I Won't Forget

"I'm easily forgotten as it is. I'd rather they forget me, I'm used to it." The words fell like snowflakes from the lilac pegasus' lips, but to Sketchy, they felt more like bombs; every enunciation crashing tragically into their heart. The response had been prompted by a silly game, just random questions that normally resulted in giggles and snickers at the outrageous things they would say. But for some reason, Sketchy had asked the stupid question out of the blue, and now it had made Neon upset. It was more than clear by the way she clutched at the pillow with her forelegs, and the way she bowed her head to hide her glistening eyes. In a quieter, more unfeeling part of their mind, Sketchy mused that Neon looked something like a willow in the moment, gracefully bowing its branches in a heartbreaking display. However, they were brought back to the present by the ache of their own heart shattering at their friend's sorrowful state. Sketchy moved to sit directly beside Neon, their flanks pressing together. Neon shied away for a moment, hesitant of the contact, but eventually relaxed into the comforting warmth. Sketchy draped two of their wings over her and pulled her closer still, resting their chin carefully on top of her head. They smiled softly, remembering when Neon had done the same for them, not so long ago. Just as she did, Sketchy began to sing, but in a strange, foreign tongue that Neon couldn't identify. They wove a song of the endless skies and infinite oceans, of the tender whisper of a warm breeze and the cool feeling of rain on skin. They didn't care if the meaning was lost in the language gap, and just kept singing in their deep melodious voice. The intended effect was clear as day when Neon began to relax her hold on the pillow and rested her head against Sketchy's neck. They kept singing for a while longer, the haunting notes trailing off into comfortable silence as the two simply took in each other's company. After a few moments of this, Sketchy moved to face Neon, holding a hoof under her chin to look her in the eyes. They spoke softly, pulling their words directly from the heart. "Neon, you are anything but forgettable. You silly, lovely thing, how could you assume such blasphemy? You are incredibly dear to me, and to so many others. I absolutely refuse to let go of the memory of one of my closest friends. I care too much about you to forget." Sketchy pressed a gentle kiss to Neon's forehead and closed their eyes, hoping that she understood. @ourbutterflygarden

16. A happy kiss

—

    Hearts and Hooves had always been one of her favorite holidays- and not just because of the high business she got from her market stall, and even after selling out there ponies flocked to her garden to see if she had anything there.

    Of course she did. She was Lilyfeather! She always had a bouquet or a crown or a single, perfect rose, whatever you wished for.

    But it wasn’t terribly often that a pony would arrive at her garden while she was busily making up more crowns for any other pony who may still arrive, not looking for a gift for them but to give her something, in this case a hoof made bag of treats from a good friend.

      Excitement and glee were bubbling up in her chest, impossible to contain and even harder to hide. A huge grin split her face as she reared up, pressing a sweet, excited kiss to Sketchy’s soft pink snout.

     “Happy Hearts n’ Hooves to you too, Sketchy! These look great! Oh, goodness, thank you! Gosh, I know I made you a crown, it’s here somewhere…” She flashed another, grateful smile up at the much taller pony, turning to rummage through the piles of flowers, nosing through them. She hadn’t had a chance to drop her own gifts off to her friends yet, and was maybe a touch frazzled, but no matter, it was Hearts n Hooves! 

[paperpeoniesrp]

Sketchy shook their head and smiled, gently placing the bag on the ground before leaning down to give Lily a kiss on the cheek. “Happy Hearts n’ Hooves day to you as well, love! No need to work yourself up over me, I’m just happy to be here!”

It was Sketchy’s first Hearts n’ Hooves day, but they were already delighted with the idea. An entire day dedicated to loving one another and spreading love? Sketchy was all in. They had actually done extensive research on the holiday, trying to figure out the best way to celebrate it with friends. An entire day had been spent in the local library, searching through books and magazines for advice. Many of them entailed something called a “special somepony”, but they had disregarded it without a second glance. When Sketchy stumbled upon a recipe book entailing Hearts n Hooves day themed treats, their excitement went through the roof! The rest of the same day was spent perfecting and laboring over sweets for their friends.

And that was how they ended up in Lily’s garden, bits of crumbs and cream still stuck in their mane as they delivered a bag of strawberry macarons to a friend.

The pink pony chuckled at the endearing sight of Lily being so set upon finding their specific flower crown amongst the others. It wasn’t every day that Sketchy got presents, and it simply warmed their heart to receive one. However, Lily seemed a little tired, and they were eager to aid a friend. “Need some help, Lily dear? That’s quite an impressive amount of crowns to search through on your own…”

[ourbutterflygarden]

     “Thanks!” Lily’s head popped up, flashing a smile at Sketchy. “I’ve been working for today for days, you can’t work too far ahead because the flowers wilt, but I already sold out all the stock I’d pre-made so I made these all in the past few hours…” She trailed off, humming thoughtfully as she nosed through the piles, tail wagging in the air.

    “Oh, I appreciate the offer, but it should be riiiiiight…!” She let out a sudden, triumphant noise, popping up again with a crown of fresh peonies and primroses in her teeth.

     “Here we are! Got it!” She beamed, trotting closer to stretch her neck up towards Sketchy, offering the pink crown. “Peonies are your favorite, right? I thought the primroses added a nice touch,” She said, eyes crinkled in a grin.

[paperpeoniesrp]

The sight of the pink blossoms made Sketchy's heart swell, albeit a little painfully. Their blue eyes began to tear up a little, and they smiled as they leaned down to let Lily put on the crown. "Thank you so much, Lily..."

Their voice cracked for a moment as they thanked her, but quickly picked up the playfully upbeat tone that it normally held. "They're absolutely perfect! How do I look?"

Immediately, in a flamboyant and showoff-ish way, Sketchy struck a few silly poses, over exaggerating their expressions as they pretended to model with the flower crown. "Maybe they're born with it, maybe it's Neighbelline~" They spoke the slogan in a comedically sultry voice, fluttering their eyelashes and pouting their lips for dramatic effect.

“See, like this!” Lilyfeather chirped, deftly sewing two patches together, hooves quick and steady, though she angled herself so the double winged pegasus could easily see what she was doing.

“See what I mean? It’s not hard! Wanna try?” She offered two quilt squares to Sketchy, blinking up at her brightly.

[paperpeoniesrp]

They blinked and readjusted their monocle before taking the pieces of quilt into their own hooves. Staring back and forth between the two, Sketchy tried to go over what Lily had just demonstrated. “So… Like this…?” The cheerful pony had made it seem so easy… But Sketchy was clumsy with their hooves, with the exception of making their beloved flower crowns.

Slowly, the pegasus drew the needle through the two quilt squares, trying desperately to get a neat stitch… And failed miserably. They clicked their tongue and sighed in dissatisfaction, feeling a bit peeved at the messy hoofwork. “I’m afraid I’m simply not as skilled, my dear. You do it with such practiced ease! I have to say, it’s quite splendid.” They smiled at the earthpony, unable to stay upset for long when with their bubbly friend.

Sketchy handed back the shoddy work and settled down comfortably next to Lilyfeather, the sound of their great pink wings rustling briefly filling the air. “Perhaps you could show me a few more times? Then, once I see it again, I’ll have another crack at it.”

[ourbutterflygarden]

      “I think you did great for a first try!” Lilyfeather promised, taking back the quilt squares and admiring them. “Really good! The trick is not to hurry, which you didn’t!” She beamed up at the pink pony.

     “I’m happy to show you a few more times!” She added brightly, settling back closer to Sketchy, side brushing theirs as she brought the squares close to them both. “I’ll go real slow this time and pick up pace, ok?” She promised.

     She was doing a very simplified version of a quilt, trying to make an easy lesson out of it. It would likely be very thin and probably quite misshapen, but it would have character and it would be Sketchy’s first project! They could make a bigger, more comfortable version of it later, and introduce Sketchy into how to use a sewing machine in the process.

     “We’re just gonna be doing straight lines this time, but sometime I’ll show you how to sew pretty patterns like hearts and flowers!” She said brightly, moving slowly across the quilt squares, forming a neat little line of thread.

[paperpeoniesrp]

Their ears perked up sharply at the suggestion of adding patterns. "Oh? Flowers you say? Why, I do declare, that should be great fun!" A small, delighted smile stretched across Sketchy's lips, and they focused their attention on the demonstration again. If they could learn this, then perhaps the flower patterns would be close behind!

After studying Lily's deft, skilled movements a few more times, Sketchy slowly sat up again, a determined glimmer in their eyes. "Alright! I'd like to try it again, if I may. I do believe I've got it!" The note of confidence in their voice was loud and clear. Gently taking back the quilt pieces and needle from the other, Sketchy began to carefully sew them together. This time, the lines of thread were less crooked and chaotic, and were becoming a bit tighter, and much closer to the ideal.

Holding up the sewn cloth, the double winged pony held the expression of an excited child, bright and pleased with their work. "I say, it's an improvement, no? Much better than before!"

A Closed RP with @tuneweavers

{Wait, Who The Hell Are You?!} An rp with @tuneweavers

A thinly framed unicorn gently bobbed her head to the music that bled from her headphones. It was night in the bustling city of Chicoltgo, and the frantic crowd around the small pony paid no heed to her presence, simply pushing and shoving around her, and often elicited a small curse from her lips. However, this gave her no real exasperation. This chaotic city was her home after all.

Chip let out a tired sigh as she allowed her music to capture her attention. It had been a hard day, and while there was plenty of food in the apartment, the undying craving for a slice of strawberry cake was torturous for the little music maker’s stomach. But despite the distraction, the beat of her song gave a little briskness into her step as the unicorn began to focus upon it. The light clip clopping of her delicate white hooves synced to the faster paced, higher pitched notes, the bobbing of her flame red hair matched the deep bass, and the—

GRRRRROOOOWL

Now her mane wasn’t the only thing that was a shade of red.

With the moment ruined, Chip turned an annoyed glance skyward, hoping to find some respite from the embarrassment that insisted on emblazoning itself upon her face. Trying to distance herself from the audible rumbling of her stomach, she began to pick out the stars. However, the task was too simple, and her attention was recaptured by the crowd. Specifically, those behind her.

She turned her head, and her eyes darted to the edge of her vision. The red haired unicorn caught sight of irritated looking ponies suddenly parting behind her. Chip’s music was so loud that it drowned out the frenzied storm of hooves that pounded towards her. A blurred flash of pink and yellow was all she could see before something collided into her.

 BAM

The powerful impact knocked the unicorn’s headphones off, and made her skid a few feet on the pavement. Chip winced as she rose, moving her lower jaw to reassure herself that it hadn’t broken. With her recovery and recollection of her wits, the annoyed and angry pony turned to whatever had hit her, ready to give it a piece of her mind. But what she saw made her sore jaw hang slack.

A honey haired pegasus with a fuchsia coat shakily stood, their sides heaving with fatigue. As they lifted their head, a pair of teal eyes and a monocle appeared. However, upon closer inspection, the eyes were filled with a glistening fear and urgency like Chip had never seen before. Closing her mouth and swallowing slightly, the stunned Chip Tune prepared to say something. Instead, she was cut off once again.

“Don’t ask questions, just run!” the pink pony extended a wing and draped it tightly around the other’s body, keeping them securely close together. Chip’s brain was too muddled to process the chain of events, so her body responded instead, drumming her hooves against the concrete as she ran alongside her strange new companion.
