Now here’s my first day as a stallion. I’m back from a trip to Manehattan[1] and I go in my brother’s house.
“Hi Sleepin’!” I say to my brother.
“Hi Tal!” he replies.
As you probably understand, his name is Sleepin’ Pendulum. And I realize I didn’t do a description of him before. So, just remember that he a -rather- dark purple unicorn with black and white mane and tail -not grey, just black and white-, blue eyes, a pair of glasses and his cutie mark which is… well. I hope you remember[2].
“How was the trip?”
“That was nice. It was really hard to draw the buildings however, but I nevertheless love what I did.”
And as I get out my drawings from my backpack, he ask me to show him what I did. So I take the opportunity to show him one of my drawings, and his reaction makes me confirm what I thought: he prefers the way in which I represented the ambience and the ponies than the rest of the drawing[3].
Finally, I go upstairs to my room and I stick my drawings on the wall. More precisely, I should consider my room as a museum in which I expose all of my drawings. And as a matter of fact, there’s drawings everywhere, whether it is on the walls, but also on the ceiling or even the floor. Even one of my wall is flooded by my drawings. Some of them overlap with each other. So you guessed it I hope, it’s a mess. I should really say to myself to go clean all of that, so I will never forget.
And then when I finished, I go back downstairs and I look at the window. Somepony I see catches my attention. Yet I remember when I was in the orphanage being with a dark blue colt with long black mane and tail, but I also see that pony is wearing a black tie and he has a cutie mark which looks like a light blue quarter moon. Is he the pony I’m thinking about? I don’t know. But I remember what I said: try. At best you will see again a pony you’ve never seen since years, at worse you can at least make a new friend. So I don’t wait a millisecond, I take back my backpack and I head for the door.
“You’re already leaving?” Sleepin’ says surprised.
“Yeah… You know, I’m very busy today…” I answer with a forced smile.
But my brother doesn’t trust me. Maybe because of my smile. In all cases, I see him ask me some other information. I sigh.
“There’s somepony outside I haven’t seen since years. I just want to see him again.”
“So you don’t need your backpack.”
“I prefer to take it all the same. In fact, I prefer to take something and be provident even if it’s useless, rather than taking the risk of not having something that can be useful for me.”
“Oh ok! So there you can go.”
After he said that, I go out and close the door. Now where is this pony?
“BOO!”
Right after I heard that, I jump with fear and am about to run. But before I take this opportunity, I turn around and I see the pony I saw through the window. And to judge what he did, I immediately know who he is.
“Blue Night[4]! You already know I hate when you do that!”
“Oh, sorry!” he replies. “It’s just, well, we didn’t see each other anymore since years. I just wanted to see you again.”
“Well I guess you knocked on the right door.”
Then we walk a bit together to talk about our life. He explains me he took a time before obtaining his cutie mark and he loves what he do: he’s a constellation scientist. What he say about that is not very clear, I just understand that it’s about studying stars behaviors and what does it mean. Other than that, he explains me he knew about my trip, and more precisely he knew that according to him thanks to my brother.
“Oh wait, you know my brother?” I ask.
“Yeah! And about your trip, you should really tell me what happened and what you did.”
I give him no answer. In fact, I was not even next to him, but way behind. So he runs to join me as I stay still like a statue. He waves at me, but I immediately push back his hoof. Finally he watches what I see and doesn’t know what is going on. But I’m not crazy. I know what I’m watching. Or should I say “who”. Yes, I’m watching a pony. And more precisely a gray mare unicorn with long brown and orange mane and tail and aquamarine eyes with glasses. At least, that’s all I can see[5], but just that was sufficient to make me melt myself. Until Blue Night intervenes to snap my thoughts.
“Seeing your face, something is telling me you found a crush.”
“Err… No, absolutely not.” I blush.
“You know? You can tell me everything. We are friends, or should I say best friends. You can share me everything, it’s between you and me.”
I sigh after he said me this.
“You know what? I just want to be alone for now. Don’t worry, I will join you after.”
I see in his face that he knows something isn’t right for me, but he doesn’t know what he can do for that. So he leaves me alone after saying: “I hope so. I hope you will join me soon.”
Now the unicorn came out of my sight, and I always don’t know what I can do. What if she rejects me? I shake like a leaf just by thinking about that.
I need help.
[1]That’s where I bought the collars in my back hooves years ago.
[2] Just see the first chapter if you already forgot.
[3] In my opinion, still on the drawing, I guess it’s the fact that I added him in the drawing that makes him like it.
[4] Yeah, it’s the same pony whom I consider as my second brother.
[5] I have clearly distinguished that she has a cutie mark without seeing properly what it is.
