I trot slowly forwards whilst staring intensely at my door, I sigh and open it. The room is so bare and disgusting to me, it lacks any colour or detail and smells rotten, much like me. It needed something, but what, I can't put my hoof on it.
"I've got it!" I yell aloud, not caring if anypony heard me, they wouldn't care either if I had yelled aloud, it wouldn't have been the first time."It needs some more life to it." I immediately decide to pick up my saddle bags and head off to Rose's flower shop, I'm sure she would love it as much as I would. I begin my slow decent down the stairs and towards my front door when I hear a faint knocking come from the other side of it.
I grasp the door handle with my magic and pull it open, to my astonishment, there, standing in all her glory, is none other than Rose herself. She is smiling warmly but shyly, it looks rather cute. In her mouth she is holding a Bouquet of beautiful red roses. Her mane is brushed out in beautiful strokes, the red and orange corresponding perfectly with the flowers. She stares a bit, nerves running through her (not that hard to tell, mind you) before finally opening her mouth to speak.
"H-Hello" she stutters out "I was hoping this address was right, it was however our first mee..." I shuddered at the thought of what she was saying "...ting place...sorry for bringing that up..." She trails off and begins to blush furiously.
"No it's fine...thank you, once again, I don't know where I would be without you...would you like too come in" I finish pointing a hoof at to the inside of my house, still cluttered with different bits and pieces. I smile nervously and blush slightly hoping she doesn't mind the mess.
Rose takes the offer and walks into the room, she sets the flowers down on the table, "I brought these over for you, I thought you might like them" she states, once again, blushing.
"They look great" I reply, "would you like a drink? I have water, coffee and tea."
"Ummmm...maybe a tea, thank you." She replies.
Yes make your move, you have the biggest chance of your life, make it count.
Brain, I will not hesitate to make this coffee alcoholic.
"I'll go and make it, meanwhile make your self comfortable." I say with a wink
Very comfortable.
Brain don't forget there is still some whiskey in the fridge.
Because that would help you with her a bit more, wouldn't it.
Touché brain, touché.
As I move towards the cupboard to find the kettle that is hidden away in the back of it, guarded by the darkness. I notice a strange note against the back wall of the cupboard, this note is not an ordinary not though. Vinyl has written it.
Grey, I hope you are feeling better from what happened last time, I was just hoping you could design a new cover for me soon, it would be greatly appreciated, I also am deeply sorry that I "broke" into your house to deliver this note. Hope it wasn't of any inconvenience to you.
Vinyl.
This note was quite strange to say the least, I never expected it to be there, let alone did I expect it to be from Vinyl, I may not be the most noticeable of ponies, but I do notice when something is out of place, and it was still odd that Vinyl had genuine concern for another pony. I simply shrug the note off and decide to get started on the tea for Rose. Some very elegant tea leaves from Manehatten that I picked up when I last went there for some more designers paper.
The tea blended perfectly, the smell drifted across my muzzle as I lifted it into the air to return to Rose, she had made herself comfortable on the couch next to a few rough sketches and an empty pizza box. I set the tea down in front of her and remove the pizza box from the couch and slump down next to her.
"So..." She begins, "you live here, all on your own?"
The enquiry completely caught me off guard but I eventually muster up enough confidence to answer honestly "well... Yea I do, it's not much, I have never had anypony to share it with" I look back at her to see her smiling lightly at me.
"I am the same as you, in more ways then one. I've never had anypony to share anything with either."
I nod back in interest as we talk, the smell of the tea still strong in the air. I may have found somepony new in my life, somepony I can share my deepest and darkest secrets, if only I had realised they were here all along.
