Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was the day after Halloween. Foals everywhere were stuffed from candy, adults were hung over from a different kind of indulgence. Willow Wisp however was having none of either. The fanged unicorn was unfortunately suffering from a toothache. Anything very cold or sugary gave her a sharp pain, and that was enough to prevent her from enjoying any left over treats.

That was how the mare wound up outside the dentist's office. However she was a little bit timid about going in. Normally, nothing much scared the unicorn. She was perfectly comfortable with the idea of witches, dragons, and all sorts of monsters. But the dentist was a different thing all together, because it meant having to deal with her fangs. They were one of her favorite things about herself, and part of what made her her. What if the dentist wanted to pull them out! Take her teeth!

The thought terrified Wisp. But the pain needed to be dealt with, even just standing there, the unicorn could be a bit of a tingle in her teeth. After several minutes, the unicorn took a deep breath and opened the door.

IF the dentist tried anything funny, Wisp was somewhat sure that they'd end up facing the wrath of her siblings. Wisp hoped that wouldn't be the case.

In the waiting room, Wisp gently swayed back and forth as she waited. Glancing around, she found the room fairly calming. It didn’t look like a dungeon, as she often heard going to the dentist as a type of torture she was expecting it to look like it.

When she heard her name called, Wisp stood up. “I’m here.” She moved to the bright, sparkly flutter. She didn’t look scary at all, but Wisp knew that looks could be deceiving; the unicorn hoped this wasn’t the case. “I’m ready….”
