>Be Anon. >Hollow Shades has always smelled like a really gross mouth. >You've always wondered why, but never knew. >One night, while walking around, a bat-pony started talking to you. >With her face mere inches from your own. >And that's when it hit you. >Bat breath. >You grabbed the pony and ran home with her. >Straight to your bathroom, where you grabbed your toothbrush and toothpaste. >She screamed and howled as you brushed her teeth until they were fresh and clean. >Once you finished, you let her go and ran out into the night. >It was time to clean Hollow Shades' teeth. >Bat by bat, you tackled them and forcefully cleaned their mouths. >No more bat breath for this town. >As the night carried on, you cleaned the mouths of nearly every bat in town. >And the town was smelling fresher than ever. >You retreat to your home to rest. >The next night, you're awoken by a loud pounding at your door. >As you check to see what the commotion is, you open your front door. >A long line of bat-ponies waits patiently. >The first mare at the door trots inside. >You pick her up and put her back outside. "What do you think you're doing?" >"I'm here to get my teeth brushed!" "What?" >"Aren't you a dentist?" "No?" >"Oh. Well, where are we going to go to get our teeth brushed?" "Don't you have your own toothbrushes?" >"Yes, but none of us do it as well as you!" >Rolling your eyes, you sigh and invite her back in. >Looks like you've just gotten roped into being the Hollow Shades tooth-brusher. >At least they're willing to pay for it. ----- >Day two of being Anon the dentist >Bat-ponies keep lining up at your door from sunset to sunrise. >You don't actually have the credentials to do this, nor the tools. >All you have is an assortment of toothbrushes and a lot of toothpaste. >Why? >For the sake of this silly little story, of course. >Bat-ponies line up from the door to your bathroom, all the way through Hollow Shades. >As far as you know, Hollow Shades has come to a complete stand-still due to your new business. >The economy is probably dead, since you have almost all of the money in Hollow Shades. >Bat-ponies will pay upwards of twenty bits just to have their teeth brushed. >One mare in particular has paid you almost a hundred bits, but she always requests that you floss her teeth and give her mouthwash too. >At least she won't have bat breath. >She helps Hollow Shades smell better, too. >Maybe ponies will actually visit the town if it doesn't smell like armpits. >"Anon!" >It's her. "Yes, Echo. Hello." >She throws a bundle of bits into your bath tub and hops up on the counter. >"The usual!" >With a sigh, you apply a bit of toothpaste to a toothbrush, wet it, and stick it in her mouth. >She scree's as she closes her lips around the brush. >You hold her by the snout and start scrubbing her teeth. >She smiles and shuts her eyes as she taps her hooves on the counter. >Echo takes a little too much satisfaction out of this. >The toothpaste foams around her lips as you pull the brush out. >She turns and spits into the sink before opening her mouth as wide as possible. >You pull a bit of floss out of a small plastic box and twirl it around your fingers. >It slides between her teeth as you pull little scraps of food up. >As you finish, she licks her teeth and smiles. >"Now the mouthwash!" >You sigh and pour a cap full of mouthwash for her. >She sips it up and swishes it around her mouth before spitting it into the sink. >"Thanks Anon!" >She shouts, hops off the counter, and sprints out of the room.
