I was awoken to motion of the bed rocking and squeaking, at first I was confused, then I was concerned, finally I was confermed. I opened my eye, it still being relatively dark in my room, my very little amount of draconic magic keeping me able to see in the dark a bit better than a normal human but nowhere near what my full potential would be.
Anyways, I looked around to see a very small body jumping on the bed, “Goldy… what are you doing?” I groaned out.
“It’s tomorrow, we’re going to the zoo today right?!” She asked in a excited, harsh, whisper.
“Ugh…. yeah, not until much later though. Let mommy, daddy, and Pinkie get more sleep ok?”
The rocking and squeaking stopped, “But...but…”
I sighed, reading myself to get up, “It’s ok Chrissy, go back to sleep, I’ll keep her company.” Said a groggy Pinkie.
“You sure?”
“Yepperoni, I love spending time with Goldy, plus it’ll let me practice some recipes I found in the library and on the internet thing.” She said, slowly sounding more awake.
I’d shrug if I wasn’t lying down, so instead i gave out a large yawn, “Alright, just don’t burn down the kitchen, or do, I’m not a cop.”
Pinkie gave out a half laugh half yawn, “Yes you are, you’re the cop of feels!” She climbed out of the bed, and had Goldy follow her.
“Oh thank Celestia…” I heard Shy mutter out.
“So you were awake, I was wondering how you were asleep through all that.”
“I-I… just didn’t want to be bothered… I love Goldy I do, more than anything.”
“Even me?”
“Oh hush. I love her, but sometimes she can get a little too excited.”
I nodded, not that it mattered, “Well, Pinkie has her occupied let’s get some sleep.” She rolled over and cuddled against me as I laid on my back, closing my eyes. I tried to sleep for several minutes but I was now wide awake, I snorted in annoyance, which caught Shy’s attention.
“Can’t sleep?”
“Nah, too awake.” I sat up, Shy sliding over and curling up some, “I’m going to go check on Pinkie and Goldy.”
“Ok, wake me up, before it’s time to leave?”
“Of course I will, I love you.” I gave her a kiss, her lips tasting like strawberries enticing me to kiss her more, to which I happily obliged, Shy actually had to push me away, much to my annoyance.
She laughed, blushing, as I could feel the heat from her face against mine, “As much as I love the attention, we both have morning breath, and you have two children to watch.”
I stepped back, “Two? More like a child and a young adult and I’m sure Goldy can keep Pinkie in check just fine.” I gave her one last quick kiss, and made my way down to the kitchen, leaving her to get more rest.
I walked into the kitchen to see Pinkie in a relatively snug apron over her pajamas, and covered in random patches of flour, “I… what? It’s only been like 15 minutes how are you already this messy and where’s Goldy?”
Pinkie looked behind her, giving me a wide smile, “CHRISSY! You’re awake, good, I wanted to get your help with these, but I didn’t want to wake you, but now that you are up, i don’t have to worry about that and I can just ask for your help now, and you can help me because you’re awake and-”
I gave her hair, which was tied back in a ponytail a soft tug, “Calm down Pinks, you also didn’t answer my question before I help you.” She cocked her head to the side, confused, “Goldy, you know, my daughter, part human, dragon, and pony?”
Pinkie scoffed and rolled her eyes, “I know who Goldy is silly, she’s in the bathroom.”
“Ah, alright, now what did you need my help with?”
“Weeeeelllll, I know your favorite fruit are lemons and I was trying to make lemon Pancakes, but they just keep coming out wrong.” She said with a pout.
I raised a brow at that, “My favorite fruit is Mango, Pinkie.”
She gave me a curious look, “Are you sure, because any time something with lemon is brought up you tend to freak out about it.”
I held up a finger to correct her, only to lower it, realizing she was correct, “I… well… no, you.”
She giggled, “Good comeback, but the help?”
“Right, yeah sure, let me just wash my hands and put on an apron.” After finding my spare apron, it had little blue snowflakes on it, huh…. Weird.
“So, let me see what you’re doing.” I told her, she showed me exactly what she did, and honestly I didn’t see anything wrong, until I dipped my pinky in the batter and pulled it out to taste, my face scrunched up horribly at the overwhelming sour and bitterness.
“See, that’s what's happening over and over, but I’m doing the recipe right, at least from what i’m reading.” She said, handing me the recipe sheet.
I looked over it, she indeed was doing everything right, “Weird, you normally don’t have any trouble unless someone is intentionally or accidentally sabotaging you.”
“Like with the baked bads.” Pinkie said with a shudder.
“I thought we all agreed to never bring those up, ever.” Apple Bloom was never destined to be a baker, shoot, none of the crusaders were, how Bloom got extract of swamp, I will never know, nor question.
That’s when a thought struck me, “Hey, Pinks.”
“Yeah?” She asked, resuming remaking the recipe.
“Hand me the lemon extract.” She quickly did and I examined the bottle, “Pinkie… this is extra strength lemon extract.” I don’t remember ever having this in the house, but I have been gone for… 17 years.
“Wait, really?”I handed her the bottle back and she looked at it, “Oh silly me, it was super simple, I guess I just need to put more of everything else in the pancake mix.”
I blanched at that, “OR!” I shouted, my voice cracking some. I cleared my throat and continued at a more reasonable volume for 5 in the morning, “You could lessen the amount of extract.”
“But then, there wouldn’t be enough pancakes for everyone.” Pinkie said with a whimper.
“Pinkie, nearly everyone has been living somewhere else for the last few weeks, really it’s just me, you, Shy, Goldy, Spike, Twilight, and Lilac and her girls at this point.” I pointed to the large batch of untainted pancake mix, “I think what you have there will be more than enough.” Where did she even get that much flour to make a mix out of?
After awhile of cooking and making various amounts of foods, not just pancakes, seriously though, it’s always pancakes, like I’m in some poorly written story. Well, after about 2 and a half hours of both Pinkie and I cooking, with Goldy helping here and there, leaving the kitchen sometimes to go do other things or use the restroom, what she’s still a child, do you have any idea how small their bladders are?
The last thing to be ready were the biscuits I had going in the oven. Pinkie was off to the side, setting things up to look neat and orderly, well neat and orderly according to Piknie. Which meant color coding, so everything was mixed together at the end of it all, I shrugged, Pinkie was Pinkie, no point in changing her.
The oven timer went off and I opened its door, feeling the hot air hit my face, I was still distracted by Pinkie’s organization skills, or lack thereof, and grabbed the pan without putting on gloves. Of course, this hurt like all hell, as grabbing a 300 plus degree pan would do, so naturally I dropped the pan and let out a stream of curses that would make my ancestors proud.
This, however caught Pinkie’s attention who ran over to me, “Are you ok Chrissy?!”
I was holding my hand by the wrist, squeezing it hard to stop some blood flow making my hand a bit more numb to the pain, “Yeah… just fine… just burnt my hand is all… nothing serious.” I managed to say through gritted teeth, seriously it didn’t feel like anything past a first degree burn so I'm pretty sure I’d be fine in an hour our two, doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt like hell.
She grabbed my wrist, being extremely careful not to touched any burnt pats of my hand, she examined it and nodded, using her free hand to dig around in her pocket of her pajama pants, pull out her pink power crystal.
“Pinkie what are you?”
“I can’t use my Pinkie magic like this, now shhhh and let me do what I do best and completely mess with reality.” She broke her crystal, her light cocoon forming around her before breaking open, revealing the fluffy pink pony I knew all too well, she had a wide smile on her face, and her eyes were alight with pure laughter, yep that’s how I knew she was running at full Pinkie power.
“So what’re you going to do, stick it your hair o-” I was cut off as she pressed her lips against mine. My eyes went wide before I fell into the kiss, her lips were fuller than Shy’s and in turn softer. Where as Shy’s tasted like strawberries, Pinkie’s tasted like cherry, with a hint of the lemon from the extract she was tasting all morning. This kiss had pure electricity and energy running through it like i had been hopped up on pounds of sugar and caffeine. It was a surprising difference compared to Shy’s calming kiss, like I had drank an entire cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter day and snuggled in blankets. But that doesn't mean I wasn’t enjoying it, I very much was.
Before I could savor it any longer, Pinkie pulled away, a small strand of saliva connecting our lips, it was also a bit of a wet kiss, I won’t lie about that. I also won’t lie in saying that I was giving off a dopey smile.
Pinkie giggled, and held up my hand, “There all better, a kiss makes booboos all better my Grammie always used to say.”
That rocketed me back into reality, wait it was straight up because of that saying, I blinked, “You… do know it normally means you kiss the injury itself right?”
Pinkie looked at me before smacking her forehead, “Right I knew I did something wrong.”
“I wouldn’t necessarily say you did anything wrong…” I mumbled, “Uh anyways, I’ll clean up the biscuits and stuff, can you go gather everyone for breakfast.” She nodded happily and began to skip away, “Oh and can you send Goldy into the kitchen… I… uh need to talk to her about something.”
“Can do Chrissy!” Pinkie called out from around the corner with a giggle before light shone from where she had turned the corner.
Guess what she did ran down her time a lot, makes sense. No, no the fuck it didn’t, I really wish Ixis could talk to me right now I need someone to freak out to. I pondered what the actual hell just happened until Goldy came walking through the doorway into the kitchen.
“Pinkie said you wanted to see me daddy?”
I sat down at the table, “Sit, I have something I want to talk to you about.”
She looked panicked, “I-I didn’t do it, ViVi did!” She quickly said.
I furrowed my brows, “I-what? You know what, that can wait. You aren’t in trouble, I just wanted to talk to you about Pinkie.”
She st down in a chair across from me, “Auntie Pinkie isn’t in trouble is she?”
“Depends on what you define as trouble, really. How do you feel about Pinkie?”
She thought about it or a minute before smiling, “She’s super nice and funny. She always cheers me up when I’m sad, and she has the silliest songs. But, she is a bit weird, not in a bad way, in a nice way, kind of like you daddy.”
I gave my daughter a look of mock hurt, “Rude.” I smiled, “Well, that’s good, and you don't’ dislike her at all?” She shook her head.
I paused for a little bit, honestly Goldy was the deciding factor here, I could want to include Pinkie on this all I wanted. Shy could give her permission until the end of time, but if Goldy wasn’t ok with it then I wouldn’t go through with it.
“How would you feel about having Pinkie be your mommy?”
That question clearly caught the her off guard as she gave me a wide eyed look, that slowly transitioned into a small scowl, she was one of the few people I know who’s scowls worried me, “Do you not love mommy anymore?” She asked me.
“Of course I still love mommy, I love mommy with all my heart. I just also really like Pinkie.” I explained.
“Does that mean I get to have two mommies if I say yes?” I nodded, “Well… does she make you happy daddy?”
I looked at my daughter, out of everything she’s asked that one struck a chord, she really does get her mother’s kindness, her main worry being if she makes me happy, “She does, she makes me laugh and I love how she sees the world, just like your mom. They both see the good in everything, or at least the capacity for it, and I need as much as that as I can get. But I also make Pinkie… happy, at least I think I do, does she ever seem sad when she’s around you, just when it’s you two?”
“A little, like she’s really sad deep down.”
I nodded, “Yeah, I noticed that when she’s around everyone else, but when it’s just me and her it's gone, like that sadness just doesn't exist.”
Goldy nodded, “Just like how mommy isn’t super shy around you or me.” I always forget how smart she is since she hung around Twilight quite a bit.
“Exactly like that, so are you ok with having a second mommy?” I asked her once more.
She smiled, got up from her chair, and walked over to me to give me a hug, “As long as she makes you happy daddy, you can get me as many mommies as you want.”
I laughed and ran my hand through her hair, “I think I’ll just keep it to two but good to know just in case.” I pushed her away, “Now go wash up for breakfast.” She nodded and went to the restroom that was located on the bottom floor.
I shook my head, alright let’s get this day started.
~Several hours later and at the zoo~
We were walking through the zoo, just got out of the reptile exhibit, Spike should have came with, he would’ve loved to have seen the Komodo Dragon, ah well, he opted to stay home and keep Pinkie company since today was a Twilight, Shy, and Goldy day.
We were currently headed towards the area that had the… farm/labor animals which means, and this didn’t click until just now, that we would be seeing horses and ponies, from my world. I warned them that it might be a shock to see them.
Of course when we got there, their reactions, to me were priceless, a mix of shock and intrigue mostly. But they reassured me they understood that my world was severely different from theirs in a ton of aspects. I told them I was going to sit down on the bench, I needed a break, I woke up way too early and have been going nonstop all day today.
I leaned back on the bench and decided to rest my eye for a bit, it felt like it was only seconds until I felt someone sit down next to me, I looked over to see it was Twilight, “Hey Twi, what’s up?”
“I was just making sure you were ok, you were over here with your eyes closed for awhile.” She said.
I nodded, “Just tired, you enjoying your time at the zoo?”
She gave me a wide smile, relieved that I was just resting, but also at the question, “Yes, I can’t believe how different your world is compared to Equestria. I’ve been using your library and the internet, but there’s nothing like getting out and learning about something physically.”
I smirked, “Didn’t we have an ongoing argument about which was better? Didn’t you say something about reading was more organized and concise or something like that?”
She blushed, realizing I was right, “Y-yes well… I will concede defeat and say that your hands on way of learning also has its time and place where it takes precedence over books and records.”
I chuckled,“Nah, that’s not defeat, it’s compromise, cuz your way has its place too Twi.”
She went back to watching the labor animals, Shy and Goldy were extra fascinated by them, “You know Fluttershy has tried to understand every animal we’ve seen today. I think your world’s equines are the ones she can talk to the easiest.”
I nodded, “Makes sense, considering you all are just anthro horses.”
She looked offended, “We are Equestrian Sapiens, thank you very much.”
I rolled my hand in the air, “Tomato potato.” I leaned back and closed my eye again.
“Hey Chris?” I gunted in response, “Is that really what you see us as?”
I leaned my head back forward and looked at her and then at the horses and ponies out in the fields, “Do I see you as what? Horses and Ponies?”
“Well, more specifically like your world’s equines. I can see how we resemble them in some ways. But it also brings a thought to the forefront of my mind, that’s been nagging me.”
“Which is?”
“They’re kind of… ugly. I mean, don’t get me wrong I can tell they're majestic and proud creatures, but they just have this lack of…” He rolled her hand in the air, fishing for a word.
“Intelligence?” I offered.
“More like sentience.” She corrected, “It makes me wonder how you find any of us attractive.”
I mulled her words over in my head some, looking at two of the loves of my life talking to the beasts of burden, it was a surreal moment to say the least.
I shrugged, “I don’t see it.” I said simply.
She looked at me quizzically, “You… don’t see it? See what?”
“I don’t see the resemblances.” I corrected.
She looked at me, flabbergasted, “How could you not? The difference in fur textures and quality. The long, pronounced, muzzles. The tails, that idly sway and swat at annoyances. The long ears, the swivel at the top of the head, alert, listening for predators. So many similarities, how could you not notice them?”
I shook my head, “Of course I notice those, I notice those the same way I notice Spike is a fire breathing dragon, Twilight.” I pointed to the horses and ponies, “They’re just not a big deal and besides, all of your similar features are nowhere near as pronounced, outside of the tails, hooves, and ears, so the muzzle really, except on males and even then it’s nowhere near as bad as the equines here.”
“I but-”
“You want to know how I can ignore all of that? Look at Shy, from behind she looks exactly like she would on Equestria save from the legs, she could hide her tail in the skirt and tuck her ears down. From the front, it’s the same as well except her face. You all are mostly human to me, your differences from humans though just make you all more… attractive if I’m being honest.”
“It makes us exotic?” Twilight hazard a guess.
I nodded, “But that’s not the only reason, look at the horses and ponies eyes and then look at mine, what do you see?”
She did as I asked, “Proportionally, your eyes are bigger in comparison to your head.”
“Ok but what else, and look deep.”
She once more took a long look at the equines and then at my eye, “The sentience and intelligence we brought up.” She said with a gasp.
“Exactly, you all have human levels, and beyond, of intelligence in your eyes, you have what, I would call, a soul… a heart… a personality. That’s what really attracts me to you all, well not all of you but you know what I meant.”
She giggled, “Yes, I do. Just Fluttershy and Pinkie, right?”
I sighed, “You know at this point shouldn't even be surprised. So what do you think of the whole Pinkie situation then?”
“I think it’s good, she’s had coltfriends before, you know?”
That surprised me, “She did? I know Shy said something about you all having boyfriends and the like at the moment and it making Pinkie feel left out and upset.”
Twilight blushed, obviously thinking about her S/O.
What just because I don’t actively talk about them, doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. In fact only Rarity didn’t have a S/O, everyone else did, well and Pinkie, but I was planning on changing that.
“Yes, that would make sense, all of her previous coltfriends have left her only a few weeks into dating her.” She explained.
Ok, that doubly surprised me, who would leave such a bubbly… and squishy girl like Pinkie.
“That’s for her to tell and you to find out. What’s with the look, you were thinking out loud.” She said, explaining how she knew my question, “But just promise me, that when she does tell you won’t let it change how you feel about her.”
I shrugged, “Don’t know why it would, not like I have any room to do that with my truck load of problems.”
Twilight chuckled, “True, but come on, let’s enjoy the day, I‘m curious as to what your world’s birds look like.” We both stood and made our way to my girls.
Well that was certainly an interesting conversation, so Pinkie has some secret about her that affected her relationships, now I’m curious and worried.
~2 days later~
I was currently out with Pinkie and Bon Bon, today was their day, so I took them to a store that sold top of the line cookware. Pinkie was having a blast, looking at all the new stuff she could use to bake treats for everyone even better and faster, cutting down on her cook time and increasing her smile time, as she said.
I was also having fun, it’s been a while since I went shopping for new kitchen equipment, I was looking at a good 19 piece set of Zwillings J.A. Henckels. It ran a good 300$, but I was really debating getting them and some whetstones and a few other miscellaneous items.
But the one who was going all out was Bon Bon, I told her to grab a shopping cart and put what she could in it and I’d buy it all for her. Equestria did have electricity, or at least the big cities did, running off of magic crystal was really only efficient for small towns like Ponyville, but Bon Bon and Lyra's new shop would be one of the few running off of electricity in Ponyville. I can’t remember if the outlets were the same, but if not, it was a simple fix that I could have someone back in Equestria handle.
At the end of it all I spent… an amount I’m not entirely comfortable saying, it was still nothing, literally a drop in the ocean, but it still made me feel uncomfortable.
Our next stop was a party store where I could let Pinkie run wild while Bon Bon and I could just watch. I gave Pinkie the same stipulation Bon Bon had at her store. Pinkie gave me a wide, thankful smile, grabbed a cart and hurried around the store.
“So, I’m guessing you also know I’m planning on asking Pinkie to join in with me and shy and form a herd?” I asked my candy making best friend.
She nodded, “I was one of the first people she talked to about it, her feelings for you and her suspicion of your feelings for her.”
“One of the first? Who was the other?”
“Your sister and before you start thinking, no she didn’t tell us outright that’s what you were planning, we asked if it sounded like something you would do. We told her that Equestria does have polyamorous relationships and she said if that was the case you most likely would take that chance in a heartbeat.” Bon Bon explained.
Oh… well guess I can’t be mad at her for that because, “She’s right, I would and will be taking that chance, so what do you think about it?”
Bon Bon looked at me seriously, “Christopher, you’re my best friend, next to Lyra, all I want is for you to be happy and to conquer this darkness you’re holding in your heart.” She said poking my chest, “If Pinkie can help with that then I have no right to say no. Though, I don’t care if she is an element of harmony or if she’s had rocky relationships in the past, if she hurts you I’m going to turn her laughter into fear.”
I was about to speak up but she wasn’t done.
“And I shouldn’t have to tell you this, mostly because I know you won’t do this but, I’ll do the same to you if you hurt her, got it? That mare has had so much shit from her past coltfriends it's insane, and not the good kind.” She said with a huff.
“Ok why do I feel like there’s something I’m missing here that everyone else knows?” I was getting frustrated, I hated not being in the know.
She smirked, “Because you are the only one who doesn’t know, you and the kids anyways, and Fluttershy.”
“And I’m guessing you won’t tell me what it is?”
She shook her head, “Not my place, be patient, I’m sure she’ll tell you when she’s ready.”
“Mmmm alright.”
We walked around with Pinkie, losing her a few times, until it was time to go when she suddenly popped up behind us, scaring us pretty bad. She was ready to go and her cart was full, leaving little to no space for light to get through to the other side of the cart. We checked her stuff out, it running me a good pinch of change, not as much as the cookware but still more than anyone should reasonably spend on party supplies.
That would normally end our day as I planned on heading home and cooking with the two of them, helping Pinkie and Bon Bon come up some new sweet of some kind, but I needed to stop by the mall, for a nick-nack store that was only in there, weird I know but I wanted to get some things for everyone who stayed in Equestria.
We got to the mall late in the afternoon, and I picked up what I needed from the store, and we were currently eating in the food court when i heard my name being called.
“Christopher is that you?” I turned my head to locate the voice, to see an older lady standing there. I would say roughly 38 years old, short dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, on the chubby side but still had a figure. A tall man, who was cleary of mixed descent, and 3 children accompanying them.
“Who are you?” I asked the woman.
She looked hurt, “You don’t recognize me?” I shook my head. She sighed, “I suppose that’s fair, you don’t look like you’ve aged a day, though you do look different, your hair is straightened and… what happened to your eye and all those scars?”
I looked at her long and hard, she obviously knew me, but I didn’t know her, I didn’t know any short blonde… oh shit, wait… I did... it can’t be, “Becca?”
She smiled, happy that I did remember her, “Do you mind if we join you?”
I felt Pinkie cling on tightly to my right arm and I noticed even Bon Bon scooted closer, right they know about my past, “I… yeah, sure…”
“Thank you, oh I forgot, this is my husband, Ian, and our kids, Anthony, Courtney, and Shayne.” She said, gesturing to her family, as they sat down.
“Oh… so you got married… well it has been…. Years so no surprise there, though you never seemed like one to settle down and have kids. Not a partier either, just… you know.” I said, very confused as to what’s going on.
“Yeah, well you know how things go, is she your?” She asked looking at Pinkie, who was clinging to my arm.
“Oh, Patricia, she’s my-”
“Wife! I’m his wife, pleased to meet you, he’s told me everything about you.” Pinkie said, cutting me off and shocking me.
“I-uh- yeah what she said and this is Bonnie, she’s my best friend.” I said, gesturing to Bon Bon, who was equally shocked, but more amused at Pinkie’s antics than I was.
“Ah so you’re the famous Becca, good to finally meet you.” Bon Bon said with a warm smile.
Becca look at me, concerned, and then at Pinkie, “Nice to meet you too, so he’s told you about me has he? What exactly?”
“Our past.” I spoke up quickly before either of them could go and make things worse, “I told them about our past, and how at the end of the day it was a mutual decision to split up.” I said with a warning tone to the two girls next to me, the one clinging on to me, looking away quickly, obviously ashamed. Bon Bon, just kept staring, she didn’t care, she’s super protective.
Becca nodded, “It was mutual… though you never gave me a reason why you wanted to split, but that was 20 years ago, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re back, though I’m curious where you went and what happened to you.”
I sighed, not wanting to go through this whole kit and kaboodle, “It’s… a long story, just know I needed to leave, get away from everyone and everything for a bit and find myself. Obviously I have and I’m doing a lot better.”
She looked dejected at that, I wasn’t trying to give her the cold shoulder, I really just didn’t know how to talk to her or what to say, “So have you run into A.D. yet? I’m sure he’d be happy to see you.” She sad, trying to find a topic to stay on.
“I did, he was happy, we caught up, but he had to go do his thing, live his life, you know all that jazz.”
“Yeah…” She sighed and stood up, “Well it was nice seeing you again Chris.” Her family got up with her, and they started to walk away.
What was I doing, she used to be my closest friend…. I can’t just leave it like this. I stood up quickly, dragging the party planner up with me, “Becca, wait!” She stopped and turned around, “I’m sorry… I just I don’t know, life has changed everything. I don’t hate you, I promise. But I won’t be staying long, I’m leaving at the ended of the month. I came back to see and apologize to everyone, really my family and you and A.D. Look, I just wanted to say i’m sorry for leaving like I did, but I have my own life I need to get back to soon.”
She nodded, “I understand, will you be back at any time?”
I shrugged, “I don’t know, probably not, this was kind of a one time thing, not of any fault of you all, just circumstances.”
“Do I even want to know?”
“Probably not, but, you can talk to Lilac after I leave, she knows everything I went though and where I’m at. I’d ask for a hug, but I know you don’t like them and I’m kind of, you know.” I said waving my free hand at Pinkie, who was still clinging on to me.
Becca laughed, “It’s fine, besides we should get going, well It was good to see you again, honestly. Though I wish it didn’t have to be the last time.” She said, obviously sad.
“It’s ok, and besides, we may never meet again, but we will never forget each other.” I said, tilting my head down slightly and putting the tips of my fingers against my forehead.
Becca gave me a deadpanned look, “Really, good to know you’re still a massive nerd, have a good life Chris.” She finished with a chuckle and walking away with her family.
I looked down to Pinkie, with slight disapproval, but there was definitely a ton of love and if not a bit of arousal thrown in, which she could tell because she gave me the biggest shit eating grin, “You and I need to have a talk… but it can wait, come on let’s go home.”
