//------------------------------// // Just add a little more to the mixture. // Story: Was there a memo I didn't get? // by Galaneth //------------------------------// The silence after the last statement hung in the air for a long time as the staring continued. "So your mother wasn't off her rocker when she called me earlier." My dad said with a smirk that completely threw off my preparation for conflict. ".....What?" I said since I couldn't think of anything better. "She called and told me that our son is now a talking pony." He semi repeated. ".....What?" "You got wings too huh, can ya fly?" ".....What?" Where is the lemon meringue conflict? I don't understand why this man is acting that way! He has absolutely no reason to be taking this as easily as he is now! "What could possibly be forming in that sick mind of yours to let you take this in strides?" I say regaining my composure. "Nothing at all." He says rather flatly with that smirk. "Bull! That is complete bull! Me and my brother are perfect examples that you are lying through your teeth old man!" I spout to only receive a laugh as a response while he walked over to the living room computer. "Okay, I'm done with this, back to my room I go." No matter how lazy I felt I did not want to sit and subject myself to this, so I hopped off the recliner. "Pretty pony princess!" I hear in my dad's trademark high pitched mocking tone, as I proceed back to my room. 'How is it that I am related to that man!?' I think to myself, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of a response. Once I reached my room I promptly shut and locked the door leaving me to my own devices. Having no idea on what to do, I hovered onto my computer chair to turn on my laptop. Even though I could type through the hunt and pick method, I still had much to be desired. Such as video games, I'm now not sure if I'll ever be able to play console games anymore. Maybe if I get proficient enough with these feathers, I might be able to play pc games with some of the fineness my hands had. "Sitting on this thing is now more depressing then it should be." I say with a sigh. Not willing to face my friends, I shut off skype and continue to pass the time by surfing around for what info I could gather. Minutes melded into hours as I moved along for what I could possibly find, I didn't find much. Though there was one particular video that I found of Pinkie Pie giving a speech to a crowd somewhere in Oklahoma. Further poking around let me find out that it happened today, what is today anyway? I mouse over to the clock on the bottom right of the screen. "Huh, usually Sundays aren't that eventful for me." I say while taking note of the time. "Is it that late? I know I slept a good amount away but did I spend that much time on the computer?" I question as the clock read 11 PM. "No doubt everyone's asleep by now, maybe I can go out and relax in the living room without anything happening this time." To which I promptly hop out of the chair, to make my way out to the living room for round three. Once in the open space, I make a bee line for the recliner to immediately curl up and make myself comfortable. Despite the lack of lights being on, it wasn't hard for me to find my goal. Once set in the position I wanted, I could finally let myself relax and retreat into my own thoughts. Which for the moment, really isn't much, I couldn't figure out what I wanted to focus on first. Today had a lot to throw at me, at least in the morning I still had my manhood. "Forget freaky Friday, this is a strange Sunday..." I say then looking around for a moment. "Thankfully no one was around to hear that." I finish as I lay my head on the arm rest. It was then that a tickling in my throat made itself known, causing me to cough a few times. How distracted to I have to be in order to forget the entire idea of my being sick? Come to think of it, that's the reason I went to the vet. Well ain't that just a bowl of grapes, if I didn't get sick, I'd still be a stallion. "Oh well, nothing I can do about it now." I say while letting out a sigh. I continued to lay there, letting my thoughts flow from one to another as time passed. It was actually really boring, but probably for the best for now. I'd much rather lay here and not let anything weird happen, as opposed to moving and getting into more trouble. Yet my curiosity decided to take over when I noticed something familiar shining through the back door. That something familiar was none other than moonlight, taking an oddly strong interest in the pale light, I hop off the recliner and move towards the back door. A quick hover and the light switch to the back yard was off, followed by a small struggle to get the door itself open. Once out side, I could immediately see the moon's reflection in the pool. Looking up at the moon itself, I couldn't help but feel drawn, like something inside me is stirring. I wanted to get closer, an urge within me demanded that I get closer. The urge being strong enough to bring movement to my wings, soon I was in the sky. I found myself soaring upwards through the chilly fall air, though for some reason I didn't feel cold. The opposite really, I felt warm, like I was being embraced. I wasn't sure how I was moving like I was, kind of like an instinct separate from myself, took over my wings. Once I got to a decent enough height, my auto pilot left me on a stray cloud in the middle of the night sky. I would marvel at the fact that I stood on a cloud, if it weren't for my full attention being to the moon itself. Seeing it like this is a much different experience then I've ever had before. It's pale light showering down upon me, giving me this warm and safe feeling. I could lose myself in this feeling all night if I were allowed. "Hmmm, you seem to be gaining a charge after all, maybe the talent wasn't diminished. Perhaps the nature of the talent has changed." I hear a familiar voice say from not very far away, I'd jump in surprise, but the calm I'm getting in this light won't let me. "Who's there?" I say while lazily turning to the source. "Seems like you're getting the same reaction I did when I first got a taste of moonlight too." I heard just before coming face to face with Solar Glint. ".....What?"
