Anon is Fired

>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."
