*illegibly smudged*

Stars! I met the most beautiful mare today, and we just seemed to click immediately! Her name is *illegibly smudged*, and she's positively radiant. As charming to converse with as she is to look at! She works at the local salon, so it was no wonder we hadn't met before now. Of course, I turned into a gibbering mess when I tried to introduce myself. I'm a full-grown stallion, not a schoolfilly, I should know how not to trip over my own tongue by now. How embarrassing. That doesn't matter, though, because she didn't seem to mind. I got a date regardless! We're meeting again tomorrow at the park, I can hardly contain myself! I'll be sure to write how it goes.

*illegibly smudged*

*illegibly smudged* and I had a wonderful time today. I brought a homemade lunch, nothing fancy, as my special talent is far from anything culinary, but she seemed to like it. We talked for over an hour, getting to know eachother better, sharing things little and large. There's this little quirk she has where her ears flick whenever I complement her, it's too adorable. She got flustered when I pointed it out, though it's nothing to be ashamed of. She also seemed to appreciate my usual earnestness. There was only one blemish on our otherwise picture picture outing. *illegibly smudged* tried to hide it, but she seemed a tad unsettled by my relationship with Lucky, who watched us the entire time. Or maybe she isn't the biggest fan of butterflies in general. Who doesn't like butterflies, though? Regardless of what she thinks, we likely wouldn't ever have found eachother if not for Lucky.

I'm starting to see things. Strange trails of light bending through the air behind Lucky as it moves, like a pegasus contrail, only somehow different. It's hard to explain. Less magical, more primal, with points of light within akin to unfathomably distant stars. My eyes begin to ache if I stare for too long. No other creature seems to be able to see the trails. Distortions? I'm just putting this on paper to help get the whole matter out of my head. Lucky is the same as always. Everything is fine, better than ever, even! I shouldn't worry. I'll just continue to follow. Hasn't let me down yet! Besides, I have *illegibly smudged* in my life now, too.
