“Good girl, Neko!” Today was Thursday, four days after you’ve obtained Neko as your new pet. Since then she was growing a little bit day by day, to the point where she can’t even balance on your shoulder anymore.

You have been training Neko since then, and she’s learning things really fast as well. By now, she was already house trained, and she’s learned at least five tricks by now. She was as healthy as ever, and it was about time to turn her over to Dash next door, who has yet to know about your white tiger companion.

You were about to go to Animegacon in a few days, you already had your cosplay costume and everything ready and set to go, too bad airport security wouldn’t let Neko go with you. Asides that, you’ve been trying your hardest to keep the others from finding out about Neko, because if they did find out, they would freak out. As a worst case scenario they would call animal control to take her away.

“Alright girl, take a break for a little bit, I have to let your babysitter actually know about you.” You said with an enthusiastic expression, just imagining the look on her face.

Neko was very obedient for a white tiger, she does what she’s told, and she just adores you. However, there are those times when she causes mischief for you when you sleep. One time, you woke up with tiger butt in your face, no one likes tiger butt in face. On a side note it was a good thing you gave her a bath, because otherwise Neko would’ve smelled horrible.

You make your way to Rainbow’s dorm, which was about five feet from your door, and knock on the door. You were met by Pinkie, who was wearing a fox mask... at this point you don’t even want to know.

“Hey, what’s up? I haven’t seen you for awhile!”

“Yeah, I’ve had some things going on, I was really busy. Is RD here?”

“Yeah, but she’s asleep. I can wake her up if you want me to?”

“Please.” Pinkie went back into her dorm, after a few hitting sound effects you could hear Rainbow wake up in a very grumpy mood.

“What the hell do you want?! I’m trying to sleep here, dammit!” Yup, she was very cranky.

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“What makes you think I’ll do it?”

“Since I paid for your lunch the other day, and if you want free lunch ever again, you’ll do as you’re told.”

“Ugh, fine.” She complied without hesitation; sometimes using food in an argument was the best way to bring out motivation to do something.

As soon as you open the door you were met by Neko, who clung to your shirt with her cat claws, digging into your chest. You cringed in pain, but nothing a little disinfectant and a few bandages couldn’t fix.

“Uh, did a white tiger just cling to your shirt?” Rainbow asked.

“Yeah, don’t try this at home.” You say humorously, but Rainbow was still in a confused, dazed-like state.

“Is this what you wanted to show me?”

“Yeah. This is Neko, Neko, this is Rainbow Dash, be good to her.” Neko had her claws out, you could see the obvious hatred Neko had towards Rainbow, but you decided to play the role as the unsuspecting client.

“I need you to take care of her while I’m gone in Las Vegas, you think you can do it?”

“Of course I can! If anything, I’m the most reliable person on campus!”

“Say that to your multiple missing Science projects.” You mumbled, snickering at the fact that Rainbow may or may not be failing Science.

“Shut your face!” She retorted, crouching down to pet Neko.

As a response Neko tried to claw Rainbow’s hand, causing Rainbow to withdraw her hand. You couldn’t help but laugh as you knew Neko truly hated Rainbow, and there was no use denying that fact either, Neko hated her guts. She is a cat after all, they hate anything and everything.

“Anyways, I’m gonna be going to Las Vegas in a day, so I’m gonna go do some errands.”

You gave Rainbow that list you mentioned to Fluttershy earlier in the week, and grabbed your backpack on your way out the door. As soon as you walked out your door, someone had enough confidence or stupidity to bump into you, much to your confusion. You managed to knock her to the ground, where you heard a loud thump on impact.

“Owwy, I hurt my tush.” You look down and find a teenage purple haired girl on the ground, managing to pull off a face that looked like this: “>.<”

“Are you okay ma’am?” You asked, helping the girl up in the process,

“Yessiree-do! I should really watch where I’m going, I could’ve died.” She said, spacing out again. You didn’t really know who she was, or where she came from, all you know about her is that she isn’t bright, and she has purple hair.

“Oh, I gotta go! I’m gonna be late!” She pushed you out of the way, running down the hallway she came from.

You obviously had no idea who it was, nor did you care, it’s not like she came from another dimension or anything. You cancelled your train of thought and went straight for the parking lot, your luggage was already inside the trunk of your car.

You looked over your dashboard and saw Neko and Rainbow through the window of your dorm room, and Neko was practically ripping the place apart. The good thing was that you stashed away your valuables with Luna, who said that she would gladly take care of them while you were gone. Even though she was one of those gamers with practically no free time to be doing other things, she took good care of her hardware.

“Alright, let’s get to the airport!”

Your first time at a convention was a complete success, and you had no regrets whatsoever. You looked forward to seeing Neko again, she probably missed you while you were away. The only problem is that you didn’t know what state your room was in, whether it looks like a tornado hit, or it’s squeaky clean.

“I’m home!” You said as you burst through the door.

“Welcome back, you asshole.” Rainbow had bags under her eyes, and she looked exhausted. On the other hand Neko looked completely fine, napping over in the corner of the room.

“It’s good to see you, too. What happened while I was gone?”

“For starters, your pet tiger tried to kill me about a gajillion times, and your fridge ran out of food just a couple of hours ago!” Now that was a whole different take on “Raiding the fridge.”

“Well, it’s not like your services are gonna go unpaid, here’s your cut.” You tossed her a stack of twenty dollar bills, banded together with a thick blue rubber band. Her eyes gleamed with happiness, and you could tell that she wasn’t going to invest in it wisely.

You go over to the corner and pet Neko on the head. While you were gone she seemed to have gotten longer and bigger in size, too big for you to perch her on your shoulder anymore. She licked your hand as you crouch down to hug her, and she felt like a big fuzzy stuffed animal.

“I missed you girl, I’m gonna make sure you get something good to eat tonight.” You were thinking a big slab of steak for her, and maybe like some ramen for yourself.

You stashed your suitcase in the closet for you to sort out later, and you sprawled across your bed, which was super cold since you haven’t used it in forever, an added bonus. You were flat out bummed out from driving from the airport, it was like a two hour trip just to get over there, and you didn’t even want to think about the plane ride.

You were almost half asleep until you heard the door swing open, you quickly got out of bed and saw that Applejack came into your room.

“Rainbow would you keep in down I’m tryna-” She stopped when she spotted Neko on the floor beside you, and she looked grumpy. Applejack slowly closed the door shut and went away. You couldn’t help but to laugh as you praise your white tiger. Neko was a good guardian when you were out of the house, not to mention a vicious one at that.
