Green FN, Blue Dream and Deep Rest Make a Wawa Run

 

*"Look, Hector almost hit his nasty flank,"*

 

*"HEY SMOKEY!"*

 

*"Fuck you!"*

 

"Drink!"

 

Deep Rest took a pull off the handle of mango wine and extended her hoof to the right, Blue Dream leaning over to accept it.

 

*"So you finally decided to smoke with the big colts huh?"*

 

*"You ain't showin me nothin' new zigga!*

 

*"Shut up and take your hit."*

 

*"Smoke dawg baby, remember that shit. Smokin since I was two."

 

The character known as Smokey took a puff on Blue Dream's boxy TV Screen.

 

*"HEYHEYHEY take it easy holmes!"*

 

*"I KNOW what im DOIN mare!"*

 

"That's a lie!" Blue Dream called out and took a pull, extending her right hoof out to pass it along. Green FN, lazily melted over the side of the couch, took the handle in her hoof and rested it on her leg. There was only one hearty swig left.

 

All 3 mares watched Smokey's humorous flashback play out, in which the young zebra smoked a laced blunt and felt the effects of dragon eggs. Amidst stumbling behind his friends laughing their flanks off, it cut to him caged up in a chicken coop, swatting his coat and cowering in paranoia around the cawking chickens,

 

*"So... I'm in Z-Bo's chicken coop sweating like an Apple..."

 

"Mentioned Z-Bo!" Green called out and took a pull. Feeling how little was left, she tilted the bottom straight up and polished the handle off. Once she glugged down the last drop, Green let out a nice 'ahhhhh,'

 

"Hold up Green you polished it off?" Blue Dream observed. Green nodded,

 

"Luna-DAMN Greenie!" Deep Rest tacked on,

 

"Think you're the yuppie boss comin' in here and drinkin' all my booze?" Blue Dream called out in a jeering, playful way,

 

"We can't take you anywhere cuz youll polish the whole bar off!" Deep Rest kept the ping pong of roasts going. Green was all giggles,

 

"Great!" Blue Dream threw her hoof up and down exaserbated, "Now we gotta make a Wawa run!"

 

"If Green can fly in a straight line after half a handle!"

 

"You wanna bet?" Green finally spoke up mid laugh,

 

"Yeah filly, lets see how fast you get us a FUI!" Deep Rest stood up, starting to pace with her seemingly endless energy

 

"Alright fuck it!"

 

"Yeah, let's fly" Blue Dream made the agreement unanimous. Deep Rest had gathered her stuff in a split second and started toward the door,

 

"Like any cop ponies come out to these parts," Green commented, filing behind Blue Dream who lazily mozied next to her grey friend,

 

"Oh they'll get your highlighter flank out here" Blue Dream jeered before stopping up, both bats looking back to Green, "got everything?" Bluey asked. Green nodded with a smile and tapped her front hoodie pocket. Both of them gave a deep nod and the trio took flight from the balcony.

"...I thought he was just zooted until I saw it on the news the next day" Deep Rest finished her thought,

 

"Yeah that was in-sane, big ole' plume of smoke like *poomf*" blue dream said with only the slightest inflection, sticking her hoof out towards the direction of the incident,

 

"Ain't the first one to blow up their spot making..."

 

"Yeah my Marefriend helped tear down a cabin during a woods party..." green trailed off as she noticed-

 

"Hey. Hey dreamie. Hey." Deep Rest nudged her friend joshingly as the three flew in a triangle, acting like green wasn't there and she had groundbreaking news to share. Blue Dream smirked as green watched with a cocked head, "Hey. Hey Blue Dream. Hey. Hey. Did you know Green has a marefriend? Hey did you know that? Huh? Huh?..."

 

"Oh my Luna..." Green facehoofed once she got the joke but couldn't help but laugh along,

 

"I have a COLTfriend too he just goes to another school!" Green mockingly whined, playing along. Deep Rest gave her the side eye grin of approval and kept poking,

 

"Hey. Did you know she likes mares? Did you know she's dating one?" her shoves got harder, purposely trying to throw blue dream off balance, their laughs getting more intense until they took over,

 

"hahahaANYWAY so they were like out in the middle of nowhere and apparently this one colt was so tilted off 2 ciders, and he was the 'oH mY pArEnTs GiVe Me WhIsKeY aLl ThE tImE' type but he was so zonked and stumbling around that next thing you know he bumps into a fragile beam and tears down a hundred year old house for their graduation party,"

 

"They ever fix it?" Blue Dream asked,

 

"Nope, still sitting there in the middle of the river island. No explosion though,"

 

"R-Mez." Blue steered her attention to Deep Rest lighting a cigarette mid flight. Deep Rest pondered for a second then shook her head with disgust,

 

"OHHH my Luna. R-Mez." she said around her cig, finally getting a puff,

 

"Whos R-Mez?-"

 

"-that fucking idiot." Deep finished her thought then turned her head back to the youngest, "you know how we were talking about meth lab explosions?" Green nodded, "So this fucking genius believed somepony when they said if you fill a room with bong smoke and hairspray then light a match you could get twice the high. Blew a huge Celestia-damn hole in his bedroom and knocked out our water for three days"

 

"Holy SHIT!" green exclaimed at the lore drop as Blue Dream shook her head in disapproval, remembering living through that, "is he like, alive!?"

 

"Oh yeah! Still lives there, right next to us." Deep said like it was obvious, "when we get back to Dreamie's pay attention to the bricks, you'll see a big spot where they're a different shade of red and the rest are normal." Deep Rest finished her exposition, "that was what like, 6 years ago?" she asked Blue Dream,

 

"Definitely before Mama Sonar moved out, 'tart, probably seven" Blue commented, taking Deep Rests cig and getting a puff herself,

 

"Hold up." Green said but didn't actually stop flying, "you mares share your cigarettes?"

 

"Yeah." Blue Dream said in the same 'duh' tone, with a bit more of a leering look, "weve been friends for ages, we went to Lucky Roll Elementary together"

 

Green knew that was deep in the hood, and was silenced by the pure mogging,

 

"You remember how the middle schoolers would try to sell you pills pretending they were candy? Good times..." Deep Rest reminisced, and Blue Dream scoffed. Green was so confused, but with one more turn, the beige building and tall sign with a red bird appeared on the edge of the block. On the ground, groups of ponies made their way toward the famous late night stop known as Wawa. As the three mares started their descent, green pulled up her hood and tried to put on her meanest mug.

 

--

 

*shhhhhhhwip clack*

 

Blue Dream walked purposely into the wawa with Deep Rest on her left flank and Green FN on her right, the younger of the two scanning the space through lowered eyes under her hood. Couples of batponies and zebras conversed and bullshitted with each other as the three mares split off onto 3 check in counters. Green instinctively tapped her order in and printed her ticket, then went over to bother Blue Dream,

 

"Whattya want, funks?"

 

"I got it, you got the next round" Bluey brushed her friend off. Green was pretty sure she said that last time, but let it go. Deep Rest found her way to Green's right as they both sauntered across the store over to the checkout and cigarette counter, worming their way through the hungry ponies chattering to each other along the far wall. In passing, green caught the words "fuckin' dyke" leave-

 

"The TARTARUS you just call her!?" Deep Rest stopped dead in her tracks. Green was hopelessly pulled in and tried to de-escalate with a hoof on her friend's shoulder,

 

"Chill out Deep it wasn't about-"

 

"I called her the fuckin' dyke she is Zigga fuckyu' gon' do?"

 

"BITCH I WILL SUCK YOUR FUCKING EYEBALLS OUT-" DeepRest's front hooves started throwing her front hooves,

 

"FUCK YOU GONNA DO CRAZY BAT CUNT..."

 

Green tried to get a couple hooves around and pull her back, but it was no match for her bat friend's blind rage. A small radius of ponies stopped their conversation to watch and clear a ring. Insults, expletives, and accusations shot through the air at each other as Deep Rest cornered this male bat against a counter, knocking a napkin thing off the far side. Shrill, full fanged hisses kept firing out of her mouth, her combatant unable to swing from how he was pinned. Finally, with a quick jerk of the head alongside a slash,

 

"OH FUCK!" his voice rose two octaves as he gripped his snoot in his batwing, wincing in pain,

 

"That's what I THOUGHT, DEADBEAT PIECE OF SHIT!" Deep Rest snapped in his face and jerked back around, the deadly look in her eyes keeping Green frozen in her tracks. as the adrenaline wore off, everypony started chattering to each other like nothing had happened, two or three pulling their cell phones away to watch the film they just obtained. Green tried to get up close to Deep Rest, still with murder in her pupils,

 

"What was that!?" she hushedly asked-

 

"Don't worry about it." deep rest shot straight into Green's snowpity. Green recoiled with doe eyes, any semblance of a hard frame gone. The two mares wordlessly checked out with a palpable aura of tension, Blue Dream restocking on cigarettes like she had come in alone. As they reunited along the windows, green tried to get back in her friend's ear. before she could even get a word out, "That's one of my baby daddies. Fucking hate him." the only details Green would get. the two of them found a spot on the edge of the chattering crowds, then stood wordlessly waiting for their number to be called.

 

Blue Dream finally made it a trio, with a shaking-my-damn-head look on her face and a saddlebag of mango wine on her back. There wasn't anything to ask, the whole story was right there in the middle of the Wawa. Green desperately wanted to lighten the room with some sort of dumb comment, but knew she just had to ride out every tense moment until Deep Rest cooled off,

 

"Did you get the-" blue dream started until

 

"fivetwelvenfivethirteenmangosmooth-" the mic cut out in the middle of the rushed announcement. Blue Dream dropped the thought started to casually walk over, Green being the other number called. The loser of the fight hid against the wall, avoiding eye contact with the two mares. Green FN and Blue Dream picked up their bounties by the wing, starting to shlorp down their drinks on the way back to the third friend on the opposite side. Now the three of them were back to wordlessly waiting for their food, but two of them had the taste of mango in their snoots. Green's thoughts wandered, finally off of the altercation she witnessed.

 

A soothing hoof on green's shoulder brought her back to reality. turning her body to address it, she was surprised to see it was from Deep Rest, with a warm, inviting expression Green hadn't seen in ages. Green felt herself submit to the mush,

 

"Is it yummy?" Deep Rest genuinely asked her in a buttery caring tone. Green nodded gleefully like a little filly under her hood, hypnotized. Blue Dream's hoof tapped the side of her grey bat friend to get her attention, snapping Green out of her trance,

 

"Apparently OGee Kush moved out to Baltimare,"

 

"Really? Damn." Deep Rest said in her normal snappy cadance, as if nothing had happened 5 seconds ago. it wasnt the first time a snapshot moment like this happened, and it was always too sudden for green to capitalize and ask her why she did it. How deep rest, so chaotically witty and wicked, could turn on a dime and hit that one particular heartstring exactly when Green needed it. So caring, so nurturing, so... motherly. Does she know? One day green's gonna catch her and ask her what's up with that, but for now she's only got her undying vow to fiercely protect her, even against things that weren't even threats in the first place.
