- >Be Anon
- >You are currently having the adrenaline rush of your life
- >You were woken up by the sound of pots and pans clanging in the downstairs kitchen
- >So, like any self-respecting small-time drug dealer with a slight Napoleon complex and fairly unwarranted paranoia issues, you threw on some sweatpants and grabbed your strap
- >You are currently sneaking downstairs, your trusty .45 in your hand to dispose of any unwanted herons
- >The cold air and the numerous pieces of dirty laundry on the stairs do nothing to deter you, despite the temperature sending your dong into retract mode
- >As you draw nearer to your objective, you smell the faint scent of bacon, presumably emanating from the kitchen
- >Your hands are sweating profusely, for what form of villain would invade your home at 6 AM to eat your bacon?
- >Pressing yourself against the kitchen door, you take hold of the doorknob, ready to unleash hot lead on anything inside
- >You fling open the door and bring your gun up, aiming it at a rather distraught woman with multi-colored hair holding some eggshells
- ''Surprise motherfu- Celestia?''
- >''Uh, h-hi Anon. Heh.''
- >She is pressed up against the wall with a nervous smile plastered on her face, her eyes rapidly flicking between the barrel and your face
- >Right
- >You lower your gun and put the safety back on with a resounding click
- ''Sorry about that.''
- >You smile sheepishly
- >Celestia was something of a family friend, and used to teach at the local high school back when you still studied there
- >She was always chill, and helped you out of a couple tight spots during your stay
- >And you also had a slight crush on her back then
- >Looking at her now, you definitely remember why
- >Those legs were still as long and smooth as ever
- >That skin was just as pale and flawless as before
- >And her hair still flowed in that weird-but-amazing way
- >But cute or not, she had still broken into your home
- ''Why are you in my house?''
- >You ask, suspicion evident in your voice
- >''I was just uh, cooking you breakfast! Yeah. Breakfast.''
- >Her eyes dart around nervously, the embarrassed blush on her face plainly tells you that she'd want to be anywhere but here right now
- ''Uh huh. So, you make it a habit of breaking and entering random peoples' houses just to fry bacon, or what?''
- >''Well, not really.''
- >She gives a long sigh, giving her best impression of a sad, deflating balloon animal
- >''Truth is, well, I kind of need a place to stay.''
- >She mutters, looking downcast
- >''And if it matters, I'm sorry for sneaking in. It's just, I hoped you'd be more open to the idea after some breakfast.''
- >A place to stay? WHAT?
- ''Wait, wait, just hold up. You need a place to stay?''
- >She nods
- ''As in, here?''
- >She nods again
- ''As in, you need to stay at my place?''
- >Not even Sid Vicious nodded this much
- >You grin
- ''I call bullshit, man. You're a principal, for fuck's sake! Why would you need to crash here?''
- >''Was.''
- ''What's that?''
- >''I was a principal. Up until last week, or so.''
- ''Oh.''
- >''Yeah.''
- >The pregnant silence between you is broken by the sound of bacon and eggs sizzling
- >''So, yes or no?''
- >She looks at you hopefully
- ''Shit man, I don't know. Let's just have some breakfast first. I really need to think this over.''
- >You take a sip of your coffee, basking in the afterglow of bacon and eggs
- >Across from you sits the ex-principal, fiddling nervously with her hair
- >The awkward is strong
- ''So, can't you stay with your sister or something? Don't you have anything saved up?''
- >''I would, but I have no idea where she is.''
- >She lets out an exasperated sigh
- >''Her cell's dead, the house is empty, and no-one at the school has seen her since last Friday.''
- ''What about your home? As much as I appreciate the food, don't you have anywhere to go?''
- >She sighs again and looks at the table again
- >You notice that her eyes are developing dark bags and that her hair looks frazzled
- >She is good at hiding it, but anyone could see that she is incredibly tired
- >''My home was school owned. Lost it with the job.''
- ''Oh.''
- >You scratch your neck
- >This is definitely not what you need right now
- >But she is still a family friend
- >Besides, it's probably just going to be a short while, right?
- ''Uh, how long are you gonna be staying?''
- >She brightens up a bit when you break the silence
- >''Oh, about two or three days, I think. I submitted an application for an apartment not far from here, I'm just waiting for it to go through.''
- ''Well, if it's only three days, then sure, knock yourself out.''
- >She slumps backwards, looking incredibly relaxed from the news
- >''Thank you. I could do the dishes if you want me to.''
- >She gives you a warm smile
- >Still as pretty as in High School
- ''Sure.''
- >Shaking yourself from your thoughts, you drain the last of your coffee and rise up
- ''Try to get some sleep, okay? You look like you've been up for days.''
- >You give her a small smile and head outside for a cigarette and some thinking time
- >Your exit is accompanied by the sweet sound of dishes being washed for the first time in days
- >Lighting your Camel to the sounds of Marche de Disque as performed by Celestia, you finally let this morning's events sink in
- ''Motherfucker.''
