While Discorp runs over almost everything in Manehatten, us citizens can only be thankful he put his magic in something not world dominating. The little we do know about the Draconeqi species is how powerful they are. While Discord is known as a power hungry soulless tycoon, it's better then evil world dominator. President Celestia says to be on good terms with him, but even shows caution when near him. I don't know about you.. but there's definitely something between them.
Being a public vet you do tend to hear people gossip. Honestly I'd prefer talking to their animals than them sometimes though.
INT. - VET OFFICE - NIGHTTIME
"Everything is put away Miss Maisley. I can close up from here." I said to my boss, who is the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. I've learned a lot from her over the years.
She put on her coat and let her eyes adjust to seeing me. After so many years she sometimes still has trouble recognizing me."Perfect dear. I'll be going now. remember to lock up and turn off the lights!"
"I know! Have a good night." I gave her a wave and a smile. Still says the same thing to me every night. Honestly I look forward to it now.
Since I was little, animals have always spoken to me. No, literally. Obviously magic isn't uncommon, but to a pegasus it is. While my friends know, I don't share it with other people. It's always been something for me, and either way, I get way too scared speaking to people. Animals just get me. And it makes it easier for me being a vet. You don't know how many times I heard a cat tell me their food is too salty or a dog hates their owners perfume.
Before leaving, I remember to check my mailbox. Coupons.. coupons.. deals.. scam.. No write back from Animal Daily. You'd think I'd be able to profit from literally being able to speak to animals.. but it's hard when some people think my articles are crazy. So much for trying to speak for the animals.
I noticed my coworker, Silver Bridles, mailbox. There was a big grey envelope in it addressed to her. From... Discorp?! What?!?
I grabbed it to make sure I was reading it right. Is this a new selling tacict? Or way to spread their new deals? But I've gotten mail from them before.. not like this..
What would Discorp need from a lousy veterinarian? especially a small one down in Manehattan?
While I'm not proud of what I did next.. I wouldn't have ever been able to sleep again if I hadn't done what I did. I opened the envelope.
"To Ms. Silver Bridles, Mr Discord at Discorp would like to request your veterinarian services to treat his ill cat, Chancellor, at his offices, at Discorp HQ. We've seen your exceptional work that you have performed and have chosen you to work this special job. We expect your work to be left quiet, and no outside sources. Your services and travel fees will be compensated greatly. Please meet us this Thursday if you are interested.
Discorp"
My tone could only become more shocked as I read forward. My guilt of opening someone's mail left me when I was filled with confusion. Her??? Silver, who hates her job, comes in late, doesn't even like animals, and makes me do everything?!? Not to mention, she's allergic to cats!
I.. can't just let this happen. Are you serious? I'd honestly be doing her a favor not letting herself go there to embarrass herself.
I pace back and forth for a bit. I.. need to think about this.
INT. - BAR - NIGHTTIME
"You looked through her mail?!? You know that's illegal right??" Screamed my friend Rarity. I needed someone to talk to, so I called her up for drinks.
I cover her mouth before she could tell anything worse.
"Shh!!! Jeez. But.. you would've wanted to know too!" I said louder than I meant too.
"That's true though.. so...how are you going to give it back to her?" says Rarity.
I squint at her and take a sip of mimosa. "What if... I go..? In place of her."
Rarity chuckled for a second, and then gained her composure. "Are you.. serious? Come on Fluttershy! That is just... bad!"
I cringed. "Ugh!! I knew it was stupid. I just.."
"You want that cash for yourself." Rarity took a dip of her drink. "I'd do the same. But... this is just... crazy." She started laughing.
"I deserve the spot way more than Silver anyways! I actually know about animals! For Celestia's sake I can speak to them!" I said half joking. I finish the rest of my drink.
"Honestly. I just don't want you in any trouble dear. But.. can you imagine how fun that would be?" Rarity's smile gave me encouragement.
"So should I? If she finds out.. I'm so screwed." I sink into my seat.
".. Do it.. Who cares! It'll all be circumstantial.. maybe!" Reality smiled and laughed, and pulled me into a hug.
"Haha! Okay.! But if anything happens..." I pull away.
"I don't know you..!" Rarity looked me dead in the eyes. We laughed and ordered more drinks.
INT. - VET OFFICE - MORNING
I still can't believe I did that. waking up the next morning I felt an enormous amount of guilt; and even more seeing Silver the next day. Well, it partially went away when she made me finish up her appointment while she took a smoke break.
INT. BEDROOM - MORNING
Thursday came, along with my anxiety. Was this dumb? Yes!! Oh my gosh.
It took two panic attacks and three calls with Rarity to get me dressed and out of the house. Why was I forcing myself to do this? I'd think the money, obviously, but this.. was just the ultimate way to spite Silver. After all the years of taking her crap.. haha.!
