//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Till we meet again // Story: The 2 human Fillies // by Star Sparkle //------------------------------// The alarm of Twinky’s phone woke both of the girls up. As Star rose her head, she noticed some wet spots on her pillow, instantly she dried her mouth, but there was nothing, she rubbed her eyes there was more crust, could she have had a nightmare? She wasn’t even able to remember her dream, and as she was still tired, that could be proof of a nightmare. Twinky on the other hand, stretched and looked over at Star, noticing her rubbing her face and looking at her pillow, puzzled she asked, “Hi, are you okay, did you have a bad dream?” Star looked over at Twinky, did she hear Star having a bad dream? “I got nightmares for my first few nights too, so it’s okay. You wanna talk about it?” Twinky said maybe before thinking, hopefully, Star would tell anyone else about it, as only Ms. Spring knew about it, and it was a little embarrassing, but she wanted to trust Star. “No- I, I don’t know, I think I cried in my sleep?” Star said while still being puzzled herself, “But I don’t remember, did you hear anything?” “No, I think you even fell asleep before me, but I can try next night,” Twinky said wanting to help. “No, it’s okay,” Star said, “It was only if you heard anything.” Silence fell on the room as both girls got ready and headed for breakfast. As the girls sat and enjoyed their food ms. Care came over to Star with a bag in her hand, “Morning girls, did you sleep well?” Twinky and Star in unison nodded and said, “Yes ms. Care.” “That’s good, and here you go Star,” ms. Care sat the bag next to Star’s seat, “Just come to my office when you’re ready or need help.” Star noticed the black clothes in the bag and knew what it was, it was Saturday, and it was time to say goodbye to Sunset. Twinky wanted to ask what it was, but asking in front of everyone else didn’t seem like a good idea to her. Once Star and Twinky had finished their meal they went back to their bedroom where Twinky asked, “What’s in the bag?” Star didn’t answer, only took out a pair of black high heels, short black leggings, a black dress, and honestly, it was just a black version of Star’s normal outfit. “My umm- big sister,” memories flooded Star’s head remembering the last time she saw Sunset, looked into her emerald eyes, as she whished Star a happy life with her new family, and promised she would stay in contact. Star fell down on the floor and began to cry, Twinky, not hesitating a second, jumped and hugged Star. A few knocks on the door, and while Star did a few sniffles, Twinky called “Who is it?” “It’s ms. Care. Can I come in?” “Come in,” called Twinky back. Star looked up as ms. Care came in. She saw Star on the floor, clearly, Star had just cried, so she got down to Star and asked if she was still okay with going, Star nodded. “Can I come too?” Twinky asked, “I know that, I didn’t know Star’s big sister, but she means a lot to Star, then she means a lot to me too.” Surprised by this, Star rose from the floor and looked into Twinky's eyes and stood up and hugged her: "Thank you, Twinky. “Well, in that case, do you have an appropriate outfit?” Twinkie nodded, rummaging through her closet and found a black outfit, similar to her own but longer and more enclosed. Ms. Care nodded and she helped us get ready as she was already ready. Hours and many tears later the girls arrived back at the orphanage and inside their room about an hour before dinner “Hey Star?” Twinky asked. “Yeah?” Said Star. “Your hair clip, was that a gift from Sunset?” Twinky asked. Star smiled, “It is, and as long as I have that, she’ll always be with me.” “That also how I got my hairclip,” Twinky said, “Not like yours but my golden star belonged to my mom, and said I was named Midnight Twinkle because of stars twinkle during midnight.” Both girls giggled as Twinky helped Star get her hairclip in place before Star helped Twinky, then both girls decided to draw until dinner. After dinner, they went back and played, go fish, hours flew by and soon it was bedtime, but instead of bed the girls decided to continue to draw, and small talk, until late into the night. Yawning and stretching the girls fell fast asleep.
