The Day My Life Continued

by Authora97


Chapter Seven

Wearing the dress Rarity made me, I waited in the living room. Bumblebee was taking quite a while arriving. Guess he liked keeping me on my hooves. I was gonna have some fun with this guy.

I mean, not that I was actually going to enjoy tonight. It would be a one time thing and then I’m out. Rarity had just used her weird socialite powers on me, getting in my head. Of course I noticed he was medium build, I thought I would have to kick his ass! The same for staring at his cutiemark, I needed to know if his special talent was kick boxing!

Oh. Wait. Did I not tell Rarity that last part? Doesn’t matter! My point still stands.

Lilac was staying with Applejack tonight, conveniently the Crusaders had a sleepover tonight. It felt like I had been seeing less and less of Lilac the past few days, especially after the first sign of my alicorn magic on Tuesday.

She was either being babysat by my mother, or her babysitter at the Centre. The most time I spent with her was when I helped her with her history homework. That’s it, tomorrow we’re having a bonding day.

*knock* *knock*

I let out relieved sigh. I got up from my seat, hoping my dress didn’t crease. This dress was actually pretty nice, I might want to use it at Home.

My magic wrapped around the doorknob, opening the door to reveal...him.

Bumblebee wasn’t that dressed up, just a simple royal blue tie and collar. His coat was brighter than when I met him, something surprising because it was darker out. His black mane had been brushed, yet still had that blown back look. His honey colored eyes were just staring at me, as if unprepared by what he was seeing in front of him.

Rarity had made me a royal blue dress. It was simple, with the sleeves falling to my mid foreleg, and the back stopping before it could cover my hindlegs. My wings were resting on my back, thankful she hadn’t made the skirt into ruffles. The only real bit of flair was that Rarity had made the shirt with little silver swirls and spirals. I had done a spell on my mane, giving me bangs and making the rest fall onto my shoulders.

Makeup had been a fun argument. I said no, she said yes. We compromised and just went with lipgloss and some light mascara. Rarity said it sealed the entire outfit, and I didn’t dare argue with the mistress of fashion.

He was giving me a smirk, one I had seen on many trouble making teenagers. Oh, that look gotten me into so much trouble over the decades. Blame was on me, I kept falling for it.

“Hello Princess.” The pegasus said, teasingly.

I quirked a brow. “Just Raspberry, thanks.” I kept my hoof on the door. “So, how did you know where I live?”

“I live at the edge of town.” Bumblebee pointed over at Ponyville. “Mine is the house with the busted window.”

My house was on the edge of town, just a quarter mile east from Fluttershy’s house. From my home, one could see the last bits of Ponyville housing.

Sure enough, the last house before leaving Ponyville proper had a busted window. Otherwise it looked fine, plain.

“What happened to it?” I asked him.

Bumblebee shrugged. “Some dude broke in. Nopony was hurt, just made me realtor want me to move.”

As much as I wanted not to believe him, I didn’t. He sounded honest, and even looked like it from the way his eyes glance down at his hooves. The break in had damped his spirits, but not enough to stop him from living.

Huh, interesting. I guess Ponyville was so used to this stuff that a broken window was nothing.

It had to have been broken recently, if he hasn’t gotten around putting in a new one. I’d say a day, maybe two.

No. No working tonight. This is a break to get my mind off the feud and bring down Seth. That was it.

“So.” Bumblebee said in a chipper tone. It brought me out of my head, back to the present. He held out his foreleg so as for me to wrap mine around it. “Ready for our date?”

“This is not a date.” I argued, walking out of the house. My magic was used to kick the door, and place a protection spell over it. This was Equestria’s version of setting the alarm. “This is getting you off of my back.”

Bumblebee grinned. I didn’t take his outstretched hood, choosing instead to just walk alongside him. “Hey, you agreed that if didn’t have any fun that it would it.”

“Yes, and?” I questioned.

“And, this just might be the most fun you’ve had in months.” Bumblebee said proudly.

‘A month ago I was a smurf in Paris, riding on a stork’s back. The week before I was a detective arresting serial killers with Detective Beckett and Richard Castle.’ I thought, smirking.

“Oh, really?” I said, almost teasingly. “What? I can have fun.”

“Yeah, but you probably have work fun.” Bumblebee said.

The two of us started walking into Ponyville, with Bumblebee leading us. I hoped it was a short walk.

“Work fun?” I questioned the term. This coming from a girl who made the term nerdtionary.

“When you make your boring job fun.” Bumblebee explained. “Like how ponies in offices have paper basketball, or something. You look like your work life was your real life.”

I was a bit shocked by that. It was partly true, my work had become my life. All day I would think about where I was going next, and how I was going to fix it. When I wasn’t doing that, then I was probably out doing the fixing. Even my time with friends and family was spent thinking of the next adventure.

Had it really been so obvious that a guy I had just met the week before had seen it? Had I become to lax that I was letting myself slip? Holy butterballs.

What? Southern people find creative ways of non-swearing.

“And from that look on your face, I bet you just realized it.” Bumblebee said.

My attention went back to him. “Is it that obvious?” I asked.

The Pegasus shook his head. “Nah, I just noticed you looked down when I asked you on this date. Like the whole world was on your shoulders, and screaming at you to pick it up.”

That one surprised me, making me reel back. Okay. I must be slipping if he saw that much.

But, was he right? I mean, I was a princess and soon to be queen of planet Earth. You could argue that it was just the Traveler part of it, but think about it. Travelers were everywhere, in every government across the globe. Some even had jobs in the political world! Many put themselves in positions of influence, and as the queen I would have influence (or at least was suspected to have influence) over them. I technically ruled all of Planet Earth, some parts of Equestria, a small portion of the Ghost Zone (taking down Pariah Dark had it’s perks), and two other planets (the Doctor was just as surprised as I was by that news).

It was stressful, as any job was after a while. On top of it all, I had only just started my junior year of high school. I had all of that work to do, and helping Lilac.

Being Lilac’s mother is actually the least stressful. I would much rather help her with a life problem or homework then write another algebra equation.

And this guy figured it out. Biscuits. Who was this guy?


“You took me to TCIF?” I asked the pegasus, brow raised.

Bumblebee nodded, then smirked. “Yep. I asked one of your friends what places you would like to go to.” He lifted up his tie. “She gave me this, and told me you liked this place.”

I gave the restaurant another look. “Good choice.” I gave Bumblebee a surprised yet prideful look. “How do you know Rarity was my friend?”

The yellow pegasus just laughed. “You’d be surprised what I know about you.”

Totally not something a stalker would say.” I joked.

“I wasn’t stalking you.” Bumblebee said, guiding me into the building.

Sure.” I giggled, watching as he walked right up to the register.

He laughed, shaking his head at me. Bumblebee tapped a hoof on the edge of the attendant desk. “Two for Mr. Bumblebee.”

The fancy pony, an off white earth pony stallion with a black mane and a black suit vest, smiled kindly. He took two menus from beneath him.

“Right zis way, sir.” The stallion said. Sounding ever the sophisticated.

Bumblebee smirked at me. He motioned a hoof towards the direction of the maître d’. “After you.”

I raised a brow, smirking back. “You’re up to something.” I said while walking up beside him.

“Took you long enough to figure that out.” He winked.

Our table wasn’t in the middle of the restaurant. It was closer to the door, with a nice window seat.

The waiter had given us menus, and told us the specials. We were barely damone a minute before Bumblebee started up the conversation.

“You got some nice taste.” Bumblebee commented, looking around the restaurant.

I nodded, looking at all the Equestrian paraphernalia. Equestrian Elvis was kinda goofy looking, as well as any of the surfer mares they had in some black and white photos. Pony Darth Vadar was cool.

“They have good pasta.” I said, looking down at the menu.

Bumblebee grinned. “Huh.” He looked at all the objects on the walls. “Anything else?”

“There’s this thing called a menu.” I said dryly, motioning to it with mine. “Take a look.”

Bumblebee picked his up. “She tells jokes.”

“And does tricks.” I sang, thinking about Be Our Guest.

Lilac and I spent a whole weekend before our Disney trip binging the Disney films. Not just the Princess ones, oh no. We watched Bugs Life, Treasure Planet, Black Cauldron, Robin Hood, Fox and the Hound, and pretty much any B-rate movie Disney had. My daughter was not going to end up being one of those people who only cares about the Disney Princesses.

“Ah. There it was folks.” The Pegasus joked.

I snapped back to the conversation. “Huh?”

“The rare Raspberry Stardust smile.” Bumblebee joked. I scoffed, putting my menu down on the table. A small smile came to my face, biting my lip. “Ah! And there’s another one! This is quite a rare sight, mares and gentlecolts. Two smiles in a single minute.”

“I’m allowed to smile, ya know.” I pointed out, still smiling. “No need to make a big deal out of it.”

“You should.” Bumblebee said. “You look hotter when you do.”

Alright. That was a little much. My cheeks turned a lighter shade of pink, and I was so thankful I made bangs in this hairdo. It partially saved my dignity.

What do you say when someone says that? Takes one to know one?

“Would you like something to drink?”

Saved by the waiter. “Yes.” I said. “Soda, please.”

“Cola.” Bumblebee said.

The waiter nodded, leaving us alone.

“I was wrong.” Bumblebee says suddenly. “You’re hot when you blush.”

I glared at him, hiding behind my menu. Bastard made my cheeks blush even worse, asshole. This was not helping him win me over. This was embarrassing! It’s nice to be called hot, never really been called that by a nice guy before.

I mean, really. The only guys who said that were annoying, drunk, and kept trying to put their hand in my pants. Back Home, I was an outsider. My black hair was usual in a permanent state of bedhead, amber eyes with bags underneath, fair skin with freckles and the occasional zit. Then my clothes, and my weird smile.

Then, the kicker, this was my life. This. What kind of guy wants this?

Oh, woah. That was depressing.

“Shut up.” I managed to say.

“I’ve been told I’m a chatterbox.” Bumblebee joked. “You have your hooves full.”

I half glared at him. “Hence, tonight. One night, and then I never see you again.”

“Don’t rush to a bad night.” Bumblebee teased. “You might actually have a bit of fun tonight.”

I scoffed, looking down at my menu. Fun? He thought this was going to be fun? This was me forcing myself to have a night off so I don’t overdo it with my feud and work.

Tomorrow, I would get ready for the movie in a week Equestrian time. It would be followed by more paperwork from the Centre because they thought a vacation was doing your work from home.

This was not a date, this was a vacation.

“You’re hiding behind it again.” The pegasus pointed out, annoyed.

“Not hiding, reading. Totally different thing.” I clarified.

“I meant you were hiding behind that mask again.” Bumblebee explained. He reached over, pulling the menu down.

Before I could argue, his gold eyes bore into mine.

He looked serious, something I hadn’t not seen on him before. “That mask where you’re too worried about your work. The one you’ve been hiding behind all night.”

I nervously shifter in my seat. “Maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said defensively.

“Yeah, maybe I don’t.” Bumblebee shrugged. He glanced down at his menu. “But, maybe I do.”

I glared. Wow, he was annoying.

Bumblebee held up his hooves. “Alright.” He said. “I know when to cave.” He picked up his menu. “Oh! They have stuffed mushrooms!”

I rolled my eyes, unaware of the smile on my face. He was annoying, but it added to his charm. Wait...did I just say this guy had charm?


It was about forty five minutes, we had ordered our food and it had been served. Bumblebee had kept trying to make conversation while I mostly tried to let him down easy.

“Couple names.” Bumblebee suddenly said.

I snorted. It hadn’t taken long for him and I to finish our meals, maybe a few bits left. “Couple names?”

“We need a couple name.” He said. He started scratching his chin with his hoof. “BumbleBerry? BeeDust? BumbleRazzle?”

I winced. Razzle was Darcy’s nickname for me. She loved making fun of me with it, then I brought up Killjoy. That stopped any name argument we had.

“Don’t call me that.” I said without realizing.

“What?” Bumblebee laughed.

I stared at him, trying and failing to look angry. “Don’t call me Razzle.”

The stallion was about to laugh, probably tease me more, when his smile dropped. He frowned, his hoof lowering to the table. “Oh.” He breathed. “Sorry. Sore subject?”

I tried blinking away tears. It was always harder fighting off the emotions in Equestria. They hit me harder, like a knife in my heart. My sister had left me again, right when I thought things were looking up. The spell was gone from her, she actually liked me again. Darcy went and got herself killed, for me.

Why? Why did she do that? I needed her, I needed Darcy around. She was the only one who got my jokes, the only person who I could really be myself with. Darcy was my little sister, yes, and she was my best friend.

The first time she died was a blur, like I had been living in a gray sort of numbness. It almost felt like it didn’t matter anymore. Why should I go to all of these places when the only person who believed me was dead?

Then, Lilac. I could tell her every adventure like a story. It wasn’t the same, though. Darcy would probably have been right next to me as I went on the adventure. Lilac is my daughter, and I will never regret that, but it was hard to tell your six year old daughter you caught a serial killer by putting a bullet in his brain.

The second time was painful, way more than the first. Darcy had brought herself back to life to kill me. That was a whole different kind of messed up.

“How about Berry?” Bumblebee said, reminding me that I was in public.

“Oh Story no.” I grumbled. “You are not giving me a pet name.”

The stallion smirked. “I was gonna call it a nickname, but hey, whatever floats your boat.” He teased. I glared. “Okay, okay. Berry’s off the table. How about Starry?”

My glared stayed, though lessened. Starry was actually a kinda cool nickname, way less painful than Razzle. “Call be that in public and you lose a tooth.” I said nonchalantly, eating a forkful of pasta.

Bumblebee nodded. “So, only in private. Great.” He smirked. “And you can call me Bee.” He smiled, wider than Pinkie. “StarryBee! That’s our couple name!”

I snorted, using my magic to pull his plate away. “Okay. No idea what is in these, but I think you need to stay away from them.”

“You didn’t say no to it.” Bumblebee said in a sing-song voice. He was talking about the couple name. “I knew you’d like it.”

I rolled my eyes at him. “Shut up.” Then, I took the last bite of pasta I had.

“Alright, now for the next item on my plans for tonight.” Bumblebee said proudly.

My amber eyes gazed shockingly at the stallion. “Are you serious? I just finished my food.”

“Yep!” He said proudly. He threw some bits down on the table. “You and I have much more to do tonight.”

The stallion got up from his seat, proudly walking away. I groaned in my seat, before I felt something grab my hoof.

“Woah!” I said.

Bumblebee dragged me out of the restaurant excitedly. “Come on Starry, let’s see what the night has in store for you.”


“I didn’t know Ponyville had these!” I commented.

The pegasus began guiding me towards an empty blanket. I couldn’t help but look around the place, amazed.

It was an old fashioned drive-in theatre. There were some other ponies here, maybe a dozen pairs all laid out on blankets. They were mostly couples, with one or two families.

“I found it a couple days after moving in.” Bumblebee said. “It looks cool, plus they give you a blanket!”

My eyes looked back to my date, a grin on my muzzle. “This is going to be a recurring thing with you isn’t it?”

“What do you think?” He shot back.

Just as I was rolling my eyes, I saw what was on our blanket.

“Is...Is that...” I stuttered.

“The butteriest bucket of popcorn they had at the snack booth?” Bumblebee rhetorically asked. He laughed nervously, rubbing his neck with his hoof. “Hope you don’t mind. I really like butter.”

“Maybe that’s why your coat is so yellow.” I said, walking right up to the bucket and laying on the blanket. Bumblebee chuckled. “Oh, and I love butter too.”

To prove it, I gripped a small hoofful with my magic. It lifted up out of the bucket, towards my muzzle. Once it arrived, it was shoved into my mouth.

It instantly reminded me of the popcorn I ate back Home. Mmm...so much...butter...

“That has got to be, the hottest thing I have ever seen.”

Oh Story. I just gorged myself on popcorn in front of my date. That was a bad thing, right? This was humiliating.

The chuckling stallion placed himself next to me, the bucket between us.

“Just wait til the movie starts. It’s a comedy slash romance. It’s always some romance thing with walk-in’s.” The jokester of a pegasus smirked.

I, on the other hoof, was hiding myself underneath my mane. That was the most humiliating moment of my life. It was one of those rare moments I was happy Darcy wasn’t here to see it.

“I heard from that crazy friend of your’s that you liked comedies, and this was the closest I could get.” That was when he leaned in closer. “Is she always that...bouncy?” He whispered, as if expecting her to appear at the mention of her name.

Now it was my turn to laugh at him, instantly knowing who he was talking about. “Yes, but more so when she meets somepony new.” I grabbed some more popcorn. “When is your party?”

“I don’t know, but I’ve been told to come back to Sugarcube Corner tomorrow at six.” Bumblebee said, scratching his chin with his hoof.

I laughed. The movie was starting.


When the movie ended, Bumblebee immediately dragged me to my hooves.

“But, there’s more!” Bumblebee said. He grabbed my hoof, barely giving me enough time to grab the popcorn bucket in my magic.

“I don’t think I can handle this much more surprises.” I told him, trying to keep up with my date. “Can’t we just sit down for five minutes?” I sighed, smiling and shaking my head.

“We just did for ninety!” Bumblebee whined, exaggerating it with slumping shoulders and a pout.

Maybe it was the movie, or the popcorn, but I was laughing with him.

“Where are you taking me now?” I laughed.

“It’s just one more big surprise.” Bumblebee grinned. “Wouldn’t want to wreck your mind.”

I was ever so curious as to why Bumblebee guided me out of the town.


“This is a place us cool kid’s call Lookout Point.” Bumblebee explained.

I laughed. “I can actually believe they have a Lookout Point in Ponyville.”

Bumblebee raised a brow. “They had one of these where you’re from?”

“I take great pride in saying I have no clue.” I told Bumblebee, letting him guide me to an empty spot on the hillside.

It was actually kinda quiet. For some reason, nopony was up here. Did Ponyville not know about lookout point?

“Ah. Not one of that crowd.” Bumblebee chuckled.

“I’m twenty, have a daughter, and this is my first date.” My hooves lowered me to the ground, my wings smoothing out the area. “Again, I took pride in not knowing where Lookout Point was in my old town.” I gave him an appraising smile. “Not a bad surprise, Bee.”

My date continued to chuckle. “I take it your first date has been awesome, then.”

I looked into his honey orange eyes, a smile on my muzzle. “Okay. I know when I’ve been beat.” I conceded. Bumblebee leaned in, an innocent yet smug look on his face. “This date has been good

“Alright!” Bumblebee cheered proudly. “Told ya if you just let go and have fun it would be.”

I made a face at Bumblebee, shoving his arm.

“This is seriously your first date?” Bumblebee asked.

I nodded, lowering my head into my hooves. “Yep.”

“I don’t believe that.” Bumblebee shook his head, leaning back. He was grinning at me in disbelief.

“What?” I laughed.

“You went on one date.” Bumblebee said. I was shaking my head. “You had to. No way somepony as hot as you hasn’t gone on a date before.”

I laughed again. “Never been on a date.”

Bumblebee looked out at the landscape, shaking his head and smiling. “Well. I’m glad your first date was me.”

“So am I.” I admitted, feeling my cheeks heat up again.

The stallion grinned at me. “Okay. Other things we need on a first date.” He put on a serious face, and I laughed. “Bumblebee Pegasus. I’m twenty-one, a Taurus, and I hate long walks in the woods.”

I chuckled, putting on the same serious face. “Raspberry Stardust. I’m twenty, a Virgo, and I hate stuffed mushrooms.”

The Pegasus snorted. “Oh, you go a little crazy after eating them one time.”

The two of us started laughing.

“Tell me about your family.” Bumblebee said suddenly.

“Umm...what?” I blinked.

“Tell me about your family.” Bumblebee repeated. I hesitated. I had heard him right. “I mean, I know you have a daughter, but is that all the family you have?”

Once again, I hesitated. Should I really tell him about my family? I mean, at first glance it’s not that weird. Mom, dad, three brothers, a sister, and a daughter.

Then, came additions. There was Freddie, my clone that was half ghost but I consider a brother. Sasha, a robot I had invented in Tremorton. Freddie, my clone from Danny Phantom. River Song, who I haven’t exactly figured out our relation but I know we have some relation.

My sister had been killed multiple times (mostly by me), my daughter was a dragon, and the Spencer’s were all humans.

“You tell me about yours.” I said, trying to come up with an easy way of explaining my large family.

Bumblebee stance shifted. He seemed conflicted, then he shrugged. “Alright.”

Damn it. “Urg. Curse you and your inability to keep a firm stance on anything.”

“Curse you and your dictionary worthy vocabulary.” The yellow Pegasus laid down on his back. “I don’t know my dad.” Bumblebee said after a short pause. “Mom is a...bitch. In every sense of the word.”

I joined him on the ground, but just kept looking at him.

“She was controlling. Like, seriously controlling. We couldn’t do anything unless she gave the okay. She hated us being our own pony, she just wanted perfect little soldiers. I managed to get away about ten months ago, and then I kinda bumped into you.” He shrugged.

I sighed, laying my head against the grass to look up at the night sky.

“I had a twin.” I said. “Killjoy.”

“She sounds fun.” Bee chuckled.

“She was actually the fun one out of the two of us. She even worked at that club, The Frosty Mug, as a bouncer. She bragged that she got paid to beat ponies up.”

“Okay. Now I have to meet her.”

I chuckled humorlessly. “That’ll be hard, since she died a couple months ago. That’s all I’m saying about it.”

A pause.

“I have a shit load of siblings.” Bee said. “Can’t remember how many. Mom probably had another...one since I left.”

That’s kinda sad. Bumblebee looked sad, yet withheld. His family probably ignored him, not really paying attention to him in the slightest. He had to work hard for any attention.

“And I’m sure you heard about Lilac.” I said.

“Your daughter.” Bumblebee nodded his head. “The dragon, bet that makes blowing out the birthday candles fun.”

“Yeah. She gets to light them, and blow them out.” I said, smiling. Bumblebee laughed. “She’s amazing. I don’t know how I was able to do anything before her.” Lying on my back, I looked up to the stars. “She loves to paint, all the time. We remodeled the house two months ago, and I let her pick out all the colors.”

“Really?” Bumblebee laughed. “And how did that work out?”

I snorted. “You laugh, but now I have a wonderful red couch and brown carpeting.” I said in a hoity toity voice. “Autumn colors are so in right now.”

My date laughed at my impression. “You’re really proud of her, huh?”

“Always.” I said. “Lilac’s...braver than I was at her age. I was scared of everything, but Lilac is almost excited about them. She gets that from her aunt, I think. Her aunt loved adventures too.”

Huh. I guess that was what really scared me. Lilac going on adventures with me, becoming the next Darcy. I don’t know what I would do if Lilac ended up hating me, if she wanted to kill me. The very idea horrified me.

“Hey.” Bumblebee said. “I’m not sure how your sister...ya know, but I don’t think Lilac will end up like her.”

For a brief second, I wondered if he read my mind. “What?”

“I know from experience that kids look up to their parents.” Bumblebee said. “Single mom, working all the time to make her happy, I’m willing to bet Lilac loves you as much as you love her.”


The night had come to an end, at almost eleven thirty. It had been pretty amazing, not gonna lie. Of course I’m not gonna tell Bumblebee that the night was amazing, it would bump up his ego. I smiled at the thought of him having a little victory dance or something after I told him how much fun I had tonight.

Bumblebee walked me to my door, pausing in front of it in an awkward silence. “So.” He said.

“So.” I nodded. My magic opened my door, letting me trot in. I stood in the doorway, smiling back at him.

The pegasus smiled, nervously. “How was your first date, Starry?” He asked.

The nickname made me blush. “It was great.” I said. “Better than I expected.”

“Really!?” He asked, sounding like a kid at Christmas. He flew in the air a bit, rising almost two feet off the ground. He must have realized he was over peppy, and dialed it down. “Ahem. Really?”

I giggled at the behavior. “Yeah.” I leaned against the doorway. “Oh, and you should do that over excited thing more often. You look hotter when you do.” And the blush is back.

Bumblebee’s muzzle dropped, turning into a smirk. “Got it.”

“Okay.” I smiled. “See you later, Bee.”

“You too, Starry.” The pegasus shot back.

Not knowing what else to say, I closed my door. I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, leaning against my closed door. I sank down to my haunches, laughing quietly.

What was that bit at the end? Dear Story I sounded like Darcy! I mean, yeah Bumblebee did look hot when he smiled wide like that, and just at me calling him hot.

A part of me (probably the part that got picked up from too much time around Tracy) was screaming at me that I just called a pegasus hot, but the rest of me was still in elation over the date. I went on a date and didn’t completely humiliate myself, no monsters attacked, no wacky hijinks, no emergency with the Crusaders. The night actually went perfect.

He called me Starry...I don’t think I’ve ever had that nickname before. And it felt really good.

*knock* *knock*

Curious, I got up and looked out my window. Bumblebee was excitedly waving at me. Shaking my head at his antics, I opened the door.

“I forgot something.” He panted before I could ask.

My head titled. “What did-”

The stallion pushed himself forward, pushing his muzzle into my own.

I had heard a lot of sappy shit about first kisses. There’s fireworks. It’s like you’re floating. Everything around you fades away. You get this feeling in your chest, like you heart is beating so fast it’ll explode.

For me, it was like all of those and yet none of those. My eyes closed as a tried to figure out what I was feeling exactly. My heart felt it was in my throat. All my senses were in overdrive. Like, I could almost feel every hair on my coat. Every strand of my hair. Any blades of grass beneath my hooves.

I felt a hoof grab my head. My own hoof reached up to hold his own.

It was really nice.

Oh...wait...

As the kiss went on, I felt a small spark. Or, maybe a jolt? Was this what they meant by fireworks? It was a weird feeling. As a girl who could once use lightning to her will, I knew sparks. This was a different kind of spark-

“Well, now that that’s taken care of.” Bumblebee joked.

Oh...when did he stop?

My eyes blinked open. Bumblebee was grinning.

“I know, I’ve been practicing.” He smirked.

“Ga...huh?” I asked.

My date blinked. “First kiss?”

“First date.” I reminded, dazed.

Bumblebee blinked, then grinned. “I was your first kiss.”

“Mm-hmm.” I nodded. “Sorry. Mind...reeling.” My brain finally managed to spit out.

Bumblebee let out a chuckle. “Well, now that that’s taken care of,” He gave a genuine smile. “Do you wanna meet up again next Saturday?”

I smiled, brushing back some of my mane that had fallen onto my face. “I have a Princess thing, but Friday would work.” I giggled. “Bee.”

The stallion grinned. “Goodnight, Starry.” Then he flew off.
I sighed, the smile glued to my face. I went inside, using my back to close the door. Sinking to the floor, I could only sigh in content.

Then I realized something, I was almost 200 and that was my first kiss. Darcy is laughing in her grave at me.

Ah, screw her. I just had my first kiss!


The Pegasus flew to his home on the edge of town, letting out a pleased sigh. He grinned, proud of himself. He had just kissed her, been her first kiss!

The night had been perfect.

Bumblebee walked into his new home. It was a little run down, apparently some ponies had moved out as things got worse in Ponyville. He had only been in town a week, so that was explainable.

After a quick check that nopony was watching, Bumblebee took off his disguise.

In bright green flames, Bumblebee was replaced by a changeling.

Bumble-Thorax walked over to the old beat up couch. He jumped onto it, sinking down with a dumbstruck smile.

He was her first kiss.
