Opposites.....
She meant, it’s what they were, basically, though how much of an opposition there was was entirely dependent on the other creature.
She had, in the back of her mind, plenty of reasons of why she should, could and would, and had, already fallen for the other creature.
That it mystified her with the way it had been used in place of the boogey pony? To scare little filly herself? That its method of feeding was dangerously, closely, unique, and she liked unique?
That the other had displayed a somewhat daunting and wonderful presence in front of her, even when her cover had been blown?
No, those were all good reasons, and they were helped calm her fears but the real reason?
Not curiosity, or fear, or love stealing, or macabre tricks of the mind.
Opposites....
And she being overprotective.
...
She should explain herself.
To Twilight there was nothing more important than those friends who, well, believing in herself or not, were still that, friends.
She gave them tremendous importance, and, in fact, not being able to befriend the other creature, the queen, the changeling, had stricken her.
She knew the myths, and some, still permeating from her childhood, she still remembered, a creature unable to feel love, only to take it.
“But no creature is without love” - Twilight reckoned. And to see how the other creature, female, treated her own minions....
Well, she certainly seemed incapable of love, but Twilight knew for sure that was just a facade, something, a mask, not reality.
And even if she is wrong, teaching the other female the value of friendship (and non judgment and everything in between), is something she desires.
Her feeling of Over protectiveness expand, not only to her friends, but to the other creature, not a mare, but oh so deserving of the joy of friendship.
And deep within herself, Twilight knows, but doesn’t admit, there lingers more than friendship, within, like a small light, one she can’t put out.
But one day, she reckons, she’ll get to find the creature, and protect her, from harsh judgments and from the emptiness of no love...though she quickly replaces love with friendship on her mind.
