*Cough* Ow...why does everything hurt.

I stumbled into my bathroom rubbing my chest, "Decongestants will work right?" I said to myself, popping the cap off and swallowing two pills, "cant hurt," I took another look at the box, "Aw crap....that was Nyquil....."


"Corey, I'm back,"

"Ehhhhh...."

"What's up?" Vinyl walked in and lifted her glasses, "Don't you think your kinda overdoing it?"

"Ehhhhhhhhhh...." I rolled around on the couch, "What the hell is wrong with me.....I coulda been a teacher or something...."

"Dear Luna, calm down drama queen,"

"I'm not a drama queen...." She sat next to my head, "I feel like.....back when you're a kid and you catch a cold...."

"Groggy and confused?"

"Yeah....and tired...."

"That falls under groggy,"

"Ehhhh....come here," I dragged my head onto her lap and buried my face in her stomach, "Warm....."

"You're like a baby...."

I blew a quick huff into her fur, causing her to jolt, "And you're....I dont know....a pony..."

"...are you on drugs?"

"Sort of....I took a bunch of cold medicine,"

"Why!?"

"I thought it would help...."

"With metal fever? What is it anyways?"

"...it's from breathing in fumes.....if you get it checked out it's just like the flu,"

"And if you don't?"

"You could die....or at least be pretty fucked up...."

"Will you get your head out of there....It feels funny,"

"No...."

"Seriously let go," She started trying to pry me from her, "Dude come on!"

"Noooo....it's warm and soft...." I buried myself deeper into her stomach, "Besides you use me....."

"Dude.....this is different!" She kept trying to pull me away, eventually giving up and propping herself on my head, "So....how long are we gonna do this,"

"Just a little longer....."

"Fine....but you have to visit me in the club when your better,"

".....you know how you said dubstep was an acquired taste.....I don't believe you...."

"It's not that bad,"

I pressed me mouth into her gut, "Wub, wub, wub," This got a quick giggle out of her, either because of the joke or the odd feeling on her stomach.

"See.....it's weird,"

"Well I liked it,"

"Not that.....the music,"

"I meant both," I pulled my face from her and looked up annoyed, "Hey you showed up the first time for a reason,"

"....for free drinks maybe...or maybe I was already drunk," I said falling into her lap.

"Whoa there dude, watch your head," I let her lift my head and escape. She just let my face fall into the couch.

"It's still warm.....ew......."

"You never said ew before...."

"Thats-....what ever....."

"Right...well I'm gonna go make something to eat," She trotted off into my kitchen.

"Vinyl...."

"What?"

"Bring me something too,"

"You can walk,"

"But I'm sick....."

"....you owe me,"

"Thanks Vinyl....." I planted my face back into the couch, "It's still warm......how is it still warm?"


"Here..." she set a bowl of something on the coffee table, "Soup,"

I finally pulled myself upright into a sitting position, "What's in it,"

"Stuff I found,"

"...no grass?"

"You don't put grass in soup...." She took a seat next to me with what looked like a sandwich.

"Well you ponies put all kinds of weird stuff in your food," I grabbed a spoon and quickly started at the soup, "...potatoes..celery..Vinyl....you're not a very good cook,"

"Why!?"

"These are still raw...."

"Oh shut up...at least I have good taste in music..."

"Taste"

"Well you're still eating it..."

"I need to eat something..."

"Have you not eaten today?"

"Crackers..."

"....you're useless..."

"I'm sick...."

"You made yourself worse!"

"......yeah....I did do that....."

"You do realize when your better and I'm sick I'm gonna do the same thing right?"

".....fine.....I'll be sure to under-cook your food too," I said with a quick laugh.

"....so...what we gonna do today?"

"Don't you have to work?"

"....later....I meant now, we should do something fun,"

".....wanna watch a movie?"

"....yeah," she pouted. I just got up and rummaged through my DVDs, Equestria has electricity, but cable TV's still a bit far off, "Something I'd like..."

".....fine....so...anime?"

"Fine....just not one of those weird ones,"

"Hey I didn't even know I had that-"

"Oh just pick one,"

"Fine......" Princess Mononoke would have to suffice. I plopped back onto the couch, "It's kinda old but it's still good," I started up the movie, I laid my head on her lap again.

"....your such a dork..."

"Yeah....I know....."
