Alina and Daisy - Adventures

Ch. 6: A Day or Two

Alina drove them up to Daisy’s house and stops in the parkway, “Here’s your stop ma’am” she says to Daisy.

“My stop hehe, are you getting off to walk me to the door?” Daisy hops off, Alina does so as well.

She sticks next to Daisy’s side, “There we are you’re at the door” Alina smiles.

“Want to come in?”

“I’d rather not, mom’s going to get mad.” Alina says in a somewhat casual tone.

“So? You’re over 18”

“Maybe some other time Daisy, I had a good time today” Alina gives her a smooch starting to walk off.

Daisy blushes, “As did I, um see you around Alina” Alina smiles, getting into her restored truck and leaves with Daisy watching,

Once she’s out of view, Daisy closes her door and hops on the couch “Gah! What did I just do?? I shouldn’t have been so fast! It was only a day…” She complains to herself, putting a pillow on her face. “It’s because of those damned drinks! I shouldn’t have tried to get her that way, I ended up that way…what was I hoping to accomplish getting her that way??” She mumbles as her face is stuffed by the pillow. “She’ll probably hate me once she realizes what I tried…and then we…too fast…” Daisy throws the pillow across the room and gets up, she heads upstairs getting in the shower.

Alina was also with her own doubts as she drove, she kept recalling the accident and shivers as she passes the spot. “No…I can’t believe I screwed up that badly…” She drives onward, “And then I slept in her bed- She said it was all good though...” Alina thinks, “Did I repay her my making out with her…she sure seemed to have liked it…but she was drunk. Then again I was too earlier…” Alina passes a red light without noticing. “I’m good with her, she’s my…marefriend now. Wow. She’s my marefriend. I have a marefriend…” The thought was new to her, the fact that she now had a girlfriend. Alina had never been keenly attracted towards mares, she didn’t mind either. Alina keeps repeating this thought all the ride home.

A day goes by, neither Alina nor Daisy had contacted each other for that period. Daisy was now at work, she goes up to Fred, “Hey um has that mare come in today? You know, the one who teleported the engine in?”

“Yes she did to finish paying off the work done in here, but also to cancel the other job on the truck’s body. She told me she got it fixed” Fred says.

“Oh, I fixed it” Daisy smiles a bit.

“It’s not marked that you did…”

“Er, oh um right I did it at my house. With her permission of course” Daisy says.

“Oh?”

“I did it for free” Daisy tells him.

“Alright, good. I didn’t want to have to bring her in and have to confirm things and other paperwork” Fred chuckles. “Anything else you want to tell me also weren’t you sick?”

“Um yeah heh, but I was at home so I felt good working there. Also nah that’s all hehe” Daisy starts to go.

“But she did mention you” Fred comments.

“Oh? She did?” Daisy pretends not to care much.

“Yeah, she said something about what a good worker you were and even talked to Miss Viola about you.”

“S-she did? Ahem, what’d Miss Viola say?” Daisy leans her arm on the desk.

“Nothing much I suppose, don’t expect anything special” Fred states.

“Oh wow, you got me all excited” Daisy chuckles.

“I mean you already have the highest position in mechanic here…unless you want to take my spot as her assistant.” He smirks.

“I wouldn’t dream of such a spot, behind a desk. Yuck” Daisy giggles and goes back to work. She sighs as she stops chuckling.

The day felt as if it dragged on for longer than it should have, Daisy did her work, but was distracted at the thought of Alina all day. Though this distraction didn’t hinder her from doing a good job, she didn’t finish as many cars as she would have hoped for. She looks outside, having called a taxi, she watches it drive up to the shop. With a sigh, missing her car, she hops into the cab, heading in the direction of the Canterlot Library.

“Can you um, turn off the music please?” Daisy asks the cab driver.

“Yes of course” He looks at her through the cab’s mirror, “Everything okay?”

“Sort of…” She leans on the door, “Thanks for asking”

“No problem, I like talking to my customers, you can find out some pretty interesting things.”

“Oh?”

“I had one of those secret agents on board once. He didn’t tell me much, but we got into a situation that involved my cab being shot at” He chuckles, “That was a good day of work” He goes on telling his tale, but Daisy drones parts of it out, only nodding and pretending to be responsive. After some time elapses, Daisy is dropped off at the library, she pays the stallion, saying her good byes. She looks at the doors of the immense library; she could only remember entering it once as a filly on a field trip.

“Here goes nothing…” She enters, around her, she was surrounded by books and silent ponies, hard at work. Steadily, she walks through the building trying to find the mare. Soon she quickly spotted her, up on the second the floor; she was leaning next to some glass, reading.

Daisy approaches Alina, “H-hey there Alina” She smiles.

Alina looks up, “Oh hey, I was just looking into this book, it has some rocks that I need to grind up for a brew”

“Uh...like a witch brew?” Daisy asks.

“Nah, it’s more like for remedies not curses.” Alina smiles, turning a page.

“Hey…so what have you been up to?” Daisy sits by her.

“This mostly, it’s been a mix that I’ve been trying to do for a while, it heals wounds pretty quickly.” Alina says, excited.

“Oh, neat, you want to go out somewhere later?” Daisy asks, wanting to hear a yes.

“Sure thing, where do you want to take us?”

Daisy blanks out, not having thought of a place, “How about another dinner?”

“Hehe, oh another ‘dinner’?” Alina giggles, “Okay, but no alcohol this time.”

“Y-yeah” Daisy grins, “I’ll be waiting outside”

“No, stay here, I can’t take this book out with me.” Alina scooches her close to her.

Daisy leans onto her shoulder and smiles, looking at the nonsense words and figures in Alina’s book, “What is all that...?”

“Magical properties, measurement, and the pictures are either equations or how an item looks.” Alina nuzzles her ear a little.

Daisy didn’t really know, “Oh okay hehe, your muzzle is soft”

“Thanks, heh, you need a shower” Alina says, making her sniffing noise obvious to Daisy.

“Oh stop it…” Daisy smirks, sniffing Alina’s cleaner mare scent, “Mm..” She closes her eyes, putting a wing around her. Alina grins, reading her book.

After stopping at a spot, she sets the book away with her magic and lifts Daisy’s sleeping head up, kissing her forehead, “Wakey wakey…”

Daisy groans, “Alarm…”

“No, it’s Alina silly” She kisses her head again. Daisy forms a smiles, yawning.

“How long did you read for…?”

“Only twenty minutes, you fell asleep quite fast” Alina gets up, Daisy stands as well, stretching her back hooves and wings.

“I’m starving, let’s go” Daisy clumsily flies down, Alina teleports to the doors, checks out and carries on. “So this place we’re going is a stand, it should still be open”

“A stand, where’s it at?” Alina shuffles her books in her pack.

“It’s in Ponyville, so…we’ll need a taxi”

“I got my truck” Alina assures her; they go to the truck hopping in.

“And I’ll need a ride home after this…” Daisy leans into Alina.

“Yeah yeah, okay” Alina starts to drive, “Say, what things have you been doing?”

“Mostly working and at home, fixing my car…I missed you”

“I…did too” Alina replies, they have an awkward moment of silence, “Ahem, what foods’ at this stand?”

“The finest pretzels I’ve ever tasted” Daisy snuggles into her marefriend.

“Tell me where it’s at” Alina says.

“Tell you what…” She unbuckles Alina, “I’ll drive”

“Hmm something tells me you’re going to be driving me around more than I’ll be driving” Alina scooches over to Daisy’s spot after she stops at a light; bumping across her lap, buckling back up.

Daisy takes control of the wheel, driving off to their destination. “I love driving Alina, it’s one of my pleasures in life, to fix, build, and drive cars.” She smiles, “Oh and be with you now” Alina blushes a bit.

“Thanks, I feel the same way…about you of course, I know nothing about cars.” Alina squees.

After about thirty minutes, arriving in Ponyville, Daisy parks near the stand that had little flashing lights along with a larger glowing light that had ‘Pretzels!’ written on it, “This is it” Daisy hops off taking a spot in line behind a stallion and his kid.

Alina sniffs the air near the cart, it smelled amazingly delicious. There was a smaller stand by the cart stand that listed off the various flavors and styles of pretzels that were served. “Oh that smells good…I’m getting a chocolate covered sea salt pretzel” She stands by Daisy’s side.

“Yeah? I’m getting the cheese-filled salted one, my favorite” Daisy nuzzles her, then orders the two pretzels at her turn.

The food’s given to them at a quick time, Alina takes the rather large pretzel, taking a bite. Daisy does the same as they walk to the truck. “Daisy, goodness this tastes amazing! I can’t believe I’ve never seen this place before.”

“Don’t get out much do ya?” Daisy giggles, letting Alina get into the driver’s spot.

“Heh…yeah, I mostly stay or go to a few places, it’s comfortable” She says, half-chewing her food. Starting the truck, Alina begins to drive, “Oh and I’m needing to stop by a magic shop to get a few items for my cure mix.”

“Hey, now there’s a place I don’t go to” Daisy grins, consuming her pretzel.

“See, full of surprises” Alina continues to drive, occasionally taking small bites.

“I noticed you listen to K-122 on the radio, that one of my favorite stations too” Daisy says as she turns up the low music. Alina moves along to the beat, soon arriving at the small shop.

Daisy takes one glance at the shop and lifts up an eyebrow, “This place looks shady”

“It’s just for the style, it’s a decent store” Alina guarantees, “Come with me, just don’t touch things”

“Gotcha” Daisy says, following Alina in. This store was covered in a weird yellow wallpaper, that had a strange pattern on it that Daisy couldn’t figure out, which she quickly disregarded. Meanwhile, Alina was asking the store owner about a few leaves. Daisy was easily distracted by the shiny rocks by the window.

“This place…sells rocks…” Daisy was confused, picking up one of the smaller ones. It glows upon her touch; she looks at the sign next to it that reads: “Wear gloves before touching the rocks”. Daisy shrugs, putting it back down, going to Alina who had purchased some six leaved plant.

“Ready Daisy?”

“Yes, this place is, um interesting” Daisy opens the door for her, slapping her flank as she passes by.

Alina jumps a bit, “Hehe, oh you” They get into the car, driving to Daisy’s place.
