"Look Anon! Look I caught it!" His friend cried as she showed him the little fish that was struggling to break free from her grip. Today was her birthday & Anon promised her he would teach her how to fish when the party was over, she kept bugging him about it for weeks. After many failed attempts, and many times they broke free from her line. She did it she caught one! "I couldn't have done this without you, thank you so much!" "It was nothing," he said. "Just make sure you practice on it a little more, and maybe one day you'll be a lot better than me." Anon took a seat on his favorite rock and looked up to the heavens, his friend walked pass him and sat down from behind twidling her fingers. As she sat there all her new precious memories began playing in her head: The day started when her flight finally made its landing when she and her family got off the plane, there he was. She had a bad habit of hugging him so tight but that was her way of showing how much she missed him, without putting them into words. When she made it to his place she would spend her time with him: whether its playing board games, or chest, or riding bikes straight up to the hill. The best part was her party all of her cousins and friends were there, they had cake, there were singing and dancing. She had such a wonderful time with everyone, however, it was a shame that it all had to end so soon. It was time for her to go back home but she didn't want to leave. Not yet, she couldn't let this moment go to waste. "Anon?" She ventured. "Hmm?" Anon responded. "Can you... promise me something?" Anon nodded to her question letting her know he was listening. "So, my family and I are about to head back home & well," She bit her lip giving her self a moment before finishing her sentence. "I just want you to promise me that no matter how far we both are, you won't forget me, okay?" He turned to face your friend and gave her a warm smile, one that she adores so much. "Yeah, I promise." He said, his words reassuring and comforting her. "Pinkie Promise?" She asked for the last time. You let out a chuckle, a bit amused. “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” He did the motions of the Pinkie Pie Promise, mimicking sticking the pastry into his face. She pulled him in a big hug resting her head on his shoulder, he let it happen and rested his head on hers. They stayed like that till it was time for her to leave, he stood out on the front door waving goodbye to her while watching her car driving away getting smaller & smaller, till Anon couldn't see her anymore. That was the last time he ever saw her & he hadn't heard from her since.

Those memories playing in the back of his head drew a smile on his face. He stood there still holding the door-nob while the lavender unicorn behind him was patiently waiting for him to open the door. Anon blinked a few times before shaking his head coming back into reality then looked down at his new pet who was looking at him with bemusement.

"Sorry I was kinda dozed off there." He said laughing out of embarrassment. Once he twist the nob and pull the door open the small unicorn calmly galloped passed him without being told. He followed behind and close the door behind him before letting out a gentle sigh.

"Home sweet home." Anon thought to himself. He looked down at the quiet lavender facing the floor again; after he had gotten her while driving back home she hadn't moved an inch from her passenger seat til they made it home. Now it's just him and her, no one else around. He got down to one knee and notice something wrapped around her neck.

A collar. The leather had a dark blue-ish type of color behind all of the dirt, a tag was hanging around it but the name imprinted on it was hard to see through it all. But that's not what made his nose twitch: Anon sniffed the air & the smell hit him like a rock. He knew that this pony smelled but he’d never knew she smelled this bad, and that was a problem.

"Wow, you really do smell huh?" Anon pointed out while pinching his nose. "Wait in the living room, okay I'm gonna go get the water running.” Without being told twice the dirty Unicorn followed his command and stood up on all fours and headed to the other room. As she removed her eyes off the floor she began studying the room around her: there was a single circular couch with small pillows on each side with different colors.

Red and blue.

Two small tables with different items laying on top of them, a lamp that lighted up the room & a few boards games. She looked to her right and notice a seventy-inch plasma tv sitting on a mantle; she turned to her left and saw a huge shelf carrying lots of books. Seeing this reminded her of someone, someone who she knew was, in fact, a complete bookworm. Her lips formed a small smile as her memories began playing in her head, but only for a moment as she heard you calling her.

"Alright, the tubs ready!"

The lavender Unicorn rolled her body around exiting the room. She looked down the hallway and saw Anon sitting on a small chair waiting patiently. She trotted down the hall till she entered the room, before stopping in her tracks staring at the tub.

"Well go on don't be shy." Anon insisted gesturing his hand.

She turned her shoulder at him for a split second before turning away and jumped in making a splash. Now that she was in it was time to begin the cleaning session: Anon reached for the shower head and & sprayed water over her mane and face while using his left hand to rub all the dirt off the lines of her mane, he’d made sure to spray some on her coat too. After wetting her completely he place the head on the floor turned to his right and stretched his arm to reach for the bottled shampoo. Anon poured just enough in his palms before rubbing them together then started working his way to her neck.

She hums in approval, a bit comforted by his hands as they work their way. As Anon made his way towards her mane he started brushing it with his fingers while watching the dirt slowly fading, seeing her colors shining once more. Last parts were her coat & tail and he didn't stop there. He sniffed the air and let out a sigh of satisfaction; the odor was gone and all that could be smelled was a freshly cleaned pony. Anon stood up from his chair and grabbed one of the rolled up towels that he hadn't use.

As soon as he turned around the lavender hopped off from the tub and prepped herself.

"Wait, don't---

Anon’s sentence was cut off by her violently shaking her body and head like a rag-doll, water was shooting off from her coat landing here & there and getting all over the walls and floor. Once she was finished she stopped & steadied herself and exits the room leaving anon and his clothes all wet. A sigh escaped his lips as he look at the mess around the bathroom, he thought handling a pony would be easy like handling a dog. Oh, how wrong he is.

After two minutes spending in the bathroom, he headed upstairs towards his room deciding to call it a night. On the way, he found the little unicorn laying down on top of his bed already sound asleep. He couldn't stop smiling at how cute she was as she sleeps peacefully, He walked up to her then couched down before taking her hairline to his fingers caressing them gently. His eye twitched at the light coming from her tag and when he looked down at her collar, he could see those words clearly now. Anon began reciting them, slowly.

"Starlight. Starlight Glimmer?"
