>You take a step back to admire your work
>Anonymous, you have just completed building your very own, human-sized home!
>"Its not up to code" they had said, but you had pushed bravely on
>"That roof looks really saggy, Anon," the ponies had jeered, but, like the true maverick you are, you had ignored them
>"How are you going to get all your stuff inside? That door doesn't look big enough," the hypothetical masses ha-
>No, wait, you actually just heard that last one
>You turn around to see Twilight Sparklw giving you a quizzical look
>"I mean, maybe if you took the frame off the door, but, otherwise, I just don't see how..." the purple alicorn trailed off, glancing at the piles of junk strewn across your yard
>You couldn't help but smile- you knew the newly-minted princess could teleport all your shit inside in an instant, but realized how much doing this without magical assistance meant to you
"Don't worry about it, Sparks, there's a sliding door in the back"
>You raise an eyebrow at her
"Do you really think I'm that much of an idiot?"
>"No Anon! Its just that... I, um... you see-"
"I'm just messing with you," you laugh
>You narrow your eyes
"But you really should feel terrible"
>This time, she giggles along with you
"If you want to make it up to me though-"
>You make a big show of grunting and struggling to pick up one of the smaller boxes
"Do me a favor and help me carry some of this stuff in?"
>You plop the box onto her back before turning around to tackle a heavier item
>As you tighten your grip around the biggest box you could find, Twilight starts speaking again, but you're only half listening now
>"... actually, ask you a favor myself..."
>Hrrrrk!- you start pulling up with all your might
>"... just showed up out of the blue earlier..."
>Holy shit this thing is heavy
>"... was the only dragon he knew outside of his clan..."
>Remember your training, Anon: narrowed stance, arch and twist back
>"... expelled. So now Celestia wants us to..."
>You feel sweat drip from your brow as the box starts to move
>"... plus Mayor Mare is iffy about him living in the library..."
>'What's in this? Bricks?' you think as you straighten up
>"... so I thought you could..."
>You look down at the box in your arms
>"... name's Fizzle..."
>Its marked 'Cinderblock Collection.' You'd forgotten about packing that
>"... so could you? Please?"
>You turn back to face purplesmart, only now noticing the pink dragon nervously clacking his claws off in the background
>You look down at Twilight, then back up at the dragon
"I'm just moving in though!"
>"And your house is actually the right size for him!"
"What if he burns it down?"
>"He wouldn't do that"
"On accident?"
>"I'll cast a protective spell"
"I was just getting my privacy back"
>"Please- he's a lot like you were- scared and alone"
"Twilight..."
>"Anon..."
>Fuck, you can't resist those puppy-dog eyes
"... Okay"
