Chapter 10, Tina's Offer to Mike

Mike looked at the beautiful house. Their shift had ended 25 minutes ago, and Tina rode in Mike's car, since she didn't have a car. "I-It's beautiful!" Mike said, still astonished. His house was fairly small, and yet he was also very low on money, which was why he took the job at Freddy Fazbears. "T-thank you...I've only had it for two weeks…." Tina said, quickly hiding the heart hairpin in a drawer. She didn't want anybody to see it. Even though she didn't treasure it, she still kept it to remind her of why she wasn't going back to Equestria.

"Maybe you can get a house exactly like this one." Tina continued, looking back at Mike. "Nah...I wouldn't have been able to afford this house anyway...not to mention that I wouldn't be able to pay the rent. "Rent? You don't have to rent it. It's a simple 'Pay once you get it', but then I guess you still gotta pay the bills," Tina said, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of chocolate milk. "Do you want anything to drink?" "I'm good…" Mike replied. "Sooo...you live here all alone?" "Do you see anyone else here?" Tina stated, and Mike shook his head.

"Okay...I see your point there." "...You said you can't afford a house like this…" "Yes...I won't be able to live in the house I'm already renting if I don't pay this month's rent." "...Wanna live here?" "What?" Mike said, looking at Tina alarmed that she would allow him to stay here. He didn't want to make Tina's life harder by having an extra person in the house doing absolutely nothing. "Yeah! It's the least I could do for a friend who taught me a lot about this world." Tina said, her eyes twinkling and a sweet smile on her face. Mike thought about what she said. He was her friend? But….didn't she have any other friends that could stay with her? "Don't you have other friends that could stay with you?" Mike asked.

Tina shook her head. "Unless you count the animatronics, you are the only friend I have ever had in this world." She replied. There was silence from the both of them for a few minutes. Tina was the first to break the silence. "You won't have to pay the bills. You won't have to pay anything." "A-are you sure? Because you don't have to-" "I'm sure! Like I said, it's the least I can do for you! You're my only friend, and I haven't had a friend for a long time…." Tina said, trailing off.

"Damn, Tina! That's...that's pretty rough….I….I'll think about it." Mike said. "Okay. But, If you end up on the streets and you didn't accept the offer, I'll make you live here." Tina replied, chuckling. Mike laughed. "Haha, very funny. I'll see you later, T." As Mike left, Tina blushed. No one had called her T before. Tracy once suggested it, but Tina didn't like it. But now….she liked Mike calling her T.

Heh...she thought of it as a nickname for her nickname. There was a knock at the door, which startled her, and pulled her out of her thoughts. Opening the door, Mike stood there, smiling sheepishly. "Heh...I forgot my car keys," He said, and Tina laughed. "And….even though I only thought about for a few minutes, I forgot about the month's pay rent at my place." Mike pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Tina, who examined it. Her eyes went wide. "WHAT?!" Tina exclaimed, and looked up at Mike. "4000 dollars?! Is that for bills too?!" Mike nodded. "Yep. And I don't have enough, and it would take me a month to GET enough." "What are you going to do then?!" Tina asked, upset that Mike's tennent was making him pay THAT MUCH for rent, plus bills. "I...I dunno…" Mike said, not wanting to take up Tina's offer. Standing there, he looking into her orchid eyes. He sighed. Knowing what he had to do, he spoke hesitantly.

"I'll…..I'll take up your offer…"

Yes, I'm moving things fast, but that's because I am running out of ideas. Also, (SPOILER ALERT) I'm going to, AGAIN, time skip. I haven't decided of it's going to be a couple of days, a week, or a month. I'm also changing the times to (The same time, as usual, just different days) It's going to be any time of the week, except Saturdays and Sundays. Anyways, this is Tiffany64, signing out till next time. PEACE!
