Attack of the Filler: Pure Romance

With gleeful smile, Kitty bent down to pick a flower from a garden. It was actually a weed, but she still looked hella cute doing it. We had been stuck here in Black’s old town on what I.D. calls a furlough. Didn't know what that was, but one things for sure; it was boring. See, with the shit that went down on the ship, we needed to solve our navigation issue. With no demon with ulterior motives steering the ship, the Sheytan needed a serious tune-up. To that end, Black had dry docked us in his hometown, to the annoyance of his dad, Shepard. I didn't know what was going on between those two, and I didn't care. All I knew was, Boom and I were bored as hell.

With this being such a small village, there wasn't any expendable property. Meaning, we had a new blast powder mix and nothing to test it on. So, that being said, Boom did what she always did when she got bored; drink her brains out. Me, I prefer to keep a clear head at all times. Someones got to watch her when waving around explosives while plastered. Last night had been a particularly good night for her, meaning she was fast asleep in the small shack we were given for the period of our stay, with a sheep she picked up. Gross.

Not wanting to deal with the smell of sex, I ran out as soon I woke up. Hey, when you grow up around a girl who likes to make explosions, you become a heavy sleeper out of necessity! So when I barged out and left the door open. You know, to let the love birds get a breath of fresh air... Or catch a cold.

But the moment I came out, I spotted the cutest sight ever. Kitty, being as bored as we were, was going around the gardens in front of houses, picking flower at random. She had hit six houses, and most of the sheep were none too happy. I just...Couldn't stop staring at her. It was weird, up until this point we just never really had any time to notice, what with all the fighting we get into.

I was so into my creepy staring that I didn't even feel Boom tapping my shoulder the first time. Instead of tapping me again, she punched my neck. I screamed and turned to see an angry Boom. Her formerly spiky hair was matted down to her head by sweat. “Mornin’ wanker. Ya trying to give me cold? Leaving the door open like that,” she whined, rubbing her eye.

I snorted and turned back to Kitty to find her gone. “Dammit Boom, you made me lose her,” I groaned.

Boom sniffed. “Lose who?” She asked, her nose already getting stuffy.

“Er, um. No one,” I replied quickly.

Boom looked at me skeptically and didn't notice when Kitty slammed next to her. That didn't surprise me. What was surprising was the fact that she had landed on her head and had snapped her neck. Her ear was to the ground and the rest of her body stood stiff as if she was fresh vegetable ready to be picked. Celestia, that sounded creepy.


Her left eye stared up at me and she started giggling like a little filly. “You both look so funny,” she said still giggling.

I bent down and took her head in my hooves and chuckled. “You look funnier.”

AND THEN THEY FUCKED.

THE END.

“What the fuck just happened?” Boom asked to seemingly no one as she heard the ball slapping sex happening behind her.
