//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Who has the name ILoveLilies // by Miyukana //------------------------------// Knock Knock knock “Come in” Rainbow called out.When she saw Twilight opened and closed the door, she sat up straight.”Oh you’re awake now” “Yes...actually I’m still recovering from that sweets Pinkie gave us...I don’t think I can sleep later this night” “Well I’m just going to read here until my sleep come to me” “I’m guessing you’re going to read that book all night?” Rainbow nodded.”Can I ask you something?” Twilight look at Rainbow. “Ahh...of course I guess” “Since you’re going to read that all night...would you mind join me up in the balcony while I’m stargazing? I would like to have some company” she saw how Rainbow’s face brighten up after hearing that. “That’s fine...meet me there in five minutes” with that Twilight walk outside and walk towards the balcony. Rainbow snatched the book and closed the light.She flew towards the balcony to see Twilight already looking at the telescope.She saw a pile of books and paper beside Twilight while her camera is hanging on her neck. “It seems like you have many research to do tonight” Rainbow broke the silence. “Ohh you’re here Rainbow...I need to finish all of this tonight.Princess Luna is going to put many constellation as many as she can.I’ve talk to her last month saying that I want to finish this since there’s upcoming convention in the science museum.And I’m the one who’s going to show the fillies and colts about all of these” she levitate the pictures.”...and most of them said that they want the best field trip they ever have this year.Which means I have to study every details about this constellation.I want to know how does this stars really works.” Rainbow just nodded her head trying to understand what Twilight is trying to say even though she really can’t understand “Okay? But don’t you think that’s kind of difficult for you to do all the science stuff? You can ask for somepony to help you there you know.And I think you really need an assistant to do all that” Rainbow said while pointing at the stock of papers,she walked beside Twilight lowering her book on the ground. “Well first, that’s not difficult because if you ask me...that’s kind of an insult even though you didn’t mean it like that.Anything about science is not difficult for me—“ “Oh yeah you’re a science maneiac for Celestia’s sake.You don’t need to be worry about science because you’re an egghead” she teased.Her smile died down when she saw Twilight glaring at her. “...anyways...secondly, I’m with their adviser so if there’s something wrong with the students or schedule, the adviser is supposed to be the one who will going to fix it.And lastly, I really need this because I want to be a scientist and that is my dream since I learned to use magic.And they want many research and experiment as many as I could do.That could lead me to Canterlot and show them that I deserve to be a scientist.This is now my opportunity to be a scientist as Princess Celestia said.Don’t worry Rainbow, I can finish this.” “Yeah I know, I have a lot of faith and hopes for you” she turned her head away as she open her book not wanting Twilight to see her Tomato face.’What the hay did I just said to Twilight?!’ “Why don’t you read that while I’m stargazing and then we grab some food at the new open cafe.” “Sounds like a plan” Rainbow still not meeting her gaze to Twilight. “By the way, what chapter are you on now?” Twilight turn herself away from the telescope and look at Rainbow. “Well, I was going to read the next chapter...I think chapter six or five? Yeah five...Never thought you could write something about me, well not exactly about me but me—me, arrgghh this is confusing.” Rainbow groaned. Twilight blushed.”Well that Rainbow Dash I know in the human world was quite charming and a gentle mare.And I think the chapter you have read was when we were trying to find the person behind the author named ILoveLilies” she chuckled. “Yeah...you know, you kinda insult me in there even though that’s not me but the other version of me...you said that you never knew that I’m smart hehehe” “Sorry if I offended you, I know you’re smart.You can’t past the entrance exam if you aren’t smart don’t you think?” Rainbow shook her head. “Never knew you had a thing for the other me” she smirked. “Well she’s actually like you, she also had a team called Wondercolt it’s also like wonderbolt.She’s brave But never Show off outside the campus.” “I’m gonna ask you something...How come you just made a story for one day and it spread out all around the campus?” “Ohh well that’s kind of complicated to explain but I’m gonna explain it to you in an easy way...they don’t have magic like us do but they have this Technology that can make everything works like electricity.And their sun and moon rise and sets on its own.They kill animals for food...but I can’t eat meat as much as they do.They are really different from us.I even erased their memories after the fight...so they don’t know me as their princess but as their random schoolmate.I felt like a teenager that time.Anyways, the thing I used from the other world was a phone.It’s like a projector but not really a projector...it’s hard to explain when you don’t have that kind of thing when you’re here” “It’s okay.Don’t push yourself, I don’t want your head to explode jus thinking about complicated things especially to me.You know how I’m not use to listen to boring stuff not that it’s boring” Rainbow rubbed her back nervously. “You know...the Rainbow Dash in the Human world want to meet you?” “Really?” “Mmm, she told me that maybe you can show her how awesome you are.She even said that she want to have a race with you.” Twilight giggled. “I’m kinda curious about what I look like when I’m human.Is there any chance you can take me with you?” “Well it’s okay if we both Go there But the problem is...that the magic energy from the both worlds might lose the balance and it might trap US in there or worst...But dont worry I promise that I’m gonna ask the Princess if you could come with me next month, I’m going to visit the human Rainbow Dash in there.” “Okay, you promise that” “But not a Pinkie Promise, so don’t put all of your hopes because I don’t want to see a saddy Face Friend” Twilight teased, when Twilight saw the stars moving on it’s own she starts to look at her telescope. “I’m going to start this thing now it seems like Princess Luna is starting to arrange the constellations” with that she didnt wait Rainbow’s response as she levitate her camera, papers and quills. Rainbow turn her back on the grills and once she felt comfortable, she opened the book where the bookmark is on the next chapter. I blocked myself on the door of the Office of the School publication before Rainbow could start to knock the door.I shook my head and didn’t try to hide my worriness in my face. “You know that you can’t do this.” I said. “And what makes you say that? It’s Not like you know me “Well you’re the one who wants to know me and it’s only fair if we both know each other not only you who can know me.And besides you can’t approach her and ask her straight away if she’s ILovelilies.” I’m referring to Pocket.I can’t believe that she want to go here as soon as possible, I didn’t prepared myself. “Why?” “Because we all knew that she’s not going to admit that she’s the author that easy.She didn’t hide herself that long for her to just expose herself because you asked her.We need to find an evidence, a really convincing evidence that could make us believe that she’s really ILoveLilies before we do something else like cornering her.And I don’t want someone else to thinks us as accusers.” I hope this works or else I’m doomed. By the looks of it, I think I’m safe it’s obvious that Rainbow realize that she’s hurrying things fast.”Yeah.You’re right, I guess I’m moving to quickly” whew thank goodness. I sighed in relief.I used pocket to block my cover but I also don’t want to let Rainbow go near her and ask her things like that.I need to do something before that happens. “And the news about you finding the person behind ILoveLilies is spread out through the entire campus.It was the most topic news here, and I think they are also looking for that person.” “Really?” How come she didn’t know that? “Yes.And If by any chance you’re going to approach her and she’s the real ILoveLilies, she already know what are the things you’re going to ask her.She will think that you figured out that she’s Ilovelilies.So she’s going to find a way to get lost, which means you can’t also prove that she’s really that person you are looking for.We can’t approach her for now.It’s better if we just wait patiently and see how the things works because I don’t want to do something I regret” or else my conscience will start bothering me again when I get back to Equestria.Please let this day finish and I want to go home and sleep. I’m really sorry for fooling you around Rainbow.”You’re right.” she took a deep breathe, I was taken a back when I saw her look at me giving me a warm-hearted smile, she stared at me for a moment and then...”You’re as smart as Galaxy” I forgot about that. “I smiled at her uncertainty and after that I walk away from the door of school publication office.I saw Rainbow walk beside me.I think it’s better if I change myself so that Rainbow stop associating with me to find her and for always saying that I’m Galaxy as much as we really are the same, I don’t want somebody else to hear it especially Trixie.But on second thought, I really appreciate it.It’s really hard that you change because of some ridiculous reason. “You really think that I’m Galaxy .” That is not a question because she proved that many times already.”Did you comb the whole school for you to say that?” “Yes.” I almost stop walking. “Huh?” I want to joke around.Can’t believe what I actually said were actually true. Rainbow smirked.”It might sound silly for you but all of my soccer teammates looked for all the eggheads in this school.And I really owe them.” That’s quite impressive.”Really?” “Yup.They shortlisted the pretty ones and gathered some info about them.What amazed me the most is that they didn’t pretend to act like Galaxy, because most of them has an admiration to me.That’s what all my teammates told me.” she laughed. “They really did that?” I asked her ubelievably.Maybe she’s just joking around. She nodded.”They did that for fun.I’m the only one who’s serious.” “Why did you get serious about it? I mean when I read that story, I also thought that that’s you, but I never thought the you the ‘athlete tomcoltish crush’ will going to read it.Not that I know you or anything.And also I really didn’t expect that you’re going to find ILoveLilies and...Galaxy that you believe that she exist in this world.” Rainbow laughed.For all the things I said...ggrrr...”I don’t know either” I looked at her curiously.”When I read the first chapter I was amused by it.It excites me.I’ve never felt that kind of feeling before.Maybe because I was like reading myself or my life, or my future...” Her future...So that’s why she wanted to find Galaxy so eagerly? She wants that story to happen in real life? What a pathetic opportunity. I really want stab the back of my neck from that thought.I should stop taking every single word she said seriously.It’s hard to hope you know?.Like what happened the other day.For a moment, I think that she wants to talk to me in private is because she wants to date.Really funny right? It makes me look stupid that’s why I’m careful with the thing I do right now. “Can’t you see yourself to Galaxy? You’re pretty much the same, even though I don’t know what Galaxy looks like” “H-huh?” I asked her in shock. “I mean, when I chose you among the shortlisted eggheads, I pictured all of your moves to see who’s closest to the backgrounds and looks of Galaxy.But I know that you are the only one who knows yourself not me, not anyone else but you.So you’re the only one who will know if you really are Galaxy in that story.” Of course because I’m the one who wrote it. I averted my gaze on Rainbow while I continue to walk slowly.I don’t know what or how can I answer her question.If I said yes, she will think that I’m imagining things that me and her are in that story which may let her think that while I’m reading that, she may think that I have a crush on her.And if I said no, she might be disappointed? Because she keeps pushing me as Galaxy.But the least thing I would say is the truth. And that’s off the list. “Well...Uhh...You we’re right about one thing...” I saw Rainbow’s face like when your mother gave you a bag of candies.”There’s something that makes us look a like especially the descriptions written on it, but it’s impossible that I am that person.I don’t think I’m a heroine material.” I just put my laugh on what I said.”Don’t take that story seriously.It was only Fan-made fiction.Fan Fiction actually.Because you’re popular in this school.Maybe ILoveLilies is your fan also.And also, she is known by the readers as the author who has nothing to do except pairing the two person who had their different worlds, who are unlikely pair to fall in love with but they did...’only’ in the story” it’s hard to admit it but it’s true.No matter how many times you flip the world, you can't change the fact that it's just a story fan-made that can only make you dream the impossibilities in this world.I don’t want to lose my hope and besides I’m going back to Equestria so no need to be dramatic right? I felt that Rainbow stop walking so I also stopped.She put both of her hands on my shoulder as she pull my body to face her.I was stunned when I saw her glaring at me...looking straight in my eyes as if she wants to throw or something.”So, you don’t believe that an unlikely pair like us could fall in love with each other in real life?” I gaped at her.Speechless.It’s like it struck me right into the heart.As much as I try to rewind how she asked me that question, it made me think that...did she mean that...oh sweet Celestia...it’s not impossible for her to fall in love with a person/pony like me in real life? That’s a big problem...... “Twilight!” I look at the person who’s calling me.I saw Microchips walking towards me and Rainbow.He’s one of the members in science club.”MC!” it sounded like a girl right? I can’t think of anything to call him and I don’t want to call him by his name because of the bullies here. Rainbow looked at MC.She looked at him from head to foot as if she was investigating.MC’s smile is upto his ears, I think something happened.Like me, he’s also a nerd.We both became friends since I joined the club.He is really smart, because he knows a lot of things about trivia.He fixed his eyeglasses once he is now in front of us. “Do you know that the officers have a meeting tomorrow?” MC asked. I nodded.”Yes, Light told me a while ago.” “You know what? I have the new Starswirl the Bearded book!” “Really?” I pretend to be excite.But to be honest, I can’t still move on from what Rainbow said a moment ago.But if it didn’t because of Rainbow, I will be excited because nobody still publish the new book here at Canterlot and I really want to know how the human Starswirl write his notes. Starswirl the Bearded and the cursed Gemstaff MC nodded.”Do you want to borrow it?” “Sure!” “I’ll bring it tomorrow.On meeting time.” “Thanks!” I saw MC looked at Rainbow.It looks like he was shocked to see I’m with her. “Oh!” He point his finger at Rainbow.”R-Rainbow Dash?” Rainbow smiled slightly at him.Now this is awkward. “Hi” “Whoa!” MC’s eyes rounded.He look at me and Rainbow alternately.”You’re with Rainbow?” “Huh? No!” I answered defensively.I forgot that we’re outside...I hope Trixie won’t see us.”She was just...just asking what time it is.” I saw Rainbow frowning at me.I’m dead again...those stares really getting me out of nowhere.I don’t want to tell MC that we’re together, it might get things worse.I said that to MC so that he wouldn’t ask another question.I know that it’s only a confidential to why me and Rainbow are talking and together. “Ahh...But the wall clock is there” MC pointed at the top of the S.P.O...you know what I mean. d-.-‘b I’m busted...lucky for me Rainbow speak. “We were just walking on the same path that’s all” Thank you very much. “I see...” MC walk towards me and whispered.”There’s no way a cool kid would hang out with the nerds in school like you.” And then he laughed.Then again, where's the no offense? Guys help me out! What’s your problem MC? You're acting weird lately. I know Rainbow heard the supposedly whisper of MC because MC’s whispers always louder than the usual whisper slightly.When I look at Rainbow, her face is serious.That’s the first time she look serious.Stupid heart beat. d^__^b I know what I need to do. “I need to go home now...I’m kinda tired.” That’s an excuse but I’m really tired from all the words Rainbow throw at me a while ago. “Okay,Hey our meeting is on tomorrow okay?” MC said and then he walk inside the room. “Cutting classes? That’s different for all eggheads” Rainbow said. “No...actually I don’t have a schedule today and then I finished all my projects and assignments so that Miss Cheerilee allowed me to go home whenever I want but I will have the regular classes next week.And I need to finish something really important.” I answered plainly. “You really are smart.Okay...I hope you’re okay.How about we meet in the soccer field tomorrow?” Why? “I’m going to check if I have a schedule okay? And please don’t wait there if I didn’t come.I’m just going to ask my friends to tell you if I can’t come” When I saw Rainbow nodded and turn left towards her teammates who’s chatting with each other.I walk outside and see my scooter at the parking.Scootalo teach me how to use it because I really need a vehicle my house is couple miles away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I parked my scooter at the garage and saw Rarity at the gate of the house.I run towards it and opened it. “Do you need something Rarity?” “Help me Darling with the assignments.I’m kinda stressed from those dress I’ve been working on” I moved aside for Rarity to enter. Once we’re inside we walk at the bedroom.I ask her that I’m going to take a shower. dOoOb Gulp I was shocked when I saw 7 stocks of books.I finished drying my hair as I jump at the bed.My back is really hurt and I didn’t do anything today.I saw Rarity starts answering her assignments while I wait her to ask me something which I gladly answer it for her.We’re in the house for five hours and Rarity just finish her assignments.Is that really hard?We both help each other to write our reaction paper in our English class.And tomorrow is Friday so Rarity is allow to stay here late at night. While I’m busy stretching and massaging my back, Rarity opened her phone and immediately opened her Wattpad app. “Oh my gosh Darling! Twilight you can’t believe what I just saw...The story ‘The Heartthrob/Athlete And the Nerd had reached forty million views” I already know about that.I saw how the nunbers of view expand in my latest ongoing novel.That’s a big Thank you from me. “Ohh! Look at the latest chapter Daling, look at how many people have read that.It’s only twenty hours since ILoveLilies posted that chapter.” she added. I just post the chapter ten last night.It was the part when there’s a new character entered the story.His name is Alfie, a cute boy-next-door who has family business , which is a bookstore chain.That is the place where Galaxy often buy her books.One day, Alfie helped her to find the books that she needed for her research.After that they have a chat.They both discovered that they both like reading books.In an instant they became friends. One day, fictional Rainbow Dash’s car passed by at the bookstore and she saw Galaxy outside the store having a conversation and laughing with other guy.She couldn’t understand why her body’s is acting strange, filled with anger and sadness.She didn’t know why she was feeling that way.She was not aware of the fact that she was starting to feel something for a nerdy girl who was far outside her league. “Readers must have been really like that kind of theme of the story, don’t you think?” I said to Rarity while I’m staring at the ceiling.”Worlds apart...unlikely couples...” Pony and a human? Psh not gonna happen if I didn’t let my emotion comes first. Then all of the sudden, the memories a while ago flashbacks at my mind again.The things Rainbow said before MC came. ”So you don’t believe that an unlikely pair like us could fall in love with each other in real life?” Why did Rainbow said that? Is there an ‘us’ in this situation? I don’t want to put my hopes up than it should be on it because of how Rainbow’s perspective is, I don’t want to believe in everything,because that’s the way she looks at it that the real life Rainbow and a real life Galaxy can fall in love in each other just like the fictional ones.I don't want to betray Rainbow also, since both of our feelings are in the line. “Darling, it’s really thrilling even though they are not like the other couples are who ended up in same likings” Rarity said. d>_______///
