Boof! Boof! My Coltfriend Is a Good Boy

That day was special. It was Hearts and Hooves Day! I had been waiting all year to finally celebrate my first Hearts and Hooves date with a special somepony. And the lucky guy was of course my sweet Slipstream. Although I wasn’t good at cooking, I thought it would be nice if I make ourselves some dinner. So, that morning I went to the grocery store to get some cooking supplies.

“Babe, be sure to come back home fast, I have a surprise for you”, Slip gave me a warm hug before I left the house.

“A surprise? Is it the new game you were talking about?”

“You’ll see, babe. I know you’ll like it”,

“Eeeeee!! I’ll make sure I’ll be home in a jiffy!”, I hugged him again and gave him a kiss on the lips.

We waved goodbye to each other and I went to the grocery store. Now, since I hardly cook, I thought it was best to just cook a simple meal like spaghetti or fried rice. There was no way I would mess those up. Short story short, I bought some other groceries for the week so I didn’t have to do groceries again ‘til next week. I walked home with a bag full of stuff. I kicked the door but nopony answered. I hoped Slip would help me open the door or something. Turned out the door wasn’t locked, so I just struggled myself in and called Slip.

“Honey?? I’m home!!”, the house was really quiet. He might be away. He should have locked the door though.

I went to the kitchen to put down my groceries, but suddenly I felt something on my hind hoof. Something hot… soft… squishy…?? What the..?? And it moved!! A rat!! I kicked the thing, tried to get it off of my hind hoof. And bam! I hit it hard. It was a really big rat! Or was it a rat? It made whimpering sound and ran out the kitchen. I couldn't really see it but... I thought it was a giant blue rat! I put down my groceries on the dining chair (which is a bad idea, you'll know why) and explored the house. Usually I never had to deal with these pests cuz I had Slip around. But that time I wanted to show Slip I was a capable mare. I checked everywhere and I found it struggling to get under the bed. It was Slip.

"Honey! What are you doing? You silly pony!", I poked his butt and he whimpered.

"Honey? Come out. You said you have something to show me". I pulled his tail and he whimpered again. This time he finally get his entire body under the bed.

It was bizarre to see him like this. He liked roleplays though, sometimes he acted like a pet, but this is just no. I looked around and found an opened box with a leash and a note on the bed:

"I'm all yours, love Slipstream "

Did Slipstream just bought me a blue dog??? That was a dog??? I thought Slip didn't like having pets!! But I've been wanting to have a pet on my own! Sweet Celestia! Best Hearts and Hooves Day ever! I wished he was there with me though. I really didn't know where he went. I tried to get him out off the bed but it's useless. I went back to the kitchen to make him a hard boiled egg since I didn't have any dog food yet. After the egg was boiled, I rushed back to the bedroom, but it wasn't there. I ran around looking for that dog while holding a boiled egg on my hoof. I went back to the kitchen after hearing a rustling sound just to found it gobbling a pint of Neapolitan ice cream I just bought. Oh no! It has chocolate in it! I lifted him up and took the pint from his muzzle. Whoa, he looked exactly like Slip, only lighter. He had light blue coat and dark blue mane and tail. The muzzle, the ears, he really looked like him. The only differences were his dilated pupils, no cutie mark, and he had a black spiked collar on his neck. As I lifted him up, his stomach rumbled. I could tell he was hungry. He ate half of the pint. Should he go see the vet? He... kinda looked like a pony to me. Nah. I put the melted ice cream pint into the freezer and gave him the boiled egg.

"Boof! Boof!", he gobbled up the egg and then gave my face some big licks.

"Ahahahaha, awww.. You're so cute.. Umm.. Dog?", I stared into his eyes.

"Boof?", he tilted his head.

"You know, I want Slip to give you a name, but for now, maybe I can call you... Boofy?"

"Boof! Boof boof!", he looked like he agreed, even though 'boof' was the only thing he could say.

"Great! Okay, Boofy, you can go around the house, but don't go outside, okay? I'll get you some food and we can play together later", I patted his head and headed outside. Boofy ran upstairs and I locked the door. I should get another pint of ice cream.
