Pick a feather

"So, what do you usually do?" he asked her.

"Oh, well I'm a writer, and I'm kind of good at magic." she smiled.

"I can show you some!" she laughed, and levitated a lamp, three pictures, the refrigerator, and herself, and replaced their spots, and then switched them back.

"Wow!" he gasped.

"Yeah, well just good enough." she giggled.

"What do you do instead of mailing?" she asked him.

He listened closely to her question, and sighed. "Nothing, really. It turned into my life when I joined the business."

"Awh, I bet you have lots of money." she told him.

"I.." he never payed attention to how much money he had, he probably had about ten thousand bits in his cloud drawer at home. He was glad he locked the door.

"I probably do." he told her.

"Do you have any bedrooms?" he asked her.

"Only one." she told him. They both automatically blushed and looked away.

"I have an inflatable..." she reassured him he would get somewhere to rest.

"Okay, thanks."

They both looked outside at the sunset, and blushed. The sunset looked like a sparkling orange, blue and purple heart rushing through the sky and down. The clouds began to swirl and wrap around the moon that was now falling to the place where the sparkling heart was. The sunset was over.

"So you say you're a writer?" he asked.

"What do you write about?" he continued questioning.

"Oh, well just normal life, adventures, times, where I'd like to be." she answered kindly.

"I'm getting kind of tired." he told her. "Should I sleep in this living room, or..?"

"The inflatable can be in the front of my bed." she replied, with a long yawn afterwards.

They both went into the room, and she turned on the inflatable, and he laid on it. The night was getting longer, but neither of them could sleep. He looked up out of the window. He thought of how he never thought about love before two days ago.

"Can you sleep?" she asked him.

"No, I really can't." he replied.

He got up and crawled to the right side of her bed and put his shoulders on the bed and stared at her. She blushed. "Thanks for taking me in for these three days." he kindly thanked her. "Your welcome." she looked down at him.

"Hey, if that inflatable is uncomfortable... you can er, get in this bed." she offered.

"Sure." he got in the bed, and looked at her.

They stared at each other, and smiled.

"Amethy-" he was going to speak but he was interrupted by her.

"Special, I really like you, and... would you like to go out to dinner sometime...?" she asked him.

"I was going to ask you that, and yes!" he exclaimed, and hugged the mare.

It was the middle of the night, and they began to kiss, Special licked her tongue and she blushed, she pushed him away and they were only awake having fun the rest of the night.

In the morning they were both in awkward positions. "Guah!" Special awoke with his arm around Amethyst's lower torso, mouth in crotch area, he rolled over and fell off the bed, which awoke Amethyst.

"Ouh!" he grunted.

"Wh-what happened?" Amethyst Star looked down at him.

Special looked at the box of condoms on the desk by the bed.

"Nehhh?" he was confused, but he did remember last night.

They went out for a walk together, as it was a clear, sunny day, and they didn't forget the awkward moment of the earlier morning. They looked at the houses, they looked nice, they both knew that they wanted to share their lives together, but neither of them had the courage to say it, They grabbed snacks from the Hay Barrel, and had a picnic. They have only known each other for two days but they are already in love. When their date is over they bump into Noteworthy.

"Special?" he looked at the mare. "You're with Sparks now?" he asked him.

"Sparks?" Special didn't know what he was talking about.

"Me and Noteworthy were buddies in school." she told Special.

"Oh. Yes, I'm with Amethyst now..." he reassured Noteworthy.

"You're marri-" Noteworthy was going to ask if they were married, but Special knew what he was going to ask.

"No, we're just dating." he explained.

"Oh, best wishes that you do get married!"

As they walked around the town they saw all the ponies they rarely talked to. They sat down at a romantic spot, the peak of Ponyville Hills, they watched the moon rise, a sparkly sunset before it. They were happy. In just one day, they could actually get together. Maybe Special would propose, she thought. He was planning to. He really does love her. He wants to.

They woke up to a nice morning, and they went to use the blimp to fly to his home. His leg was better after they went to the hospital to treat the injury. His wing was still healing. When they were in the blimp ride, they didn't know it was going to be as romantic as it was. They snuggled the whole time going up the blimp, and they finally stopped at the home.

I wanted to like this, the pairing alone hooked me. It's one of the many unusual ships I really want to see more of. It's just going way too fast and that's killing any emotional investment.
