//------------------------------// // The Morning After // Story: A Short Conversation // by Lotus Moon //------------------------------// "Did they..." "Just..." "Become a couple?" "You know what this calls for? A PARTY!!!!" Pinkie Pie blew off her party cannon, startling Flutterbat and Sombra hissed at them angrily. Before any pony could blink, Sombra was barreling towards Pinkie and she dashed away. "HIIIIIIIISSSSS!!! HIIIISSSSS!!!!" (Or in English: "GET BACK HERE!! YOU'RE GONNA REGRET THAT!!"). Sombra snarled and growled. "AHHHHHHH!!! SOMEPONY HELP!!!" Pinkie ran around Twilight's castle and then out and all around Ponyville, trying to escape the frightening dark unicorn. Twilight and the girls chased after them, doing whatever possible to rein in Sombra. It finally all ended when Flutterbat used her adorable stare to "calm the raging beast". "Hiss...hiss hisss" (Translate: "Somby...please calm down. Pinkie didn't mean to startle me.") "Hiiiissssss" (Translate: "This pink ballon needs to be popped.") Flutterbat nuzzles her stallion. "Hiss hisss~ Hiss" (Translate: "Pinkie Pie is nice. All of my friends are. Now please stop chasing Pinkie, and let's go home." ) Sombra sighed and lightly nipped the yellow mare-bat's ear "Hissssss" (Translate: "Alright, my little flower.") ***** After chasing around Pinkie for half the night and calming a startled Flutterbat, the night was over. Fluttershy was now back to normal. Laying in the giant plush master bed in her new home, Fluttershy was content and snuggled up with her now special some pony. Or rather...what snuggling would be...if not for the sharp point of the unicorn king's horn located right under her chin! "Oh...my..." Fluttershy gulped quietly as Sombra snored quietly, praying to Celestia he didn't move. She also thought it was time to talk to the girls about why Sombra was with her last night as well as what happened if it was hard for them to understand. But that would come after she got out of her current predicament. "S-Somby...dear...I think it's time to wake up and move very carefully, please." Sombra's eyes fluttered open and he sat slowly, stretching his maw as he yawned. His eyes landed on the yellow pegasus who had a light sweat on her brow. "Fluttershy? What happened?" "N-Nothing dear. But from now on, I think I should sleep on your chest." She said nervously. A sultry, throaty chuckle emanated from the dark unicorn's throat as he gently pulled Fluttershy from the bed. He gently swept some silky pink hair from her face. "How about we have a nice breakfast now?" "And then we may need to see the girls about last night. To explain our relationship...and so you can apologize to Pinkie" Fluttershy giggled bashfully. Sombra let out a gruff, exasperated sigh. "Fine." With that, the two went off to have a nice breakfast for two.
