//------------------------------// // A New Leaf // Story: A Good Share of Lives // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// "Miss Meek Sky." The receptionist mare called in the waiting room. The teenage filly in question nervousely rose from her seat, but before leaving the room she threw a last glance at her mother who gave her a reassuring smile and if her father wasn't stuck in Fluttershy's body she knew he would have gave one too. She entered a room with a large device and a specialist was waiting for her. "A miss Sky! What seem to be the problem?" The mare ask eagerly. "W-well I was reading one of my f-favorite book but I had trouble understanding everything because my vision was a little blurred." She tried to avoid eye contact while talking but the mare didn't seem to mind. "Well that's never fun to miss out on a good story. Take a seat here and hold this spoon on one of your eyes." "I-I can't levitate things with my magic." She responded with a hint of shame. "You don't know levitation at your age?" The specialist asked in disbelief. "I'm a elementalist." Meek Sky replied so quietly that the mare almost didn't hear it. "Oh! I'm sorry I shouldn't have even asked that wasn't professional of me. There I will levitate the spoon for you. Now just tell me what are the letters on this." The mare pointed to a paper on the wall with letters of different sizes. "y, n, o, p, a, e, s..." And it continues like that until she arrive at the last column of the paper. "I can't see the rest it's too blurred." The mare frowned and made her try with the other eye this time. The result was the same she couldn't read the last column. "Well miss Sky I think you will unfortunately need to wear glasses. Let us just check what type you need okay?" Meek Sky nodded with a frown. She just hope the glasses wouldn't draw attention on her. - - - - - It's was a day like any other day in the small town of Ponyville. Some ponies were greeting their friends, other bought food from the many stalls of the market and the stallions were seen at restaurants either dating a pretty mare or taking a break from the demanding farming work. But to Meek Sky it seem as if everypony was looking at her waiting for her to embarass herself in public so they could have a good laugh at her expense. Not that her new pair of round glasses looked silly or anything, in fact Meek Sky looked as if she was born for wearing them. But the simple fact that there was something changed about her made Meek Sky a little paranoid. She stop dead in her track when she realised she had lost her mother in the crowd. "Mommy?" When she received no answer she began to panic. "Mom where are you?" She began to look everywhere but to no avail. She was so focused in her task that she noticed too late she was heading in direction of another filly at high speed. The two girls were send crashing on the ground. "Oh my goodness I'm so sorry miss!" Meek Sky help the unknown filly back on all four. "No biggie a little crashing there and there make life more interesting! ohhh what a pretty pair of glasses and they look new too! You're so lucky! I wish my eyesight were bad as well so I could have a pretty pair of glasses too, but no! I'm stuck with my two perfectly functioning eyes! Life isn't fair." What a strange pony, Meek Sky through to herself. "Umm what is your name? If you don't mind answering that is." "Oh! I have tons of names having just one name is so boring! But most ponies still call me Leaf through." She with a frown as if she found that fact weird. "Leaf? you have the same name as Fleur De Lis's colt." Meek sky state. "I prefer the term foal or child it's imply I can be either a dude or a chick!" She explained with a pounce in her steps, Meek Sky could only stare in confusion at the statement. "...Anyway I really need to find my mom." "Is your mother that pretty Pegasus that look worried?!" She asked excitedly. Fluttershy came down when she saw her daughter in the street. "Oh my goodness I was so worried about you! Come Meek Sky your sister will return from her training soon." "Hey I'm Meek Sky awesome new best friend! Can I come?" Leaf asked enthusiastically. "What? But I barely know you-" Meek Sky tried to say but her mother interupted her. "Sure! Any friends of my daughters is welcome home." Fluttershy responded with a kind smile. "Yes! I can't wait to see your house! I bet it's as awesome as your pair of glasses!" The midnight blue Unicorn sighed. She was afraid of being laughed at but instead she got a really weird 'best friend'. The walk home was long, Leaf commented on everything she found interesting on the way. Which is to say any living creatures and shiny objects. Finally Leaf stood mouth agaped as she saw her new friend's house. "...This is your house?" The normally over excited filly ask the question quietly. Meek Sky was worried Leaf was about to break down or something, but she nodded her head nonetheless. "This. Is. Amazing! A house builded in a tree filled with all sort of animals? This is the best day ever!" Meek Sky suppressed the urge to groan and force a smile. "Let's go inside if you want." No need to be rude. Meek Sky told herself, she would probably not leave even if I ask her to anyway. - - - - - "Meek Sky! I bet I can climb on top of your house with my eyes close!" Lead exclaimed before running toward the house in question. "No Leaf don't-!" Meek Sky tried to stop her but it was too late. The filly was almost at the top of the cottage when she slip and landed on the ground with a thud. "Leaf!" The Unicorn rushed at the fallen Earth Pony. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine! Don't worry life is not fun without a little danger." Sky could not help but sigh in relief. "Hey Meek I was wondering, we know each other for a really long time." "I meet you a hour ago-" "But!" Leaf cut her off, "in this time I've come to realise I really like you. So I wanted to ask you, do you want to be my fillyfriend?" Meek Sky couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. The first pony to ever ask her on a date and it was a filly. "I-I no! I just met you! Plus I don't like fillies in that way!" Leaf looked at her weirdly. "You don't like me because of my gender? You ponies are weird but if it's a colt you want I got no problem with it." The weird 'pony' was envelopped in green flammes, once it die down a perfect replica of Leaf if she was a colt stood there leaving Meek Sky frozen with shock. "What? You don't like colts neither? Maybe I could turn the front of my body as a colt and make my backside look like a girl, maybe the other way around? Oh! Maybe you're into interspecies! I like it too especially when couples make a super awesome hybrid baby!...Sky? Are you okay?" The poor filly had lost consciousness when Leaf began to mention the combination of genders.
