Chapter 9, The Truth
Tina told Mike everything. From where she had come from, to why she left, and to why she lied. But, she also told him that she WOULD be 21 if she had not been cursed. Mike at first thought she was going delusional, but soon realized that she was serious. Tina couldn't believe he actually wasn't creeped out.
He was so calm about it. "Y-you're not freaked out that I'm a pony from another world?" Tina asked. "Think about it. I've been around killer robots, and I've seen crazy shit happen around the local school that's about three miles from here. I'm not creeped out by meeting a girl who is actually a pony. It's actually pretty cool." Mike said, smiling. Tina slightly blushed at what he said, but then she shook it off and smiled. "W-well thanks f-for listening…" "Hey, no problem! I'm always down to listen to what a friend has to say." "You won't listen to Freddy though…" "I don't WANT to listen to Fazfuck. He always is full of bullshit." Mike said, scowling and rolling his eyes.
"You sure about that?" Tina said, smiling bigger. "Yeah...pretty sure. And he hangs out in the bathroom, probably spilling more shit...hehe..see what I did there?" Mike said, laughing. Tina smiled while frowning, then knocked Mike's hat off his head. "Oh shut up Mike! Freddy isn't full of shit! He's an animatronic!" Tina said as she snickered. "See! You're getting it!" Mike said, smiling and grabbing his hat.
He handed it to Tina and held out his other hand. "Heh...we kinda...um, switched hats the other day. I kept forgetting to get mine back and giving your hat to you." Mike said. "Oh! Of course! I noticed that this morning." Tina took of the hat she had been wearing and handed it to Mike, grabbed her hat and put it on. "There! Problem solved!" Tina said, smiling. Mike smiled back. Suddenly, Foxy ran through the office, screeching, and running out the other side. Chica wasn't far behind.
"FOXYYYYYY! I MADE PIZZA FOR YOU! YOU WILL EAT IT!" "AYE! I REFUSE!" Foxy yelled in return, his screeching fading. What they didn't know, was that they knocked two security guards on the floor, laughing. When they stopped, they sat up, looked at each other, and laughed again. Mike stopped laughing first, but was still smiling. It was the first time he actually saw and heard Tina laugh. She had never really laughed, but she had chuckled many times. Then, Mike thought of a question that he asked Tina, even though she was still laughing.
"Can I come over and visit sometime?"
