The three of them were sitting at a table at the family restaurant, Starlight Angels. The whole place was retro-stylized. Corrosion Abyss and Light Angel were currently having a chat as they waited for their order while the sunny pegasus had gotten some apple juice. As for Little Fraise, she wasn’t hungry but decided to order some Strawberry Lemonade.

“So you’re studying medical science?” asked Light Angel, impressed.

The void creature nodded. “Yeah, and biology too since I need to know a lot to perform surgeries in case I need to one day. Then, I’m thinking of getting my medical license in the future,” he explained. Corrosion Abyss had needed to know about the biology of tons of creatures for surgeries, and they even needed to know about medical diseases, conditions, and so forth for any theoretical situation.

The sunny pegasus nodded with rapt attention, understanding what the void creature meant. Meanwhile, the filly was looking off to the side of her eyes while drinking some strawberry lemonade. Little Fraise was looking at the ponies who were staring at the three. Well, the ponies were actually staring at Corrosion Abyss, wondering if any of them should either run away or contact the royal guards. The same thing happened when the three were on the way to the restaurant as there were ponies who either stared, quickly moved out of the way, or fled while screaming, scared at the sight of him. Although Abyss didn’t seem to care.

Little Fraise, however, was getting annoyed from the staring. “I understand that they’re afraid of daddy, but they don’t need to stare so much at him. They can either just keep their eyes to themself or leave,” she thought. “I would’ve gotten rid of them now, but I don’t think daddy and Light Angel would be happy if I did that. I guess I’ll put up with it for now.”

Luckily, the filly was distracted once the orders had arrived at the table. Corrosion Abyss had ordered a big plate of chicken nuggets with a side of curly fries, while Light Angel had ordered Carbonara. The two were now focusing on their meals, but would give pause to talk.

“So, tell me a bit about yourself,” said the void creature.

The sunny pegasus smiled. “Well, I love to read books, and I even like to solve riddles and puzzles too. Nothing’s more exciting than solving something challenging like that,” she said, in a cheerful tone. “I even like to try things even if they fail. It’s always a good experience as it’s better to try than to do nothing.”

Light Angel continued to talk about herself happily, which Corrosion Abyss was listening to while eating his chicken nuggets and fries. As the void creature was reaching over towards some chicken nuggets, they suddenly disappeared right before he could grab it, making Abyss’ hand grasp nothing

The void creature looked back at the plate, noticing that some of their chicken nuggets had disappeared as there was way less remaining. “What the…?” questioned Corrosion Abyss, confused. It didn’t add up as the ones that were missing were more than what he had eaten.

The sunny pegasus saw that the void creature was looking around at their own plate, confused. “Is something wrong?” she asked, concerned.

They nodded. “Yeah. Some of my chicken nuggets are missing,” answered the void creature.

Light Angel laughed a little. “Are you sure that you didn’t just eat them without noticing? You were distracted with me talking about myself,” said the sunny pegasus.

Corrosion Abyss shook side to side. “Sorry Light Angel, but I know for a fact that I had a lot more left and I only ate some, yet there’s even less on my plate and-” They looked off to the side at Little Fraise, only to see a lot of crumbs from the chicken nuggets in front of her for some reason. “-nevermind. Continue talking about yourself, Light Angel,” said the void creature. Corrosion Abyss had a sneaking suspicion why some of his chicken nuggets disappeared.

Light Angel continued talking about herself while the void creature was paying attention to the sunny pegasus.

As for the filly, seeing as how Corrosion Abyss was distracted, Little Fraise decided to take advantage of his distraction. “A few more should be enough,” thought the filly.

Little Fraise’s eyes darkened while her pupils glowed white. Then, a thin shadowed clawed hand appeared from in front of the filly on the table and headed for the void creature’s plate. It turned out that Little Fraise was the one stealing Corrosion Abyss’ chicken nuggets through her void abilities, and the filly was only doing this because even though she was full, the delicious smell of the food had attracted Little Fraise’s attention. It was like an irresistible call for some reason as the filly has never even eaten meat before. Little Fraise had originally planned to steal a few and try them, but as soon as she did, the filly loved them and wanted some more and kept taking some from the plate. Anyway, just as the shadowy hand was about to steal a few chicken nuggets…

“You know, if you wanted some chicken nuggets, you could’ve just asked,” said a voice, a tone of laughter.

Little Fraise looked up to see that she was caught in the act by the void creature and the sunny pegasus. The shadowy hand slipped away from the plate and disappeared.

“Sorry, daddy,” apologized Little Fraise.

Corrosion Abyss smiled. “It’s okay. The only reason you wanted to eat the chicken nuggets is because it’s made from chicken meat and you’re part void creature,” they informed. The void creature pushed the plate towards her. “You can have some, but don’t eat too much. You’ve already eaten a ton of food and I don’t want you to end up sick. Okay?”

The filly nodded. “Okay,” said Little Fraise. She reached over and began to eat some chicken nuggets.

Corrosion Abyss looked back at Light Angel. “So, anyway. Sorry for interrupting you before you can continue, and I know this is a weird question, but would you like to travel with me and my daughter on an adventure to another universe?” asked the void creature.

That surprised the sunny pegasus.

“I’m surprised, but can I ask you why you want me to come with you and your daughter to another universe?” asked Light Angel. Traveling to another universe does sound fun and like the kind of adventure she would want to go on, but the sunny pegasus wanted to know why he asked her to come along on the two’s travels.

“Well, one of the future universes that I was planning to take my daughter to was one with a beach as I wanted her to see the ocean and the marine life living there. Also, you did tell me that you loved the beach and that you wanted to go on an adventure one day in the future,” explained Corrosion Abyss. “So, I hope you can go along with us and see the ocean wave-ing at us.”

Hearing the pun made Light Angel laugh. She did love humorous puns after all.

They continued. “Besides, my daughter would love going on an adventure with a friend. Am I right?” said the void creature, looking at the filly.

Little Fraise, after having a few chicken nuggets, nodded excitedly. “Yeah! It’ll be fun!” she agreed, exclaiming. “Daddy told me that the beach has sand and dolphins and even lots of water too! I can’t wait to see it! You should come too!” The filly looked at the sunny pegasus, begging. “Pleeeeeease?”

She looked at Little Fraise before thinking about the pros and cons of going along with the two. In the end, the sunny pegasus made a decision.

Light Angel smiled. “Fine. One little adventure to the beach,” surrendered the sunny pegasus.

The filly smiled as well. “Yay!” she cheered.

Corrosion Abyss smiled as well, but then the void creature looked down and saw that the plate of food in front of his daughter was completely devoid of anything.

“What? You ate both my fries and chicken nuggets?” questioned the void creature, in a surprised tone.

Little Fraise looked sheepish. “Sorry, daddy. I guess I was so distracted that I ended up eating everything,” admitted the filly. She chuckled.

After a few seconds, they laughed. “It’s okay. Looks like you loved the chicken nuggets enough that you ate all of them despite being full,” said Corrosion Abyss.

The void creature continued to laugh, which caused Little Fraise to eventually be infected by his laughter and started laughing as well. Even Light Angel couldn’t resist laughing along with the two as well. The three didn’t care about the ponies watching them laugh.

A Few Minutes Later

After the sunny pegasus had finished eating, and Corrosion Abyss paid the bill and left a tip, the three had gone back to the park as it’d be a better place to open the portal than to open it in public for other ponies to see. Once they were in a spot of the park where no one was around, the void creature opened up portals to different beaches in different locations of other universes.

She was amazed. “Whoa,” said Light Angel.

“Which one of these beaches do you want to go to, Light Angel?” asked Corrosion Abyss, curious.

She was surprised. “I get to choose?” asked the sunny pegasus.

They nodded. “Yeah. It’s up to you since you’re our friend and this is technically your adventure too,” answered the void creature. “Little Fraise even agreed to you choosing the universe too.”

The filly nodded in agreement, smiling.

Hearing that made Light Angel happy. “Thanks, you two,” said the sunny pegasus. She looked amongst the portals until one caught her attention. It was like the beach from that universe was calling out to her.

The sunny pegasus pointed a hoof at the portal, mesmerized.

“That one looks good,” said Corrosion Abyss.

Corrosion Abyss nodded before making all but one of the portals disappear.

“Alright. Let’s go, you two,” he said.

The two nodded before Light Angel and Little Fraise both jumped through the portal, and the void creature floated right through after them. The portal closed after the void creature went through.

A Few Minutes Later

The sunny pegasus was out on the beach by herself, looking at some seashells while also arranging them into flower drawings on the sand. It was a hobby that Light Angel loved to do whenever she would visit a beach, and it was a fun one too. As soon as the three had arrived in that universe, the sunny pegasus was amazed at how beautiful the beach looked, and had decided to do her hobby while Corrosion Abyss and the filly had gone off to check out the nearby shops to see if either one wanted any souvenirs. The two had promised that if Light Angel was in any trouble, they’ll be there to help the sunny pegasus out.

She looked amongst the seashells, searching for a specific one. “I need a white seashell,” said the sunny pegasus. Something had attracted Light Angel’s attention. “Huh?”

By some sort of weird coincidence, there was a closed, pretty, white seashell a few inches away from her hoof.

The sunny pegasus picked it up and stared at the seashell, amazed. “Oh, you are pretty, you,” complimented Light Angel. She glared at it. “I hope you don’t have a strange animal inside.”

Light Angel thought about it for a few seconds before deciding that instead of making it a part of the flower, the sunny pegasus will take it with her. Light Angel had then pulled out a cloth from one of her saddlebags and put the seashell inside. Once it was wrapped up, the sunny pegasus placed it into her saddlebag. Once that was done, Light Angel started using the other seashells to make a few more flower drawings before the sunny pegasus felt like she was done.

Light Angel smiled. “There. I’m done,” said the sunny pegasus. Light Angel was looking at her work as there was a line of seashell flower drawings in the sand. “Looks very pretty.” Now that the sunny pegasus was done with that, she decided to try something else. “Since those two haven’t returned yet, I think I’ll go for a bit of a flight high up above the ocean. Besides, if they do return while I’m away, I know they’ll wait for me here somewhere on the beach. I’ll even show them my flower drawings too.”

Light Angel looked out towards the ocean before flapping her wings and flying off into the air. The sunny pegasus flew far and far above the ocean, having fun as everything was so peaceful and quiet.

She smiled. “This is so relaxing. Everything is so peaceful and quiet, the smell of the ocean is nice, and-” Light Angel looked down at the ocean water, when suddenly, a whale broke right out of the water, heading right for her, mouth opening. “-a whale’s trying to eat me,” said the sunny pegasus. It took a few seconds before she realized something was wrong with the picture. “Wait, what?!”

Light Angel quickly flew out of the way of the whale’s path, saving her from being eaten. The whale fell back in the water, creating a big splash.

The sunny pegasus was relieved. “Phew, that was a close one. Weird how it tried to eat me!?” exclaimed Light Angel.

The whale had swum back over to her and jumped out of the water again, trying to eat the sunny pegasus, who had then flown out of the way once more, causing the whale to miss again.

“Okay, flight’s over. I’m going back to land, and quickly before I end up as that whale’s snack,” said Light Angel, in a fearful tone.

The sunny pegasus quickly flew off, heading back to the beach with the whale right on her tail.

Author's Note

Looks like the two now have a friend temporarily traveling with them to another universe, but it seems that Light Angel is now in trouble. Let's hope someone comes to her rescue.

Little Fraise can eat meat despite looking like a pony. She just never had any before since Corrosion Abyss only had fruits and vegetables to make food from.
