Twilight walked through the very sophisticated town of Canterlot blindly. Not knowing which way she was headed or where she was going at all really put a toll on the young Twilight Sparkle. As Twilight walked around she ran into a pony. "Ugh! Look at her mane! It's absolutely dreadful! And she dares run into you honey!" Twilight heard a filly scream. Twilight opened her eyes to see a tall white unicorn with lavender eyes and a long pink mane looking at her in disgust, behind her three other fillies who did the same, and on the floor a white muscular unicorn colt with a blue mane who was looking at her back.
"I am so, sorry really! I wasn't paying attention-" Twilight started but was cut of by the colt.
"Oh, it's alright dear, I wasn't paying attention either. I was listening to this one blabbing about something." The colt rolled his eyes as he pointed at the mare with the long pink mane. Twilight giggled, at the colt who looked a bit older than her. "Say, are you new here?" The colt asked.
"Oh no. I've lived in Canterlot my whole life! I just don't got out much. You see I live in the castle with Princess Celestia, beca-" Twilight was cut off again. The for fillies gasped and the colt raised and eyebrow,
"You live in the castle, with the Princess?" He asked.
Twilight nodded as if it were no big deal, "Indeed. I live with her because she's my personal mentor and tutor." The lavender unicorn said with a smile.
"Well we should hang out more miss..." the colt asked reaching out to shaking Twilight's hoof.
"Twilight Sparkle." the unicorn smiled and shook the stallions' hoof.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Fancypants. Let's meet at the café near the castle around noon tomorrow okay?" Fancypants grinned. "I'll meet you there." Twilight grinned back. "It sounds like a date." Fancypants said before slowly trotting off.
Twilight smiled to herself as she trotted off in a different way than Fancypants, "This is so exciting! I have a date with a cute colt and I made one, maybe four new enemies!" Twilight almost squealed from the excitement. Twilight soon stopped in her tracks as she saw a group of fillies from her school. She took a deep breath and whispered to herself, "You can do this Twilight." She slowly trotted up to the group of unicorns who were talking to each other. Twilight was only three feet away from the fillies when she had a panic attack and ran away from the party of prating ponies and to the Canterlot Central Park where the perfect bench sat by a soothing water fountain.
Twilight galloped to the bench so she could have it to herself. When she got to the bench Twilight laid herself across it and pulled out The Legend of the Headless Horse. As she read she hummed a little song which was interrupted by a light blue unicorn colt with an aqua marine colored mane and the most beautiful eyes that was the purist of blues.
"I see your reading The Legend of the Headless Horse, it's one of my favorite books." The colt said with a smile. Twilight's heart jumped when she realized how handsome the colt was and how smart he seemed.
"Um...It's one of my favorites too. I've read it around 40 times."
The colt smiled wider, "Same here. Do you mind if I sit?" He asked. "No not at all." Twilight smiled awkwardly as she sat up on the bench so the colt could sit. "I'm Asteroid by the way." The colt grinned.
" I'm Twilight Sparkle."
The two stood there in silence for a while. "So are you new here?" Asteroid asked.
Twilight groaned, "Why does everypony keep asking me that?!? I guess it's because I've never been out of the cas-" the lavender pony started to rant but was stopped by Asteroid's hoof touching hers. Twilight looked into Asteroid's eyes and he was looking into hers. Twilight blushed and so the Asteroid which suddenly started to lean it slowly. Is he trying to kiss me? Should I do it?, Twilight asked herself before she leaned in too.
Soon the to ponies' lips touched and where then pulled apart by the two ponies. "I am so sorry! I don't know what got into me! I guess I just felt we had a connection. " Asteroid blushed as he blabbered.
"No apologies, I kind of liked it." Twilight blushed too.
"So... what do you want to name your kinds when you have some?" Asteroid said trying to strike up a conversation.
"Um... I've never thought of it. I guess if a filly, Galaxy and a colt... well I don't know. What about you?" Twilight asked.
"Well for a colt I would use Comet, for a filly Venus." Asteroid smiled, "I guess we're both into astronomy."
Twilight nodded, "Yes, my father is an astronomer at the Observatory, he got me started. Now occasionally I go star gazing by myself because my assistant in training can't stay up late." Twilight said to her first friend.
"I love stargazing. See at my school we have a stargazing club but I'm the only one in it." Asteroid said sadly.
"Well if I went to your school I would obviously join your club." Twilight beamed trying to cheer Asteroid up. Asteroid looked at Twilight and smiled.
"Hey, we should go stargazing tonight. The sky is supposed to be clear until tomorrow morning." Asteroid suggested. Twilight looked at the sky for the sun which was almost down.
"Okay sounds fun! I'll meet you at the edge of town at 10 o'clock sharp!" Twilight said with a smile.
Asteroid nodded, "I'll see you there, Goodbye Twilight Sparkle." He said before he ran off.
"Goodbye Asteroid!" She waved before she headed back for the castle.
