Chapter 1: To Hurt The Ones you Love

A month after the arrival

I laid on the couch with S’mores. She was laying in my lap enjoying me playing with her mane. My fingers ran through her mane. While my other hand caressed her back. Her ears flicked listening to the sound of the move we were watching.

The part of the movie had a song playing in the background that fitted this moment with me and S’mores laying down on the sofa together. I believe the song was by Kool and the Gang.

Alex currently wasn’t home since he was out getting all of us something to eat since we were all getting hungry and also the fact that neither of us was in the mood to cook anything.

He had called a nearby Casey’s gas station earlier to order a couple of pizzas for us and left not too long ago to pick them up.

So it was just me and S’mores together on the sofa with not much to do besides just watching a movie and me petting her.

While I was doing so, she looked up and started to ask a question.

“Hey Quinn, when you and Alex get the chance,” she asked, “could you two show me around the town where Alex had gone out to?”

That was a question that I hadn’t expected her to ask me.

I wasn’t against the idea but I was still worried about it. S’mores I a pony one that is not from this world if word gets out either she’d be taken from us or we’d have the whole world trying to get to her.

But if we did decide to show S’mores around town, we could have her hide underneath something with a little opening so that she could look outside into the human world.

Alex did take her out for a drive out by the lake in his truck two days ago which she enjoyed not only for the view of the snowy forest and lake but also because of how she was interested in how Alex controlled his automobile.

I decided to answer S’mores questions.

“We’ll see about that sweetie since we are gonna have some precautions so that both Alex and I will have to take when we take you out to show you around town.” S’mores nodded with agreement.

“I understand Quinn. Alex told me about what might happen and if I do happen to get caught, he told me that you and he will protect me the best you two can.”

I smiled at the filly's current mood. She was feeling very secure being with me and Alex and was simply fascinated with some of our technology here on earth.

“Sweetie this world is a corrupt place, It’s not all about friendship here. This life is full of problems, this life is full of pain. Especially if you don’t follow the right path. And if you don’t know how to get back up when you’ve fallen. I don’t always get what I want but I have you and I don’t want to lose that.” Quinn said nearly in tears.

“Thanks, Quinn that means a lot to me, I may not have told you much about me, but my family wasn’t perfect, My dad was an abusive prick as you’d say it. I loved the hell out of him but he was a drunkard, My mom was killed in an accident in Canterlot. Let’s Just say Equestria isn’t as perfect as the TV show Represents.

“I worry about you S’mores, This world has broken me and I don’t want that to happen to you.” He said as another song starts playing somehow switched on his phone.

Summer has come and passed. The innocent can never last. Wake me up when September ends. Like my Fathers Come to pass. Seven years has gone so fast…

“Wow, I guess this was the day my dad died… this song was meant to play, seven years after his death…”

My pets started to become more agitated, S’mores noticed this and started to nuzzle me.

“It’s ok Quinn you now have me and Alex, and I am sure he’d do about anything for you.”

Just as S’mores started to nuzzle my chest, the two of us heard the doorknob rattle with it being unlocked which meant that Alex had come back from picking up our lunch.

He was carrying two boxes of pizza and a plastic bag with two bottles of water, apple juice, and a two-liter of Dr. Pepper.

“Hey S’mores, I hope you like one of the pizzas that I had ordered earlier,” Alex said to S’mores as he shut the door behind him with his foot.

Both S’mores and I sat up on the sofa as Alex put everything on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

S’mores, being the curious filly she was, leaned towards the pizza to inspect it.

Before she opened up the top box with her muzzle, she looked up at Alex who gave her the okay with a nod of his head.

She opened up the box to reveal one of the pizzas that Alex had bought for all of us. S’mores made an ‘o’ with her mouth and her eyes went wide when her gaze fell upon the taco pizza in front of her.

Alex grabbed a slice and offered it to S’mores who took it in her front hooves right before she took a bite.

“I haven't had something like this since the last time I went out to eat with Lyra and Bon Bon.’ She said

Right as she took a bite of her lunch and tasted for a moment, she gave a satisfied sigh alongside a smile.

Several seconds passed before she took another bite which gave her the same amount of satisfaction as the first bite.

“Wow, that was… that was very delicious Alex,” S’ mores said as she finished off her first slice of pizza.

Right as she was about to grab another slice, Alex picked up a packet of taco sauce and motioned it towards her.

“I think you might enjoy some of this stuff on your next one,” Alex said to the filly sitting in front of me.

S’mores cocked her head as she inspected the white sauce packet before her.

She asked what kind of sauce it was to which my best friend replied, “It's taco sauce, let me put some on top of your piece of pizza and try it.”

S’mores nodded and held out her food for Alex to apply the taco sauce onto it.

Afterward, she took a big bite and her eyes immediately lit up in surprise.

“Sweet Celestia that was amazing,” she blurted out with her mouth full of food. Alex and I both smiled as S’mores enjoyed her lunch.

We both got ourselves a helping and our drinks to go with it and started to eat as I put on a movie for each of us to enjoy.

******************

(A Couple Hours Later)

While S’mores was in the bathroom to try and relieve herself of diarrhea from the pizza, Alex and I were discussing what to do in case of an emergency involving S’mores.

She had the shits pretty bad so the two of us had plenty of time to talk about the plans to help her out in case of something bad happening to her.

Alex started out by bringing up about her wanting to see what is beyond our place and the area around the house. This was something that we definitely wanted to discuss since she really wants to see what the nearby town is like and other places as well.

I talked about putting some blankets and pillows in the back of our vehicles whenever we bring S’mores with us whenever we need to go out to get something like gas or something else.

Alex also brought up what to do in case someone finds out about her and yaps about what they saw and we get the authorities after us.

I told him that may not be a problem like it is in Video games. But he still seemed worried.

None of us knew what could happen to her or even us if someone found out. And it got us thinking about the portal that S’mores had to of arrived threw could it still be out there. He said that may be the best option to get out of here fast.

I also wanted to see if any of my other Brony friends could help us.

Alex nodded and said that he would try to get ahold of him within a week or so.

Our conversation continued on for a bit about where to go in case we need to skip town in order to protect S’mores whenever that time comes and about some other stuff that we also wanted to discuss up until S’mores finished up with using the bathroom and came into the kitchen in the middle of Alex and I talking.

“Hey Quinn I'm finished going potty,” she said as she trotted into the kitchen. Both I and Alex stopped talking and directed our gaze towards the filly. She asked if both of us could play a game with her to which we agreed to do so.

**************

Even more time later…. (Can You Move Along I'm Running All Out of Time Cards)

Alex and I were cleaning up, after a little accident that S’mores had while we were playing around with her. The two of us wrote down a mental note since S’mores got a little too excited during our tickle fight and wet herself on the rug.

“I guess tickle fights with a pony isn’t a bright idea, ay Quinn,” Alex cracked with a smile.

“Probably, depending on how ticklish they are and for how long you do it for,” I replied.

S’mores was in the bath getting cleaned up after her accident since she pissed on herself herself along with a bit on the carpet that she was being tickled on. Alex told me that the next time we have a tickle fight with S’mores to make sure that we don’t go overboard to the point where she has another accident as she did earlier.

Afterward, I got up from my hands and knees to stretch out and asked him if he could finish up with cleaning the piss stain from the carpet while I go to check up on S’mores to make sure that she was doing alright in the bath and if she needed my help with anything.

“Sure, I can take over with cleaning out the stain from the rug,” Alex said with a shrug of his shoulders as I turned to head towards the bathroom.

When I got to the door of the bathroom, it came open and hit me square in the face without causing any pain whatsoever.

S’mores walked out from behind the door with a look of worry on her face meaning that she knew that she accidentally hit me in the face with the door as she went to open it from inside the bathroom.

“Oh my gosh Quinn, are you alright?” She asked worryingly.

I nodded and said, “Yeah I'm okay sweetie, I'm not hurt or anything like that.”

S’mores gave a sigh of relief after being told that I’m alright and not hurt after she accidentally slammed the door in my face.

“In case you’re wondering why I was coming into the bathroom S’mores,” I started to say, “I was coming to check up on you and see if you need anything that requires my help.”

The filly gave a nod and said that she did need a little help with washing up a little bit. At the same time, I noticed the smell of urine was still on her a bit after what happened earlier which told me that she did indeed need some help. S’mores blushed out of embarrassment after she realized that I caught wind of the lingering smell of urine in her coat that was still there.

I picked her up to put her in the tub and as I did, she grabbed a bottle of shampoo for me to use for her coat. After I sat her down in the tub, she handed me the bottle of soap to which I put some shampoo on her back and began to rub it into her coat to rid her of the smell and to get out the dirt that she had in her coat.

I could feel small bits of dirt within her coat which felt as if they were stuck to her fur in one way or another. I also added some conditioner alongside the shampoo to see if it would help some more with removing the knots which I wanted to try and get rid of first before I started with the dirt. Removing the first few was a breeze since they weren't tangled up as much as the other ones became.

“Um sweetie what have you been doing to get so many knots in your mane and tail?” I asked confused.

“Nothing I don’t normally do she said.”

“What do you mean by that,” I asked.

She blushed so I decided not to pry

Within no time at all. I had untangled all of the knots within S'mores' coat so it was time to clean out the dirt from her fur. Pouring some water from a cup over her back, both the soap and dirt came out and ran down into the bathwater below. I repeated this process a few more times until all the soap had washed off requiring that I add some more to get the rest of the dirt off of the filly.

"Here you go Quinn," said S'mores as she gave me the bottles of both the shampoo and conditioner that she had atop her head.

"Thanks, sweetie," I replied as I took both bottles of hygiene products from atop her crown and started to apply some more to her coat to get the last bit of grim from her brown and white coat.

The little pony looked up at me and smiled, then said” Quinn There is something I have been wanting to tell you.”

“Yes sweetie, I responded with a smile of my own.

“Uh, Quinn you know how I have been following you around everywhere and asking you a lot of questions about your personal life.”

“Yeah I know you’ve been kinda clingy lately, is there a reason,” I ask already expecting the answer.

“Well I think it’s because I am falling in love with you,” she said with a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

I take another cup full of water and dump it over her head.

“Well sweetie that was kinda obvious’ even Alex knew you liked me, and more than just and he doesn’t even know he has a crush himself.

At this point, she had a huge blush on her face and she started squirming under my touch as I continued scrubbing her mane.

I decided to add some more into her mane which she wetten herself more while playing with another cup that was left here by Alex for some reason. With the soap now soaking into her mane, I grabbed the cup from S’mores and dumped it over her head, rinsing out the soap that I just put in her hair.

“So S’moresy why are you just now telling me this?, I asked

“Uh…” she said over and over again until I stopped her by saying that I was waiting for her response.

If you want the truth is I think I hit puberty this last week and I think I am going through heat… This bath is making me… kinda aroused, with you bathing me and really want you to clean my nethers…” she told me with a hint of sorrow in her voice.

“Well sweetie I am glad you're telling me instead of acting it out against me, but I really don’t want to make you any more aroused or myself aroused. It's just I really don’t want to hurt you.

"How can you hurt me by touching me?" she asked

“Well sweetie, you are too young for sex."

“No, I’m not...”

I cut her off. "S’morse just because you hit puberty doesn’t mean you are old enough for sex. Sure your body is able to produce the hormones needed but you are still not big enough let alone mature enough for it."

“Well, at least I don’t masturbate every day…” She said in a maddened tone.

“S’mores…”

“What, is there something wrong with me… that you just don’t want”?” She said now becoming even madder.

"S’mo…"

"Shut up, I don’t care what you have to say." She said as she jumped out of the tub and ran out of the bathroom, slamming the door on the way,

“Fuck what have I done…

Chapter 2: Please forgive me

Chapter 2: Please forgive me

“Fuck what have I done," I said to no one in particular.

I pulled the plug out of the tub to let it drain and got up off the floor where I have been sitting for a few hours.

I messed up big time. I thought to myself.

But what I did get was the voice of my father telling me, “You did this because you thought it was right. You did this course what happened with your X. You two were too young and you didn’t want it to happen again. She wasn’t wanting you for the sex, she was wanting you for you. Shure she specifically asked for sex, but that was not all she was asking for she was asking you to love her as she loves you, she was asking for your attention. I was the one who gave you this chance now it's my job to make sure you keep it…”

Flashback

“Father please don’t leave. Please don’t leave me," I cried into his shoulder many years ago. I’ll never leave you he said as he faded away. “Father! Father…” My stepmom puts her hand on my shoulder.” Quincy It’s ok honey, It’s his time.” said my stepmom, and the flashback faded

Flashback 2

“You fucking cunt! Is sex all you care about? You have a fucking daughter to worry about and all you can worry about is sex. I would have let you go out with some girls if you asked me. but fuck them like a porn star! Then text me the video how could you do this to me!” Said the words of my X-wife. “Mom what’s going on.” “Glory We Are Leaving!”

That was the day I changed my name and forgot who I was. I was a monster just waiting to be let free. A monster that destroys every relationship I am in and turns it into something only for Its advantage. What have I become

Putting away the towel that I was gonna use for S’mores to dry her off with, I left the bathroom, feeling completely like shit and just wanting to get something to drink. I didn’t want to attempt to try and talk to S’mores at the moment since she is still upset about what I had said to her so it was gonna be a little while before I could try and make amends to her.

In the kitchen, I grabbed a glass from the cabinet above the stove and took a bottle of hard apple cider out of the fridge. Pouring myself a glass, I sat down at the kitchen table with a glass of cider in hand and a bottle of the stuff in the other. I quickly drank the apple beverage with a single gulp. For the next fifteen minutes, I finished off the rest of the apple cider feeling like I have fucked up the only relationship that I had left (except a friendship with Alex and Tyson) and just wanting to go to bed and let the hangover in the morning punish me for what I did tonight.

Getting into bed, I didn’t bother stripping down to my underwear for the night but instead chose to just sleep in my T-shirt and jeans. With the warm air of my bedroom covering my body as I lay down in bed, I quickly went to sleep with a few tears falling onto my pillow below.

***********

Waking up with a killer headache, I noticed that it was still dark out. Looking over at my alarm clock that was laying on my bedside table, it read that it was after four in the morning. I was still a little tired but that feeling became overwhelming with the hangover that I was now going to be dealing with for the day. I also really had to take a piss so I got out of bed and went straight for the bathroom.

*********

With a pot of coffee being made, I decided to make myself a breakfast sandwich in the microwave for now until I felt like making myself something bigger for breakfast. I watched as S’mores gets out of her makeshift bed on the couch, not paying attention to me at all. I noticed that she was soaked in sweat and had bags under her puffy bloodshot eyes that were full of emotion. I didn’t bother to say good morning because I imagined that it wasn’t all that good for her. I felt bad for lying to her even though it wasn’t completely a lie and the fact that she didn’t know I was lying to her too began with. I grabbed the sandwich out of the microwave and sat at the table. But what I wasn’t expecting was S’mores to sit with me.

“Um is there something wrong,?” I ask.

“Yeah It's your face,” she shot back

“S’mores, I love you, but I am not wanting to take our relationship that far yet.”

I thought I’d never been saying this to a girl but I guess I was wrong…

“And why not?”

“Well, It’s a long story that I don’t think you're ready for…”

“Quinn I know your story Alex told me last night,”

“Well that is only part of it… the other part only me and Seth Know…”

“Then why don’t you tell me?” She asked innocently.

I grabbed a cup of coffee and answered, “because It’s something I regret and only tell people I think I won’t lose…”

“If you’d just have me you won’t lose me you, idiot.” She said with venom in her words but also something I couldn't place as she finally eased up…

“But I don’t want to hurt you,”

“How could you hurt me I already had my first time with one of my old friends and it's not like I was asking you to fuck me anyway." She said adding a lot of harshness to the word fuck.

“What do you mean you already had your first time,” I ask kinda confused.

“Quinn before I moved here I was a street rat, Sure Lyra and Bonbon took care of me but They were barely ever home.

Sure my rich friends had provided me with a home and a nanny but that wasn’t enough to keep me off the streets. I may look like a helpless filly, but I’m not. I have seen more pain than you can know Quinn. You know that campout I was telling you about. It was my first time there and It wasn’t anything special like I was hoping, and you're nothing special either! So stop treating me like I am your little filly!"

“I’m sorry sweetie…”

“Don’t be it's my life, and I don’t think I want you part of it…” She said as she ran to the bathroom and slammed the door… I guess that is the only place in this three-room house to get privacy.

It wasn’t much of an apology I still haven’t told her I lied about some of my past too.

I got up from my chair and walked to the living room to sit in the recliner to watch some mlp. I haven't watched the tv show since S’mores showed up so I really wanted to catch up.

My Little S'mores Butt

Chapter 3: My Little S'mores Butt

It has been two weeks since my and S’mores’s fight.

“S’mores Get your ass In here,” I could hear Alex yell from the bathroom.

I could only guess what he wanted. Since the little pony kept forgetting to either flush the toilet or clean up after herself. She has also been doing things to get on me and Alex's nerves since I made her mad at me in the bath. She won’t do anything I ask her, so Alex has to do it. It has been making him really mad at her, mad enough that he asked me if he could spank her one night. I of course told him that it was a bad idea because I didn’t want to hurt her any more than I already have.

I walked to the living room to sit on the sofa. But as I did so I could hear Something in the bathroom.

“What the hell?” I said confused as to what just happened in the bathroom.

I get up from the sofa and walk to the bathroom door but before I could open it S’mores gallops out crying.

“Alex what did you do,” I asked as I walked into the bathroom.

“Sory Quinn But she wouldn’t flush the toilet so I had no other choice,” Alex apologized.

“Realy?” Alex, I told you not to spank her without my approval.”

“But…” Alex starts

“No Buts,” I said

…

“Why’d you have to spank her? All you had to do was flush it yourself, but you had to bring her in and spank her… And I told you not to spank her now she is probably mad at us even more than she was.”

“Quinn I am sorry. But I think you should talk to her maybe if you do she won't be mad anymore,” Alex tassels

“I tried that, man but she just won’t listen. She is just too mad at me.”

“Well now's a better chance than ever,” Alex tells me

“What do you mean,” I ask

“Well if you comfort her while she is still in her fragile state maybe she would listen to what you need to tell her.”

“I guess you're right Alex,” I said, getting ready to walk out the door.

“Good luck mate,” he said as I left the bathroom.

*******

An hour had passed and S’mores was still crying in my room.

So I finally worked up enough courage to take the opportunity Alex told me about and went to comfort her.

I opened the curtain to my room and walked over to my bed without S’mores noticing me. It was when I laid down on the bed beside her she actually looked up at me.

“What do you want,” Asked S’mores.

“I was just checking up on you because I was worried about you.”

“Why s-should you c-care,” said a hiccuping S’mores.

“Just because I got mad at you once doesn’t mean I don't still care about you, sweetie,”

S’mores just stared at the pillow in front of her and didn’t respond until I asked her” How her bottom felt.”

“I am fine, ok now will you leave me alone,” S’mores said with annoyance.

“Sweetie I am just asking because…”

Some snow falls from the roof outside startling us both.

“Ok I’ll show you,” S’mores said as she turned around and showed me her Bottom

I give a silent thanks to whoever is watching over me, As S’mores showed me how she was, and thankfully her bottom wasn’t bruised badly. I slowly inched my way towards her. Trying to not have her notice.

“Does it still hurt,” I ask?

“Yes,” said S’mores.

I continue to inch myself closer to her. But when I finally make my way by her, she squirms away.

“S’mores Butt what's wrong.”

“I don’t know. It's just I’m still kinda mad about what you said,” said S’mores

“Sweetie I am very sorry about what I said,” I apologize once again

“I know you are Quinn, but I don’t know if I should trust myself around you.

“What do you mean sweetie,” I ask.

“I mean that I am mad at myself more than I’m mad at you. I shouldn’t have let myself get turned on by you bathing me, I shouldn't have argued, and I shouldn't have taken what you said seriously because I know how much you love me.”

“S’mores we all make mistakes that are just some things that happen in life.”

I reached out and grabbed S’mores pulling her close to me.

She gave out a sigh and snuggled into my embrace.

“I love you S’mores Butt.”

“I love you too Quinn.” She responded with a nuzzle to my chest.

Chapter 4: A Newcomer Arrives…

Me and S’mores were in the kitchen preparing a meal for all of us. But was distracted when Alex came into the room.

“Quinn you might want to see this,” Alex said as he stepped in front of me. “What is it Alex?”, I asked, feeling concerned since his tone said that something was up. “Just come with me to the window by the front door,” I followed Alex as he led me to the window. Alex pulled back the curtain just a tad so that we both could look outside.

The snow was still there but due to some recent warmth from the south blowing in, it was starting to melt even though it was the beginning of February. “So, what is it that you wanted to show me?” I asked. “Just keep looking, you’ll find out what it is when you see it,” For about a minute, Alex and I kept watching out the window for anything that Alex had supposedly seen outside.

Just when I was about to leave, a teal-colored pegasus with a long light grey and white mane landed in the yard softly looking very curious and confused at the same time. I was speechless as to why there was another pony here in our world. I could tell that it was a mare judging by its build and its height and that she was older than S’mores.

“See, I told you that you’re gonna want to see this,” Alex said to me as he looked at the winged equine. “H...How did another get into our world?” I asked, quite shocked at the situation. Alex said that he was as stumped as I was but gave a prediction that the portal that S’mores came through could still be open.

Alex and I began to discuss how to approach the pegasus without scaring her off.

Alex suggested calling out for it to come over to us and inviting her inside. I have an idea that in cases that plan didn’t work, one of us would go after her to calm her down enough to where she feels safe around us. Alex agreed and stated that if it came to that, we needed to make sure nobody saw her since we don’t need the cops all over our asses looking for her and S’mores.

Alex got up from kneeling down and went to put on his shoes and coat while I went into the kitchen and grabbed some food for Alex to give the mare outside since I wanted to stay back with S’mores and explain to her what was outside. “I’m going to go out the back door and sneak around towards the front so that I don’t scare her off,” Alex explained as he took the apple from my hand and walked over to the back door.

As he left to get the mare, I went back into the kitchen to get S’mores and to explain what was going on. But she wasn’t there anymore. So I decided to look in my bedroom and as I entered my room to my surprise, I found the filly in question cuddling with one of the pillows as she rubbed her filly parts against the bedsheets. S’mores notices me standing in the entryway and ceased her self pleasuring.

“Oops, I’ll let you finish up S’mores,” I said as I shut the curtain behind me. Instead of finishing up, she lets go of the pillow and hops off of the bed. She opens the curtain and as I look down at her, she had probably the cutest blush that I had ever seen on her face since she knew that she was caught in the act. “Please don’t be mad at me Quinn,” she pleaded with both a cute-looking blush and puppy dog eyes.

“Why would I be mad at you S’morse butt?” I asked, “I'm not mad at you for doing something that is completely normal for someone your age.” She looked very relieved when I told her that I wasn’t mad at her. “Well, if you’re wondering why I was getting myself off Quinn,” S’mores stopped for a moment before speaking up, “I was thinking about me and you together and how your hands would feel being all over me down there.”

Now it was my turn to blush. She did explain afterward that she knew that she was too young for me to breed with her but that she could wait till she got older so that she and I could play hide the bone. “Well I'm glad to hear that you understand that I want to wait until you’re older so that we can do what you want me to you, but, if you must get yourself off, could you please use the stuff in the box under the bed next time sweetie,” I explained.

“You have Toys,” She asked.

“Um yeah, they were my wives, and some reason she left them here…”

S’mores blushed even harder when I brought up about using the ‘toys’ under the bed. I told S’mores about what Alex had to show me and she was filled with both concern and delight.

“But, how did another pony like me get to your guy's world?” she asked out of confusion. I told her that Alex and I didn’t really know but that Alex had a theory about there maybe being a portal between Equis and our world and also that the fact that I thought about there being some unicorn or alicorn magic still lingering in different parts of our world. I brought up to S’mores that there is no magic here in our world to which she started to freak the fuck out.

After what seemed like an hour, I managed to calm down S’mores to the point where she wasn’t like Twilight Sparkle after the school of friendship was closed down. It took me a while since she was scared shitless about being told about there being no magic in our world but she calmed down after I explained that there has to be at least some here on earth from Equestria or other parts of Equis since she had to of arrived here from some form of portal somehow.

She gave a sigh of relief knowing that there must be some form of magic in our world and since I told her that Alex and I have been discussing what to do to get some magic lingering in the air or something like that. S’mores rubbed her chin in thought for a few short moments before finally speaking again.

“Hey, since humans use a lot of electricity, maybe there could be a way for you guys to convert it into magic,” S’mores explained like a smart school pony. I told her that that sounds like a very interesting idea and also that Alex and I had talked about that idea over for a while since last week and how we could do it but it would be very difficult to do since neither of us has any experience with electrical work of any sorts. After that, I changed the subject to talk to S’mores about what Alex had to show me earlier.

*******************

Alex still hadn’t come back inside which said that he was still dealing with the pegasus outside. While I looked out the window looking at Alex, S’mores stayed on the couch watching me as I looked outside to spot Alex. I then saw him come out from the garage with the said pony who seemed to be fairly calm as she walked next to Alex towards the house.

I turned back towards S’mores and told her that Alex is coming inside with the pony just as they were coming up toward the front door. S’mores hopped down from the couch that she was sitting on and made her way over to me just as the door began to open.

The first to come inside was none other than the Pegasus herself who looked up at me with a look on her face that said that she was uncertain about being here in my house but as she looked down and saw S’mores, that look went all the way out the door. The teal-colored pegasi got down to eye level with S’mores and moved close to her. “Alex sure wasn’t lying when he said that there was another pony here,” the pegasus said as she looked at the said pony.

I moved out of the way so that the older pony could sit next to S’mores and also let Alex inside since he gestured for me to move out of the way since he couldn’t get in due to me blocking the doorway. When he got inside, he closed the door behind him blocking the cold winter air from entering the house.

The older pony looked around the house with her mouth formed into an ‘o’ as she looked around. “My, this place seems quiet,” the pegasus cleared her throat, “nice and comfortable.” Alex went up to her after he took off his sneakers and coat and kneeled down right next to her. “I hope you like it here Snow Melody,” he said to her as she looked around the room.

Her gaze stopped upon the TV and the equipment that was set up and she asked us what they were. Alex and I were about to explain right when S’mores stepped up to explain what they were. She informed Snow Melody about what the TV was and what it is, about the other stuff that was plugged into it, and went over how it worked and what it was used for.

I was a little stunned and so was Alex when the filly managed to explain all that to someone older than her like that. Snow Melody was now even more intrigued about the technology in the house and asked if she could see if she could get a taste of them. Alex decided to start out small so he sat down on the couch and had the winged equine sit next to him.
“Here”, he said as he pulled out his smartphone, “let me show you some of the function of this piece of human tech,” While Alex showed Snow Melody his Smartphone, S'mores and I went into the kitchen to get a quick snack.

“Sweet Celestia,” said Snow Melody, “So you're telling that you can play this game with millions of other humans around the world and with just the press of a button.” The pegasus was amazed by how possible it was to be able to meet many other humans around the world without having to travel around the globe just to meet them.

Alex showed her some of the games on his Xbox and explained to her about how to play them and also about some other stuff that I paid no attention to since S'mores and I went into our room to get out some blankets and pillows for the new pony here so that she could sleep comfortably tonight.

I figured that she would be sleeping in Alex's room since the living room tends to get freezing cold at night around winter even though it's warming up outside. S'mores pulled out a few blankets using her teeth while I took out a couple of blankets that I had since my teen years.

“I should wash all of these before giving them to Snow Melody since it's been years since I last washed them,” I said as I took a sniff at one of the blankets that I was carrying. S'mores did the same then spat out the pillow that she was carrying. She agreed with me that they needed to be washed and went to get some laundry detergent from the cabinet above the washer and dryer.

“Um Quinn, a little help,” she asked after she attempted to hop up onto the washer to get to the cabinet. I walked over to her and placed her on the dryer then got the laundry soap myself. I had the brown and white filly hold onto the bottle while I went back into my room to fetch the blankets and pillows that I was gonna have Snow Melody use for when she goes to bed later tonight and for pretty much every night afterward.

After I had gotten the blankets and pillows for Snow Melody washed and dried off, I went into Alex's room to put them on his bed. His room was mostly clean save for the desk that he moved into here which was a bit disorganized with an HD TV on it with a few other consoles of his plugged into it.

There was also some papers covering the desk which upon inspection, were written guitar chords for songs that he was practicing on his acoustic, some drawings that he made, a list of things that he was wanting to do in some of the games that he played on the consoles in here, and an unfinished drawing that he was making based on the game Just Cause 4.

I also got a good look at a photo that had him and his sister when they were around five or six and his parents on it as well. I remember Alex telling me about a month after we first became friends that his mom and dad separated when he was only twelve and about a year later after we became friends, they got divorced.
He told me that ever since that day when he was twelve, he has had some emotional problems that he still has somewhat of to this day. Turning my gaze away from my best friend’s family portrait, I find S’mores snooping around inside of Alex’s closet which she’s not supposed to be doing while we’re in his room. “What do you think you’re doing in there you sneaky little filly,” I said to S’mores as I walked over to her so I could find out why she was in Alex’s closet.

I bent down to investigate what she was doing and she looks back at me with a cookie in her mouth. The filly in question had a look that said that she knew what she was doing and didn’t look the least bit guilty at what she had done. “Now where did you get that?” I asked and to which she directed my attention to a black trash bag that she had ripped open and I could see a few cookies on the carpet.

Looking inside the bag, I found quite a stash of snacks including the cookies that S’mores had found alongside bags of chips, beef jerky, packets of ramen noodles, and many other packages of food that were in the sack. “Jesus, how long did Alex have this for,” I asked myself out of confusion as to why Alex had a junk food stash in his closet.

Upon further inspection, all of the food except for the package of chips ahoy that S’mores got into were sealed shut and could still be fresh and good to eat. I also came across a note that read the following, “use only in case of emergencies or during a special occasion.” After reading the note, I turned back to S’mores to see that she was still enjoying the treats that she had gotten into.

“I think we should get out of Alex’s room before he comes in here to find us inside of his closet,” I said to the filly who had stuffed at least two cookies into her mouth. Leaving Alex’s room, I could hear the sound of singing and a cheering crowd coming from within the living room. Wondering what band Alex was showing Snow Melody, I walked into the living room to see that the two of them were watching a concert from 1985 with the band Queen playing the song ‘Hammer To Fall’.

Snow Melody took notice of me and asked if I wanted to sit down and watch the video with her and Alex. “I’d love to but I need to get something done right now so that you can feel right at home tonight,” I said to the pegasus. She nodded and gave me a thank you for being so nice to her and one to Alex as well.

Leaving the living room, I found S’mores in the kitchen drinking an entire bottle of Mountain Dew. “Oh for the love of,” I said to myself out of dissatisfaction as S’mores had already eaten around 10 cookies while we were in Alex's room and now a soda heavy with caffeine, she's gonna end up like pinkie pie for sure…
