>Be you
>Be undeniably comfortable for a Sunday
>Sundays and Saturdays are when Jacky doesn't have to go to work
>You've spent almost all day laying between her legs with your head on her lap
>You really are happy to have ended up with her
>She's a complete dork, but you wouldn't want her any other way
>You wobble to your hooves, yawning out the opening tune to X-Files
"Hey Jacky... y'up?"
>A quick glance shows that she's still KO'd
>Both of you did dip into a bottle of the whiskey but you woke up just fine
>You nudge her thigh with one of your hooves
"Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey."
>You nudge her with every 'hey'
"Hey. Hey... if you don't get up I'm going to lick your face."
>Wait, if she was up, she wouldn't act like she was so that exact same thing would happen
>As you contemplate what to do with yourself and the alcohol fan, you hear someone walking by from behind
>You spin around and catch a glimpse at Sparky
"Hey, hey Sparks! Hold up a sec!"
>You jump off the bed and stick the landing before trotting out into the hallway
"What'cha up to?"
>You know she knows you're there because you can hear her sigh
"Jacky's out cold and I don't feel like doing anything I shouldn't."
>Sparks finally acknowledges you
>"Anon, you know I find you weird."
"And?"
>"And you're really weird."
"And?"
>"And you're Jacky's pony, not mine."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
>"So bug her."
>You keep following her while she walks around, obviously trying to tire you out
>Won't work, lady
"Come on... why can't we be more friends?"
>"Because you're like... her surrogate boyfriend or something at this point. It's weird."
>You frown
>That kinda hurt
"I'm... just a surrogate?"
>That makes you require a sit down
"Dang. I thought I was more than that."
>The wind left your sails completely
>Sparks watches you visibly deflate
>She gives a dull 'uuuuuugh' and bends over, patting your head
>"Listen, Anon. You're a cool... pony... thing. Jacky loves you with all her heart because she's smiled more with you than I've ever seen since we were kids. And that was a while ago."
>Your ears perk up a bit but you aren't revived yet
"Yeah, I get that... but I've heard you two argue a lot. Even if it's just you two goofing around, I want us all to be more cool to each other. And Dashie doesn't even stop by all that much, and Jack told me all of you used to hang out almost every day and now she's just... gone, it seems."
>"Why do you call her Da... your nicknames are weird, ok? And it isn't your fault or anything."
"Well I know that. But I still think I should at least help."
>"Yeah... maybe that's why she likes you so much."
>She ruffles your mane and finally breaks her stoic mask with a smile
>"We have little... rough patches. But she'll get over herself. She always has before."
"Yeah. Maybe. But what about you and Jack?"
>She shrugs
>"What about us? We live together. We said we would when we were in highschool and we're still friends. It just means that we can piss each other off that much more than we can with other people and know it won't mean as much."
>That sounded about right
>As dense as Jacky is about some things, it is easy to make fun of her
>Even you've done that
>On the other hand, Sparks is so stubborn and easy to annoy but she's like a magician with all sorts of things she can do
>She seems spooky levels of empathetic too
"I guess that makes sense... hey, what are you up to, anyway?"
>She sighs
>"Nothing, now. You need something?"
"Yeah. I wanna wake up Jacky but I don't know how."
>"You guys drinking and stuff again?"
"Well, she was drinking and I-"
>"Ok, stop talking. I get it. I got just the thing..."
>After some prep work, and a slight costume change, you bounce onto Jacky's bed and adopt your most heroic voice
"STAND DOWN, CITIZEN, FOR IT IS I, CAPTAIN EQUINE. AWAKEN, OR HAVE YOUR DREAMS OF EVIL ANNIHILATED!"
>Jacky sputters something out as the shockwave of you leaping up onto her bed shakes her awake
>She looks at you, orange hair covering one of her eyes, with a squint
>"Anon, what in..."
>Her eyes shoot open
>"W-what are, how did... take off my panties you little freak!"
"NEGATIVE, CITIZEN."
>You stand proud, a pair of Jacky's boyshorts on your face
>Due to how they don't completely fit on your horse face, they're more set up to sit on the top of your head, with both of the holes for legs revealing an eye
>You give an award winning smile
"AWAKEN FROM YOUR ALCOHOLIC HIBERNATION, THERE'S EVIL TO FACE!"
>You can hear Sparks laughing from around the corner
>The longer it goes on, the louder she's laughing
>"Take those off this instant or I'll-"
"ORAL ACQUIESCING WILL NOT STOP CAPTAIN EQUINE FROM ABSCONDING. WITH JUSTICE."
>You leap off of her bed, stumbling once you hit the ground to gallop away
>Jacky stumbles out of bed, hitting the floor half as gracefully as you do
>At least she's wearing a shirt as well as shorts
>This time
>Sparks is doubled over as you gallop out, underwear firmly attached to your head with a few strips of tape
"FOLLOW ME, JACKY OF JIM BEAN, FOR GRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT JUSTICE!"
>You spend the rest of your energy ducking, dodging and diving away from Jacky's attempts to capture you
>She's strong enough to carry you down a hallway so she isn't a pushoever
>But the booze in her system is keeping her from eloquently chasing you
>Only when you spring onto the bed again does she stumble into her room, huffing and panting
>"You... are asking for it, Anon."
>She leans against the doorway, fanning herself with the collar of her shirt
"JOIN ME IN ADVENTURE."
>She looks at you with a mix of murder and sloppy fatigue in her eye
>"Can't we just chill? It's a Sunday..."
"IT IS ALSO... uh..."
>You look around the room, unable to find a clock or her phone
>She points toward the desktop monitor, which is near her bed
>You glance at it, turning to the head to give yourself better vision
>As tight as these are, you're surprised you can see anything at all
"Ah, ok, IT IS TH...TW..."
>You step closer to the monitor, unable to get a solid read
>Jacky plops down onto her bed next to you and fishes out her phone from around somewhere in her sea of blankets
>"It's almost five."
"ALMOST FIVE. WE'VE SLEPT THE ENTIRE DAY AWAY!"
>You feel a pair of arms snake around your torso before she jerks you off your hooves
>You land at on your side, half on top of her
>At least your shoulder landed on somewhere soft
>"It's Sunday and we fooled around aaaaaaaaaalllllllllll yesterday. So let's just relax. I can put on some music if you like."
"NEGATIVE, I MUST--"
>You struggle to escape her grasp until you feel your power drain
>Your superpony powers and drive to end all threats to the world drains the second she rips off your underwear-based mask
"OH NO I'M GEeetting weaaaakkkk....ahh..."
>You weakly thrash about before going limp
>You even push out your tongue to simulate a hero's dignified death
>Only when you feel a thumb and index finger tug on it do you revive
>But only as Anon
"Oh, hey there, you're awake. Fancy meeting you here."
>"Mmmhmm."
>Jacky had already closed her eyes
>The smile on her face is enough to make you jump out the window with your heroic mask on to truly save the world
>Even if it would only lead to going outside where the neighbors can see
"Hey Jack..."
>You nuzzle against her
>"Mmmmmhmm?"
"Sparky said I was your boyfriend."
>You hear her 'hmmm' turn into something dubious
>She stretches and does her best to hide a hiccup
"I think she's jealous, personally."
>That finally gets her to speak
>"If I had any brains, I'd be jealous too."
"Good thing you don't have a lot of those otherwise you'd be super jealous."
>"I'm gonna take that as a compliment..."
"I will too."
>She sounds happy
>That makes you happy
