By the time Moon Light stopped playing his music was already dark. As they got up to leave, their eyes met. After just one day they both felt like they truly knew each other more than they knew any other pony. Since it was so late they decided to call it a night. Fluttershy said she could make it home on her own, but Moon Light insisted on walking her home. This made filled her with joy, she wanted to spend more time with him. And having him for company made her feel safe. With him around she always felt safe.

As they walked, they shared few words. There was little left to say between the two. For the first time in her life, Fluttershy felt truly connected to somepony. She couldn't tell for sure but she had a feeling that he felt the same. And when she looked into his dark green eyes, she knew he did.

"So, is that it?," Moon Light suddenly asked pointing to her house.

"Um, yes," Fluttershy said, a little disappointed. She had hoped she could have spent a little more time with him.

"So, I had a great time," Moon Light awkwardly said. Fluttershy saw that he was as nervous as she was and that made her feel a better. She couldn't help but let out a cute giggle.

"Me too," She said bashfully, turning to face him in front of her door. She was about to head inside when Moon Light spoke up.

"Um, you know, I'm in town for one more day," he said, still obviously nervous, " you maybe want to come by the train tomorrow, so we can hang out more?"

"I'd love to," She said almost as soon as he finished asking. Moon Light let out a sigh of relief as his face light up with happiness.

"Great, great! I'll see you tomorrow then." He said barley containing his excitement, " Well, goodnight."

"Goodnight," Fluttershy said very softly. The she did something very unexpected. Before she went inside she gave Moon Light a quick kiss on the cheek. As soon she did though her normal timid nature took over and she ran inside her house and slammed the door. Moon Light stood outside her door dumbstruck over what just happened. After a good thirty seconds he was finally able to process what just happened, as well as regain the feelings in his legs. As he left, with a giant smile on his face, he couldn't stop the flood of music going to his head. All of it was beautiful, a true masterpiece, but in his mind it was nothing compared to her. Her voice, her laugh, and her grace were better than anything he could ever play on his piano, but he was happy enough to try, to attempt to try and capture just a fraction of her into music. He started to run, all the way back to the train station, excited for the first time in months to write music again. He was sick of writing about pain, about his anger at the world. for the first time in he didn't know how long, he was happy. She made him happy.
