A good story displays a moral, the best ones attach you to the characters who display them.

Sequels1

You've always admired Princess Twilight's newest student... from a distance. Just about every little thing she did made you smile, if only on the inside.

But, one evening, during one of your calming walks: you discover her alone in the forest, beside your favourite lake.

And... is she... crying?

Now with an amazing YouTube Reading by Sparrow 9264.

Seems like it could be good will read it later

I love it, keep up the awesome work!

I just spotted this. I will check it out later

I resent that comment about cake strangling! That was one time and there were extenuating circumstances!

but seriously, im loving the story

Well this was certainly nice haven't read that many starlight glimmer stories but i liked this one

This was cute, I love it! ( ゚ヮ゚)

Awww I really liked this story! I don't often get to read 2nd person romance fics, but I'm glad I did here! This was really cute! It's comforting to see characters we like get to be happy, because we get to be happy through them. :)

This guy acts like he'd charge twenty bits for a cherry.

Nice reference to the episode where one of the salesponies tries to charge Fluttershy twenty bits for a cherry :P

Groaning at your desperation, you fork over seven bits, and he greedily collects them as he hands over the flowers. Five roses in a purple vase: three pink, one purple, one light blue. The same colors as the most beautiful mare you've ever laid your eyes on.

Awww...I was wondering why that particular color combination. :)

(In-love with Spitfire) I brought you some fire flowers!
*Spitfire eats one and starts shooting fire out of her mouth*

Shaking your head to stir yourself from the unpleasant memories of your past life, you instead try to remember the days since you moved here: the first pony you saw, oddly enough, was the other latest resident, Starlight Glimmer. And you were frozen at the sight of her: that silken pink coat, that luxurious bicolor mane. And of course, the first thing you noticed when you saw her: Those beautiful, breathtaking, shining sapphires that could only be seen in her eyes.

Aw I really like these descriptions that help you, the reader, see what Anon sees in Starlight.

What do you say?
What do you do?
What accent do you use?
Why are you suddenly so nervous?
Why is she so sexy?
What the heck is your brain doing right now?
Say something, dammit!

AHHHHHH this is exactly how it works. :D (You're making me want to write my own story > .< )

You and Starlight became practically inseparable since then: she'd even included you into her circle of "Best Friends". Your relationship with her wasn't anywhere near "Marefriend" status, but RD won't stop teasing you: saying "It's only a matter of time, loverboy!"

I really enjoy that the connection wasn't instant. You show how things develop over time and allow the relationship to naturally bloom. I think the the human mind needs this to some extent so the situation can be believable and thus enjoyed a lot more.

That mare might be like a sister to you, but sometimes you just want to strangle her... with a cake...

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS XD
Just trying to figure out how this works is a great mind game :P

You sit there, on your little couch: with the opened notebook laying perfectly on the table before you. Normally, you'd be writing lyrics, or drawing pictures by this point. You're not amazing at what you do, but it helps pass the time, and puts bits in your pocket. Especially when the overgenerous Vinyl buys your songs: she may be a mute, but her actions speak volumes. It feels weird to have a fan...

*GASP* a mention of my bae <3

That is really sweet, though, that Vinyl is such a fan of pony Anon's music. :)

Groaning at your knack for ruining what used to be a pretty good mood, you get up from the couch, and head to the door: deciding to walk through the Everfree once more. Timberwolves weren't up this season, so you had nothing to worry about.

Oh well that's good. XD

After remembering that you came up with that name, you reexamine your life: wondering where in the hell you lost your sense of poetics.

HAH I love self-aware moments like this. It's good to allow the readers to laugh at the character every once in a while to prevent things from getting "too sappy" :P

She freezes from the contact, but only long enough to look up at you. Once she sees who it is that's come to her side, she dives into your hooves: and lets you hold her tenderly as you allow her tears to stain your chest, and you stroke her mane out of reflex. It's the same thing your mother used to do whenever you had one of your "attacks"...

Awww. This says a lot about Anon pony's background too, which a lot of people can relate to.

And now, you're showing the exact care and love to your best friend. But, rather than focusing on making your move: you're too caught up in just... being there for her. It's far too obvious to you that she needed a shoulder- or, rather, a chest -to cry on right now, and you're the only friend for miles.

This is a WONDERFUL moment, because it shows how sweet Anon is and allows the reader to experience a sweet moment that really connects two individuals together. This is realistic and it is beautiful for it <3 <3

Granted, she also used to be evil, but after the shit she's been through: losing her only childhood friend at such a young age, all because of a natural occurrence in every foal's life... and then having her philosophies torn asunder so violently, when she truly didn't know better... you can see why she did all that she did, despite what it all caused.

Yes, in order for Anon to truly feel connected to her, he must empathize with her and what she's been through. Good that she explained to him everything, but also good that you summarized it through Anon, see pretty much almost anyone who reads this would already know Starlight's backstory. Nice shortcut, there!

you're shocked by your own words, as for a moment:

Capitalized "You're" :P

"T-t-thank you," she stammers, using her magic to twirl a small lock of her hair.

Awww! I didn't even consider that unicorns might use magic to show nervous tics. That's cute!

Making a small gamble, you scratch the back of your neck with a hoof:

"So... my place is right on the way to your palace... wanna stop by for a bit? I've got some decent board games..."

And just when you thought her eyes couldn't be any brighter...

"Sure!" She blurts, nodding eagerly.

SCORE! Unless they play Ponyopoly. Then they will HATE each other by the end of the night XD

What a cute story! :D I really liked it.

Fav'd and upvoted! :D

Yes he'll do it sparrow!
(You better say yes!)

7662616 *coughs nervously*
OH um okay, yeah

7662623
You're fine. It's actually beyond flattering. :twilightsmile:

One of the best romance stories I've read on this site. Great job!:heart:

This is a cute fluff-fic! ;D

Well... Can't believe it took me this long to get to this.(wow I suck...) This beats any fluff I write although I'm still not use to 2ND POV. But ignoring that, it was a nice read.

7769065
No, you don't suck, you've been busy: and it's also taken me quite a while to get around to fics I'd like to read. :twilightsmile:

Nevertheless, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :pinkiesmile:

7769687 No problem. It just sucks that I made a promise and I failed to full fill it with the time I wanted. Regardless, this deserves more love.

7769754
I know what you mean. But: a promise kept past the sands of time is better than a promise not kept at all. :twilightsmile:

Aw, this was super cute so far! I'm loving it!

And for some weird reason, I thought that you- well, I was Anon. :twilightoops:

7943873
Thanks! :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

And yeah, we are Anon: that's the point of 2nd Person. :raritywink:

7943891

Brilliant story, will satisfy the romantic cravings of men and women.

8110850
How did I not see this until now? :pinkiegasp::facehoof:

Anyways, thanks! :pinkiehappy:

Though I'm a little confused. I didn't release the 2nd person romance for women until a month after this comment was posted..? :rainbowhuh:

Loved it! Very powerful, yet, romantic! More please!

Man this is beautiful for a beautiful like Starlight Glimmer she's my top favorite character that's not in the mane six

Very sweet story, loved it! :twilightsmile:

Hello I as wondering if i can make a dramatic reading on this story to YouTube if your ok with that?

9853591
I don't mind, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Here’s what needs to happen (in my honest opinion) 🤞🤞🤞

A direct sequel to this story, or a retelling of this story but from Starlight’s P.O.V. (still told in third person, obviously; but you get the point.)

Easily one of my favorite stories
