My Little Family

I woke up with a massive stomach ache, probably from all the monkey bread I had. So, I mainly stayed in my room for the rest of the time we were there. I was still a little worried about the whole situation of whether or not Puppet would like me. So in two days, I was going to tell Puppet how I felt. Since I had time to myself, I had time to plan. I thought about going to an area where we would be by ourselves, and I could tell him, but where could we go. ‘Maybe we could go to the laundromat where would play “PhotoHunt”.’ I thought to myself. ‘I could say that we should go there to play PhotoHunt since we haven’t for a while, then at some point, I’ll tell him. Maybe around 7:00 PM, we can go.’ A little while later, Puppet came in.

“Hey, Johnny. Are you doing good?” He asked.

“Not really. I still have my stomach ache. Hey, Puppet?” I asked.

“Yeah?”

“I was thinking, since we haven’t been there in a while, if I’m feeling better, how about we go to the laundromat that has PhotoHunt in it when we get back, just the two of us for old times sake?”

“Sure, that sounds good.”

“Alright.”

“What time were you thinking?”

“How about 7:00?”

“Alright, that sounds good. Do you need anything right now?”

“No, I’m fine. Thanks though!”

“Alright, I’ll see you later.”

The train ride back was good. I got the sleep I lost back. When we got to the station in Ponyville, it was already 4:30 PM. Chrysi, Puppet, and I returned to my house. I waited for 7:00 to come around, and when 7:00, I went to get Puppet and then we left.

The laundromat we are going is a little laundromat that is near a KFC/Taco Bell. Towards the back, it has this system where you can play different games. My favorite is Photo Hunt, a game where two pictures that look the same come up and you need to find the differences. When we got there, I used the speakers we bring everytime we go there to play “Christie Road”. We played Photo Hunt for a while. When we play, we get competitive. While whoever gets the most
doesn’t win anything, we play for points. I ended up winning, mainly because Puppet had a hard time touching the spots that were different (the game is on a touchscreen). Then, we played around with the carts that were there. Around 8:30, I saw that the sun was about to set. I told Puppet that we should watch it set. He didn’t find it weird because we usually watch it set. We went on top of the grocery store near the laundromat to watch it.

While we were watching it, I decided now would be the time to tell him.

“Hey Puppet, can I tell you a few things?” I asked.

“Sure.” He replied.

“Well first, I’m bisexual.”

“Really? Well, congrats. Who are the people that you love?”

“Well, the girl I loved was Delilah.”

“Yeah, I know about her. Who’s the boy?”

“It’s you.” He turned to me and looked at me.

“Well, I have something I need to tell.” I braced myself. This could either be one of the best moments of my life, or one of the worst.

“Alri-”

Before I could even finish, he kissed me.

“I love you too.” he said. “Also, I knew.”

“How did you know?”

“I might have looked in your diary.”

I turned and looked at him.

“Alright, how do you expect me not to look when you really sweaty and were stuttering on at least 25% of your words?”

I was about to say something before I realized there was nothing to say. “I guess I should have expected it.” I said.

“Can I ask you something?” he asked.

“Sure.” I replied.

“Why do you love me?”

“Well, it’s because you’re smart, funny, somewhat attractive, and maybe other than Discord, you’re the only one that gets my sense of humor.”

“Oh, I’m think anyone else would get your sense of humor.”

“I’m pretty sure if I said, ‘Do you ever just… like… you know?’, they wouldn’t find it funny.”

Puppet started laughing.

“I don’t know why they wouldn’t. If we find it funny, why wouldn’t they?” He said.

“The only reason we find it funny is because of how stupid it is.” We both started laughing. We were lying on our backs laughing.

“How about you? Why do you love me?”

“Pretty much the same reasons. It’s almost like were-”

I cut him off. “I swear, if you say, ‘It’s almost like were destined to fall in love.’. It’s so freaking corny.”

Puppet started laughing again.

When the sun set, I said to Puppet, “I wonder if iCarly is on.”

“It might be. We should show some episodes to Chrysi.”

After a pause, Puppet asked, “Can I tell you something?”

“This is America.” I replied, and Puppet chuckled.

“When we played for everyone else, and when we did ‘King For A Day’, what you did was amazing. I would have laughed, but I didn’t want to seem like I was laughing at you.”

“Yeah. Even though I might not ever not hear about it, Cadence said she had a blast, so at least I made one person- pony, I mean, happy.”

“If we were to ever play live, you should definitely do that again.”

“Wear pieces of clothing and give them away every chorus?”

“Yeah.”

“Actually, I was thinking that next time, I should wear a dress.” I said jokingly and Puppet started laughing again.

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I think you did almost look as beautiful as Billie Joe in those clothes. That joke you made about Rarity screaming in her head was also good as well.” We started laughing again.

“Well, we should probably head back, we don’t want to stay out too late.”

When we got up to go back down the latter, but when we turned around, we saw Discord. We just stared at each other for a few seconds before I said, “So, you didn’t see anything that happened, did you?”

“Oh, I did.”

“Wait, why are you even here?”

“Oh yeah!” he snapped his fingers, and a letter appeared. I caught it, and read it.

Dear Johnny Soaps,

A few days ago, Princess Luna came to me in my dreams asking if I knew where you were. The next day, when I wrote a letter asking if she found you. She said yes, and we got onto the point that you can sing. Something about us Changelings is that we love a good show. So, if you have time, could you perhaps come to our hive to play for us? Please write back as soon as possible.

From, King Thorax.

“Oh, it’s a letter from King Thorax asking if we can play for the hive. I’m down for it, are you guys?”

“Sure.” Puppet said.

“Well, what’s the date?” Discord asked.

“There’s not one on here, so he’ll probably let us do it on our time.” I replied.

“You guys can choose a date, and I’ll see if I can make time.”

“So, you’re not going to tell anyone what you saw?” I asked Discord.

“I won’t tell anyone-” Puppet and I sighed with relief, but then Discord said, “-that’s out of our friend group.”

Before we could react, he snapped his fingers and disappeared. “That little-” Puppet started, but I cut him off before he could say anything bad, “Hey, don’t worry. It could be worse. He could have said that he’s going to tell people out of our friend group.”

“I guess.”

“Let’s go home and watch iCarly.”

“Oh yay!”

A little later, after we watched iCarly, Puppet and Chrysi went to bed, I started writing the letter for Thorax before I went to bed.

Dear King Thorax,

We would love to come play at your hive, but I have a few questions. First, would it be okay if our friends came (I say we because I’m in a band consisting of Discord, Puppet (one of my friends) and I, and our friends being Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike and someone else, but I’ll get to that later in the letter)?

Second, would it be alright if we played sad songs, or would you prefer happy and upbeat songs?

Third, would it be alright if Queen Chrysalis came along? Now, I’m pretty sure you’re feeling some emotion, probably anger, because I asked if an enemy could come, but hear me out. A few months ago, I have been working on reforming her, and it’s been going pretty well. If you would like to hear a second opinion, ask Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, or Princess Cadence. I would appreciate it if she could come, as I wouldn’t want her to feel left out.

Fourth, I have installed teleporters in the castles of the princesses listed above, so would it be alright if I installed a teleporter in your hive? It would be a quicker way for you to reach the princesses and/or me, and a quicker way for us to reach you.

We are still working on a date to perform as we all need to be off. Please respond as soon as possible.

From, Johnny Soaps.
