pony and the hikikomori

>be 4 years ago

>go to cosco

>"accidently" slip in a puddle and hurt my back

>5 months of wearing a back-brace later and I never have to work again, 10 thousand dollars a month for the rest of my life is a pretty good deal

>it was 2 years after that when the ponies came. No one really understood it at the time, apperantly it had something to do with CERN and some secret side project they'd been working on.

>long story short string-theory is right and it takes surprisingly little force to bring to branes together

in issolated spots, especially when beings on the other side or working toward the same goal

>didn't really affect me though, after the settlement I hadn't left your apartment.

>in that 4 years you'd lost contact with most of my old friends, gained two hundred pounds, and aquired an unhealthy ammount of bladed weapons.

>life was pretty good bro, I had an agreement with my roommate, I give him the money and he'd buy any groceries on my list, and a hefty tip ensured my laudry was delivered and returned every week.

>remove a few showers and and some piss bottles and I'd be living the dream.

>that was until last week anyway.

 

>Jon and I had never been terribly close, we talked occasionally, hard not to when you live with someone, but I was still surprised when he informed of his intention to return to college.

>I was even more shocked when I learned he'd already been accepted to an out of state college and would be moving out within the week.

>I almost fainted when he informed me that he'd already made preperations for someone to move in and take over his half of the lease, and that it was a female to top it off.

>As you can obviously tell I'm not the biggest fan of change, quite frankly I can't stand it.

>You don't stay in your home for 4 years straight without having an affinity for familiarity.

>But I could handle this, Jon wasn't the first roommate I'd ever had, and I was sure the next wouldn't be the last.

>Jon couldn't, or wouldn't, tell me much about this girl. All I could get out of him was that she was new in town and that she'd been staying with another friend while looking for an apartment of her own, which is why Jon had decided to rush his own departure.

>and that brings us up to today I think.

>Here I am, sitting in my room wasting time on 4chan waiting for her to arrive, might post a thread about this on /r9k/ later, I'm certain to drop my spaghetti everywhere.

 

>After spending what seems like days lurking the 4chans I finally hear the almost deafening sound of someone knocking on my door

>Quickly closing my browser and turning off my monitor I rush toward the door to greet my new flatmate.

>freshly showered and dressed I like to think I'll make a good impression

>reaching for the handle I mentally steel myself, there is a girl there, something I haven't seen in person in years, what if she's cute? How could I deal with that, will my life become like three's company? Will I be able to become like jack and be able to live with that sexual tension? Would it be better just to pretend to be gay? That might work, but what I fall for her?

>Another knock brings me back to reality.

>I quickly open the door and what I find is not quite what I was expecting

>It's a girl alright, and I'm sure people would call her cute

>The is standing there looking a bit shocked, her hoof raised ready to knock once more.

>we stand there for quite a bit just Staring at each other before she slowly lowers her hoof and speaks up

"Uhm, hi, my name's Honeydew"
