If you ask any normal manehood on all of Exteria if they knew what a "Snoreday" was, they'd probably snicker and say something along the lines of "I don't know, a day where you sleep?", and they'd be kind of right. If the manehood answers something like "Maybe it's best you ask Patzy about it" though, that doesn't mean they don't know the answer, just that Lezbopata is a very particular manehood, specially when it comes to things they just made up. "Snoreday" had been their latest and, according to them, most creative invention yet! It meant that every sunday (or snoreday) they would not work, they would not study, they would not do a single thing that didn't include listening to their partner's snores and cuddle with them.


A brilliantly overexplained excuse to take sundays off, as most people do, but Lezbopata refused to be most people, this manehood woke up everyday determined to be remembered for one thing only: its lesbianism. So every sunday was snoreday, and every snoreday it would check which of its partners would take the day off with it, and it'd all be swell. Except when they aren't taking the day off of course.


Now you'd think, that's absurd right? It's not just snoreday it is a sunday for crying out loud! However my dear reader you have to understand something that our dear Lezbopata has to come to terms with here: Other manehoods, very often, had lives and were just busy people, with jobs and everything and yes! Some manehoods work on sundays. A shame really, clearly Lezbopata failed to consider this day could come, one where it would run out of partners to phone (it had a pretty big net of partners and relationships, so that's understandable) and now, it had to figure out what to do with that failure of a snoreday, kind of hard to snore on your own when everyone else is off doing something.


Lezbopata looked out the windows of paws apartment, luce was at it's peak outside and the sky was so shiny and clear, it was almost screaming for the fluffy creature to just go outside already, frustrated, paw sighed, paw guessed paw could snore outside along with the sounds of nature, and the few clouds in the sky would be the soft beds of paws naps and the chilly autumn breeze would be paws lover. Alright! Paw grabbed paws things, quickly brushed paws hair and put on a simple change of clothes, and off paw went. Maybe from an outsider's perspective you'd find it a bit sedentary of Lezbopata to not go outside so often, specially on such pretty days. Worse, you'd find it a big red flag how Lezbopata often straight up refuses to leave without company, but they had a good reason for this really, and they had just remembered it as they stepped outside, a bit nervously, about how intense sensory-wise things could be, the noises the light, and if they had an episode all alone it would be a pain. No, focus, the manehood thought, they would NOT have this snoreday ruined, with a bit of quick thinking, they headed to the academy, people would mostly be studying there on a sunday so it'd be the perfect place to relax!


It didn't take too long for Lezbopata to arrive there, and what a relief that was, paw felt all of paw's muscles relax at once as paw settled in to gaze upon the bright blue sky, in and out, paw breathed, paw might be alone but paw would make the most of this day!


At least they thought they were alone, their deep relaxing breaths soon brought in a new scent, another manehood was quite close by and somehow they just didn't notice until now, just a few paw steps from them stood a gray and white small manehood, with long striped fluffs and a short tail that seemed to be manifesting some sort of magic, and true to the manehood's jester appearance, the magic was manifesting many colorful balloons of all sorts of pretty shapes and sizes. Lezbopata was enamored by the colorful show of plastics, and a single thought dominated their mind, they really needed a balloon for themselves. Lezbopata did not wait any longer, it got back up on it's feet very quickly and already faced the small clownish manehood, and without waiting anymore time it proclaimed all at once "Excuse me, are these balloons free?" with a very friendly smile on its face, of course that wasn't enough, the poor fellow was so distracted by their creations they didn't even notice Lezbopata's sudden approach "Whuh what" was all they managed to say in return to the colorful unblinking manehood "The balloons, are they free? I want one, please?" the other manehood was quiet and confused for a few moments more, oh dear, Lezbopata then realized, they had completely forgotten to proceed with the regular conversation script, didn't even introduce themselves! It started to panic, when suddently a white paw showed up in it's point of view, holding a cute heart-shaped balloon "This one seems to match you, hope you like it!"


The sudden shift from awkward conversation to friendly gift trading shifted their feelings of anxiety into excitement as well, but clearly they were still nervous as they grabbed into the balloon's soft plastic with a mighty grip of love, as the manehood begun to babble on "THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE IT IT'S SO PERFECT YOU'RE RIGHT THAT IT FITS ME WHICH IS FUNNY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME AND I DON'T KN-" a loud popping sound interrupted their trail of thoughtless talking, the lovely heart-shaped gift in paws arms was no more. Both manehoods stood quietly staring wide-eyed at the soft remains in Lezbopata's claws for a few seconds that felt like hours, before a soft whimper was heard from paw, and the balloon-summoner started to panic at the sight of the quietly trembling and crying stranger "Ohhh, oh please please no, please don't cry" they pleaded desperately, and soon enough there was another balloon in their paws. Lezbopata let out a last confused sniffle as paw saw that another balloon had been summoned "O-oh..." it started to clean up its face, hold it together it tought to itself "I'm, so sorry for blowing up your previous gift, and for the way I reacted, or acted in general...I sure am bad with first impressions huh?" the last bit was half said to itself "You're- you're very sweet really you shouldn't have..." it extended its shaky paws to grab the new balloon, but the other manehood backed up a bit first "Hey, it's ok! Just...promise you'll be careful with this one, yes?" they seemed to be serious but managed to keep a very upbeat tone to their question, and even giggled a little at the end "Yes! Of course don't worry I...learned my lesson the hard way I guess" and as Lezbopata carefully scooped up the new heart-shaped balloon, both manehoods broke into laughter together.


And then Lezbopata had a violent full-body spasm and the balloon blew up in it's paws again.


Once more, seconds that felt like hours passed, in complete silence, they were both so dumbfounded they had no words. The jester was quicker to react in concern for the colorful manehood though, who this time instead of crying was breathing very heavily to hold it in "It is...snoreday..." paw repeated to pawself as a mantra, confusing the other manehood even more but definitely not more than when suddenly paw proclaimed "I cannot touch a balloon but by the children of the Creator and Created above I WILL have it as mine, make me another one my dear summoner!" said summoner, blinked in confusion but agreed, however Lezbopata this time didn't move to grab it, they took another deep breath as they focused all of their magic and with a pretty spark of their tail and a gentle blow on their paw, Lezbopata threw out the most powerful telepathic kiss they ever remember kissing! So powerful, it left a gentle physical mark on the balloon...but also blew it far far way from both manehoods "OH NO!!! THE BALLOON" the smaller manehood exclaimed, but then stopped as they realized...Lezbopata was in peace...and with a strange wisdom it said "Sometimes...you have to let it go to show how much you love it...I have many distant partners and this balloon has officially entered the list" it chuckled, and then sighed, this was...a lot of sudden stress for what was meant to be a very relaxing day, and a horrible first impression to someone it barely knew...perhaps it'd be best to just go home? Both manehoods were glancing at the sky now, the gray and white one seeming more thoughtful than usual, Lezbopata prepared to say its goodbyes and final apologies when suddenly it realized it was being covered in balloons "Uh" was all paw managed to say before their seemingly newfound friend interrupted "I had an idea, you trust me right???" they asked boldly while summoning more and more balloons, all Lezbopata managed to say was "Okay????" in response, and suddenly they were being wrapped up in balloon strings and, somehow, miracoulously, slowly lifting up with them, the colorful manehood was confused but delighted by the surprise, before paw knew it, paw and the stranger were both getting farther and farther away from the ground "Hahahah, this is a great idea hm...Oh dear but what do we do now??" Lezbopata asked, and with a grin the jester replied "Do your kissing thing and lets fly away too!"


And so paw did, and both soon picked up a wind high above the skies, giggling and yelling in celebration as they went over the academy and explored the skies in ways neither of them probably had ever done before, the luce was slowly reaching lower and lower, the clouds were shy but not really there, the sky was still blue! The fluffy creature knew then, snoreday had been officially ruined, but balloonday was certainly much, much better.


A minutes later though, they just had to ask "You...do have a plan to get back down...right?" And again, there was awkward, awkward silence.

My Balloon by @bellaexclamation (Bella Exclamation Mark)

It's been a long time since I wrote a fictional story, I don't even remember the last time I SHARED something like this, but I've been trying to write more often so as an exercise I came up with something based on a painting of my friend's Manehood OC I made, hope you guys like it :]
