- >You thought for quite some time.
- >If you were able to put all of your thoughts into a box, that box would be so dense, you wouldn't be able to lift it.
- >But enough about boxes, you have a decision to make.
- >You're too entranced to even get out of bed.
- >Shimmer is probably waiting for you.
- >But...
- >That decision...
- >...
- >You might be in love with her.
- >You don't know for sure, all of the abuse may have gotten to you, but you're humoring the thought.
- >How will you be sure?
- >... It'll come to you when the time is right.
- >And if it doesn't, it probably isn't there at all.
- >Either way, you have breakfast to get to.
- >You peel yourself out of bed and make your way to the kitchen.
- >... You're there after an eternity's walk.
- >Time certainly is taking its... time.
- >You almost threw up from that one.
- >You peek in through the door frame.
- >She's cooking something on the stove again.
- >If you sneak well enough, you might be able to startle her.
- >... That's mean...
- >"Anon!"
- >SWEET TASTE YOU CAN SEE.
- >Well, she noticed you at some point, that much is obvious.
- >She looks so happy...
- >And beautiful.
- >Goodness, it looks like the world is sparkling around her.
- >You make your way to her side.
- "Good morning, Shimmer. What do we have today?"
- >She's practically bouncing.
- >"It's a surprise!"
- >The surprise looks a lot like pancakes.
- >... Well, that is surprising. You don't usually eat the same thing multiple times before you run out.
- >Though that hasn't been happening recently...
- >She flips the last pancake onto a plate for you.
- >They're really fluffy, just like last time.
- >This is going to be-
- >"Anon, wait!"
- >She flutters over to a cabinet and pulls out the peanut butter. She opens the lid and spreads it across your pancakes with a knife she had around.
- >For some reason.
- >Calm down, it was only a butter knife.
- >She could only kill you with it if she was really trying to.
- >... You're not sure if you should still be scared of that being a possibility.
- >Either way, your pancakes now have peanut butter on them.
- >She backs away, allowing you to dig in.
- >She looks so happy...
- >You know these pancakes will be amazing.
- >With her as cook, you have no doubt.
- >...
- >After eating them, you have a few things to clarify.
- >You don't doubt her cooking, but she spread way too much peanut butter on them.
- >Also, there were chocolate chips in the pancakes.
- >... But you hardly tasted them over the power of the peanut butter.
- >There wasn't even a lot on...
- >It looked like such a small amount, how was it so overpowering?
- >You look over to her.
- >You shouldn't have.
- >Her expression is tearing you to pieces.
- >She isn't mad.
- >She isn't trying to hurt you.
- >She's the one hurt.
- >At some point, you must have given away the pancakes weren't as good as you'd hoped.
- >Either that or she rolled really high for reading your emotions.
- >And you rolled a really low save.
- >She dejectedly looks to the floor.
- >"I'm sorry, Anon. I just wanted to make something special for you..."
- >You're five seconds away from crying your eyes out.
- >This mare, the one you've fear, now the one you possibly love, is disheartened.
- >Oddly enough, it's not actually your fault.
- >Probably.
- >... Either way, you're not going to stand by and let it affect her.
- "Shimmer, the only thing wrong with it was the amount of peanut butter."
- >Her eyes meet yours. She still looks sad, but she appears more confused now.
- "It took over the taste. It didn't taste bad, it just didn't taste like a pancake. Kind of like I was eating just peanut butter."
- >And now she's back to looking sad.
- >You have to save this.
- >... But you have no bonuses to this roll!
- >The Difficulty Class is probably, like, 15 or something crazy like that!
- >... But you have to try.
- >Roll to save.
- >...
- "But I'd be happy to stay here with you and test until it's perfect."
- >She looks surprised.
- >Then happy again.
- >Natural 20.
- >The two of you made great pancakes all day.
- >You're almost certain she's the one for you.
