Things Fall Back Into Place

Vinyl and Derpy weren't taking Justin leaving so well. They both sat at the table he had set for the three of them, staring down at dimly-lit plates in the dimly-lit room. Neither of them ate any of the now cold spaghetti that sat in a strainer on the counter nearby. A stomach grumbled, breaking the long silence, but also did the front door open.

They both jumped out of their seats and ran to the edge of the kitchen, both eyes peering around the corner to find a familiar figure letting an usually large bag hit the floor. With a sigh, he took off his hat and jacket, placing both on the coat rack. When he turned, he had the same face, only slightly different, there was for fur on his face. The fur had grown itself around his lips and under his nose.

Both mare took no time guessing who it was and just tackled him to the ground. "We thought you left!" They both cried out in unison.

"Well, technically, I did. for five months to finish schooling." Justin stated, both mare looked at him funny.

"Dude, it's only been two hours." Vinyl put out.

"It has?" Both nodded, "Well, I guess nothing has really changed has it?"

"Except for your face." Depry piped up, "You have fur on your face now."

"It's a goatee, Derpy, and it's hair. I guess we just created a time paradox." Justin just smiled before speaking again. "That way, you, you, and me can really get a relationship off the ground."

Derpy's eyes went wide a bit as she gasped, "So that's why you made us supper."

"It was me telling you that I'm no longer making you both wait on me being human." Justin then hugged both the mares and sat up, both close to his chest. "I might not be a pony, but I wouldn't change anything to to be around you two."

"Quit bein' sappy" Vinyl teased.

"Oh, and you weren't being sappy by tackling me to the ground?" Justin teased back

Vinyl just chuckled and landed a playful punch on his cheek. Justin just shook his head slightly and let go of the two ponies, both sat in his lap with smiles and maybe some tears forming. He knew what those tears were for, happy tears for his return. They didn't think they'd see him again, but that changed when he came through that door.

"So, how about I make something simple?" Justin offered. "I'd have to assume that spaghetti and sauce is no longer good and something warm sounds good."

"One question first." Derpy stayed on his legs, a hoof pointed to his large bag. "What's that?"

Justin followed the hoof then looked back to the grey pegasus. "That, my dear Derpy, is my dufflebag. It contains any clothes I decided to pack for the trip here."

Derpy mouthed an 'oh' and was picked up by Justin and placed to his side. Once he got up, he made way back into the kitchen. The two mare just watched still in their places. They listened to running water, scrubbing, clamor of dishes and the fridge open and close. They already guessed what that human was doing. That is, until they heard more clamor, a sign that fell out reading: [Insert Exposion Sound/Graphic Here]; and a roar.

Vinyl trotted on over to the door. "Just what the heck is going on in here?"

Justin looked over his shoulder and shrugged.

There was absolutely nothing out of place in Derpy's kitchen. It was like it was any other day. If any other day included a human in her kitchen. Yet, here he was, mixing some batter while a skillet lay on a stove nearby. Now where did he get that skillet? I don't think it mattered to Vinyl now, pancakes were involved, so, it must be good.

Justin just mixed away with a smile on his face. He then opted to go ahead and pour some of this pancake batter in the heated skillet. The smell and sound of the batter hitting the heated metal filled the room and quite possibly other rooms. Atleast he could sleep tonight, even thought technically nothing changed in the slightest bit here, Justin hasn't been getting a wink of sleep for the past non-existent five months, knowing that he finally is back with two mares that care for him deeply, and he care for them more than they would ever know.
