>You awake to light pouring through the blinds of your window.
>As you open your eyes, you roll over on your bed and put your arm around your little furry buddy.
>Your bat pony to be exact.
"Hey, wake up sleepy head."
>Groaning, the bat pony rolls over.
>"Give me five more minutes."
>You tousle her hair as you climb out of bed and head over to your bathroom to shower.
>After finishing, you put on some fresh clothes and walk back into the bedroom to be greeted by a bat pony spread out over your bed.
"Come on, get up. We got stuff to do today."
>Picking her head up off of the pillows, she looks up at you with her blue eyes.
>"Can I have five more minutes?"
"You said five more minutes..."
>You look over to the clock to see it's 8:21.
"fifteen minutes ago, now get up."
>With a groan, the bat pony drops her back onto the bed.
>Heading downstairs, you turn into your kitchen to make your breakfast.
>You start cooking bacon as you hear footsteps coming down the stairs.
>Entering the room, the bat pony lifts herself onto a seat at the table as you walk over with a plate full of bacon.
>As a grin spreads across the her face, you walk over to the fridge to get some milk.
>Turning around, you see your bat pony stuffing her face with bacon, getting grease all over her coat.
>You sigh, as you pour two glasses of milk and set them down on the table.
"You really need to learn to eat without getting stuff all over your coat.
>The bat pony picks up her glass of milk and drinks it as she giggles getting more milk on her fur.
>At least it didn't show up of her white coat, unlike the grease.
>After finishing breakfast, you head over to some hangers on the wall where your coat sits.
>"Why isn't don't you just have a coat like mine, then you'd never get cold."
>Turning around, you look down to see your little pony.
>With a smile, you tousle her mane.
"Because I'm a human of course!"
>Looking over at your clock on the wall, you see you're late for work.
"I have to go now. You know how to make your own food, right?"
>"We go over this everyday. Yes, I do!"
>With a chuckle, you walk out the door and make your daily commute to work.
>Pulling into the parking lot, you get out of your car and walk into the office building.
>As you walk up the door, you say hello to some familiar faces.
>Finally reaching your desk, you sit down and begin working on your computer.
>You did some serious stuff here, but it doesn't help that your mind always wandered back to your bat pony.
>"Anon, could I see you in my office?"
>Snapping out of your thoughts, you look around till you see your boss standing next to you.
"Oh, um, yes sir!"
>"Good, come in as soon as you can."
>You continue your work for about five more minutes until you leave your desk and head over to your boss' office.
>Opening the door, you look inside.
"You wanted to see me sir?"
>"Why yes, Mr. Anonymous. Take a seat."
>Doing as he told you, you sit in a chair across from his desk.
>"Anon, as you know, our company has been having some rough times recently."
>Why would he want to talk to you about this?
"Yes sir, I do. What about it?"
>"Well, in this rough time, I'm afraid we have been having to lay off some people."
>Was he saying what you thought he was?
"A-are you firing me, sir?"
>Running his fingers through his hair, your boss sighs.
>"It's just you haven't been that focused lately and have been distracted a lot. It's costing us more money to have you than it makes us. Best clean out your desk and take your things home, we'll send you your paycheck in the mail."
>You don't say a single word as you stand up.
>Nor when you clean out your desk, or walk out of the building.
>You remain silent the entire time as your mind rages about how you just lost the job you had went through four years of college to get.
>You actually enjoyed your job.
>That's something lots of poeple can't say.
>Seeing a bright light, you swerve out of the way of another car.
>That's enough thinking. Just focus on driving, unless you want to get yourself killed.
>Arriving at your house, you pause for a second as the garage door closes behind you.
>You didn't have to remove that key.
>What were you thinking!?
>You have a little bat pony waiting for you!
>Turning off the engine, you step out of your car and into your house.
>You wear a fake smile as you greet your little bat pony.
>She gets so excited every time you get home.
>Hugging her, you run your fingers through her mane.
"We best make something to eat."
>As the little bat pony rubs her belly, she looks up at you and smiles.
>"Yeah, I'm starving!"
>You begin cooking simple spaghetti as you think about what happened today.
>You'd have to tell your bat pony.
>Serving up the spaghetti, you and your bat pony both eat in silence as she shoves her face full of noodles.
>After you both finish eating, you take both of your plates and put them in your dishwasher.
>You might as well get this over with and tell her.
>Sitting on the couch, you motion for her to sit next to you?
>She takes note to the sad look on your face.
>"What's wrong Anon?"
>Feeling a lump in your throat, you look your bat pony in her bright blue eyes and run your fingers through her soft mane.
"Today, I was laid off from my job."
>"That's terrible! Um... What does laid off mean?"
>Chuckling to yourself, you can feel tears starting to form in your eyes.
"It means I was fired, and won't be making any money until I get a new job."
>A worried face spreads over you bat ponies face as she realizes what's happened.
>"Oh, Anon! That's terrible!"
"Don't worry, I can find a new job. At least I hope I can."
>Feeling something wrap around you, you look down to see your bat pony hugging you.
>"It's okay. I'm here for you."
>You can feel tears starting to fall from your eyes as you hold your little bat pony.
"I love you so much. I just...
>Choking on your own words, you feel tears pouring out of your eyes as you hold you little bat pony.
"I just wish your were real."
