“Toast, toast, toast, toast.” I chanted out as I was waiting for my toast to come out of the toaster, “Damn I’m hungry.”

“She said she was sorry.” A voice said from behind me.

I just remained quiet and ignored her. “Maybe if I pretend shes not there, she will go away.” I said loudly. “Take the damn clue!”

“I can hear you, why do you talk to yourself when I have good news for you?” Chrysalis asked.  “I guess you don't want to go back home.”

“So, about going home...” I said spinning around. “What about it?”

“No no no.” She said, waving her hoof. “You aren't there, I should just go.” She said starting to walk away.

“Okay fine, I’m here so now what?” I said annoyed. “I don’t have time for these games, my toasts are soon getting burnt.”

“I found a spell that could possible bring you back to your own world, but for some reason it only works at night, and when your sleeping...” Chrysalis said, turning back around.

“It does?” I asked, “But... Wait, did you send me back when I was sleeping?”

“I didn't send you back at all yet.” chrysalis said a little confused.

“Huh, okay..”  I said being confused too.

“Anyway, i'll cast the spell later, I am busy right now.” Chrysalis said, changing into Spotless.

“Right....” I muttered as I turned back to my toast, which was somehow not burnt. Spotless walked out the front door and I heard Bridget land a minute later on the balcony.  She didn't talk to me, she just walked into her room, leaving the door open and lied in her cloud bed, under the covers, head first, leaving her tail on the pillow.

I just walked in and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Leave me alone.” Came her muffled reply.

“Why?” I asked, sitting down in the room.

“Just leave me alone.” She said, pulling her tail under.

“Oh come now, don’t be that way.”

“Then you don’t be that way.” She said back. I just sat there quiet for a while, trying to think out what she meant, before settling with a, “Huh?”

“Just leave me alone.” She said quietly.

“Look, what’s bothering you?” I asked in a soft toned voice.

“Right now, you’re bothering me.” She said angrily.

“Yeah, like you didn’t do that yesterday.” I said rolling my eyes.

“I said I was sorry, you didn't take it, you’re still angry at me, why are you talking to me?” She said. I saw some movement under the covers I assumed she was moving her hooves up to her ears.

I just sat there, doing nothing basically, so I got up walked out and sat down on the couch. “Okay, be that way.”

“I'm sorry...” I heard her whisper. She sounded like she was about to cry.

“What the fuck is wrong now?” I muttered to myself as I got up and walked into her room. “You okay there?” She started crawling out of the covers, her flanks first, when she got her head out she looked at me.

“I’m sorry I almost made you deaf, I just want to go home sometimes.” She replied, sitting down.

I just stood there still quiet, before saying, “Come here.” and waving her over. She jumped off the bed and walked over to me.

I just hugged her, and said. “I do too, I miss home, I miss a lot of things.... But I still got you.” She hugged me tighter and then let go.

“Thanks.” She said, smiling.

“No problemo.” I said, as I got up and walked out of the room, before looking around. “There is nothing to do.”

“Charades.” Bridget replied, walking after me.

I just looked at our front door, before saying. “Nope!” then running towards it, opening it and randomly running down a hallway, before turning around running back inside our room and fetching the money pouch, then running back out. Bridget caught up to me and picked my up again, flying back into our room.

“I was kidding.” She said, aggravated.

“B-But.... I was actually gonna buy supplies.” I said with puppy eyes.

“I finally get to meet your lover, who you always seem to get rid of whenever I want to visit.” Chrysalis said, appearing behind Bridget.

“What?” Bridget asked confused, looking behind her.

“Well, fuck you too Chry... Whatever your name is.” I said.

“Would you like too?” She asked.

“Figure of speech.” I said, shaking my head.

“I know, and the name is Chrysalis, like a cocoon for butterflies or changelings.”  She informed me.

“Ok...lover?” Bridget asked, turning to look at me.

“Eh.... Yeah... About that...” I said looking at Bridget. “I have no clue what she’s talking about.”

“Whatever, hello Chrysalis.” Bridget said, bringing her hoof up to wake at the changeling.

“I assume that Jay here has already told you about what I said to him.”

“No, he hasn't actually.” Bridget said, turning to look at me with a raised eyebrow.

“They all assume we are together.” I said quickly.

“How amusing, you haven't told her the great news yet.” Chrysalis laughed

“What in the what now?” I asked. Chrysalis sighed.

“You forget things so easily...” She shook her head. “You forgot I could bring you home?” She asked.

“You can!?” Bridget said jumping up. “Do it now!” She yelled.

“I can't do it now, it only works at night when your sleeping, lousy counterspell.” Chrysalis muttered.

“Thats stupid...” Bridget said, sitting back down next to me.

“Yes it is, Jay, stop looking at Bridget’s wings.” Chrysalis said. Bridget looked at her folded wings then looked at me, questioningly, not understanding why I was looking at them.

“Ze wings, Zey are amazing!” I exclaimed, looking at her wings.

“You’re weird.” Bridget said.

“I’m weird? You are weird!” I said back, looking away. “I give you a compliment and you say I’m weird, sheesh people nowadays.”

“You already knew I had wings and you decided to exclaim in a french accent that they are amazing, thats a whole new kind of weird.” Bridget countered, smiling.

“Da, but-...” I started.

“Fighting like an old married couple, are you sure she isn't your lover?” Chrysalis asked.

“Well, she did have sex with me on that couch.” I just said pointing at the couch.

“No we didn't, I was joking with you.” Bridget said.

“Really?” I said with a smile. “Bridget is just shy, she would never admit such a thing.”

“You really like to fight about sex don't you.” Chrysalis said, unamused and a little impatient

“Maybe, anyhow. Get on with whatever you were going to say.” I said, before stifling a yawn.

“I already finished explaining.” She said.

“Oh right.” I said again.

“Enjoy the rest of your day, I will come back tonight.” Chrysalis said, then vanished into a puff of green smoke.

“Bye...” Bridget said, a little late. I just looked at her, and tilting my head with a questionable glance.

“Why are your wings, so.... Eh.... Majestic?” I asked.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Bridget asked, looking at me.

“I have ninety nine problems, but wings ain’t one.” I said getting up, with a huge smile.

“Why are you suddenly complimenting my wings I mean.” She clarified, standing up.

“Because uhm.... I don’t know? I felt like it I guess it.” I said, shrugging.

“Fine.” Bridget said, walking over to the balcony door, opening it and walking out onto the balcony.

“You are just gonna leave me here?” I asked sadly.

“I’m not going anywhere, i'm just standing on the balcony.” She said, looking out at the houses and ponies below.

“Really? Can I join?” I asked.

“I can’t stop you from doing anything.” She said sitting down. I just walked over and nuzzled her. She let me.

“Why do you think I’m so soft?” She suddenly asked.

“Because... Your fur is awesome.” I said.

“No it isn't.” She said.

“Yeah it is.” I said as I continued to nuzzle her.

“Yours is too.” She said leaning on me.

“If you wouldn’t mind, can we um... Sit like this for awhile?” I asked.

“Why?” She asked nuzzling me.

“Because... I like it.” I said, as I leaned against her.

“Sure.” She said, opening her wings to put them around us to keep us warm.

                                                                                ***Bridget***

Me and Jay stayed on the balcony until the sun started to set, then I got up and walked back into the room.  Jay just walked towards his room after entering. I walked into his room after him and hugged him.

“I love sunsets.” I told him, letting him go.

“I love y-... them too.” Jay said.

“Its almost time to go home.” I said happily, trotting into the living room to wait for the queen.

“Yeah... Back to my room of isolation, and video games.” Jay said following me, with a smile.

“Isolation is my friend.” I said jumping onto the couch and lying down.

“Really? So, I guess I’m a part of your isolation then?” Jay said sounding amused.

“I don't know.” I admitted, laughing. Jay just climbed up on the couch and laid down on the other side.

“Well, video games are the best.” Jay said. “And not to mention music.”

“You're right, can’t wait to play Minecraft again.” I replied, sitting up.

“What lovely conversation for two ponies to have about electronic devices that don't really matter.” Chrysalis said sarcastically as she appeared.

“Nice to see you too.” I said looking at her.

“Uh... Maybe its nice to see her....” Jay said.

“I have come like I promised!” Chrysalis proclaimed.

“Okay, that was taken out of context.... And kinky.” Jay said wiggling his eyebrows.

“Ignore him...” I said, facehoofing.

“I have been for awhile now.” The queen said walking over to us.

“This is so dirty in my head.” Jay said quietly and snickered to himself.

“Stop it.” I said turning to look at him.

“Want me to use the sleep spell on him first?” Chrysalis asked.

“Wait what?” Jay asked looking at me then at Chrysalis.

“Use it on me first.” I said. Her horn glowed and sent a green beam at me, making me sleep.

                                                                                       ***Jay***

Watching your friend get put to sleep by a spell is weird enough, but waiting for it to be your turn is something else.

“Would you like to wait before sleeping?” Chrysalis asked me.

“Uh..... Why would I do that?” I asked.

“So you can kiss her goodnight.” She said, pointing at Bridget’s sleeping form. I just looked at Bridget, and then back at Chrysalis, then back at Bridget before shrugging and walking over. I then kissed her on the cheek, just cause.

“You're ready now?” She asked, her horn glowing.

“Yeah...” I said. the beam hit me and I felt sleepiness overtake me darkness swallowing my world.
