56 Stay
“I’m home,” you tiredly state as you stumble inside.
The lounge chair faces away from the door so you don’t notice Trixie’s presence until she pokes her head out from the side as she stuff her face with a floating sandwich.
“Oh, hey. It’s been a while.”
“Thanks for noticing,” you shrug as you toss aside your luggage.
“Where’d you go?” Trixie asks as she bites into her snack.
“The Mayor had me visit a few towns with her for the upcoming--Hang on, I told you this before I left?”
With a sharp exhale you slump onto the couch so your body can thank you for finally getting some rest. The past week has been long, and incredibly taxing. Mayor Mare is a slave driver some times, but it all pays off in the end.
“Even a mare so wise and wonderful as Trixie forgets things from time to time.”
“How was the trip?” Awkwardly asks a tiny voice beside you.
Beside you is the little terror of the twilight, the mischief-maker of the moon, also known as the ne’er do well of the night. She looks up at you curiously and your instinctively figure she’s up to something. Meanwhile you are completely unaware to her true goals and horror of her actual intentions.
“Long.”
Moonie waits before she snaps to the realisation that was all you were going to say.
“What, that’s it?”
“What are you expecting me to say? You’ve always found my work boring.”
“Well, not today. So bore away Anon!”
She cheerfully beams at you but you’re a little too tired to play along with that idea. So instead you slump over onto her.
“ANON!” She squeals and laughs while she struggles to get out from under you, “You’re really heavy.”
“Are you saying I’m fat?”
You wriggle as you try to put more weight into it. Moonie’s struggles get weaker as time goes on, eventually it’s just her hind legs that are stuck under you. So using her front legs to brace herself up, she glares at you.
“What?”
“Get up.”
“I’ve been slaving away for a whole week. I come home, positively exhausted and barely able to stand and you want me to move about after finally being able to rest?”
You sigh deeply, placing a hand on your forehead as you try to sound as dramatically miserable as possible
“You can be lazy all you want,” she groans while giving another unsuccessful heave, “just not on my legs.”
She uses her magic to grab the couch cushion your head was on to smother you with it. You decide that’s enough and roll sideways to free her. Moonie decides with her new found freedom to jump on top of you instead of fleeing to your surprise.
“Tell you what, because you’re so tired, why don’t I make dinner?”
She beams proudly at you.
“No!” You abruptly state while jolting upright.
You shove Moonie aside and make a quick dinner for two that you hand to Trixie and Moonie sitting at the table in waiting.
“Not eating?” The sloppy and piggy Trixie asks with a mouth full of food.
“Nah, I’m actually going to pass out. I’m seriously exhausted from everything. And don’t do that.”
Trixie mockingly opens her mouth to show what she was in the middle of chewing. Thankfully, Moonie uses her magic to shut it.
“Nobody wants to see that,” reels Moonie.
“Goodnight,” you say as you head off.
Lifting the covers, you slide into bed and begin dozing off. From what you can tell, it’s only a few minutes until Moonie creeps in. At this point you’re half asleep, barely even able to tell if it’s actually happening. Moonie softly flutters up onto the bed and looks at you closely.
“Hm,” she murmurs before curling up beside you.
Her back is pressed against yours so you can feel her warmth and steady breathing that you take a content comfort in as you fade the rest of the way into a dreamless slumber.

thanks for the new update X3
YES.
THIS IS STILL ADORABLE.
Awwwwwww! This was cute as heck, nice to see an update after so long.
Nicely done man!
Ahhhh. It's just so heartwarming to see moonie cuddling up with anon. Thank you for another beautiful chapter!
I wish I could add an oc to the story but oh well. The story is already great even without an oc to spice things up.
Damn it moonie is evil.
This story is dangerously cute.
D'awwww
I was hungry, but nothing was appealing to me. I decided to just forget the whole thing, so I brought up FiMFic and saw that this had updated. Trixie came in with a sandwich, and suddenly I knew what I wanted to eat. Thank you!
I love that there is a NOTICABLE character arc as Nightmare slowly grows accustomed to Anon. He starts as her warden, then her caretaker, then friend, and now she is starting to show some boarderline daughterly affection to him.
I am waiting to here her say those 4 magic words!~
I only have one gripe at this fic and it's something that I notice right away: The human is named Anonymous. Why can't you give him a name? It's a lazy trope for writers who can't come up with giving a human a name. Anonymous is an organization of internet hackers, not a green faced human with a question mark for features.
I would eagerly read this story as it looks like it would be a wonderful read. However, I can't read this when a character is called Anonymous. It ruins my immersion. There are few fics I've read with that name and over the course of time I've been a part of this wonderful site, I find naming a character (human or otherwise) Anonymous is boring and lazy. A writer puts a lot of time and effort into world building and character building and the best thing they can do is call the human Anonymous?
*sigh*
I wish you luck with this fic and you have obviously earned a steady following, but after reading the first chapter, I will not be following this story any longer.

I originally wrote these as green text stories on 4Chan. It's part of the culture there to leave out names in stories. Plus Anonymous is also a world famous poet and story writer. His quotes are everywhere as well.
Though I could easily change it and give him a more conventional name however I like Anonymous as it shows the stories roots a bit. So I won't be changing it, ever.
Personally I've always thought of it as only a name, never understood how it could be jarring. I could call him "Brick" or some other nonsense and it wouldn't take away from his personality. A name is a name.
However your opinions are your own and that's okay. Unfortunate it's so unimmersive for you but thanks for the wishes.
I....really like this.
Oh Moonie...

The magic words "Get off my legs!" ?
7740700 I believe, outside of the context of this chapter specifically, that that line belongs to our human friend.
7736606 hey bro don't listen to him the story is amazing plus I've been noticing that slot of people have been trying to heckle Anon stories and get them to change the main character's name Some of my favorite writers on this site don't write on fim any more because of it so keep up the awesome work and VIVA LA VI ANON!
ANON IS ONE, ANON IS ALL!
It's only a matter of time before she re/learns how to dream walk.
The Sloppy and Piggy Trixie.
What is this? The Maniacal and Malicious Moonie being thoughtful and caring???
...She's a changeling, isn't she?

I give you an upvote for the sake of it, I understand a part of the prolem you mentioned, I could wish for different things too, but at this point I probably won'T get to see that.
That's so precious. Awesome chapter
