//------------------------------// // Dark Jade PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Hello. Jade the Evervirgin Hello :) DarkSparkle How are you? Jade the Evervirgin Fine. Yourself? DarkSparkle Fine. Jade the Evervirgin Sorry for the question, but do we know each other? I mean, I've seen you on the site and we've exchanged a few words—you were impressed by a comment of mine I think—but I'm not sure if we've met in real life. DarkSparkle No, we haven't. But I very much want us to. Sorry if I'm so straightforward, but I think I love you... Stupid, I know, but I really feel you're something special. The way you think, the way you write... I can't describe it. There are many other writers out there, some of them better, most of them worse, but none quite like you. A shadow broken A winter heart awakens By a sparkle's smile Jade the Evervirgin Did you just write a love poem in preclassical staring verse? That's remarkable. Not to mention incredibly rare! Nearly nopony today writes starting verse, let alone follows the preclassical rules. (In the last two hundred years it was decided that weather descriptions are no longer an obligatory element opening starting verses to a whole different range of experiences. Of course, several traditionalist schools of poetry haven't accepted the idea and continue to this day to follow the old standards.) DarkSparkle Sorry, I get carried away at times. I mean I'm flattered, but it really isn't a good idea to act so impulsively on the aethernet. Everything else aside, you hardly know me—and I certainly don't know a thing about you. DarlSparkle What more do I need to know than the way you think? You've put plenty of that in your posts and stories. Even now: the way you reacted to the poem, identifying it with such ease... How can I not fall in love with you? Jade the Evervirgin Jade, you don't even know if I'm a mare or a stallion. Granted that there is a far higher likelihood I'm the former, yet still this is educated guessing. Not to mention I might be married, have a significant other or be twice your age. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't sweet, though. To be honest, you're the first pony to send me a love confession out of the blue (and you haven't even seen me!) DarkSparkle I know you are a mare. Just as I know who everypony on the site is. LyraHands, MixaMax, Brush, and Candle are all mares. CEOWitch is such an obvious stallion. Pretending he's a mare only makes him look stupid. Tech is also an obvious stallion, though he never hides it. MasterOfThisAstra is also a stallion and a friend of mine. We actually study in the same college. It is only natural for one to compliment beauty. I'm only sorry that my poetry skills are so poor. Jade the Evervirgin No, no, no. The poem was lovely! I was just taken aback because you matched the preclassical style so well. You really need to have more confidence in your skills. (Strange since you have no problem arguing with MixaMax.) DarkSparkle Technically, I'm over a thousand years old. Yes, quite dramatic, I know. :) In reality I'll be twenty in three weeks. As I've said, I'm a crystal pony. Pegasus to be exact. I want to be with you at the meetup. Jade the Evervirgin You aren't joking, are you? Crystal pegasi are uncommon. I often go to the Crystal Empire for work and other things. Would be nice if we've met already, though I doubt it. DarkSparkle No, we haven't. I'm not very social. The only opaques I see on a daily basis are schoolmates. I'll be going to the meet-up. In fact, you're the reason I'll be going. I don't really know many of the rest. Lyra seems nice, and I know Brush tries to be, but the rest... Max is such an ass! I know she's nice to you now, but the things she did to make you leave the site... I'm sorry to say this, but she's terrible! She argues for argument's sake, is inconsiderate, needlessly criticizes others, and hasn't done a thing in her life! I don't know how she manages to get me so mad. Jade the Evervirgin Wow, she really gets on your nerves, huh? DarkSparkle She does, she really does. One of the things I'm afraid is that I'll come across her at the meet-up and we'll get into a really nasty fight. I've never been in a fight before, but I think she'll make me get into one. Can I ask you something? Jade the Evervirgin I guess. Don't go weird, okay? DarkSparkle When will you arrive at the meet-up? It might be silly, but I want to be there to meet you at the train station. I don't care if anything happens after that. I'm a grown adult and accept that life is what it is, but I also know I have to make my own opportunities...and this is one of them. Jade the Evervirgin I really shouldn't be saying this, but... I've been there all along. I just didn't want the others on the sire to know. A bit like you, I didn't get along all to well with everypony. (I know it's a horrible thing to say, but I'm glad that TechNightling won't be coming to the gathering. For some reason he makes me feel like I'm back in school.) Since you asked, I get a question as well. Why did you choose such a username? I know you might get mad, but it's really suggestive, and also a bit depressing. DarkSparkle I'm suggestive and a bit depressing. (You'll understand when you see me face to face.) I must go now. See you at three. I really hope I do. Jade the Evervirgin
