Rain. Rain pounded at the windows as the professor sat in his kitchen, sipping his coffee. He smiled gently, remembering his plans for the following night. He had been preparing for quite some time, and he was proud that it was finally all coming together. The reaction was great too.

The door squeaked open, revealing a tired Fink in her pajamas. "Boss, I'm tired. Can you tuck me in now?" She yawned into her left hand, the other clutching a stuffed bear.

Venomous stood up, placing his hot coffee on the table. "Sure." He walked over and put a hand on her head, then walked her to her room.

Inside, they were greeted by a small mint green bed. Fink effortlessly climbed in, clutching her bear to her chest. Venomous smiled down at her. He sat at the end of her bed, grunting at the pains in his back. Running his hand through his jet hair, he turned to her.

"Fink?"

She looked up at him and smiled. "Yeah, boss?"

He chuckled tiredly. "Do you think I'm… old?"

Fink's eyes widened. She sat up, scooting over to him. "No way! You're super young looking! Why? Did someone tell you that you are? If they did I swear I'll-"

Venomous patted her on the head. "Calm down. You won't fall asleep if you work yourself up." He grins. "I have a date tomorrow, and I just wanted some imput."

Fink's eyes went wide. "A date? You can't go on a date! Who's gonna watch Pony Princess with me?" She pouted up at him, and was met with a chuckle.

"Fink, don't worry. I'll make sure you aren't left alone." He ruffled her hair with his purple hands. "And maybe when I get home we can watch some ponies, okay?"

"Okay," Fink grumbled, her mouse-like ears drooping.
