>You carry IE over to the couch and set her down. >You sit next to her and look at your laptop >It looks ok, but you could feel the heat it was giving off. >It would at least be a few hours before it was working. >You sit next to IE, who is staring at you. >It was a little unnerving, but at the same time it was kind of cute. “Hey IE, you said before you could do the same things as a normal browser, right?” >”You bet I can! Watch this.” >She blinked a few times, and the welcome page flashed in front of her. >’Now that’s pretty cool’ >”So is there anything you wanted to look up Anon?” “Uh, yeah. Let’s check the news. I want to see if other people are experiencing this” >”Sure thing!” >She brings up a news page, the way she’s positioned it’s hard to read. “IE, could you move so I can read the page easier?” >She nods and tries to position herself in front of you. >After leaning over and almost falling off the couch, she decides to climb on the back of your neck. “IE, what are you doing?” >”I'm trying to find a comfortable spot, and your head is pretty comfortable. Plus, it’s really cool up here. >She shines the page down in front of you, which you can now read perfectly. >There is a method to her madness apparently. >You scan the headlines for anything that seems relevant. >You figure that computers that produce living things must be important. >But nothing seems to stand out. “Huh. I guess that not very many people are experiencing this.” >”And is that a good thing” “I dunno. No news is good news, I guess” >You look through the headlines once more, but nothing stands out. >You stifle a yawn and look at the clock in the corner. >It’s a little bit after midnight. >Times flies when you meet a talking pony. >You close the window and pick IE up off your head and set her on your lap. “So where do you feel like sleeping tonight?” >”I thought I was gonna sleep right here, if that’s ok with you and all.” >You could tell she was tired as well. >Moving her off your lap, you go to your room and grab a blanket. >By the time you return, she’s already curled up into a ball “Here, in case you gets cold” >She gives a small smile as thanks, and you cover her up. >”Goodnight Anon.” “G’night IE.” >You head into your room and plop down onto your bed. >You’re so tired that you don’t even bother getting undressed. >After a few minutes, you manage to drift off to sleep. >You wake up to a small tapping noise. >Glancing over at your clock, you see that it’s not even three yet. >What ungodly thing could have woken you up at this hour? >”Hey Anon…” >Oh yeah, the pony >You roll over and look at her. “What is it, IE?” >”Well, um, I was wondering if I could sleep with you tonight. You see, I was lonely sitting out there all alone and I thought I could come and sleep with you.” >Is this the same pony as before? “Sure you can IE. You could have come in here in the first place.” >She crawls in next to you, gives you a sleepy smile, and gives you a small lick on your face as thanks. >Your hearts melts right there as she snuggles closer to you. >Maybe having a little pony around wouldn’t be so bad.
