After I had taken all the gifts I went home to tell my family about it, my sister didn't believe it and I had no idea what my parents were thinking because of their illness. I was ready for tommorrow, the day I would be leaving for my journey. That night I snuggled up in my bed and sighed, I looked out the window and saw the stars, they were amazing, then I saw Luna's black figure coming towards ponyvill and when I put my head on my pillow again, I instantly fell asleep.


The next day, I got ready quickly and said goodbye to my family, I got out of the house and flew to the train station, 3 times the speed I normally go, because of those shoes Applejack gave me,I guess they work if you fly too.

At Canterlot, I had to take the train ride back to ponyville with two guards assisting me,they took me to infront of the Everfree forest, and all they said was"goodluck," and left me alone.

All alone. I took a deep breath and entered the forest, quietly. Every now and then I felt somepony was spying on me, but why would somepony else come to Everfree? When the rustling got frequent and the "being-spyed-on" feeling grew more frequent, I started to pull out the sword that Rainbow Dash gave me, and carried it as I walked.
Then, I came across a clearing and hear the rustle behind me, I slowly walked forward and followed the rustle. Then when I came so close to the bush that my sword was buried in the bushes I heard a

"ow!," 

It was from a stallion, I staggered back and out of the bushes came a stallion.

The stallion was a pegusi, had white skin that looked like snow, His hair was like fire, yellow orange and red and gleaming orange eyes.
We stared at each other for about 5 minutes. I was the first one to break the silence.

"Sorry, I hurt you I kind of got scared, anyway, I'm Starlight," I said.

"I'm Blaize, sorry I was spying on you, I just wanted to know why you were here,"

He looked nervously at my sword on the ground, I instantly noticed I didn't put it back into it's socket, I blushed, because I was embarresed. I put it back into it's socket and moments of silence continued.

"Why ARE you here?" Blaize said

I explained why I was here and what I was doing. After I finished, he nodded to say he understood. 
Then he looked nervously at the ground, he took a deep breath and said:

"Can I come along?"

he was looking at the ground in embarressment,I turned red and my heart was thumping. I looked back at him and he was still looking at the ground.

"Sure," I said.

He looked up and thought I was joking, but when he saw I was serious, His eyes brightened up but did not say anything.


"it's getting dark, I have a place we could both stay the night."

I nodded in agreement and I followed him through the bushes and into a clearing there was a small shelter made out of sticks,leaves and weeds. Under the shelter was a small rug made out of stitced up leaves. and underneath that was a floor made out of leaves. He let me get in first then he got under the rug too, I could feel his warmth flowing out of him, and I wished I could snuggle up closer to him, but that would make him embarresed.
I fell asleep slowly, also I have to admit to you, Blaize is kind of cute.
