Octavia woke as the rays of the sun were shining in her room, or, at least what she thought what was her room. As she began to search around trying to look for any familiar surroundings, she noticed something that made her blush up.
Right next to her on the bed laid Fiery with the most peaceful look on his face. She then began to notice that his arms had apparently been wrapped around her as she was trying to sit up from the bed. She had begun to think that the two of them had done something embarrassing last night, but much to her disappointment she remembered that in fact they were only watching a horror movie.
Every time she moved she earned a little mumble from Fiery. She smiled at him. ‘If I can’t leave just yet, I might as well enjoy this time with him…’ She thought. She moved back into the position she woke up in and grabbed Fiery close…
About ten minutes later, Fiery had also begun to wake up from his slumber. He looked down to see Octavia looking up at him smiling, so he smiled back. “You get enough sleep last night?” He asked sweetly.
“Indeed I did Fiery… Then again it was easy due to the fact that I had a comfortable pillow to sleep on.” She said to him, indicating that he was the pillow that she spoke of. He smiled at her once more, then decided to nuzzle her neck.
“I’m happy to hear that ‘Tavi.”
She had let out a moan of happiness as he nuzzled her neck. “Oh Fiery…” She let out softly, but just like with Fluttershy yesterday, Vinyl had seemed to come out of nowhere to interrupt them before they could continue any farther.
“’Tavi! Fiery!” Vinyl burst through the door of Fiery’s room. The two of them snapped back into reality and turned their heads to the doorway where Vinyl stood.
“You got some sort of sensor Vinyl? How the hell do you know something’s happening?” Fiery asked her in a somewhat frustrated tone. She only grinned in response before turning to Octavia to ask her something.
“Hey ‘Tavi, you have the day off today, right?”
Octavia looked somewhat confused at Vinyl. “Um, yeah, I do. Why do you ask?”
“Well, I need to get some things in town and I was wondering if you wanted to come shopping with me.”
“Oh, sure Vinyl, I’ll be happy to do that. Do you mind if you stay here by yourself Fiery?”
Fiery looked to Octavia, then Vinyl, then back to Octavia. “Nah, it’s fine, you two enjoy yourselves.” Octavia smiled at him.
“Alright then Fiery, we will… Vinyl?”
“Yeah ‘Tavi?”
“Do you mind if I get showered first and such before we get going?”
Vinyl gave Octavia another big grin. “Sure, no problem ‘Tavi, also, if you’re hungry at all, I made some waffles that are still on the counter downstairs. There’s enough for both you and Fifi so you don’t have to worry about holding back.”
“Alright Vinyl, thank you so much…” Octavia said to her best friend. Then as Vinyl walked out and closed the door, Octavia seemed to remember something. “Wait… Vinyl? Cooking?... Oh no…” She seemed to talk to herself, then ran to the door, opened it, then ran down the stairs.
As Fiery stayed in bed, he was curious as to what Octavia was so worried about, when he suddenly heard a scream from downstairs. “VINYL! What did you do to the kitchen!?” Fiery seemed to grow a large grin on his face before finally bursting into laughter from what he heard.
Downstairs, Octavia had just run and entered the kitchen and was horrified at what awaited her. There were what seemed to be puddles of waffle mix all over the kitchen mixed with flour. There were tons of freshly used dishes in both parts of the sink stacked nearly two feet high in the air. The stove was completely blackened by what seemed to be burnt mix with a mixing bowl and hand mixer with a complete mess around it with the waffle iron completely covered in waffle goop as well. The only thing that seemed to be clean was the plate of waffles on the counter that even Octavia had to admit in her mind was near to perfection in this horrible mess.
Octavia could feel the blood rushing to her head from frustration as she yelled for her roommate. “VINYL! What did you do to the kitchen!?”
She heard her roommate’s hoofsteps coming down the steps and coming closer to the kitchen. Vinyl entered the kitchen with her usual casual grin on. “Sup ‘Tavi? You call for me?”
“Just what is this Vinyl?” Octavia said to Vinyl with an almost hatred tone to her voice.
Vinyl looked around the kitchen. “What? I see no problem.”
Octavia facehoofed. “Just why Vinyl, why is it a mess?”
“Ooooh, you’re talking about the little puddles. Yeah… Sorry about that ‘Tavi.”
“LITTLE!?” Octavia screamed at Vinyl. “This entire kitchen is a mess Vinyl! Just… Just please try to clean it up while I go shower…” Octavia said trying to calm herself down. Vinyl only grinned.
“Alrighty ‘Tavi, will do.” She said, then began to get the paper towels and started to clean her mess up as Octavia went back upstairs to Fiery’s room.
As Octavia reached Fiery’s door, she knocked. “Fiery? You still there?” She heard a response.
“Yeah, I’m still here ‘Tavi, come on in.”
She opened the door to see him meddling with his phone and with the TV some more. “What are you doing?”
“Hmm? Oh, sorry. Right now I’m turning off the movie from last night because I forgot to do it last night. What was the matter downstairs?”
Octavia took in a deep breath. “I’d rather not talk about it…”
Fiery smiled. “Come on ‘Tavi, you know if you don’t talk about it that you’ll only get more mad trying to remember it.” She gave him a glare in response. “Or… You can talk about it later, either way is fine.”
She took in another deep breath. “Fiery, because my shower is still broken, you mind if I use yours?”
“Go right ahead, I don’t mind. But just curious, when is yours getting fixed?”
Octavia had gone to the room across from Fiery’s to retrieve a towel for her shower when she answered from across the hallway. “There’s supposed to be a repairstallion coming early today. In fact, it might be best if you stayed home while Vinyl and I go out so you can show him to it.”
“Alright ‘Tavi, will do.”
Fiery went through his phone looking for anything he could remember about his old world while waiting for Octavia to come out of the shower when he noticed something from a note he apparently had.
Octavia came out of the bathroom rubbing her mane with the towel she got earlier when she saw Fiery looking over his phone. “Whatcha doing there Fiery?” She asked him.
Fiery looked up from his phone. “Huh? Wha? Oh, sorry about that ‘Tavi. I was just looking through my phone seeing if I could find anything useful for this world when I came across this recipe I had received from my grandma years ago that I had really enjoyed.”
“Oh? What is it?”
He looked at her. “Well, do you and Vinyl enjoy spicy stuff?”
Octavia knew she loved spicy stuff as it ran in the family, as for Vinyl she wasn’t so sure, no matter how well she knew her. “Hmm, I know I love the stuff, but for Vinyl I’m not sure at all, you might want to ask her, why though?”
“Well, the recipe is for something that my family used to call ‘Kick-Butt’ soup, it was really spicy but really good.”
“Err, correct me if I’m wrong, but did you say ‘Kick-Butt’ soup?” Octavia asked with a disgusted face.
“Err, yeah… You see, we forgot the actual name for it and because it was so good we decided to call it that… And the fact that it sorta beats on your intestines afterwards…”
“Sounds so heavenly.” Octavia said with sarcasm in her voice.
Fiery could tell she didn’t enjoy the sound of it. “Well, if you can get past the second part, it’s actually quite good. I would always love it when my grandma would make it for Christmas dinner…”
“Christmas?”
“Hmm? Oh, right, you guys don’t have that here do you… Well, it’s sort of a holiday back on Earth, but it has a bunch of details I’d rather not get into right now, if you don’t mind that is.”
“Sure, that’s fine Fiery… But I assume you want me and Vinyl to pick up the ingredients for this ‘Kick-Butt’ soup as you called it?” Fiery smiled at her.
“Ehehe, sorry, if you wouldn’t mind that is.”
Octavia could only roll her eyes and smiled back. “It’s alright Fiery, just give us the list of what you need and we’ll be sure to pick it up. It’ll be interesting eating human food for once.”
“Oh, okay, um, you got a pen and some paper I could borrow real quick?” She raised her eyebrow at him. “Oh… Right, just got out of the shower… Um…”
“Why don’t you look in your drawers or end table? I’m sure you might find something there.”
“Oh, good thinking ‘Tavi.” He said and began to search for anything he could use. Nothing. “Hmm… Where else could I get a pen and paper?”
“Well, if you really must know, there’s my desk downstairs that I’m sure has everything you need for it.”
“Oh, alright, where is it?”
“It’s past the living room, just keep going until you reach the pool, but before you go outside there will be a door on your right which should be my office.”
“Alright, thanks ‘Tavi… But why would you need an office?”
“Who do you think does all the taxes around here? I certainly can’t let Vinyl take care of them.”
“Ah, good point.”
Both Fiery and Octavia had gone downstairs to attend their business. Octavia would go check up on Vinyl to see if she actually cleaned up her mess while Fiery would go get the pen and paper.
Much to Octavia’s surprise and delight, Vinyl had actually come through with her promise and was actually able to clean the entire kitchen using her magic, which incredibly impressed Octavia.
Fiery on the other hand, was going down the hallway that Octavia described. He had never really explored the house yet as he spent most of his time so far either in the living room, dining room, or his own room. Right before he reached the door leading out to the pool outside, he noticed a door to his right just as Octavia told him. He opened it to see a disaster of an office.
There were stacks of paper everywhere that seemed to be used to keep track of anything needed for taxes later on in the year. Fiery was able to make his way ever so slowly around the stacks of papers without knocking any of them down as he reached the desk in the back of the room. He noticed a stack of blank paper and some pens next to it and decided to take one of each then walk back out of the room. It was kind of hard for him to walk out as not only trying to avoid knocking the stacks down, but also had a pen and paper in his hoof using his invisible fingers as he came to call them.
Fiery was finally able to get out of the office without knocking any of the stacks down and proceeded to go back to dining room where Octavia and Vinyl were located. As he got closer to Octavia, he spoke up. “Geez ‘Tavi, do you really need to stack those papers so high? I was afraid of knocking one of the piles down.”
Octavia blushed up. “Oh, sorry about that Fiery, I forgot about it. I really should go back there and organize my files.”
“Wait a minute, how come you yell at me for making a mess when you yourself have a mess in your office?” Vinyl said with frustration.
“Because Vinyl, my mess is at least neatly stacked and organized in a way that I know where they are for when I make room to properly put them away. Your messes however, are chaotic and destructive.”
Vinyl sat there grinning knowing that Octavia was absolutely right about it. “Alright ‘Tavi, you win.” Fiery sat down next to Octavia and began to write down the list of ingredients he needed to for the soup he wanted to make for the three of them. “Whatcha got there Fifi?” Vinyl asked him.
“Huh? Oh, just some ingredients that I need for a soup I want to make for you guys.”
“Oh? What type of soup?”
“Well… Do you like spicy?”
Vinyl put on an even larger grin. “Yep, indeed I do.”
“Well that’s good then, because this is actually pretty spicy. The only problem is that it takes all day to make, so we probably won’t have it until tomorrow.”
“Aww, that’s too bad.”
Fiery had finished the list as he was reading from his phone and gave it to Octavia. “That’s alright Vinyl, it’s just one day, that’s all.”
Octavia started to look over the soup ingredients when something caught her eye. “Forgive me if I’m wrong Fiery, but does this say… Shrimp?”
Fiery took the note back from her and looked at where she was pointing. “Oh, shit, my bad. Yeah… I don’t know if I explained earlier, but humans are omnivores…”
“Oh… Alright then…”
Fiery knew Octavia was feeling uncomfortable now. “Hey, hey, don’t worry about it, it was the only meat on the list and I crossed it out. Just try not to think about it, alright? I’m sorry if that makes you uncomfortable but… It’s how humans are, I used to eat both meat and plants…”
Octavia looked up from the list he had given back and smiled. “It’s alright Fiery, I know you don’t mean anything from it. It just sort of shocked me there for a minute, that’s all.” She turned back to Vinyl then. “Alright Vinyl, since I guess we’re both ready, should we get going then?”
“Sure ‘Tavi.” Vinyl said to her roommate, and they both began walking towards to the door when Vinyl turned to face Fiery. “See ya later Fifi, don’t do anything that would get you into trouble while we’re gone.” She gave him a wink that he couldn’t see due to her glasses being in the way.
“As I know you won’t do anything that Vinyl might think you’ll do, just remember about the repairstallion and everything should be fine.”
“Alright you two, I’ll see you later then.” They both blew kisses to him and walked out the door to go do their shopping. After they had closed the door, Fiery talked to himself. “Alrighty then, time to go figure out if what I saw earlier really was what I think I saw.”
Fiery went back up to his room and started to search his end tables once more about what he thought he saw earlier. “Bingo.” He exclaimed when he saw what he was searching for. What he pulled out from the end table was something that he wasn’t expecting at all. Weed, marijuana, dope, whatever other name you could think of. “Just what the hell are you doing here?” He spoke to himself once more.
Fiery searched the rest of the room trying to see if there was anything else like what he found earlier but could not find anything. ‘I wonder who’s this is… Is it ‘Tavi’s or Vinyl’s? Or is it that the old roommate was a drug dealer like I thought and they forgot to search everywhere for anything else and I just happened to stumble upon it in the open?’ He thought to himself. ‘Whatever, it’s mine now… Though I wonder if I should even smoke it… I heard good things about it, but what if ‘Tavi and Vinyl find out about it?... If I were to smoke it, should I smoke at night after they’re both asleep? Or should I let them in on the fun?...’
But just then, a bright white light flashed from behind him. He turned around to see what it was and what he saw scared him. “Oh, shit.”
Twilight and Luna were getting ready for the day as they ate breakfast once more; hoping this time nothing would happen between the two of them. Twilight decided to break the silence as they were eating. “So we still need to get both yours as well as my dress made by Rarity for the party this weekend.”
Luna looked up from eating at Twilight. “A new dress? That’s a surprise.”
“Yes, well, Rarity wanted only the best for her friends at the party so…”
“It’s no worry Twilight, I was just surprised for the moment, that’s all.”
“Oh, alright then.” Twilight, then went back to eating her oatmeal.
Twilight and Luna had finally finished eating breakfast and began to get ready to go out for the day. Twilight got ready by stuffing her satchel with anything she thought she might need for the day while Luna changed into her other form so nopony would notice her.
“Alright, you ready Twilight?” Luna called out to her companion.
“Yes Princess, I’m all set.” Twilight responded, and the two of them set off to Rarity’s boutique for the second time in the past two days.
As they walked in, they had immediately gotten Rarity’s attention by the bell that was attached to the door. Rarity turned to see Twilight and Luna in her disguise. “Oh! Twilight, so good you could come back, and I see you brought somepony along with this time.” Rarity smiled at the two of them.
“Hey Rarity, it’s good to see you as well, as for who this is, this is Moonlight.” Twilight pointed to the princess, in which nodded her head in confirmation.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Rarity, Twilight has told me so much about you and the other Elements that she’s made friends with here in Ponyville.”
“Oh, yes, well, it’s the least we could do darling. After all, Twilight here has done so much for us as well. Also, it’s good to finally meet you Moonlight.”
Twilight interrupted them. “Well, you two can get to know each other better, I have to go do a quick errand. I’ll be right back.”
“Wait darling, don’t you want to have some tea first or something?”
“It’s alright Rarity, besides, I kinda need to get this errand done. Is that alright with you Moonlight?” Twilight asked.
Princess Luna looked confused. ‘What errand could she possibly need to do without telling me first? Although it’s none of my business I guess…’ “Sure Twilight, that’s fine, it would give me and Rarity some more time talk anyways.” She turned back to Rarity and smiled. “Isn’t that right?”
“Oh of course darling! Forgive me for not thinking about that. I really did want to get to know you better ever since I heard you lived in Canterlot.”
Twilight leaned into the Princess and whispered in her ear. “She has this huge thing about Canterlot and wanting to live there one day, so if she asks anything about it, just try to make up as much as possible.” The Princess nodded in confirmation.
“Is something the matter Twilight?”
Twilight shot right back up and blushed. “Oh, nothing Rarity, really, it’s fine… Anyways, I should go get that errand done, I’ll be back as soon as possible Pr-err, Moonlight.” She said with a smile and walked back out the door.
Rarity and Luna looked at each other and gave each other an awkward smile. “Well, how about we go make that dress for you hmm? Or would you like some tea first?”
“Tea sounds lovely Rarity.” Luna replied to her host.
“Alright, two cups of tea coming right up then.” Rarity exclaimed and rushed into the kitchen to get everything prepared.
Meanwhile, Twilight had been going into the direction of the musician’s house. ‘Sorry Princess Luna, but if Fiery really isn’t a pony, then I must know.’ She thought to herself as she walked, not knowing the trouble she was going to get herself into for doing it…
Chapter 13 you guys. Sorry it’s a bit short, as I couldn’t really think of filler. Just an announcement before I get going. I’m currently writing a new fanfic that is already up on both Fanfiction and Fimfiction, so if you guys are in the mood for something else, why don’t you go check it out? Only warning is that it’s much darker than this one as it contains violence and doesn’t really have any comedy in it. Also, if anyone is curious, yes, Kick-Butt soup is a real soup that my family eats. The only reason why it’s called Kick-Butt soup is because we forgot the name of the original soup as we copied from someone else but it was still good nevertheless, as well as it’s suppose to be a Cajun soup, so yeah, doesn’t do too well on your intestines (But you don’t have to worry because I’m not sick enough to mention something like that in the story.) Well, see you guys next chapter! (Hopefully for you perverts out there the sex should be coming soon. 2-3 chapters.)
Next Chapter: (14) Evil Mare [Don't Play Your Games With Me] Estimated time remaining: 15 Hours, 20 Minutes
