"Tuesdays..." Amaya sighed, shaking her head. She had already given her resignation to Ms. Tulip, and she didn't seem all that disappointed. However, her boss had her on the 'special' duty for the day, which meant she had to cook the Tuesday menu. It included dumping all the fresh daisies into a large pot and frying the petals and seeds. How anyone could ever fry a flower came to an utter loss to Amaya. Nonetheless, it was her duty, and she expected Tulip would work her to death till her last day. At least it would mean not dealing with anypony, just standing over a hot pot all day.
Luckily the day didn't seem to take too dreadfully long, and it was time to go home. Hanging her apron over the hook, she placed her hand on the handle to the back door and yelled to Tulip, "Night, Ms. Tulip! I'm headed home!"
"Hold it! Take out the trash before you go!" Tulip called back, most likely locking up the front, and ready to head home for herself.
Groaning silently to herself, Amaya ignored her aching body and replied, "I'm on it!"
"it's just trash... hopefully it hasn't piled up... too..." Amaya pulled open the door, her jaw hanging slightly slack at the back of the kitchen.
Seven large bag of ponies leftovers, and this or that lay across the floor, ready to be taken out back to the dumpster. Amaya's shoulders slumped as she whimpered, "What did I do to deserve this?"

Rainbow groaned as she pushed the last block into place. She hadn't even bothered the previous day to do anything about her ruined poop stained home. That left her taking the day off just to clean up and fix the hole in the wall. The house was clean, and the wall was fixed, but that just left her in dire need of a shower. Flying gently to her bathroom, she made sure as to not touch anything. Luckily her shower had a slightly different flooring than the rest of her house. The waterfall that fell through the center of her home, acted as her own renewable water source in her home, as well as her shower. Thanks to the sun, it would warm throughout the day, which left her with a problem of only being able to shower during the daytime, a little through the afternoon until it chilled thanks to the darkness and altitude.
Rainbow let out a gasp as she ran herself under, her muscles tired from the strenuous activity of running off birds, as well as cleaning their happy little nests and feces. Not to mention turning clouds into brick clouds and moving them about. As soon as she was clean, she let out a happy contented sigh as she relaxed under the water. Not caring that her usually rowdy mane drooped against her face and neck, only moving as a whim of the falling water that danced over her.
As she sat there relaxing in the warmth, her mind started to wander to the previous day, 'sure was fun, even if I had to clean my entire living room from bird poop...' Rainbow let out a sigh, as she stepped from the water, 'I wonder what she's doing now? Hmph... probably home by now, that is if ole Turnip head didn't keep her doing some difficult task...'
Moving from the bathroom, Rainbow didn't even bother to dry off. Normally she would fly around her home to dry off, but in her exhausted state, she simply decided to allow herself to dry naturally. Only real material in her home that could get wet was her comforter set, so she could just nap on her cloud couch, or even just the floor until she dried. It was one of the many positives of living high up in the clouds.
Upon reaching her living room, she motioned for Tanks food bowl that lay in the corner. Right beside that lay Tank himself, patiently waiting to be fed. Kissing him lightly on the head, she took the liberty of glancing about as if somepony could have seen. Looking back to Tank, she noticed the amused smirk on his face, "What!? I have to keep up my reputation! Even while at home."
Tank simply smiled slowly, as he dismissed her for the food that was now being poured into his bowl. After it was filled, Rainbow turned away for the couch. She inspected it for any poop she possibly missed, and once satisfied, she plopped herself down, "Mmmfph..." She groaned into the fluffy arm of the couch, rolling over onto her back. Her left wing was spread in between the couch and her side, while the other drooped off the side of the couch.
"What time is it?" Rainbow murmured to herself, her eyes taking a moment to accurately tell what time the clock was trying to tell her. She always thought of getting a digital clock, only because it always took her a moment to figure out what time it was with that clock with the arms, but made due only since the digital ones were more expensive, "eight... Amaya is probably back home eating dinner or taking a shower."
Laying back down, Rainbow let her eyes drift closed, exhaling a large breath nice and slow. It wasn't long until she drifted off to sleep.

Wasn't long until Amaya was fresh out of the shower, and off to bed. However, she was too excited due to started her dream job as a masseuse. Now that she was actually going for it, the fear of having to start all over if she ever went home, just seemed to be a minor thing, 'Who knows... I may even prefer to stay in Equestria.'
Sitting up in bed, Amaya pulled a pillow and hugged it to her chest, 'What am I saying? Even if I've never really cared about a boyfriend, how am I supposed to find somebody here, if I stay?' Amaya's eyes fell and her curiousness made her wonder, 'Ponies... Dash did say that interspecie relationships existed here. Who knows, I might even like dating a pony, or even a griffon. I haven't met a griffon, but the way Dash talks about Gilda, they seem like good people.'
"What am I even talking about?" Amaya groaned, forcing her face into her pillow, "I should care about my job, not my love life!"
"Meep!" Amaya jerked as a sudden knock came to her door. Glancing over to the clock on her dresser, it read, '10:00 PM' Amaya cleared her voice as she called out, "It's open, Jade!"
As the door open, Jade smirked, "How'd you know it was me?"
This earned a giggle from Amaya as she replied, "Who else could it be? You have some-'pony' over you didn't tell me about?"
"P-pony?" Jade locked eyes with Amaya, trying to act cool, but couldn't help wondering if her secret was out.
"Yeah, the gigs up, I know you are in a herd." Amaya smiled, pointing her finger at her accusingly.
Jade stepped further into Amaya's room as she threw her hands up, "I give up officer! I admit it! I've started a relationship with two creatures of a different specie."
"Then... why did you say all those things the other day?" Amaya frowned, not really upset, but was confused at her friends actions.
A devilish grin formed on Jade's face as she shook her head, "You've always been really gullible, you know that Amaya?"
Puffing her cheeks out, Amaya pouted, "How so?!"
Reaching into her pocket, Jade pulled out a small round orb that was currently wrapped in a multi colored foil. Unraveling it and Plopping it into her mouth, a small pop could be heard as she bit into it, "You believe everything I say, even when it's apparent that I'm just teasing. You don't even realize that Rainbow Dash likes you, and you two spend every moment you can together."
"D-dash!?" Amaya's eyes widened, a question mark forming above her head.
Pursing her lips, Jade had formed the ball into a malleable form before blowing it into a bubble. It popped before it retreated back into her mouth, "To be fair though, It seems she isn't even sure of her feelings, so I wouldn't feel too bad that you didn't realize it. It's just a matter of time before the two of you hook up."
"Rainbow Dash doesn't like me, and I am not gullible!" Amaya frowned, gripping at her pillow.
"Yeah, and ponies can't talk." Jade Snickered, blowing another bubble.
FWOOMP!~~ within a moment, and without thinking, Amaya angrily tossed her pillow toward her housemate. Jade could faintly be heard snickering as she darted down the hall. Jumping up from her spot, Amaya took chase and followed Jade down the hall. Before Jade could close the door to her room, Amaya pushed the door open, and tackled her friend to the bed. Pinning Jade to the bed with her wrists to either side of her head, Amaya playfully raised her voice, "Now, take it back! I'm not gullible..."
Suddenly, Jade sputtered and coughs, and Amaya went wide eyed as she released her friends wrists and jumped off, "Jade! Are you okay?"
Slowly sitting up in bed, Jade weakly smiled, clearing her voice, "I swallowed my gum..."
Blinking mindlessly for a moment, a grin gradually formed and Amaya covered her mouth to cover a laugh. As she lost the battle to a fit of laughter, Jade took the opportunity to join in. After several moments of stress relieving laughter, the smiles slowly faded. Crawling up onto the bed, Amaya pulled her legs up to her chest, and rested her head on her knees, "Jade?"
"Yeah? Something on your mind?" Jade joined her by sitting down on the bed. Her hands supporting herself from behind.
"What is it like being with a pony?" Amaya hid half her face behind her knees, looking to Jade in her peripherals.
Kicking off her slippers, Jade laid back on the bed, crossing her arms behind her head for support, "It's almost like having a large pillow thrusting inside of you."
Jade's words were so calm, that it took Amaya a moment for her words to catch up to her. Amaya's cheeks flared up, before grabbing a nearby pillow and throwing it at her friend, "Why is everything a joke with you?!"
"I'm being serious..." Jade frowned, sitting up, "Other than the weird sex, being with a pony isn't much different than a human."
"S-seriously?" Amaya stuttered, looking Jade in the eye as if to check if she was yanking her chain again. Her eyes went wide, jolting around to sit Indian style, "Wait! You've already had sex with them!?"
Sitting up on the bed, Jade was now eye level with her friend, "You know me, I don't really think sex is something is something you have to wait for. We are all adults, and if we want it, we should be able to just go for it. Plus, Pinkie seemed eager to get Caramel and myself together as soon as possible."
Amaya's eyes went wide once more, 'They actually had sex? A human and a pony? I... wonder what it was like?' glancing over to Jade, she hesitated, 'I could just ask her... would that be okay?'
Prodding her fingers together, Amaya's cheeks flared up, "W-what... what was it like?"
"Like I said, it was like a big furry pillow thrusting into me." Jade chuckled, a small grin formed in the corner of her mouth.
Furrowing her brow, Amaya grabbed another pillow, hitting Jade repeatedly in the stomach. Jade started laughing as she tried her best to protect herself, "Okay, okay! I'll tell you!" Amaya pouted, glaring at her friend, "To be honest, it felt normal for me. All I saw was Pinkie and Caramel. I mean, it is kind of hard to work around them when all they have are hooves, but that doesn't lessen the experience. Plus Caramel wasn't much bigger than a human. I thought it would be rather large, but it was proportional I suppose."
"Hmm..." was all Amaya could muster, her eyes falling to the bed. When Amaya didn't say anything, Jade sat up and scooted closer, wrapping her arm around her friends waist, "So, what are you going to do if Rainbow Dash really does like you?"
Her gaze falling faint, Amaya gently shook her head, "I don't know..."
Twirling around on the bed, Jade faced her friend and held up a finger. Amaya looked to the finger curiously, before looking the smiling Jade in the eyes as she spoke, "Welp, it's not like she's going to say anything while she hasn't come to terms with her feelings, so just focus on your new job for now!"
Slowly crawling out of bed, Amaya was leaving the room before pausing at the door, "Thanks Jade... I suppose I need to reevaluate my life in Equestria..."
"Atta girl! Just gotta keep an open mind is all!" Jade snapped her fingers, grinning with her teeth showing.
Giggling at her friend, Amaya turned for her room. Upon reaching her room, Amaya picked up her pillow from the floor before moving for her bed. Clicking off the light, she proceeded to curl up under the sheets, "A relationship with a female pony huh?" closing her eyes, Amaya let out a small contented sigh, "I could... give it a shot..." It wasn't long until sleep overcame her.
