Sometimes Ponies Are Beautiful. Not In Looks. Not In What They Say. Just In What They Are.
Night Storm yawned, stretching from her good night's sleep. She rolled over on her bed, bumping noses with Sword Right. At first, she was startled, but then began to recall what had happened the night before. Night Storm blushed, shaking her head a little. When she was at her worst, Sword Right was there for her. When she was sad, scared, lonely, and afraid, he never hesitated in the least to be there. Even seeing her as a Changeling, he didn't care.
The love and affection that radiated off of the stallion was warm and delicious, a lovely combo for any Changeling. Her icy eyes fluttered open and closed with a smile as her hole covered hand ghosted across his cheek. The stallion stirred slightly, opening his eyes with a smile. He wasn't even fazed by the Changeling before him. He also hadn't noticed she was naked.
"Good morning, Storm." He smiled kindly.
"M-Morning, Sword." Night Storm replied, blushing a little as she withdrew her hand. "T-Thank you for... Thank you."
"It's my pleasure," Sword Right beamed once more, standing from the bed he made the side of the bed he'd been on like a proper gentlecolt, and kept a kind and gentle upward curve of his lip.
Night Storm got off of the bed, changing into her Unicorn Form, her usual clothes in black with white suspenders now present. The cobalt mare made the rest of the bed with a slight smile, fluffing the pillows as the sheets were finished. The two locked eyes for a moment before Night looked down, tracing her right hoof on the carpet.
"Would you... like to stay for some breakfast?" Night asked, a small blush on her features.
"Sure, that would be nice. Thank you."
Night Storm led him to the kitchen, turning the stove on. She made him sit down on her comfy sofa as she cooked, also turning on the radio for him to listen while she cooked. It was on her favorite station, 55.9 All Time Classic. As she looked at the Unicorn stallion, she spoke again.
"D-Do you want a different station?"
He shook his head. "No, 55.9 is my favorite."
"It's mine too!" Night smiled, trotting over to the pantry. "Now you just sit tight and relax and I'll make some pancakes."
Without an acceptance of his disapproval, she began to cook. She got the batter and measuring cups out, a pan, and some butter. Time marched on as the radio played various well known songs, some of them sung along by the duo. Night made four perfectly round pancakes and cleaned up her mess, putting them on two plates. She looked at it in wonder before getting syrup and putting some in a pool on her plate.
"Do you want syrup?"
"I'll have it in a pool next to the pancakes." Sword smiled.
Night nodded and poured the syrup, putting the bottle away after enough was poured. She gave him a plate and held hers, dipping the pancake in the syrup and biting, dipping and biting, and so on. Sword right did the same with a smile; his wonderful smile. Once they ate their pancakes, she cleaned them up, putting them in the dishwasher. She trotted over to the stallion, sitting on the sofa.
"What to do now." She said, putting a hoof to her chin. She smiled as she thought of a good idea. "How about we go to the Canterlot Gardens?"
"Are you sure you want to go there, Night?" He asked, trying to dance around it.
Night nodded with a slight smile. "Don't be such a worry wort, Sword. Everything will be fine!"
Sword Right grudgingly nodded, the two of them trotting to the Gardens slowly down the street. The two Unicorns walked down the street, their hands deciding on their own volition to intertwine with the others. Neither had noticed the hand holding until they reached the Gardens.
"Oh, sorry, Sword." Night said, brushing her mane out of her face.
"It's okay... It was nice." He smiled, holding her hand again with another smile.
Night blushed as they continued walking into the Gardens, looking at various statues along the way, making for a perfect date. Once they had gone all around the entire Garden twice, they began walking to Sword's house.
Night noticed the hand holding once again and blushed, looking down. "Sword?"
"Yeah?"
"Is this... Is this a d-date?" Night asked, blushing even harder.
"Only if you want it to be," He smiled, holding her hand slightly tighter.
"What if I... don't want it to be a date?"
He frowned but smiled quickly. "That's okay. But I like you. I can't really tell why yet, but I know I really like you."
Night stopped with a smile, looking up at him and kissing him, then quickly recoiling. "I was hoping you'd say that, b-because I feel the same. I was hoping it was a date."
Sword grinned and pulled her into an embrace, bumping noses with her before kissing her on the lips, their shapely bodies smashed together in a loving embrace and an even more feverish kiss. They parted for breath with smiles and loving gazes at the other, a little saliva traded as dripping down their chins.
They wiped each other's chins and held hands again, beginning their walk to Sword Right's home. They were both happy and content just knowing the other loved them. Once at Sword's home, Night asked another embarrassing question.
"Does this mean I'm your mare friend?"
He replied with another question. "Does this mean I'm your colt friend?"
The duo waited three seconds and in unison spoke. "Yes!"
They ran to the other, lips crashing together in pure love. Night didn't care about food, love, or anything else. All she cared about was the handsome stallion in her embrace and passionate kiss. Sword felt the same; food, water, even air meant nothing to him if he couldn't hold the gorgeous and shapely mare before him in his kiss. He knew she was perfect in every way; from her ears to her breasts to her hips to her hooves. Storm agreed with the thought, thinking of him as excellent from ears to toned chest to hooves.
"My lovely goddess," Sword Right smiled.
"My handsome god," Night Storm smiled back, pressing herself against him lovingly.

Don't do anthro. There is no legitimate reason to do anthro, unless the plot absolutely requires it, and I am pretty sure a changeling x pony romance isn't going to absolutely require anthro.

4653360 Uh, well, it's not really your story, is it? I mean, it's my story, I can do whatever I want, so... yeah. If you don't like it, leave me alone. Just go if you can't admire the story for what it is.
4653360 Also, does 'Don't Hate, Appreciate' mean anything to you?
4653393 I actually do like your fic, it is just that anthro is frowned upon normally, and going anthro would put off a lot of potential readers, that is why I said not to do anthro.
~Crystalline Electrostatic~

Just because you have a hateboner for anthro doesn't mean every single person on the website does.
Authors shouldn't have to cater to people, they write what they want. Some people will hate it, some people will love it, but it's not the author's problem. If you don't like it, don't read it, simple as that.
4657369 Thank you Makes me happy to know people like you are still in the world~
4657369 I actually don't really mind anthro, so no 'hateboners' here. I was just informing him that the community generally dislikes anthro unless there is a legitimate reason for it.
~Crystalline Electrostatic~
4657565
How do you know that? Did you conduct a survey?
In any case, it doesn't matter. Like I said, who cares if they dislike it?
4657581 I didn't do a survey, but I have been on here long enough to know what is popular and what isn't. Not to mention the fact that I have talked shop with various fanfiction writers and they have all told me that anthro is generally a bad idea if you want a decent following.
It really doesn't matter if he goes to anthro or not, but if he does, he could lose a few readers, and should be prepared in for that eventuality.

I've been here for a long time as well, you're the first person I've seen complaining about anthro.
Every author will lose a few readers every time they publish a story, no matter what it's about.
If they let that stop them nothing would ever get published.
But in any case, this whole conversation is pointless. Let's just stop arguing and let the lady focus on her story.
(also, author, you might want to add the Romance tag)
4657612 Okay, listen, I've been sugarcoating everything up to here, and you're pissing me off. One, I am a girl. Two, I don't give a shit what you think. Three, I am NOT on here for followers, I'm on here for good stories and to write. If you do not become a decent person and comment a bitchy ass comment about Anthro being 'bad' or however you put it, you are going to find yourself blocked. Have a lovely day and stop whining, or fuck off. :)
4657676 [hugs you] Thank you for being so kind, I'll put a romance tag on it too :D Also, you are a great person and I hope that other person becomes a decent enough individual. Thanks for backing me up back there
4658141 First, I was having a conversation with somebody else. Secondly, I didn't realize you were a girl, so sorry. Third, I was talking about readers, not followers. And fourth, I wasn't whining or complaining, I was having an intelligent conversation about the popularity and general dislike over anthropomorphic characters.
On a different note, what part of my well thought out and intelligently written comments do you consider 'bitchy ass'? Because I thought I was having an intelligent discussion, not 'whining' as you put it. Also, I feel like I am a decent person, after all, I have a solid moral standing and several good friends.
~Crystalline Electrostatic~
4658197 Oh, really? How about you talk to that person somewhere else instead of my stories where I can see it, huh? This is MY story, I have the right to talk to anyone on here and say whatever I want. You know why? IT'S MY FUCKING STORY. Either enjoy the story and stop commenting, or you will be blocked. This is your LAST warning. If you wish to continue speaking to anyone here on this page or any of mine, be respectful and don't say shit such as: the general don't like anthro. I don't give a fuck. So either be kind to me and everyone, or be blocked. Again, last warning!
4658141
I understand what you're saying, but honestly that was bit harsh. If they're making you angry it's best to either ignore them or tell them to go away. There's no need for personal attacks.
4658216 I guess you're right. I was just fired up a bit in the heat of the moment However, I have had enough of their 'knowledge' about anthro stories. I'm done with it, so I lashed out. Oh well.
In any case, moral of the story: writers write what they want, the demands of the public shouldn't matter.
Also, I just realized I never commented on the actual fic. I read this chapter earlier, and like I said, extremely fast paced.
But honestly that doesn't really detract from anything in my opinion, it's pretty nice and cute as is. Love it.
4658254 *blush* Oh, well, thank you!! Means a lot to me! I already have the next chapter written, I'm just proofreading it to see if I like it. Honestly, it is fast-paced, but I like it better this way. It just feels... natural, in one word. It feels like I can type whatever I'm feeling on my computer and they become my characters. To me, this is a great way to relieve stress.
4658214 Whoa, calm down for a moment, I was never being unkind to you, and I never said that there was anything wrong with anthro, just that most people tend to ignore fics that have that tag. Either way, that doesn't give you the right to curse me out when I was being perfectly respectful, and if you are going to block me, then so be it.
Also, I never said that I didn't enjoy the story, much to the contrary, I said that I did like this story decently enough to add it to my favorites list.
