My New Roomate!

A sound from beyond made me come to the day. I cracked my eyes open and saw the light from the window, blinging me like always in the morning. The alarm on my side table was hurting my tired head. Press the button then get up, I put on my clothes for the day and get to the door. I check in the corner of my room and see Dash still hiding in the bags fast asleep.

I went into the kitchen and got a pen and paper and wrote a note for Dash to read while I was gone. I put the note on the table and headed out the door and to my car and drove away while the sun slowly got higher in the sky.

After a long day of work I went to my room the usual way and opened the door carefully. I then saw Dash hiding behind the couch.

“You’re smart! You didn’t know it was me and went right to hiding!” I said as I got to the kitchen. “You hungry for lunch?”

“Aww Yeah! Can I have one of those wheezemurgers again?”

“You mean cheeseburgers?”

“What I said!” of course Dash…

Then something popped up in my mind, yesterday, really everything last night was not really what I expected. I looked at Dash with an expression that told her that I wanted to talk. Though I keep cooking the burger since she wouldn’t have been able to know-.

“Look, I know you were trying not to get him suspicious, but WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?”

“D-Dash quiet down! I know I shouldn’t have done it bu-”

“You could have told him that the noise was, I don’t know, someone ELSE’S ROOM!?” Dash argued and blushed again.

I then just sat down at the other end of the table, I can’t argue with her so I just have to calm her down. This pony is going to be a hassle in my life…

“I know, I know. But I was just doing something quickly, I didn’t know what to do and my mind just scrambled. I promise I won’t do it again, but just don’t make a big deal out of it.”

“But it IS a big deal! You walked in the bathroom while I-”

“Shush! Someone might hear you!”

She then just sat down with her head down with a pouty face, silent and clearly wanting to stop the talk.

I sigh and go back to the stove just as it was ready, I got the burger ready and as I was walking away to my room I placed the burger in front of Rainbow and just walked away without saying a word. I then go on my bed and look up at the roof, I take my phone out of my pocket and start texting James.

Hey James, have you ever had to take care of someone who just caused chaos?

Lmao, yea. I have a niece that I have to babysit a lot and she is walking destruction.

Heh, kinda like a burden. It now seems like I have

someone who causes chaos in my life now.

Why? You live alone, so there is no burden for you…

Well, I

I just stopped mid text, Do I tell him? but he would call me crazy and if I prove it to him he will call someone. What should I do? I tilt my phone forward to look over it and I see Dash on the couch switching through the channels. What am I doing? I can’t just try to tell now, she is clearly going to be here for a while, maybe a year at least, I always did want company, but I didn’t trust anyone to live with me ever since… No, if I am going to live with her, then I need to break out of my shell, to help her. She didn’t just visit, she is stuck here…

I then look back at my phone. I then delete my text message, and try something else.

Yea but my mind is split, between my work life and my personal life. I want to have fun and go crazy but I also just want to be organized and ready for anything, I want to let go.

You still haven’t let go of her still huh? Well, you know where I’m at if you need me bro.

Ha! Thanks, I just… I kinda miss the company but also don’t want it.

I understand, it was a scary experience. You don’t have to keep it all in…

“Ay! What’s this show? It looks intense, it says ‘Hell’s Kitchen’? Huh, it did feel like it was like that sometimes.” Ah shit, I get up and go to the couch and look at the TV to see the cooks with the timer ticking down and the judges watching. I look back at the couch to see Dash laying on every inch of the cushion.

“Uhh, Can you move? I want to sit.”

“Nah man! This is my couch.”

“H-how are you even doing that? You are small compared to a human so how?”

“Just accept that- Hey! Woah!” She was trying to say before I pushed her to the side and sat on the other side of the couch.

“Wha-Hey! No fair!” She pouted while crossing her arms. Petty, but also adorable.

“Hm, I wanna go somewhere.”

“Not happening.” I snap back.

“Bu-What? I don’t want to be locked in here forever!”

“But! You can’t be seen by humans.” She crossed her arms again and turned away before she got entranced into the show.

“So, you like intense stuff?”

“Yeah I do! Those things are AWESOME! Like the WonderBolts every time they go on tour!”

“W-What?”

Dash then groans and puts her head up looking at the roof. “You really need to know more about my world rather than this boring one.”

“Alright, keep saying my world is boring then no more burgers.” I took out my phone again and I saw Dash freeze in the corner of my eye as I smirked.

“N-No! I didn’t mean it! Pleaaaassseee don’t take those blessing awaaaaayyy!” I chuckle as Dash then calms down and the TV brings her in again.

I go back on my phone and think of something.

“Do you want me to get you something?”

“Uh, Okay? But only get something cool!”

I then go on the message app again while laughing. Typical boastful one.

Hey James! Want to go to the carnival to get some prizes?

Alright! I’m down!

I then stand up and go to the door and look back at Dash who is just lying back fully on the couch again.

“Thanks for keeping it warm!”

“Ha, well just don’t get into trouble while I’m gone!” With that I walk out the door and head my way to the elevator.
