//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Same Feelings // Story: A Beautiful Twilight // by AldenExMachina //------------------------------// Chapter 2:Same Feelings The next morning I woke up feeling happier than Pinkie Pie in a cake factory. OK, maybe that was a little cheesy, but I don't care. the point was that I felt great. I kept going back to the night before when the girl of my dreams kissed me. the moment ran through my head the entire night. I could barely even sleep. I felt like a kid on the night before Hearths Warming Eve anticipating what presents he might get. I got out of bed still feeling a little drowsy and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water and something to eat. I sat there at the kitchen table enjoying an apple. If there was a perk about living in Ponyville it was that it was home to possibly the best apple farm in Equestria. Then, completely out of nowhere there was a large crash outside of my door. The first thought that popped into my mind was that it was probably Rainbow Dash for as good of a flier as she was she would sometimes crash from practicing some extreme stunts. Maybe a bit to extreme, but is there even a such thing as to extreme with Rainbow Dash? I quickly dismissed my theory when I heard a familiar voice come from behind the door. "Uhh...mail mare! Got some letters for you." the voice said. I quickly opened the door and was surprised to see Ditzy tumble into the house after landing upside down against the door. "Hello Ditzy." I greeted, smiling at the walleyed mare. "Hi Alden." she said getting up from the floor. "Are you okay? Sounded like you had a pretty rough landing back there." I asked "Yeah, I'm okay. Happens all the time, well not all of the time but, you know what I mean."she said smiling. "Yeah, anyway you said that you had some mail for me?" "Oh yeah! Here you go!"She said reaching into her satchel and pulling out some letters. What she had given me was nothing more than some ads and junk mail. "Is this all you have for me?" Knowing Ditzy, I had to double check. "Yeah just that. Oh! I almost forgot! This is yours too." Ditzy pilled out a red letter with the writing "To: Alden" on the front. I took the letter, thanked Ditzy, and closed the door behind her as she left. I quickly opened the letter knowing that it had to be twilight. It read: Dear Alden, I've been thinking about what happened yesterday and I wanted to talk about it. I feel odd about it, but in a good way. It's not that I didn't enjoy what happened and I really did enjoy it, I just think just think we should talk about us. Come over as soon as you can. ,love Twilight By the time I was done reading the letter my heart was racing. I didn't exactly know what she meant , but I definitely was going to figure out by sitting there pondering about it. She put the word "love" at the end so I had high hopes. Wasting no time I set the mail on the counter, and left out of the door on my way to Twilight's place. When I arrived I knocked on the door expecting Twi to answer it. Me wanting to see that beautiful face of her and those eyes. Instead I was met with the sight of a small purple dragon. "Hey there Spike. How's it going?" "Hey Alden. What are you doing here?" "I'm here to talk to Twilight. You going some where yourself?" I asked already kinda knowing the answer. "I'm going over to see...Rarity." he said almost dreamily. We were similar, me and Spike in that we both fell in love with somepony at first sight. "Well, good luck in the quest for love Casanova." I said teasing him about his crush. "Yeah yeah, whatever. Good luck with yours." he said as he walked confidently toward s the Carousel Boutique. His words made me pause for a second. "Now how the hell did he-" I knew what he meant. Whether he knew himself was not my concern. "Twilight?" I walked into the library looking for her guessing that she was probably or studying. The library was neat and organized. This place was in a way reflected things about Twilight. She was smart, well organized, and loved reading. She was also beautiful and funny and...oh so beautiful. "Oh Alden, you're here!" I looked up and saw Twilight coming down the staircase coming from her room upstairs. "I'm glad you came." she said "Yeah, so what did you want to talk about?" I asked "Well, it's about last night. I wanted to know, what did you feel about that?" "What do yo mean?" "I mean I didn't know what I was doing and I just kissed you and I was caught up in the moment and-" "Twilight it's okay, just calm down." Twilight had begun to tear up. She was obviously upset, but I didn't understand. ""Twi, just tell me what's wrong." "I'm sorry. It's just that, that I...I, I've always liked you." I stood there, stunned by what I had just heard. All this time I had such strong feelings for Twi, she had felt the same way. Awesome. "Wait! You liked me?!" I said, reeling at her words. "Well yeah, ever since we met and you said...I was beautiful. Nobody had ever said that to me before, I mean except for my friends, but here my friends and you were..I...I just don't know. When we were that close last night and I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry. I'll just-mmphph!" I had heard enough. Enough to know what I wanted to do next. I kissed her. This time of my own choice. It was nice like she just let me in, freely. It was like something only I had access to, like an item I could hold in my hooves. Her kiss belonged to me. We stood there for a few seconds, enjoying each other and hen I broke the kiss. Our faces were yet again close, our foreheads touching. We could feel each other. I looked into her eyes and she looked into mine and we both smiled. "So, I guess this means you feel the same way huh?" she asked cutely. "Of course I do Twi. I care about you and I want to be with you no matter what." "Really?" she said smiling happily. "Forever and ever Twi" I brought her close to me and hugged her, feeling her embrace. Her warm body against mine and then I kissed her once more. Us Together. My Twilight and me.
