A Heart of Gold.
Chapter 2: An Old Friend
Previous ChapterFor what felt like a eternity after knocking, soon, you hear movement inside the house, and eventually. . The door unlocked and slowly opened. .
"H-Hello?" A soft, feminine voice came from the now open door, the voice was gentle and soft, not to mention reassuring. . .But one thing stuck out. . .
You knew that voice from somewhere
the Déjà vu caused your ears to perk up and you to look up . . .to make immediate eye contact with the mare in front of you . . . . Her soft, gentle but piercing eyes stared into you'res, her sky blue mane that turned into a deep ocean blue by the edges flowed freely in the dawn breeze.
You knew that face from somewhere too
Her eyes widened with surprise and she gasps softly. . ."That was adorable. . . " you thought. .
"O-O-Orion?!" She says with a stutter, adding to her cuteness factor, a warm smile slowly spread across her muzzle and, before you could grasp what she was doing, tackled you in a tight and warm embrace, causing you to fall flat on you're back, and her to land onto your chest, you felt your face flush a deep shade of red, not expecting this greeting at all. . .
She was your old friend from school. . . . Sapphire Breeze. . . With the great memories you to shared with each other, your nervousness faded and you hugged her back, not too tight, but tight enough. . . .
"H-Hey Sapphire! It's been a while!" You say to her, still red in the face. . .You're blush deepens after you realised you stuttered, but she either didn't notice, or didn't care. . . She looked up and him, a huge smile on her face. . . . . .You thought she was cute back in school, but now. . .You realise shes now more mature. . . And more beautiful than ever. . . .
"Yeah! it has! I missed you so much!" She giggles again, your blush slowly faded and you chuckled. . . .Her face turned a deep shade of crimson. . .she just realised the situation. . .She got off from on top of you and helped you up, you did most of the work however, she helped. .But she wasn't the strongest pony. . .
"C-come in!" she says cheerfully, she trotted inside and beckoned you to follow. . .
You didn't need telling twice as you walked in and shut the door behind you. . ."This is amazing! My old friend! And it just so happend i was applying for a job for her! . . .Maybe this will go better than planed!" you think, following Sapphire into the living room. . .Were a young foal was playing with some square blocks, bashing them together and making cute, untranslatable noises. . Sapphire giggles and looks at her kid . . . "He looked just like her! Minus the mane colour." you thought as you looked at the child, he had the same fur colour, but his mane went from a light blue to a deep red. . . He turned and looked at you, his deep, innocent sapphire blue eyes stared into you'res just like Sapphire's did. . .He jolted up and ran behind Sapphire, he poked his head out from the side and stared at you. . .
"He's realy shy. . Like, realy. . .He'll come around though! Wont you Haze?" She said as she ruffles his mane, he giggles and nuzzles her leg, she giggles also. . . She then realised something and looked into you're eyes . . . .
"Orion? Are you the one who applied for the foal-sitter?!" She said. . .You smile and nodded proudly. .
"You bet!". . . .You're face flushed as you're voice cracked . . . . .She giggles and nods. . .
"Awesome! Let's get you ready! No need to be nervous!" she said, reassuring you by booping your nose , you scrunch your face and boops her back in response, she scrunched her nose and looked at her nose, blushing lightly. . .
This is gonna be a fun job. .
