Author's Note

This new work schedule for working on my games is gonna make these waits between chapters a bit longer..

Acceptance...

Not far from my city is a big carnival and theme park, I always remember going to it as a kid! I park my car and then see James appear out of his.

“So, why do you want to win some prizes?” Shit.

“M-My neighbor has been very nice and i want to give them something.”

“Alright! So where to go first?”

***

The sun slowly sets as I watch it from the beach shoreline. Even though I had a good time there was something that felt off about it.

“Hey! I got fries!” and James came back with some fries and we started to eat them faster than we could see.

This view, this place. Dash, I wish she could come out and see this. But there is no option… or… is there?

“I-It’s been a long day, I gotta go.” I say with a cold expression as I pick up the prize I got for her.

Normally while driving my car I would just go without looking around, but this time everything seemed new. There was no protest, no robbing of stores, just a peaceful city. I look back at the prize, it was a giant lightning bolt pillow. I assumed she liked them because she had a tattoo of it. But why put a tattoo on your butt?

As I opened the door I saw Dash wake up from a nap and look around.

“Mhmaahdnahuh?” She said while getting up. I walked in and as I got to the couch I could feel something wash over me. Acceptance, I then looked back at all the memories of my failed roommates.

Wait. Every single time it failed was because they were trying to help me.. They wanted me to go out and make new friends, but I was just… Cold…. I had always been an extrovert my life as a kid. But that one day….. Everything fell apart…

“You love sleeping don’t you?”

“W-What's going on?”

“Haha, I told you I would get you a prize!” I said before giving her the pillow, her tired eyes sprung open as she grabbed it and started to snuggle around it. Behind the prideful self is a soft spirit.

“OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh! Thank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank you!”

“Alright jeez it’s just a pillow!” I could then feel my tired self demand my own pillow near me.

As I walked to my room and went to bed there were only a few things I heard before dozing off. It may have been a sentence long but it felt like a paragraph.

“You know, you humans aren’t so bad after all!” Classic Dash…

It is the next day and I have a day off, but I never expected to be struggling to stop a drunk Dash from going outside my apartment.

Oh right, I may need some context first….

I opened my eyes and woke up and went to the kitchen. And found a drunk Dash in the kitchen.

No, No I am not keeping any secrets from you, that's all that happened! I woke up and saw a drunk Dash barely able to speak, I don’t even know myself.

“Hehehehehey my man! Mould tu do me a mfavor and mamake me another one of zsose anamzing murgers?”

“W-What? How the fuck did you get drunk?”

“Oh I saw a tzzzrt….random mottle in the cridge! It tasted spour but over time I yegan feeling…. *burp* I-I forgert!” I facepalm again, This is going to be a long day…

***

“Whazada Hay man! I’m just hrying to go and see the great soun!” I am now blocking the door and trying to get Dash to relax so she can sleep until sober.

“D-Dash, just go to bed!”

“B-But brut but but but! Its sunny out! No moon is out when day is out in world!” What the fuck?

After a few minutes I managed to make her give up as she sat on the couch next to her pillow. Now she would have slept if she could stop giggling, yep, she was drunk alright. I then take away the bottle and put it in the trash.

“He,hehe, he-Wait! W-Whaccah doin man! That bottle made me feel good!” I then turned on the TV to block her mind and it worked as she was very interested in the NacCar show. Even though I felt angry and frustrated at her, I could help but smile.

Heh, guess this is the chaos I expected getting this roommate.

***

It is now noon and I am at the table with a mad expression looking at the other side to see an embarrassed and sober Dash as she tried to cover her face with her wings.

“Why!? Why did you drink from the beer! What did you just find and want to drink?”

“Look man!” She snapped back, “The bottle wasn’t even labeled! The sticker was peeled off so how would I know!” I gave her a glare before she slumped over and looked down.

“I-I’m sorry…” She said with a slight blush. I loosened my glare and felt some sympathy. I then reach out and start scratching behind her ear.

“W-What the? W-What are you!?.....” She couldn’t finish as she slumped over into my grasp. I even saw her food twitching a bit. I then smirk and pull my hand away.

“H-Hey! Why'd you stop…” She also couldn’t finish before blushing and looking away and giving me a sticked out tongue face.

“It’s alright, just don’t have stuff you don’t know! Oh and I couldn't ask you this but how is the pillow?” She then loosened up and looked back at it.

“Are you kidding me! It’s awesome! How do you humans have the best stuff?”

“Well it might be that we are just smarter than you.” We both gave each other a sticking tongue out face. I then get up and go to make another burger.

“Haha! I swear you are obsessed with these!”

“Hey man! You people just make good food!”

“What's the tattoo on your butt.” In the corner of my eye I saw her froze and blush. Classic Dash…
