When we last saw Anonymous, he was carried away by Maud so she could help heal his injured leg and establish her roll as the superior female toward her 'rival' Aria. Well, after finding some sturdy tape and a few rags (along with an old hoodie for Maud’s... Chest) she began patching up his leg of cuts and bruises likely caused by broken window glass and blunt trauma from the car that nearly smashed him. The make-shift bandages were crude, but sturdy enough to hold in the case of another accident. “Ugh, I can’t believe that girl...” Maud was... Mad, to put it lightly. “Who in their right mind thinks it’s a good idea to smash their car into a building, honestly!” For good reason as well, sadly.

Anon just nodded along with her, leaning against the wall so he could relax while Maud bandaged his leg. “Just trust me Maud, she’s done worse than this.”

“Anon, she nearly killed us!” She exclaimed, her grip on his leg tightening. “Not to mention she nearly killed my sister as a bonus!”

“H-hey, easy on the-!”

“Then she has the nerve to hug you, right after her attempt at vehicular manslaughter!” She continued, ignoring Anon and gripping even harder. “She didn’t even apologize right away, she just wanted you back because she wanted to be fed! Does that woman have any sense of right or wrong in that brain of hers!?”

“M-Maud, please!” Anon begged, pounding his fist on the floor in pain. “For the love of Fred the Fish, my leg Maud!”

“That girl... She just makes me so!... So!..... Sigh...” Her grip on his leg had diminished considerably, as did her spite toward Aria. “I’m... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be so sour toward your roommate.” Maud’s voice had softened, almost to the point of a whisper. “I-I just... She’s just so... Reckless!“

“Yeah, I... I feel ya, Maud.” Anon grunted a bit, but smiled through it. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wrung out her neck for doing something stupid.” He chuckled at the memories, like a parent thinking back on their own child’s innocent mistakes. “Aria’s a handful sometimes, I’ll say that much... But she has a good heart in her.”

“A good heart... You really think so?” Maud looked downward, thinking on his words. “How long have you two... Well, lived together?” She asked.

“A few years now, I think.” Anon answered. “Yeah, around three or four.”

“Th-that long!?” She exclaimed out in shock. “And you say that running you over with a car isn’t even the worst she’s done to you!?”

Anon just shrugged it off as if it were an honest mistake. “I mean, she once broke into a preschool drunk off her ass with a super-soaker.” Maud just looked at him as if he were- “A super-soaker MADE to look like an M16, I should add.” Oh... Never mind, now she understands. “Yeah, the Board of Education was not happy with her.”

Maud just shook her head. “Those poor kids...”

“Mmhm, and that was only a few months ago.” Anon added.

Maud’s mouth hung a bit, she was just speechless. “I-I... I just...”

“You get used to it, trust me.”

Maud felt like he... Understood his situation more.

.....

She felt that this was definitely some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, it had to be. “Um... This may be a dumb question, but has your roommate been arrested before?”

“Pffhahahahaha!” Anon had burst into laughter. Yeah, definitely a dumb question. “H-has Aria been arrested-Aaahahaha! O-Oh... Oh my god.” This reaction somewhat scared Maud. “I-I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t laugh.” He calmed himself down before speaking. “Yes Maud, I can assure you she’s been to the Pokey before. She’s the most well-known face at the county jail.”

Maud honestly couldn’t believe her ears, he was... He was just saying it so casually! His reaction was like if she asked if fish knew how to swim! “M-more than once?”

“Oh my god, I couldn’t tell you how many times!” He exclaimed. “The girl’s just a magnet for trouble I tell ya, take your eye off her for one minute and she’s getting arrested for who-knows-what!”

Maud gulped. “H-Has... Has she ever k-... Killed?”

That was a question that seemed to make him stare in wonder... Perhaps he had no record of her doing that kind of thing? “Well... Knowing Aria, I’m fairly certain she’s had to do that before.” Oh my god... “But she’s never been arrested for anything as serious as homocide; usually just public intoxication, some form of vandalism or destruction of public-slash-private property, indecent exposure... The list goes on, but she’s never done anything that could land her anything more than a year in prison.”

“..... A-and... You claim that she has a good heart.”

“Well she doesn’t do this stuff out of hatred or anything, she’s just plain stupid sometimes.” He explained. “Dumb decisions don’t make you a bad person, it just shows that you’re reckless.”

She couldn't believe the shit he was spewing at her right now. “You’re going to tell me that showing up at a preschool, intoxicated with a squirt-gun designed to look like an assault-rifle, was just an honest mistake.”

Anon just chuckled. “I know, I’m crazy aren’t I?” He should’ve realized sooner that she wouldn’t really understand. “Aria’s not a bad girl, Maud. She’s stupid sometimes but she’s not mean or anything like that... I mean, she’s friends with your sister.”

Maud’s eyes widened. “Pinkie!?” She exclaimed. “Those two... She’s actually friends with Pinkie?”

Anon nodded. “From what I’ve seen they tend to get along well.” He added as a matter of factly.

Maud couldn’t believe him, there was no way Pinkie could befriend someone like...

.....

“... If Pinkie really is her friend,” Maud started. “then I guess that’s enough proof for me.” Maud had finished wrapping his leg. It was a rough job but it would work for now. “But I’m still worried...”

“Join the club, man.” He spoke in sympathy. “One of these days that girl’s gonna be the end of me, I realized that long ago.” He sat up and rested a hand on her shoulder. “But, if I can survive a car crash and dragging us to safety in a thunderstorm, then I won't be croaking for a good while.”

Maud felt a bit better from his assuring words, but she was still concerned with Anon’s safety nonetheless. “J-Just promise me you’ll be okay... I don’t think I could stand it if she killed you.” It took a moment for her to realize what she just said. “I-I mean-“

Anon pulled her in for a hug, completely derailing her. “I promise, Aria won’t be killing me anytime soon.” Maud’s face lit up like a Christmas Tree. “Is that better?”

“... Y-yeah.” She murmered. “C-could you, um... Pet me?” She felt Anon’s fingers running through her hair, easing her mind further away from Aria with each stroke. Anon leaned back against the wall again, taking Maud with him so they could both relax. “You’re such a good person, Anon.” Maud purred. “I feel so safe when I’m being held...”

“I could imagine.” He mumbled. “Must be a nice change after almost being killed.”

“Mhmm... I’m glad that you don’t find it weird.” Maud spoke. “Y-you know... The petting.”

“It’s fine, I don’t think it’s weird.” He assured. “In fact, it’s pretty comforting seeing you act so cute.”

“C-cute?” A wave of warmth washed over her. “You think I’m cute?”

“I said it before, didn’t I?” Maud buried her face in his chest in an effort to hide her blush. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop.”

The room was fairly quiet, save for the occasional creak of a rusty pipe or bird chirp. It was just Anon and Maud now, together...

Alone.....

.......

“A-Anon?” Maud peeked up from his chest. “I... Um...”

“What’s wrong?”

Maud was quiet for a few moments, until she eventually asked. “C-could you... Let me go for a moment?” He did as told, though somewhat curious about this request. “S-sorry, I just need to use the bathroom.”

Ah, that makes sense. “Go right ahead, I’ll be here.” She nodded and walked off, leaving Anon to himself. “Yeah... Cute girl, she is.” He mumbled to himself. “Still can’t believe she’s related to Pinkie though...” He stared at the ceiling, comparing those two in his mind. Poofy pink curls alongside straight bluish-grey locks, an unbreakable smile against a mouth that barely ever cracked a grin. “Hmm... Like yin and yang, I guess.”

“A-Anonymous?” Anon looked at Mauuuuu...

.....

“Um... D-Do you like it?” Maud was standing in nothing but her panties and stomach bandages. “I thought that... S-since... You were such a good friend... and I... ’mumble mumble’...

Anon was... Bloody hell, he was not expecting something so forward! “M-Maud...”

She walked toward him and laid down beside him as she once was, pressing her breasts into his side. “Y-you’ve... Seen them before.” She took his hand. “Have you... Felt them yet?”

“Maud, I-“ He couldn’t fight her strength, it wasn’t anything forceful it was just that Anon was... A part of him wanted to touch them. “Th-this isn’t right, I’m your sister’s friend!” He argued, trying to keep his demons from turning this friendship into something much more sexual.

.......

“Aria...” Maud started. “You know what she’s doing right now?” Did... Did he really wanna know right now? “I saw those two... Aria was dragging Pinkie outside with a look on her face.” Oh my good god Aria.

“Oh... Oh my god.” Anon’s hand was guided her breast, the nipple poking at his palm. “M-Maud!”

“Anon.~” She visibly shivered, arching her back at his touch. “I feel so hot, Anon...”

“Maud, you need to stop!” Anon ordered, making her gasp in surprise. “Maud... I respect how you feel about me, but I’m too old for you.” She looked like a kicked puppy, it was almost too much for him to endure. “You... Have to understand that I respect you, Maud. I honestly don’t want this to stop, but-“

“Than don’t.” She interrupted. “I don’t care how old you are... I don’t care what you think of me.” Maud suddenly became much more aggressive. “J-Just... Let me do this for you!” She jumped up and kissed him, feeling the bulge in his pants rub against her crotch. “Mmm! Mmm...~” Anon was in complete, total shock. He didn’t know what to do, he didn’t know what to think! All of this was just happening so fast that he couldn’t keep up! “’Aah!’ I feel it, Anon...~” She panted out, grinding herself against him. “Y-you want it... Don’t you?”

“M-Maud, you can’t!”

“Don’t worry... I’m saving myself.” She rubbed her panties on him teasingly. “Unless... You want to be my first?”

Anon just couldn’t respond to something like that, a brutal struggle against honor and lust battling in his mind left him without an answer.

“Mmm, you’re so hard though...” Maud couldn’t get the thought of riding Anon out of her head. “Maybe... Just an inch or two?” She slithered down to his crotch, undoing his pants and sliding them off. “Or four...” The underwear was peeled off, releasing Anon Jr. from his prison. “Oh...” She stared in admiration, having never seen one this close before. “It’s so slick already...” She started stroking him, getting her hand slick with pre. “So hot, too...” She watched it twitch with every stroke, it was kinda cute in a way... “I... I hope I’m doing-“ The dick throbbed and a white, sticky fluid spurted out. ”Gasp!?” With each twitch more cum drooled out, coating her hand. “Oh gosh... I-If... That were inside me...” She felt a heat build in her crotch. “I..." As it was deflating in her hand, she knelt down and licked the tip.

“M-Maud!” Anon choked. “Don’t!”

She sucked on the head, pushing her hair back so it wouldn’t get in the way. “Mmm... Mmm...” The bitter taste sent jolts up her spine. “Mmhmm.~” Soon his dick was erect once more, just what she wanted. She let go of his cock and panted. “Anon.~” She climbed up him, hugging his neck and staring at him with glossy eyes. “I... I want it.”

“Maud, please!” He begged. “We can’t-“

“I don’t care!” She yelled. “Just... Let me do this for you... Please.” Oh god, those eyes! “I-I want you... To be my first.” She pleaded. “You’ve done so much for me... Let me return the favor.”

“Maud...” He sighed, having decided to give-in. He just couldn’t find it in him to break her little heart... “If... If that’s what you really...” He trailed off suddenly. "... No."

"Uh-... No?" She recoiled at the sudden change of answer.

"I think you're making a huge mistake, Maud." Anon explained. "I like you, honest. You're very nice and... Very attractive, but I don't think it's okay for you to give yourself to me like this. I mean, we literally just met a few days ago and now..."

She was... Silent for a good while, her head down and expression hidden behind her bangs.

.....

“Well... You know what I think?” She asked... Then raised her head, revealing pure anger behind tear-soaked eyes. “I think you should kick that so-called ‘roommate’ to the curb!” She yelled, surprising Anon with this sudden change of topic. “Why is she even with you in the first place!? You two aren’t together, and you probably won’t ever be if you can’t grow a pair and fuck a girl literally asking for it!” Jesus Christ, Maud! Where the hell is this coming from!? “She’s probably not even interested in you. I bet the only thing you are to her is a free roof to live under, because it’s plain as fucking day that she’s just mooching off of your generosity like a stupid little leech. I mean come on, she nearly ran us both down today! Then the first thing out of her mouth is ‘food, food, food’, not even a single apology!” She was just fucking unloading on him, telling him off with all the fury she has. “I don’t know how she befriended and seduced Pinkie, or how she got her claws around you, but you need to cut her out of your life! She’s not a good person, she’s not even a decent human being! She’s just a problem that you refuse to let go of!” Maud had finished her rant, panting out in exhaustion. “That’s... That’s what I think...”

The room was silent, dead silent...

The silence seemed to snap her out of her rage and... Make her realize what she just said. “I... Wait...” Anon roughly stood up, pulling his pants up with a look of fury in his eyes. Cold, silent fury that could've easily snuffed Maud's own. “Anon, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean-!” He up and left, not even a passing glance. “D-don’t... Don’t leave me...” Maud was alone now, naked and abandoned like a lost puppy... ”A-Anon...” She began to cry, curling up into a sad little ball...

She felt so cold, ice-cold...

Frozen...

.....

Anon walked out of the room, spotting Aria in the corner with a look of complete shock. “Uh, I just got here, I swear!” Anon simply ignored her and continued on, walking out through the huge hole made by the car and out into the open road. “Jesus Christ...” Aria mumbled. “He didn’t even tell me to go fuck myself...” She noticed the distinct sound of crying coming from behind the wall. “Guess the big guy really does care about me...” Aria then considered that maybe Maud was kinda right... She did mooch off of him a lot.

.....

Okay, maybe more than 'a lot'... Aria did really owe him a great deal for putting up with her.

'Distant crying...'

“Christ..." She shook her head, pitying the sad-sack despite the... Bomb she just dropped. So, with a heavy sigh she decided. "Never thought it'd come to this, but... Guess it’s up to me to save the day.” Yeah, Aria didn't believe her own mouth either. But, she did have a few thousand years worth of experience under her belt. Surely she could use all that experience to repair Anon and Maud's friendship!

.....

Maybe...

Probably...

.......

Well, it was worth a shot, at least. She did owe Anon the favor anyways since she nearly killed him.

"Alright Blaze, game face..." With a firm nod she got up and walked into the room, spotting the sad sack herself crying her heart out. “(Okay, now how do I approach the chick that hates me...)” Maud peeked our from her protective ball form, noticing Aria. “(Crap, gotta think fast!)” Not a single good idea to save herself the awkwardness, already going down-hill. “Uh... Heyyy.” Finger-guns.exe. “What’s... Up?”

Oh my god...

“If... ’sniffle’ If you must know...” Maud wipes her nose on her arm. “I lost the only best-friend I’ve ever had... B-because of my stupid!... S-stupid mouth!” Then she went back to crying... Beautiful.

“(Ugh, goddammit Anon...)” Aria sat down next to her, she scooted away.

“Don’t touch me!” She snapped. “Not with those filthy hands that defiled my sister!”

“Oh... So you saw that.” Alrighty, definitely hitting hot water now. “Uh... Yeah.”

.....

“Well for the record, she hit on me first.” Goddammit Aria, why!? “Err... Well...”

“You almost sound prideful...” And we’re back to Monotone Maud, perfect... Well at least the crying’s stopped, silver linings and all that. “Do you take pride in seducing my sister?... Hm?”

Was... Was that suppose to be sass? “Um... Nooo...?” Aria sounded as if she didn't even know. “I mean, Pinkie’s pretty... Cute, I guess.”

Maud raised a brow, still peeking from her little ball. “So there was no meaning behind it?”

“Well... I mean, it’s not that I didn’t enjoy it, but I...” Maud just laying there and silently judging didn’t help build her confidence. “Um... Pinkie’s... Not my type, I guess?”

Maud remained silent for a few moments, still staring at her. “... So how long were you back there?”

“Oh... Um, maybe around fifteen minutes? I kinda kept Pinkie ‘On Edge’ if ya know wha-“

“Behind the wall.” Maud corrected. “How long were you behind the wall.”

“..... Ohh, that’s what you meant.”

Duh.

“Yeah, I was there... For the roast.” Aria answered. “Gotta say though, I’m kinda mad at you for saying those things about me.”

“Yet you fuck my sister behind my back.” Maud growled.

“Which is why I’ll let the insults slide this time... Cause I did indeed tongue-punch your sister’s pie.”

Maud just stared... “Never say that to me again.”

... Well, there was a bit of emotion in her tone that time. “Fair enough.” The two shared a lengthy moment of pause, Maud’s silence being one of distain while Aria was just trying to avoid saying something stupid. “Sooo...” Aria awkwardly began. “Why do you think of me like that?”

Maud simply stared. “..... I’ve been asking that question myself.” She answered. “I guess I’m simply jealous?”

“Yeah, I got that much.” Aria mumbled, referring to the earlier episode Maud had. “But why the hell are you even jealous? I mean I’m not exactly ‘woman of the year’ material.”

“I’m not envious of you, Aria.” She sneered with a venomous tone. “I’m... Envious of your standings with Anonymous.” She answered. “That’s what I’m jealous of, the bond you two share.”

Aria cocked her head. “Bond?... The hell are you talking about?”

“Anon told me that you do horrible things very often, and how you’re quote-on-quote, ‘stupid’

Aria looked fairly surprised. “He called me that!?” Maud nodded, a bit surprised by Aria’s reaction. “Christ, that’s just awful!” She shook her head. “I mean, my god, he used ‘stupid’ of all things? He usually calls me whore or skank or bimbo... God I’m almost offended!” Aaand Maud’s face fell flat. “Outta kick him square in his fucking pussy for that sorry excuse of an insult... Prissy cunt.”

.......

“The way your mind works is truly a marvel, Aria.”

Aria smiled. “Uh, thanks, I guess?” Yeah, looks like Aria’s really living up to that ‘stupid’ title despite her objections. “You aren’t that bad yourself, Maud.”

“... Thanks.”

.....

Maud had finally decided to come out of her little ball form and sit up. “Anonymous.” She started. “Why does he like you so much, despite all the things you do?”

Aria shrugged. “Hard to say, honestly.”

Now that definitely raised a brow for Maud. “You... Really don’t know?”

“Hmm... Nnope, not a clue.” She answered, much to Maud’s amazement. “Well... Hmm.....” She took a few more moments to think.

............

“Yeah, I got nothing.”

..... “Um... Okay?” To be honest she felt kinda shocked, no, almost offended really! How could she have never considered what made those two so close to each other!?

“... Well, I guess there’s one reason.” Aria admitted. “Kinda stupid to be honest, but... I dunno, I always thought that maybe he kinda liked that part about me, maybe... S-sorta...” Aria blushed, suddenly developing a rarely-seen sheepishness. “It’s stupid, I know. Probably not even the case, either...”

Maud simply stared, as she’s been doing for around 70% of this entire meet. But this time, she looked at Aria in a... Different light.

.....

Then she smiled. “Maybe... I was wrong about what I said about you.”

“What, about the mooching thing and me being a whore?“ Aria guessed. “Cause I can guarantee that you're right on all accounts, I mean I really am a complete slut for-“

Maud quickly slapped her hand over Aria's running mouth. “Please.” She begged. “Stop digging a deeper hole for yourself.”

Aria gave her a thumb in affirmation.

Maud let her go, reluctantly giving her the ability to speak. “What I was referring to, by the way, was what I said about... Y-you not caring about Anonymous.”

“Oh... Uhh...” Awkwaaard... ”Y-yeah, that’s... Pretty wrong.”

Maud nodded in agreement. “It was petty of me to say all those things... Even if most are actually true.”

Aria shrugged, sporting a friendly smirk. “We all fuck up, dude. Just gotta try not to do it again.” A friendly pat on the back followed suit. “And believe me, I know that more than anybody else here.”

“Yes... The fact it’s you telling me this lesson is quite painful.”

Aria chuckled. “Sounds poetic to me, Sugar-tits.” She then stood up. “Tell you what, why don’t you get those bad-girls under some thread while I go drag Anon out of his vagina, hm?” Maud brightened at this... Probably.

Again, kinda hard to see emotion under all that ice, but there was a slight change in her facial features.

“You would really... Even after what I said?” Holy fuck her voice was cracking. “I’m... I’m touched by your generosity, Aria.”

“Y-yeah, it’s nothing...” Aria wasn’t the best at handling gratitude, but she couldn’t deny that it felt pretty good to get Maud feeling better. “Just don’t screw it up again, alright? Anon doesn’t give second chances.” Maud nodded, a small smile forming as her gratitude swelled.

Then she suddenly latched to Aria in a very tight hug.

“Gh! J-Jesus...” Eeyup, Maud was strong... Very strong. “Gonna... Rip me in... H-half!” Not even the tits pressing against Aria’s own could make this pain worth it...

Well, maybe a little... Seeing those Double-D’s squished together was defin-

’crack.’

Nope, neeever mind! This really fucking hurt! “M-Maud!... Crushing!...”

“Oh! S-sorry!” She let Aria go, who went crashing into the floor in pain. “I’ll... Go get my sweater.” Aria was still groaning on the floor, holding her ribs in pain. “Sorry...”

“Jesus Christ...” She managed to recover, thankfully. “H-how much iron do you pump!?”

“R-Rock farm...” Aria looked confused. “It’s where I was raised most of my life... The work really helps build muscle.”

“Oh... R-right.” Aria took a few cautious steps back. “Um... You don’t turn green, do you?” Maud just stared with a raised brow. “Just making sure.” Silence followed... “Sooo... Nice tits?”

.....

“Thanks?” Guess we’re back to Aria having less than zero skills with having pleasant small-talk. “N-nice... Butt?”

... This works, too.

“Thanks... S-so, yeah, I’ll let you go and find your clothes.” Aria then awkwardly left the room, exiting through the hole she made with the car. “(Alrighty, one chick down.)” She spotted Anon by the rusty gas pumps. “(One to go.)” She walked up to Anon and leaned against the support beam holding the rest of the station roof up. “You ready to stop being a bitch yet?” Eeyup, Aria wasn’t afraid of being herself when it was Anon she was talking to. No sugar-coated words or understanding tone, he was getting the genuine Aria in all her glory. “C’mon man, I just got done talking to your girlfriend. We can sit down like adults or I can drag your ass over and make you listen to her.”

“Aria I am in no mood to talk to either of you.” He growled. “Maud said a lot of awful things targeting both of us.”

“Mostly me though.” Aria reminded. “Like, she fucking bashed me harder than an Irishman being called a Redcoat.”

Anon opened his mouth, but paused briefly. “..... Okay one, I’m surprised you could make such a cultured simile.”

Aria smiled her smug little grin. “I know more than just sex, thank you.”

”Surprise, surprise...” Aria hit him for that, but it wasn’t anything harder than a playful punch. “Two, that’s exactly what I’m so pissed off at.”

“What, you mean the shit she said about me?” Aria guessed. “Not to burst your bubble or anything, but most of what she said was kinda true.”

Anon just shook his head. “She said that you only care about my generosity, and on top of that she said you don’t even care about me as a whole!” He borderline yelled. “She made you out to be this awful, manipulating sociopath, Aria... That’s what really pissed me off.”

Aria just... Stared. “Wow... I... I assumed you were angry about that, but...” Despite knowing full well why he was angry, she was still quite astonished hearing him say it. “Christ, I had no idea you cared that much about me.”

Anon nodded, still keeping his eyes out toward the open road. “You’re my friend, Aria. You do a lot of dumb shit but you’ll always be my friend.” He continued. “And Maud... She just needs to accept that she won’t be as close to me as you are.”

Aria smirked. “So you were listening in, huh?”

“It’s hard to ignore a crying girl...” He explained. “Besides, someone’s gotta keep an eye on you.”

“Aww, I’m so touched.” Aria teased. “Lemme give you a kiss.”

“Touch me and yo-HEY!” She stuck her tongue out, trying to lick him like a dog would. “Aria fucking stop! I don’t want syphilis!”

“Too late, I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy!” She faux kuu’d, pressing her body into him to see him blush. “C’mooon, I just want a widdle kiss!~”

’Ahem!’

They both paused, seeing Maud fully clothed in her regular attire, still somewhat stained with blood. “I... Hope I’m not interrupting anything.”

“Maud I promise this isn’t what it looks like.” Anon promised.

’Liiick!’

He visibly shivered, having his cheek licked by his roommate in front of god and everybody. “Goddammit, quit it Aria!” She blew a raspberry at him and then jumped on his back, linking her arms together around his neck. “Aria you fucking child!”

“Say it, pussy! Say you love your Roomie!”

“Gh! Ack! M-Maud I am so sorry you have to-“ He choked a bit from Aria’s hold. “S-see this!...” Anon lost his balance altogether and fell backwards, Aria just giggled at his frustration. “Aria I’m gonna fucking gut you in your sleep!”

“Gut me with your cock, daddy.~” She teased, sticking her tongue in his ear. Anon felt dirty just hearing that come out of her mouth. “Let Maud watch, too. That’d be pretty-Ghk!” Earning her a back-hand punch in the face. “Oww, bitch!”

“Do that again and you’re eating burnt popcorn for a month.” And just like that Aria let him go, she knew when to draw the line. “Finally...” He stood up, Aria sitting up behind him. “Sorry about that, she likes to make an ass of herself in front of important people.”

“I’m such a bad girl.~”

“One more word out of you and I’m not feeding you at all!” He snapped.

.....

“Anyways,” He continued. “I’m... Sorry for leaving you like that.”

“No, I’m sorry for saying all that nasty stuff.” Maud objected. “I was in the heat of the moment, and... Said some things that I shouldn’t have.” She looked downward, eyes closed. “To the both of you... I’m deeply sorry.”

Anon smiled. “I’m glad to hear that, Maud...”

“Yeah, apology accepted or something...” Aria mumbled from the floor. “I wasn’t really all that mad though, I’ve been called worse... Say Anon, could you make some food soon? All I’ve eaten today is a gas-station corn dog and Pinkie’s pussy.” Anon glared down at her. “... What!? She offered!”

“I’m not mad about the corn-dog, you fucking skank!” He corrected.

“Wasn't talking about the corn-dog, ass!” Now Anon was the one in shock. “Yeah, I had that same fucking look when she started fingering me.”

“... Is that why you smashed the car into the building?” Maud asked.

Aria paused briefly... “Um... Sure, let’s go with that.”

.....

“So yeah... Hey Maud, you still wanna fuck Anon?” Instant blush for poor Maud Pie. “I mean, if you’re gonna tag ‘n bag you might as well do it now.”

Anon just rubbed his brow. “I swear to Christ, Blaze.”

“I-I... Don’t mind, Anon.” Maud spoke, blushing even harder. “If it’s... Y-you.”

.....

“Anonymous you better fucking tap.” Aria warned, her hand pointing at him from the unseen ground. “God as my fucking witness, I won’t hesitate to hold you down and make you tear that hymen!”

Anon gave her a fucking look of shock and disgust. “Jesus H. Christ!”

“Don’t give me that you fucking faggot!” She barked back. “I’m not gonna lay here and watch you pass down a virgin!”

“Aria that’s enough.” Maud jumped in, ending the bickering. “If Anon doesn’t think I’m good enough... I’ll just have to accept that.”

“Not good enough!?” Anon exclaimed. “Maud, that’s not the case at all!”

“Then why didn’t you want me!?” She asked, demanding an answer. “I’m cute, a-and... Sexy, aren’t I!?”

“Maud, I’m thirty.”

.....

“What!?” Aria exclaimed in shock. “Holy fuck, I thought you were in your early twenties or something!”

“Ugh, I wish...” Anon looked downward, mourning over his youth. “That being said, how old are you, Maud?”

.....

“I’m... N-Nineteen.” She mumbled, causing Aria’s eyes to widen in alarm. “B-but I don’t care about age!”

Anon shook his head. “Maud... Just listen to me, okay?”

“This outta be good.” Aria commented from the floor.

Anon gave her a look of scorn before continuing. “You’re a beautiful woman at the prime of her life, Maud. Still so young and full of life!” He then sighed. “But me?... I’m just an old bartender waiting for his 40th birthday to come and go.” He held Maud’s cheek, brushing some hair out of her face. “Maud, the reason I rejected you isn’t because you aren’t good enough...”

“I get it.” Maud sighed and finished for him. “It’s because... ’sniffle’ Y-you’re too old...” Uh-oh, here we go...

He nodded, pulling her in for a hug. “Wasting your life away with an old dog like me isn’t what I want for you.” He stroked her head to try putting her at ease. “If I were ten years younger than... I’d be happy to be your first.”

Maud whimpered in his chest for a bit, completely limp... Then she quickly hugged him back, her crying becoming more prominent. Anon nudged Aria to go away, a hint which she quickly took. “A-Anooon...” She wailed in his chest. “I-I love you... I love you so muuuch!”

“Shhh.” He hushed, letting the poor girl cry it out. “It’s okay, Maud... I’m here.”

“I don’t want you to go, Anon.” She begged through her tears. “P-Please... I love you so so much...”

It just tore Anon’s heart out seeing her cry, he never wanted to have to end it like this... But, I suppose not every story gets a happily-ever-after. “I’m here, Maud... I won’t leave you yet.”

“Please... D-don’t go...” She whimpered. “P-Please...” Anon walked her back to the building and sat her down, him laying beside her. “A-Anon...”

He kept her close, petting her while she hid in his chest. “If only I were younger...” He mumbled to himself. “Poor thing...”

“D-... D-Do you... ’sniffle’ Hate me?” She asked, her eyes red and blushed from the crying.

“Of course I don’t.” He answered. “I could never hate you, Maud...”

She looked up at him adorably. “R-really?”

He nodded with a smile. “Really.”

She had calmed herself significantly, only the occasional sniff and controlled whimper. “... A-Anon.” Maud looked up at him again from the safety of his shirt. “I... I love you, Anon.”

He nodded, stroking her head. “Yes, I’m quite aware.”

.....

“Do you... Love me?” She asked.

“I...” He saw her eyes, those glistening orbs that searched for hope from a single word... He couldn’t beat them. “Yes... I love you very much, Maud.”

Those eyes shimmered with a new light in them. “Y-you... You love me?” Anon nodded, still petting the back of her head. “A-Anon...~” She looked so happy... It really put his heart at ease seeing that twinkle in her eyes. “I’ll never forget the time we spent together...”

“Neither will I, Maud.” Anon, being so bold, kissed her forehead. “I’m glad I was able to meet you.”

“M-Me too...”

The two simply laid there together, Anon holding poor Maud in his warm embrace and keeping her happy with head-rubs.

“It’s... It’s so hard.” Maud mumbled. “I don’t ever wanna let you go.”

“I know, Maud.” Anon kuu’d.

“I... I want you.” Her hug tightened a smudge. “B-but I...”

Anon simply sighed, scratching her head a bit. “You’re a beautiful girl, Maud...” Anon told her. “But we can’t do that.”

Maud said nothing in response, choosing to hide herself in his chest and enjoy what little time she had left... She just had to accept it, she had to move on...

.....

But at least she wasn’t alone this time...

Aria looked fucking everywhere, yet found not hide or tail of Pinkie. “Christ... Where the hell is that Pink Schizophrenic?” Aria groaned, picking her nose without a care. “Dammit, I need a good fuck and I needed it yesterday! Bloody... grumble...” Aria quickly gave up and dropped her pants. “Christ, gotta do it myself I guess...” She looked around a bit. “Hmm... What will I stick up my cooter today...” Well it definitely wasn’t broken glass... She did see a good-sized dog toy on one of the shelves. “Hm, kinky enough.” Until she grabbed it, that is.

’squeeeak!’

.....

Now she had the image of being pounded by a squeaky-toy stuck in her head. “Ugh, no...” And the toy flies right over her shoulder. “What else we got.” She saw old cans, key-chains, ugly trucker hats, expired candy, porn mags, more trucker hats... She gazed back at the porn magazines, still in the plastic and practically untouched by the elements. “Fuck, they got porn here?” She went ahead and grabbed all the porn she could hold, so around 12 or so different issues. “Wonder why this place fucking died, anyway...” It’s not like she saw a sign anywhere on the building, it’s a real curiosity why this old building still has all this merchandise in it. “Hmm... Pretty weird.” She started to turn, but her foot bumped something

'clack!'

"What the-" Holy fuck that was a human skeleton. “Bloody taint!” She dropped the smut in surprise, still staring at the remains. “Ohh... Sweet Jesus on the Cross...” She looked over the bones, left untouched and still in uniform from the blue vest and-...

.....

The fucker had a Blockbuster badge on his uniform and a glock in his bony hand, sizable hole in the skull as well.

“This shithole sells movies?” She looked around, noticing that there were indeed many shelves lined up along the walls with countless rentable movies, all practically untouched... “How the fuck did I miss all these movies?”

.....

“Oh right, this was a Blockbuster.” She concluded. “Yeah, no wonder the employee pulled the trigger. Still pretty fucked up though." A moment of pause... "Wait, I thought this was a-“ She looked back, all the expired candy and trucker hats... Were replaced by old dvd shelves.

.....

She looked down at her feet, seeing that all the porno mags were actually rentable movies, mostly romantic comedies. “Uhh... Okay, I’m officially creeped out.” She took a peek outside through the hole in the wall, the gas pumps had all somehow vanished entirely. The roof was still there, but... Holy fuck was that creepy. “I... I need to find Pinkie...”

“Find who?”

Aria fucking shrieked at a pitch almost high enough to break glass, her panties feeling a tad warmer than they should be.

“Whoa, Aria! Where’s the fire!?” A familiar pink face grabbed her and-...

“Pinkie!? Oh, you scared the tits off of me!” Aria realized she had water dripping down her leg. “Oh... Um...”

.....

“C-can you let me go so I can change my panties?”

Now Pinkie noticed the line running down her leg. “Oh wow, you sure do frighten easily!” She then noticed the skeleton. “Who’s that?”

“No idea, but... He’s pretty dead.” Aria answered. “Also, did you know this place was a Blockbuster Store?”

“What? No way!” Pinkie fucking brushed her off. “This is a gas station, silly! Those don’t even sell movies!” Aria just stared, completely astonished... Then she noticed Pinkie looking around the store. “Whoooa... How’d I not see all these movies!?”

“Not only that, but the gas pumps are gone!” Aria pointed outside, and they were indeed gone.

“WHOOOA!” Pinkie was awestruck. “Where’d the gas pumps go!?”

“I know!” Aria agreed. “They just fucking disappeared!”

.....

“What’s a Blockbuster Store, anyway?” Pinkie asked. Aria opened her mouth, but... Holy fuck, she didn’t know either. “I feel like I know... But...”

Silence... The loud creak of a rusty pipe could be heard in the background.

“Pinkie... This is an evil place.” Aria spoke with light shutters in her voice. “We have to find a way back, and soon.”

“Hm? Oh, don’t worry, I already figured that out!”

“Y-... You did?”

Pinkie nodded, guiding her outside... Fuck she’s so used to seeing those gas pumps, and not seeing them was really putting her on edge. “Tadaaa!” Low and behold, there was a brand new, Ivory Black Mercedes Benz. “You like?”

Aria’s jaw was left hanging. “... W-Where did you get this!?”

“Oh don’t you worry your pretty lil head, Aria!” She assured, patting Aria’s head. “Let’s go take Anon and Maud to the hospital!” Aria opened her mouth but Pinkie had vanished, leaving behind a dust cloud in her shape...

So, Aria decided not to ask questions... For her sanity’s sake.

.....

She stared back at the building, above the roof in broken neon lights was ‘Blockbuster’ with yellow drapes that had what she made out to be ‘Grand Opening’ written in oozing ink...

It was almost as if it was written in blood.

/////

After a short fifteen minutes Pinkie came out of the store, dragging along Anon and Maud Pie. “You’re crazy, Pinkie. I know damn well that this is a gas station.”

“Well if it’s a gas station then where are all the pumps?” Pinkie asked oh so maturely, imitating the mocking tone of a child.

Both Anon and Maud looked back, now noticing the complete absence of gas pumps. “Holy-!...”

“Wh-Where are the pumps!?” Maud asked in shock.

“I know, right!? It’s so freaky!” Pinkie cheered. “Anyways, I found this brand new Mercedes, so we can take you to the hospital now!”

.....

“Don’t ask questions, let’s move, move, move!” Pinkie hurried then into the car, Maud still staring at that ominous, evil building... She got in the car, riding shotgun, and took one final look at-...

..........

Gone...

It was fucking gone...

“Aria?” Pinkie got her attention, showing her a face of complete panic. “What’s wrong?”

“WHERE DID THE BUILDING GO!?!?”

They all turned and... Eeyup, there was nothing but woodland as far as the eye could see. “Holy MOLEY!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Blockbusters just-... It’s gone!”

Maud clung to Anonymous, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Anon, holding her close, decided to speak up on her behalf. “We... Should go.” He suggested. “Now.”

And with the slam of the gas petal, they were off like a bullet, never to return...

Ever...

The car ride was mostly quiet, a sort of unbroken quiet you only see after experiencing something extremely disturbing and traumatic.

.....

“Sooo, how about some tunes!” Pinkie turned in the radio.

”-ate afternoon, tragedy struck again as a county-side home was robbed of their car! This being the second case of Grand Theft Auto today, following another case early this mor-“

’SMASH!’

.....

“Whoops! R-radio’s busted!” Pinkie sang, having literally punched the car radio in a feat of surprising strength. “Aw well, today’s music sucks anyways! Only the classics in this car!”

....... Riiight...

The sun had started to set in the distance, making the once vast-blue sky a beautiful amber orange. Breathtaking, really... This also marks today as the second day out here in... These cursed lands. But at least it was finally over thanks to whatever the hell Pinkie did to get this new car.

Maud was still snug as a bug in Anon’s arm, she looked just as relieved as he was that this hell was finally over. The last few days have certainly been... Eventful, to say the least. “I see you two have gotten along!” Pinkie noted. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you so loose, sis!”

“Yes... I’m rather comfortable around my new friend.” Maud looked up at him, seeing he was still staring out at the sunset. “He’s... A really good friend.”

Pinkie nodded firmly. “Aaand How! Isn’t that right, Blazy?”

“Wha? Oh yeah, Anon’s a real riot.” Aria looked back at them and, seeing Anon was busy in La-La-Land, caaarefully slipped a finger into his jacket... And pulled out his wallet. “Hey Schizo, let’s grab some grub, my treat.”

Maud was... Almost appalled by this act of theft! But, she remembered that it was Aria, so this was probably something normal for those two...

Or at least she hoped it was.

“Let’s see... Wanna swing by Dominos or something and eat? We got about fifty in here.” Maud nodded, as did Pinkie. Anon, having realized that Aria was a broke mother-fucker and was missing his wallet, nodded as well. “Some food does sound pretty good right about now.” Then he snatched his wallet back. “Thank you very much.”

“Dammit, couldn’t grab his card.” Aria mumbled. “Hmm... Hey Pinks, did you know that Anon’s thirty.”

“He is!?” Pinkie asked in surprise. “Wowie, you’re a lot older than you look!”

Anon nodded. “Mmhm, Anonymous is an old dog.” He sighed, basking in the memories of his youth. “Yeah... Those were the days.”

Aria snorted, trying to suppress a laugh. “I think grandpa’s remembering the good ol’ days.”

“Bite me, whore.” Anon snapped. “I’m not sixty yet.”

“Still old enough to be my daddy!” Aria teased. “In more ways than one.”

“Oooh, so saucy, Aria.” Pinkie purred, quietly unbuttoning her pants. ”Kinka makes me a bit nervous having you up front, ya know?~” Pinkie winked at her, starting to feel a little damp in the drawers.

“Pinkie don’t even think about it.” Maud (yes, Maud of all people) spoke up against Pinkie’s naughty escapades. “Not while we’re still in the car.”

“Aww, you’re no fun!” Pinkie wined.

“Meh, save it for the Dominos Toilets, Pinkie.” Aria ordered. “We can have some privacy there, hopefully.”

“I don’t mind an audience.~”

The two dirty girls giggled at Pinkie’s innuendo. Both back-seat passengers sighed, feeling disgust with their colleagues.

...

Maud snuggled into Anon’s arm, cute as a bug in a rug, and sighed out. “Roommates.”

Anon stroked her hair with a chuckle. “Tell me about it.” The car was silent for a good few minutes, the only sound being the faint scratching from Anon’s fingers... “Um... Does anybody know what a Blockbusters is?” Anon asked. “For some reason I... Don’t really know.”

...

“But...” Aria continued. “You kinda feel like you know it?” She asked.

“Yeah... That’s exactly how I-“

”BLOCKBUSTER WILL NOT BE MENTIONED WITHIN THIS CAR!!!” Pinkie practically screamed, scaring every passenger inside. ”ANYONE WHO MENTIONS IT AGAIN CAN WALK HOME, ARE WE CLEAR!?!?”

.....

“Crystal.” Everyone answered in sync, leaving the rest of the car ride with an ominous silence...
