{Anon's POV}

Okay you have to admit, this rain is pretty fucking intense. You’ve only been outside for a minute and you feel as if you stood right at the base of Niagara Falls. You aren’t complaining too much, the only thing you aren’t fond of is the feeling of wet socks. Oh my god, wearing wet socks is just the absolute worse.

“Damn, it feels like the storm’s just getting worse and worse! What is this a category 5 hurricane?!”.

Well to be more realistic and less dramatic, you’d practically be flying off your feet in over 250 km/h category 5 winds. Yes, you used the metric system, fuck the imperial units. Nevertheless, you struggled your way to get back to your place to attend to your little “emergency”.

“I honestly doubt Twilight will buy that bullshit excuse, but it’s not my problem anymore…”.

You could’ve sworn you heard your name being yelled out by someone, but instincts told you it was automatically Twilight, so you went Usain Bolt mode. In reality though it was just your imagination, but you still weren’t taking any chances. Your house comes into view.

“Oh thank goodness, home sweet home!” you said all exhausted from sprinting.

You got to the front door, went inside and quickly locked the door. Don’t need any visitors for quite a bit. You checked on your oven that was obviously turned off. For now it’s thinking time. But what better way to make the mood better than with some music? You couldn’t help it, you were basically a music fanatic knowing plenty of artists that most Millennials or Generation Zs have not even heard of. But what song was on your mind?

“Well this downpour is giving me a Doors vibe, so Riders on The Storm it is”.

Once the 7 minute song starts, you get all comfy and relax. You could just jam to that 2 minute keyboard solo all night long. However, you also needed to figure how you were gonna handle Operation Twily. A dorky name, right?

“Ok so two things, first off Twilight likes me, second, what”?

This day just couldn’t get anymore interesting, it started off so casually and now it’s getting quite intimate. How to handle the situation? Many different scenarios were flowing in your head.

“So she likes me and 99.99% of the scenarios will more than likely result in us finding common ground and become a thing? Cool”.

You then checked the time and realized it was dead on 11:00pm. Might as well get ready for sleep and think the rest of this situation out in the morning. Hopefully Twilight doesn’t make a surprise visit without my consent.

{Twilight’s POV}

You were staring out the window as Spike and Starlight were casually talking about things you could care less about at this moment.

“Oh my Celestia, how long is this rain gonna last? Do I seriously have to wait until tomorrow to make my move?” you said all frustrated.

“Twilight, I wouldn’t worry too much about it, and as much as I know you’re tempted to just make your journey in the rain, the force of the storm is pretty dangerous”.

“I have to agree with Starlight on this one. I say it’s too risky, I’m surprised Anon had the guts to brave the storm”.

“Ughh….if only there was like a way I could just some avoid the storm, get to his place immediately and.................” It was then you realized the benefits of magic.

*POOOF*

“Did...did she remember she can teleport?” Spike said.

“Twilight is an idiot pfff-HAHA!” Starlight stated bursting out into laughter.

“I’m not even gonna ask how she forgot…”.

You remembered one of the main perks of unicorn/alicorn magic was being able to teleport. Wow you’re such an idiot. But what’s done is done, you’re now at Anon’s doorstep. You began to knock a few times but heard no signs of movement from inside.
You then tried opening the door realizing it was locked.

“I assume he doesn’t want any visitors right now, but I’m not done yet”.

You then strolled around the house looking through the windows seeing if there were any lights on or any sign of Anon being around. You stumbled upon his bedroom window and looked inside. After some close inspection, you noticed a stump on his bed. Okay so Anon is asleep.

“Great, just great! He had to just fall asleep during a time of urgency”!

You carefully inspected some more to make sure he was actually asleep and not just lying down. After little movement, it was settled he was passed out. You couldn’t help but admire how precious he looked sleeping.

“He’s such a cutie bundled up like a bunny. D’awwww”.

Well, your options are now limited. You were honestly tempted to teleport inside his house to wake him up but immediately thew that idea away. Number one, it’s disrespectful and two, he’d be very pissed off at you entering his quarters without permission. You accepted defeat and decide you’d wait until the next day when you hopefully don’t have any important duties to attend to.

*POOOF*

You teleported back to the castle and found Starlight all by herself looking like she’s ready to hit the hay also.

“I assume Spike went to bed”?

“Oh Twilight, you scared me! Uhh yeah, he crashed. How did it go with Anon”?

“Nothing, he was dead asleep. So I decided to let him be and I’ll confront the next day when I have time”.

“Ahh okay, well I myself am gonna head to bed. I need a lot of rest,” Starlight said yawning.

“Okay, goodnight Starlight, sleep well”!

With that, Starlight went to her room and you were all alone. All alone without Anon. You wished he was here with you keeping company.

“*sigh* I didn’t realize how hard it would be to just be able to wait. But there’s always tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely be the big day,”.

“Well, guess it’s time to hit the hay also *yawn*,” you said as you made your way to your room. You were exhausted after today so hopefully you get a good rest.

As you lie down under your covers, you gazed outside watching more rain pour down. Hopefully the rain should be gone by morning. With that being said, your eyes slowly drift away as you start to fall asleep. Perhaps Luna might pay you a visit tonight?

The Next Day

{Anon’s POV}

The morning sun starts to rise, birds start chirping, crows start squawking and best of all your wonderful alarm starts ringing. You made a point to make sure your alarm was gonna be a song you’d very soon hate. So you picked Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. As much as you appreciated Wham and George Michael especially, you just couldn’t stand that song. It was overly played and it’s probably the only Wham song you’d hear on the radio. Now it has a special place as your alarm just so it can drive you out of bed.

“No, I’ll fucking just ‘Go-Go’ without waking you up, HOW ABOUT THAT!” you said smashing your alarm.

You get up, get yourself properly dressed. You decided to put on some of the new clothing you got from Rarity. After that, you went to the kitchen to start up some breakfast as you cue your playlist.

“Seems like the storm finally bailed out, but damn looks like some flooded spots here and there”.

Maybe today will be a much nicer day, without a fucking hurricane interrupting your activities. Speaking of which you’d remember all the things that went down last night.

“OH SHIT THAT’S RIGHT, TWILIGHT!” you said in a state of fear.

Oh fuck, you were worried she could suddenly pop up at your place without warning. So you basically said fuck breakfast and quickly left the house and decided Sugarcube Corner would be breakfast. The sugar rush would get you wide awake and active. You just still needed some time to think this situation through. With that, you left your house and made your way to sugar hell.

{Twilight’s POV}

Apparently you slept in a little more than you intended. Oh well, today was gonna be quite the eventful day. First you just needed to get ready and such. Once that’s done, you’re gonna confront Anon. Little did you know though, Anon isn’t even at his place at this time.

After getting ready, you departed the castle and made your way to Anon’s place. The rain let up thank goodness, however the ground was still a little damp. Hopefully you won’t trek a lot of mud. Oh wait, you can fly, problem solved. You just weren’t you whenever you had just woken up. Anon’s house comes into view, you’re almost there. The feeling is stronger than ever, for now the deed will finally be settled. You knock on the door and receive no response, however the door was unlocked. You reluctantly let yourself in.

“Anon? It’s me, Twilight. I’m here because there’s something I need to tell you. Where are you at”?

You navigated the entire house, yet he was nowhere to be seen.

“Okay Anon, stop playing hide and seek, I know you’re here somewhere. So come out now!” you exclaimed but heard no signs of life in the vicinity.

At this point, you realized he’s not even here. You wondered where he could’ve run off to.

“Hmmm….if I were a little shit human, where would I run off to during the morning”?

You then realized that because of the rain, the mud can leave hoofprints, or in a human’s case, footprints. So you exited the house and searched for any signs of footprints. You spotted one out of the corner of your eye.

“Bingo! Now which direction did you wander off to?” you said as you followed his tracks towards town.

Author's Note

Chapter 5 done, 6 currently set to be released later tonight if I'm really feeling it.

So Twilight is now determined to hunt down Anon at all costs just to get the feelings off her chest. Will she be able to track Anon down before the sun sets? We shall see in Chapter 6

In case y'all are wondering why I reference a lot of music and such, I'm basically the Anon in this story where I'm a music geek for things released before 2000. I think it's a pretty unique characteristic for this particular Anon.
I also try to add some appropriate music to add into the mood, hence Riders on The Storm as it was raining in the story.

I might do less music references from this point, unless you all are fine with listening to some tunes that some of you might not have heard.

Like always, any criticism and feedback is always appreciated!
