Light Luster had friends. That was true. But he'd never had a friend like Orange Fizz. So, when he was asked to leave the only city he'd ever lived in, how could he say no? They wouldn't be gone forever, and a smiling face covered in snowy freckles is very difficult to say no to.

Bicyclette

Bicyclette #1 · Dec 25th, 2023 · 1 · · Chapter One - Light Luster ·

And yet, there were so few sources documenting the stars. So few ponies have researched the travelling of the galaxies and just how many different patterns they create. Absolutely baffling. How could anypony glance up at the dazzling blanket of stars and not want to know everything about it?

really makes you think, especially me as someone who admittedly looks up at the dazzling blanket of stars and doesn’t want to know everything about it (great job getting the feeling of the viewpoint character about this across tho!)

As a soft magic glow enveloped the gold door handles and pulled the doors open, he ran through a list of his tasks for the day; Studying the effects of different plant growth potions in Chemistry, trying Starswirl the Bearded's spell for disguise and transformation in Magic Studies, another class on the first defeat of Discord in Equestrian History, studying the anatomy and magic of chimeras in Magical Creatures, a test on the different plants in the Everfree Forest and their corresponding magical properties in Botany, more notes on the terrain and dangers of the Badlands in Geography, and an in-depth look at Unweildy Curses in Curses and Charms. He needed to visit the library during Study Hall, and the Astrology Club had a meeting after school.

dang these unicorns are getting quite an education! though i guess if you laid out everything a human high school student is supposed to learn in a day it could seem just as much of a lot to ponies

He seemed... delightful.

ehehe

"Hello, Fizz. Thank you for arriving on time to your first day in my class. Shows just how much you respect me and my time."

gottem

Light could feel icy claws reaching for his heart, panic seeping into his chest. Another pony who's heard the rumours - the truth, actually - and immediately hated him. It was fine. He'd done this before.

oof that is quite the social anxiety

"I was just going to do, um, Smooth Note's crop potion and a few others from other botanists." Sweet Celestia, he sounded stupid. Light's voice was getting quieter with every word, and it felt like as soon as they were out, they wanted to pry open his jaws and crawl back down his throat. Fizz just nodded, and if he didn't know better, Light could've sworn there was a small tilt in the corners of his lips. "I guess I'll just... go and get the stuff now."

painfully awkward love it

As they were leaving though, there was something he spotted that he hadn't noticed before; Except for another patch of white freckles, Fizz's flank was blank. He didn't have a cutie mark. That was certainly... new. Light had never met a pony without a cutie mark other than young foals, and this pony was his age, if not a little older, though he hadn't exactly asked. He'd have to ask Fizz about it.

ooh there is certainly a story behind that!

It was obviously a sore spot, and Light held no place to be all up in random ponies' businesses. Of course, couldn't hurt to wonder, could it? Unless, wondering led to more questions you wanted answers to.

that is how it tends to go, isn’t it?

i gotta say i was skeptical of an all-OC story by a new writer but dang you really do have chops! even despite the mundane setting and the shortness of what is written so far, this setup is engaging and i hope to see more from you
