12th New Dream [Visual]

[ponycure_dream]

Whoof... It's taking longer than expected, but my shop's coming along nicely! There's still work to be done, but when it's really done, I can start selling many of the Apple Family's stuff here and maybe a few other things, too!

If there's something you want, let me know!

[Locked to Cure Item holders, so surprise her if she doesn't know it.]

Oh, before I forget, I've added a spot upstairs so we can hang out. L-like a base or something! We're all Cures so, we need to stick together one way or another... Like a team.

I-if you want to visit now, I wouldn't mind it at all!

So that's what you were up to. I was wondering why Granny Smith was diverting some of our winter crops over.

[ponycure_dream]

Sorry I didn't say anything sooner. Luna suggested it when she was first coming up with the idea and I just... Ran with it.

[tsunpony]

Hey that's no problem, I was making the new house for Marvelous and Ambrosia. I dunno if I'm moving in with them, but someone's got to cook for them.

[ponycure_dream]

Ambrosi-who?

[tsunpony]

She was Marvelous's wife back in Mayfield. You know, before he and Hayate ran our household. I don't think you ever met her...

[ponycure_dream]

No, I haven't met her before... But, why you...?

[Either Nozomi hasn't made the connection or she has and she doesn't want to believe.]

[tsunpony]

Well they had to live somewhere, right? And it's not like I'm planning on moving in with them yet. That's why we spent the afternoon this week building their farmhouse on the Farm. They'll be helping out.

[ponycure_dream]

O-oh! Oh! I... I see! Ahehe, I thought it was something else... Ehehe...

[tsunpony]

What. What did you think? Nozomi, you do realize I lived with these people for about a year right?

[ponycure_dream]

You...? What...? I...

[That sound you hear? Is things crumbling around Nozomi's world.]

B-but, Ako? Wh-what about Hayate a-and Sasami and Rin and... And me?! I...!

[tsunpony]

Oh for...! I'm not abandoning anyone, Nozomi, I just wanted to do something for them! I didn't live with Sasami or Hayate or even you and Rin before, but it's something we're doing now.

I'm allowed to have more family right? [Disapproving glare.]

[ponycure_dream]

L-liar! You... You just did all this so you could turn your back on us! On me...!

[Nozomi's... Not all there, Ako. Even more so right now.]

[tsunpony]

What? How the heck can you say that, Nozomi? We've been through a lot together, friends first then family. I thought you were better than this.

I'm not turning my back on anypony!

[ponycure_dream]

I thought YOU were better than this! I thought... I thought...!

[She quickly turns around, hiding her face.]

I'm tired of replacements. I'm tired of replacing everything I have. I want my friends... I want my family... I want my home... I want my life...!

[And Nozomi has broken...]

[private]

[outlandished]

'ey, mate. Can I have a few moments o' yer time?

[tsunpony]

Nozomi...! Geez... just... ugh.

You're overreacting. Come talk to me when you're more level-headed. [In a huff she rolls up her scroll.]

[private]

[ponycure_dream]

...a-and you are...?

[ponycure_dream]

A...Ako? Ako? Why...?

[Nothing.]

...A-Ako...

[private]

[outlandished]

Captain Ambrosia Gray of th' Bloody Mary, girlfriend t' Captain Marvelous 'n Ako's surrogate mother.

Look, I heard th' conversation she had with ye 'n I wanted t' see if yer up fer a lil' chit-chat.

[private]

[ponycure_dream]

You... Why do you wanna talk?! Haven't you done enough?! You took my sister from me! I'm tired of everything from Mayfield taking things!

[private]

[outlandished]

...eh?

Wait, are ye serious? This is all tha' yammerin's 'bout?

[ She can't hide the bewilderment on her face. For everything people have been angry with her over, this has got to be the silliest. ]

Love, I ain't intendin' t' take anyone away from anyone. How can I prove tha' t' ye?

[private]

[ponycure_dream]

Stay away from her! Leave her alone! She and Marvelous are the only family I have here!

I... I just... I...!

[private]

[outlandished]

'N why are ye treatin' me like I'm a criminal?

[ Granted, she prides herself as being a pirate, but when it comes to stuff like this, well...

Now she doesn't want to be associated with the list of crimes she racked up. ]

Ye think I'm gonna hurt th' one who helped me so much tha' readily?

Re: [private]

[ponycure_dream]

H-Help you...? Why...?

[She's just all confused, now.]

[private]

[outlandished]

'cause I was a drunken fool before I talked t' Ako. I used t' go in t' work at th' high school still drunk on me butt 'n didn't take care of meself at all.

Ako 'n Marvelous taught me how t' take care of meself. They did so much fer me 'n I'm th' kind of person who don't take acts o' kindness like tha' too lightly. They mean a lot t' me 'n I'm willin' t' work this out with ye.

'cause, let's face it. Mayfield sucked a large bunch o' barnacles 'n if we isolate people from it tha' come here, then it ain't fair t' 'em.

What do ye say?
