Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

“Come back here!” I faintly heard Diamond shout and running in the hallway. With a groan, I rolled over in my bed. Derpy moaned as she shoved her face into the pillow and draped one arm over me.

“What is going on out there?” Derpy mumbled into the pillow. I glanced behind me at her. She had one arm dangling off the bed and she moved her head to stare at the closed door. “It’s like seven am.”

“I have no idea,” I grumbled. “But whatever it is, it’s too early for. I’ll go tell her and her sister to quiet down.”

“Okay be sure to put the waffles in the microwave,” Derpy mumbled. I gave a nod as I slid off the bed and pulled a shirt and pajamas pants on. I walked to the door and froze as I thought about her words. I looked back at her confused.

“Wait what?”

The only response I got was a snore from my partner and I gave a tired chuckle. As happy as she could get, she wasn’t a huge morning person. She only really got up for muffins.

“Someone was tired,” I chuckled as I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. I froze at the two girls running into each room following some weird four legged creature. “What in God’s good name are you two doing at seven am on a Saturday afternoon? And why are you yelling?”

“Oh hey Sunset,” Diamond Tiara said as she stopped running with Silver Spoon right behind her. “We’re messing around.” I peered at the weird little creature she was holding with large eyes. It stared back at me with wide green eyes.

“When did you get a cat?” I asked in confusion. “I’m pretty sure we didn’t have a cat when I fell asleep last night.”

“It’s a chihuahua!” Diamond Tiara exclaimed indignantly. She shifted her eyes off of me to the small dog and grinned.

“Oh sorry. You mean one of those little yappers that sounds like a broken fire alarm?”

“Be nice to the dog. There’s a chihuahua and a pomeranian,” Diamond held out the dog. “Go ahead and pet her.” I gave a shrug as I reached out a hand and slowly brushed the little head. She made a weird sound and closed her eyes. Honestly chihuahuas are some weird sounding dogs. Most of the noises they make worry me. Makes me think choking and dying on air.

“I half expected it to bit me when I got close,” I mumbled as I rubbed an eye and kept petting the dog.

“You have a surprise too,” Silver winked at me. “We heard weird noises coming from your room last night after Derpy came over. Were you two fighting or something?” I faintly turned red.

“Oh uh yeah we were,” I said sheepishly.

“Are you two still dating?” Silver asked worriedly.

“Oh yeah we got it resolved,” I chuckled nervously.

“Why was she moaning then?” Diamond asked in confusion.

“She accidentally stubbed her toe on the bed frame. You know how painful that can be,” I hastily said as I looked at the two. They looked at each other and shrugged.

“Okay,” Diamond said as she set the dog down. “Her name is Princess. The pomeranian is named George.”

“Princess and George huh,” I mused. “That works I suppose.” I stared as Princess and George started sniffing each other. “I take it they’ve never met before.” The two younger girls nodded.

“Don’t you wanna see your surprise?” Silver asked suddenly and eagerly as she and Diamond grinned.

“Sure. After I put waffles in the microwave,” I said as I moved for the stairs.

“What?” Diamond asked in confusion as the two younger girls followed me down the stairs. “Aren’t you supposed to put them in the microwave?”

“Don’t ask.”

“Uhm okay,” Silver said as we entered the kitchen. I opened the freezer and pulled two waffles out. Hopefully this would suffice for now. I have no idea how to make homemade waffles. I really should try to learn one day. I tossed them on a plate and nudged the door shut with a foot.

“So what is this surprise?” I asked as I put the plate in the microwave and turned it on.

“Miss Cheerilee!’ Diamond called out. “Sunsets awake!” I glanced back as Mom grinned as she walked in the room with a black dog with white spots and blue eyes.

“About time you woke up,” Mom chuckled. “Got you a friend. She’s a German shepherd husky mix. You can name her anything you want.”

“Aww she’s adorable,” I grinned eagerly. “Thanks Mom.” The dog brushed against my leg and licked my hand.

“No problem. She’s one year old. We got them this morning when you and Derpy were asleep.”

“I like her a lot. Does she need like, bathroom training or anything like that?” I asked as I scratched the dog behind her ears.

“Nope!” Mom said enthusiastically. “She’s fully trained.” That’s probably for the best. I have no clue how to get a dog trained. Probably a hard thing to do.

“She does have a habit of chewing stuffed animals,” Diamond warned me. “Hopefully you have none in your room.” I made a mental note to doublecheck for any.

“Alright thanks DT. Love y’all,” I said as I opened the microwave, pulling the plate out and setting it down. I gave Silver a grateful nod as she handed me the syrup. I had no idea what Derpy would want so hopefully this works.

“Love ya too?” Diamond said cautiously with a raised eyebrow. Silver gave her a smug grin.

“Come on Dixie,” I patted the dog and lifted the plate. “I got to bring breakfast up to Derpy. I’ll be back.”

“Okay have fun!” Mom grinned as I quickly walked up the stairs and opened my bedroom door. Dixie sniffed the door before cautiously walking in. I stepped in after her and shut the door. I set the plate next to Derpy and sat down in bed next to her, patting the bed. Dixie stared at me before jumping up. I slowly shook Derpy as Dixie sniffed her.

“Mhhh?” Derpy mumbled sleepily. I smiled at her.

“We really need to soundproof this room one day.”
