Kisses in the Dark ~ An Aarmau Story

Zane's House

Once we leave Vylad and Garroth, Zane and I start talking about ponies, our usual topic since we are both into them.

"I still think pinky cake is the best," says Zane, were both debating about which pony is better, pinky cake or Flairity. I personally think that Flarity is the best because she is my favourite and don't get me started on the reason why!

"I think Flarity is the best, she is so elegant, unlike Pinky Cake who makes a mess out of everything and anything," I say in my defence as we almost reach Zane's house.

"Were here," says Zane stating out the obvious.

"Yes, I know Mr. Obvious," I say, "By the way, since Vylad stopped by I couldn't get my ponies."

"Well, thats to too bad, I guess you'll just have to my Flarity limited edition that I WAS going to give to you for your birthday that is coming up in two months," says Zane.

"Oh my god!!! Zane! Is it the Pony Diamond super cutesy, flare and shine edition?" I say, really over excitedly.

"Yes Aphmau, It is the Pony Diamond super cutesy, flare and shine edition," I say.

"OMG!!! Thank You!!" I say and hug him really hard.

Zane POV

Aphmau is hugging me again and once again I hate it.

"Agh! Aphmau, don't do that you know I hate that!" I say, she's cute but I still like someone else.

"Thanks SO MUCH!!!" says Aphmau as we enter my house, I can't believe I used to like her in high school, I mean she is my best friend and all but still.

"Well, why don't we play princess pony teacup party," I say.

"Yes! Wait... do you have princess dresses?"says Aphmau.

"Of course I do, but if anyone asks I hate princess dresses,"I say, usually in a normal situation a guy wouldn't have any dresses of any sort.

"Ok..." say Aphmau smugly and I gives me a content smile. As we enter my house, we really were talking on my porch the whole time.

"I've never shown anyone this part of the house, mainly because my best friend only came to me and told me that you like ponies a few months ago," I say as I lead Aphmau into the basement.

"It's really dark," says Aphmau, stating the obvious.

"I know Ms. Obvious," I say copying her line. I really don't know what to say because I can't really socialize.

"Hey that's my line!" says Aphmau as I turn on the lights, "woah."

The light filled the long hallway, probably as long as long itself, which is pretty humongous. The whole room was pink and filled with ponies.

"Zane!" exclaimed Aphmau, "How did you have enough money to get this?"

"A little 'Oh My Gosh! It's Wonderful' would be nice, for a change," I said, really everyone wants to know how I get so much money but really it's called a monthly salary.

"Meh, anyway I need to see the dresses!" says Aphmau excitedly, I don't know why she loves dresses, but I do still have a favourite, my favourite one is the black one and her one is with a purple fabric.

"Right this way," I say in a formal voice as I lead Aphmau to the dress room. Once we reach the dress room I say, "here we are." As I open the door and flip the switch I open the

"Wow, Zane! I could play teacup all day," says Aphmau in a awed voice.

"This is just the dressing room, the tea party is two rooms down," I say.

"An- wow, I swear I've seen that dress in my dreams," says Aphmau as she points to a purple and pink illusion dress covered with sprinkles, under a case of glass. It was my most prized dress. The original Flarity actor had worn that in the first episode of Pony-estria Girls.

"Wait... Is that what I think it is?" says Aphmau, finally knowing which dress that was.

"Yes Aphmau, it's the original dress from the first episode of the first season," I say, rolling my eyes. Seriously it takes way too long for her to realize things.

"Can I- Can I-" says Aphmau looking at the dress.

"Yes you ca-" but before I can say anymore the door bell rings, Aphmau and I exchange glances and race to the end of the everlasting hallway. I quickly turn the lights off and the long hallway and the long hallway and all of its wonders disappear as it gets swallowed by darkness.

I run to the door as Aphmau quickly turns the TV on and casually pretends to watch Transboters. I turn the doorknob and say, "Hello,"

"Hey Aph-" says a face I know all to well, his black hood and red bandana is way too hard to not recognize. Apparently he thought he was at Aphmau's house, pfft... he annoying.

"Aaron," I say in a 'cheerful voice'.

"Hey Zane!" says Aaron sarcastically.

"OK what do you want?!" I sneer.

"I want to see Aphmau, I was sure she would open the door," sneers Aaron.

"Aaron? What are you doing here?" says Aphmau.

"Yes, what are you doing here?" I say over sarcastically.

"Really guys?" says Aphmau disappointed, I roll my eyes. Then, the doorbell rings again.

"Who could it be this time?" I say as I walk to the door, "Ok- what do you- TRAVIS?" I say as I almost fall backwards.

"Hey Aa- Zane! Oh wrong house," says Travis.

"Travis? What are you doing here?" says Aphmau.

"I was going to see Aaron about some workout tips since you know, if you can't beat them join' em," says Travis as he takes off his shirt, "but apparently I got the wrong house,"

"Ew, Travis put your shirt on!" I say, boys can be so immature now a days.

"Well..." says Travis. We all stand at the doorway, really awkwardly. Except for Aphmau, who is still casually watching Transboters.

"So... how long have you know Aphmau," says Aaron, at this we all turn to look at Aaron, even Aphmau.

I stare at him for a minute until I say, "I- I have known Aphmau since freshmen year in high school," I glance at Aphmau, leaving out a big detail. She drops her gaze.

"Well, I have known her since freshman year too," says Aaron. Suddenly I get really mad.

"Are you picking a fight with me, tough guys?" I say pushing my chest into his, which is really sad because he is like two inches taller than me.

"No, I'm not," says Aaron.

"I think I know what time it is," says Travis, "Trivia Time!"

"What?!" Aaron, Aphmau and I say in confusion.
