The night was a blast. Thunder got me a cider and a basket of muffins. We ate them and talked about Canterlot and my life at the palace.
“So when you were on the moon. Did you have company?”
“None whatsoever. It was drab walking around on that planet.”
“I am so sorry. Now how was it being Nightmare Moon.”
“It was fun throwing a tantrum and such but when my own sister banned me to the moon. Well to say it nice it made me very angry.For the first century I stalked around sulking. Being mad. Then I started to calm down. It was boring on the moon nothing to do. I did play crater soccor. I can take you to the moon someday so we can play.”
“I couldn’t brethe.”
“I know a spell that can fix that problem.”
“ So that could be our second date.”
“Yeah. I guess.”
“Soo when you were up there what did you eat? Moon rocks?”
“No…”
“Were they crunchy. Tasty. Mmmmm rocks. I should see if they have them here.”
That did it. He got me to laugh. I laughed really hard. Like I hadn’t laughed in years. Wich I hadn’t. I was crying and laughing.
Thunder just smiled and waggled his eyebrows. Then he laughed at me.
“You have a wonderful laugh. You should laugh more often.” Thuder said.
“Thank you. Hey you want to go for a little flight. I know some great places.”
“Sure. “
We took off and soared over Canterlot. I headed for the roof of the palace. It was flat and a great place to sit. I was the only one who knew about it.
We landed there and Thunder looked at me. He had grey eyes and largish eyelashes.
“So I memorized another spell. Should we try it?”
“Sure.”
Thunder closed his eyes. I lit my horn and thought the spell. I was inited into his mind. Time went backwards. I got to the swirling pink vortez and realize that this one was working. I was going back into his mind. Then I realized how close I was to him. I had stepped foreward and now our horns were touching.
I jumped ending the spell. He looked at me batted his eyelashes and leanded in for a kiss. I kissed him back. His lips tasted like blueberry muffin and the tang of cider. They were slightly salty. I wondered what mine tasted like.
Thunder then leanded back after a mere half minute.
I smiled at him. Then he said
“You taste like moon rocks.”
Then he was flying away.
