Love in the works.

You can fix this fixer-upper with a little bit of love!

Previous Chapter

A visit to the restroom (and putting a pair of pants back in their correct position) later, Pinkie and Sombra walked hand in hand through the corridors of Canterlot High. They looked almost terrifyingly in love. They had decided that it was lunchtime, and that a visit to Burger Queen was appropriate.

On their way they passed the doors of Ms. Heartstrings and Mr. Cranky. As they walked down the stairs, Pinkie got that far away look in her eyes that she had when thinking something really deep. Sombra noticed, but he waited until they walked out of the building until he said anything.

"Ok, Pinks, what's on your mind?"

Pinkie blinked. "Oh, Eh... nothing."

Sombra shook his head. "Come on, Pinks, there is never 'nothing' on your mind. And by default it's frosting. Come on, just say it."

Pinkie looked thoughtfully up to a window on the second floor of the School. "I was thinking of Lyra and Mr. Cranky and Ms. Harshwhinny, what they are doing today."

"Oh, well that's really something to think about...or not. Pinks, Ms. Heartstrings is practicing harp, the others are doing their boring work." He thought for a moment. "Ms. Harshwhinny might be out, though. I haven't seen her at the coffee mashine all day."

"Nope, She's in".

"Really? How do you know that?"

"I saw a shadow in her window just now."

Sombra stared at his Fiancee. "You seriously know which window is her's?"

"Yeppers! How else could you throw snowballs on it? Rainbow was best but I was second! I can do it still actually!"

She bent down to pick something throwable from the ground.

"Pinkie, you don't have to... no, not that rock...PINK..."

*Crash*

It was a perfect throw. Almost, at least. The stone luckily hit the window next to ms Harschwinny's office.

"Oopsie. hi hi"

"Pinkie..."

"Come on, Sombry! It was no big deal! The janitor will fix it next week. Now lets go get burgers!"

"Pinkie...Pinkie...ouch! Ok ok, I'm coming... but I'll be the one who'll hear her complaining about 'disturbance at work', you know!"

***
*crash*

"What was THAT!?" Ms. Harshwinny lifted her head. In an instant, the riding crop went down on her exposed bottom.

"Ah don't remember givin' ya permission to speak, did ah?"

"N-no..." The riding crop went down again.

"Ah beg yer pardon?"

"OW...No mistress Apple. Please forgive me."

"Hmm... perhaps...Ah'll think about it. Ehm... the ropes ain't to tight, are they?

"Mistress, they are exactly like I want them..."

A smile played on the mistress face. "Well then, lets start the treatment." She produced something big and black from a bag, and hissed "Squeal like a pig, bitch!"

The blinds in Mr. Cranky's office where not down to stop people from looking in, they were stopping the light from getting out.

An old radio gramophone in a corner played The Windows record "Baltimare woman" on low volume, and a lava lamp on the desk spread a greenish light over the room. Very laid back in his chair, mr. Cranky sat with a untypical wide grin on his face and a glowing joint in his left hand. He put the joint in his mouth, inhaled deeply and sighed. "Aaaahhh.... far out, man... spring break is AWESOME!"

***
Ms. Heartstrings office was buzzing with activity.

"oh, dusk, your the only one for me! I love you."

"I love you too, Elusive, but I can't cheat on Butterscotch "

"Don't worry, love will..." *DRRRRIIING* "oh, bummer..."

"hello, Lyra Heartstrings? Oh, hi Bonnie! Lunch? Yeah, I would love to, but I have a bit more paperwork to do...what? No, I am NOT playing with my "My little donkey"-dolls again. ... Ok, but... yeah but... Oh, you saw that... But... I only took Dusk Shine and Elusive with me. Yeah yeah, I know... Ah, come on, you're no fun! YES I know I lost our bet. Ok, The corner in half an hour. Yes I'm buying...ok, bye."

She put down her phone and looked at her dolls.

"No one ever understand us Burronies!"

Pinkie was halfway through her milkshake when her nose started to wiggle. "Ooo...someone is denying their true self again".

Sombra sipped his soda. "Your pinkie sense is amazing, kitten! But let them do what they want, now it's all about us. " He took her hand and smiled. She smiled back, giggled and rubbed her nose against his.
They looked deep into each other's eyes. Then Sombra said "You know what... I'm done for today! I'm leaving that little brat for another day. This afternoon will be you, me, the lake, some sodas, cupcakes, bathing clothes and to Tartarus with all what duty is!"

Pinkie smiled with whole her face and clapped her hands. Then she jumped over to Sombra, sat down in his lap and kissed him all over his face. "Sombry, that sounds wonderful!" But then her smile faded "but I kinda promised mr. Cake to work the whole day today. And...I can't really let him down."

Sombra's smile faded even more than Pinkie's, and they were sitting there, silent staring at nothing for some minutes. Then Pinkie's eyes brightened up, and her smile returned. "Oh! Oh! But he promised I could have tomorrow off instead! We stick to the cakes and sodas, but let's go to Canterlittle! You, me, the car, and the beach!" She added seductively "I'll even wear that red bikini you like "

Sombra swallowed. A short while his inner struggle was visible, but today, his bad side won.

Yeah, let's go with that! I'll post the phone to ms. Harshwhinny, tomorrow I'm out of that place!" He pulled Pinkie closer and kissed her.

"There's just one thing " Pinkie said. "How am I going to survive this afternoon without you?"

Sombra smirked. "I think I know how to take care of your little problem. What you need..." He started to stroke her leg. "Is some nice memories. We already have one or two... so let's make it three, huh?" He began to stroke her back with the other hand, all the way from her shoulders down to her butt. "The restroom is pretty big... and soundproof. And if I'm not mistaken, you forgot to put your panties on." His hand gently moved in under her skirt, slowly making it's way between her legs. Soon he found his prize, rewarding him with a *gasp* and a "Mmmmmm..." from Pinkie. "Thought so... How about some an, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor and zwichen?"
Her eyes were glewing with lust, and she grabbed his hand and pulled him away to the toilet area of the restaurant. And the last thing anyone heard before they closed the door was "Ich liebe dich, könig Sombra!"


Author's Note

I was quite happy with the original chapter, but one of the plans I scrapped was to show reactions of the other staff. The idea evovled to the idea that no one did any work other than Sombra. At first I thought they all had sex, but that seemed pretty predictable. Then I got the idea of Cranky being an old hippie, and then I wanted to give a nod to another favourite author of mine who gave the world it's second best crack-ship... Lyra was dull and predictable, but I ran out of good ideas, and went for a hommage to Space balls.

And a little continuity with the beggining of this fic in the end. So, this is it! i hope you enjoyed it. If not, I recommend Ulysses by james Joyce. Good night.
