Two Nymphs, One Pony

Unorganized

“Twilight, can we focus on the mess at hoof?” Fluttershy inquired, letting out a tired groan. It had been a few hours, and the moon had crept into the night sky not too long ago. Her hooves were uncomfortable to pressed together as she tried to avoid bumping into the furniture and cups.

Pillows and blankets were scattered about as Twilight hyper-focused on everything but the pegasus in the room. Navy mane became more and more frazzled as Twilight became lost in her own head. This was the most disorganized Fluttershy had seen Twilight, though in all fairness her room wasn’t all that tidy to begin with.

“...Twilight?” She asked again, her voice becoming slightly sterner.

“Hm?”

“Why is your room so messy?” She decided to ask, looking around the tilted desks and shelves. Books were out of place, their pages were wrinkled and torn, and tipped over cups crowding the floor and the tables.

The horned mare blushed, tapping her hooves. “Well...I guess I wasn’t the most organized back then...and I never ended up cleaning my room when I moved out.”

A light giggle filled the room. “You? Not organized? I thought I’d never heard that sentence coming from your mouth,” Fluttershy put a hoof over her mouth as she smiled.

Twilight became quiet again, juggling the books above her head. She squinted her eyes as she read each cover. “Should I alphabetize them or reverse alphabetize them?” She wondered out loud, sweeping the cups off of her desk with one hoof.

“How about we clean up the cups and figure out where we sleep before you organize everything?” Fluttershy tapped her distracted friend’s shoulder, gesturing towards the room around her. The horned mare snapped out of her trance, looking back at her room.

“Yeah...that’s a good idea...”


Once the room was in a decent state, Fluttershy stretched. Her wings were cramping against her sides, relieved from the hour's worth of work. It still wasn’t perfect, but it was a big step up from the original state it was in.

Whew...” she sighed, wiping the sweat off her forehead. “That’s was much more than I was expecting...”

Twilight nervously laughed, averting her purple eyes. “Yeah...this place was more of a mess than I realized.”

A melody of laughter filled the room, dust dancing in the air. Momentarily, Fluttershy coughed, dusting herself off. “Honestly? I’ve seen worst,” she chuckled, digging up fond memories. “When Rainbow and I were roommates her stuff was everywhere!”

Twilight smiled, giggling. She turned her purple eyes towards the newly cleaned room around her. “So...about our sleeping space. Now that everything is organized, we have either my bed or my hammock,” she tapped her chin, humming quietly. “Which one do you want?”

“I don’t mind which one so...I guess you can pick for me?”

“Fluttershy, that’s not an answer,” Twilight sighed, still keep a tight grin on her face. Her tail twitched against the carpet floor, strands of pink and purple hair caught on the fibers. “I don’t mind sleeping on either of them, but you are the guest! You should be the one to pick where you want to sleep.”

“Um...” Fluttershy gaze fell onto the floor, shuffling her hooves. “I really don’t know...”

“Alright, then you are sleeping on the bed.”

“Wait what-“

Fluttershy yelped when she felt herself lifted into the air. Magical aura surrounded her in its magenta hue, levitating her to the bed. It was pearly white, and the blanket that hugged against the mattress was a navy blue.

She widened her eyes, reveling how soft it was. Her body sunk into to mattress, the material cradling around her stomach and hooves.

“Soft, right?” Twilight tapped against the bed.

A soft trill echoed from the back of her throat as she relished the feathered mattress. She hadn’t slept on her own bed for a while, so it was nice to be in one again.

“Thanks, Twilight,” she murmured gratefully, clapping her front hooves together. The friends smiled at one another before Twilight turned back to her desk.

“So...should I alphabetize or reverse alphabetize?”
