  3. 3.
    >Day We’ll Learn Together.
  4. 4.
    >”What were you doing talking with my boyfriend?”
  5. 5.
    “I just-“
  6. 6.
    >File Nohtfound knocks the books out of your hand.
  7. 7.
    >They clatter loudly on the ground.
  8. 8.
    >”You’re a loser, Anon. And no one will ever like you.”
  9. 9.
    >File and her friends laugh.
  10. 10.
    >
  11. 11.
    >
  12. 12.
    >One year later.
  13. 13.
    >File was right.
  14. 14.
    >Despite your best efforts, you are still kissless and alone.
  15. 15.
    >Once you almost touched a boy’s hands.
  16. 16.
    >He was assigned to be your lab partner, and he didn’t hate you, so that was good.
  17. 17.
    >He tried to pass you some acid in a beaker.
  18. 18.
    >It was for some sort of experiment.
  19. 19.
    >You held out your hand with fingers outstretched, so they might accidentally brush his.
  20. 20.
    >It was going to be perfect.
  21. 21.
    >He probably wouldn’t even notice.
  22. 22.
    >Just as you almost touched him, he let go and you dropped the glass.
  23. 23.
    >It shattered loudly, and most of the others laughed.
  24. 24.
    >You ran off.
  25. 25.
    >It was too much.
  26. 26.
    >He didn’t want to talk to you after that.
  27. 27.
    >But, today is a new day.
  28. 28.
    >Mom and Dad waited until you enrolled in community college for next fall before leaving.
  29. 29.
    >Dad had finally retired from the military, and wanted to take a road trip for the summer before finding civilian work.
  30. 30.
    >Moving around a lot meant you never could make friends.
  31. 31.
    >Whenever you thought about taking a chance it was time to go.
  32. 32.
    >Maybe that’s why you’re so fucked.
  33. 33.
    >But that doesn’t matter.
  34. 34.
    >You finally have a pony.
  35. 35.
    >The pony has a blue mane and a yellow coat.
  36. 36.
    >He’s a unicorn.
  37. 37.
    >Also, he has a shooting star on his butt, so you think you’ll call him Comet.
  38. 38.
    “Sit.”
  39. 39.
    >He sits.
  40. 40.
    “Good boy.”
  41. 41.
    1/15
  42. 42.
    >You give him a small carrot.
  43. 43.
    >He munches on it quickly.
  44. 44.
    >You try to pet him, but he pulls away.
  45. 45.
    >That’s alright, he just needs time to get to know you.
  46. 46.
    “Now, speak.”
  47. 47.
    >Comet nickers.
  48. 48.
    “Good boy, Comet.”
  49. 49.
    >You give him another carrot.
  50. 50.
    >Now for what you’ve been waiting for.
  51. 51.
    >You take a few steps back.
  52. 52.
    “Come.”
  53. 53.
    >He gets up and trots toward you.
  54. 54.
    >You hold your hands up for a hug, but he stops just short of your reach.
  55. 55.
    “Come!”
  56. 56.
    >He taps a hoof on the wooden floor.
  57. 57.
    “No, come closer.”
  58. 58.
    >He looks around like he isn’t sure what to do.
  59. 59.
    >Comet nickers and taps his hooves.
  60. 60.
    >You take a step forward and he jumps back.
  61. 61.
    >Okay, so maybe he is just nervous.
  62. 62.
    >You can understand that, he’s still new to you.
  63. 63.
    “I have some toys for you.”
  64. 64.
    >His ears raise.
  65. 65.
    “Look!” You say as you hold up a squeaky carrot.
  66. 66.
    >It has a smiling face and rope arms.
  67. 67.
    >You squeeze it three times and Comet gets agitated.
  68. 68.
    >Is it too loud?
  69. 69.
    “Go get it.”
  70. 70.
    >You throw the toy across the room.
  71. 71.
    >He looks at it, before returning his gaze to you.
  72. 72.
    “No, Comet. Fetch.”
  73. 73.
    >You point at the toy, hoping he will understand.
  74. 74.
    >He magics it over and places it in front of you.
  75. 75.
    “No. You’re being bad. Fetch.”
  76. 76.
    >Again you throw it, but he doesn’t move to bring it back.
  77. 77.
    “You don’t like Mr. Carrot?”
  78. 78.
    >He taps a hoof.
  79. 79.
    “What about, Teddy?”
  80. 80.
    >You hold out your prized teddy bear.
  81. 81.
    >Teddy was good to you all these years.
  82. 82.
    >You might even say he is your only friend.
  83. 83.
    “You can play with him, if you want.”
  84. 84.
    >Slowly, so as not to startle him, you place the bear in front of Comet.
  85. 85.
    >He sniffs it cautiously before taking a step back.
  86. 86.
    “Play with Teddy.”
  87. 87.
    >You push your stuffed bear toward your pony with your foot.
  88. 88.
    >Comet uses his magic and lifts the bear.
  89. 89.
    >This is it.
  90. 90.
    >He’s finally going to love you.
  91. 91.
    >Comet swings the bear and throws it behind you.
  92. 92.
    2/15
  93. 93.
    >It hits the far wall and the stuffed animal lands face down.
  94. 94.
    “Don’t be mean to Teddy!”
  95. 95.
    >They told you to hit his nose if he is bad.
  96. 96.
    >You swipe your hand, and Comet neighs loudly.
  97. 97.
    >He runs to the far side of the room.
  98. 98.
    “That’s what you get when you’re bad.”
  99. 99.
    >The unicorn snorts and nickers a few times.
  100. 100.
    >His hoof rubs his nose.
  101. 101.
    >You pick up Teddy and pat him nicely on the head so Comet can see.
  102. 102.
    “Teddy is my friend.”
  103. 103.
    >You put the bear on a shelf.
  104. 104.
    “I guess I should show you around. Come.”
  105. 105.
    >You have to order Comet several times before he follows you around.
  106. 106.
    >He keeps his tail low, and stays just outside of your reach.
  107. 107.
    >Each time you enter a different room he enters and inspects it closely.
  108. 108.
    >His eyes slowly move from object to object.
  109. 109.
    >Like he is cataloging them or something.
  110. 110.
    “And this is our room.”
  111. 111.
    >You open the door to your basement refuge.
  112. 112.
    >It’s a little cleaner than usual since you wanted to make him feel welcome.
  113. 113.
    >The shelf displays several anime figures, each holding up a letter.
  114. 114.
    >Together they spell, 'Hello.'
  115. 115.
    >You thought that would be a nice touch.
  116. 116.
    >Comet looks around and finds a sock that just barely missed the hamper.
  117. 117.
    >He sniffs at it, before kicking it with a hoof.
  118. 118.
    >For some reason this bothers you more than you’d like to admit.
  119. 119.
    >Comet then uses his magic and takes one of your figurines.
  120. 120.
    “No.”
  121. 121.
    >He ignores you and places it on your bed.
  122. 122.
    >With his magic he grabs another toy.
  123. 123.
    “Don’t touch my stuff.”
  124. 124.
    >You lift your hand.
  125. 125.
    >This time Comet is ready and jumps away.
  126. 126.
    >He bobs his head in a threatening manner and snorts loudly.
  127. 127.
    >His horn looks kind of sharp.
  128. 128.
    >Better stay away from it just in case.
  129. 129.
    “Alright, fine. Relax.”
  130. 130.
    >You lower your arm.
  131. 131.
    >Comet waits several seconds before returning to his inspection.
  132. 132.
    >Finally his eyes stop at his bed.
  133. 133.
    >It’s positioned next to yours so he will get used to sleeping near you.
  134. 134.
    3/15
  135. 135.
    >Eventually, you’ll invite him to cuddle.
  136. 136.
    >When the time is right.
  137. 137.
    >Once he’s comfortable.
  138. 138.
    >His bed is shaped like a horseshoe.
  139. 139.
    “Do you like it?”
  140. 140.
    >He taps a hoof a few times before looking at you.
  141. 141.
    “Yes, it’s yours.”
  142. 142.
    >Comet lifts up his hoof.
  143. 143.
    >Is he pointing at your bed?
  144. 144.
    >Finally he taps several times.
  145. 145.
    “That’s my bed.”
  146. 146.
    >You touch your chest so he can understand.
  147. 147.
    “Mine.”
  148. 148.
    >He neighs loudly and bites his bed.
  149. 149.
    “Comet, no.”
  150. 150.
    >The pony tries to drag it, but is hampered by the other furniture in the room.
  151. 151.
    “Stop it, Comet. No!”
  152. 152.
    >Again you swipe at him, and he isn’t quite fast enough to escape this time.
  153. 153.
    >Comet whinnies loudly.
  154. 154.
    >He drops the bed and lunges at you with his horn.
  155. 155.
    >Your foot catches a piece of furniture and you fall.
  156. 156.
    >As if by instinct, you curl into a ball to protect your head from his stomps, but his attack never comes.
  157. 157.
    >Cautiously, you open an eye, and see Comet using his magic to lift his bed.
  158. 158.
    >He climbs on your bed while still moving his own.
  159. 159.
    >Slowly he moves to the end and then jumps off.
  160. 160.
    >It’s like is he trying to avoid you.
  161. 161.
    >That or he doesn’t want to get hit again.
  162. 162.
    >He’s careful to stay out of your reach.
  163. 163.
    >You stand up, and see him putting his bed in your father’s office.
  164. 164.
    >When you enter the room, Comet is already sitting on his bed.
  165. 165.
    >It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.
  166. 166.
    >He was supposed to feel cold one night and then climb into your arms.
  167. 167.
    “Do you want to stay here?”
  168. 168.
    >Comet lays down once before suddenly standing and repeating the motion.
  169. 169.
    >At least he didn’t go to the other side of the house.
  170. 170.
    >Though you’re not sure how long he can use his magic.
  171. 171.
    >Maybe he chose this room so he can rest before moving again?
  172. 172.
    >You don’t want to antagonize him further.
  173. 173.
    >After all, you have to make him love you.
  174. 174.
    “Alright. You can stay here.”
  175. 175.
    4/15
  176. 176.
    >You hold out your hands and back out of the room slowly so he knows you’re not a threat.
  177. 177.
    >His brows furrow.
  178. 178.
    >Suddenly he moves forward and approaches you.
  179. 179.
    >He sits at your feet and lifts a hoof.
  180. 180.
    >Comet shakes it several times while nickering.
  181. 181.
    >Are you supposed to grab his hoof?
  182. 182.
    >Maybe he is giving you a high five?
  183. 183.
    >You hold out your hand and his hoof touches it.
  184. 184.
    >It feels amazing.
  185. 185.
    >He lets you hold his hoof for a few seconds before pulling back.
  186. 186.
    >You look at him for a while, but he doesn’t do anything.
  187. 187.
    >It's almost as if he is expecting you do so something.
  188. 188.
    >Since you just bought him, you decide it would be a good idea to give him a bath.
  189. 189.
    >He follows you easily enough to the restroom.
  190. 190.
    “Get into the tub, Comet.”
  191. 191.
    >You tap on the edge several times.
  192. 192.
    >His ears raise.
  193. 193.
    >You feel like he is giving you a defiant look.
  194. 194.
    >A hoof taps several times, and he huffs.
  195. 195.
    “What? You don’t want a bath?”
  196. 196.
    >He points outside the room then huffs again.
  197. 197.
    “Alright…”
  198. 198.
    >The second you leave, he closes the door.
  199. 199.
    >After a moment, you hear the water turning on.
  200. 200.
    >Maybe he is shy?
  201. 201.
    >You decide to leave him to it.
  202. 202.
    >It would be better to not start another fight.
  203. 203.
    >After half an hour, Comet emerges from the restroom.
  204. 204.
    >From the kitchen, he appears dry.
  205. 205.
    >Comet walks toward the living room.
  206. 206.
    >He sits in the center of the couch and waves his hoof at the television.
  207. 207.
    “You want to watch TV?”
  208. 208.
    >His ears raise.
  209. 209.
    >The remote floats toward you.
  210. 210.
    >You didn’t know ponies liked watching television.
  211. 211.
    >Again he waves his hoof.
  212. 212.
    >What does he want to watch?
  213. 213.
    >You turn on the TV and sit next to him, hoping to accidentally put an arm around him.
  214. 214.
    >He scoots to the far end of the couch.
  215. 215.
    >Well, you can’t expect everything at once.
  216. 216.
    >You turn to the animal channel, and he waves his hoof.
  217. 217.
    >This repeats several times until you end up on a documentary about space.
  218. 218.
    >He stares at the TV and doesn’t give you a glance.
  219. 219.
    5/15
  220. 220.
    >After a few hours he doesn’t argue when it is time for bed.
  221. 221.
    >When you arrive in the basement hallway, he goes to his own room.
  222. 222.
    >You linger at the door, hoping that he will invite you in, but instead he closes his door.
  223. 223.
    >It only takes a moment to slink to your room.
  224. 224.
    >It’s next to your dad’s office after all.
  225. 225.
    >You lay in bed, with Teddy in your arms.
  226. 226.
    “Why can’t Comet be more like you?”
  227. 227.
    >Teddy doesn’t answer.
  228. 228.
    >Instead you pet him, and hold him close.
  229. 229.
    >You’re glad you bought that bottle of cologne.
  230. 230.
    >With it, Teddy almost smells like what you imagine a man would smell like.
  231. 231.
    >When you close your eyes, it almost feels like someone cares about you.
  232. 232.
    >You reach over to your nightstand and pull out your massager.
  233. 233.
    >It was too big at first.
  234. 234.
    >You felt like it was ripping you open.
  235. 235.
    >Now you’ve gotten used to it.
  236. 236.
    >Having your folds stretched will make it easier to sleep.
  237. 237.
    >You put Teddy on your chest as you lay on your back.
  238. 238.
    >His face presses against yours.
  239. 239.
    >You imagine he is invading you.
  240. 240.
    >Taking what belongs to him.
  241. 241.
    >Is that fucked?
  242. 242.
    >To imagine your stuffed animal is ravaging you?
  243. 243.
    >You push away those thoughts as you let a moan escape.
  244. 244.
    >You need this.
  245. 245.
    >Soon enough, you will convince Comet to take Teddy’s place.
  246. 246.
    >Then you will have someone real.
  247. 247.
    >He might be a pony, but that’s alright.
  248. 248.
    >It’s better than nothing.
  249. 249.
    >Another moan, as Teddy pushes deeply into you.
  250. 250.
    >You pull him closer to muffle your sounds.
  251. 251.
    >You don’t want to be too loud.
  252. 252.
    >
  253. 253.
    >The entire week plays out the same.
  254. 254.
    >When you try to give him a bath him he insists that you leave.
  255. 255.
    >Sometimes he asks you for things, and it takes a while to figure out what he wants.
  256. 256.
    >At night he goes to your father’s office instead of your room.
  257. 257.
    >You have to be content with taking care of your urges by yourself.
  258. 258.
    >Comet usually follows simple commands, but occasionally he resists you.
  259. 259.
    >This morning is different.
  260. 260.
    6/15
  261. 261.
    >As you sit in front of the television watching cartoons, Comet sits next to you.
  262. 262.
    >Without telling him, he puts his head on your shoulder.
  263. 263.
    >He shifts several times until you put an arm around him.
  264. 264.
    >Finally, Comet settles down.
  265. 265.
    >He’s so warm.
  266. 266.
    >Comet’s mane has a masculine smell.
  267. 267.
    >Almost like adventure, or danger.
  268. 268.
    >You want to rub him, and tell him he’s a good boy, but you don’t want to ruin the moment.
  269. 269.
    >Together you sit for half an episode before he starts speaking.
  270. 270.
    >Just soft nickers at first, then snorts and huffs.
  271. 271.
    >All the while he moves a hoof as if he is explaining something to you.
  272. 272.
    >This goes on for several minutes before he suddenly stops.
  273. 273.
    >His big eyes look at you.
  274. 274.
    >You feel like he wants you to give him reassurance.
  275. 275.
    >A week ago, you would have thought the idea of a talking pony to be silly.
  276. 276.
    >But now that you have seen him act independently, you think it could be possible.
  277. 277.
    “What are you trying to say, boy?”
  278. 278.
    >He sits upright, and furrows his brow.
  279. 279.
    >Comet lets out a low groan.
  280. 280.
    >You shake your head.
  281. 281.
    “I don’t understand.”
  282. 282.
    >He puts a hoof to his chin and imitates a person deep in thought.
  283. 283.
    >His other hoof taps on the couch cushion.
  284. 284.
    >Suddenly he hops off the sofa and looks around the room.
  285. 285.
    >He finds a piece of paper and places it on the coffee table.
  286. 286.
    >One of his hooves taps on it several times.
  287. 287.
    >It almost looks like he wants a pen.
  288. 288.
    >You get up and grab one from the kitchen.

  294. 294.

  295. 295.
    >You hold out your hands while shaking your head.
  296. 296.
    “I don’t know what you’re trying to tell me.”

  341. 341.
    >They are three and four taps respectively.

    >Don’t all guys like getting laid?
  467. 467.
    >Maybe he just doesn’t want to do it with you?
  468. 468.
    >No.
  469. 469.
    >Don’t think about that.
  470. 470.
    >You’ll just feel bad again.
  471. 471.
    >It did sound like he was trying to talk to you.
  472. 472.

  473. 473.
    >You look up from the couch and see the crumbled up piece of paper from a few days ago.
  474. 474.
    >Sometimes it pays not to clean up.
  475. 475.
    >You take it and look over his markings.
  476. 476.
    >The letters, if you can call them that, are very angular.
  477. 477.
    >They don’t look like drawings or hieroglyphics.

  484. 484.
    11/15
  485. 485.
    >The website shows a few simple written phrases such as, ‘Clean the dishes,’ and ‘Time for bath.’
  486. 486.
    >Overall, it is unhelpful since it doesn’t give any pronunciation.
  487. 487.
    >The next website is a little better.
  488. 488.
    >It has translated a few of the pony characters into English.
  489. 489.
    >There are only fifty to a hundred translated words.
  490. 490.
    >Most appear to be nouns like, “chair,” or “banana.”
  491. 491.
    >One is particularly amusing.
  492. 492.
    >Apparently ponies don’t have a word for humans, so they use ‘monkey.’
  493. 493.
    >You print out the sheet and compare it to what Comet wrote.
  494. 494.
    >You can only make out, ‘Monkey,’ ‘read’, and ‘pony.’
  495. 495.
    >It’s a start.
  496. 496.
    >Finally you arrive at a video blogging site.
  497. 497.

    >Eventually they get to the point.
  500. 500.
    >Their blog is about communicating with ponies.
  501. 501.
    >The man says several phrases, and the pony says them in Equestrian with the symbols below.

    >”Good morning,” the pony nickers.
  503. 503.
    >”How are you?” the man says in Equestrian.
  504. 504.
    >”I’m fine. Thank you.”
  505. 505.
    >A few more jump cuts and the scene ends with the man and pony hugging.
  506. 506.
    >You watch all the other videos they made.
  507. 507.
    >Maybe if you say something in Equestrian, then Comet won’t hate you?
  508. 508.
    >You spend the next few days practicing.
  509. 509.
    >
  510. 510.
    >It’s finally Friday.
  511. 511.
    >Well, not like that matters.
  512. 512.
    >You don’t work anyway, but today you will try speaking with Comet.
  513. 513.
    >He’s been slightly less aloof, but still mostly stays out of your way.
  514. 514.
    >Today he is sitting outside and playing with Mr. Carrot.
  515. 515.
    >He looks like he is bored, and is just passing the time.
  516. 516.
    “Good morning,” you nicker.
  517. 517.
    >His ears raise, and his head turns quickly toward you.
  518. 518.
    >“What?”
  519. 519.
    “How are you?”
  520. 520.
    >His eyes open wide in disbelief.
  521. 521.
    >Comet sits up to say something, but you don’t know what he means.
  522. 522.
    “I don’t understand.”
  523. 523.
    >You tap three times for emphasis.
  524. 524.
    12/15
  525. 525.
    >He probably asked where you learned that.
  526. 526.
    >This time he talks slowly, as if to a child.
  527. 527.
    >“Monkey speak Equestrian? How?”
  528. 528.
    >You don’t know how to say computer.
  529. 529.
    “Television,” you say in English. “And with this.”
  530. 530.
    >You show him the printed paper with translations.
  531. 531.
    >Comet smiles.
  532. 532.
    >You spend the rest of the day showing him the videos, and practicing with him.
  533. 533.
    >The only breaks are when it’s time to eat.
  534. 534.
    >You don’t like skipping meals.
  535. 535.
    >That’s the best part of the day.
  536. 536.
    >Well, besides when Teddy decides to take you.
  537. 537.
    >The day is amazing.
  538. 538.
    >You learned that Comet’s name is actually Comet Tail, so you were pretty close.
  539. 539.
    >Comet even accidentally leaned on you when you needed help with a word.
  540. 540.
    >You can only speak in short sentences, and you imagine he has to fill in the rest.
  541. 541.
    >But Comet is up to the challenge.
  542. 542.
    >He talked about Equestria, and something about his cutie mark.
  543. 543.
    >You didn’t understand most of it, but it was nice to just sit next to him again.
  544. 544.
    >When you check your phone, you realize it’s late.
  545. 545.
    >Somehow the day just melted away.
  546. 546.
    >Now you have to address the elephant in the room.
  547. 547.
    >Comet Tail also seems agitated.
  548. 548.

  549. 549.
    >That it’s time for bed.
  550. 550.
    “Comet, about the other night.”

    >He crosses his hooves.
  552. 552.
    “I’m sorry. I was wrong.”
  553. 553.
    >”Yes. That was wrong.”
  554. 554.
    >You know it won’t make a difference, but you want him to know why you tried.
  555. 555.
    >Maybe then he can forgive you.
  556. 556.
    “I am lonely. No monkey friend.”
  557. 557.
    >He furrows his brow.
  558. 558.
    >”No monkey? You have pictures.”
  559. 559.
    >You shake your head.
  560. 560.
    >The videos didn’t teach you how to say that the people in the photographs are your family.
  561. 561.
    >You have to use your hands to help him understand.
  562. 562.
    “Pony and pony, make monkey. Me. Pictures.”
  563. 563.
    >”Pony and pony make monkey?” he repeats.
