The start...

The New Foal

Written by Razor Colorado

It was a normal day at the Ponyville School House. It was when Ms. Cheerilee trotted in that made things take a slight turn.

She had brought a colt with her, he was a Pegasus who was slightly different… He was a little shorter than Sweetie Belle. He had a brown coat and magenta eyes, a two-tone blue mane in the style of Rainbow Dash’s and wore round black eyeglasses. And the part that would cause the most discrimination, he was a blank flank…

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon immediately snickered sinisterly. He clearly wasn’t of the same qualities of most of the others, but he still had a character for himself.

“Good morning, everypony!” Ms. Cheerilee said happily as she got to her desk.

“Good morning, Ms. Cheerilee.” The fillies and colts soon replied.

“So, you may be wondering who the new boy is?” Ms. Cheerilee asked brightly. The students nodded in reply and interest. “This is my son, Razor!”

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon snickered again.

“Now, just because he’s a blank flank doesn’t mean ANY discrimination whatsoever will be allowed.” Ms. Cheerilee said in a serious voice. The young colt blushed lightly.

“The first day is always the hardest, but I will make it work!” Razor spoke his first words in class cheerfully.

“Very good!” Ms. Cheerilee said. “You may take any available seat.”

He chose the free seat next to Diamond Tiara, just for her to pass him a note… “I do not cheat!” Razor said seriously. “I run my studies fairly on a regular basis!”

“Diamond Tiara!” Ms. Cheerilee scolded from the back of her desk. “What did I just say about discrimination and differences?”

The filly gave a somewhat nervous sigh. “Fine…” She put the note away, just knowing she’d soon get an opportunity to make Razor feel unwelcome…

The end of school soon arrived. Razor immediately made his way home to study, but when who should possibly stop him, but Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon…

“Well, well, well… Just look how ironic the new colt is!” Silver Spoon said in an insulting voice, examining him by the side. “And what, might you be interested in?”

“I am in the honors level of math and science, two grades higher than most others of my age range!” He said in an intelligent voice. “I’m about seven and two thirds years of age!” Applebloom was watching him from a safe distance, wanting to hold the two fillies back.

“Oh, really?” Diamond Tiara said in a questioning voice. “What is the average grade for your age group?”

“B+ here, A- in Manehattan!” He said.

“And how do you know this?” Silver Spoon asked in reply.

“I once went to school in Manehattan!” Razor said, more than happy to explain.

“Uh, huh… I guess I’ll see you around tomorrow.” Diamond Tiara said, walking with Silver Spoon to Diamond’s house.

“Bye!” Razor said, then continued on home.

First Friend

“Razor, are you available?” Ms. Cheerilee asked.

“Yes.” He said in reply.

Ms. Cheerilee opened the door with a guest, Sweetie Belle. “Hi, Razor! I’m Sweetie Belle!” The filly said.

“Hi, Sweetie Belle! Weren’t you a classmate?” He asked in reply.

“Sure as sugar am!” She said with her usual voice scratch. “I got you a welcome gift!”

“A welcome gift? Nopony’s ever been that nice to me before, thanks!” He picked it up after Sweetie Belle used her newly-learned levitation magic to bring it to him.

“Open it!” She said.

Razor opened the box and reached inside, then pulled out a dark blue sweater with snowflakes on it. “This is amazing! How did you know I love the snow?”

“I had a feeling since you were humming Hearths Warming songs!” She replied, again with her usual voice scratch. “I taught myself how to stitch and use levitation magic just for you!”

“Aww, I love it! Thanks so much!” He said, folding it to be worn tomorrow. “It was supposed to be REALLY cold tomorrow anyway!”

“It’s nothing!” Sweetie Belle replied. “Oh, sorry, I have to go. Rarity needed me to help her with a new dress.”

“Okay, bye!” Razor said, sad to see her go so soon.

“Bye!” Sweetie Belle said, going downstairs to the front door.

Several hours had passed and Razor yawned in exhaustion. He turned on his Plasma Dolphin lamp and got under his covers. He soon fell asleep…

A Visit With The Doctor

The next day arrived, but it was a weekend. He had an appointment with the hospital to get his blood tested and medication. It was to help him maintain a healthy blood stream with his slightly undersized body.

As a general rule, Razor HATED needles, but it never hurts as bad as he remembers, he always says.

“Razor, it’s that time of the year again.” Ms. Cheerilee said into his room several minutes after he woke up.

He sighed. “I know… Let me just get the sweater…” He went to walk over to get his sweater, then put it on.

“Don’t worry. We have a friend to come!” Ms. Cheerilee smiled and Sweetie Belle popped into the room.

“Hi, Razor!” She said with the voice scratch.

“Oh, hi Sweetie Belle!” He said surprised. They walked out the front door. “I know you wanted to, but why are you coming with me?”

“Well, Ms. Cheerilee said you were afraid of needles, so she asked me to come to help you!” She said, smiling afterwards.

“Oh, okay…” He said with a light blush.

They soon made it to the hospital. “Nurse Redheart, it’s that time of year again…” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“Of course, Razor!” She said. “Don’t worry, it’s going to be fine!”

“Can Sweetie Belle come with me?” Razor asked, again, with a light blush.

“Of course!” The nurse replied with a smile, knowing the colt was worried.

They sat in the waiting room, knowing it wasn’t much longer.

Only four minutes had passed before the word came out: “Razor.” Said Nurse Redheart.

Him and Sweetie Belle walked into the back room, where the nurse had a syringe and seven vials needing to be filled. They were all wide ones that take longer to fill. She put one into the syringe and on came the question “Ready?” The nurse asked.

With Sweetie Bell holding his hoof, he replied. “Ready…”

“It’s okay, when she puts the needle in, just close your eyes and take deep breaths.” Sweetie Belle said. “I do it all the time and it makes the pain go away!”

The nurse put the syringe carefully into his arm then waited for the first vial to fill up.

Razor closed his eyes tight, breathing deeply. “Okay… Just remember what Sweetie Belle said…” And he continued breathing.

The first vial soon filled up, then the second one replaced it, then the third one.

That’s when Sweetie Belle spoke. “It’s alright, you’re doing great!”

Soon, all seven vials were filled, the nurse then put a bandage on the cut and then brought him to the regular doctor’s office, but it appears his check-up was overdue, which meant some embarrassing tests would have to be performed.

He blushed and said. “Sweetie Belle, would you mind sitting this one out?”

“Okay.” She said and went back to the waiting room with Ms. Cheerilee, who was soon joined by Rarity.

“Oh, Sweetie Belle! Glad Ms. Cheerilee was able to tell me you were going here!” Rarity said. “It’s time for your flu-shot, too” She said, because winter was coming on fast.

“Okay.” Sweetie Belle said, sad that she might miss Razor.

Rarity walked Sweetie Belle to the desk, when she was called back before she even got back to her seat.

It was only two minutes until Sweetie Belle and Rarity got back, but Razor was another story. He has finished his check-up and it was time for the shots.

“It’s okay.” Nurse Redheart said, pulling out two syringes.

The young colt sighed and pulled up his sweater sleeve. “Ready…”

The nurse injected the dose of medication and put a bandage over the spot the needles were in. “You did fine.” She said, and started walking him back out to Ms. Cheerilee.

When they got out, Razor went right back to Sweetie Belle. “Sorry it took so long.” Razor said.

“It’s okay.” Sweetie Belle replied. “There’s always that one thing that we forget that we have to do!”

The two chatted for a few minutes, then Razor had to leave. “Sorry, Sweetie Belle, I have to go. Bye…”

“Bye” She said.

Rarity lowered her head to Sweetie Belle’s ear. “Is it you have a crush on him, you’re sad to see him go?”

“N-n-no!” She said nervously.

A Rainy Day

The next day arrived. It was a stormy day, so Razor had to stay inside.

That’s when Sweetie Belle showed up with Rarity. “May we come in?” Rarity asked politely.

“Sure!” Ms. Cheerilee said happily. “He’s upstairs in his room, second door to the right.”

“Thank you!” Sweetie Belle replied and went upstairs.

Rarity sat down with Ms. Cheerilee. “Have you noticed those two getting along well lately?”

“Yes, I have! It’s really nice seeing that!” Ms. Cheerilee replied gleefully.

Razor was in his room, listening to his CD’s. When Sweetie Belle came in, it was on “Dogfight” by M.O.V.E. It was a song in Japanese that originated on one of his favorite shows, Initial D.

“Hi, Razor!” Sweetie Belle said, glad to see him.

Razor paused his music. “Hi Sweetie Belle!” He then got out of his bed and smiled.

Sweetie Belle walked up to him. “How are you doing?”

“I’m fine, you?” He replied happily.

“I’m doing well!” She smiled. “What are you doing?”

“I’m working on a house, mom said I could be an architect!”

“Wow, really?”

“Yeah! It’s a three story modern.”

“Really? That’s a big house!”

“Yes, it even has a pool and hot tub!”

“Amazing!”

Meanwhile downstairs, Rarity and Ms. Cheerilee were talking as well.

“I think Sweetie Belle has a bit of a crush on your son!” Rarity said.

“Oh, stop! He’s nice and all, but a crush? That’s silly!” Ms. Cheerilee replied and chuckled.

“Oh, but I believe it’s true! She was rather sad to see Razor leave the doctors yesterday.”

“Oh, come on! He’s into Hot Wheels and Legos!”

“That’s typical for a colt with Asperger’s Syndrome and OCD!”

“Is it really?”

“Yes, there is a convention that meets every year in Canterlot! It’s called BrickFair and thousands of ponies from all across Equestria go to it every year! Young fillies and colts to fully grown mares and stallions go to enter to show and view!”

“Wow, how come I never heard of this? Razor would love that! He has a three story house that he could enter!”

“Oh, that is PERFECT!”

“Yeah, the roof and floors separate to show all the different rooms and furnishings!”

“And he’s none more than almost eight?”

“I know, he’s really creative, right?”

“Oh, absolutely!”

“He even made a Lego 1:24 scale Covelight!”

“A Covelight?”

“Yes, it’s a car from Hot Wheels AcceleRacers on the team, “The Silencerz”! They are sneaky as Changelings, those pests! They can make their car look like any other on any team, like Changelings do with ponies!”

“A “car”, you say?”

“Yes, it’s a very rare method of transportation that’s known here as the Motorized Carriage!”

“You mean like the Flim Flam brothers?”

“Yes! But a little more complicated.”

Sweetie Belle and Razor were still talking.

“So what’s this?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“That is like a plasma ball, but in the shape of a leaping dolphin!” He answered gladly.

“It’s so cool!”

“Touch it!”

Sweetie Belle put the tip of her hoof on it and moved it around a little. “Wow! It follows my hoof!”

“It’s a common thing for plasma flows in a contained space.”

Sweetie Belle took her hoof off of it then sat next to Razor on his bed.

Four hours passed, but it only felt like one.

“Sweetie Belle?” Rarity called up the stairs. “It’s time for your piano lesson!”

“Okay.” Sweetie Belle replied. “I’m sorry Razor, I have to go…”

“Okay, bye Sweetie Belle…” He said as the filly walked out the door.

Sweetie Belle sighed as she walked down the stairs.

Rarity got her yellow umbrella and opened it as she walked Sweetie Belle out the door. “Thanks for having us over, Ms. Cheerilee!” Rarity said.

“My pleasure!” She replied and closed the door behind them, then she walked upstairs to see how Razor was doing. “Razor?” She called.

“Yes, mom?” He replied, a little bit of sadness in his voice.

“Oh, what’s wrong, hun?” She asked as she sat on the bed with him.

“N- nothing!!” Razor said, slightly worried.

“It’s alright, you can tell me.”

“It’s nothing…”

“Oh, don’t be like that, it’s not normal for you.”

“I just wanna be alone…”

“Okay, just let me know if you want to talk about it.” She said as she got off the bed and walked through the doorway.

“Alright…” He got under the covers then changed the track to Night of Fire, turning the volume down.

Ms. Cheerilee went downstairs and looked at her son’s 1:24 scale Covelight.

Razor soon fell asleep as it entered eight at night. Ms. Cheerilee went to go check on him then turned off his radio. She kissed him on the forehead and went to bed.

The Beginning of a Diasaster

The next day, Razor didn’t wake up until noon, keeping Sweetie Belle waiting.

The colt yawned and Sweetie Belle entered the room.

“Hi Razor.” She said.

“Hello, Sweetie Belle” He replied

Sweetie Belle gave Razor a get well card, it had a drawing of Covelight inside of it. “Hope you feel better.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Oh, it’s amazing!” He said.

The filly blushed in the slightest manner. “Aww, thanks!”

Ms. Cheerilee entered the room. “Good morni- Ahem, I mean afternoon!” She said. “Wow, you’re quite the sleepyhead.”

“Hi Ms. Cheerilee!” Sweetie Belle said happily.

“Oh, hello Sweetie Belle, didn’t notice you there!” Ms. Cheerilee said when she noticed her.

That’s when the nurse came in. “I need everypony out of the room, instantly!” She exclaimed. “No visitors until further notice!”

The two burst out in confusion until the nurse had to escort them out.

All Hell was about to break loose in the room.

Two doctors came in less than ten seconds later.

“What in the world is going on?!” Razor asked, scared pale.

It had been just then, a further issue has come from the results.

The doctor to the right explained. “Not only has the flu caused the normal symptoms, but the severe case had also caused lung damage!”

Then the colt pulled his hooves to his chest in mere horror. “What do you mean?” He said, paling further.

The two doctors ordered him out of bed, then escorted him to a room in the back. “It means, you have something worse than the flu, and you need surgery!” The one on the left explained.

The colt gulped, scared for his life.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be alright!” The nurse said.

The doctors lay him on an operation table, then they brought in a Nitrous Oxide breathing machine with a face mask.

“Wh- what’s that for?” The colt asked, shaking in fear.

"This will make sure you don’t feel any pain during the operation.” A doctor said.

The colt gulped and the put they mask on, then turned on the machine. The nitrous oxide made him pass out, then the surgery began…

The Survival

Miraculously, the colt slept to the early daylight. He woke up around six-thirty, completely forgetful of the breathing tube. He panicked slightly until he remembered.

Two nurses burst into the room, with sedatives. When they saw him stable again, they only gave him one, just to make him sleep until nine.

He fell asleep just minutes later, then woke up at about nine-ten.

Ms. Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle came into the room, going to the sides of his bed.

Sweetie Belle held his hoof, shedding a tear of relief, along with his mother.

“Oh, Razor! We’re so glad you survived!” Sweetie Belle said.

His mother gave him his sentimental plushie. It was a Lil’ Kinz Googles with reversed fur he called Ducky. “I knew he would comfort you.” She said.

Razor picked him up and lay him by his head.

“Oh my, I need to go fill out some more paperwork for your school, I’m so sorry Razor, I have to go.” Ms. Cheerilee went home to fill out the rest of the paperwork.

Sweetie Belle stayed and talked with Razor for the next half hour, he tried to smile with the tube a couple times.

“I’m sorry Razor, I have to go…” Sweetie Belle said.

Razor frowned slightly under the mask.

“Bye…” Sweetie Belle said, sadly. She walked out the door.

Night fell before anypony even knew. Again, Razor was feeling restless. Nurse Redheart was forced to give him another sedative. He fell asleep seconds later…

An Exciting Day

When he woke up he could smell pancakes being made.

He decided to stay in bed for a few more minutes. That’s when he heard the doorbell ring.

Ms. Cheerilee went to open the door. “Hi! So glad you could make it!”

“Anything for my Sweetie Belle!” Rarity said.

“Should I go wake Razor?” Sweetie Belle whispered.

“Sure, I’m certain he’d be delighted to see you!” Ms. Cheerilee replied.

Sweetie Belle chuckled and snuck upstairs.

Razor was in a light sleep again.

Sweetie Belle snuck into Razor’s room and got to the side of his bed. “Razor?”

He started to wake up.

“Looks like I’ll need to go further!” She tickled under his wings.

He laughed. “Hahaha! No, stop!” He woke up and she stopped. “Oh, hi Sweetie Belle!” He said.

“Get up sleepyhead!” She said. “It’s time for breakfast.”

“Okay!” He got out of his bed and went downstairs with Sweetie Belle.

When they got down Ms. Cheerilee and Rarity were sitting at the table.

“Good morning.” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“Good morning mom.” Razor replied, then sat down next to Sweetie Belle.

The four started eating, and were soon full.

Rarity got up and washed the syrup off of herself. “What have you got for us today?” She asked.

“Well first we’re going to Canterlot to see some of the attractions.” She said. “Then I have a hotel booked for us in Manehattan!”

Razor and Sweetie Belle jumped out of their chairs in excitement.

“We’re going to Canterlot and Manehattan?!” Sweetie Belle asked with her voice scratch getting the best of her.

“Why, yes! It’s a four star with two indoor pools!” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“And it’s connected rooms, right?” Razor asked.

“Of course!” His mother replied then ruffled his mane.

“Oh, that is simply perfect!” Rarity said.

“Well, we need to get packing. And the Manehattan Brochure said, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to see one of those motorized carriages!”

“I MUST see one of THOSE, darlings!” Rarity said, rearing up in excitement. “What kind is it? A Porsche? A DeLorean? What about an Aston Martin?” She asked eagerly. “I simply ADORE the One-77! Its name CLEARLY states that it’s beauty and power in one, with only 77 made!”

“All of the above and many more are possible!” Ms. Cheerilee replied, with some excitement herself.

“What about Covelight? O- or Reverb?” Razor asked.

“Or maybe a Bugatti Veyron!” Sweetie Belle followed.

“Maybe.” Ms. Cheerilee said “But we really need to start packing.”

“Okay, we’ll meet you at the train station in an hour?” Rarity asked.

“Perfect! We’ll see you there. Bye!”

“Goodbye, and see you there!” Rarity said as she and Sweetie Belle walked out the door.

“Let’s get ready.” Ms. Cheerilee said, then the two got packing.

A Train Ride

When they got to the train station, Rarity and Sweetie Belle were already there.

“Ah, they’re here!” Rarity said.

“Hi there.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Hello!” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“Hi!” Razor followed.

The whistle of the train went off. It wasn’t all that crowded, nor was the station. Around ten other ponies at the most.

“Oh! It’s here.” Rarity said.

The four grabbed their luggage and got on the train when it stopped.

They had their own car since Rarity was a trusted friend of the princesses.

“Wow!” Razor and Sweetie Belle both said.

They got situated and waited until they reached Canterlot.

The Beginning Of A Good Time

The next day broke out and the four woke up.

Rarity put on her fedora and the four met in Ms. Cheerilee’s room.

“So, what are we doing today? Rarity asked.

“Well, first, we’re going to the Lego Store! It’s three stories tall!” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“Yeah, and sometimes they have retired products!” Razor said in addition.

“Alright, we should be making our way then!” Rarity said.

The four went on and halfway there, something unusual happened.

“Look! Over there!” Razor exclaimed and pointed.

The other three looked to the location, then there was a carriage, a motorized carriage.

“That’s a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban!” He said.

The four looked at it until it turned away.

When they got to the Lego store, it was filled with thousands of City and Creator sets, which was the main attraction for the store.

“You may each get one set.” Ms. Cheerilee said.

Razor immediately settled on the retired set, the Lego City Small Car.

Sweetie Belle looked at some of the City sets, then picked out the new Fire Chief car.

They checked out then went back to the hotel.

“I’m feeling in the mood for a dip in the pool” Rarity said.

“Me too.” Ms. Cheerilee replied.

They all got on their swimsuits and went to the first floor. The pool was a simple one, five feet deep at the lowest point.

When they got in, it was only them. They put their towels on the chairs and went in.

“No going deeper than three feet, you two!” Rarity said.

“Okay!” Sweetie Belle said.

Sweetie Belle and Razor stopped at 2.5 feet. They looked up and there was a star simulator.

“Wow!” Razor said in fascination.

“It looks just like the night in a certain spot.” Sweetie Belle replied. “See?” She pointed and Razor looked towards that spot.

“It does!” He said.

About a half an hour passed and Rarity and Ms. Cheerilee were in the hot tub.

“So…” Rarity started. “What do you think of Sweetie Belle and Razor’s close friendship?”

“Oh, that is amazing!” Ms. Cheerilee replied.

“I bet nothing would break them apart!”

“I bet you’re right!”

Sweetie Belle and Razor started playfully splashing at each other, then laughed when the stopped.

They were at the pool for forty minutes.

“Razor, Sweetie Belle!” Ms. Cheerilee called. “It’s time to get back to our rooms!”

“Okay!” The both said at the same time, then got out of the pool.

They went upstairs to their rooms and dried off, then got changed.

Set To Roll

Chapter 17: Set to Roll

The next day rose and the four woke up, Razor was especially excited because of the auto show!

“Today! It’s time! We can see the concepts and the classics!” Razor shouted out.

Ms. Cheerilee rubbed her eyes. “I know, silly! Don’t get too excited.” Ms. Cheerilee replied, just woken up. She then went to go make breakfast.

Both of their rooms had waffle mix and bakers. They made some then ate until they felt they had enough.

The four met in the lobby and got their tickets from the check in-out desk.

“We’re going to see the cars of yesterday, today, and tomorrow!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

Sweetie and Razor jumped around in excitement.

“Okay, calm down you two!” Ms. Cheerilee said.

They made their way to it and that’s where they turned in their tickets. When they got in, right there at the entrance was a 1948 Plymouth Roadmaster.

“That’s a real classic!” Razor excitedly ran to the ropes and used his wings to hover to get a better view.

Sweetie Belle followed.

“Okay! Calm down!” Rarity demanded.

“Sorry.” Razor said, then stopped hovering.

They walked around, then Razor saw his dream. It was a whole section of AcceleRacers vehicles. There was from the Teku, Synkro, Reverb and Battle Spec. From the Metal Maniacs, there was Jack Hammer, Rivited and Rollin’ Thunder. From the Racing Drones, RD-02, RD-06 and RD-08. From the Silencerz was Covelight, Nitrium and Iridium.

Razor lost his mind like a shaken bottle of coke loses its cap. He immediately went over to the Teku, then the Racing Drones, then The Silencerz, and finally the Metal Maniacs.  “This is the best thing I’ve ever seen! Some of the most legendary cars ever!”

“Razor! Hold on!” Ms. Cheerilee followed him. “I know you’re excited, but this is a little over the top!”

“Sorry, they’re just so accurate!”

Rarity and Sweetie Belle looked at the cars, then joined the two. “Wow, Razor! I never knew you liked the movies this much!” Sweetie said excitedly.

They went to look at some more, there was the DeLorean Time Machine, a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray, and even a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. They were there all seven hours from ten in the morning to five in the afternoon, then they had to get back to the hotel.

“Wow, Razor! I knew you know a lot about cars, but not this much!” Rarity exclaimed.

“Trust me, he can even tell a Reva Gee-Wiz when he sees one!” Ms. Cheerilee replied.

“Wow, really?” Rarity asked.

“Of course!” Ms. Cheerilee answered.

“Mom, can we go to the pool?” Razor asked.

“Well, what do you two think?” Ms. Cheerilee asked Rarity and Sweetie Belle.

They both nodded.

“Okay, we can go.” Ms. Cheerilee told her son.

Sweetie Belle and Razor smiled at each other then they got to their rooms and got changed.

They went to the pool and put their towels on the chairs of their choice. Again, it was just them.

“Well, it’s never all that busy in here.” Ms. Cheerilee told Rarity.

“Agreed!” Rarity replied.

Ms. Cheerilee and Rarity went into the hot tub and started chatting.

“I still think what I said is true.” Rarity said to Ms. Cheerilee.

“Oh, come on! He’s too much of one of his own to be admired!”

“But that’s what makes one their self!”

“True…”

“I still can’t believe you don’t understand what I’m saying!”

“Well… It’s just… He’s an individual in personality.”

“Everypony is!”

“I…”

“Just accept it! Sweetie Belle might have a crush on Razor!”

In the pool, Razor and Sweetie Belle were playing.

“I can sense something coming up…” Sweetie Belle said.

“What is it?” Razor asked.

“This!” She playfully splashed him, then they started playing.

They were there for two hours.

“Razor, Sweetie Belle!” Rarity called.

“Don’t worry.” Razor said, then he and Sweetie Belle got out of the pool and went to their rooms.

They got dried off and changed, then went to get dinner. It was at the restaurant in the hotel.

“Hmm, seems interesting!” Rarity judged by the scent and menu. “I think it would be good!”

“Agreed.” Sweetie Belle and Razor said at the same time.

Ms. Cheerilee went to go order a table. “Um, four please.” She said kindly.

“Of course!” The stallion said, he was tan with a brown mane and an hourglass as a cutie mark. He got them a table and sat them down. “I am going to be your waited today. Could I start you off with a drink?”

They all had the same favorite, and agreed on Dr. Pepper.

“Alright, now I’ll give you a few minutes to decide on what to eat.” He went to get the drinks.

The four looked at the menu.

When he returned, they had their choices.

When he asked, Ms. Cheerilee was the first to reply. “I would like to get a basic fruit salad.”

Rarity spoke. “I would like the veggie salad, and the little ones would both like pancakes.”

“Okay, I’ll have those right out to you.” He said, then went back to the kitchen.

“So… Sweetie Belle.” Rarity started. “Do you have a crush on Razor?” She said quietly.

“Rarity!!” Sweetie Belle snapped, again with her voice scratch. “Why would you be asking me that here?!”

“You’re right, I’m sorry.” Rarity said.

“It’s okay…” Sweetie Belle said in her cute voice.

Their food soon got to the table.

“Alright, a fruit salad for you, a veggie salad four you and pancakes for the little ones!” The waiter said as he gave them their food. “I’ll be checking in on you from time to time.” He went to fill the next order.

The restaurant soon started playing Riders On The Storm, and Razor was enjoying it. “This is one of my favorite songs!” He said when he finished his latest bite.

They all finished eating and payed, then went back to the hotel.

“Well, that was another nice day!” Rarity said, exhausted.

Razor yawned and nodded. “Especially when we saw that Echo with the BrickFair badge!”

“Yes, that was cool, but we need to get to bed now.” Ms. Cheerilee said. “Good night Sweetie Belle, good night Rarity.”

“Good night…” The two sisters said, then went into their room.

Ms. Cheerilee and Razor went into their room.

Razor went to the bathroom and Ms. Cheerilee got the sedative. When he got out he went right to the chair for his shot. “Ready…” He said.

“Okay.” Ms. Cheerilee replied, then gave him his dose. “You go to bed now.”

Razor got under his covers and went to sleep.

Ms. Cheerilee soon did the same…

A Creative Mind

When he arrived, his Legos were on the table in his room where he left them. He got to work and studied, then started making a house, he even had corner roof slopes in rare colors.

About ten minutes later, Ms. Cheerilee got home. “Razor, I’m back!” She said happily.

Razor went downstairs and greeted her. “Hi, mom!” He replied happily.

“How was your first day?” She asked in reply.

“It was good, but two of the fillies didn’t really like me, I guess…”

“Ugh, those two… Always causing trouble for the blank flanks… But don’t worry, being a blank flank means you could be good at anything!”

“Really?”

“Of Course!”

“Cool! I’m working on a Lego house right now, too!”

“Oh, you could be an architect! Can I see it?”

“Absolutely, but it’s on six baseplates, you’re going to have to come to my room.” He said and started leading the way.

“Okay.” She followed.

When they got into the room, there was a three-story house made from teal Legos, it had three outside doors and a big back yard.

“Wow!” Ms. Cheerilee said in amazement. “I know you’ve collected a lot of pieces, but not this many! This is amazing!”

“Thanks! It took me a long time, but it’s finally finished!” He said gleefully.

“And look, the dark blue roof! Where’d you get the pieces” She asked.

“I collected them from Pick A Brick!”

“Oh, silly me! Well, I’m going to fill out some paperwork for your entrance into the school.”

“Okay, bye mom!” He said, waving.

About two hours have passed, that’s when things liven up again.

The Big Turn

When Ms. Cheerilee went to go check on her son the next day, he wasn’t feeling well.

“Oh my, what’s going on?” She asked worryingly. “Are you alright?”

“I… I don’t know…” He replied, holding onto his stomach almost if he were about to throw up.

“I need to get you to the doctor!” She said in a serious voice.

It wasn’t raining, but it was cold. Razor decided not to wear the sweater Sweetie Belle made for him because he didn’t want to get it contaminated.

Ms. Cheerilee got her umbrella just in case and walked Razor to the doctor’s office.

She signed him in for an appointment and his name was soon called.

“So, what seems to be the problem?” Nurse Redheart asked.

“Well, I haven’t been feeling well since this morning, and it just seems to get worse…” He said then coughed.

“Okay, I’m going to need to get a saliva and urine sample from you.” She got a cotton swab and gave him a small cup.

The colt blushed lightly. “If I could do the saliva sample first…”

“Of course!” She picked up the cotton swab. “Now, say “Aahhh”.

The colt did so, then the nurse tapped the cotton swab to the back of his throat.

“Very nicely done!” The nurse said. “Now, the bathroom is right across the hall.” She pointed.

The colt blushed again and took the cup to the bathroom. Several minutes passed including a thorough washing, and he came out and gave it to the nurse.

“Thank you.” She said, then put the samples on a tray. “Now, just sit here. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” She said picking up the tray, then walked to the testing room.

The colt sat down and waited for the results to be determined.

The nurse returned with Ms. Cheerilee.

Ms. Cheerilee held his hoof.

“Well, it appears you have the flu…” Nurse Redheart said. “You’re going to need to stay here and let it go away.”

“I’m sorry…” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“What do you mean,” He sneezed, then continued his sentence. “stay here?”

“You’re going to have to stay at the hospital.” Ms. Cheerilee clarified, sniffling.

“It’s a really bad case, but it will go away!” Nurse Redheart said, booking him a room.

“Only if it’s needed…” He said, a tear rolling down his cheek. “Can Sweetie Belle visit?” He asked.

“If you want her to.” The nurse said.

“Okay…” He said, sniffling.

A doctor came and brought him to his room, where he was put in bed.

Ms. Cheerilee followed. “Will he be alright?” She asked nervously.

“He’s going to be perfectly fine.” The doctor said. “But it may take up to three weeks, depending on his conditions.”

Ms. Cheerilee looked down on him, worried. “Don’t worry, Razor, you’ll be fine! I promise.”

Razor put his head on his pillow.

Ms. Cheerilee was asked to leave for sanitary reasons. “Okay, Razor. I’ll see you tomorrow!” She kissed his forehead and went home.

Night fell and Razor was getting tired. He yawned and went to sleep.

A Real Nightmare

When Razor woke up, nopony was in the room. All he could hear was the beeping of a pulse meter. Then he noticed there was a face mask covering his nose and mouth connected to a breathing machine, and a breathing tube in his throat. He then put his head on the pillow and closed his eyes, tears welling up, wondering if he would ever see Sweetie Belle or his mother again…

Thought started racing through his mind. “What will happen if mom or Sweetie Belle catches this?”… “Will I live through this?”... All he could do was think. He started thinking negatively; “Damn it all… I’m going to die…”. He started crying.

Then he heard the voices of two mares…

The deeper voice spoke. “Is he going to be alright?”

Then the higher voice. “We’re not sure. The damage is very serious.”

“You can’t be saying he might-, oh no!” The deeper voice started crying.

“It’s most likely… I’m sorry…”

“He can’t!” The deeper voice sniffled. “He’s far too young!”

“We’re doing everything we can!” The higher voice said. “I need to go now… You can visit him if you want.” She left.

The deeper voice sobbed for a few more minutes, then walked into the room, trying to hold in her tears. The mare was Ms. Cheerilee.

Razor stopped crying, but his eyes were still swelling up with tears.

“It’s okay.” Ms. Cherilee said. “Mommy’s here.” She sniffled, knowing her son wanted to speak, but couldn’t.

A tear fell from his eye and down his cheek.

“Don’t worry, I’m going to make sure you’ll be fine…” She started crying lightly. She spent the next two hours comforting him.

“It’s bed time, Ms. Cheerilee, you need to go now.” A nurse said.

“Don’t worry, you’re going to be fine.” Ms. Cheerilee kissed her sons forehead and went home.

The nurse stopped her to let her know something. “If he lives to tomorrow, he will survive.”

“Okay.” His mother replied, then left.

Only thirty minutes have passed, Razor was restless. The nurse was forced to give him a sedative.

The colt fell asleep minutes later…

A Peaceful Night

Two weeks had passed since the first results, Razor was ready to be released from the hospital.

“Thank you so much for taking care of him!” Ms. Cheerilee said gracefully.

“No problem at all.” Nurse Redheart replied. “You may go now.”

“Again, thank you!” Ms. Cheerilee said, walking Razor out the front door.

Sweetie Belle and Rarity were waiting just outside.

“Hello.” Rarity said.

“Hi Razor, hi Ms. Cheerilee!” Sweetie Belle followed.

Razor smiled and him and Sweetie Belle hugged each other.

“Hello!” Ms. Cheerilee said as the two young ones pulled apart.

“How are you two?” Rarity asked.

“We’re perfectly fine.” Ms. Cheerilee said.

Her son nodded. “You have no idea how happy I am to see you all again!”

“Nice to see you too!” Sweetie Belle said.

“We could walk you home.” Rarity said.

“I don’t see why not!” Ms. Cheerilee said.

Razor smiled and nodded in agreement.

Sweetie Belle smiled back.

The four ponies started walking with each other.

“So Razor,” Rarity started. “what do you find interesting or enjoyable?”

“Ooh! First, there’s Hot Wheels, AcceleRacers to be precise. Then there’s Initial D, a Japanese drift racing show. And Legos!”

“Do you have anything you like to wear?” She asked.

“Well, the sweater Sweetie Belle made me is amazing!” He answered.

Sweetie Belle blushed lightly.

“And what might you do in your free time?” Rarity asked another question.

“I listen to my CDs and build concepts with my Legos!” He replied. “Right now I’m working on the Ponyville School House!”

Ten minutes passed, they had reached Ms. Cheerilee’s house.

“Bye Razor, by Ms. Cheerilee!” Rarity said.

“Take it easy, Razor.” Sweetie Belle said, waving.

“Bye.” Ms. Cheerilee said.

Her son waved.

When they got in the house, Ms. Cheerilee got her son a glass of water. “Drink this, it should help your throat feel better.”

Razor slowly took it down, then went to work on his Bassline. He was most of the way done, he just needed to do the hood decals.

“Razor?” Ms. Cheerilee called upstairs.

“Yes, mom?” He called back.

“It’s time for your sleeping medicine.”

“Okay, I’ll be down in a minute.” He went to the bathroom and washed regularly.

“Razor?” She called again.

“Coming!” He said as he got to the staircase.

“There you are!” She smiled. “Now, just calm down.” She picked up a prescription sedative syringe.

The colt took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “I’m ready.” He said.

“Okay.” She carefully put the needle in his forearm and injected the dose. “Alright, you go to bed now.”

“Okay, mom.” He said as he got to the stairs. “Good night.”

“Good night, Razor!” His mother replied.

He went upstairs and into his room. He then turned on his Plasma Dolphin and set his sound maker to beach, then he got under the covers and went to sleep.

A Round In Canterlot

“We’re here!!” Sweetie Belle said excitedly.

The four got off the train then put their luggage on watch at the train station.

“Wow!” Ms. Cheerilee said. “It’s much bigger than I imagined!”

Sweetie Belle looked around. “It is!”

It started to flurry.

Sweetie Belle and Razor laughed playfully as the snow soon got stronger and covered the ground.

They looked at the attractions and got back to the train station. They got their luggage and waited for the next train to Manehattan.

The train arrived, again, they had their own car.

They got on and got situated.

The Arrival

Several hours later, the train arrived at Manehattan.

It was late so the four got their luggage and checked in.

“I’m exhausted…” Razor said.

“Let’s get to bed now.” Ms. Cheerilee said.

“Good night…” Rarity said and they got to their rooms.

When Ms. Cheerilee and Razor got it, it was time for the medication.

“Razor, it’s that time.” She said, getting the sedative.

“Okay…” He said then yawned. “Just a second…” He went to the bathroom and washed. He soon came out. “Ready…”

“Okay.” Ms. Cheerilee said, pushing the needle into his arm, then injecting the single dose. She then pulled the needle out and spoke again. “Now, go to bed…”

“Okay mom.” He went to the left bed and got under the covers. He fell asleep minutes later.

For Sweetie Belle, it was another story.

Around midnight, she was shifting restlessly in her bed. She whimpered in fear.

“Sweetie Belle, what’s the matter?” Rarity asked

“I had a horrible nightmare…” She said, shaking.

“What about?” Rarity asked.

“It was about when Razor was sick with the flu…” She replied.

“What happened?” Said Rarity.

“He… He…”

“He what?”

“He passed under the effects of the illness…”

“Oh, my, that is horrible!” She said. “But it was only a dream. Everything is fine.”

Rarity sat comforting her until her sister fell asleep. “Now, for some rest myself.” She said, yawning. She got into bed and put on her blindfold. She fell asleep.

A Big Surprise

Not only was there a big Lego store, there was the only Auto Show in Equestria!

“Mom!” Razor called.

“Yes?” She replied.

Razor ran up to her. “There’s an Auto Show tomorrow!”

“An Auto Show?”

“Yeah! It’s where manufacturers from all over the world come to show off what might be their next cars! There are also Bentleys, Aston Martins and Lamborghinis!”

Rarity walked through the door. “What is all that racket?”

“There’s a car show near here tomorrow!” Razor said.

Rarity gasped. “You’re lying to me now!”

“No he’s not!” Sweetie Belle said, walking next to Rarity.

The four talked for the rest of the day, the Rarity and Sweetie Belle went back to their rooms and went to bed.

“Okay Razor.” Ms. Cheerilee said as she got the sedative.

“Okay…” He said, then went over to takes his shot.

Ms. Cheerilee put the needle into his arm and injected the dose. “Now, you go to bed”

Razor went back to his bed and fell asleep.

Ms. Cheerilee kissed him on the forehead and went to bed.

They were all asleep soon.
