Semi-Creepy Mansion | Monday Morning

[robinonadderall]

The pizza had been eaten, there might have been a child or two traumatized by Stiles' choice in movies but at least there hadn't been any injuries despite the fact it was a bunch of children inside the creeper mansion. All in all it was a pretty successful sleepover for one that Stiles was half-responsible for.

Sadly now there was a bunch of adults and one teenager to deal with a morning after. Surely this won't be awkward. Or painful. Derek was involved so it might end up being painful.

[For those that slept over! And anyone else around too as well]

Some would even say too cheerful for this early on a weird Monday.

"Hi," Mike said, a little slowly. Adjusting to this change and all. And you know, talking to a pony. "You seem... happy."

[locointhecoco]

Most would, probably.

"I usually do! There's just so much to laugh about and have fun with in the world!"

Things she had not discovered until she was mostly grown up and a rainbow exploded over her parents' rock farm. It was best not to ask.

[newroutines]

Oh, Mike was not going to, everyone could rest assured. He was trying to preserve some sanity.

"Is there?" he asked. "Uh, guess there is."

He really didn't know.

[locointhecoco]

"Yup! There's rainbows and friendship and parties and sugar and muffins and everything!"

He should probably be glad she cut her own list short. It could have gone on and on.

[newroutines]

"Uh huh." Mike nodded a little uncertainly, but smiled a bit. It was kind of a reflex, being nice to people... And ponies. "Well, okay, those are pretty nice things."

[locointhecoco]

"What are some of the things that make you happy?"

This was what small talk with Pinkie was like, yes.

[newroutines]

Well, it was certainly nice to know Mike would never again really need to take drugs to feel disoriented.

"Um." Lord, he was actually considering his answer. "Music, I guess? Building things. Dancing."

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie gasped in delight. "I love to dance! We should have a dance party sometime!"

[newroutines]

"... Maybe."

Now he was just trying to picture her dancing, sorry. It was distracting.

[locointhecoco]

And dangerous. She wasn't always good at knowing where her rear end would end up, and folks could get bodychecked off the dance floor.

"You're gonna be a great roommie for Derek, I just know it."

[newroutines]

"Yeah, we'll see." That still sounded a little distracted. Pink pony. Possibly dancing. "I'm trying my best."

[locointhecoco]

"He's not the easiest friend," Pinkie acknowledged. "But we're working on it!"

[newroutines]

"How?"

He was honestly curious about that. Because he could picture that even less than her dancing.

[locointhecoco]

"Mostly just by being the bestest friend to him I can be. I should send him another care package soon!"

[newroutines]

Snort. "Maybe you should. I think this weekend's probably made him even grumpier than usual."

[locointhecoco]

"And he was so happy all weekend, too!" Especially compared to tiny, depressed Pinkie.
