>morning sauntered out of her room at 3 AM to get a drink, unaccompanied by her marefriend tonight
>in fact, she seemed to not be on the premises at all
>the door to the guest room was wide open, leading into a pitch black cave with no mare or crutches
>morning was intrigued, this was well into the hours she plays guardian angel
>armed with her water glass, she went to the first place she suspected
>sliding open the screen door, green was laid out on a porch chair to her right, accompanied by her crutches, knee pillows and white wires snaking out of either side of her hood
>morning carefully came within earshot, green smoothly coming online and pausing her music
>on the bright blue screen, morning caught a capital A and a capital C on either side of a preposition
>green smiled tiredly at the sight of her marefriend's face
>morning sat down on her rump
>"hi filly~"
>"hey"
>the two sat in silent solace under the pitch black sky and flooding porchlights
>"sorry i made you sad earlier" green said quietly and mournfully
>"ohhh greenie, its ok."
>green made melancholic eye contact, having gotten it off her chest
>"my parents really like you"
>a blushing heat wave rushed up the black mare's throat
>"i didnt really say much though" green said sheepishly
>morning scooted closer
>"they're like me Greenie, they can tell deep down if somepony is a kind soul"
>green sank her head in her shoulders, still with a lump in her throat
>"my dad especially. Luna, weve been here for ages" morning added on, in slight awe
>green was blank for a second as they both reminisced on the story that led her and her family to this humble town
>"you know..." green shifted up as her voice came to life
>"...you know my dads from Jamareca, so like, of course i learned how to talk a good bit from him." green started, looking up into the stars,
>"so when i was, like, super young and starting school, nopony could understand what i was saying,"
>"i would go up to a filly and be like 'BAKBAKYOSCRIBLAFOSENFIDADESKMarr' and they'd just be like 'what the...'" green slipped into a near perfect jamarecan accent for her little bit
>morning laughed cutely at the story, green looked back on her with a sincere smile
>(autors nose: what green said in plain english was 'pull your pencil out of the desk so i can borrow it, mare')

>"my mom spent *so* long trying to get him to break it, but i bet he's absolutely fried since he moved back there" green chuckled
>"when did you see him last?"
>green thought for a hard second
>"i didnt go for hearths warming sooooo, i think like last june?"
>"do you know how hes doing?"
>"oh hes A-Ok, just chillin there with, shit, i guess shes my stepmom now" green said, realizing that they got married for the millionth time 
>morning did a little sad 'aww,'
>"is she nice?"
>"nice enough, to me at least"
>a frog croaked in response over the background noise of chirping crickets
>"it just, what you said earlier... i wish you didnt have to feel like that."
>green slunk a bit, like she just did something awful
>"so i did make you sad?" green whimpered out
>"yeah..." morning felt herself take the hit, "it's just, i dont know where id be without my parents. i mean, i would *literally* be dead" she continued
>they both felt that one
>"and you're one of the strongest mares i know, but it's like, i just wish you had it better, thats all."
>greens eyes were wiggly
>"morning, filly. youve been nothing but good to me, and so have your parents."
>morning wordlessly scooted over and laid her head on the front of green's shoulder
>green slid over and sidehugged her into her neck
>the one curl in morning's mane swayed back and forth slightly
>the sound of greens hoof petting mornings fur jumped out into the quiet night
>"hey morning"
>the white mare broke her gaze to look attentively up at her marefriend
>"do they know were like... together?"
>morning giggled
>"what kind of question is that silly? of course they do."
>"i know, but. like." greens cheeks were getting some color as she stammered, "are they, like, cool with it?"
>morning righted herself, gave green a smooch on the cheek and a hug around her neck
>"theyre just happy that i am~" morning said in greens ear
>then committed to climbing all the way up into green's chair, nestling herself in the crook of her left shoulder
>both of their breaths synced as the two mares glued themselves to each other
>green's chest would softly rise and fall, then morning's would inflate and deflate in Green's hooves
>the chirping crickets had settled down, a deep croaking frog called out from deep in the woods
>such a peaceful place her family called home
