Headline and the Power of Friendship (Book 1)

by Headline

Ch. 6: The First Meeting in a long time

Half a year later and my son, Headline, has not seen his friends in a very long time since before he graduated. After all, Headline was trying to focus more on his studies then his friends. I did not mean to push him that hard but he stayed focused and I'm happy about that. However, he suddenly forgot about friendship for a while until he bumped into a familiar face.

“Hmm...What do I need to buy at the market today? Let's see...”
He searched quickly in his wallet for the list of things to get when suddenly...

“Oh!”

“Ah!”

“Oh my...I'm so sorry, I...I didn't see you there.” The Pegasus said.

“No, it was my fault.” Headline said. “I wasn't watching where I was going and...”
Suddenly, Headline looked at her as if he knew her before.

“Wait.”
And just like that, he remembered.

“FLUTTERSHY!” He said out loud. Some of the ponies wondered why Headline yelled like that. “Whoops, sorry about that.”

“Wait, how do you know my...OH, HEADLINE!” Fluttershy said at her loudest volume which was quiet by the way. “I have not seen you in a very long time.”

“Same here. It is so good to see you.” Without thinking, Headline hugged Fluttershy. “Oh, sorry, got too excited again.”

“That's o.k. How have you been doing?” Fluttershy asked.

“Great, just going to the market right now getting food for myself at my own home.”

“Oh! Where do you live exactly?”

“I live in the center of Ponyville now. I'm fascinated by the ponies’ way of life then being stuck up in the clouds all my life. I thought I would rather adapt to how the ponies live down here and meet new friends while I'm at it.”

“Oh, if it's new friends you are looking for...” Fluttershy says excitably. “I can show you some new friends.”

“Awesome, do you have time?”

“Sure, come with me.”

“I need to get some food but I guess that can wait.”

Author's Note:

This chapter is about Headline's return with Fluttershy after not speaking to her since his harsh study time and no talk with friends. Which is why, Headline started to act a little like Twilight before knowing about friendship. It's weird, but this is how Headline feels like he is himself again.
