Dogboots was practically drooling at the meal that laid before him. It was an understatement to say that the earth pony loved pancakes.

 

"This...This looks amazing!" He exclaimed,

 

The stallion picked up a fork and soon took his first bite of the pancake. A huge smile crept across the colt's face,

 

"This...is the best pancake i've ever had," He said stunned by the mare's meal.

Walking into the kitchen and preparing the ingredients for a Windy-grade Omelette, Windy glanced over at Mystic, and saw her using her magic for... something. Windy had no idea what unicorn magic could be used for, and so he just shook his head and went back to cracking some eggs into a bowl. Every alarm bell and whistle in his head was going off, but he couldn't put his hoof on what was wrong...  But everything was just so out of his element... Putting his head down and just muddling through this would be the best thing to do. Glancing around the kitchen for a spatula, Windy saw an envelope laying on the counter, partially underneath the sugar bowl. It had 'Curious' scrawled on it in blood-red ink. Glancing around, Windy slit the envelope open with a knife, and pulled out the note. It was very short. When Windy read it, his blood ran cold. It read,

 

Curious,

 

Taking revenge on you will be so sweet.

Enjoy your vacation while it lasts.

I will be coming for you. 

Take refuge in your illusion of safety while it lasts.

 

Grabbing the note and stuffing it in his saddlebags, Windy adopted an innocent look. Telling anypony about the note at this time wouldn't be prudent, he decided....

Curious winced at being slapped, but he didn't so much as bring a hoof up to his cheek. Instead, he simply stared at Vinyl coldly. "Now, that... that is a familiar sensation. One I really hoped I would never have to feel again."

 

"Fair enough, Miss Blade," he said in a calm and even tone. "I can't rightly feel vindictive against you, not in light of recent circumstances." 

 

Then, Curious let out a hearty laugh, despite the pain he felt on his still bruised cheek.

 

His laughter faded quickly, "Honestly, just now learning that you got fired after that incident at the Gala really does kind of make what I have done with my life since then feel so much more satisfying."

 

Curious breathed a sigh of relief, "She'll probably try to deny she got fired, but I know there's no way in Tartarus the Princess would let Vinyl keep her position after giving her such bad press."

 

((OOC: wait, I didn't realize you had edited your post! Now I have to edit mine!))

 

Curious blinked and found that Vinyl was a little... close.

 

"Um, what's she doing? Wait... have some fun? I... wha? But... but Mystic!"

 

He pulled his head back away a few inches more from Vinyl's.

Mystic was watching the glowing silouette of Vinyl like a hawk. she couldnt help but smile when Curious pulled his head away, just goes to show how loyal to Mystic he was. she was proud of him as most colts would jump at the opportunity to cheat on their mare

She laughed, "thanks. But youbshould see what I can do when I'm NOT tired and have access to high quality ingredients not that youes aren't any good." She took a bite savoring the flavor of the first bite then quickly eating the rest of it and rinsing out the dishes and putting away the unused ingredients. After this was done she sat back down and waited for him to finish asking, "so do you have a job?"

Vinyl raised an eyebrow and had a confused look on her face, then she realised what he thought he knew. "Fired? Ha! No, Celestia denied all claims of knowing me, but I still work for her and Luna. She brought me up from the dirt and she said she would help me no matter what. Not to mention all the jobs I've gotten from affluent nobles." At this point, she started to slowly walk around him. "One of them even attempted to hire me to kill you, but... I denied it. I couldn't bring myself to kill you then." She was behind him and slowly ran her hoof down his back, toward his cutie mark. "Sure, you fucked up one of my jobs, but its effect was so insignificant..."

"Not quite yet," He said a little embarrassed by this fact. The stallion had only came to this city yesterday and already he didn't have a job. 

 

"I was planning on looking today though, it's just that I...enjoyed spending time with you," The colt said, blushing but also feeling ashamed. He stared at his food with a glum face.

"That's it I can't take it anymore," throwing up her hooves into the air and fetting up from the table to trot over to him and place a kiss right on his lips. Pulling herself away a few minutes later she said, "you are just too dang cute not to kiss

" a rye smile played on her lips and she sat back down letting him finish his breakfast mumbling about how he rasred like pancake.

"Well we should go look for work for you together. Two heads are better than one right?" She chuckled downing the rest of her coffee abd feeling the caffeine at work.

The stallion really had to hold himself back and prevent his natural instincts from taking over.

 

"No! Not this time!" 

 

"You're right, lead the way beautiful," He replied back to Cuppie Cake. The colt stood up and felt prepared to take on the day or at least make it look like it. Truthfully, the stallion was still holding back his instincts in a battle.

Curious's wings sprang upward upon the establishment of physical contact with Vinyl.

 

"Really not the time for that! Damnable hormones!" He tugged at his scarf again, the typical effect of clearing his mind not quite working at full efficiency.

 

He chuckled to himself, more so at his own confusion in comprehending the situation than at the situation itself.

 

"DEFUSE DEFUSE DEFUSE" Rang like an alarm in his head.

 

"Yeah, man, like bro! That's totally my mare, don't do that to me, bro, I am even cooking you breakfast, bro!" The Windy in his mind said, or as Curious had dubbed him, Mindy.

 

"I Still think he says bro too many times, got to work on that. But wait! Breakfast, Windy, of course!"

 

"So, I wonder how breakfast is going, let's check up on Windy! You know Windy! He is a great Stallion, always so generous, that Windy. In fact, I would wager he is a far better stallion than the poor, worthless worm that I am." He said at a fast pace, not taking any breaths in between sentences.

She blushed at the word beautiful and quickly went to the door if they didn't leave now they were never going to. When they got to the bortum of the step and out the door she turned to him frowning. "I have no idea where the market place is.." this was embarrassing to admit but directions were not her speciality and this was a new city for her and she needed to learn it.

Vinyl laughed to herself because of how she was making him act. "Ah, you're so right. You have really great judgement, you know that? But judgement doesn't transfer into looks or mare-pleasing abilities. You know, I kinda pity Mystic. She could be with someone so much better. How did that cute little devil wind up with you?

Curious let out a breath of relief when he saw Vinyl go back in the apartment.

 

"And now... I just have to go back in there, face two ponies who have no idea what just happened, and..."

 

Curious's thoughts wandered away however, when he caught glimpse of two ponies leaving from the apartment building.

 

"Hey, isn't that the fish boat guy? You know, I am quite intrigued as to why he looks so odd." Curious knew he probably should have just went back into the apartment, but this is a matter that's been bugging him ever since he got on that boat.

 

"Don't worry, brah, I got you're back. Go have fun away from these two beautiful mares and chase some guy." Mindy told him in his head.

 

"Well, when you put it like that, that just makes me seem like an idiot. Honestly, why do I bother with you Mindy? You're nothing but a figment of my imagination."

 

Curious noticed that the stallion was moving away from the apartment, towards... was that the market place? "Well, might as well just see what he's up to. Let the situation here cool down."

 

Curious jumped to the ground from his current position still at his door, not much concerned at this point with something like his fear of heights.

 

"Now, let's see where they are going," and Curious trotted off after the two ponies.

Windy stood stock still in the kitchen, trying to take in even and steady breaths. Fumbling around, he pulled out the biggest, wickedest blade he could find. Not that it would do him any good. If those mares wanted him dead, he'd be lucky to get a nick on one of them before he was going up to the great soccer pitch in the sky. "Well, I knew this apartment was too good to be true. Those mares must be behind that death note for Curious! They'll kill him, then kill be because of guilt by association! I don't DO guilt by association! Add to the fact that my mare is a fillyfooler... Add to the fact that she was hitting on Curious and gave him a bucking wingboner! The verdict? She DOES think I'm an expendable colt toy, a plaything! She wouldn't have any qualms about killing a plaything of hers! And to think I thought I really liked her... I just need to get out of here! Now! Just spread my wings and fly out the window! No that wouldn't work, they have magic. They'd stop me... The door? Too far... I don't know!"

 

A very loud *ding* interrupted Windy's train of thought. The waffles he had made were done. The mares had heard the ding too, that Windy was sure of. His eyes contracted in fear. They'd kill him right here in this kitchen for what he had overheard! He would at least face his imminent death with a shard of dignity, he decided. Taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the kitchen into the living room. "So, who wants breakfast?" He asked as bravely as he could, but his knees were knocking in fear, his eyes were tiny pinpricks in his head, and he was very... twitchy.

They walked to a few different stalls with no luck of finding what they had been looking for they were on their sixth stall when Cuppie leaned over Dogboots to get a look at some apples and whispered in his ear, "I think we're being followed. Well dont look." She remarked when he tried looking around."isn't this exiting!"

The first stall they went to she had noticed the stallion stop when they had stopped and move when they had moved. She was scared at first but when they got to their fouth stall she decided he was harmless and found it enjoyable and fun. But they were going to have to lose him.

Positively trembling, he brought out the omelettes and waffles he had whipped up, doing his best not to tremble as he served the two mares and then himself. Sitting down at the kitchen table, he opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a high pitched quiet little unmanly squeal of fear.
