Tea time

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I woke up extremely early I looked around to see myself alone in the living room.

The sun wasn't even up and the moon was still high in space. I checked my time to see that it was 5:00 A.M.

I got up from the couch and made my way towards the back door. From the looks of it the clouds were leaving and making their way towards the south.

I loved how dark it could get such a closed off area from the city. I definitely needed to purchase a new home if they were going to stay then we'd need more space. The way things are going I'd be surprised if more ponies came. But that was a ludicrous thought.

I walked over to the kitchen and flicked on the lights. The fluorescent light flicked on as I went towards my tea kettle. I rarely drank tea as it was more of a relaxing beverage.

I turned on my tv to see that it was on channel 65. Nickelodeon one of my favorite channels as a kid back when shows were actually good and not that terrible teenager shit they put on these days.

It was still late so all they had on was full house now that was a funny show but not as funny as fresh prince. I remembered watching the show when I was younger I didn't get much of the jokes but it was funny to say the very least.

I started to heat up water and sat back down on the couch. I checked the calendar to see that it was 12th of September for some reason this month has been going slow. My sister were coming in about a few days and that'll be interesting to tell them about my houseguests.

They'd probably question my life choices or at least Dawn would Amy was mute so I came up with a system for me and her to use.

Every time she wanted something she'd tap my leg if I asked her a yes or no question then she'd snap her fingers.

It was pretty generic system but it worked.

I heard the kettle whistle as I rose from my seat and removed it from the burner. I poured myself a cup and set the kettle on the stove.

I then thought back to what Luna said what was Sweetie's deal its only been a few days and she's already developing feelings for me.

I'm not the best guy to go out with since I've only dated once and that ended because of long distant relationships never work.

I sighed as the TV played the ending theme of full house. Another episode was next and the sun was peaking over the horizon I could do a lot the next few days but I rather have sometime to think. With all the stress I'm dealing with I needed that.

I heard hoofsteps as I looked up it was Sweetie she seemed to be either extremely tired or she just woken up.

"Good morning micheal." She said with a smile. What she was wearing was stunning even in her tired state she looked like a goddess she had a long red T-shirt that past by her lap.

"Uh micheal are you okay?" She asked approaching me

"Huh did you say something?" I asked like an idiot

"I asked if you're okay?" She said with a giggle

"Oh yeah I just was looking at uh." I had to think of something before she got suspicious.

"The fridge." I said with an awkward chuckle

"The fridge okay then." She past by me as she grabbed a mug and pour herself a cup of hot water and added the teabag.

"Can I ask you a question?" Sweetie asked

"Sure what's in your mind?" I asked

"Well how was growing up here like what was it like living with your parents."

"Well that's one hell of a subject. Well my parents I'd call them the ones that tried. I mean they loved me supported me but never actually got me like I'd like one thing but they did everything in their power to support but it ended up being a huge waste of time."

"What about school have you ever gotten bullied?" She asked

"Tons to simple things like wearing glasses to the extreme where they'd call me wet back. I never understood what that meant when I was little. But when I got to high school that's when it got worse they'd call me racist terms like that. Eventually I got sick of hearing it that I punched the next person to say it."

"What does it mean?"

"It's a hurtful term for my race you see I'm Mexican American meaning my mother came from Mexico a different country and my father was American meaning he was born here. Anyway back to the word it's demeaning to say the least. It was difficult for me as a child but I toughed through it."

"I'm sorry if I brought any bad memories." Sweetie said with her head down

"It's fine it's wasn't your fault. Anymore questions?" I asked

"What about your sister have they gone through that?" She asked

"My sister oh no they never went through that. After awhile the racism in this country has gone down. On the topic of my sister now those two are fun to be around with." I said sipping my tea

"Why's that?" Sweetie asked sipping her tea

"Well even though one can't talk she always follows her older sister the one who talks a lot. They come up with all kinds of ideas for fun they'd be ones excited for the smallest thing."

Sweetie and I talk for about two hours we laughed and I went through my life. All in all this morning has been great and can't wait for what's up next. It was now 7:00 am.


Author's Note

Yeah I never actually said anything about Michael's nationality. So any mistakes or comments in the comments section below do you guys think I should get these chapters a bit longer.
