Apple Bloom came over today. She asked me some weird questions. Or maybe it was more her behavior that was weird. She asked how I liked the party among other things. I think she tried to hint at something. If that's true, she is as bad at it like her sister. How does Applejack tell her friends something is wrong? By running away of course. OK, that was this one time and they all were younger, barely adults.
And I just had the thought; Does she know? Does Apple Bloom know that I did take a liking to Sweetie Belle? The only pony who actually knows I have a crush is Applejack and... damn. She does. Applejack can't hold a secret if her live would depend on it. To give her credit, she doesn't tell the secret, but her face does. You just have to guess and see her reactions. So Apple Bloom knows at least I have a crush on somepony. As if I needed more pressure.
Topic change. Night Hawk and Iron Heart are cool. They are both nice mares and they are easy to talk with, well, because they answer you. Never had a guard in Canterlot doing that. Night Hawk comes from a little town in the mountains between the Crystal Empire and Equestria. She told me it was nice there. A lot of thestrals and stuff. I would like to hear more about that in the future. Stories about mighty thestral stallions in battle armor swinging war axes twice their size. Conquering other countries and ponynapping only the most beautiful of mares for breeding. It were different times back then. "Why do you think all of us thestral mares are so beautiful and strong? Because we have only the best genes of course!" Her words, not mine.
Iron heart is pegasus through and through. Prideful and cocky. But she is really smart too if it comes to medicine. She actually was trained to be a field medic, but with no war, there is no need for one. So she tried to get stationed in some quite town were she can get away with doing her thing, as she put it. It's only me, or does she remind me of a younger Rainbow Dash? I mean, today she is the hard working Wonderbolt but back when we first met...
Well, I'm cool with it. They guard the door when we have our opening hours and then they can do what they want. That are what? Four or five hours of guarding a single door and then they are off duty. Maybe I could enlist. It sounds pretty laid back.
Supplement:
I just woke with a really awesome idea to ask out Sweetie for Hearts and Hooves day. Or on Hearts and Hooves day. It's a bit risky but I think it would leave an impression. Just hope it will be a good one. I don't know if you were the real deal, but thanks princess Luna.
