//------------------------------// // Buy Twilight Earrings // Story: A Day in the Life // by TheHardie-Boy //------------------------------// “Think I’ll go with the earrings,” I said to myself as I made my decision. I quietly called the sales pony over so as not to alert Twilight about what I was doing and made my purchase. It couldn’t have been more than five seconds after the transaction was complete that Twilight appeared from around the corner. “Jake, what happened to you?” she said with a slightly sad expression. “I looked around and you weren’t there.” “Oh, um, sorry, Twilight,” I apologized as I quickly put the earrings in my pocket. “I just got distracted by…um…these old books right here.” I put my hand on a stack of old books next to me, hoping that Twilight wouldn’t catch on to what I’d really been doing. “I understand,” she sympathetically said, no longer seeming sad. “It’s pretty easy to get distracted in here with all the great stuff they have.” I gave a small, mental sigh of relief that Twilight hadn’t figured out about the earrings. “But come on, there’re something over here that I really want to show you,” Twilight said as she trotted off around the corner. Happy that my purchase was still secret, I followed Twilight toward the other side of the store. “That was really fun, Jake,” Twilight said as we headed back home after a long day of antiquing. “Yeah, it really was,” I agreed as I held the earrings in my pocket, waiting for just the right moment to give them to Twilight. “It’s just kind of a shame we didn’t end up getting anything though,” Twilight somewhat dejectedly said. “It would’ve been nice to have something to remember today.” ’Well, this seems like a good moment’, I thought to myself as I pulled the earrings out of my pocket. “Would these be a good reminder?” I asked Twilight as I presented her with my gift. “Oh my gosh, Jake!” Twilight shockingly stated, bringing a wing up to cover her now open mouth. “When did you get those?!” “Remember when I said I got distracted by those old books? I was actually buying these.” Twilight didn’t say anything as she magically grabbed the earrings in her aura and looked intently at them. “They were just going to be a random gift, but now they can be a reminder of how much fun we had today,” I continued. “When I saw them, I thought of you. I hope you like them.” “Like them? I love them!” Twilight exclaimed as she placed the earrings on her ears and gave me a big hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” “You’re welcome, Twi,” I said as I returned the hug, happy that my marefriend liked her gift. I puled away just enough to get a look at her with them on. “And they look beautiful on you.” “Now let’s get home so I can give you a gift,” Twilight seductively whispered into my ear just before breaking our hug. “Okie doki loki,” I impishly replied as we started home again, knowing exactly what gift Twilight wanted to give me.
