~ Morning, Olivine's dream ~

*Olivine's POV*

This time I was in a white room. White walls, white floors, white puzzle pieces that were scattered along the floor, and a white bed was under my feet. I was also in my white gown with a red ribbon tied around my neck.

High upon the wall sat a dainty little window, it seemed to be the only source of a outside world. Just barely, I could see a blue sky and white clouds. If I listened close enough, I could hear birds chirping, they were lucky to be free.

"Good morning Olivia~" A man said as he walked through the door.

The man wore a white lab coat with white gloves and white boots. He had short brown hair and simple glasses.

"My name is not Olivia, it is Olivine," I retorted, surprisingly without my stutter.

"I've told you a thousand times, that's not your name~" He insisted.

I started to get a little agitated, I can tell that we've had this conversation before.

"Now, I brought a friend for you~ please be nice to her, blood doesn't look good on the walls~!" He annoyingly chirped.

Then he walked away and closed the door. Soon after, a familiar girl about my age walked in. She had sea salt blue eyes, barbie blonde hair, and cute freckles... just like Paige.

"Hello," she innocently said as she approached my bed.

"You are not afraid of me?" I cautiously asked.

"No, why would I be. You're a person, just like me," she explained.

Oh! Point for rhyming~

"I am no person, nor am I human," I slid off the bed and placed some distance between us.

"Yes you are, I'm the one who's not human."

What? Paige isn't a... human? Then what is she?

"What are you then, if you claim to not be human?"

"I can't tell you, my master forbids me..." She paused before she spoke again. "What's you're name?"

"Olivine, what are you called?"

"Just call me Xero!" She smiled.

"Ze... Ro?" I slowly pronounced.

"Yeah, Xero, but with an X," she really wasn't afraid of me...

"Well then... what do we--" I was stopped by her warm embrace. "W-What are you doing?!"

"Giving you a hug, you've never had one before?" She lever let me go.

"No... no one has touched me before, not even the weird scientist guy..." I admitted.

"Awe~ how does it feel?"

"...Warm... Really warm..."

Then she held me at arms length. Although, it wasn't long until her face became closer to mine.

"What are--"

Her lips met mine. Soft and sweet, but passionate and longing. When she gave me a chance to breathe, I gave her a questionable look.

"..." I was at a loss for words.

"I gave you a kiss. It's what friends do, right?"

"I've never had a friend before... but I guess so..."

I don't know what's going on... But my heart is beating at a rapid pace.

"Well... did you like it?" She asked, still holding me.

"... a little..."

Is it okay... to kiss a girl?

"Wrap your arms around me," she instructed, I followed.

"Now..." she kissed me again, longer this time. She left me with a funny feeling in my tummy.

"Olivine..." she moaned.

That made me hold her tighter. With her body pressed against mine, I started to feel really funny inside. This feeling... I like it a lot. But then she suddenly pulled away and I whined in response.

"I'm sorry, I want to go on too. But here," she released her hold on me as she pulled something out of her pocket. "This is a friendship necklace. I have one half and you can have the other."

She placed one half of the heart shaped necklace in my hand. My half was a golden color with the word "Best" embedded in the middle. Along the side, my name was embedded in a beautiful font. A little green gem was dangling on the side, as if to be a keychain.

"That's Olivine, it's actually a mineral, but it's really pretty isn't it?" Xero explained.

Xero's half was also a golden color, but her's had the word "Friends" embedded in the middle. Along the side, her name was embedded in a beautiful font. A little blue gem was dangling on the side of her's too.

"This gem is a sky blue topaz, it's my favorite gem. Oh, the gems won't fall off or get lost, they're bound by magic!" She smiled.

"Xero..." I started as she placed my half around my neck. "Thank you... will I ever see you again?"

"Of course you will. You know me now by a different name, so please use that name when we're in public."

"Why?" I questioned.

"... My master forbids me to answer that... but, we'll meet again! Sleep with Fluttershy from now on okay? Oh, and you need to wake up."

"What?"

Then I was back in my room, as if nothing ever happened.

~~

I sat up and felt my lips. Those kisses felt so real, as if that actually happened. There was only one way to figure that out...

I patted my neck to see if my half of the necklace was there. To my surprise, it was glistening back at me, gem and all. I held it in my hand and whispered her name. Somewhere around the world, Xero is out there waiting for me. I will find her, and I will question her.

"Little Birdie?" Gil whispered through my door. I quickly tucked the necklace in my sleep shirt before he opened the door.

"Y-you're up early," I commented.

"Jou too" he said back.

Then he walked over to my bed and scooped me up.

"I-I can walk y-you know," I reminded as I rubbed my eyes.

"I know, but we have to vake up Birdie~"

Why are we up before Mattie? He's always up first...

So Gil carried me into Mattie's room. Mattie was covered up in blankets and pillows, I think that he's going into isolation...

There was a washcloth and a bowl of water on his nightstand. Gil must have been here all night tending to his care.

Gil placed me on Mattie's bed next to his body. I gently shook him and started calling his name.

"M-Mattie~ Mattie~ wake up! It's m-morning!" I called.

"Mmmmm... non... non... I don't wanna..." He moaned.

"But Birdie, zhere's a sale on ice cream at--"

"Ice Cream?" Mattie's eyes pierced through the covers.

"Ja, we can go out since it's not as snowy outside," Gil explained.

An intense aura danced through the air.

"... I'll only get up for the ice cream..." Mattie gave in.

Yay~ we can go out! Although... I hate to ask but...

"... W-What's ice c-cream?" I asked with complete caution.

Mattie looked at me like I was crazy as he sat up. Gil was trying to slowly back away from him. I think I triggered something... shieße...

"You don't know what ice cream is?" He slowly asked.

"...No..." I braced for the worst.

"Well, you're still small, there's a first time for everything," He smiled, I could see the madness in his eyes.

I think that Mattie's going insane...

~ In the car ~

I'm dressed in a red and black plaid long sleeved shirt with black pants and black boots that have a white trim. My coat is red and white along with my hat, gloves, and scarf. My necklace is tucked in my shirt, hidden from the world. I picked out my outfit myself!

It's still a winter wonderland outside, but the roads are clear enough to drive on. Gil decided to drive because Mattie still might pass out. He's getting over his massive blushing when he's around Gil. He still hasn't confessed to him though... or to himself.

Everything was going well, until we reached a stoplight. Then a-touch-of-the-moment song came on.

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just want to try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

The light turned green and Gil continued on driving. I'm not quite sure what happened next, but in my mind, I saw images of Xero. Then the chorus came on and the words fell out of my mouth.

"I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it" I sang it with passion.

Then I realized, I kissed a girl... and I liked it... I think...

"How do you know that song?" Mattie asked, looking back at me.

"I-I dunno... Logic..." I couldn't think of anything else.

He was stunned that, that was my response. "That makes no sense..." He awkwardly stated.

"It makes perfect sense!" Gil chimed in.

"... you guys are weird..." Mattie turned back around as I laughed. My laugh is probably really cute to him... maple...

~ In the supermarket ~

I'm sitting in the front of the cart, I'm small enough to fit in it. (I would've made the basket bigger or made myself smaller, I was going to fit in that seat no matter what) We put our coats and stuff in the basket since it's warm in the store. Mattie is pushing the cart in an aisle filled with assorted goods. He said that we needed to do some grocery shopping while we're here. He stopped the basket as something caught his eye. Then he smiled at me, leaned down, and kissed my forehead.

"W-What was that f-for?" I asked as my cheeks became hot.

"You're just so cute," he admitted.

I looked at him and denied it. He only found that as another reason why to call me cute. He began to push the basket again and everything was fine... until he stopped the basket again. This time, he kissed my nose.

"M-Mattie~!" I protested. My face is so red, it matches Mattie's hoodie.

"You're so adorable, your cheeks are so chubby~" He nuzzled my face and I tried to push him away. Good thing no one else is in the aisle right now.

"Mattie s-stop~ or I'll t-tell Gil your s-secret," I persuaded.

This made him stop and look at me, still at close range.

"You'll do no such thing," He became serious.

"You sure aboot that?" I challenged with a tough look.

"You're not going to tell him anything beca--"

"Jou're not going to tell me vhat?" Gil chimed in as he magically appeared behind Mattie.

Mattie froze and tried to act normal. I gave him a look that said 'It's either me or you.'

"It's nothing Gil," Mattie insisted.

Then Mattie started to push the basket to the ice cream section.

"Avoue déjà!" I whispered to Mattie.

"Jamais!" He replied as he got closer to my face. His voice is already so quiet.

"pourquoi ça?" I pressed.

A light blush spread across his face as he thought how to reply.

"vous ne comprendriez pas..." He admitted.

"Essayez-moi," I challenged.

~~

A cool rush of chilled air tangoed with the warm air as Mattie opened the door to the freezer section. Mini tubs of ice cream were clustered together with many flavors. The cool air reached my face and a rush of ecstasy flowed through my veins. I could feel myself relax as the bubbly feeling returned. As Mattie closed the door, my breathing became slow and heavy. As the cool air dissipated, the feeling left my body and Gil seemed to notice my weird actions.

"Jou alright Little Birdie?" Gil asked as he placed a tub of ice cream in the basket.

"Y-Yeah, that always h-happens with cool a-air," I admitted.

Although, I wonder why this doesn't happen when I'm outside in the cold. There's cold air in winter time... so many questions.

"Nein Birdie! jou can't buy zhat much ice cream!" Gil stopped my train of thought.

Mattie had arms full of ice cream, maple ice cream. Gil pulled the basket over to him, then he tried to talk Mattie out of buying so much ice cream.

"But, but... ice cream..." he pleaded.

"We don't have enough space in zhe freezer for zhat much," Gil wasn't giving up.

"We'll just place the rest outside."

"Vhat if spring comes early? It'll melt!"

"We'll... um... ... ... b-but Gil~" Mattie whined, "It's on sale~ and it's ice cream, maple ice cream, you don't understand it's importance~" Mattie said it's name as if it was sacred.

"M-Mattie, put some b-back, we don't n-need all of it," I persuaded.

"You're on his side too?!" Mattie couldn't believe me.

I think that Mattie may have a slight knack for ice cream... Ah! I have an Idea~!

"Put some back," I softly said.

"But..." Mattie's face saddened.

"Mettez un peu de retour," I gave him a stern look.

"Ou quoi?" Mattie replied sarcastically.

I glanced at Gil who was confused at the argument that was going on in front of him. Then I took a deep breath.

"ok ok! Je vais mettre un peu de retour!" Mattie gave in.

Heh heh, he didn't know that I was bluffing~ or was I?

~~

After Mattie paid for the groceries, we gathered in the car to go to this place called The Sugar Shack. All the furniture was made of wood and people were eating some weird foods. Mattie told me that there's a food called Poutine that his people like to eat. Basically, it's french fries with fresh cheese curds and gravy. Gil and I were a little hesitant to try this odd combination of food, but we tried it anyways.

Turns out, I liked it! I also found out that they serve many maple related foods. Maple bread, maple buns, maple bacon, maple beef jerky... so much maple~! They even have some maple products for you to buy, I really like this place.

~~

It happened again... the-spur-of-the-moment-song happened again in the car.

My first kiss went a little like this
(Smooch)
And twist
(Smooch smooch)
And twist
Well my first kiss went a little like this
(Smooch)
And twist
(Smooch smooch)
And twist

My first kiss... was kind of like that...

Gil started to sing along and Mattie was urging him to focus on the road. The he swerved the car on purpose, making Mattie slightly scared and causing me to laugh. Gil looked at me in the rearview mirror and smiled at me before he looked back at the road.

"Gil!" Mattie whined, "Don't do that..." he sighed in relief after Gil was aligned with the other cars.

A stoplight appeared and all the cars were at a standstill. Once we were given a green light, Gil started to speed up and Mattie became wary of Gil's actions. Gil took a quick glance at me and I could feel a grin tug at my face. Gil gassed the petal once the road was clear enough and Mattie yelped.

"Gil slow down! We're going to crash!" Mattie was holding onto the thing on top of the car.

"It's okay Birdie! I drive like zhis all zhe time on zhe Autobahn! Kesesese~!" Gil's signature laugh made me crack up like a maniac.

I trust Gil in this situation, but Mattie looks like he's going to die. I like these people, they're so much fun!
