//------------------------------// // Brush's New Concerned PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// I'm so so happy for you! The moment you come back I'll hug you so hard :) You are the talk of the site, you know? Even with Tech locking every thread he can't cope with the amount of news ones discussing what your filly will be like. Typical for him. Oh, and let's not forget that Rarity has been gossiping all over Ponyville. Don't get surprised if you get a few “surprise” grifts from her involving lots and lots of clothes for you and your family :) Brush Lol. Tell me about it :) I have a feeling the moment I set foot in Ponyville I'll be stormed by the entire town. Thank the stars graduation is near. On that note I'm considering spending some more time in Canterlot. My own exam is pretty close, so might be best if I get a chance to study a bit with minimal distractions (as if that's possible :P) How have you been? Need help with something? LyraHands You know me too well. Sorry about coming to you with my problems, especially with everything you're going to, but…I'm unsure about some things again :( Brush That's what friends are for, Brush :) Tell me. You seemed so happy at the convention. What happened? LyraHands I was happy. I mean I am. I just… I ran across Mota there. He was doing well, and pretty as ever. His new marefriend also seemed nice. We talked a bit, promised to see each other again and all those things. I think I will… Anyway, that's not the issue. The issue is me again. Big surprise, eh? I've been told I've changed a lot in the last months (normal after what happened) But at the same time I feel I haven't changed at all. I love CEO, and he loves me. The problem is that this time it's me who's in Mota’s hooves. Whenever he goes on a mission part of me worries. My brain knows it's pointless: I have faith in him, and also I lead exactly the same type of life, yet my heart skips a beat each time he's leaves the house. But even that isn't the real issue. The thing is… I’m considering proposing and I'm not sure he'll say yes. Brush Are you kidding?! That colt loves you like Equestria itself! I understand seeing MasterOfThisAstra might have brought back old memories—that you could have gone without—but this is CEO we're talking about. He's strong, beautiful, seeing how calm you've become he must be great fun in the hay. Of course he’ll say yes. Frankly, I thought you had already agreed on a date already. LyraHands Well, we discussed it a few times, but nothing specific. Neither of us wanted to press on, so we left it hanging. Now that you'll be a mother soon…things changed. A lot of ponies have started talking about children. CodeFilly, DarkSparkle, MixaMax, WaterBottle… even RRBB has sent me a few PMs about that. I don't know where I stand, Lyra. Stars know I want to have foals from Soarin, but… I just don't want everything to fall apart like last time. Brush And we're back to this :/ Somehow I don't think it's just my making the announcement that has you acting like this. Is it the Windigo attack? It's normal for you to start worrying about your family when whole cities attacked without any notice. LyraHands Maybe… I don't know. It's again a case of me feeling that things are too good to be true. About half an year ago i felt the same way about Mota. Before we broke up I was considering proposing to him. I had a horseshoe prepared and everything. We both know what happened next. I can rationalize that neither of us were ready: he was too young, I was too sheltered, etc, etc, etc. The truth is that there's no reason. RRBB and Short&Hoofy are in school and they are practically married. I expect they’ll make it official in less than an year. At the end of the day it's just me and my fears, and I don't think I’ll ever be strong enough to handle them. Brush Then don't. One thing I've learned from experience is that every experience is different. What worked for me might not work for you. But at the same time you also need to let yourself be happy. We've spoken about this before. And yes, the advice I gave you then didn't turn out too good. But you did spend several beautiful months with Mota and are still friends with him. If you hadn't you'd probably still be the mare that flirts with every male user on the site and never gets any real attention from anypony. Ask CEO. Maybe not this minute, but ask him. If he wants to remain free he'll tell you, that's the way he is. If he would like to have the ceremony he will as well. Honestly, there are times you really drive me mad :/ As the saying goes, just do it! To Tartarus with impossibilities :) LyraHands If only things could be so simple. :) Brush They never are. That's why we have to catch reality by surprise. ;) That way the universe won't have time to make long complicated plans to tart you. It will just blink, shrug, then continue with your new situation in mind :) LyraHands Give me just a minute. Brush OMG! You asked him, didn't you! My little Brush has finally grown up to become a daredevil that doesn't take no for an answer! I never thought I'd see this day :) it suits you, I think :) Be sure to tell me all the details when you get back. :) LyraHands Lol. I just had to go to the bathroom. :) Brush Now I feel like an idiot. LyraHands You are an idiot! But you make me feel much better :) Thank you for the chat. I don't know if I'll use any of your advice, but I appreciate you giving it. *hugs* Good luck with your exams, you. And get here soon, so I can see you walk about with a huge tummy :P Take care, Brush You too :) And talk to me if you need any other help. LyraHands
