The Milk

It was early in the morning when the orange colored pegasus woke up. She was smacking her lips, her mouth feeling dry. Milk, she thought as she slugged out of bed and walked down the hallway. Clearly her roommate wasn't up yet, because her door was still closed, that was a good thing since her roommate was a bit odd. A bit? No, totally odd. As she made her way into the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator and grabbed the milk. She was going to do pour it like a waterfall which was also considered drinking it from the jug. When she tilted her head back and leaned the milk jug over, nothing came out. "WHAT?!",Dusk Cloud yelled in anger as she threw the jug across the kitchen and with powerful wings, flew down the hall way and into her roommate's room. She used her hind legs to kick the pony awake. "Who in the hay do you think you are?!" she shouted, “Who puts an empty milk jug back in the refrigerator?”

Sparkle Cupcakes glanced at Dusk Cloud, "Well to be honest I don't know where I came from." I stated. Dusk Cloud blew steam, "Not where you’re from? What in the name of Celestia does that mean? Who you think you are!??!!" She exclaimed. The pale blue mare rolled on her tummy and started kicking up her short pale blue hooves, "Silly me!! I'm Sparkle Cupcakes!!" Dusk groaned, "I'm sick of you acting like a filly all the time," she muttered. Sparkle smoothed down her bouncy cotton candy and lilac colored hair, clumsily falling off the mattress. She regained her balance, "Stay out of the fridge if it's not yours!!" she giggled, "I made delicious tasty mourgent watering Cupcakes!!" She shouted, throwing her arms in the air for affect.

Dusk glared at the perky pony. Sometimes she was just too happy. "You didn't have to leave the empty jug in the fridge!" the orange mare shouted once more. Sparkle cocked her head to the side before giggling again. "Well you should have checked!" Dusk snorted and sat down staying quiet for awhile, leaving the room silent. The mare then grew a smirk on her face. "Cupcakes you said?" she asked. "Yup!" the cotton haired pony answered with a proud nod. She never was that bright, Dusk thought. The pegasus then made a mad dash for the kitchen, about to eat those delicious tasty mourgent watering cupcakes to teach her a lesson. One that she wouldn’t forget.

Sparkle watched in amazement as Dusk made a mad dash for the kitchen, Woe, she must have been real hungry, she wondered. So she bounced down the staircase after her. As she made her way into the kitchen, there was a huge mess all over the counter, she cocked her head sideways... what is the mare up to? She bounced around to the kitchen table where there was a light orange part of the wall. Out the corner of her eye she noticed dark red hair; Dusk Cloud is stuffing her face my wonderful sparkled cupcakes!?? "Hey Dusk Cloud...." ,she began as the pegasus looked up at her with a smirk, "Are they tasty!! Huh huh!! Are they!???!! Ooooo, I think we could give each other nicknames then we could be the Best of friends." Sparkle had a huge grin plastered on her face. This simple action wouldn’t ruin her mood.

What? She isn’t even mad! Dusk swallowed the last cupcake and looked at her with a glare. Why isn’t she mad? Shaking her head she stared at the ground. "I call you Sparkle, don't I?" the pegasus mumbled, taking a rag in her hoof and wiping her face as she flapped her wings a bit angrily in frustration. "Oh, yeah!”, she said with a giggle, raising her hoof to her mouth. The pale blue earth pony smiled, "How about, hmm, Dusky!" Dusk raised a brow, "No, just Dusk please. No Dusky! Cloudy! Or sama llama ding dong! It’s bad enough the landlord made us share this place. What kind of landlord does that?” Dusk sat up and wiped the frosting out of her dark red spiked mane. "Hahaha! Sama llamas ding dong! That's just silly!" the happy mare snorted.

The earth pony snorted, "Ding dong, I crack myself up!!" She exclaimed before she fell out, rolling all over the floor. "Hey Dusky!?" Sparkle began before the pegasus interrupted her. She groaned, "Just call me Dusk." “I think this could be the start of a great friendship between us, maybe one day we can go to the park and share snozberries!! Umm, I love snozberries. Ooo can we go shopping!!.??" she asked. "NO!!" Dusk stated. Sparkle giggled, “We’re going be besties forever!!!”

She pushed away the pale blue mare, “Please don’t touch me.” Sparkle let go for a moment, giving off a wide smile. Why is she always smiling like that? She looks like a fool, Dusk thought as she opened the refrigerator. It wasn’t much that was inside, just then the pegasus felt her stomach rumble loudly. “I can make that noise too! Ragahgaha!” she spat out, mimicking Dusk’s stomach. “Maybe we do need to go to the store,” Dusk muttered. “Road Trip!” Sparkle shouted as she tackled the orange pegasus to the floor. Dusk let out a scream as she was tackled to the floor. “Can we go to the market in the next town? Please o’ please!” the mare pleaded, giving her wide puppy like eyes. That’s creepier than it should be, Dusk thought as she stared at the mare that was practically on top of her. “Only if you stop hugging me,” Dusk ordered with a glare. Sparkle launched herself off the pegasus and began bucking her back legs in the air, “Yes! Yes Yes! Yes!” Dusk Cloud just stared at the pony with a non-amused look before placing her hoof on her forehead with a sigh, “You act just like a filly. Come on, we better get going then.”
