//------------------------------// // 4: This light will shine upon a brand new day // Story: Dawn of The Ice King // by KingdomBrony16 //------------------------------// It has been a week since I’ve arrived on this planet and it has been a weird, really weird fucking week, not gonna lie. The first day I woke up in Ponyville was interesting. And by interesting I mean embarrassing followed by more embarrassing followed by getting new clothes. Seriously, waking up to Pinkie Pie sitting on your chest is embarrassing. Once I explained why I was blushing so intensely she got off and waited for me to put my clothes on and then we talked about why she was in my room. Turns out she wanted to know when she could hold my welcome to our world/Ponyville party. After that I discussed this event with Fluttershy and we agreed that I needed some clothes and since I didn’t want the town freaking out about me we decided to get rarity to come here and measure me and such. Let me tell you getting poked with needles are not fun, at all. But that was that, rest of the day I hung around the house getting to know what animals Fluttershy had. Yeah I fed them last night but not ALL of them so ha. The rest of the week was pretty uneventful; it was just spent buy getting to know the rest of the girls. They came to Fluttershy’s because they were waiting until my party to introduce me to the town. First up, outside of the morning wake up was Pinkie Pie, I spent a day with her at Fluttershy’s. I have to say… I like the pink mare, she’s hyper, she’s happy, and she laughs at my horrible jokes and I laugh at her horrible jokes. Needless to say we hit it off. Not gonna comment on the bodies cuz that’s a bit shallow… but Fluttershy and Pinkie had the best. Woot. Next up was Rarity, why those two first? Because of that first day, anyway, Rarity is ok. She’s proper and has great manners, so much so that I felt pretty inadequate being around her. She was elegant and graceful, but not the same way Fluttershy was, Rarity was elegant and graceful in a royal way. It was like she was supposed to be up there in Canterlot with the royals. But she also was very much hometown girl if you could break through that, of course to do that you have to be a bit rude… but let’s not talk about that shall we. Uh, well other than her poshness she was pretty cool, though she insisted on making me a suit, constantly, it was annoying. Speaking of, the way she whines is ughhhhh. I’m glad I wasn’t her parents. Then I got to know Apple Jack. She’s honest and really strong. Also, she cares a great deal about her family, which I respect. I’m not going to say we hit it off but we weren’t like at each other’s throats either. I’d say at most we were acquaintance-friends. Like I wouldn’t mind hanging out with her but I'm pretty sure she’d make me do way too much work so I’d rather hang with pinkie. Twilight and Spike were next. Twilight, simply put, is the world’s biggest nerd, and it’s fun. I appreciate her will to learn new things. What we don’t agree on is what to learn and how to learn it. She likes to learn everything and prefers to do it through books and testing. Me, I like to learn about like places, animals, languages. But I don’t want to learn it through books, and I don’t care about what it might do what, the water of this place, the blood of this animal, or what this language might help. I mean like good on her for wanting to learn all that, I don’t care I just want to discover and have the knowledge that I’ve discovered more. So we agree learning is good, but how to do so is a bit of a debatable point. Speaking of we like to debate with each other because it’s still learning something we didn’t know and it’s all in good fun and we know it. So, I’d hang out with Twilight and if she makes me doing experiments I better get to blow stuff up. Spike is a cool dude, I learned that he can bathe in lava and it feels like hot water to him, and also he can breathe a steady stream of green and purple fire, which is pretty bitching, it’s fire. He was also hatched when Twilight was 10 so that made him 11, pretty cool for an 11 year old, that’s also when Twilight got her cutie mark. I see Spike as a little brother type guy, and we agreed that if he needed someone to talk to about guy stuff, I’d be the once since I’m the only guy in Ponyville he has really talked to for more than 5 seconds. Hard living in a girl’s world ain’t it? Last pony I had to hang out with was Rainbow Dash. I can barely tolerate her, barely. All she does is brag about this and that and it gets to the point to where I wanted to rip my hair out. Of course I didn’t show it on the outside, I was being polite but internally I was smashing my head against a wall. If I had to say one thing I do like about her, it’s that she is fiercely loyal to her friends. That redeemed her quite a bit to me; I can be something of a friend to someone who puts their friends first since I am very much the same. She’s also just as lazy as I am if not lazier. All we did was lay on the grass in Fluttershy’s backyard and I listened to her talk and talk and talk. Rarity did the same thing but it wasn’t about herself and only herself. Ok that was mean Rainbow also talked about the Wonderbolts, this aerial stunt team that she adores with a passion. She offered to show me her flight moves and to get some quiet to think I agreed, and I’ll admit she’s a great flier and also really fucking fast. I live with Fluttershy I get to know her every day; she has quickly become my best friend on this world along with Celestia, who I write constantly. I might even tell them about my past some day, maybe. But that gets us to today, today is the day where I am introduced to the town, party day. ~-------------------~ I closed the journal I decided to keep while I was here and I stood up and stretched. It was 2 in the afternoon and it was time for a party, which was being held at town hall, which I’ve never seen since I stayed here all week. I looked in the closest that had several outfits that Rarity made within it. I pulled out a dark blue shirt that had cracks spanning it stitched in white thread, making it look like I was wearing a shirt made of cracking ice. I put on a pair of white jeans and some matching blue shoes. Not gonna lie I look good. I heard a knock at my door, “It’s unlocked.” The door squeaked open and in the doorway was Fluttershy, dressed and ready to go, “Are you ready?” “Yeah, I’m a bit nervous though, I don’t do well in parties or crowds and I do horrible with being the center of attention.” She nodded in understanding, “We’ll all be there with you, so if you start to feel overwhelmed you can just come to one of us.” I give her a smile, “I know, thanks Shy. Well let’s get this over with.” I turn my head to a ball of spikes sitting on my bed, “Hedgy, behave yourself and help Angel if he needs it.” I just got a nod back. Man I loved animals here, so intelligent. So we walked to the party, me in my cloak, I opened the door and saw that is was dark inside… great, surprise party. And as I finished that thought the lights turn on and the most ponies I have ever seen yell out surprise with Pinkie in the front. I can tell everyone is nervous, it wasn’t exactly a secret that I was in town it’s just no one has seen me except for the girls and spike. Now, I don’t do well in crowds but I also don’t do well with surprises. I was holding my chest taking slow deep breaths so my heart wouldn’t explode. Fluttershy noticed and asked if I was ok, I nodded my head before really calming down. “Ok, now I’m good.” I looked around and saw most of them realized something was wrong and had a hint of fear in their eyes, especially in the few children that were there, so I pulled my hood back, “Hey everyone, I’m uh…. Chris, thanks for coming to the party. I know you all might be a bit apprehensive about me since I’m an alien basically, but I hope to get each and everyone of you. And I hope you take the time to get to know me before casting judgment.” “See, I TOLD you he was a good human. Now, LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED RIGHT!” Pinkie yelled out and music started playing. I looked around and saw a white unicorn with electric blue hair at a DJ booth at the back of the barn. “Now that’s completely clashing with everything else….. I like it. So Flutters, what do you say we go and get some snacks?” I got no reply so I looked over and she was gone, “Great, I got ditched in a room full of ponies I don’t know. I suck at mingling, so I guess that means snack bar? Snack bar” I made my way over to the snack bar and saw mainly fruits and vegetables… friggin herbivores. I steeled my resolve and ate my greens, ugh, I hate vegetables. “How’re you likin the party partner?” Came a southern accent from behind me. I turned around expecting to see Apple Jack, instead I came face to face with a tall, very muscular, red stallion wearing a plaid shirt and some jeans. “Uh, It’s good though it’s only been like 15 minutes, haven’t left the snack bar though.” “Yeah, I noticed and I was wonderin why that was.” He said, grabbing a drink from a nearby table. I shrugged, “I don’t know, I just don’t do good with crowds or parties really. I don’t mind meeting new people…. Ur, ponies, but I’m also a bit shy about it.” I said rubbing my arm. “Ya sound a bit like Ms. Fluttershy but a bit more brave, no offense to her of course.” He said with a chuckle. “You know Flutters?” “Eeyup, she’s a good friend of my sister Apple Jack.” He said. I stood up a bit more straight, so he was AJ’s brother huh? “Oh, cool, older brother I’m guessing?” He nodded, “Name’s Big McIntosh, call me Big Mac or Mac.” He held out his hand. I looked at it and shook it, “I’m Chris McGrath, but just call me Chris. It was good meeting ya Mac.” “Likewise, now if you’ll excuse me I see a cute mare I’d like to talk to.” I looked off to his line of vision and saw a Magenta colored mare with two toned pink hair. She looked about the same age as Mac. I gave him a pat on the back, “Good luck buddy.” He just grunted in return and walked off. Not too shortly after someone else came up to me, this time a mare of mint green color. “Hiya!” She said in a chipper voice. “Uh, hi.” I said a bit nervous. “You’re a human right?” “Yeah, that I am.” Ok getting a bit freaked out now. “Cool, I’m Lyra Heartstrings, local musician and candy taste tester.” She said puffing out her chest looking proud. I cocked my head, “Local… candy… taste… tester?” “Yep, you see the mare over there with the purple and pink curly hair?” She pointed to said mare talking to Apple Jack. I nodded. “Well, she’s my wife, her name is Bon Bon and she owns a candy shop in town. She likes to experiment with making new sweets and things and of course being her other I get to taste test it to see what works and doesn’t. Pretty sweet gig don’t you think?” I laughed, “Hell yeah, I’m jealous, I wish I could just eat candy for a leaving, god knows I have a massive sweet tooth.” “Yeah, I like it too… say if you ever need a job or anything I can talk Bonnie into hiring you for a second opinion tester.” I was stunned, “You’d do that for me? Someone you just met?” “Yeah, I don’t see why not, you seem like a cool guy. In fact, I’ll send her your way later.” “Yeah sounds cool, thanks.” “Hey, it’s no big deal.” She took a drink and left, not without saying goodbye. It was about 2 and a half hours into the party when I heard a tomboyish voice behind me, it was still higher pitched and girly which let me know it wasn’t Rainbow Dash. So I turned around to see 3 younguns… fillies, I guess, standing next to each other. One had a big bow in her red hair and was an earth pony, the other had very curly two toned purple hair and was a unicorn, and the last one had slightly spiky short purple hair and was a Pegasus. “Hello, how may I help you three?” I said, bending down a bit. “You’re really tall.” Said the unicorn. “Not as tall as mah brother.” Imma call that one Blossom until I figure out her name. The other one is Bubbles so that leaves…… “Doesn’t look too cool though.” …... Buttercup. “So what do the Power Puff Girls want with me?” I asked stifling a laugh. Blossom looked confused, “What?” “Heh, nothing. I heard you say brother? And with that accent I’m guessing you’re related to Apple Jack and Big Mac?” She smiled, “Yep, I’m Apple Bloom, This is Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.” She said pointing to Bubbles and Buttercup respectively. “My big sister is Rarity, do you think she’s pretty?” Sweetie asked. Ok, that caught me off guard, “Yeah, she’s pretty.” “Do you like her?” What?..... “No, she isn’t my type.” “Oh, ok. I was just wondering.” She had an innocent smile. “Don’t worry ‘bout her, she asks every guy that for some reason.” Scootaloo said after punching Sweetie in the arm playfully. “I’m guessing you’re Rainbow Dash’s little sister?” “Ha, I wish, I’m her number one fan and president of her fan club.” He little wing buzzing with happiness, aw cute. “Be careful who you idolize kid. I’m guessing you’re parents and sisters are letting you stay up late cuz of the party?” “Yeah how did you know?” Apple Bloom asked. “I was your age too once, I know how we old people work and how much I wanted to stay up late even though it was a weekend. You three look Spike’s age though, so I’m guessing you have school on Monday?” “Yeah, and school is so boring. I wish I didn’t have to go.” Scootaloo said. “Well I like going to school, learning about things is fun.” Apple Bloom said causing Scootaloo to make a gagging noise. “Well I like going to school too even though I think it’s boring.” Sweetie said in a subdued voice. I looked at her curious, “And why is that Sweetie Belle?” She mumbled out, “Because I like being with my friends.” “Say that again, I didn’t hear you.” She sighed, obviously embarrassed, “I said, because I like being with my friends, we hang out outside of school but my friends make school bearable.” “Ewwwww, stop being so sappy Sweetie.” Scootaloo said pushing her making Apple Bloom laugh but Sweetie looked a bit disappointed, which didn’t go unnoticed by me so I decided to change the subject a bit. “So how did you three become friends?” I asked. Sweetie perked up, “Oh well…” So she told me how that they became friends because of a bully at there school kept teasing theme for not having cutie marks and that’s when they became the…. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!!!!” They yelled out simultaneously. Cute but oooooowwwwww my ears. “Cutie mark crusaders huh? I guess that means you do things that could make you get your cutie marks?” “Yep, we’ve tried everything from skydiving to zip lining.” Apple Bloom said obviously proud but also disappointed. In fact the all looked disappointed. I sat down on the floor and crossed my legs, “Girls, look, I feel like you will get your marks eventually, but don’t be sad about not getting them from everything you’ve done. You three have done more than a lot of kids and adults in my world have and you did it together as friends and had fun regardless of the outcome, so just keep doing what you’re doing, ok?” “Ew, you’re getting all sappy like Sweetie was, come on girls.” Scootaloo said turning around and walking off with Apple Bloom. Oy she was a bit too much like Rainbow. Sweetie stayed behind for a bit, “Sweetie?” I asked. “It was good meeting you Mr. Chris.” She said before turning around. I stopped her, “Hey, Sweetie, keep that attitude you have about friends ok? Those two might not realize it yet… but they care a lot about you too. You’re a lot like me with my friends yeah? So trust me when I say keep that attitude with friends, now go enjoy the party.” Her face lit up immensely before thanking me and running off to join her friends. “That was really kind of you.” A new voice said, I looked up and saw Lyra’s wife, Bon Bon. “Eh, I was like her when I was her age. Bon Bon right?” She nodded, “I’m Chris, and I met your wife earlier.” I stood up held out my hand and she shook it. “Yes, I know, she wouldn’t stop talking about you and asked me to come talk to you… saying something about being an extra taste tester or something.” She said sighing. “I’m guessing she does this a lot?” “This specifically? No, stuff like this? Oh you have no idea, I love her with all of my heart though.” She said a bit dreamily. “I can tell. Can I ask a question? It’s about your marriage, if that’s ok.” She looked confused, “Sure, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be.” “Well, that already answers most of it. On my world, some t of it, same sex marriage is banned if not looked down upon.” I could see her visibly bristle, “Are you saying there is something wrong with me and Lyra being together?” I gulped, “No no no, just the opposite. You two look very good together and I encourage it. It’s just I’m glad this world doesn’t have that problem. Sorry, if I implied anything else.” Her stance relaxed, “No it’s ok, sorry for over reacting. Why would that make you happy though?” “Hmmmm… I’ll tell you at another date if we become better friends.” I said. “Alright that’s fair, so about this whole taste tester thing, I could use another one. Lyra, despite being a good tester keeps away from most things sour or bitter or tart but I know some ponies like bitter and sour things too. But Lyra and I don’t at all.” She said looking down. “And you need someone who likes eating bitter and sour things right? But not many ponies can tolerate a lot of bitter or sour things then?” I asked. She nodded, “Ponies are more tolerant of sugary things. Sour and bitter are a bit of a luxury and an acquired taste.” “So why would you consider making them anyway?” “Well there are more than ponies in Equestria, and I ship my candy out across all of the world so the amount ponies would be willing to pay is nice. Griffins in particular like bitter candy and Minotaur love sour candy but getting a hold of both of them to taste test is really difficult, that and I can’t split the money between 4 ponies even with the extra money coming in.” “Hmmmm….” “I understand if you don’t want to… I mean I don’t know why I or Lyra thought humans could have anything sweet or bitter, buck, it might actually even be poisonous to you. Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t think about that and-“ I held my hand up, cutting her off, “Calm down, its fine. Humans can have bitter and sour things, some even prefer it to sweet, and I am one of those. I may have a massive sweet tooth but I prefer bitter, sour and tart things, so I’d be happy to accept your offer. That is if you’re offering.” I had a sly smile. “REALLY?!.... Ahem, I mean, that’s great. When can you start?” She asked obviously happy. “Whenever you say I can.” “So Monday a week from now?” She asked. I nodded, “Monday a week from now.” “Oh this is great, ok be there by 8 AM. I have to go tell Lyra, Thank you so much.” She kissed me on the cheek before taking off with a skip in her step. I was standing there with a blush. “Smooth big guy.” Ok that voice was way more tomboyish than Rainbow Dash. And it belonged to the DJ. “Sup, name’s Vinyl Scratch, stage name is DJ PON3.” “Hey my name’s Chris.” I held out a hand only to be pulled into a bone crushing hug. “Can’t… breathe…” She let go of me laughing, “Sorry bout that big guy. So, why’re ya standing over at the bar all by yourself instead of getting down on the dance floor with every pony else?” I laughed, “Two reasons for that, I can’t dance and I don’t do well in crowds or as the center of the attention.” “Well then I guess you came to the wrong party. Ahhhh I’m pulling your chain everyone enjoys parties a bit different. Me, I like being up front make people jump while feeling the beat. It’s a good way to party, that and getting drunk. Hey, how about you let me get you a drink.” She said gesturing to the table. “You know that’d work better if these were actually at a bar and you had to pay for them.” “Ha, right? Still, how bout a drink… actually how old are ya?” She asked. “20 and still aging.” I said. “Ah Celestia damn it, not old enough, sucks bro.” She said picking up a drink and chugging it down. “Eh, it’s cool, I don’t plan on drinking when I’m old enough to anyway.” “Come on, why not? That’s like that best part man.” “I have my reasons, let’s just leave it at that.” I waved it off. She nodded, “I can understand that, well if you change your mind call me or just come to my house, yeah?” She handed me a piece of paper that had a number and address…. They had phones here? “I uh… yeah, sure thanks.” I could help but notice her outfit, it was pretty revealing and by pretty revealing I mean she was wearing a bra, a tattered vest and some torn shorts that were down enough to see the straps of her underwear. “See something you like big guy?” She winked. “I uh… sorry, I didn’t mean…” She smirked “Hahahahaha, it’s cool dude, I get stares all the time. I may not have boobs like Fluttershy over there or an ass like Apple Jack but I can still rock what I’ve got.” “I’ll say… I mean, yeah.” I was blushing furiously. She punched me on the arm, “I like you, you’re cool and easy to embarrass. Was awesome meeting you big guy, but I gotta go back to the music. Remember what I said, come find me if you change your mind or just want to have some fun. Also I like your outfit dude.” I took my cloak off after talking to Big Mac, ” She turned around and flicked my side with her tail while laughing. “Oh god, there are two of them…. Ugh.” I leaned against the wall and enjoyed the rest of the party. I got to know a lot more ponies but there were so many names I hardly remember them all. As the party came to an end the girls came up to me. “So, how’d you like my party Chrissy?” Pinkie asked bouncing up and down. Why does she always bounce? I poked her arm, “It was fun, Pinkie, but I didn’t expect anything less from the number one party pony. Any party you throw feel free to invite me first. And that’s saying a lot since I’m not much of a fan of parties.” She poked my arm back, it was something we started on the day we hung out, don’t ask it’s a Pinkie thing. “YAY! Now I can throw a lot more parties without worrying if you’ll like them.” She flashed that signature Pinkie Smile. I turned to Apple Jack and Rarity, “I met your sister’s as well.” “Oh I hope they didn’t bother you too much Darling. Those three always cause a heap of trouble.” She said rubbing her temples. “Now come on Rares it was a party and it went pretty well for a Pinkie party. Mac also told me he saw ya too Chris.” AJ said. “Yeah, I like the big guy. Though he did leave to go after this Magenta colored mare.” I said. “Eeyup, he’s been tryin to get with Ms. Cheerilee for a while now.” She said with a smile. “Well I wish him luck. And Rainbow I met your number one fan.” I directed to the Rainbow tornado. “She’s cool ain’t she?” She asked as proud as ever. “Yep, pretty cool indeed. She admires you a lot, don’t let her down.” “Ha, I never let my fans down.” I nodded respectfully. “I didn’t see you two, Flutters and Twi, at all during the party.” “Sorry, that was my fault, I needed Fluttershy to talk about some things that I had to do with my pet owl. I didn’t mean to snatch her away from you like that.” Twilight said. “Eh, it’s fine, but I’m surprised that took all party.” “Oh it didn’t I was just caught up in writing a letter to the Princess and such.” “Oy, well I wouldn’t expect anything different. But everyone has fun their own way I suppose. What about you Flutters?” “Eep! I mean… well, I did come back to find you but I saw that you were talking to every pony just fine so I decided to just let you have some fun and talk with out me there to make things awkward.” She said shifting slightly. “Aw, come one Flutters you could never make anything awkward for me. I would’ve loved to have my best friend there. Never assume you could make anything awkward ok?” I put my hands on her shoulders and squeezed softly and she just nodded. “Ooooooooo Chris and Flutters sitting in a tree K I S S I N G!” Pinkie said with her trademark giggling. “Pinkie dear, I’m sure they’re just friends.” Rarity said, but it was very easy to tell she was trying not to laugh as well. It didn’t stop anyone else but you know it’s the thought that counts. “Well damn, are you all gonna ship us now?” I asked a bit annoyed, “Ship you? What in tarnation are you talking about?” AJ said through her laughter. “Shipping, on my world means pairing to people up who you’d think would be a cute couple. Like for example if I thought Twilight and Apple Jack would be a cute couple I would ship you two together and come up with a cute pair name like ‘AppleLight’ or something like that.” I explained. “Oh, then yeah we are shipping you.” Apple Jack said “FlutterGrath, ChrisShy, FlutterChris,…. OH OH OH WAIT! McShy!” Pinkie said laughing even more. I face palmed and groaned, “Oh god… I am so sorry Flutters.” Fluttershy was blushing hard and hiding behind me, “N-no, it’s ok…. I don’t really mind.” She said that last part only to where she could hear it or so she thought. The laughter died down after a few minutes “Alright well that’s enough of that, I’m tired and I wanna go to sleep.” Twilight looked at her watch, “Wow, it is late, I have to get going too, I have to be up early tomorrow if I wanna be on schedule.” She left and we all shook our heads. Pinkie just up and disappeared in an explosion of confetti and we just agreed not to question. Rainbow left not needing an excuse to sleep more, Rarity left saying something about getting a project done. Flutters and I left Apple Jack with her saying she had to get up early to get back to work. Fluttershy and I were walking back home and she was holding on to my arm and was really close to my side, I didn’t mind honestly, it was nice. “I’m glad you enjoyed the party.” She said suddenly. “Yeah, well it would’ve been better if you were with me ya know. I’m not mad, don’t think that, but like I said I like having you around, you put up with me living with you and you’re my best friend I enjoy my friends.” I pat her head and she nodded. We got to the house and went to our respective rooms to sleep, Hedgy was asleep on my bed already. I was too tired to fully change so I just took off everything except for my underwear, I learned from last time, and got under the blankets. A few hours later I was awoken from a knock at my door. I rolled over and saw Fluttershy standing in the door way, in the moonlight. Wait she looked scared and worried, “Hey, are you ok?” She shook her head. I sat up and patted the spot next to me. She came and sat down and laid her head on my shoulder, “What’s wrong?” “I... I had a night mare. I know I’m too old to be having night mares, please don’t laugh.” She said her voice shaky. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer, “I would never laugh, I have night mares myself even at 20. You wanna talk about it?” She shook her head again. “That bad?” She nodded. “Uhm… this might sound embarrassing or weird, but if it’s ok with you, can I sleep in here with you? I can sleep on the floor if it’d bother you. I just don’t want to be alone just in case.” “No, its fine, you can sleep in the bed with me.” “Are you sure? It won’t be weird or anything?” “A little but you had a bad dream that obviously shook you up a lot. I don’t know about you but when I have bad dreams like that I can’t go back to sleep without being close to someone.” I pulled my legs back into bed, pulled the cover over and scooted over. “Come on and lay down.” She laid down with her back face towards me, I turned around so I was facing the door instead of the wall like I normally to, and so we were back to back. “Can… can you hold me?” She said a bit too quietly. “What? I couldn’t hear you.” “I asked… c-could you hold me, if it isn’t too much.” “I don’t….” “Please….” Her voice shuddered again. I gave her a soft smile and turned around and wrapped an arm around her pulling her close but not close enough to where our bodies were fully touching, “Is this ok?” She hummed, obviously happier, “Yes, that’s fine. Thank you.” She scooted closer so that whole not body touching thing was remedied. “You know I love you right?” I said softly. She gasped, “W-what?!” “I… that came out wrong… I-I meant that I love you like you know a really good friend hehehe…” Or is it more? I don’t know, I don’t want to feel that again. “Oh… well good night.” She sounded disappointed…. Damn it. “Yeah night, Flutters, wake me up if you have another nightmare.” “Ok… and I love you too.” She said. I just nodded and closed my eyes falling asleep.
