Dinky walked down the sidewalk in Canterlot thinking about the long day she had. Her job at "Chimeras" was a rough one, especially since her ex best friend started there. She levitated a cigarette out of a pack in her front pocket and lit it with her magic also. He was really starting to get annoying with his stares, trying to get her in trouble, and being around her always ...often when she was bent over to pick up something. The unicorn anthro did not want to think about it . All the 21 year old wanted to do was go home to her studio apartment , do her chores, brush her mane and tail and soak in the bath. She might even play with her ferret Lita.
" Hey yellow hair purple lady ! "
The call of her descriptive features brought her out of her thoughts. She turned her head to the direction of the voice . It was a white woman unicorn with flowing pink hair under a blue sun hat.
" Who, me?" Replied Dinky shyly.
The woman smiled " Yes dear," she replied back with a cunning smile. " Why don't you come and join me, maybe have a drink ? "
Dinky stood there for a moment befuddled, thinking about what would be the harm in joining this mare. She slowly made her way over to the seat in front of the woman for the draw of a much needed drink did call to her nerves. If she must confess she was debating on getting a cheap bottle on her way home and drinking the whole thing.
Not knowing what to say she no more than a whisper muttered " Hi..."
The white unicorn smiled back at her then rose her hand to call of a waitress. A young green girl with black hair and no wing nor horn came over to there table. "Yes, how may I help you?"
The white skin woman looked at Dinky. "What would you like to drink?"
"Umm.. A glass of merlot would be nice." She replied still not sure if she should accept the drink from a stranger.
" Two merlot please and thank you." and with that the woman waved the server off then looked back to Dinky. "I already ate but if you want I can order you something, no problem."
"No I'm fine , well I'm actually curious why you asked me to join you ." the you ung purple made forced herself to ask for she was curious and unsure at what the beautiful white unicorn intentions are. She was scarred to ask mainly for the answer and reaction of the question. The mare in the blue sunhat merely smiled before answering her question.
"You just looked so down it seemed like you needed a drink and you are a little cute thing." She said before resting her head on her hands. The last part took Dinky by surprise but before she could comment back the made in pink long hair extended her hand.
"Fleur De Lis"
The young ones face dropped, Fleur De Lis was a well known model in Canterlot, like very well known. There is photos of her in ads, magazines, and even televised fashion shows. Even with the sunhat on Dinky felt stupid for not recognising her. She should have known from her pink lengthy hair, pearl like skin, and her upper frame who she is. She felt stupid like really stupid.
Fleur seeing Dinky's reaction to who she is chuckled to herself. It was not the first time someone didn't notice her when she was in a blue trench jacket and sunhat, when she didn't want to be seen she would not be seen.
" So...." Fleur began with a draw . how was your day?"
" It was good." The purple mare said flatly.
" Hm how come I have a feeling it was not." Fleur corrected. Then the drinks arrived Dinky was kinda taken back by Fleur's bluntness, but she was right and broke the wall holding back her stress. She took a deep breath and a deep drink of the merlot the a sigh.
" Work sucked a lot."
"Why don't yo tell me about it ? Tell me everything , fire away."
Dink's let out another sigh "Why do you want to know?"
Fleur smirked kindly " Just to make a friend hun. "
Once again the questioned mare- anthro didn't see no harm in telling her. She was after all a famous woman appearing to make friends with a normal person like her. Well it did seem kinda odd but she didn't have nothing to loose telling her how her day went .
"Want me to start from the beginning?"
"Please do dear."
Dinky shuffled in her seat. " To begin with I was late to work..." She then paused.
"Go on.." Fleur encouraged.
"My boss was not happy."
"I see did he yell at you?"
"Yes"
Fleur grew concerned being late to work or getting yelled at by your boss was a sad fact of life, by the way Dinky appeared it was as if he did something.
"Did you do something or did you get fired?"
Dinky looked down to her glass. " No I just don't like getting yelled at. It bothers me a lot put me on edge." Fleur now looked at her like a cute wounded puppy, how could someone yell at this small cute young things he wondered.
" I see all hopefully talking about it takes the edge away hun."
"I usually just go on with my day and I did, it just got worst."
"Go on then please" Fleur said want into head more. The purple made looked down and scratched her cheek nervously .She was unsure she wanted to go o about the rest of her day especially since the last part particularly was the most difficult.
"Well there is this co worker..." Dinky began before Fleur kindly interrupted and finishing Dink's sentence"Who makes your job difficult?" . Dinky frowned the continued"Yeah kinda, me and him were best friends like brother and sister but that was what it was to me but not him."
Fleur looked was deeply concerned and looked it, these types of situations never ended well. The same thing was what happened to Her and Fancy Pants, even though they were still friends to this day there was a strain mostly because she told him she was a lesbian.
"You ended up turning him down didn't you?"
The purple anthro took another deep sigh. " Yeah and he turned out to be a big dick and now he works were I work." It was a minute before Dinky continued. "Now he is being ride and creepy and my boss won't do nothing."
The older woman put down her drink and looked hard at Dinky. Which caused Dinky to shuffle a bit again in her seat. Fleur sat and listened to what she had to say now it was the 21 year olds turn to set and listen.
" You can't let people like that bother you, their just babies who are made that the world won't go their way. They want to take it out on people who won't let them try to make them go with their decisions or wants. So they pressure you into submission or try to but you can't let them for you have to make yourself happy first. If you don't want to be with him then don't let him bother you because he wants it too so you will give in. The lesson of this all is don't let him bother you, he is just jealous that someday you will be with someone you are happy with , and that will not be him. He will try to make you feel little and break you into being with him, don't let him do that you are better than that and deserve better . Because hun you do." And with that Fleur put her hand on Dinky's and smiled beautifully. " If I were you I would flaunt your shit and make it worst on him but not on you," she added with a chuckle
The younger woman just turned her head and smiled, she really needed to hear what she said even though she was told long time ago by her mother Derpy not to let people bother you. But to hear it from another mare really sunk it in.
" So what do I do now?"
Fleur beamed a bigger smile "You drink with me, bartender!"
A FEW HOURS LATER
The duo had a few more drinks before they decided to take the party to Fleur's. There was a crowd growing and neither wanted to socialize nor did Dinky want to go home just yet. With alcohol flowing through her veins she had the courage to see were this was going to go. The young lady sat on Fleur's queen laughing about the model's fashion exploits. Dinky was heavily buzzed and only hearing half of what Fleur was saying.
"Oh Shit! Dinky exclaimed then looked at her watch , it was 9pm and she still had to do chores and feed her ferret. She started to get up but felt a hand on her shoulder.
" Everything okay?" It was Fleur and she asked in a sultry voice.
" Yeah I gotta go its late and I still have to feed my ferret and clean my apartment."
" How about you stay the night? You have been drinking and I would not want of see you in trouble. Besides I'm sure your chores can wait till tomorrow."
Upon hearing this Dink's started to internally paniac . She didn't know Fleur all to well to stay the night. This was a strange place and if something happened she wouldn't know how to get out. "Dammit Dinky you should have known better than to go home with a stranger. Dammit Dinky! dammit Alcohol!" She continued that train of thought for a few seconds. If her mother ever found out what she did she would tan her hide like she was nine.
" I can't I have to feed my ferret."Dinky said with paniac in her voice.
Fleur once again just smiled." When was the last time you fed it?"
" This morning.."
The elder made got up put both her hands on Dinky's shoulders guiding her to set and lay down she reassured her. "Your pet will be fine, you will be fine. Just set back and relax I have spare pajamas which might be loose but they will fit" Fleur then grabbed the young made chin. " There is no reason for you to get a charge and if I can help you from not getting bone I will." Dinky uncomfortable with Fleur stare thought for a second.
" And if I don't want to stay ?" She said with intimidation in her throat. Fleur pulled back and laughed, " You go, I'm not going to kidnap you dear. You are your own person and I would never stop someone from doing what they are comfortable with nor want to do."
With her saying that Dinky did feel more comfortable, she could leave if she wanted to. But now that she thought about it she was kinda tired and Fleur seemed nice, and dare she think of it, caring. Of course she had an idea what Fleur might want to do which was at worst was involving her taking her pants off and to be completely honest she was okay with that.
"Okay I'll stay but could I have some more wine please." She said sluggishly if the older made was wanting to "do it" if she even flowed that way which from her past comments Dinky was sure she did. The 21 year old wanted to be in the mood.
"Of course if your staying her I see no problem with it , what are you 21or 22?" She said with a wink
" Twenty one"
Fleur was already pouring some green liquid into 2 glasses." Right well gun forgive me but I can't resist in breaking out the good shit." She said with a laugh.She then gave Dinky one of the glasses.
"What is it?" Dinky asked
Fleur takes a deep deep swig "Absinthe the drink of the divine, this brand is very expensive and rare. High in alcohol so much we are only having one glass each tonight."
The purple stared at the glass then took a swig and instantly started to cough. "Yup this will do her tonight " Fleur told herself then patted her Dink's back.
" You won't get sick will you ? We've already drank a lot tonight and even though I must admit yoiu know how to handle your alcohol, I'm afraid this might do you in tonight."
"Nope..." Dinky replied her mind feeling loopy. " I've drank more" Fleur smiled " Good because I'm in the mood to have some more and it sucks drinking alone." The white anthro took another swig then shook her head."Ah let's go get you some pajamas okay." Fleur then grabbed her hand to help her up and then took her to her walk in closet.
"Pick whatever you like ."
Looking at the pajama side on the left hand side wall of the big closet. Dinky gandered at a the night outfits some were kinda "saucy" and Dinky was tempted to pick one of those to tease Fleur , but she was not that drunk...yet. So she decided on a purple pants that were fuzzy and a violet long sleeve satin shirt. She turned around to see the other woman was not there though she was not alone for long for Fleur showed up in the closet.Dressed in a pink tank top and white cotton short shorts with a rose in their center.Fleur looks at Dinky going as far as twirling her by the hand.
"I must say purple is truly your color ." turning her back to facing her with an sweet look on her face which caused the younger one to blush. They stayed like that for a few seconds before leaving the closet .Dinky started to feel uneasy and kinda wobbly as she walked the she ran into a stand causing her to fall straight on her front.
"Ugh.." Dinky groaned she was laying on the ground before being picked up and lifted to the bed, Fleur even though femine was indeed strong.
"Maybe we should have a night cap and goto sleep ,kay." Fleur said with a quirk in her voice.Dinky just rubbed her head and nodded.The drunk and now sore made laid against the head board of the bed. She felt her head there was knot nor blood so she didn't have nothing to worry about she told herself. The purple girl waited for the pink haired woman to come back, relaxed and started to feel numb also gitty she stared at the ceiling thinking if Fleur wanted to have sex. The 21 year old wouldn't mind but she better hurry up with it she was getting tired.After a couple more minutes into Dink's thinking Fleur Appeared with two glasses of red wine.
"How about I put in a comedy." She then handed a glass to Dinky which she just simply nodded too. Going over to her side of the bed Fleur grabbed the remote and turned it on Comedy Plaza. On which was a comedian making fun of President
Ruler Celestial and her wavy hair to whom which both of the women laughed.Fleur couldn't help but realize Dinky was laying on her side and head leaning on towards her. Fleur chuckled to her self " She must want or think I want to do something naughty." Then she started to think "Why did I invite Dinky over in the first place." She knew the answer to that.
"Dinky I'm glad you hung out with me today."
Upon hearing that from Fleur Dinky looked up from her were her head laid on the pillow.
Fleur let out a harsh sigh. " Everyone I know is ether a stuck up priss or wannabe priss, kiss ass, or wants to get into my pants." The agitated made exclaimed. Dinky like before was shocked from Fleur's confession and bluntness.The white made looked down at her wine and twirled it with her finger.
"Then I saw you a normal person appearing down in the dumps and seeing you....I wanted to help you, brighten you up have a normal convo get to know you." Fleur took a deep breath."Its been so long since I just sat and talked to someone its been even linger since I've been close to having a friend."
Not sure what to say Dinky said the first thing that came to her head "I'll be your friend..." Hearing the small shy unicorn reply to her problem made Fleur smirk. "Thank yoiu Dinky I would like that very much." Then the older unicorn gave Dinky sly look and smile and adds " And maybe more in the future, if you flow that way ?"
Dinky sat still for a moment soakinin Fleur words before quickly replying. " I do, and yes maybe."
There was another momment of silence before both started to laugh. Then both sat back and relaxed and watched TV.
