"Come on, I'll get us some breakfast."
>"Skittows wan' sweep wif daddy ewey night!"
>His fluffy energy has gently picked up
"Well, get up and we'll talk about it over breakfast."
>Skittles tries to wiggle his leggies out of the blanket, but fails.
>After a little bit, he asks you to pick him up

>Fuck it
>You start airplane-ing him to the kitchen making VROOM sounds with your mouth
>Endless laughter

>You gently land him on the kitchen counter
"Okay, just sit there while I get some food."
>"Nummies!"
>Alright, he said he was thirsty
>Shit, the whole drowning thing
>You should probably get something for him to drink out of
>You don't have any, like, hamster feeders or anything
>You guess just gently feeding him a glass of water would be okay, until you can get him a bottle
>You fill a glass of water
>Bring it to Skittles
"Skit, I need you to be really careful with this, okay?"
>"Why?"
"Because fluffies drown a lot."
>"Skittows dun wan' downs!"
>He curls up and starts shaking a little

"Skittles, if you're gonna shake like that, it's not gonna help."
>"Nnnnuhhh!"
>He's really scared, but he calms down a bit
"You need to drink something, man. Just sit as still as you can and open your snout."
>He hesitates a bit
>"Okay daddy."
>He does as you told him
>You take the glass and gently edge it into his snout
>You just jolt it a little bit at a slow pace so little tiny drops come over the side and he licks them up
>He's looking up at you the whole time
>This goes on for about a half hour and you start to get into a rhythm with it
>You've got this
"You getting full?"
>"Yes da-"
>His hoof moves
>Shit, it kicks the glass out of your hand
>A decent amount of water comes right up and splashes Skittles right in the face
>Water going up his nose and snout and into his eyes
>Crying immediately
>Shit shit shit
>Gotta think fast
>Gotta think fast
>Grab a sponge off of the counter and try to hold the squirming pony down on the counter
>"No spwa-*gagck*, no spwashies, *gagck*! Nyaahh spwashies!"
>Bubbles are coming out of his nose and mouth as he speaks

>You press the sponge lightly against his face
>It soaks up a decent amount of the water from her face, but there's no getting at the stuff that's blocking her nasal cavities and throat
"SKITTLES. Skittles, listen to me, I want you to sneeze!"
>"*gagck* dya-.. dyaddy *gagck*"
>You smash your fist down on the table next to him
"God DAMNIT Skittles I need you to sneeze, can you do that?"
>"*gagck*... choo choos"
>Shit shit shit
"Skittles, I need you to do like I do, Ahh!"
>He gets it and repeats
>"Ahhh..."
"AAHH!"
>"aahhhhhh..."
"CHOO!"
>A loose "schnnk" sound comes from his snout, and a lot of bubbles come out
>You bring the sponge to it before he can inhale again
>Successfully soak up most of the water and mucus
>You do the sneezing thing with him more
>After the third time he's still coughing and crying, but he seems to be breathing okay
"You okay? Skittles? Talk to me if you're okay!"
