***Chapter 3***

I wake up the next morning. I heard mom call me down for breakfast.
So I went downstairs, walking into the kitchen. I saw mom baking some muffins, As usual.
I go back upstairs to wake up Shine. He was sleeping soundly in his bed.
I look down at him, running my hoof through his mane. I said in a sweet voice, “Hey Shine… It’s time to wake up. It’s time to get ready for school.”
He looks up at me, smiling with a tired look “Oh, Hi Cloud! I’ll be up in a bit… Just… 5 more minutes~”
I roll my eyes, Giggling lightly, “Okay Shine, There’s no rush!”

I go downstairs; I sit on the seat, eating my muffins when I heard Shine coming. I looked up to see that he has his bags and such. He sits on the seat, grabbing a muffin, and eating it slowly.

After he was done with his muffin, we got up and headed towards the door. As I open the door, Shine goes upstairs quickly; I looked up the stairs, confused. I heard dad laughing and Shine giggling. I saw Dad carrying Shine on his back yelling out “Choo Choo!” Shine loved trains.
As we say goodbye to our parents, we started walking towards the school.

When we arrive to school, Sine went towards his group of friends. I sat in the back, like usual. I began drawing random pictures like usual. It’s been a month since the ‘Incident’. I still wonder what has happened when I blacked out.  But I don’t think it matter anymore. It hasn’t happen recently.

Later that day, we went out for lunch. I sat alone once again. As I sit there eating my lunch, a mare sat next to me. I blushed lightly as I try to look away, I didn’t want to make eye contact. 
“H-Hello Cloud…”
Her voice sounded like an angel to me. I looked up at her looking into her green eyes. “Uh… Hi there!” I said awkwardly. “I think what you did with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon was heroic…” “Thanks… I honestly don’t know what happened…” I said looking down to the floor. “Well. If it makes you feel better, I think you look cute!” She said with a smile on her face. “Thanks…” I began blushing a lot, trying to cover my face.

Her friends came over and started teasing us “Cloud and Sweetie sitting on a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G-“

She began blushing and walked away with her friends. I sighed happily and lay on the bench, thinking about what she told me.

After school, we began walking home. Shine was telling me how his friends liked the stuff he liked. I kept thinking about what Sweetie Bell told me. 

When we got home, we put our stuff in our room and went outside. I sat on the porch, watching Shine play with the butterflies. I just kept thinking of what Sweetie told me. I then saw the CMC and walked towards them. “Hay Sweetie Bell! What are you doing?”
“We’re on our way to get our Cutie marks! This will definitely get us our cutie mark for sure!” Scootaloo said with excitement. “Mind if me and Shine join along?”
“Sure! The more, the merrier!” Applebloom said while she looks at Shine.
“Alright Shine! Come on! We’re going with Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo and Applebloom!” Shine got up and caught up with us.
“So, uh… Where we going?” I ask with a blank expression on my face.
“We’re going to the clubhouse!” Sweetie said.

As we arrive to their clubhouse, we stepped inside, looking around. “Wow... There’s a lot of room in here!” Shine said as he begins running around the room.

“Yeah... It is roomy~” Said Sweetie Bell with a seducing voice.
I began blushing and tried to look away, laughing lightly. “S-So what are we doing?” I said in a nervous voice
“We’re going to our abilities! For example, I’m a pegasi! So Imma try flying higher than I can! Unicorns can learn new spells we got from Twilight! And earth ponies should try bucking the trees! Try to get us some food!” Said Scootaloo eagerly.
“Sounds like a plan!” said Shine with enthusiasm.

We all walk outside Applebloom, Shine, and Scootaloo went out the door first. As I walk out, Sweetie Bell pulls me back in, closing the door behind us pinning me to the ground. “I have a better idea! Why don’t we do some things? ~” Sweetie bell said as she begins kissing my neck lightly. “L-Like what?” I said nervously, trying to hold the blush. She whispered into my ear “A simple... Kiss? ~”  My ace became as red as an apple. “I-I don’t know how t-to!” I said nervously. “Don’t worry about it! ~” she whispered into my ear, nibbling on it. She then looked into my eyes; I once again see her cute green eyes. She came closer to my mouth, closing her eyes slowly as she approaches me. I decided to close my eyes, puckering my lips. I feel her lips near mine. As they’re about to touch, Shine ran into the room. “Hey guys! Why aren’t you he-“
He stares at us, we stare at him. The room had an awkward silence. Sweetie got off me, blushing lightly as she steps outside. I get up and walk towards the door. Shine follows along. Remaining quiet until we caught up with the group.

***
After we said good bye to the CMC, We headed towards home. Shine remained quiet the whole way. When we got home, we did our usual thing. Shine doing his homework with mom in the kitchen, I go upstairs and do homework with dad. He helped me with math as usual.
“Dad… What do you do when a mare likes you?” I said quietly. He looks up and stares at me with a raised eyebrow. “A mare likes you?! Nice job! You’re becoming a lot like me!” He said happily, rubbing my head lightly. “Oh... Well… Its cause today, me and Shine went to her friends tree house and such. We all went outside and such. But then she dragged me back in. Pinning me onto the ground. She said she wanted to kiss me… So as we’re about to touch, Shine walks in…” He stared at me. Trying to think of what to say. He remained quiet, helping me with the rest with my homework and left. “Dad. Can you call Shine for me?” “Sure, Bud”

I hear Shine coming up. I lay on my bed, waiting for him to walk in.
As he walks in, he asks me, “Uh… You wanted to talk to me?” He sat on the bed, facing me. “I just wanted to ask you something. What did you think when Sweetie Bell was on me?”
“Proud. I never thought you’ll have a crush on one of them. Like… How I like Scootaloo!” He said proudly. “Really? Did you tell her?”
“Yeah… She didn’t show much expression. She said she liked me too. I never expected to fall in love with any pony.”
“Same here…” I say lowering my head.

We heard mother calling us for dinner. So we ran to the kitchen and did our usual thing. Eat and get ready for bed.
