Alina and Daisy - Adventures

Ch 3: The Ride Home

Daisy was driving on the road, the time was now approaching 9 P.M. Alina, was looking into her book, but was occasionally looking up to look at Daisy. She couldn’t tell whether it was because she was nervous that she’d suddenly step on the petal or something else…

Daisy glances at Alina’s seeing that she had looked at her, “Uh what’s up?”

“N-nothing just making sure you don’t speed up and cause my books to fly everywhere” Alina chuckles.

“I said I wouldn’t…but now I’m very tempted hehe…” Daisy smiles, turning her attention back to the road.

“Right, now I’m nervous…” Alina smirks jokingly. Daisy speeds up just 5mph more.

Alina feels the difference, “Hmm…” She says, as if letting Daisy know that she knew. Daisy slows back down.

“These spells…do you know any cool ones?” Daisy asks.

“Cool ones….?” Alina smiles. Her horn glows; the road in front of Daisy turns into ice.

Daisy suddenly panics, she was going 60 mph the sudden change of surface causes her to lose slight control, she was still able to somewhat keep it straight, another car shines it light from the other lane, that car was spinning around so Daisy jams the car into reverse and puts her hoof down causing the fat back wheels to spin back just in time to pull the car away from the other one. Daisy’s car spins, the front tires catch dirt first causing the car to whip around until the back tires get caught up in the dirt; the momentum causes the Challenger to roll onto its roof.

After it comes to a halt Alina was hyperventilating, tears streaming down from her eyes, “I-I’m so sorry!”

Daisy was steaming mad, her car, her custom built car was now on its roof top! What came next would be the accident report and insurance! What was Daisy supposed to say about that? That her ‘friend’ froze the road ahead of them? The insurance company wasn’t going to cover that! She looks angrily at Alina, “What the FUCK where you thinking!??” Alina doesn’t say another word; she was trembling with fright. Daisy, realizes Alina was traumatized, if a simple power slide got her riled up, she could only imagine what this was doing to her. “Alina…let’s just…get out of the car.” Alina doesn’t move. Daisy pinches the two buttons on the side of the buckle and twist it to the right; the straps all unbuckle at same time. She then crawls out and goes to her side. Suddenly the car flips back over right side up, due to Alina’s magic, Daisy opens the door, luckily roll cage had worked, not crushing the inside; Alina looks at Daisy with scared eyes.

“L-let’s get out of here…” Alina tells Daisy; the road had been normalized back to its regular surface.

Daisy looks at Alina, “I’ll be back!” She takes off without another word. Alina watches as she flies into the air.

“Wait wait!” Alina shouts out, but Daisy was too focused on where she was going to pay attention to her. Alina fidgets with the buckle, eventually slipping out the seat belt. She then opens the door, crawling out not knowing what else to do, so she sits by the car eyes wide with terror.

Twenty minutes’ pass, Daisy retunes with the truck and trailer; she saw that Alina was by the wrecked car, looking off into the night sky. “Alina! I’m here” She approaches the mare. “Alina!”

“Y-yes…?” Alina turns to her.

“Get in the truck and wait for me”

“Okay…” Alina stands up and wobbles to the truck. Daisy sighs a little, she was mad yet felt empathy towards Alina. Daisy grabs the winch off the trailer, fastening it to the hook on the front of the car. After securing it, she comes in the running truck and looks at Alina who was randomly staring out the window.

“Are you…okay?” Daisy says, her voice was a mixture of angriness and compassion.

“uh….hu….” Alina says, still staring out the window.

“I’m taking us back to my place”

“…Okay” Alina doesn’t give another alternative, right now her mind was still in a frenzy, she was contemplating life. Daisy nods and drives the truck away.

After another 25 minutes, they reach Daisy’s house. Daisy parks the trailer next to the garage door and hops out, “Come in the house Alina” Alina, zombie-like, gets up and follows her into the house, taking a seat on the couch. “Can I get you anything?”

Alina nods, “Water…”

Daisy flies over to the sink and fills a cup up for her, “Here you go”

“Thanks. I’ll sleep here then?”

“Yeah, unless you want my bed?” Daisy suggest, Alina gets up no saying yes or no and searches for her room. “It’s upstairs first door” Alina gets in and closes the door, “Uh, okay guess you’re taking the bed” Daisy hops onto the couch and closes her eyes.

Over the night, Daisy could hear some strange noises coming from upstairs. “What is that mare up to…?” Daisy places a pillow on her head. As more time in the night passed by, Daisy slept. Alina had awakened and creeped downstairs she had gotten over the accident’s experience and was now thirsty.

“Cups…in the top drawer on the fridge?” Alina couldn’t remember, she glowed her horn to see ahead of her. She starts opening the cabinet, she found not cups, but cylinder like objects and batteries. Alina’s sleepy eyes couldn’t tell what they were so she took one thinking it was a cup. Going to the sink the washes the object and heads back upstairs. Daisy’s ears perk up, she goes to the running sink and turns it off.

“I don’t remember leaving this running…” Daisy sees a light upstairs and shrugs, going back to sleep.

Several hours later, Daisy wakes up to the screams of Alina, “WHAT IS THIS!?” Daisy gets up quickly and flies upstairs. The door was locked.

“Alina! Open up! What’s wrong??” She hears some movement inside; the Alina opens the door.

“S-sorry, just a um, bad dream? Yeah bad dream hehe, you can go back to sleep now” Alina says with a false chuckle.

Daisy looks at her unsure, “Is that really all? Wait, did you leave the faucet running?”

“The faucet…yeah I think I did, sorry I was getting something to drink, I must’ve left it running.” Alina says, she slightly looks out the window, the sun was just barely starting to come out. Alina yawns and nuzzles on Daisy’s pillow. “I’m going back to sleep if you don’t mind”

Daisy looks at her for a second, “Oh so it was a scary dream, will you be okay, or do you…want company?”

“Nah, it’ll be okay heh” Alina rubs her snout on the warm pillow, and closes her eyes.

“I’ll be down here if you need me, but I’m going out to work at 8, so if you wake up late, I may be gone” Daisy states, starting to leave the room. She peers over as Alina nods and hugs the pillow. Smiling, she goes back down the stairs laying back on the couch.

“Phew, that was close…” Alina takes a deep breath; she closes the window blinds and looks at the time, 5 A.M. exactly. Yawning she places the bed sheets over herself and gets warmed up. Before she started falling asleep, she could smell the scent of Daisy on the pillows and all around her; she liked it.

Eight A.M. came around with Daisy opening her eyes. She did not need an alarm to wake her up, but still had one upstairs which blared out shocking Alina to awareness. “Gah! Make it stop!” Alina yells out, she covers her head with a pillow. Daisy zooms upstairs and comes in, Alina had left the door open.

“Don’t worry, it’s just this button right here” Daisy presses a yellow button that shut it off.

“Thanks…” Alina says from under the pillow; she was on her belly’s side; the covers were on the floor. Daisy giggles and puts them over her gently, “Thanks again…are you leaving?”

“Mhm, you want to come, or stay here?” Daisy asks the lazy pony.

“I want to go…but I’m tired.” Alina replies from under the pillow.

“Alright, I’m going to go then, there’s a bus stop about a mile south of here if you want to leave somewhere” Daisy trots out.

“Wait!” Alina says suddenly, “There’s still no food in your house”

“We can get some later, right now I have to go. If you’re hungry…um, there must be something! See ya!” Daisy rushes into the garage into the only truck that was still function. She looks sadly at her wrecked car and leaves the house.

Meanwhile, though still tired, Alina gets up and picks up the object she had mistakenly taken the night before, “Who knew Daisy needed this” She giggles and goes down to the kitchen, placing it carefully back in its spot. “Food…” Her stomach growls, she opens up other cabinets, finding soups and ravioli. “Oh yeah! Perfect!” She takes a can out props it open to the familiar saucy scent of Boyardee. She pours it into a bowl, heating it up for three minutes. “Ding!” The microwave sounds off that the meal is ready. “Yes!” She starts to eat her wonderfully cheap, but tasty meal.

After those brief moments of joyful eating, she looks in the fridge finding only one beer left. Alina shrugs and takes it, and drinks it. Almost at an instant, Alina loses it, her body was weak against any sort of alcohol. She looks at the bottle and chugs down half of it. “Mm, so yummy!” Daisy unlock the door and walks in.

“Hey Alina, just forgot my uniform and…is that my last beer??” Daisy looks at the silly mare who was acting strange and off balance.

“Hey! You smell...sooo good!” Alina squees and comes up to her.

“Uh…” Daisy starts.

Alina looks her in the eyes, “And pretty wings…”

Daisy blushes, “Thanks?” She was about to say something else, but not before Alina plants a kiss on her soft lips. Daisy’s eyes widen, she didn’t know whether to back off, puch her away, or enjoy the kiss.

Lucky for Daisy, Alina backs away before she had a chance to decide. “Hey, you liked that didn’t you?” Alina asks.

“Only half a bottle made you do that..?” Daisy picks takes the bottle away from Alina. “You really have a low tolerance” Daisy chuckles a bit. She notices Alina was looking both at the bottle and at her. “Why don’t you go lay down?”

“Why don’t you give me another kissy?” Alina smiles and starts approaching her again.

“I-I have to go to work Alina...” Daisy says shyly.

“Then…skip work…” Alina stokes Daisy’s mane, causing her to blush.

Daisy nearly couldn’t help herself, but resisted, “I’m taking you back to the couch. Um, don’t move from that spot” Daisy pushes her towards the couch.

“No, I don’t wanta!” Alina giggles staying in place, she sits down and turns her head.

“Oh come on Alina, it’s right there” Daisy reasons.

“Okay, but I want you on there with me…” Alina says, going to the couch.

“I’m already late to work Alina...” Daisy sits next to her, she was becoming very nervous.

“Okay, go to work then!” Alina pushes her off without notice.

“Hey! What was that for??”

“You think I’m ugly…” Alina starts.

“I never said that even once Alina...” Daisy stands up, “I think you’re…you are…”

“Yes…?” Alina says, with an overly emotional tone.

“You are beautiful…okay…I have to go to work now…” Daisy faces Alina briefly and smiles, “Behave yourself, and no more alcohol.” Daisy goes upstairs, changes, and looks at Alina, who sat there in mild confusion, she looks at the bottle.

“Hmm no more? But there’s still half a bottle left!” She levitates it over to herself.

Daisy quickly snatches it away, drinking the remains, “Uh uh no more left”

Alina frowns and sticks out her tongue. “Meanie!”

“Mhm, bye bye” Daisy leaves the house.

Alina stares at the door, “I wonder what clothes she has…” She rushes upstairs, diving into Daisy’s closet, going through mostly larger clothes and some seemingly old uniforms “This one looks sooo cute!” She grabs an outfit, smelling it, “Mm!” She strips off her own clothes and puts on Daisy’s. “It doesn’t fit though” She looks at the bagginess of her current clothing. She slips it off, “She must have something that fits me!” She continues her search trying to find the perfect one. By the time she finds something comfortable, most of the clothes were trashed out, laying all over Daisy’s room. Alina falls asleep on her clothes and sleeps in the pile of clothes, she buries herself under them and snores.

Hours later she wakes up to the ringing of a house phone in Daisy’s room, “What...is it now?” Alina was now back to her sober self, she picks up, “Hello, Daisy’s house?”

“It’s Daisy silly, are you feeling better?”

“Yeah…” She looks around the trashed room, “Yes…”

“Good, I’m going to go on break in a thirty minutes, I was planning on coming back home and picking you up for lunch”

“Lunch! Um, yeah! I’m pretty full hehe” Alina starts hassling around, picking up.

“You sure? I thought you said there was no food in my house?”

“I ate ravioli!”

“You did?? That ravioli is from before Celestia became our ruler!”

“What??”

“No, it’s not, but it’s probably overdue”

“Oh…shit...” Alina hangs up and rushes to the restroom looking for something that would help her stomach calm down. She suddenly cramps a bit, falling on the floor, “This is not good…” A few minutes later it passes and she gets up, resuming her cleaning. As she whistles and cleans, a sudden surge of vomit comes out through mouth onto the clothes. “Uh…uh…” Alina looks at it with disgust. “Daisy’s gonna kill me…” She cleans it up the best she can and carries the clothes to the washer.

She looks around Daisy’s house; it was actually not it such a clean state. “Maybe I should just clean her house, it’s the least I can do after all I’ve done” Alina instantly starts to clean up everything she could with her magic, throws out the trash, cleans the toilet, the showers, the blind’s dust, all the laundry, washes the dishes, and puts new covers on Daisy’s bed. “Phew…that’s the last thing…” She says as she places the clothes into the closet into a neat stack. The phone rings again.

“Yes Daisy?” Alina answers.

“This isn’t Daisy, it’s the rent manager of this neighborhood.” A male voice says, “Who are you?”

“I’m a friend of Daisy’s” Alina says.

“Well, tell Miss Daisy Dodge that her payments are overdue by two months. If she doesn’t pay by tomorrow, I’ll have no choice but to order a withdraw from her for the property. Along with sending in ponies to get her stuff out and credit loss in the bank!” He says in an angry tone.

“Oh…okay, I’ll let her know” Alina hangs up and sits down, she recalls seeing the bills on the table. “I have to do something about that…”
