"That was really fun Lightning! We should hang out more often."
"Totally Pinkie." We just came back from pranking some random ponies. Some were alright and laughed along with us. Others... didn't take it so lightly. But it was fun anyway.
"Well I need to head over to Sugarcube Corner right now so..."
"Alright... Oh wait! My older brother's birthday is next week!"
"Oooooh! A birthday?!"
"Yup. AND I'm going to be an older brother and an uncle!"
"This is BIG news Lightning!"
"Yeah, that's how I feel to."
"What day is his birthday?"
"Friday."
"The BEST day to have a birthday on!" I couldn't agree more. "Well, I'll get to work on planning a party for him!"
"Alright. I'll see you around." Pinkie heads over to Sugarcube Corner and I head home. But the somepony tries to get my attention. I hope it isn't one of the ponies who didn't like our pranks from earlier. But I turn around to find Twilight standing there.
"Oh, hey Twilight."
"Hey Lightning. Are you busy right now?"
"No, not really."
"Good! There's... somepony who wants to see you."
"Okay. Where at?"
"At my castle. It's-"
"You have a CASTLE?!"
"Uh, yes?"
"That's awesome!"
"Well follow me and I'll show you." Can't argue with that. I follow Twilight to her castle, which is AWESOME! It's big, like any castle should be. And it has this crystal look which is really cool. I follow her inside which also looks cool. It's really royal looking and stuff. And there's also a purple baby dragon.
"This is Spike. Spike this is my friend Lightning."
"Sup?" I say casually.
"Hey." She leads me to a room where there is this mirror in the middle.
"So, uh where is the pony at?"
"She'll be here soon." Oh, it's a she? But before I can think of who it could possibly be, the mirror starts glowing.
"Uh, is that normal?"
"It just means that she's coming."
"So it's like a portal?" But then the pony comes through. A mare I haven't seen in a LONG time. I immediately run up and hug her and she almost falls back into the portal.
"Hey Lightning."
"Hey Sunset."
"I'll give you two some time to catch up." Twilight says, followed by the sound of the door closing. Me and Sunset just stand there hugging each other.
"So... It's been a while."
"Yeah. Definitely. I missed you."
"I missed you too Lightning." We finally break the hug. "How did Twilight find you through that mirror portal thing? And what's behind it?"
"Oh, you see, me and Twilight can communicate using this magic book. When she writes in it, it appears in a book that I have and vice versa."
"That's pretty cool."
"So how are things going with you?"
"Pretty good. I'm definitely enjoying hanging out with Rainbow Dash, my uh..."
"Aaaaw. Another one already?"
"That's exactly what my mom said. But it just sounds completely different coming from you."
"Yeah... Look, Lightning. I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For what I said before I left. For how I treated you when we broke up."
"Oh. That's alright. I'm just glad to see that you've changed since then."
"Me too." Our conversation lasts a little longer. We say bye and promise that we'll see each other again soon. Hopefully. She goes back through the portal and I leave the room.
"So, how'd it go?"
"It went pretty well. We promised to see each other again."
"That's nice. I'll be sure to tell you when she comes again."
"Cool." But as I leave, I can't help but have a couple of flashbacks from those days...
