It's all Butterflies and Rainbows

When he moved to hold her, the sobs increased in intensity but only for a moment. As soon as it happened, a bitter show of support came from Hemlock through the bond in their minds. The little owl whispered two words to her “Be stwong.” Yes, yes! She had to stop this crying or she never would! What was she crying about anyway, this had been her decision. Aly gave herself five more seconds, her face buried into Mikey’s skin as she allowed herself to take comfort in his touch.

This was going to be a good thing. Most of what she said, what she would say from here on out, was true, anyway. She just felt that way about all of her friends. Why was Mikey the only one dissatisfied with her friendship? Why had it meant so little to him?

She took strength from those little truths scattered in the lie. Things wouldn’t be all that different now, would they? They had often spent time together before, close and grooming each other absently as they chatted – sleeping side by side.

And… maybe if there was a foal it would tie them together further. Maybe parenthood could smooth over the bumps in their lives.

A sigh from the black and white pegasus as she breathes deep the comforting scent of her friend, steadying herself further. When she finds her voice again, it is still whisper-soft but this time it does not shake. Well, not as much. “I want to make it up to you, make up the time we lost because I was a fool.” Was she too good at this? Too good at spinning these half-truths. If this charade was ever exposed, she did not know if she had a place in the peaceful Edge any longer. Surely Kahlua would be so disappointed in her if she knew!

But it was for the best, she believed that with all of her soul.

“Do you… do you think we can have a new start? The two of us… the beginning of a family.” She is hesitant, glad for their proximity because she is worried about how he will react to this suggestion, though there’s a smile in her voice – giving it a dreamlike feel. The eternal longing in her heart to be a mother tears at her now and she can see it so clearly: the two of them, bound forever by the love of the child that they could share.

The dreams she had had about a family with Voodoo, of a girl with maroon eyes and white wings, feel lost to her now. For while she was certainly capable of loving more than one other at the same time, she did not trust that polygamy on her part would be so easily accepted by the one she pressed her muzzle into now. She’d have to keep this up. At least here, at least in the Edge.

Alysanne felt so protective of Mikey. She needed to protect him from herself because she had caused him too much pain already in their friendship. Had he not given her everything and she had given nothing in return?

Surely this gift would be enough.

Notes;; omg please forgive all the bouncing around of the different tenses I just wanted to get it up <3
