- >"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't let that thing near me!"
- "C'mon Dash, this isn't that bad. Everyone has had theirs so far, now it's your turn."
- >You were currently in the Ponyville hospital, and it was time for tetanus booster shots. The other five had taken theirs like champs, but Rainbow Dash...
- >Well, she wasn't being the most graceful about it, to say the least.
- >"What if she slips? She might puncture an artery!"
- "She's not going to slip." You deadpan, clamping your hands down on her wings to prevent her escape.
- >You gave the feathery appendages a light massage to calm her, which wasn't working.
- >"But what if?!"
- >You sighed heavily.
- "Would you feel better if I was there with you?"
- >The pegasus stopped her thrashing about to think about it. You can hear the gears turning.
- >"...no, I don't think so."
- "Too bad, we're going in."
- >With that, you lifted the struggling pony and slung her over your shoulder, carrying her into the office.
- >You set her down on the cushioned recliner-esque chair, then immediately slammed the door shut before Rainbow could attempt to escape.
- >There, you both waited. You were calm, Rainbow Dash was panicking and hyperventilating.
- "Dash."
- >"WHAT?!"
- "Breathe."
- >"I AM!"
- >Her breathing was ragged, and silent tears were streaming down her face.
- >"I don't want it, I don't want it..." She mumbled between labored breaths.
- >Wow, that was kinda heartbreaking.
- >Still, it was one now, or thirty later. At least, that's what your parents had always told you.
- "You'll be fine, Rainbow. I promise."
- >The clicking of the door was the only warning you got to hold Rainbow down again.
- >The door slowly opened, revealing Nurse Redheart with a case in her mouth.
- >You weren't entirely sure that was sanitary.
- >Redheart sat the case down, then turned to the two of you with an amused expression.
- >"Well now, Rainbow Dash. Someone I never expected to see in here, especially uninjured."
- >Dash didn't respond, instead intensely glaring at the nurse.
- "Well, it was quite the feat doing that." You replied, keeping the pegasus still.
- >"I can imagine." She chuckled, before prepping the syringe.
- >She slowly filled it with a clear fluid, and Dash's eyes locked to it.
- >Her pupils dilated, and the hyperventilating started again.
- >You stood between her line of sight and Redheart.
- "Dash."
- >"WHAT!?" She shouted, fear taking over.
- "You need to breathe. With me, okay?"
- >You took a slow breath in.
- "In..."
- >You slowly exhaled.
- "Out."
- >You inhaled again, and Rainbow copied you.
- >She let her breath out early, but was still visibly calmer.
- >You moved aside, and Rainbow affixed a heated glare to the nurse.
- >Redheart, for her part, blatantly ignored said gaze. Probably no stranger to it.
- "Dash, look at me. It'll hurt more if you watch it."
- >Rainbow ignored you, still intently watching the needle.
- >You took a direct approach, this time grabbing Dash around the muzzle and forcing her to look at you.
- >"Mmmmph?!"
- "Look at me."
- >Redheart crept closer, and you took a deep breath, recalling a song you had heard on the radio a few minutes before you landed in Equestria.
- "Every-thing's, gonna be alright~
- Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye~"
- >Your singing voice wasn't the best, but it was enough.
- >"Anon..."
- "Mm?"
- >"...that was terrible. Who taught you how to sing, the back of a cereal box?"
- >Redheart had already administered the treatment, and the prismatic-maned mare hadn't noticed.
- "There, was that so bad?"
- >"What?"
- >Dash looked over, and Redheart was gone along with her syringe kit.
- >You swore that nurse was some kind of ninja in a past life.
- "All done, Dash."
- >"R-really?" She sniffled, before wrapping her hooves around your neck.
- >"You're the best..." She muttered into your chest.
- >Today was a "Dash owes you one" kinda day.
