A surprise request and a friendly face

“....464, can you repeat that?”

“Oh, well her holiness wants t-”

“Her Holiness!”

Just like that I found myself running out the garden and through the greenhouse wing of the divine palace, actually I made sure to run back and do something before I left.

“Thanks 464, have a nice day!”

“Oh, you to Cherry!”

With that I ran off again, come to think of it I wonder what’s up with that. Usually we Cherubs are called by a number, representing when we were born. However, I was given the nickname of Cherry by her holiness despite being a Cherub. Since it was a nickname however I haven’t ascended to an angel just yet. That said, I can't wait to become an angel! Their wings and armor are so cool! Enough of that though, let’s see what her holiness needs.

****

“*Huff Huff* Oh dear, I must be late at this point. I hope her holiness won’t be upset with me!”

There I was running down the halls to the throne room. It's been a few minutes so I should be fine. Still, this is the holy mother we’re talking about, I can’t just leave her there waiting. On the bright side I should be get-

“Oomph!”

“Gack!”

While making a sharp turn around the corner I managed to bump into someone, that was a loud thud I hope I didn’t hurt them.

“Sorry about tha-”

“Hey idiot! Watch where you’re going! Do you not know who I am!”

Eek! I must’ve made this person upset, maybe if I promise them a batch of my homemade lemon squares they’ll cheer up a bit. Yeah, that always works-Wait, that voice, I heard that voice somewhere before. Did I bump into someone I know?

“Jeez, can’t an ange-Why am I not surprised! Of course I bumped into little Miss Defect!”

“That voice…Wait, can it be-!”

I looked up to finally see who I bumped into, only to see a woman around my height glaring at me. That violet hair, those sharp gold cat like eyes, those sharp teeth! I’m such a dummy, how could I forget!

“Despa! It’s you!”

“Of course it is, you have head problems 1074!”

To the outside eye it would look like Despa is bullying me, especially by using my birth number instead of my nickname. However, she’s just messing around, I don’t mind it at all. After all we’re-

“Sissy! You’re finally back home from bootcamp!”

“Wha-Hey stay back!”

I pounced towards Despa trying to hug her, leading her to jump to the side in order to escape. She grinned for a moment thinking she escaped, but was terrified when I returned the same grin. I then chased her around the hallway, until she eventually ran low on breath. That’s when I gave her my strongest death hug, she began screaming in delight.

“Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me go you psycho! What will people think if they saw me with you!”

“They’d think we’re the most adorable, sweetest sisters ever conceived!”

“Shut up you brat! You’re number 1074 and I’m 1073! I was just born first, there’s no relation!”

“But Sissy-”

“Don’t Call Me Sissy, You Obnoxious Siscon!”

Despa finally pushed me away, she then took in some deep breaths. I offered to go grab her some water but she refused, still I’m so happy to see her. We Cherubs are born from a pool of liquid we call Spring of Life. As Despa said, she was born first and I came after. I don’t remember much of those days, but from what I hear and the little pieces I do remember, apparently when I was born I walked out and clung onto her. I’ve been like that with her ever since, Despa used to reciprocate my love openly too! However, we’re adults now so she’s been trying to act mature. Speaking of maturity, I looked at Despa’s white robe and noticed the intricate pattern they had. What really caught my eye though was the gold medal she now wore, it was the symbol of angelhood. I’m so proud of her, she’s so proper and cute!

“Hey! What’s with that stupid look on your face? Wait, I get it you’re looking at my angel medal right! What’s wrong, jealous!”

“Aw shucks, I could never be jealous of you.”

“Nonsense, look at me! My wings have sprouted, my robes are now gilded, I have the medal of proof, and that’s not all!”

Despa began making a pose as if to show off her figure.

“I’m all slim and attractive unlike you, come on don’t be shy now!”

“Wow sis, you’re so well toned! You must’ve worked your butt off again.”

“Yeah I did, you wouldn’t believe the torture I went through at training- Hey don’t compliment me!”

There’s nothing cuter than my sister’s blushing face when she’s embarrassed, I love you so much Despa!

*Tremble*

Eh! Why am I trembling all of a-Oh I’m all worked up aren’t I! My body began slimming down to my natural appearance.

“Thanks sis, our game of tag helped me slim down again.”

“D-Don’t you thank me, and don’t act like we’re equals or anything!”

Despa crossed her arms and acted like she was annoyed as she stared at my normal state, hehe you must’ve missed seeing me like this right. As if she heard me, Despa turned and began puffing her chest out with pride.

“Well we might be matched with figures, but I have more in this department!”

“Oh! If you mean the heart then I have a bunch of love there too!”

“That’s not what I meant moron!”

Despa ran and slammed into me, we began playing sumo like we did when we were kids. I haven’t had so much fun in a while!

“...What are you ladies doing?”

““Eh?””

We turned our gaze towards a tall man with brilliant wings and golden armor, this man is was one of the strongest angels currently in Celestria.

“Hey Kirry!”

“...*Sigh* Good afternoon Cherry, you do realize that our lady has been waiting for you?”

“Oh right, sorry I was playing with si-”

“Oh My Gah!”

I nearly jumped hearing the high pitched screech from beside me, I turned my gaze to see Despa covering her completely red face. Oh yeah! I forgot she was like this!

“Hey Kirry-”

“It’s Kiros Cherry.”

“Right, can we bring Despa along with us. It’ll be nice to spend a little time with her as we walk.”

“Your play time is irrelevant, but it would be good for Despa to greet her holiness now that she’s returned.”

“W-what!”

Despa uncovered her face, revealing a human tomato. Kiros turned and motioned to us, I walked up to her and elbowed her.

“Come on sis, this is your chance!”

“What are you-Eek! Y-You little rat!”

Despa started panicking as she sped over to Kiros, nervous to speak to him. Come on sis, you’ll never get your crush to like you if you're like this. Just like that we made our way down to the throne room.
