Sombra’s Night Out (or is it?)

Sombra; whom already had plans to tutor his Canterlot High students at his house, is now stuck with babysitting his old colleague’s daughter: Flurry Heart, at their house. Unfortunately for him; it’s not going off so well as he’d thought it would.... .

Sombra listened long and hard to Flurry Heart’s crying; then he decided to take a deep breath to calm himself down, used one of his hands to cover Flurry Heart’s mouth to get her to stop crying, and starts asking her; “so, Flurry Heart is it? Hmm... . What’s the matter?” Flurry Heart paused crying for a bit to uncover her mouth, looked up at her new babysitter, and says whilst still having tears running down her cheeks; “m-m-me miss mama and dada.” After that, Flurry Heart continues crying.

With that in mind, Sombra then holds Flurry Heart close to him, puts her head on his shoulder, and then says in a soft tone whilst patting her back; “hey hey, it’s fine. Your parents did say that they’ll be back, right? So why’re you still crying?” Flurry Heart sniffled, before wailing; “yeah... but I miss dem now!” Sombra thought long and hard about what Flurry Heart just said, and then replies with; “I guess so. But, until your parents do come back, (and hopefully much more sooner than later), what do you wanna do till then?” Flurry Heart stopped crying for now, and thought long and hard about Sombra’s question, but was interrupted by her stomach growling. “I hungwy”, she whined. Sombra pats Flurry’s back again, and says; “okay then. Let’s see if there’s anything for you to eat. Let’s go.” Flurry Heart nodded, and sniffles while saying; “owkay den”, and starts laying her head down on Sombra’s shoulder whilst sucking on her thumb as a means to calm herself down. With that in mind, Sombra walks off with Flurry Heart to the kitchen.

Once Sombra and Flurry made it to the kitchen, Sombra opened the door to the fridge, and starts looking around. “Okay”, he began; “let’s see if there’s anything for you to eat.” Sombra looked everywhere in the fridge for something that Flurry Heart can eat, but only found bottles of milk on the side, and some other food, (not for Flurry Heart of course). “Hmm”, he began again; “you sure you wanted just a bottle? There’s gotta be something else for you to have; right?” Flurry Heart was gonna respond, but her stomach answered for her. “Ah well”, Sombra says defeated; “I guess it’ll do for now.” With that in mind, Sombra grabs one of the bottles, and looks at Flurry Heart before closing the door to the fridge. “So.. tell me. Do you like your bottle warm, or cold?” Flurry Heart made grabby hands, and tries to reach for the bottle as a response. “I guess cold huh? Nice.” Flurry Heart smiled with a blush, and nodded softly in agreement. “Okay then, let’s go”, Sombra said as he then closed the fridge door, and starts carrying Flurry Heart to the living room.

Sombra then arrives with Flurry Heart to the living room couch, sits down on the couch, sits Flurry Heart down on his lap, leans her against him, and gives Flurry Heart her bottle. “Wanna watch some tv, or do you wanna just only drink your bottle?” Flurry Heart responded with putting her bottle to her mouth, and starts drinking from it. “Okay then”, Sombra responds back; “that’ll do.” With that; Sombra is waiting for Flurry Heart to finish her bottle, whilst looking up at the clock every now and again to check the time. Sombra knew that this is only gonna get worse from here on out; despite it being only just a few minutes. He just knew that things are only gonna get worse before it can get better. Time will tell if he’s right, and he’s counting on it too.... .
