((You are Cydia))   >That ride >That was so fun >Like nothing you have ever experienced >You stay hidden under the glovebox >You feel a cramp starting in your neck >This was a bad position to hide in >It wouldn't hurt to just lay in the seat for a little bit >You have no idea how long Anon is going to take >You pop back into the seat and take a look out the window briefly >Not a very nice neighbourhood >Colourful in character and originality, but grey and disdainful in scenery and inhabitants >An unsavoury man walks up to the car >You squeak and pull back from the window >He stares at you, and smiles a rather cryptic half-toothless smile >You have no idea what to do at this moment >He can't do anything to you through the window right? >You whip out your long tongue and lick the window >The man makes a disturbed sound and walks away from the car >Anon comes out of the restaurant with a bag of food >He sees you >He glares >Anon puts the food in the back of the car and gets in the car >"Cydia, I told you to hide under there, I can't take you anywhere anymore." >You couldn't help but whimper and cry at him "But Anon... My neck started to hurt!" >"Cydia, I haven't even known you for a day and I am letting you tons of stuff with me." >You stare at him >"I don't why you're here or how you even got here, but I know that I will care for you, but you gotta listen to me." "I'm so sorry Anon..." >This feeling, what is it >It's not sadness you are feeling >You climb on Anon and lean in to kiss him >You barely touch him and you feel a hand shove you hard back into the passenger seat >You've done it now... >What is wrong with you >He's just a friendly guy helping you >You stare at him again, this time in shock, and regret >He starts the car and cruises home >No music, no speaking >When you arrive, he still doesn't say a word >You trail him into the house "Anon, I'm sorry" >"Cydia, when I was a little kid, my parents always told me to let bugs go." >The words cut like a knife >What have you done... >"For a different reason, mind you, but I don't want to let something as unique as you go." >You tremble as he drops the food on the table and walks towards you >He reaches out his hand >It's over, you blew it, he's tossing you out >The hand reaches under your neck and... starts giving you a gentle scratch? >You're confused, but you feel yourself relax again >He cracks a small smile >"I'm not letting you go, okay? Just, no more of that. You scared me." >Scared him? He's afraid of a little love? >No, you aren't going to question it >You're lucky the ice you broke froze over as fast as it did >Anon guides you to the table and shows you the food he bought >You move your antennae all over the bag and containers >The Chinese food smelled amazing   ((You are Anon))   >Why not just look past it as a mistake? >It never happened and you two never need to worry again >It's time to eat anyway >Mostly everything you got was vegetarian >She eats a mix of moth food and pony food >It shouldn't be hard caring for her knowing this >After about an hour of 'fine dining' and watching TV... >"Anon! I- It's getting dark!" "Okay? what do you need me to do?" >"I'm sorry Anon, I'm going to change." "Oh right... that." >"I'll be back to moth pony by sunrise, alright Anon?" "O-Okay." >"Keep me somewhere safe." "Alright..." >"Please don't accidentally squish me." She said with a whimper "Don't worry Cydia, I'll make sure your a hundred percent safe." >You hug her to calm her down >Her breaths quickened >"I'll talk to you soon, Anon." She said sadly >She quivered and with a poof of dust, in your hand now was moth about the size of a lemon >You watched as the last bit of sun disappeared over the skyscrapers and mountains of Vancouver >She sat in your hand patiently, wings slightly twitching >You walk into your room >She takes off and lands on a pillow on your bed >She pushes her wings in and sits stationary >You go to wash up and come back to find her still there >You can't tell if she is asleep >She's a moth >You crawl into bed and lay next to her "Well, goodnight Cydia. I don't know if you can hear me right now but... I think I can truly call you a good friend now. So uh, yeah, goodnight." >And with that, you shut your eyes and drift to sleep, anticipating and hoping that she'll be in moth pony form soon
