When Twilight and I finally reached home, Twilight transformed back into a pony and asked me, "What was that dragon talking about back there?" I didn't want to tell her, I really didn't. But if I was to continue on with the day, I needed to tell her. So I did, I told her every detail, every moment, and even that I was sometimes scared. She didn't laugh, she didn't call me soft, and she didn't interrupt. She listened to every word, every detail, it felt comforting when I spoke to her. When I finished, the sun was setting, and I let out a long yawn. "I think it's time to go to sleep." I said, laying down where I usually did. Twilight snuggled closer to me then usual, and...I was fine with it. The moon started to rise, and then I remembered that- I never talked about tomorrow, when Twilight would leave to find her home. Then I thought, Do I really want her to go?
Half of me said that I should not be feeling anything for this pony, but the other side said that I needed to remember the moments that she showed kindness to me, without any kindness in return. My whole head was starting to hurt, swirling with emotions Iv'e never had, not to anyone, except for this purple unicorn that walked into my life. I snapped to reality when I heard Twilight working on her book. I looked over her shoulders again, but I found that the candle flame was dangerously low. I leaned towards it and blew a small blue flame onto it, that lit up instantly. I took my place back above Twilight's shoulders and peered at the next entry in the book. This night's story was about the Flame of Friendship, a magical flame that represented the friendship between all of the ponies. This caused me to look back at the flame that I had just lit, it's blue flame burning brighter then the moon. Some dragons believe that a dragon's flame is not unlimited, and every fire we start, we grow closer to death.
Many others do not believe this theory, but....if it were true...I would have no problem with spending it on Twilight's value. This...flame, was the representation of our friendship. Not long ago, I would've spat out the word friendship, but after all I've been through, I was starting to respect it. I yawned one more time, and rested my head on the rocky surface beneath me. I let sleep overtake me yet another time, and dreamed about the freedom of the skies.

When I awoke the next morning, Twilight just finished packing her book into her bag. I let out a loud yawn and stood, shaking off any sleep that stuck onto me. "You're leaving already?" I asked. Twilight nodded and said, "But I really enjoyed our time together. It was...fun." She smiled, I smiled back. But I couldn't help feeling bad that she had to go so soon. Even though it was a short time, this pony changed my whole outlook on ponies completely. They had one thing that dragons didn't, Friendship. "Twilight, there is no need to thank me, I should be thanking you, without you I would've never looked at a pony in a different way. But now-" Twilight cut me off. "I know. I will miss you too." Small tears formed in her eyes. I leaned my head down to her and delicately wiped the tear from her sparkling eyes. "Twilight, I like your name too." I said softly.
Throughout our whole conversation, I didn't see Sunburn, who was listening to our whole conversation before flying off.
