The next morning
As her internal alarm clock went off, Gydina yawned, and stretched herself out. Her horn felt a bit tingly, but she quickly wrote that off as the anticipation of wondering what the pegasus thought of her gift. She smiled as she walked into Vidhwansak's bedroom, about to surprise the mare by jumping into her bed...When she saw that the pegasus wasn't in her bed, and showed no signs of being slept in last night. Confused, Gydina looked around for the mare, and she sighed when her gazed snapped up to Vidhwansak's computer.
The pegasus was snoring on top of her keyboard rather ungracefully, complete with a line of drool trailing down from her mouth and onto the keyboard. Wondering why she was up all night on the computer, Gydina gently and carefully lifted up Vidhwansak with her magic, and set her down on the sofa. It was rather unusual for the pegasus to be up late at night, and if she was, it wasn't for very long. But by the looks of it, the pegasus must have barely gotten a few hours of sleep. Looking up at the computer screen, Gydina saw yet another chapter of her story completed and waiting to be submitted.
Was she really up all night making another chapter? Gydina rolled her eyes. She didn't have to make a new chapter every single day. Her stomach growled, eliminating all other thoughts about the pegasus. Food first, then worry about her. Gydina walked over to the refrigerator, and pulled out a plate of cold pizza. It was about a week old, but it'll have to do. At least she wouldn't get hungry. She placed the plate of pizza in a nearby microwave, and turned it on. Satisfied that she would have some food soon, she returned her gaze over to the pegasus sleeping on her sofa.
After poking her wings a few times, Gydina gave up. The pegasus was out cold. At least she wouldn't have to put up with her nagging for awhile. Walking back to the microwave, she watched as the seconds continued to tick down, and she slowly and softly muttered under her breath, her eyes twitching slightly.
"Five...Four...Three...Two...One..." Before the microwave rang out, Gydina pressed 'cancel', and raised a hoof in the air triumphantly. "Hell yeah, bomb defused! Take that, terrorist scum!" Carefully, the unicorn took the plate of now-hot pizza out onto the small table just outside the kitchen, where she waited for the pizza to cool down. The smell of greasy pizza wafted out towards the pegasus, who sneezed, and looked up with bleary eyes.
"Uh...Hello, Gydina." The unicorn smiled. When the pegasus had bed-mane, she looked pretty good, the unicorn admitted. Unfortunately, there was no way she was going to be able to convince Vidhwansak to not brush her mane and leave it at that. She could be such a bore, trying to remain a proper mare in a city like Manehattan. Gydina waved back at the pegasus, and held up a slice of pizza, offering it to her. Groaning, Vidhwansak got off the sofa, and had her customary frown on her face. 'Just like always', thought Gydina.
"Is there anything else in refrigerator? Even though I like pizza as much as the next pony, Gydina, I don't think it's breakfast food for me...Especially if that pizza is a week old and smells funny." Gydina rolled her eyes, and still held up the offered slice to the pegasus. She needed to stop being picky. Lifting a hoof up to her face in despair, Vidhwansak walked over to Gydina, accepted the slice of pizza, and began to eat with the unicorn. There was a silence between them as they ate, and Vidhwansak looked over towards the sky.
"I got the weather patrol today." It was a weak attempt at starting a conversation, but the pegasus didn't like how the silence stretched out. It felt normal, just sitting here, sharing a slice of rather greasy pizza with her roommate. Which was why she was worried. Gydina didn't exactly keep things normal around here. The unicorn blinked, slightly confused, then nodded slowly.
"Oh? Well, don't be home late, Viddy."
"I don't intend to be late, Gydina. I'll be back for lunch, I can't stand the food they serve in the cafe."
"Well, too bad, I was thinking about clearing out the fridge of food today, so you might as well buy some more food."
The pegasus sighed. So much for coming home for lunch. "I don't have that many bits left, Gydina, until my next paycheck, and that's not for another four days after today. Please don't eat everything, I don't want to starve before my next check." The unicorn lazily waved her hoof, showing that she heard the pegasus. Vidhwansak walked out of the apartment room, and shut the door behind her softly. Gydina, bored, walked over into the pegasus' bedroom, and jumped onto it. She looked up at the ceiling, wondering what to do. She began to point her hooves in the air, and mimicking gunshots.
"...Pew, pew! Tango down! Proceed to the bomb site!"
After roughing up the imaginary terrorists, Gydina decided that, since there was nothing to do here, she may as well go read a few stories. Although, if the pegasus ever found out how much she liked reading, she'd never hear the end of it. Logging into the same website where Gydina had jumped the gun and sent Vidhwansak's story to, she began browsing stories to read.
