//------------------------------// // PaintDrop’s Secret PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Did everything go fine? Was it okay? PaintDrop It was fine, don’t worry. Things went without a hitch. Simile had to pull some theatrics, but knowing her she probably enjoy it. I’ll see her and Luna later today, but I think there’s nothing to worry about. Thanks, Paint. I owe you one big time. LightSparkle Not sure about that. After everything you told me, I’m just glad we could help. Do you think it’s the right choice, though? Don’t her friends at least deserve to know? I know we’ve discussed this several times, but it just feels... risky (the moral aspect aside). What if she had returned right then? How would we have explained it away? PaintDrop I know it’s not idea, but Mom agreed with me that for the moment this is the best option. There’s no way of knowing how long Twilight would be gone and what she’s doing. All we have is auntie’s reassurance that she is alive (no idea about well). Having her show up at a major event is enough to keep everypony calm. I’d hoped that the Windigo would take the pair, but it seems it’s focusing on the Crystal Empire. In any event we’re good for now. I’ll keep posting from DarkSparkle’s account, so all is fine. LightSparkle I wouldn’t call it fine :( Even Vertex was worried and he’s not one who worries about much. PaintDrop Well, he has my thanks. He’s giving us time to find out what’s going on and that’s always a good thing. By the way I was serious when I said you two could visit me anytime. Don’t worry, I’ve spoken about it with Mom (not that I wouldn’t have sneaked you here anyway. How do you think Simile got here? :)) LightSparkle Yeah... I really don’t know how you manage. All the things that happened to you, what you’ve been through, what you’re dealing with now. How do you keep it all together? I couldn’t stand the pressure of helping a few friends and I got myself into a huge mess with my BF as a result. You seem so perfect. I can see Princess Celestia in you. PaintDrop Ha ha. Plus, if I thought you wouldn’t be able to handle it I would never have told you about it. Thorax remained a possibility. It was Auntie who pointed out it might not be best to involve other kingdoms at this point. LightSparkle Yeah. I could tell that much from my politics class. So, what happens now? We do this act every few weeks? At some point ponies will start noticing the pattern. PaintDrop If we haven’t found Dark by then I don’t think it will matter. The only thing I need you to do is act normal. Not the best thing, I know, but for now you have to. And I still say you two should come visit for a few hours. TrueSparkle knows so you just have to tell her and it will be arranged. (She used to come clubbing every night at one point.) Seriously, why don't you come here right now? I guarantee you’d be amazed, even if it will take you a bit to get used to things. Walking on two legs is very different from what ponies imagine. On the bright side you’ll be able to be with Vertex. LightSparkle I don’t know. It sounds a bit weird... PaintDrop No such thing. :) It's just different. And it’s true that you’ll have to mind your drinking. The human body isn’t good with alcohol. Only other difference is that here the males ask you out in general. (Which is why I can’t get into a stable relationship: I come on as too strong.) Anyway, think of it as a brief vacation. A few hours here and you’ll feel like you’ve been somewhere for weeks. Try it out. LightSparkle I have to ask Vertex. I’ll only go if he does. PaintDrop You two are so sweet :) LightSparkle Can I ask you something? It’s not related to Twilight or Earth. PaintDrop How bad is it? LightSparkle It’s nothing to worry about. Not you, at least. Do you think it will work out between Vertex and I? I love him madly and he loves me, but is that enough. My parents don’t say anything so not to upset me, but it’s clear they think it’s a bad idea. My brother is only okay because he knows I want it to work so much. As for my friends... they are okay, but they try to stay away because of social pressure. Only RRBB doesn’t give a *yay*. What would happen when we actually marry? I don’t want to live my life waiting for him to sneak into my room as a snail or robin. I want us to be together as normal ponies. Do you think that could happen? PaintDrop Honestly? I don’t know. Not unless something changes big time. With what you two have done, if the Windigo is defeated maybe there’s a chance, but I really don’t know. To tell you the truth I’m still afraid to show my face in Equestria. I did some ornery bad stuff here, I hurt people and ponies. I’m not sure what will happen to you two :( You can always come live here. It’s very different when you only visit Equestria. Look at me. Ponies like me when I get back, I’m finally on speaking terms with my mother again. Also, I have friends here and so could you. If you decide I’ll be here to help you out. At the end of the day it’s your choice, but I’ll be here to help you adjust. And you’ll love my friends. LightSparkle I see... PaintDrop Sorry, but I know you well enough to lie about this. LightSparkle I know. Well, if it comes to that at least I’ll earn a living from arm and hang out with Danny every now and again. PaintDrop This place is very different from what’s written in the books. This isn’t coltfiction and there is no Danny. LightSparkle I know. But if we move there, there will be :) PaintDrop I actually didn’t see that coming. :) Take care, Paint, and let me know when you want to visit. LightSparkle I will. PaintDrop
