Chapter 15.
Martin and Twilight were both looking at each other. “We aren’t together, just friends.” They said simultaneously.
Sandy wiped the coffee of her face. “Are you sure? You look like a good couple.” She said as she smiled and grabbed a napkin to wipe her coat with.
“We are just friends! Do I need to repeat that?” Martin asked.
“Nah, I am kidding.” Sandy said while grabbing another large pile of napkins. “It still nice to meet you, miss Sparkle.” She said while shaking the hoof of a still confused Twilight.
“Uhm.. it’s nice to meet you to, I guess. ” Twi said while sporting a forced smile.
“So, what were you doing today?” sandy asked while wiping her coat.
“Just avoid going to jail and unveiling that a doctor is a drunk.” Martin said.
Now it was Sandy’s turn to spray tea everywhere. “You did what?”
“He avoided going to jail and unveiled that a doctor is a drunk. And I was the prosecutor that sued him. And his lawyer luckily beat me.” Twilight said nonchalant.
Sandy just looked at them with a questioning look. She pointed at Martin. “So you are an alien that was going to jail, but escaped because of an drunken doctor, ” She pointed at Twi, “And you are a lawyer that wanted to lose a case. ”
Martin and Twilight said a resounding “Yep.”
“You are a strange bunch, you know that.” Sandy said while quickly working through the pile of napkins.
“I am an alien that is twice the size of a normal pony and she is a unicorn that is about as socially awkward as someone can get.” Martin said while giving Twilight a playful shove.
“Hey, I’m not that socially awkward anymore.” Twilight and while giving him a playful shove back.
“Let’s just say that you’re both a bit strange.” Sandy said while giggling a bit. “But you both look like nice enough ponies or, in this case, aliens.” Sandy looked at the clock. “Shoot, I forgot the time. I have to go. Sorry,” Sandy said while jumping up from her seat, “Bye. I’ll see you around.”
“Bye.” Martin and Twilight said as she walked out of the shop.
“So, who was that nice pony?” Twilight asked while wiggling her eyebrows.
“Her name is Sandy and I talked to her while you were staying in the line. She seems nice enough. I only know like 6 ponies, so meeting more is always good.” Martin said.
“I didn’t know that many ponies either before I came to Ponyville, but I made so many friends there. And I think you will too make many new friends.” Twilight said while sipping from the little remains of her coffee. “And you seem to be good friends with Luna already.”
“With Luna? That is going quite good. We’re even having a date later this afternoon.” As soon as Martin finished that sentence a fine rain of coffee rained upon him. “I assume that you didn’t know?”
“No! I didn’t. Why are you telling me this only now? And when did this happened?” Twilight said/yelled, close to making the table collapse.
“This morning.”
“Wow, that’s on a short notice.” Twilight said, regaining her calm. “I hope you have a nice time.” She said, a bit sarcastic, which went unnoticed by Martin.
“Thanks. It was a bit unexpected. I asked her for a cup of coffee and then we had a date. I don’t know exactly how it happened.” Martin said while trying to get the coffee out of his hair.
“You don’t. Why?” Twilight asked, a bit of hope in her voice.
“Some more weird pony customs or something like that.” Martin said.
“I think there is a book about that. Maybe you should read it.” Twilight said, loosening a bit more.
They both talked a bit more before leaving to the castle after an hour. They did stop on the way there to pick up some doughnuts for the castle. Twilight was planning for a hyper study session about humans since she missed some because of the lawsuit.
They arrived at the castle and Twilight excused herself and rushed towards the library to study, taking the jumbo box of doughnuts. She yelled a goodbye and was out of his sight.
Martin decided to leave the library as it was and tried to find Luna to tell her the good news. He walked towards the door of her room and knocked.
“Don’t come in. I’m not ready yet, wait until I come to fetch you, Martin.” He hears coming from within the room and he dares not to open it, for he might otherwise face the wrath of the moon princess.
“How did you know that it’s me?” Martin asked while putting his ear against the door.
“You knocked.” Luna said dry.
“I’ll come back later. Bye.” Martin said, walking back to the dining room to get some food since Twilight took the doughnuts.
“Bye!” Luna yelled from within the room.
Martin walked to the dining room, seeing if there was anything to do. There was nopony on his way to the dining room. So he walked into it and grabbed some bread and some nice spread.
He ate some bread until Celestia came in.
“So how did the lawsuit go?” Celestia asked while sitting down and grabbing something small to eat from the pantry. (A large pack of cookies.)
“I won and I think Twilight did too, seeing her mood.” Martin said while stuffing his face with bread.
“That is very good to hear. What is the outcome?” She asked.
“The doctor was sentenced to a couple of years of prison and some therapy. I just got the therapy for a month.” Martin said while making more sandwiches.
“Ooh, you got the therapy. That’s a good one. Where are you taking it?” Celestia asked while grabbing some more cookies from the box.
“Twilight said that the one at the castle is quite good. He helped Twilight get over her fears that she might be late for an exam. It took him some time but he did it.” Celestia said through a large amount of cookie crumbs. “I’m sure that he will help you just fine.”
“I hope so, but when is my date with Luna actually?” Martin asked while finishing his meal.
“I think it is in 5 minutes.” Celestia said, munching on some cookies.
She only heard a loud bonk as Martin fainted.
