Woo! New chapter out! I wrote this while listening to The Glitch Mob (Great producers for glitch hop). Hope you like it!

I wake up to the blinding light of sun shining through the window next to my bed, turning everything into a blur. Oh god! I hold my hands over my eyes, moaning in a stupid attempt to stop the rays from shining through.

“Still tired, I’m guessing?” I shake my head, I just heard Dash’s voice, but she never wakes up before me, “Yeah, you slept in pretty late, dude. It’s like one in the afternoon.”

“Ugh, really?” I grimace as I open my eyes, the sun still being bright by my standards, “Fuck, guess it doesn’t really matter; I’m stuck in the hospital anyways.”

“Yeah, so anyways…whaddya wanna do?” I open my eyes for the first time to see Dash standing over me, a tray of food in her mouth, “Nurse Redheart dropped this off about twenty minutes ago, said she wanted to make sure her patients were in good hands before she left.”

“Awesome! I can eat some stuff while I make some jams!” I grin, reaching for my laptop, music on my mind, “Man, I’ve got this kickass idea for a song…”

*Rumble* I look over to the source of the noise to see Dash grinning awkwardly at me. She sounds hungry.

“You know, there’s enough food here for both of us if you’re hungry…” I explain to her, earning a beaming smile from the rainbow maned pegasus, “Come on, you can sit up here.”

“Thanks, I was getting a little hungry!”  She giggles a tad before settling down next to me in my bed, “So what kinda song are you gonna work on?”

“I dunno, maybe some house. I wanna make a hardcore banger.” I explain to her whilst I open up FL Studio, “Got a basic rhythm going here, wanna put on your headphones?”

“Sure, lemme hear this!” I hear her exclaim as I plug in my headphones first, then plug her headphones into mine, “I bet it sounds cool! Just like that one Rainboom song you did a few weeks ago.”

“Yeah, that one was pretty good.” I grin, remembering my first single I made, “Kinda basic though.”

I open my project and begin to tweak, mix, synthesize, and create. All of this work takes a toll on my mind, due to the fact that I’m ADHD. I begin to lose interest after about two hours.

“Ugh, I’m bored now.” I groan, taking off my headphones, “I wonder what Jaycee’s doing.”

“I dunno, probably just playing that Call of Duty game.” Dash rolls her eyes, “That’s all he EVER does.”

“Not true, he does all kinds of stuff.” I explain to Dash, “Actually he practices his rapping a lot. He’s come a long way incorporating his life experiences to his own tracks. When he does covers, he has a nice style that fake-asses like Soulja Boy could never accomplish.”

“Yeah, I know. He really does need to get a job, though. Then he can finally move out.” She once again rolls her eyes, looking annoyed.

“Why does it matter to you if he moves out?” I ask her, confused by her annoyance. The question causes her to light up in a shade of red.

“I kinda-sorta wanted to move in with you…” The blushing pegasus replies nervously, “I really like you a lot, but you already know that. I just kinda wanna be closer to you. We sleep together anyways…”

“Dash, I…I really wanna live with you too, but I don’t think my house is exactly the best place to live, your house is waaay better.” I explain to her, “If you want, I could move up there with you when I get out of here.”

“Really! You’d do that!” She tackles me in a tight hug, “Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!”

“Need…to…breathe…Ouch…Ribs…” I choke out, the mare squeezing the breath out of me. Hearing this, she releases me.

“Hehehe, sorry about that.” She grins sheepishly as I recover, “Guess I got a little carried away there.”

“It’s *HUFF* okay.” I pant, still recovering from the mare’s hug, “Anyways, first I have to talk to twilight and see If it’s even possible.  Anyways why don’t we watch some naruto for the time being”

“Awesome!” She grins and crawls back up into the bed with me, “What episode were we at?”

“I dunno…I’ve got in bookmarked though, so we can just go back and watch it.” I click to open youtube and go to the episode we were watching, “Here we are.”

---7 Hours Earlier---8:00---Danny’s House---

(CHARACTER SWITCH: JAYCEE)

“Ugh, what is it…” I groan as I feel something brush against me. Opening my eyes, I see a grey mare getting out of my bed, yawning. Suddenly, memories begin to flood through my head of what happened last night. We watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Which Derpy seemed to like, surprisingly) and then she climbed into bed with me. Did we…no, no I don’t think we did. I…I remember the kiss, though.

I and Derpy had really gotten to know each other last night. Though I previously had made some snide remarks at Danny for his love for Dash, I now think that I’m in love with Derpy. She’s just so cute and loveable. Somepony I just want to protect for my entire life. Anypony who makes fun of her clearly has no soul. Looking at her now, I grin a tad at grey mare’s current state; her mane is messed up from sleeping, her eyes are a tad baggy due to how late we stayed up, and she seems as if she’ll tumble over at any second.

“Hey Jay…” She says, scratching the back of her neck, “Gotta get up early to take my Dinky to school.”

“Okay then…hey wait.” I say, remembering what she had told me last night, “Didn’t you say that Dinky was spending the night at Berry Punch’s?”

“Did I?” She looks confused for a second, “Oh, I must’ve meant Berry Pinch, Berry Punch’s daughter.”

“Oh, I guess that does make more sense.” I nod my head, “So today’s Wednesday, guess you’ve got work anyways, right?”

“Yeah, I do.” She nods, smiling goofily, “Being a mailmare’s a tough job! I’ve gotta deliver the mail rain or shine, sleet or hail!”

“Sounds tough, you seem like you’re pretty good at it, though.”  I smile, getting out from beneath the covers, “Here, let me make you some hot chocolate.”

“Really? Thanks!” The mare smiles widely, somehow appearing as though she is wide awake already, “Maybe after I’m done with my shift, you can meet my daughter!”

“Sure, I’d like that.” I grin, her cheerfulness infecting me, “Well, let’s get downstairs now.”

We walk downstairs and I quickly get dressed for the day, leaving her to wait out in the kitchen. Once I’m done getting dressed, I walk over to the kitchen and begin work on the drink. I really don’t know how to make legit hot chocolate, but I can definitely use that Swiss Miss shit that me and Danny never drink. I pour some hot water in a mug, then the mix, and then I start to stir the drink. Once it’s all stirred together, I set in front of Derpy, who is sitting down at the table.

“Thanks Jaycee!” The grey mare flashes me a cute smile before beginning to drink the hot cocoa. Once she finishes the drink, she gives me another big smile, “That was really good, almost as good as muffins!”

“So I’m guessing you have to go now, right?” I respond sadly.

“Yeah, but I get off around three if you wanna eat lunch with me.” She replies.

“Okay, give me a place and I’ll be there!” I grin, feeling wanted.

“How about the Ponyville Café?” The mare asks, “They’ve got pretty good food and me and Dinky eat there all the time!”

“Will Dinky be with us?” I ask, curious about her daughter.

“Yeah, if you really want to, you can meet me at the Ponyville Schoolhouse around three when I pick her up.” The mare then turns a shade of red, “oh, and Jay…Thanks for everything. I…I really don’t want this to be a one night sorta thing…if that’s okay.”

“Of course it’s okay! I was just thinking the same thing!” I reply with a wide smile, “I really do care about you and I wanna be your boy…I mean coltfriend.”

“Yippie!” She bolts over to me and gives me a tight hug, “You’re the first guy to ask me out since…since my last coltfriend left me…”

“Hey, it’s okay! Dude was a jerk, that’s all.” I smile at the mare, “I’ll never leave you like that, promise.”

“How do I know that you’re telling the truth?” She looks at me with a half-sad face.

“I’m from the Army Spec Ops team, I don’t friggin’ lie to my friends…ever.” I state seriously to the mare, “In my line of work, honor was value highly. In such a small, tightly-coordinated team, we couldn’t have liars. Honor and trust were everything.”

“I guess you’re right…sorry for doubting you.” She smiles at me once again. Moving up to my eyes level, she gives me a quick kiss on the cheek, lighting my face up.

“It-It’s okay Derpy, I probably would’ve reacted the same way. Bye Derpy!” I smile as she walks out the door, waving at me. She then extends her wings and launches into the sky.

“Ah, now what am I gonna do?” I question myself, “No fucking way Danny’s up this early, especially after what happened to him. Maybe I could just grab a bite to eat around town and meet up with the girls.”

After proposing this idea, I grab my coat, my army bag, and my iPod, making sure it’s on full charge, then I start out the door. I look over to Danny’s dirt bike and mount it.

I wonder what’s gonna happen today…

---7 Hours Later---3:00---Outside Ponyville Schoolyard---

Where is that mare? She said three…maybe she’s running a tad late. I think to myself as I wait outside the schoolhouse. I had one kick-ass day so far, learning a few lessons. Lesson 1: Don’t make sex jokes...I look out into the sky and see a familiar grey pony flying towards me at a decent pace.

“Hey Derpy!” I wave as I see the grey mare fly towards me, a smile apparent on her face, “How was your day?”

“Great!” She smiles, landing next to me, “I got see all of my best friends! The wind wasn’t very strong today, so that made everything a bit easier.”

“Anything interesting happen?” I ask the mare, who is now standing next to me.

“Actually, yeah!” She grins, then pulls out a piece of paper from one of her saddlebags, “I got this order to deliver some important package to a pony in Canterlot. I start that job tomorrow, but I’ll probably be gone overnight, takes awhile to fly there, and my wings get tired after too much flying.”

“Don’t you fly all day?” I question the mare, “I mean, six hours of basically uninterrupted flying is quite a feat.”

“Well, actually, I only fly when I really need to.” She explains, “I usually walk around town, then fly if the next stop is a long ways away, or if it’s a pegasus’ house.”

“Oh, I get it.” I nod my head, turning my attention back to the schoolhouse, “So when’s Dinky gonna get out of school?”

“Really soon, shouldn’t be too long now.” The mare replies happily, “I think she’ll like you.”

“I hope she does.” I smile back at Derpy, her smile being infectious.

*RIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG* SCHOOL’S OUT! I smile at the bell, then at the sight of a small ocean of fillies and colts flushing out of the school. One filly unicorn in particular that looks similar to Derpy, but a tad more purple. She seems to be running towards Derpy, smiling the whole time.

“Mommy!” The young unicorn yells happily, jumping at Derpy playfully, “Mommy! Guess what me and Berry did last night!”

“What did you do, my little muffin?” Derpy asks the filly in a very motherly voice.

“We colored and drew pictures!” She reaches into her saddlebag, pulling out a piece of paper, “I drew you! See mommy?” She holds the picture in her mouth. It is a childish drawing of a grey pony in a green field with a yellow smiling sun shining above.

“Yes, I see.” Derpy replies in a caring voice, “You’re a very good artist, Dinky! Mommy’s very proud of her little muffin.” She then leans in a little a kisses Dinky’s mane, causing me to tear up a bit. I mean, I never had a mom, but if they’re all this good, then maybe I would’ve had a good life. Maybe I would’ve had someone supporting me. If only that stupid fucking bitch wasn’t my mom…

“What’s wrong, Jaycee?” Derpy looks up at me with a worried look on her face, “Was it something I said?”

“No, it’s…it’s just seeing you so happy with your daughter.” I move over and put both hands on her shoulders, “Listen, I never had a mom, but I can tell that you’re a great one. What do I know, my mom was awful.” I then turn to Dinky, “Listen, you have an amazing mom. You’re lucky you have one…I didn’t. I hate her for running away…but now I see you so happy with your mom…I’m happy for you, kid.”

“That’s so sad, mister.” She leans in and gives me a big hug, “But you had a dad, right? I don’t have a daddy…”

“Listen; yes, I had a dad, but I hated him as much, if not more than my mom.” I feel my internal bellows fire up in rage at his memory, “He beat me, drank too much, and was never there for me. I hate him; I wouldn’t care if he died. I’d rather not have any parents than live with him.”

“G-Geez mister, that’s pretty sad…” Dinky hugs me tight, trying to make me feel better.

“Yeah, my past is pretty bad, to say the least.” I hug the filly back, “But I want this place to be a new start for me, clean slate and everything.”

“Well, I’d love to give you that chance, Jay.” Derpy suddenly announces, “You’re really nice and I think you deserve a second chance, at the very least.”

“Thanks Derpy, that means a lot.” I smile at my new marefriend, “Let’s get that meal!”

“Okay, let’s go then!” Derpy smiles and begins to lead our small group into town.

Man, this is turning out to be an epic day!

There you have it! It’s been a crazy week, though I have today off. Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. BTW, is anybrony else mad about Hasbro switching the eye color of Vinyl Scratch for no reason at all? I sure as hell am...

Have some good music: Pendulum
