Mint Leaf, a young mare, only sixteen and the newest Cloud RV driver, was very excited! She had just been asked to the Summer Sun Dance by her crush, Diamond Dust. It was lunch time at Equestria High when the mind blowing event occurred!
"So I told her, "You had better back off! I ain't letting anypony put a scratch on my brand new Cloud RV!" She just gave me the most ridiculous look! Like, she was so mad that her eyes went all crossed!" Mint said to her friend, Rain Cloud. They shared a laugh when a hoof hit her bright turquoise coat. She turned to see a diamond blue unicorn stallion standing there, levitating an icy blue rose in a silvery glow. She lost her blue-ish color to the redness now escaping to her cheeks as her wings tried so desperately to cover her face.
"Hey, um...I was maybe wondering if we could talk alone?" Diamond said, his blue and silver mane covering one of his bright emerald eyes. Rain was nudging Mint as she stood completely frozen in place. Her monster tail whipped around and hit her earth pony friend.
"Woah! Mint your tail's going rouge here!" Rain said, rubbing the new red area on her light orchid-blue coat. Mint shook her head, her spring green and aqua blue mane shaking around with it. Her tail flicked again, but didn't hurt anypony else, much to everyponys' relief.
"Oh goodness, sorry Rain! My tail's gotta mind of it's own sometimes," she quickly apologized, forgetting that Diamond was there. He stared at the scene and looked down at Mint's quite unique tail. She was the only one at the school like that! It was beautiful to look at in Diamond's opinion, but not as beautiful as the mare who owned it. Mint was the first pony that really caught his eye from the get-go. He had just then gathered enough courage to ask her to the dance, though with as beautiful and graceful as she looked, he doubted he'd have his offer accepted. He figured it was worth a shot anyways. "What's a question gonna do anyways? Its not like I'm asking her to marry me or anything major," he thought to himself. he cleared his throat. "Ahem, Mint? So, are you coming?" Diamond said, who had caught himself staring.
"O-oh. Sorry Diamond," Mint said, waving to her friend. "I'll catch up with you later, Rain Cloud!" Mint called back to her.
"Don't take too long you two!" Rain said, winking to Mint. She mouthed "good luck" which made Mint's tail flick again in response.
"Alright. What do you want?" Mint asked Diamond, trying to keep her cool.
"Well, for one thing, I thought you'd like this," Diamond said, a silver glow nearing her head. She didn't move, but instead she just let him do whatever he wanted to.
"Woah! Never thought it was possible, but you look even more beautiful than before," he said after putting the ice blue rose into her mane, making her tail flick around like a happy dog! He put his hoof up to his mouth realizing what he had said. his bright blue face flushed a deep red out of embarrassment as he tried to cover his face with his mane.
"Well...anything else you needed besides flirting!" Mint said, lightly punching Diamond Dust. They laughed, and for the first time around him, Mint wasn't nervous. She felt like she was with an old friend merely catching up on the old times. Although, that didn't change the fact that her face was crimson.
"Alright! Here's the other thing," he said, still chuckling, the red finally subsiding. "I wanted to ask you if you'd go to the Summer Sun Dance with me this Saturday."
Mint's heart skipped a beat, then her tail wagged on hyper drive! She really was a bit like a puppy sometimes! Silly and cute as a button!
"Are you kidding me!? Of course!" Mint squealed, pulling Diamond into a hug. They laughed and talked before finally returning to Rain Cloud to talk.
"Yo Mint? You alright there?" her friend, Autumn Leaves, asked her. He nudged her with his redish gold hooves. He looked back to his girlfriend and dance date, Spring Dancer. Her fully pink eyes were filled with confusion.
"Mint Northern Leaf! Wake up!" Ginger Roots, the algebra teacher, demanded. Everypony in the class room stared as the teacher snapped at the monster pony.
"What!? Where...oh Celestia..." Mint said, realizing she had been daydreaming in Algebra.
"Mint, do your work and don't go daydreaming again! Understood?"
"Yes, ma'am," Mint said, returning to her work.
