//------------------------------// // Dec 22, 2014 // Story: Canterlot High // by Sailor_Pluto //------------------------------// Sunday, December 22, 2014 THREE MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! I’m practically overflowing with joy! Also, it started snowing today. Luckily, there’s just a few millimeters, so we’re not like, snowed in or anything. Celestia gives me twenty bucks for Christmas shopping, then she comes with me to make sure I find everything okay. For Tiara, I picked up a fur coat that looks like it would be over a hundred bucks. In reality, it was only five dollars. Score! Silver Spoon’s gonna get a fake silver and gold necklace that has a faux sapphire hanging from it. Just so long as she doesn’t figure it out, I’ll be okay… Only two bucks! Apple Bloom will get a set of apple-scented lotions. Another five bucks… I already “borrowed” some of Twist’s candy canes. Free! Rarity will cover Scootaloo and Celestia’s gifts. Also free! With my leftover money, I buy myself a coffee and some weird little peppermint pastry that I’ve never seen before. Celestia leaves a while later, so I just spend some time wandering around the store until they make me leave for loitering. Luckily, the store is attached to a mall, so I meander around there. I go window shopping at a couple of clothing stores and jewelry stores, when I see something… interesting. Button Mash is in the jewelry store. I drop to my hands and knees and peer in through the doorway. He’s buying a beautiful pair of emerald heart earrings. I love emeralds. The clerk puts the earrings in a bag, and the two of the talk for a minute. Then Button starts to walk towards the door. I leap to my feet and hide behind a sign that’s near the store. I watch him walk away, and I decide to follow him. That’s not like, stalking him though. That would be totally creepy. Eventually, he stops and sits down on a bench and puts the bag by his feet. So, I decide…. what the heck? I walk over to him. “Hi Button.” I say super-casually as sweat pours down my face. “Sweetie Belle! Hi!” He says as he pushes the bag under the bench with his foot. “Well,” I cough as I start to perspire even more. “I gotta run. Later!” “Later…?” he says as I run off. December 22, 2014/ Home I sit on the couch in the living room and have a laughing attack while the others stared at me. “Are ya alright, sugarcube?” Apple Bloom asks me. “Yup!” I say louder than is needed. “I saw Button at the mall! We chatted for a while…” my voice starts to move up and down in a strange way. I laugh again to regulate it. Apple Bloom nods slowly. “Right…. is there maybe some medication ya were prescribed ta that ya have taken too much or none of?” I cough and hack for a good five minutes, then shake my head. “Nope! I’m perfectly fine!” I end up going to bed SUPER early that night.
