Opposites Attract

A New Light in 'Friendship'

Before I continue, i must say that this is my first Fan Fiction that i've ever written so don't go all crazy with the harsh criticism, thank you, and enjoy!

I woke with a start, frantically searching my bedroom for any creatures of the night. I sighed,'just another bad dream... nothing to be worried about.' I checked my window to find that it was already day break and the citizens of Ponyville were beginning their days. Slumping out of bed, I walked down the steps leading to the kitchen, where I brewed some coffee. Spike entered the room looking at me funny, "Uh, hey Twi... how'd yah sleep?"
"Let's just say I don't want to experience it again," I said as I recalled the horrific nightmare.
"I bet," Spike said as he walked out the door. I sighed again, and grabbed a cup from the counter-top. I sat down on my table and, while sipping, looked around the main room. It looked to empty, to me. The books were stacked clean and organized. It practically made the room seem darker somehow. As if somepony were wearing aftershave to cover a terrible hangover stench. After looking around I decided, 'I need to go out.' As I got dressed into something a little more warm, I stepped out into the chilly air and made my way down to Sugarcube Corner where I could at least spend some time with Pinkie Pie. As I walked into the store I saw Derpy Hooves, purchasing a box of what smelled like muffins. She walked toward the exit, but bumped into me, spilling her contents of muffins on the floor.
"Doh, uh, sorry I wasn't watching where I was going," she facehoofed and bend down and began picking up the muffins. I watched as she bent down and felt a pang in my chest. No. It wasn't a pang... more like a want— a need to take her up to my bedroom and... snap snap snap, "Hm... wha?" I said startled.
"Hey Twilight... how's a going!" Pinkie said that like it was some kind of surprise to a fun game.
"Oh uh, fine fine! Just feeling a little below the weather these days." Who was I kidding I felt awful just being around anyone. "You know Pinkie I'd love the stay and chat, but I got to go meet somepony at the library." I stepped back out of the store and stared at Derpy Hooves' flank until i was aroused yet again by Pinkie's snapping.
"Jeez you should lie down, you don't look too good!" She said as she pranced her way back to the counter. She pulled out some cough drops and cough syrup.

"Why... thank you for the offer Pinkie, but i don't think—"

"Oh! Of course, I forgot, sorry Twilight!" She went over to a blender, placed both the cough syrup and the cough drops in and put it on something labeled with a "Obliterate" on it. When she poured the dark green liquid and covered it, she brought it over to me, "I forgot that you shouldn't chew, it's bad for your throat!"
"Um, thanks again." I said as I made a hasty get away. I wasn't feeling physically sick, just... hay I just felt like... like the shadows in my library seem to be growing. I guess it's just me getting lonelier and lonelier. The thought of
Derpy came to mind... what with her soft skin... elegant mane... wait WHAT!? am I actually having feelings for Derpy? That's just odd. How could Ponyville's dunce even been in my mind in the first place? Well I shouldn't say that, after all it was kind of cute when she spilt the muffins, and she's not bad looking either. I hit my head into the library door. 'Oops, should've paid more attention,' I thought as I opened the door. Once again I was back to this deserted-looking building, sighing I slowly made my way up the steps into my bedroom, and back to sleep. Although it was daytime, I didn't feel like moving today.

Pinkie watched as Twilight stared again at that Derpy Hooves, wondering what was going on. As she recalled the incident, she remembered the look on Twilight's face when she fell into that trance. Almost as if... as if... 'What could that mean,' Pinkie thought as the decorated a dozen of cupcakes. Suddenly it came to her, and she couldn't help but let out a huge grin. 'Twilight, found her love! This is exciting news!' Pinkie thought. She quickly grabbed her scarf, and pranced her way over to Fluttershy's Cottage to tell her the news.

I woke with a start, sweat beading down my forehead, 'not again,' I thought with a moan. 'Ok that's it, first thing tomorrow, I'm going to ask Derpy Hooves out.' I fell back on my bed, put the covers on me. Turning I saw that it was already
the next day. "Well, better get a move on..." I climbed out of bed once more, and walked down to the front door. Hm,
strange, what're all these papers doing here?' I thought for a moment, shrugged and picked them up, reading each one.
Dear Twilight,
It's been a few days since you've been out of the library, I don't know if this is some kind of study thing you're
doing, but please come out we'd like to spend some time together.
Sincerely, Rarity.
"A few days!?" I yelled as I checked Spike's calendar. Wow... I've been asleep for 4 days. I really need to get out more.
I checked the rest of the envelopes and they were all saying the same thing: I need to get out, they're worried, and they
want to hang out sometime. As i opened the last letter my heart gave a little jump. wait a second... myheart jumped at a
letter from derpy!? 'This seems oddly plotted...' I thought as I read the letter.
Dear... uh... Twilight "She knew my name!! Um," I coughed,"not that I care."
I am sorry for hurting you with the muffins, and I'd like to make amends by having you at my house for some morning
lunch! Have a great day, and I'll see you soon!
The End
The end. Did she really just say "The End" on a letter? Oh who cares, I have a date with Derpy! I pranced around the room, and quickly left to Rarity's to find something to wear. Only a day away, I'm so excited! Maybe we can hook up...
and get together... and maybe she can move in... Whoa whoa whoa. Hold your carriage Twilight let's take one thing at a time. Part of me was still in shock that I was into Derpy, but for once... I didn't care!
