Explanation: Roseluck saves Anon from a case of grumpiness.
-
-
>"Knock! Knock! Knock!".
-
>Roseluck banged on Anon's door harder this time since he didn't answer to the previous tapping.
-
>No answer
-
>"Anon, are you in there?"
-
"Go away!"
-
>Roseluck recoiled in surprise and hurt.
-
>"B-But you said you would come to the picnic with my sisters and me. We made your favorite food, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and..."
-
"No! I'm too grumpy!"
-
>Roseluck gasped. It was more serious than she thought. Now she definitely had to help Anon
-
>"We could go tend to my rose garden instead...if you like." she cooed.
-
>A moment of silence. Roseluck was hopeful since Anon loved her rose garden, and tending to it.
-
"Tempting, but no! I'm way too grumpy! I'm even too grumpy for ice cream with rainbow sprinkles!"
-
>Roseluck was aghast, but she was resolved to help him.
-
>She steeled her nerves, spun around and bucked as hard as she could.
-
>Anon's door shattered into a million splinters and Roseluck trotted, with a beaming smile, into the dark room.
-
"Gah! Hsssss!" exclaimed Anon, shielding his face from the outdoor light with an arm.
-
>"Don't worry, Anon. I'm here to help you!" said Roseluck brightly.
-
"Nah! Go away! There's no force in Equestria that can un-grumpify me, nothing!" He said with a decisive hand gesture.
-
>Roseluck, knew better and giggled. This would be easy.
-
>"Well, what about this!"
-
>With that she began scrunching her nose repeatedly in the most adorable manner.
-
"What?! No! Ah! Stop that! Curses!"
-
>Anon retreated into the dark of the room but Roseluck pressed on, scrunching all the more.
-
"Quit it! No! Noooooo!"
-
>Sensing the opportunity, Roseluck made a final scrunch with all her might.
-
>A wave of power surged through the room from the scrunch.
-
>The curtains flew open and sunlight shone in. Anon, was tossed like a rag doll over the sofa.
-
>Luckily his hoard of marshmallows behind the sofa broke his fall.
-
>For a moment there was silence.
-
>Roseluck looked on in hopeful anticipation.
-
>Finally, a hand came up and gripped the back of the sofa, dramatically of course, and Anon stood up.
-
>He was rubbing his head.
-
"Whoa!"
-
>"Are you ok, Anon?" she said, biting her lower lip.
-
"Yeah! Actually, I feel...great! The grumpiness, it's gone completely!"
-
>Roseluck grinned and clapped her hooves together.
-
"How'd I get like that?"
-
>"The grumpiness always comes in slowly, Anon. Bit by bit it takes over until you're just not yourself any more.
-
"Gee, Roseluck. Thank you!"
-
>"Your friends are always here for you, Anon! Wanna go to the picnic now?"
-
"Of course! Let's go!
-
>Roseluck trotted out the door, leading the way, with Anon skipping happily beside her.
