Stick in the Maud.

" Well did you two get to chit-chat? " Pinkie asked with a giggle as she pounced atop Cheese with a playful smile, her hooves slowly running through his mane flirtingly.

" Hehe yeah. we chatted a bit it was really eye-opening." Cheese smirked while he gently scooted away from Pinkie and her playful touches as he looked over to Maud who had pushed her trolley into a corner to get out of the way.

" Yes. Cheese is how do I put it a Character..." Maud trailed off as the stallion galloped over to her side quickly and easily lifting the contents of the trolley onto his backside smirking.

" Oh no! what kind of stallion would I be if I let a Filly carry all these heavy bags up the stairs by herself? " Cheese flashed a smile to Maud as her eyes met his a small blush appearing over her cheeks.

" Not a very good one!, Hehehe carry some stuff I've meant to put in my room upstairs too Cheesy." Pinkie giggled tossing a couple of boxes and bags atop his backside as well, causing Cheese to feel his legs wobble.

" Ack!, I mean okie-do...kie." Cheese trailed off his back arched down, body almost hitting the floor as he slowly climbed up the stairs towards the rooms trying to look strong in front of the mares.

" Oh Cheese so silly." Pinkie giggled as she bounced over to her sister happily.

" Yes he reminds me some of you." Maud spoke regaining her composure as she walked over to the nearby walls filled with photos.

" Really!, Hehehe don't say anything but I think he Likes me and not Like me, Like you-Like something sometimes, but Like me Like you Like-Like Something." Pinkie smiled making a squee sound as Maud simply gazed to her in silence just giving a nod.

" I'm...happy for you then Pinkie." Maud trailed off for a second before answering, her eyes returning to the wall so many happy times captured.

So many smiles.

Her turquoise eyes fell upon a photo from her childhood seeing herself off in the corner her face showing little to any emotion, is that how she really looked?

Did others find her cold?- is that why she sometimes felt so hollow?

" I like that picture it's my favorite because all my family is in it." Pinkie giggled giving Maud a tight hug as the mare felt those thoughts drift away, her mind falling back to her little sister.

" Thank you Pinkie that means a lot." Maud spoke as Pinkie giggled bouncing off again towards the stairs, Maud just watched as she left the room before she allowed a small smile to cross her lips.

Dinner on the first night went with little much happening.

Pinkie baked an array of nothing but sweet's to eat from cakes, pies and cupcakes it was quite the sight if you didn't care much for your dental care.

Pinkie chowed down like no tomorrow nomming and licking up the frosting off her plate as Maud simply lifted a slice of cake in her hoof daintily taking small bites from it, she didn't really care for sweets the way her sister did.

After a few stories from their past and a tale from Cheese about his travels, Pinkie suggested they call it an early night.

As she hinted that she had something special planned for the morning.

Each pony saying goodnight made their way to bed, Pinkie and Cheese agreed Maud should get the guest room while Cheese said he'd be happy on the couch.

As the lights went out for the night the true action began.

Loud snores could be heard from across the hall as Pinkie was rolled over on her backside on her bed, kicking her feet in a motion through the air as if she were running.

" Hmmmm. No!...umm-numm...Twilight don't eat my sister she's not really candy..." Pinkie murmured in her sleep as she tossed and turned, across the hall in the guest room Maud gazed up at the ceiling in deep thought.

Under the covers neatly with Boulder in her hoof she slowly stroked the rock gently as if patting an animal, her thoughts drifting to the day but more than that to Cheese.

" Oh Boulder.- why am I thinking of that goofy stallion this late at night?" Maud sighed aloud as her eyes almost seemed to glow in the dim light of the room.

" Hmmm? No of course I don't like him he's immature and goofy.- he laughs about everything like he see's good in all things." Maud sighed as she placed Boulder on her nightstand eyes gazing out the open window towards the star filled sky.

" He is quite sweet I guess, It's not a bad trait not as if he is a self-centered pony.- he seems to be genuinely caring." Maud huffed as she looked high to the sky her heart racing in her chest, it was something she was not used too.

She usually had her emotions in check but now they felt as if they were all over the place, like her insides were flying around inside her.

Almost as if they were fluttering.

Was this butterflies?

Sighing aloud once more she tossed in her bed.

Every time her thoughts drifted it drifted to him.

She felt smitten.

" Of course I like Pinkie!- she is the mare who put me on my life path! " Cheese sighed lying back on the couch his gaze falling to Boneless Two on the coffee table looking back to him blankly.

" I know Pinkie is sweet, funny and full of life but Maud she's...so elegant, classy and down to earth." Cheese smiled as his mind began to drift about the grey mare.

" Huh? Phst Maud is just new and new is good right? " Cheese asked Boneless Two who simply stared back blankly again.

" Sure Pinkie is almost just like me and I love that!- but think of this if I like Pinkie wouldn't that make me a Narcissist? " Cheese asked the toy chicken as he quickly grabed it shaking it slowly.

" Eh? Not so talkative now huh?! " Cheese spoke with a slight chuckle, his eyes narrowing the toy squeaking aloud softly.

" I know. I don't want to hurt Pinkie but if Maud is just here for a week.- then I think I'd like to get to know her more." Cheese winced as he gazed down and shook his head.

" Maybe you're right Boneless Two, Maybe I just need rest I'll be better at thinking about this with a good night sleep." Cheese calmed himself as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Hoping it would ring true, that things would look up in the morning.

Tossing and turning he knew it would be a long night his insides were floating high like butterflies.

His dreams slowly coming to him as he smiled, seeing those beautiful turquoise eyes.
