Glitch Girl

Bonnie listened to Honidesu's whole story with genuine interest, covering her mouth with her hands in shock: "I can't imagine how hard it was for you, and I'm sincerely sorry that you had to pretend to be someone else. But know that I'm always on your side! You have every right to live, just like any other person!" "Even if I had to kill a person?" Honi asked in tears, her voice trembling with bitterness. "You needed to save your life, and that's important!" Honidesu tried to calm down, but the tears continued to roll down her cheeks, as if they didn't want to stop. Zhmak, sensitively catching her sadness, lay down on her lap, just like Bonnie, trying to bring at least a drop of comfort. The ginger hugged the girl tightly, as if wanting to protect her from the whole world. "You don't have to pretend anymore! You can be yourself! In any case, I'm ready to help you. Just promise me one thing..." "What is it?" Honi asked, raising her head slightly. "I know it's hard, but please try not to blame yourself for what happened. It's not your fault. You didn't choose the life you have, and you don't deserve to live in constant fear. You deserve to be happy, and I'll try my best to make sure that you are!" After the hug, Honi felt lighter in her soul. She hugged Bonnie back and took a deep breath, as if trying to soak up her support. "I'm just so ashamed... I ran away without even saying goodbye to Henry. Janet sacrificed her job for me..." "Don't blame yourself for it, Honi. You had no other choice then. Don't worry, I'm sure Janet and Henry don't blame you..." "Okay... Now that you know the truth, what are we going to do? Should we call the police?" "I... think it's best to keep this a secret for now. Let's pretend nothing happened. It sounds weird, but it's our best option right now..." "Okay..." Bonnie decided to check if the lights were back on and pressed the switch. The lights were back on! The ginger sat down next to Honidesu again and said with a smile: "The lights are back on! I think we can go and have a conversation!" "Oh, yeah? Already?" Honi scratched her head, embarrassed. "Time flew by so fast..." "Well, you wanted to cook something, let's go wash up and then go to the kitchen!" Bonnie led Honi to the sink. She washed away the tears that had been flowing for several minutes. "It's okay," Bonnie whispered tenderly. "Everything will be fine." Honi sniffled and looked at her friend. Her eyes were full of gratitude. She hugged Bonnie, burying her face in her shoulder. The ginger hugged her back tightly, rocking back and forth as they stood at the sink. The hug seemed to envelop Honi in warmth and protection. When she finally calmed down, they headed to the kitchen. Honidesu looked around. It was a small, but very neat and comfortable kitchen. The main colors were light green and white. All the kitchen cabinets were painted in light shades. There were several large fresh flowers in pots, which matched the whole interior perfectly and gave it life and lightness. Honi looked at the stove and felt embarrassed. "What's the matter?" the ginger gently touched Honi's hand. "If you just need to learn how to cook, I can teach you!" Bonnie noticed Honidesu blush and turned away from her. "Come on, Honi, let me teach you how to cook! There's really nothing complicated about it. I'm sure you'll learn this in a couple of days! You need to relax, don't worry, I'll be your teacher!" She looked at her friend and tried to cheer her up. "Fine..." Honi looked at Bonnie and tried to find out everything, she was very attentive. It was a really fun and interesting experience for her. At first she was ashamed and had questions about how to do everything right, but gradually she became more confident and independent. It wasn't as difficult as she thought. With Bonnie's help, she almost succeeded! Until Honi's stove and hand almost caught fire and her glitchy powers caused an outbreak! The ginger quickly put out the fire. Bonnie's eyes widened, she was scared, but not angry with Honidesu: "Please be careful, Honi. It was too close... at least you didn't burn your hand..." "I'm sorry!" "No, you don't need to apologize. It was just an accident, it's okay!" Bonnie giggled and hugged Honi's shoulders: "Oh," she laughed, "I'm glad that we were able to overcome our fears together!" Honidesu giggled too. After that, the girls continued cooking, Bonnie helped her friend a lot and gave advice. The positive emotions experienced from cooking put Honi in a good mood for the rest of the evening. She felt like they had become really close friends in some way, and that made her even happier. After dinner, the girls returned to the room and Bonnie decided to turn on the laptop. "What do you want to do?" "Heh, something interesting! You'll like it!" the ginger said enthusiastically. After Bonnie turned on the laptop, she connected it to the TV. While playing music, some text appeared on the screen. "What is this?" "This is karaoke! Let's show off your singing skills!" "I... but I'm shy!" Honi was embarrassed. "Don't be afraid, I think you have a very pleasant and soft voice!" "Let Zhmak do it!" Honidesu took Zhmak and handed it to Bonnie. The cat was five centimeters from the ginger's face. He blinked questioningly and looked into Bonnie's eyes. "No, no, Zhmak has no mouth, you won't get away with it!" Zhmak wagged his tail, Bonnie took him from Honi's hands and put him on the sofa. "Let him better listen to us!" "Together?" "Well, of course!" Bonnie quickly took out two microphones from the nightstand and gave one to Honi: "Do you like rock?" "Well... I don't know, but I think we can try." "Hee hee, come on!" The friends started singing karaoke, they performed the song beautifully and passionately, their voices created an incredible atmosphere: "I'm not afraid of feeling, and I'm not afraid of trying ..." Honi sang from the bottom of her heart, not afraid to feel or try, although there was a slight uncertainty in her voice, but despite the occasional stutter, it had the power to attract attention. "I'm just afraid of losing, and I am afraid of dying! Without you, yes, I do, and I hope that you do too!" Bonnie continued, with a hint of mischief in her tone. She sounded confident as she pointed at Honi and looked at her. "Without you, yes, I do ..." their voices merged together. Zhmak jumped off the couch and began happily running around the girls. When the song ended, Honi looked at Bonnie and smiled at her. "Wow..." she laughed nervously and added, "that was amazing!" "Haha, yes, that's true!" Bonnie exclaimed and smiled back. "I liked singing with you!" Bonnie looked at the time. "Oh, it's already 8 o'clock, I wanted to still have time to buy you a towel! I think now is the time!" Honi walked closer to Bonnie and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Bonnie, for everything," she was so happy. Bonnie hugged Honi back and smiled. "No way! Okay, I'll run, okay?" "Yeah." Bonnie quickly got dressed and left. Honi stayed home with a square fluffy cat, she plopped down on the couch. Zhmak jumped on Honi's legs. She gently scratched the cat's belly. "Heh, what's wrong, Zhmak? Did you have fun too?" Zhmak happily started wagging his tail and closed his eyes while he was being scratched. Honidesu also closed her eyes and began to think about how much fun she had had. Forty minutes later, Bonnie returned and saw Honi and Zhmak in a very cute pose. They were lying together, hugging each other. "What cute kittens you are!" Bonnie laughed and walked up to Honi and put a towel in her hand. "Honi, look, this is the towel I bought for you! And it's blue!" "Ah? Was I sleeping in some strange position again?" Honidesu was embarrassed. "Oh thank you..." "I think it's time to take a shower!" "Together?" "No, what are you talking about!" the ginger laughed. "I don't want to embarrass you!" "Then I'll take Zhmak with me..." "Certainly!" When Zhmak heard what the girls were talking about, he widened his eyes and raised his tail. Honi was surprised. "Zhmak, I hope you don't mind taking a shower to freshen up!" the girl giggled and took him with her. Bonnie showed Honi where everything was and what to use, and left her in the shower alone with Zhmak, who, no matter where he was, was still happily wagging his tail. Honidesu undressed and put her clothes in a basket, went into the shower stall with the square cat and turned on the shower. She squatted down as the water tapped pleasantly on her back. Zhmak didn't mind the water and snuggled up to Honi. The girl enjoyed the feeling of freshness and purity that penetrated her every cell. The water flowed down her slender form, emphasizing the natural beauty of her body. She gently touched Zhmak, feeling his soft fur. Honidesu closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the water that enveloped her. With each passing moment, she became more and more aware of her attachment to reality, to this world where she could enjoy such simple but beautiful moments. This was her first shower.  When the time was up, Honi turned off the water and carefully wrapped the towel around her body. She felt fresh, full of energy and ready to take on new challenges in this wonderful world. The girl looked at herself in the mirror and saw her wet hair and Zhmak, who began to shake himself funny, which made her smile. Honi changed into clean home clothes that her friend shared with her. With Zhmak in her arms, she left the bathroom, leaving behind a scent of freshness.  Then it was Bonnie's turn. About thirty minutes later, the ginger came out of the shower and sat down on the sofa with Honi and Zhmak. "So, you will have to sleep on the couch with me, and Zhmak too! I think you're okay with that, don't you? That is, it will only be a dream, nothing more!" Bonnie scratched the back of her head and giggled nervously. "I simply have no other options, the armchair, unfortunately, is not folding..." "Yes, of course, everything is fine," Honi smiled. When it was time for bed, Bonnie unfolded the sofa and made the bed, with Honidesu helping her as well. Zhmak jumped up to the girls and lay down comfortably at their feet. "Good night, Honi! Good night, Zhmak!" "Good night..." Honi smiled and closed her eyes.
