I shake my head and stand up straight and get back to reality before I make a fool of myself, again. "H-Hi there Roseluck, I'm Archlight, but you can call me Archie." Apparently Roseluck giggled at my name and I was blushing. I just noticed that Mist was no where to be found until I saw her laughing with the two other mares, which names were Cloudchaser and Carrot Top.
She finished laughing finally. "Well its great to meet you Archie, if you'd lik-~ I think she stopped because she noticed my badge.
"Oooh your a royal Canterlot Guard?! That is soo cool!" apparently she liked learning about Canterlot Guards.
"Oh I'm sorry it's just sometimes I ramble, and whoops I did it again I'm sorry, but would you and Mist like to hangout with me Carrot Top, and Cloudchaser today?" I was curious how she knew Mist in the first place, maybe it's just Mist is quick to make new friends and I never notice.
"Oh ummm Im sorry bu-" of course I was cut off by Mist throwing her hoof on my mouth. This seems to be a natural thing to me.
"We would love to hangout with you guys for the day, Roseluck!" Of course I didn't get a say in it, all that came out of my mouth was muffled noises and that was it.
"Great! We'll see you guys around three this afternoon!" she said that and went off to join her friends, I think she looked back and waved good-bye to me, but I wasn't sure if it was to me or Mist.
"You almost blew it Archie!" honestly, she was correct I did almost mess it up.
"Exactly what did I mess up?" thats my dumb arrogance where I never look at the obvious, and or acknowledge the truth.
"Are you kidding me!? While were out you can hang with Roseluck while I hang with Carrot Top and Cloudchaser!" she had a good idea but at the same time something tells me she's not interested.
"Oh come on Mist how do you know if she's even into me?" of course I didn't notice I've given it away.
"So you do like her!" and there it goes.
I wanted to curse but remembered I couldn't "Alright! I.....like Roseluck" I said that in a rather muffled grunt then an actual word. Next second Mist is squeezing the life out of me and teasing me to no end.
"Archie likes a maare, Archie likes a maare, Archie likes a maare!"
"How old are you again?" as I asked as bluntly as possible for she was acting foolish.
"Pfft! Forget age I need to teach you about mares, lets go Archie!" thats one subject I never liked to touch on is Mares, from what I've heard about Shining Armor and Cadence, it's a bit disturbing. So, next thing I know me and Mist are sitting at what is said to be "Sugar Cube Corner" apparently it's a good place for food. Which I will give them that they had my favorite, a mint-chocolate chip muffin. Like mom used to make.
So, while I was scarfing down mint muffins, Mist was teaching me about mares, apparently I took notes and I didn't even notice, guess it's a bad habit.
"Alright and lastly, Mares CAN! be a big impact on your life!" I wrote that down and asked foolishly.
"How?" I've never seen Mist's eyes get so large and so serious.
"Oh my gosh Archie, they could completely change you, they could force you to forget about so much, like your friends, your family, your job, EVERYTHING!" of course my ears were bleeding by her yelling and I was afraid someponies were listening to us.
"Alright, so they can make an impact, what else is there?" as I said eating my last muffin.
"Check your watch."
I checked my watch and read three pm, that's when I realized what she meant, then my heart sank and my mood went into a large anxiety. I think I almost had a heart attack.
So, me and Mist went to meet up with Roseluck Carrot Top and Cloudchaser at her house, of course I didn't notice that Mist had taken Carrot Top and Cloudchaser to go bowling. I was.....distracted by a pretty disturbance.
"So, while there gone what would you like to do, Archie?"
"Hmmm?, Oh! I'm sorry, I was....spacing out." I said this with about the biggest blush ever, oddly enough she didn't notice.
"Oh thats alright, hey! I know of this cool place that has an amazing view, lets go!" little did I know her force was about Mist's times two, for she pulled me to this cliff area that had a great view of the ocean. I think thats the second most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
We were lying on the grass and watching the sunset. It was an awkward silence but she decided to break it.
"So Archie what do you do in the Royal Canterlot Guards?" I guess I've never really had a position, but I went with just what I knew.
"I guess you could say I'm a specialist at strategies and statistics, I also am personally trained by Shining Armor, but only when he's in Canterlot. You know because he is Prince of Chrystal Empire along with Cadence."
"Yeah! Of course, it sounds really cool. But wait, how is Mist in the Canterlot Guards if she's a mare?" I figured this question would come up once in a while.
"Well, she was the only mare brave enough to do it, even though her entry exam scores surpassed half the class, not including me because I've got perfect scores, tis why I train with Shining Armor. Plus, she was a Wonderbolt Trainee so she has extra training." I think I showed off a bit during that sentence but I'm glad Roseluck didn't notice, although she did notice how close we were to each other.
"Oh! Im sorry I didn't mean to get so close to you it's just very cold up here." Of course I wanted to say she could come closer and I would help, but before I could.
"Hey Archie!"
"Roseluck!
"Roseluck and Archie!"
We both got up and stood a little away from each other when we saw Mist, Cloudchaser, and Carrot Top emerge from the forest behind us.
"Hey guy's it's getting late we need to get home!" of course I felt like screaming because I was so close.
So, eventually we all got home and part way's me and Mist had to sleep at a nearby hotel.
"Sooooo, how was your's and Roseluck's daaate?" of course she said this in a teasing tone.
"It wasn't a date and It was alright we had some fun." of course Mist laughed at me and poked me a few hundred times and left me alone for a while, until she fell asleep.
Well my first day wasn't to bad although it could've ended perfectly, although Mist had to kind of ruin it, but I'm glad she did because I could've messed up. I wonder what Roseluck's doing now.
Dear, Diary, Today I met the handsomest, sweetest, and greatest stallion ever. His blue and black mane just looked amazing and his light blue eyes, they were like piercing my heart. What's even better is he's a Canterlot guard! So he's intelligent and athletic. Although he's quirky and a bit odd, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. I really hope he's here to stay. His name just sends chills up my spine. Archlight.
