I yawned as I rolled over in bed and hugged my pillow, my eyes slowly opening. I had expected to either be holding Diamond, Cloudkicker or Trixie.
I sniffed the air and shoved my blankets off the floor. I took a step and yawned as I stumbled down the steps.
“Hey!” Blossomforth poked her head out of the kitchen as I looked around and rubbed my eyes. “Lavender and I are cooking breakfast. You really need to get groceries girl. You eat way too much fast food.”
I gave a noncommital grunt as I flopped down on the couch next to Raindrops and lazily pulled the guardian papers I had signed almost several months ago.
“Alright,” I grumbled and gratefully accepted the coffee Twilight handed me. “Twilight, you understand legal stuff way better than I do. Sit down.”
The others looked at each other before shrugging and sitting around me as I gave Twilight everything and she started reading before giving an ear piecing squeal that might honestly have given me hearing loss.
“Dear god Twilight!” I snapped and winced. “Not so high pitched, Jesus.”
“Sorry I’m just so excited for you,” Twilight gushed as she passed the papers around and naturally, everyone else lost their shit and I don’t know why really.
“She should come hang with Noi sometime,” Carrot Top mused as she brushed her hair. “They could get along well.”
“And Snails,” Raindrops chimed in with a small smile.
“So that’s why you had Cloudkicker and Trixie talk to you in the bathroom,” Blossomforth said as she stopped her wheelchair at the doorway. “So what do the others say?”
“Well, what I can see it just says what Diamond is allergic to, favorite foods, a certain amount of money to be allocated to her when she turns eighteen, a decent stake in the business and ownership of a few assets. Nothing too major really, just a store business. That’s all really,” Twilight answered and stretched. “It’s pretty straight forward and all really.”
“How is she taking it?” Wallflower asked as we all looked upstairs to watch Diamond stumble to the bathroom and slam the door shut. “She seems mad.”
“She’s always like that in the mornings,” I explained. “She’s not a morning person. Give her thirty to shower and she will be normal.”
Scarily like me really. I’m only really socializing now because I have to. Usually I don’t speak to people until about three hours after I woke up.
“I’m probably moving down the hall. Gonna send a text to the owner of this freaking place and see what they say,” I said and sipped my coffee. “I’m more so concerned about college and all that shit.”
“Oh here we go again,” Trixie groaned and facepalmed. “You have a lot of money, you’re fine. If you’re really concerned about it, the sushi place in the mall is hiring. I applied but they said no. Trixie is too energetic around knives they said. Hmph! What do they know?”
“You don’t really need college to be successful,” Carrot Top admitted. “I didn’t go to college and I’m running my family fare. I can do the taxes and all that for it. Raindrops didn’t go to college and she’s getting a job as a storm tracker this week with our local news station.”
I suppose she had a point there. I didn’t really plan on going either. I was just gonna focus full on livestreaming and video games.
“But Strawberry Sunrise works part time at the sushi place as well as with Bon Bons,” Trixie continued and I grimaced slightly. Strawberry was a unique character. But we both didn’t like Applejack so I suppose that was a thing we had in common.
“I can easily handle Strawberry,” I announced with a shrug. “She’s not all that quick or anything really. Her mouth is her greatest asset to her.”
“That sounds bad,” Raindrops muttered as I bit my lip to prevent me from laughing. I didn’t entirely mean for it to sound that way but it was pretty funny I’ll admit.
“Have you decided on what those three little pricks punishment is yet?” Wallflower asked and we gave her stunned looks. While I didn’t know her well yet or for long, she really didn’t seem like the type to talk like that.
“Oh I have. I’m just waiting tomorrow to see their reasoning behind the account. Not that anything they say is gonna be a good reason,” I grumbled as Diamond came down the stairs with a towel around her head and eagerly hugged me as I turned red. “So you remember us waking you up at four am then?”
“Mhm!”
Well, that’s one problem avoided. I had been worried she had thought it was a dream or something. She was pretty out it when we woke her up.
“You seem pretty happy about it,” Twilight commented and Diamond nodded. “That’s a plus. I was more worried about you being angry.”
“Oh no I’m angry. Just not at Sunset. I’m more happy than angry so it outweighs the anger,” Diamond explained as I nodded.
“Can’t argue with that logic,” Lavender admitted after a moment. “Hey, where’s Red? Wasn’t she here last night?
“She was but she had to go to the hospital and finish my sister’s paperwork for the surgery. Fuchsia hides it well but she’s pretty concerned about naturally. It’s why I won’t be going to Equestria with you all. Maybe next time if there is one. Fuchsia will need me there.”
“We can cancel and hang around till it’s done,” I offered and Wallflower shook her head.
“Fuchsia said she wanted you all to go anyway. She never really was the type to like feeling like she’s holding people back. Trust me, I’ve lived with her my entire short life.”
“If you’re sure about that,” Trixie answered after a moment and Wallflower nodded again.
“I’m sure. Thanks anyway though.”
“Diamond, could you please let me go for a second so I can get breakfast?”
“Oh right. Sorry.”
My eyes widened slightly as Blossomforth threw a pancake at me and I barely caught it. I gave a shrug and took a bit and I gave her an impressed look.
I should have Blossomforth come cook more often.
