> Unforgettable Memories > by 23 KM To Nerdiness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Cuddle Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You sure you got it this time?" "I got it, Kobe. This is a surprise, I just gotta remember what the secret ingredient was. It was red, what was red......tomato? No, I already added that. Bell pepper? Urgh..." Local human, Kobe, sat back in his chair in the dining room, watching his special somepony, Forgetful Memories, stare at a red strand of yarn delicately tied around her floofy hoof while preparing dinner. "You sure?" he asked. "It's my mother's special recipe," the pegasus pouted, staring daggers at the yarn. "It is in my smol pony genes to remember her recipe!" "I know that, but I feel bad for just sitting around and let you struggle with-" "PAPRIKA!!!" she squeaked. "The secret ingredient was PAPRIKA!" "Welp, it's not a secret recipe anymore." Kobe giggled. "Bet the whole neighhhhhborhood heard that one." "Ha ha, your pony puns are hysterical." The sarcastic pegasus flew up to a high cabinet and grabbed a small bottle of paprika and mixed it with her mystery dish. "Close your eyes for me, sweetums." she said sweetly, shuffling into the dining room with her surprise special. "Okie dokie then." Kobe nodded, following her instructions. There, the bouncy pegasus plopped down two large festive bowls filled with a vast assortment of beans, cheese, seasonings, tomatoes, rice and carrots on the table. And with a generous sprinkle of paprika. "May I present, Mama Thoughts' famous taco bowls!" Forgetful squeed as Kobe opened his eyes. "Now with a lovely Forgetful touch." "What touch is that?" "Love, of course!" "Awwwww, I dunno what to say. That I'm touched, or that that was cheesier than this Fiesta blend you topped this off with." "Oh, hush," Forgetful pouted playfully, trotting toward her seat across from Kobe. "You know you crave my cooking, sweetheart." "Meow." two cats squeaked, brushing up against Kobe's leg. "Your fur babies seem to appreciate it too, it seems." he said, taking a bite of his meal. "Nnnno! This is my bowl, girls." "Mew!" "I said nnnno, Aqua!" "Hissssss!" "Same for you, Sasha!" Swinging their tails in a huff, the fur babies scurry off. "Cooking is my thang!" Forgetful stated cockily, nibbling her food with a cheeky grin. "Both hoomans and animals adore my culinary creations, ha ha ha!" "One of many reasons why I wuv you." "Hmm. I......I am sorry that you have to deal with my flighty flank. I know I can be a bit clumsy at times." The pegasus hung her head low, mane covering her face. Kobe chuckled, wiping bits of mushed tomato off his lip. Rising from his seat, he kneels down eye-level beside the embarrassed mare. He smiles, resting his hand against the mare's soft cheek and lifting her chin up to meet his gaze. "Do you hear me complaining?" he asked, leaning in to kiss her forehead before booping her nose. "I suppose not." she hummed, scrunching up her muzzle playfully. "Nopony's perfect, we all have our quirks. I didn't fall in love with you 'cuz of your cooking or your looks. Your imperfections are what makes you you, and I care for my angel baby." "Oh, Kobe..." "Who's the best boo ever?" "Um......you?" "Eenope, try again." "Awww, can't be me. I be just a silly smol mare." "A silly, smol mare I cherish very much." Grateful, Forgetful laid her head upon the human's shoulder with a smile as he tied the red strand of yarn around her mane. "You always know how to make a mare feel special." she sighed blissfully. "I try, cutie." Kobe uttered, playfully digging through the pony's poofy hair. "You're special to me." "Eep! What are you doing, goof?" "Trying to find the li'l chef in that mane. It's in there somewhere, I know it!" "Hee, you and your hooman movies." Forgetful giggled, nuzzling up under her boo's arm. "So adorkable." "You adore me though." Kobe hummed, leaning in to nibble on her ear. "Mmmm, I do......I really do." The sly human lightly tugged on her fluffy twitching ear, sending shivers up her spine. Kobe pulled up a seat beside the mare mid-nibble and moves closer, kissing down her warm neck. "Sweetie," the panting pegasus muttered. "I have to tell you something. It's rather important." "Oh, really? What's up?" With a cheeky smile, Forgetful leaned in to whisper in his ear. "I love you." On that sweet note, she slinked back, staring up at her man's blushing face. She slowly stands in her seat and crawls over the table, closing distance before giving him a slow peck on the lips. Her majestic wings curled up in delight as she wrapped her hooves around her man's neck, further deepening the kiss and sitting up in his lap. Kobe softly brushed a hand through her colorful mane, holding her close in his firm embrace. The fires of passion fully lit, the two delicately break the kiss and stared into each other's eyes. "Mmm, taco kisses." Kobe snickered. "The best kind of kisses." Forgetful purred, resting a hoof on his chest. "Follow me, hon." The quirky mare fluttered her wings, helping her boo to his feet and guiding him to the living room. As they entered, Forgetful sat Kobe down on the couch and plopped into his lap once more. "I want you to cuddle me." she stated dreamily. "Cuddle me real good." "As you wish, my queen." Forgetful giggled happily as Kobe wrapped her in a tender bear hug from behind, gently nuzzling a cheek against her blushing face. The pegasus' love for her hooman had ignited her craving for cuddles. Kobe continued the neck kissies on his lady, laying down with her on the couch and gently massaging her fuzzy belly. "Mmph!" she panted softly. "That feels so good." "Did an awesome possum pony enjoy her dinner tonight?" Kobe cooed. "Oh, yesssss. A l-little higher, please..." Kobe brushed his massages up from her belly to her chest, losing his hand in a sea of fluff. "You're so soft." Kobe sighed, squeezing his best pony in a passionate huggle. "I'm so lucky to have you." "No, I'm the luckiest one!" the breathless pegasus gasped. "I am." "Nuh uh, I am!" "Like to see ya prove it." "Then bring dat mouth here, boy!" Dare now set in motion, the stubborn pony twists around and leaps atop the surprised human, pinning him down with a long, passionate kiss. Moaning against her lips, Kobe gives into her sweet affection and falls back, smooched into submission. Not willing to let her win, he rubbed up to her ears, giving each a light scratching and earning a pleased sigh from the pony. "Oooooh......n-not fair!" "You all cuddled out?" Forgetful whips her hair back with a devilish grin. "You're in for it, cutie." she chuckled, ferociously continuing their make out session. "I love you so much!" Kobe exclaimed in between smooches. "I love you more!" Forgetful squeed, wrapping her tail around his leg. "I love you most!" "Hold me close, bae!" The two lovers embraced like there was no tomorrow, letting their feelings for each other run buck wild. Sparks flew, love blossomed, snuggles INTENSIFIED. Until finally, it was done. There rested two goofs, cozy in each other's company and as snug as a bug in a rug. After a minute or two of recovering, Forgetful faces her love, resting her head upon his chest. "Hey, boo?" she said. "Yes, lovebug?" Kobe answered. "Cuddled out yet?" "Yup. How about you?" "Yeah. And one more thing?" "Hmm?" "Can you promise me something?" "What's that?" "Promise you'll never forget me." Kobe looked down at the mare as she peacefully drifted off to sleep. "I promise. No doubt about it." > Picture Perfect > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLICK! "Perfect shot!" It was a crisp spring afternoon, as Forgetful ventures out in Ponyville Park equipped with her trusty camera and dorky human. Pride flourishing, the quirky mare pocketed a well-shot picture of a surprised bunny resting in a flower patch. "Thankies, little one," she giggled, reaching into a pouch with her wing. "Have a piece of lettuce." The giddy critter snatched the piece and scurried off as the kind pegasus waves it off happily. "I love socializing with animals as much as the next human," Kobe said. "But why are you snapping photos of them?" "I already told you, silly," she giggled. "It's for my fur baby photo album! I gotta hone my artistic style here." Kobe reached into one of Forgetful's pouches to examine the fat stack of photos featuring images of the park critters laying about with a look of confusion and awe. "I see..." The sneaky pony crouched down against the grass, crawling toward a squirrel digging up it's stash of walnuts. "That's right," she whispered, clutching her camera. "It's okies, you're a good li'l squirrely. I am not gonna hurt you, I just wanna get a li'l picture of ya." "Um, boo? Did you remember to turn off the flash on the cam-" CLICK! A flash of light temporarily blinded the poor critter. "Ah, there we go." Forgetful sighed gratefully. "Thankies, little one!" The angry squirrel picked up one of it's walnuts and chucked it at the pony's nose with an annoyed squeak. "Ow!" she squealed, rubbing her face. "That wasn't very nice!" "Yeah, that was quite nutty if you ask me." "Hon?" "Eeyup?" "What goes on inside your head?" "Things you couldn't comprehend, love..." "Hmph." With an adorkably scrunched nose, Forgetful prepped her camera as she flapped and flopped her wings to take flight up a nearby tree to target a pigeon perched upon a branch. "Come on......graceful now," she muttered to herself, struggling to maintain balance and the camera's focus. "You can do this. Just stay still so I could- AH!" The bird took off past her, and PLOP! went the startled pegasus, clumsily landing on her flank. Kobe catches the camera as she attempt to brush the leaves out of her mane. "Oi, I guess I got a li'l too into it?" she chuckled sheepishly. CLICK! "No worries," Kobe stated, presenting a picture to the pegasus. "I got the best image of this cutie." Forgetful leaned close to examine the photo. There in the human's hand was an image of the exhausted pegasus with an embarrassed smile and dirt on her fur. "Aw, horsefeathers!" she frowned playfully. "I look frumpy!" "You do not look 'frumpy', silly. You're a cutie!" "Nuuuuu, you're the cutie!" "That is a false lie." "Darn straight!" "That technically makes it true, so HA!" "D'oh! Just hush those hooman lips and wuv me!" Forgetful shook the dirt off her and leaps into her man's arms, lightly smooching his cheek. "Yes, my fur baby." Kobe hummed, snuggling her lovingly. > In Sickness and In Health > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, sweetheart. Open up." "Mmm mmm..." "If you wanna get better, ya have to work with me here and have some soup." In the dimly lit bedroom lied a sick Forgetful, stubbornly turned her head away from the warm meal offered by Kobe at every angle. "Don't be gwumpy." Kobe cooed. "I no want it," she huffed. "I refuse to eat chicken soup, I told you. It sounds nasty and bleh and I no want it!" "...it's carrot soup, ya goof." "Mmph......okies." Forgetful pouts as she is fed her healthy serving. "There we go, boo. Is that good?" "It's nummy." she mumbled, crossing her arms. "Heh, what was that? I couldn't hear ya." "It's nummy, silly." "Thank you. Only the best for my baby lady, even when she's gwumpy." "I'm not gwumpy, I just seepy." "I know, sweetheart. I'll let you rest once you finish eating." "Okies. Thankies for taking care of me, cutie. Love you." "Love you too. It's no prob...n-no......Ah-CHOO!!!" The room went silent as Kobe's sneeze echoed throughout the house. "Ah, dang." he winced, wiping his face. "Hee, don't be so glum, chum." Forgetful giggled. "Why not?" The giddy pegasus scooted to the other side of the bed, holding out her hooves warmly. "I could use some cuddles right now." she squeed. "Now packed with a healthy dose of vitamin K." "Girl, you need some Osmosis Jones in your life." Kobe pouted playfully. "You know you want tooooooo..." "Hmph, maybe I do, maybe I don't." "Come ooooooon, we can share the nummy soup." "Well...it is nummy. I made it after all." "Using my ingredients, dork." Forgetful leaned over and guided her hesitant hooman into her arms on the cozy mattress, nuzzling his cheek with a happy sigh as he bundles up beside her, nummy soup in hand. "My cuddly bear." she cooed, crawling over and taking a silver spoon out the drawer next to the bed. "Lovebug?" "Yes, cutie booty?" "Why do you have a spoon in the drawer?" "T-Totally not for late-night snacking if that's what you're thinking. T-There is no way I eat cookie dough raw with no concern for my health and bod whatsoever!" "Hon......why are you so loveable?" "Because I'm adorkable!" "Eeyup." "Now shut those lips and start slurpin', we got some snugglin' to do afterwards!" "Yes, ma'am." The two cuddled close, enjoying the coziness of their healing meal. And each other. > I Now Pronounce You Boy and Filly > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are we there yet?" "Nope." "Now?" "Eenope." "Whyyyyyyyy?" "You wanted to pick this place, Kobe. I wanted us to do this at the playground, but nooooooo, we can't have you 'get caught' and be 'teased'!" "I wanted it to be in-suspicious." "Inconspicuous, silly. And wearing a crooked rainbow-colored tie with a normal tee is anything but." "I couldn't find a human boy-sized tux, okay?!" Young children Forgetful and Kobe trudged through a tranquil forest in search of "the right place". There, the two have a mild bicker session, as most children and couples do, about where to go. "Can't you just flap up there and take a look?" Kobe pouted. "I can't fly these flimsy wings yet, Kobe." Forgetful hopped off the small boulder and fluttered her smol wings into Kobe's face, tickling his cheeks. "See?" she squeaked. "Okay, okay, I see!" Kobe giggled, fanning the wings away. "We'll keep going then." "Okies, let's go-" Kobe wrapped his arms around the filly and struggled to lift her up high enough like holding a huge cat. "What are you doing?" Forgetful asked. "Trying to carry you there, urgh!" he grunted, barely keeping the tip of her hooves off the ground. "It's what we do, right?" "Hee, I suppose so." Kobe waddled on down the path through the glowing woods with his heavy gal as the sun slowly sets. The trail led them to a lone big oak tree in the middle of a wide open field. "Ah," he sighed, resting against the great oak. "The perfect spot." "Yeppers." Forgetful nodded. "So, uh......did you bring them?" "Oh, I forgot." Kobe reached into his pocket and unveiled two ring pops, one red and one blue. "Omigosh, strawberry?!" she squeed, stomping happily. "I LOVE strawberry, you remembered!" "You're my bestie, I know what my bestie likes." "Awwww! Okay, how does it go...?" Butterflies flapped within the boy's belly as he lifted his lady's hoof. "D-Do you take me as your husband?" "Hee, of course! I do. Do...do you take me as your wife?" "I do." "Yay!" "Uh......I now 'pro-nouns' you my wife." he muttered, putting the treat ring around the filly's smol hoof. "And I now 'pronouns' you my horseband." Forgetful giggled, wiggling a ring around Kobe's wrist. "My sweet hooman." "Mr. Memory......that sounds like a cool superhero name. I like it!" "Kobe, I think I'm the one who keeps your last name-" "MR. MEMORYYYYYYYYY!!!" "Hee, you're so goofy! I think we..." "Think we..." "I think we should......kiss now." Kobe's tie twirled off his shirt at the speed of light. "R-Really, now? Are you sure?" "That's usually how it works, I think, yeah." "O-Okies." The nervous boy fastened his crooked tie til it was MORE crooked and shuffled toward the sheepish filly. Lips were puckered hard, their eyes slammed shut. They closed the distance between them as Forgetful stands on her hind hooves to Kobe's eye level, leaning in to give an ever so gentle... ~smooch~ "Ewwwwwwwwwwww!" they laughed. The children hopped around in the field, wiping their lips and giggling at the brief cootie exchange before sitting together underneath the tree. "Strawberry!" Kobe gagged playfully. "Blueberry!" Forgetful squeed. "I'm so happy!" "So am I!" "Can I tell you a secret?" "What's that?" Forgetful leans over and whispered in his ear. "I wuv you..." "Heh, I wuv you too." "Good. Now keep that hush hush for me!" "Will do, sweetheart." "And Kobe?" "Mmhmm?" "You think we'll always be together?" Kobe pulls the pony into a soft tender hug, staring off into the sunset with a smile. "I'm positive." And they lived happily ever after. > Mew and I :3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "There you go, Aqua. Hopefully, that's enough." "Mew." "You're welcome, little one." "Meoww!" "Be patient, Sasha, I'm getting to you." On another calm morning, Kobe took part in feeding the adult cats fur babies while their pony mama, Forgetful, stayed in bed. As he poured a pungent bowl of cat chow, Sasha silently partook in her meat-scented meal, swishing her tail in defiance. "You're welcome." BUMP. a low thud came from the bedroom, startling the human. "Hon?" Kobe called out. "You okay in there?" BUMP. Concerned, he marches out the kitchen and through the hallway, pushing the ajar door open. Curled up at the edge of the bed was Forgetful, wiggling around wearing a cozy brown sweater with a kitty face hoodie, complimented with matching brown kitten paws that she cutely licked upon seeing her partner observing her. "It's a kitty..." Kobe uttered. "With wings." "Meow." the "kitten" winked, waving a paw as she tucked her wings behind her. She hopped off the mattress, skipping over to rub against the confused human in a tender circle. Her tail wrapped around Kobe's leg as she let out a soft "Meow." "Hon," the man said, brushing a hand through the kittypony's mane. "What are you doing?" "Mew don't know? It's Dress-Like-A-Kitten Day." "Never saw that on the calender before, dear." "Mew are the one who wanted to keep the Over the Hedge calendar for Celestia knows how long. It's an outdated one!" "Still, never heard of such a holiday for as long as I've lived here. What's really going on?" Forgetful twitched her nose, poking her tongue out. "Don't you trust mew?" "Always, silly, but what's going on?" "I just wanted to feel cute." "Babe, you're more than cute. You're beautiful." "I try to believe it sometimes, but sometimes I'm just, what's the word...meh? Fluttershy let me have this outfit, I thought it was lovely. It's really comfy." "Sweetheart, you don't need to dress up like a li'l fur baby to feel pretty. You'll always be more to me, you're beautiful just the way you are." "I mew, I mew. Just having one of those days. I...did make up the holiday, by the way." "I know, cutie. Nevertheless, you are the cutest kitty I've ever seen, wook at you!" "Awww, thank mew!" "Who's the cutest thing alive?" "Mew are?" "No, you are!" "Mewwwwww!" "Ssssssss!" Sasha hissed, strolling in the room. "Back off, Sasha!" Forgetful hissed back, playfully blowing a raspberry. "He belongs to mew, not mew. Unlike mew, I actually like being cuddled." "Ssssssss!" "Meow." Aqua squeaked, scurrying in as well. "Mew tell her, Aqua!" "All of you are crazy," Kobe chuckled, snuggling his large kitty baby in his arms. "Absolutely looney." Forgetful looked up to whisper at her man with a dreamy grin. "Hey, guess what?" "Hmm?" The cutie kitty mare leans in to lightly lick her human's cheek, her warm lips moving further to plant a kiss. "I love mew." "I love mew, too, my ball of floof. "Mew mew!"
