A Sunset For My Life.

Chapter 3. Our First Morning.

Slowly consciousness returns to me as the mornings light floods in through the large glass doors of my balcony almost always hitting me right in the face when the sun comes up above the horizon fully. At first my mind rationalizes what happened the night before as having been a dream until I notice a weight on my chest. Knowing I don't have any pets my eyes open, to be greeted by the sight of a red, yellow and amber ball on my chest. I resist the urge to daww knowing that last night actually happened instead choosing to simply lay there watching as little Sunset's chest slowly rises and falls. Eventually though nature calls and I do have to move her which I do ever so carefully placing her down upon her pillow/cushion the sweet thing doesn't even wake up just shifts a little before resuming what looks like a calm and peaceful sleep. After doing what I must for the morning I come back over sitting down just watching little Sunset sleep.

After almost an hour of just watching this tiny little bundle of fur and hair she finally begins to stir, first stretching out her limbs before letting out a tiny little yawn that almost has me squeeing. Once her eyes are open she looks right at me before pouncing my face giggling. 'note to self she can really jump' I think as I stroke her mane and giggle with her. After a few moments she lets go of my face almost seeming to melt into my arms on her back. I gently scratch her belly which makes her make the cutest sound ever, sort of like a cross between a coo and a purr. I actually daww when she makes this sound getting her to giggle again before she begins to squirm against my arm.

"Hmm seems like someone might need to use the bathroom huh" Sunset nods eagerly crossing her hind hooves. "Such an intelligent little girl aren't ya" I say as I carry her to the bathroom holding her over the toilet as she does her business. When she is done I help her get clean and take her back out to the living room where her belly immediately begins to rumble. "Hmmm hungry already huh"

Sunset rubs her belly looking up at me with her big green eyes and my heart just melts and I swear I can feel it flow right out of my chest and into my feet. Without any hesitation I quickly go and grab her what little i have left in the way of fresh greens placing them before her which she somehow uses her hooves to hold as she eats. Once she is done eating I take her back to the bathroom using my own rarely used toothbrush to brush her teeth forgoing toothpaste for now instead going for just some baking soda and water, along with a bit of pure heavily concentrated almost syrup strawberry juice for flavor which I usually keep for putting with ice cream, just to keep it from being some horrible flavor experience for her. I let her sit in the sink with a small bit of water as I brush her teeth and she is content to splash about in it while I do. Figuring I have the chance, I fill up the sink to her waist and pull out a bottle of shampoo and some soap deciding I should get her cleaned up not knowing how long she had been out there for. Once again she is just perfect letting me work the soap slowly into her coat, then rinse it out, then going on to shampoo her mane letting it sit as i let her have some fun splashing in the warm water before rinsing it out. After I have her clean I decide to just let her play a bit longer letting her splash about even splashing her softly both of us eventually devolving into complete giggles as water gets everywhere.

After awhile I empty what's left of the water from the sink before toweling her off very well leaving her a big amber puff ball with red and yellow along the top. I cant help myself but daww at this before I grab a brush getting her back to her cute little self. Soon after that I decide to place her on the couch turning on my desktop computer which loads up after a few minutes. Once it has loaded I quickly put on a movie for her thanking my love of children's movies for my large collection of them. I smile as she watches enraptured as the movie Wall-E begins to play. I move over to my laptop turning it on. I smile as the only world that makes sense to me comes online and I load up the internet. Once online I begin to go through forums, blogs etc anything and everything i can for mentions of colorful unicorns. The only thing I really find is mention of a show that got cancelled after its first season. With a sigh I give up on the main routes and go into the not so main ones using the skills I have acquired mostly through self exploration and the several computer courses I took in high school.

Almost an hour later after looking into many conspiracy sites and black room chats having finding nothing I let out a defeated sigh. Looking over I see that the movie is just about over and I go back over to little Sunset who hasn't even moved. I chuckle and sit next to her not even getting a reaction until its over the reaction being her happy squeals of joy. Noticing me she crawls into my lap looking up at me.

"Obots apy ada" I smile at her and nod my heart melting at the sheer adorableness.

"Yes sweety the robots are happy" I say picking her up and snuggling with her getting more squeals of joy from the tiny amber unicorn. I place her back on my lap taking the mouse for my computer in one hand as I look down at her. "Wanna watch another Sunset" Her smile is all I need to put on another movie before laying out with her cuddled up on my chest as we both watch.
