The sphinx pony motioned on the dirt road, towards the house of a certain human friend she had. She looked around the landscape idly while walking, glancing at the trees, the bushes, and the hills in the far background. From her point of view she could also see Canterlot, but it looked more like a white dot than anything else.

Humming softly to herself, she went towards her destination; anon’s house (He said he was called Generic Messy Hair Anime Anon, but no way any soul in Equus were going to call him like that, so everybody called him anon), she wasn’t going there for anything particularly important, unlike last time, she was just visiting him and hoping she could atleast spend some time with him.

She also wondered if that snake pony of before… wait… no, they’re called lamias, she was clear they weren’t snake ponies, but still, she was wondering if that blue lamia with magenta eyes and orange hair was going to be there, because the last time the Sphinx visited and said noodly lamia was there, she had a lot of fun with cuddling the gigantic Sphinx (‘Gigantic’ Relative to both anon and the lamia, though it could be disputed which one was bigger considering the lamia’s long & schlong tail), but also the lamia had quite a lot of fun with cuddling with, verbatim; ‘Such humongous mass of fluffiness and warmth’. Now she actually wondered her name…. Kaltrop? Kaliber? It was something starting with Kal…

After some while of thinking what was the name of the lamia pone, the cream Sphinx finally reached her target location. She looked at the house, nothing to be envious of, but neither nothing to hate of it. The green door that blocked the entrance being the last step to enter anon’s home.

She proceeded to pick the handle with one of her paws, wondering why in the name of Horus Equestrians used those knobs, she had paws that could easily grip on the bulbous surface, but she didn’t want to know what kind of problems an Earth Pony that just had their hooves as backup would have.

In any normal circumstance, she would’ve knocked the door, but this time anon was sweet enough to tell her she could go inside anytime, just to be careful with getting stuck in the doorframe, and that she didn’t need to knock, so, with those indications, she just shrugged, intent on proceeding inside the building, and opened the door.

Just as she started opening the door, her sharp cat ears heard some kind of hurry in the other side, as something reached the door running and… stood there? She wasn’t a bat pony to know what exactly happened using only her audition, but she imagined it was anon about to greet her…

…And… that wasn’t exactly what happened… to say the least…

What she did find wasn’t a human anon with brown messy anime hairdo, a green shirt, gray pants, and seemingly a complete inability to find new clothes other than those, but instead was a… pony? She was lying on the floor right in front of the door with some kind of sultry pose that screamed silently ‘DRAW ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH PONIES’, and, as the cherry of the sultriness, she had some bedroom eyes, looking directing at the Sphinx.

Upon noticing the feline guest, she smiled, the yellow insides of her mouth visible and confirming said guest that this pony wasn’t a normal one, unless ponies had yellow insides by default. “Hellooooo, and welcome to Anon’s house…~” she said with some kind of sensual voice of sorts. “Oh… I see you’re big… I like that…” she said, making a gesture of a cat clawing while saying ‘Meowr’.

…The Sphinx, meanwhile, blushed lightly at the teasing of the pony, unsure how to react “Um… I’m not sure how to react…” she said honestly, looking at the pony lying down in front of her. “Er… hello? Is Anon inside? Can I go in?” she asked, wondering if this pony fell in love with her.

“Oh, Anon is out for shopping, he told me he needed to buy some stuff for… a Paprika… or Canella guest… is that you?” She said, the Sphinx seemed slightly annoyed she was called ‘Paprika’, and promptly corrected her “Canella, yes. So…. Can I go in?” she asked again.

“Oh, sure dear, just… wipe off your hooves on me… Er… paws” She said, and that single comment seemed to cause a critical hit on the Sphinx, because she just got utterly confused of the request. “Uh… I beg your pardon?” she politely asked.

“Wipe off your paws on me before entering… like… a doormat” The pony repeated, seemingly confused herself that this Sphinx didn’t knew basic manners before entering a house, but she did knew, it’s just that…

“I mean… You’re a pony… I really don’t feel comfortable doing so…” The humongous Sphinx said truthfully, shortly afterwards adding “Also… I’m a bit heavy… don’t want to hurt you”.

“Oh, don’t worry about that, I can’t be hurt. And I’m not a pony, I’m a doormat” The smaller pony said, abandoning her sultry pose but still lying down on the ground, positioning herself so that the Sphinx could place her paws on her back.

“No… you’re a pony? You have… mouth… head… hooves… eyes… fluff” she listed, pointing out the reasons why this pony was a pony and not a doormat. The latter looked at her and giggled, then explained herself “Oh dearie, I’m not a pony, I’m a doormat… what people usually call ‘Object ponies’, well, I’m a doormat pony. As for having a mouth… well… I have sanitizing saliva so I can clean myself if my master is busy, and the fluff is for removing dirt off hooves and paws, but otherwise I’m a doormat”

“Oh…?” The cat-pony said, trying to figure out what was going on, after a few seconds of deep thought, she looked at the pon-doormat again. “Well… I… still… don’t feel comfortable stepping on you… I mean… that would be mean…” she said, worried about the doormat. Said doormat seemed to change her expression to one of disappointment and sadness. “Well… that’s my purpose in life…. I kinda don’t have purpose otherwise…” she said, looking down. “Nobody wants to step on me… nobody likes me…”

“Oh… I… well… maybe I’ll… ahem… Swallows clean my paws on you next time…” she said, feeling awkward for saying that sentence out loud, but also feeling sad for this poor object pony that couldn’t do her job. “But right now… I… You kinda surprised me and… I kinda have to think now…” she said, not being able to find out the correct words to convey her sentence correctly.

The doormat pony, meanwhile, seemed to get lit up by the Sphinx’s first sentence, looking at the Sphinx with starry eyes “You would?” she confirmed, and clapped her hooves together, smiling all the way. “Well, you can go in, I’ll clean the dirt on the floor afterwards” she motioned towards the inside of the house, standing and pointing with a hoof.

“Thank you!” The Sphinx said gleefully, finally proceeding inside after that debacle, the doormat accompanying her to the living room of the house. “You’ll have to wait for a bit, I’m not sure what he went out to buy, but he said he had many things to buy and… well… the mall is quite far away…” the doormat noted, looking at the Sphinx.

“Oh, I don’t mind” Canella said, taking place in the middle of the living room, and being careful of not bumping anything in the process because of her large figure. “Do you want to do anything?” the crème cat pony asked towards the doormat pony, who was her only companion right now.

“Well…”

——-

GMHAA came from the mall, two bags on each hand, for a total of four bags, and on his backpack he also had more stuff he bought, he was thankful of the generous Equestrian offers and discounts that allowed him to buy such copious amount of stuff with just some bits.

He reached his home and opened the door with a little difficulty, proceeding to somehow turn the knob enough to unlock the door and then give it a little kick so it opens fully, unable to do much with his bag-full hands.

He was a bit curious that the doormat pony wasn’t there waiting for him; she was pretty much like a cute dog pony of sorts, always patiently waiting for her master (Even though GMHAA repeatedly told her to not call him master, also, she was more like a c at than a dog anyways), and as such, he looked around….

…And he saw something that was surprising, funny and random, at the same time… like a Pinkie Pie…

There was Canella, the Sphinx he invited over to do fun stuff, gently sitting on the floor of the living room. And right under her, pressed by the weight of the gigantic Sphinx, there it was the doormat pony she was wondering about, only her head and one of her front hooves peeking out of the Sphinx’s massive body.

“Oh, hi master!” The doormat pony was quick to say when he spotted the human walking through the door, she blushed a bit, noticing her stuck position, and smiled. “We were… um… waiting for you… and we decided to… cuddle… I’m very fluffy and soft… Like a plushie…” she said, a bit embarrassed, Canella nodding at her affirmation that she was fluffy and soft.

“Do you want me to get off you?” Canella asked with all the sweetness of the world, looking down at her trapped snuggle victim that was squished under her. “Um… no… if that’s okay… I like this… You’re comfy…” the doormat pony said, smiling and stuttering slightly by embarrassment, Canella shrugged and looked back at anon, who was confused still of the whole ordeal but he had to admit it was cute as hell…

“So… what were you saying about… um… the time you were with Anon and Kalianne?” asked the squished pony, intent on keeping on with the conversation that GMHAA rudely interrupted, the human just shrugging and proceeding to put the bags inside.

“Oh, yeah! Well, we were both peacefully chatting… until the lamia nation attacked… and it brought cuddles with her” Sphinx said, giggling at her reference, and intent on following the nice conversation they both had….

A silly drawing I did of a doormat pony that just came to my mind after seeing Badumsquish’s object ponies, and also after seeing the ‘Monster pony on the door’ ones and wondering “What’s on the other side of the door?”.

I hope this doesn’t break any kind of rules or some kind of stuff that angers Badum, but I just had this silly idea and decided to make it reality, though I’m pretty sure Badumsquish would’ve done a better job than me at depicting a ‘Doormat pony’ other than my attempt at a pony that looks like a doormat.

The background is based on the tons of pics Badumsquish did about GMHAA’s house interior, and things like the color of the door, floor and walls are based off the colors he also used (Though of course I have more difficulties with my color pencils D:)
