Life as a broken unicorn #9
I was waiting in the park sitting on the bench next to a bed of pretty flowers and looked up at the sky. I was waiting for about 5 mins now and I couldn't wait for Volt to come. My hair was all curled and as usual I had my bow. Volt Tackle stormed into the park looking around for me. I waved my hoof and smiled. Oh, such a wonderful day. "Sorry I'm late Coffee Cake. I hope you don't mind! I was just packing food for our picnic!" I smiled and stared into his pretty sea blue eyes. I sighed dreamily. He laid out the mat for us to sit on. I picked some flowers to put around the mat just for decoration. It was the perfect date. We sat hand in hand looking at the scenery. "Hey, look. I packed some treats. Here, I bought this cake just for today. He put out two slices of carrot cake for each of us. "Thanks. You just know me so well!" I munched on the cake and sighed in delight. "Actually, I don't know so much about you. Tell me about yourself." I giggled as my mane acted as a scarf to show my shyness. I told him everything, about my backstory and my favourite things, what I'm having trouble with and about my cutie mark. He listened carefully as we ate the sandwiches. Soon the perfect free period was over and we had to head back to our dorm rooms.
I went on my iPony and checked out the Pony Book. Pony book is a social media website where you post status updates and pictures. I typed into my Pony Book. It was also a way to connect to Earth. Earth is another dimension where humans live. In their world they call it Instagram but we call it pony book. I posted about my picnic I just had with volt tackle. My Pony Book account is CoffeeCakeThePony. It's a long name but I don't care. It identifies as me and that's all I want to do. I lied down on my bed as I stared at Midnight Gem working hard on her sewing machine. "You really should have time off that thing y'know. Don't you think it's a bit unhealthy sitting in a dark corner like that all day?" I asked. She turned and stared at me," no, I'm fine. I just need to finish this project for shop class or I'm doomed!" She gasped seeking for air in the dark shadowy corner. I grabbed my desk lamp and put it next to her sewing machine on her desk so the corner was not as shadowy as before. "Any new dresses?" I asked bored out of my life. She nodded and pointed to the hanger of clothes. Try all of them on. Thanks." That was abrupt. Oh well. I took the first one on the hanger and went into the bathroom to change. As I came out Midnight Gem stared at me. "Oh gosh! You look beautiful in that thing. Oh! Almost forgot to ask you! Who's making your Grand Garden Party dress?" she asked. I shrugged. I wasn't going anyway. Parties just wasn't my thing. "I'm not sure if I'm going this year. Plus if social sparkle is going… count me out!" "Now, now, Of course you're going? Who else is Volt tackle going to the garden party with?! Plus this would be a great opportunity to show off my dresses because surely you wouldn't ask anyone but me to make your dress aren't you?" I nodded chuckling," Fine. But this year can I draw the design of the dress? I just feel like being original." Midnight Gem thought for a while and nodded," ok, fine. But make sure it's a reasonable dress for a garden party. I don't want to see you in casual clothing for this occasion!" I nodded and took out my pencil and paper.
