More Than Friends-Chapter 11-(The Almost Perfect Day)

>”I don’t see what’s wrong, Anon.”
>You pace about her bed.
>”What? What do you mean what’s wrong? You mean what isn’t wrong?”
>”Shining Armor is working under you, what is there to worry?”
>”He tried to RAPE you, and you’re okay with that?”
>”He was intoxicated, all my father’s fault. I blame him for the most of it.”
>You pause at that.
>You turn to this lovable mare, who is basking in the fading sunlight.
>You smile.
>”You really are the princess of love.” You lean in and give her a kiss.
>”I know.” Cadance returns it.
>Then she turns to do her own chores.
>Whatever they were.
>You sit by her bed, and hold up your helmet.
>The golden, rounded armor glistens with the sunlight.
>You sigh and place it on the bed stand.
>Cadance is right; nothing bad can come from this.
>You lay next to her, as she slowly curls up to you.
>You turn and face her, staring into her eyes.
>You’re just hoping her horn won’t stab your eyes out when you sleep.
>”So, what are we going to do tomorrow?” You ask.
>”I was thinking of you joining me to visit Twilight. She misses you, you know.”
>You nod.
>”I was wondering when I should go visit my favorite sister.”
>Cadance moves closer and lies on your chest.
>She liked doing that.
>On the other hand, she was dangerously close to stabbing your neck.
>Love hurts.
>Oh, you just did not use that.

>You hold a small bag of candy, and take a deep breath.
>Deep breaths, Anon.
>You walk across the familiar path, passing through the soft grass, and the hedge.
>The Sparkle Residence.
>You knock on the door, and you can soon hear some rustling inside.
>”I’m coming!”
>You know that voice.
>Twilight.
>”Hello, how may I-“ Twilight magically opens the door.
>She grins widely at your sight.
>”ANON!” She jumps to you.
>Woah, for a filly, she can jump.
>And magic.
>Fucking ponies.
>”He-hey!” You wrap your sister in a tight hug.
>The two of you try to beat each other in your caresses.
>You let Twilight win anyway.
>You fall to your back, laughing as Twilight giggles and beats you in the neck-break hug.
>You taught her well.
>You ruffle her mane, and smile.
>She continues to giggle.
>You hand her the small bag of candy, and support yourself with your elbow.
>”So, wanna go hangout with your be-be-be-eff-eff today?”
>Twilight runs a hoof through her chin, before crossing them.
>”No.”
>”What do you mean, no?”
>”You left me for a while that, and you think I’ll just hang out with you?”
>”… Yeah?”
>”No.”
>You look at her and give her the best duck face you can give.
>”Twalot pls.”
>She actually turns her face into a duck and faces you.
>”Anun pls.”
>The two of you have a stare off, still with the face on.
>”Hey, guys, how are you-“ Cadance is cut off by the sight.
>She stares at the two of you with horror.
>”Anon, what are you doing?” Cadance takes a step back.
>You turn and face the mare.
>You also turn your face into a duck.
>”Cadunce, pls.”
>”Cadunce pls.”
>The two of you say at the same time.
>Cadance turns pale and slowly turns away.
>”Cadance! Wait, I’m just kidding!” You stand and run up to her.
>Twilight jump to the grass, laughing.
>She then notices you gone, and droops low.
>She frowns, and looks up to the sky.
>You suddenly run back in, holding Cadance under one arm.
>”I can’t forget my favorite filly, now can’t I?” You smile and pick up Twilight under your other arm.
>Twilight smiles, before giggling, waggling her small legs about.
>You sigh, and start running off to the park.
>Your arms are getting tired.
>This is going to be a long day.

>You pant, and drop the two mares on the grass.
>You fall to your knees, tired.
>”You two will be the death of me.” You close your eyes.
>Cadance comes up and gives you a light peck on the cheeks, then lies next to you.
>Twilight hurdles under your arm, and uses it as a pillow.
>The three of you bask under the warm morning sun for a while, feeling the cool mountain air, the soft brush of the grass, and so on.

>You stand and grab Twilight.
>You hoist her over your head and run to the fields.
>You’re playing airplane again.
>You fucking loved that game.
>BRRROOOOOOOMMMM
>You run through the park, making weird noises.
>You get strange stares, but fuck it; you’re the captain of the guard.
>Also, you’re with your best friend-sister.
>Your LSBFF.
>You don’t have the world to care.
>Cadance watched the two of you, smiling to herself.
>Anon needed this, she thought.
>You finally tire out after ten minutes of running around.
>Twilight is still giggling like crazy.
>You ruffle her mane, and set her down on the grass.
>You put your hands to your hips.
>”Now, who’s hungry?”
>Twilight points at you.
>At the same time, your stomach rumbles.
>”Oh, you” You smile down to Twilight.
>Cadance trots over, and brings out a picnic blanket.
>”You go get us some food, I’ll set up here.”
>You nod, and walk towards the nearby shop.
>”Lady bug, lady bug-“
>You turn and see the two of your favorite mares.
>Sorry, Fleur, but Twilight beats you in the list.
>You can see the two of them doing their special dance.
>What the fuck was with that?
>Mares.

>”Hey, Anon, what brings you out here?” Soarin comes up.
>”How, it going, Soarin?” You hold up your hand.
>You then high-five the stallion, swing your forearm forward, and he does the same.
>After the low-five was done, the two of you slide it over each other, pull back, and then bump.
>”Just watching over two mares, you?”
>”A-are they dancing?”
>You sigh.
>”Yeah.”
>”Psh, mares.”
>”Don’t remind me.”
>”Anyway, Anon, I got this new handshake worked up, wanna see it?”
>”Do I? Shoot.”
>”Okay, it goes like this…”

>Cadance let Twilight run around again- she does have lots of energy.
>Fillies- never change, Twilight.
>She smiled at Twilight, and turned to look for Anon.
>What is taking his so long?
>Then she saw you with Soarin- doing some weird dance?
>”Stallions.” She rolls her eyes.

>Right, grab something to eat.
>Sandwiches? No, too plain.
>Fruits? Maybe.
>…
>Yeah, definitely sandwiches.
>Not the goddamn dandelions ones, good god.
>For some reason, Twilight loves it.
>That poor soul.
>After buying few sandwiches, you grab some coffee for yourself.
>You, after all, need the quick boost to keep up with Twilight.
>After a lunch, you decide to walk around more.
>Cadance shot you a condescending look after you brought in more sandwiches.
>Twilight complained that there were no dandelions.
>Twilight, it is for your own good.
>You have Twilight on your shoulders, resting her head on yours.
>”So, where do you wanna go now?”
>Cadance walks silently next to you, watching intently.
>”How about the museum?” Twilight pokes your head.
>Museum.
>What on Equestria, Twilight.
>”Twi, I don’t think-“
>”That’s a great idea, Twilight!” Cadance chimes in.
>Et tu, Cadance?
>”Fine, to the museum, it is.”
>You groan and start your walk there.
>Museums.
>She might as well start tending to the elderly.
>Suddenly, Twilight pulls on your hair.
>”Hm?” You look up to see Twilight.
>She grits her teeth and points sideways.
>What could be- Oh.
>The toy store.
>Twilight is pointing at a certain item- is that a doll?
>”A doll, Twilight?”
>”Pleeeeeeeaaaaassseeeeeeee?”
>You check your crying purse.
>Nope.
>”Nah.”
>”Come oooonnnnn, I’ll even give it a name; ‘Smarty Pants’!”
>”Yeah, nice try, Smarty Pants, come on, let’s go.”
>Twilight whined all the way, but you heeded no mind.
>And mom said all that sessions of shout fights with her was pointless.
>Before you go, you catch the tag- five bits?
>You note it and continue.

>Once at the museum, Twilight’s whines are replaced by her ramblings.
>She knows more than you do.
>It would be scary, if you weren’t SO. DAMNED. PROUD.
>At least the female side of the Sparkle family is smart.
>You pretend to hear Twilight’s detailed explanation, as she lectures you each bit of information.
>Speaking of bits…
>”Anon!” You hear a call.
>It’s Soarin again.
>”Hey, Soarin, you stalking on me again?”
>You can see that he is panting, and with that pale look on his face-
>This can’t be good.
>Stalking was bad too, but that was for the fun of it.
>”The Princess needs to see you now.”
>Before you can answer, Soarin is away.
>You turn to Cadance and Twilight; who looks to you sadly.
>”Do you have to go?” Twilight looks down on the floor.
>”Sorry, Twilight, I really have to go. Cadance, can you stay with Twilight?”
>”Of course, she’s my favorite foal.” Cadance ruffles Twilight’s mane and gives you a worried smile.

>”Hey, Twi.”
>You crouch in front of the filly.
>”How about I promise you to hang out another day?”
>”A full day?”
>”A full day.” You smile, ruffling her mane.
>She looks up and smiles.
>God, that’s cute.
>”With candy?”
>”With a bucket load of candy.”
>Twilight comes and gives you a hug, which you gladly return.
>”So, Wednesday?”
>”Okay, Anon.”
>You squeeze her one more time, and get up.
>You don’t forget to give Cadance a kiss, and start making your way.
>”Stay safe.” Twilight whispers, looking down.
>Before you head out, you make sure to stop by the toy store again.
>You smile as you look at the doll (and the complementary notebook and quill) and imagine Twilight giggling over it.
>You don’t forget to wrap the gift- you chose purple and violet wrappings.

>As you arrive, you are immediately thrust into your armor.
>”Sorry to get you in such short notice, Anonymous. But we have an urgent matter.” Celestia speaks.
>You place the gift under your breastplate, keeping it safe.
>”The minotaurs are back. Greater in numbers now.”
>You nod.
>They have been warned.
>You look over your squad and then to shining.
>They all return the gaze.
>You nod again, ready.
>Right, time to kick some ass, and then be back for dinner.
>You can’t help smiling like an idiot as you feel the gift in your armor.
>Twilight is going to love this.
>And then the two of you can have a special day.

>Wednesday.
