If you are going to have the slightest hope of impressing that very special somepony of yours, you’ll first have to get to know her. For example, try and casually and accidentally bump into her one day. Then proceed to help her up and introduce yourself. From there, try and randomly meet here around town over a period of time until a friendship has been struck.
It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. The grass was green, the sky was blue, and ponies were peacefully trotting and flying about. Well, most of them, anyways. “LOOK OUT BELOW!” yelled the cross-eyed, yellow-maned mailmare known as Derpy Hooves, who was quickly plummeting out of the sky towards the Ponyville library. Twilight Sparkle quickly rushed out to see what the commotion was, only to be met with Derpy Hooves and the package she was carrying ramming right into her. “I’m sorry, Twilight Sparkle,” said Derpy, “I just don’t know what went wrong!” “It’s okay, Derpy,” said Twilight, in an oddly cheerful manner for a pony who had just been run over by the mailmare. “We all make mistakes.”
“Aw, thanks Twilight Sparkle,” said Derpy, smiling, and then proceeding to fly away. Twilight smiled back, and then quickly magicked the package inside and shut the door. She untied the strings hastily, and opened her long awaited delivery. Her delivery of, unsurprisingly, books. She looked through the box like a foal would look through their gifts of Hearth’s Warming Morning. She read off the titles to herself as she went through the box: Advanced Magical Techniques: Level 3 by Starswirl the Bearded, Daring Do and the Draconequus’ Fury, The Flim Flam Brothers’ Guide to Wooing the Mare of Your Dreams, Pa-
“Wait a moment,” thought Twilight, moving back to the previous book and actually examining it some. She then realized that this wasn’t a book that she’d ordered, and she most certainly wasn’t going to keep it, why, she didn’t even want it. So she magicked the door open, threw the book outside, and continued going through her box of books. However, the book didn’t stay there for long. About 15 minutes later, Thunderlane the Pegasus spotted the book lying there, and, although he wasn’t much of a reader, decided to pick it up and put it in his saddlebag. And that’s when the chaos began.
