> Winters First Love > by Wise Owl > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Being Honest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was almost 2a.m. A sky blue pegasus just couldn't get to sleep. "Agh!" she groaned she just could not get a special purple alicorn mare out of her head, over time she started developing strong feelings for Twilight Sparkle. She finally admitted to herself how much she actually loved her. "I need to tell her how I feel! But how?" She thought hard for a few minutes. "Maybe I can tell one of my friends! But Rarity is in Canterlot for her dress making business, Fluttershy would be to shy to even talk about it and Pinkie Pie..... well she would go postal!" "But maybe I could ask Apple Jack for some advice on how to tell twilight how I feel." When she conveniences herself to go to AJ for help she finally goes to sleep from exhaustion. After a day of getting ready for the first snow storm of winter, she finally finishes and flies down to Sweet Apple Acres were Apple Jack lives. As she walks throw the orchard towards the farm (which was a good 30 min walk), she stops. "Why is it so hard to admit it." "What is so hard to admit, Rainbow?" I turn around in surprise and let out a sigh of relief; it was just AJ. I forced the words out. "I was actually looking for you." "What for sugarcube. Is something wrong? " I bit my lip not wanting to say more but I continue. "No nothing is wrong. I just came to ask you for some advice........ in private." "Okay sugarcube, come now sit down next to me." She still had some concern in her voice but also with a hint curiosity. We sat down under a big tree over looking the fields. Both of us didn't talk for a while, finally Apple Jack broke the silence. "So what did ya want to talk about?" "I need some advice on how to tell......" I trailed off not wanting to say more. "How to tell...." she beckons me to continue. I continued to hesitate to say more "a special somepony that I l-love....." I stop not wanting to say that I'm in love with a mare not a stallion. Apple Jack smiles  "Oohh advise about that!" "So who's the lucky stallion? Tell me so I can help ya." "You promise not to laugh or be grossed out or tell." she looked at me strange. "Why would I be grossed out?" "Do you promise our not." "I promise, cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." I took a deep breath "I'm I in l-l-l-ov......" I just couldn't get it out. I had kept this feelings so tightly sealed in me that it was so hard to admit it. I look around, the sights were awesome. I make sure that no one is there and then I finally blurt it out. "I'M IN LOVE WITH TWILIGHT!" I slammed my hoof over my mouth and look down not wanting to see Apple Jack's look of disgust.But instead of a look of disgust she hugged me gently. "There there sugar, it's okay." "It's not okay.  One thing is that I fell in love with a best friend but she's a mare and I am a mare that isn't right!" "It's okay to fall in love with a mare and it's okay to fall in love with a friend, that just means y'all are closer." "For example I kinda have a crush on Luna." I look up I can see a blush on her face " Since when ." "For a while now, but the point is love work's in mysterious ways you just have to follow your heart." I look at her, my normal attitude coming back. I am determined to tell Twilight how I feel. "How do I tell her that I l-love her?" "In my opinion you should be 100% honest with her, but do it some where private to show your true feelings." "But if she doesn't love me back. Not only would I make it awkward but I may loss her as a friend forever." "Don't you worry your pretty little head sugar, y'all are very close you shouldn't let it ruin ya friendship. Now just trust me Rainbow." "Okay, thanks for the advice AJ." I looked up. The snow should start falling by ten and it was almost nine "We better get going AJ the first winter storm starts at ten tonight." She nods. We say our good bye's and before I turn to leave I say "good luck with Luna, AJ! " Before I turn away I see a blush spread across her face, I smile to myself. I spread my wings and I fly towards my cloud home I thought how great would it be if Twilight loved me back. "Tomorrow I will go to the library and tell her how I fell." She smiled the biggest grin while she walked into her cloud home and went straight for the kitchen "Man I just didn't know how hungry I was!" When she finished eating her lunch she looked out the window, the snow was swirling around. Then she thought. "What would my special mare be doing right now." she sighed then she perked up a little. "AJ is right. I need to tell Twilight or I am going to drive myself insane... At least tomorrow I finally going to get this secret off my chest." She goes up to her room and as soon as her head hits the pillow, she is fast asleep.
