//-------------------------------------------------------// Ice; The Mare Across the street -by Lovensky- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 Wow, I can't stop thinking about that new mare that moved in across the street from your apartment. I found out that her name is Ice and that mane and coat really represents her name. A mixture of black and white with a bright white coat like fluffy snow. Anyways, I find myself again staring out my second story window at her leaving for work once again. Never being able to even just say hi to her when I cross paths on the street, or anywhere... I'm a little shy... okay, scratch that, VERY shy. My name is BlueFire, I'm just your average Pegasus. A nice blue coat with a light green mane, I make it look like that one DJ's mane, Vinyl Scratch. I sigh and start to get ready for work. I leave for work a few minutes later and go throughout my day, just a normal day, boring as usual. after work I get home exhausted and go straight to bed, at least tomorrow is Saturday, my only day off. I sleep for a few hours before waking up in the early afternoon. I slowly get out of bed and into the kitchen, sit down and make myself a small breakfast. After maybe a half an hour there is a knock on the front door, probably another door-to-door pony trying to get me to buy something Either way, I get up and make my way over to the door and take a peek through the peephole. I see the black and white mare that you watch every morning. I quickly back away from the door and try to think why reasons she would be on the other side of your door, I start to panic if I should open the door and talk to her or pretend I'm not home. Another glance through the peephole just to make sure it was her. Yes, it is defiantly her. I could tell by her nice blue eyes. Taking a big gulp I slowly unlock the door and crack it open, looking through the crack at her. She notices and look back at me "um, hello?" she says quietly but just enough for you to hear her. Her voice is soft and gentle, a little bit like Fluttershy's but a little different. "H-hi..." I manage to choke up. "sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you had any sugar. I know how stupid that sound but the market is pretty far.. and I've noticed you a few times in the mornings when I'm going to work." My face goes slightly red, but she doesn't seem to notice. I nod in acceptance and trot back into the kitchen and take out a small container and fill it about half way with sugar and take it back over to the door. "oh thank you, it really means a lot" she says as she takes the small box. "here, take this" she opens a small saddle  on her side with her mouth and put the sugar in and takes out a small bag that jingles slightly, obviously being a bag of bits. "Oh... umm.." She places the bag in my hoof, still holding out from giving her the sugar, I look down at it and by the weight it feels like about 10 bits. "I can't take this..." you extend your hoof back over to her. "No, I insist." "No, really I don't need it" You step a little closer to her and put the bag back into her saddle. She looks back at you for a moment before giving you a slightly smile. I slowly smile back at her. "Thanks again, you are really nice" "Anytime." I quickly respond. She trots down the hallway and down the stairs. I close the door and smile again "I think I'm in love..." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 I keep doing the same thing for a few weeks, but something was off... I stopped staring at Ice in the mornings, well, stopped staring as much. Maybe every other day. But, I stopped seeing her in the mornings, really at all. on Thursdays I usually pass her on the way home, but not the passed couple weeks. I started to get kind of worried. On Friday I did my normal routine. Got ready and when't outside. I seen a small pink piece of paper on Ice's door, I slowly walk across the street. I was really to early for anypony to really be out anyway. "an eviction notice... " I thought for a second about it and it would make sense, her not going to work would mean she wasn't making money, so she wasn't paying rent. But why? Where did she go? Then... I did it... I knocked on the door like an idiot, not really thinking at all of what I was doing. I knocked a few times before waiting for her to answer. I waited maybe a minute before I knocked once again, waited another minute but still no answer. I sigh and start to walk to work. But, after getting about half way down the street, I heard a door open behind me. I was to scared to look back but I did stop walking. I waited for her to say something but I didn't hear anything. I take a deep breath and close my eyes and turn around, and when I open them I see her... just a couple inches from my face. I back up quickly. "yeah?" she says quietly. "I was uhh...  you had a... uhh... note.. on your door" She turns back and looks back at her door and walks back over to it. She rips it off the door and reads it. "no... I know I was late on rent but... I didn't think I was that late, doesn't help that I got fired too..." I look over at her confused. "you got.. fired? why?" "its not really your business, is it?"  "oh... sorry..." she begins to walk back inside "wait..." I say and get closer to her "If you do lose your house... you can... uhh..." I blank for a second "I can what?" "s-stay with me... in my apartment" I was starting to get a little more courage "thanks but, I'll be able to manage" she says before going back inside. I sigh and look down a the ground, I turn back around and start to head to work. Throughout the day I kept thinking about her, and what happened and why she could have gotten fired. I get home and crash into my bed just as I usually do and fall asleep quickly. I wake up int the middle of the night, its pitch black in my room ,I reach over and turn on my side table lamp and rub my eyes. I look around the room, its quiet. I hear a small yawn next to me, I jump a little as I look on the other side of the bed. "Ice's...?" Ice just sleeping next to me in my bed, what the hell? I nudge her to wake her up, she rolls over and nuzzles her head into my arm. I smile and lay back. After a moment she wakes up "hey baby... what did you need?" "u-umm... " I go silent "I know what you need..." she slowly lifts up a little and gets up on the bed and makes her way other to me. I blush badly as she lays on top of me, her coat brushing gently against mine. I start to get a little excited. She leans down and slowly presses her lips against mine, and I wake up... again... I look over at the clock and its 11:00 in the morning now, Ice isn't on top of me and there are beams of light coming through the blinds from outside. Don't you hate that? just as your wet dreams start getting good they just end. I lift the blanket up and look down at myself rock hard from my dream. I sigh and get out of bed not bothering to get it down before I get up. I'm not bragging but... I am pretty large. at least from what I've read I'm slightly bigger then average for a Pegasus, earth ponies being the largest and Pegasus's being second and unicorns third. Anyway, I wasn't really hungry so I just got into the shower, I wash myself and hair, my hard-on goes down by the time I'm done and I get out and dry myself off. my hair still a little wet still but I walk back out into the living room, as I do. Theirs a knock on the door... I open it without bothering to see who it is. Ice... With a pillow and suitcase... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 "Hi..." she said first "I see you changed your mind" I replied "I didn't really have a choice... the landlord kicked me out.." I move out of the way of the door so that she can come inside. She walks inside and looks around, its kind of messy but not that much, maybe a few things out of place that make it look messy. She puts  her suitcase down next to the couch and puts the pillow on the couch. "Just make yourself at home..." She looks back at me and walks back to me, she gets really close as I back up a little, just like on the street. Without warning she just presses her lips against mine. I eyes widen for a split second before I relax and start to enjoy it. But because I even start to move my lips against hers she pulls away and smiles "Thanks for letting me stay here" "y-your... welc-come." I smile back. She goes back over to the couch and sits down, I go and sit next to her and turn the tv on, I pinch myself just to make sure that actually just happened. It did, I couldn't stop smiling. Since I've never actually really talked to her before I didn't know what her personality was like... I think I'm going to like it. We both watch tv late into the night. We didn't really talk much but it was still fun. It was about ten at night already but I really didn't want the day to end, probably the best Saturday I've had in a very long time. I look over at Ice on the over side of the couch, she was already asleep. I thought for a moment and I remember the last time I slept on this couch I woke up with a bad kink in my neck, and I didn't want her to end up with that, but I also didn't want her to wake up with me moving her... What the hell.. if she wakes up I'll explain it to her. I slowly move over to her and put one hoof on her back and put my other hoof under her legs and slowly pick her up. She moves around a little but doesn't wake up. I sigh in relief and walk into my bed room. I slowly lay her down on the other side of the bed and get in next to her. "She is actually right here..." I stay to myself in amazement. I pull the blanket over the both of us and almost fall asleep instantly. What an amazing day... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 I try to realize what just happened, I keep seeing those big blue eyes in my head, I just can't stop thinking about her. And she has noticed me staring out my window at her? great, now she probably thinks I'm weird and crazy. But... what if she doesn't? Maybe she likes me ba- whoa... I need to calm down, I go over to my uncomfortable couch and sit down and turn on the tv , trying to get my mind off her. It didn't really help at all, because every once and a while I kept seeing her beautiful face. I know I'm about to do something stupid, but I'm going to do it anyway. I stand up and head out the door, down the hallway and down the stairs, going outside. It was a decent day, not to cold and not to hot, it felt nice. I took a deep breath and started to cross the street over to her house, but stopped about have way there. "I can't..." I say to myself, there wasn't really anypony around to hear me so I found myself talking to... well, myself. "She doesn't like me, she was in a rush just to get away from my front door..." I hang my head and turn around and go back across the street to my apartment. I felt really bad, I hated being so shy all the time, it was my only thing that kept me from talking to mares, or even just other ponies. Theirs a reason I live alone you know... I walk back up the stairs and back into my room, I didn't bother locking the door, I knew I wasn't going to be gone long and mostly all of the other ponies that live in the apartment are very nice. The more I thought about it, the more I realized. "Even if I did go over to her house and knock on the door and she answered, that the hell would I even say?" I sighed and when into my small bedroom and laid down. "So stupid..." I said to myself a couple times. "She probably thinks I'm a creep..." I added, making myself feel even worse. I close my eyes and try to rest a little, not trying to fall asleep though. I maybe lay in bed for 20 minutes before I get up and go into the kitchen. I always eat when I'm sad or upset, but I'm not fat. I never got how that worked because I was usually sad all the time. I get a bag of chips and begin eating them, they were stale from me leaving them out for a few days before putting them away, but it didn't really bother me. I go back to the couch and start to watch tv again. Nothing was on, so I eventually just turned it off and sat there in silence for almost an hour. I throw the chips onto my table without closing them and go back to bed to actually sleep. I took me a few hours to fall asleep but I eventually did. Tomorrow another boring day of work...
