hello it is i once again back to feed a semi dead fandom
I was watching What Meme Worry and got an idea... if Sunil is that scared of nail clipping, then he must be terrified of needles. So here's my prompt...
oOoOoOh nOoOoOo!!!11! It's booster shot day at the pet vet! (post Littlest Pet Street episodes btw)
And of course everyone is nerve wracked, but Sunil especially because he's a coward obviously.
meanwhile being a reptile, Vinnie doesn't need shots, but he's still worried about Sunil and wants to comfort him. What are they gonna doooooo?
you're about to make this super cute i just know it 👍
The automatic doors of the vet clinic slid open with a whoosh, and every pet inside immediately went tense.
The smell alone screamed shots.
“Okay, everybody stay calm,” Blythe said as she guided the pets through the waiting room doors.
“I am calm,” Russell said quickly.
A second later, he added, “…mostly.”
Penny gave a nervous laugh from beside him. “I’m trying to be brave, but I really don’t like this place.”
Minka was already pacing in circles. “What if the needle is huge?! What if it hurts forever?! What if we all faint dramatically?!”
“Please stop talking,” Sunil squeaked.
The little mongoose was clutching the side of a chair so tightly his claws were leaving marks. His tail had puffed up completely, and he looked seconds away from bolting out the door.
Pepper laughed. “It’s one little booster shot.”
“One.. booster.. shot,” Sunil repeated weakly, like the words themselves terrified him.
Nearby, Vinnie watched quietly from beside the chair. Since he was a reptile, he didn’t need the same vaccines everyone else did.
But he still looked worried.
Mostly because Sunil looked absolutely miserable.
“Hey,” Vinnie said softly. “You okay?”
The clinic assistant opened the door. “Pepper Clark?”
Blythe smiled encouragingly. “You got this, Pepper.”
Pepper marched into the exam room confidently. “Watch how a professional handles this.”
The door shut behind her.
Penny winced sympathetically. Russell’s ears flattened.
“Nope,” he whispered immediately. “Absolutely not.”
Before anyone could react, he ducked under the chairs curling into the corner beside a stack of pet magazines.
“Sunil,” Blythe said gently, kneeling beside him, “you can’t stay under there forever.”
Russell crouched nearby, clearly nervous himself. “Look, I don’t like shots either, but they’re over fast.”
Penny nodded quickly. “Yeah! And afterward we can all get snacks.”
“That does not fix the needle situation,” Sunil replied hurriedly.
One by one, the others got called into the exam rooms.
Zoe returned afterward dramatically draped across Blythe’s arms.
“It was terrible,” she groaned.
“It took two seconds,” Blythe said.
“THE WORST TWO SECONDS Minka added rubbing her own arm.”
Russell came back trying to act unfazed, though his spikes still looked puffed up.
Penny followed after him, rubbing her own arm nervously afterward but smiling anyway. “See? We all survived.”
Sunil still looked unconvinced.
Eventually, only he was left.
The assistant opened the door again. “Sunil Nevla?”
Sunil made a tiny distressed noise from under the chair.
Vinnie looked over at him carefully. Sunil kept jolting around,his paws were trembling, he wouldn’t even look toward the hallway.
“You don’t have to do it alone,” he said quietly.
Sunil peeked up at him. “I feel like I may perish.”
Sunil let out another nervous little sound and buried his face in his paws.
Vinnie climbed right beside him gently leaning against his shoulder.
“Hey,” he said softly. “I’ll stay with you the whole time, okay?”
Blythe smiled. “Can Vinnie go in with him?”
The assistant immediately nodded. “Of course.”
The exam room felt way too bright and way too quiet.
Blythe stood nearby while Sunil sat stiffly on the table, Vinnie beside him with one tiny shoulder resting on his arm.
The vet prepared the syringe.
And immediately panicked.
“You’re okay,” Vinnie said quickly.
Blythe stepped closer patting Sunil gently on the head. “Just breathe, okay? It’ll be really quick.”
The vet smiled kindly. “All right little guy let’s hold still.”
Sunil looked like he was about to leap directly through the ceiling.
Vinnie grabbed both of Sunil’s paws before he could panic any harder.
“Hey. Look at me, not the needle.”
The second the vet moved closer, he squeezed his eyes shut and clung tightly to Vinnie.
“I dislike this experience!”
“You’re doing fine,” Vinnie promised.
“I am suffering emotionally!”
“It’ll be over in one second.”
“And done,” the vet said.
The vet was already putting a little bandage on his arm.
Sunil blinked a few times in confusion.
There was a long silence.
Then Sunil slowly sat up straighter.
Vinnie grinned. “See? You survived.”
Sunil looked down at the bandage, then back at Vinnie.
“Yeah,” Penny said from the doorway with a smile, “but you still did it.”
For a second, Sunil’s nervous expression softened.
“…thank you for staying with me” he blushed, feeling a little embarrassed now. “no problem.” Vinnie said smiling. “Now how about some treats?” Blythe asked grabbing the pair from the table. Both nodded excitedly as they left the room still closer,together.
