”

Mia nodded. “Of course. But if you ever want I will gladly listen to anything you have to say, all shrink sessions are on the house.”

The filly froze up before shaking her head and started pulling her cold weather gear back on. “I’ll keep that in mind, Mia. uh… thank you.” She waved and left the mobile home.

Mia tapped the paper a few times before she wrote down ‘vampire angel’ on the paper and smiled. “I’m a genius!”
