Naruto and the Sparkling Heart
Twilight Version
By: Andrew Pulliam
Chapter 1
Enter Naruto
A loud bang startles Twilight as she's thrown from her bed to the floor. Her purple hair and fur get slightly messy because of it. She gets up on all four of her hooves and heads down the stairs to check on Spike, her purple baby dragon companion. Somehow the loud bang didn't bother him because he was snoring away in his little bed. Twilight shook her head feeling like it must have been her imagination, but in the back of her mind she couldn't help but feel like something happened to somebody.
Twilight decided to go take a look and figure out what made that loud bang. She didn't go out three steps before seeing a large smoke cloud where the bang's source lay. Twilight felt like she should get her friends but it was late and she didn't want to wake them if this was nothing. She decided not to wake anyone and go by herself. It shouldn't be that bad, probably just a rock or some stupid accident.
Twilight made her way through the dark streets of Ponyville feeling a little intimidated because it has been awhile since she was out this late. She felt like going back but she knew she had a duty to the ponies here to make sure that nothing was amiss. Her teacher and friend Princess Celestia would probably be upset if this happened to be some evil being and she did nothing about it.
Although she was scared she went on ahead to where the crater lay. When she looked down she couldn't believe what she saw. At the bottom of the crater lay an orange pony with blonde spiky hair and tail. The cutie mark was a red swirl. She quickly jumped into the crater not caring if it was a trap because this pony needed help. "Hey are you alright?" Twilight asked which made no sense. Who asks someone who has created a crater and is unconscious if they are okay?
Twilight didn't know what to expect, but she knew that she had to get this pony out of here. Using her powers she raised the pony into the air and began leading it to an empty cart that was conveniently parked a few feet away from the crater. Placing the pony on the cart she heard a moan come from the pony that made her look that way. From the sound of the moan Twilight could tell that it was a stallion. Although Twilight was a little hesitant to take a stallion to her home she had little choice. No pony in all of Ponyville would be awake to take care of him.
Realizing this she let out a heavy sigh as she started to pull the cart back to Ponyville. When she arrived she again used her powers to get the stallion inside. Judging from his size, Twilight guessed that this pony was as old as she was. Seeing the pony sleep brought a smile to her face and her face blushed when she realized that a stallion was in her room. She decided to get some rest and hoped that the pony wouldn't wake up before her.
If he did though that may cause trouble, so she decided to sleep near him, unfortunately the closest place to him was in the bed next to him. Again her face went red because of the thought of sleeping with a stallion right next to her. The second that she lifted the covers the orange pony stirred. She jumped back lifting her left front hoof in surprise as the pony woke. The stallion had blue eyes that sparkled when the moonlight hit them. She blushed again when he looked right at her.
"Thank goodness you're okay." She smiled at him hoping it would calm him down. The stallion screamed as he had no idea what was going on.
"What the heck is going on?" He screamed jumping against the wall. "How are you able to talk? Ponies can't…." He looked at himself realizing now that he was a pony. "What happened to me?"
"Whoa calm down." Twilight tried to calm him down, but the more she talked the more he seemed to freak out. Using her powers she grabbed some thread and tied it around the mouth of the pony, so he would stop screaming but could still talk. "Can you tell me your name now? Mine's Twilight."
"Name's Naruto," He said with his mouth slightly tied. "Can you tell me where I am and how I am a pony?"
"You must have hit your head pretty hard?" She said picking his face up to look her in the eyes. Her purple eyes were like small beams of pure light to Naruto because he couldn't look away no matter how much he wanted to. Her eyes were the most beautiful things he has ever seen.
Naruto tried remembering what happened to him but as far as he could remember or as much as he could remember was that he wasn't supposed to be a pony. However he didn't know what he was supposed to be, so he pretty much guessed that he was turned into a pony for a reason. He would have to figure it out while figuring out why he was here. "Twilight?" He asked a little nervous because he wasn't sure if he could trust her or not. "Where am I?"
"Well you're on Equestria in a town called Ponyville." Twilight added the planet's name because she thought that he might ask that. "I could show you around if you want, but it'll have to wait for morning." Naruto nodded as he tried to walk but immediately stumbled and landed on his chin. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah," Naruto said getting on all four hooves, "but I don't really know how to walk like a pony." Twilight gave a light chuckle which made Naruto a little irritated.
"Well walking like a pony is easy." Twilight said getting next to Naruto. "Pick both of your left legs up and put them in front of your right." Naruto did what Twilight said and was walking fine in no time. "See it's easy."
"Thanks Twilight." Naruto said rubbing his head against her. Twilight's face flushed up a little as no one has ever done this before. Naruto quickly jumped off realizing what he had just done. "Don't take it the wrong way Twilight. I didn't know what I was doing. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just don't do that again alright." She said shaking her head of silly thoughts. "You can stay here tonight, come on I'll show you where you can sleep."
Naruto followed Twilight up the stairs and went into a room where Spike was snoring away. Naruto went over to the little guy but Twilight jumped out in front of him stopping him. She didn't want to have to explain to him why there was a boy in the house. "Just sleep on the floor right now, if it's okay." Twilight was a little upset because she forgot that there wasn't any other place where Naruto could sleep.
"It's fine besides you've already been a great help. I'm indebted to you." Naruto said smiling. Twilight smiled back as she climbed back into her bed and fell asleep.
Naruto didn't lie on the ground he wanted to figure out what she was going to do when morning came. However, Naruto's body was exhausted and as he tried to leave his body collapsed from exhaustion. He fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up Spike was right over him staring right into his eyes. Naruto had a sweat drop on his head as Spike didn't move his head. "Twilight," Spike called out running toward the exit, "he's awake."
Naruto thought there would be a lot more drama from the small dragon that Twilight had kept him from seeing last night. He walked to a window and looked out to see that many other ponies were running about. He was amazed at how peaceful the place looked from the window. He was anxious to get outside, but he didn't want to leave Twilight because he felt slightly drawn to her.
Twilight appeared in the doorway and Naruto looked at her. "Did you try and leave last night?" Naruto stepped back a step because he felt a little guilty for trying to leave without telling her. "You should've told me I would have stopped you. You literally crashed into the ground so I wasn't surprised when I woke to find you on your side. You had me scared there for a few moments."
"Twilight!" A very excited and joyful voice called out from the entrance.
"Oh no." Twilight said turning around slightly surprised. Naruto was confused on what was so bad about the voice, but little did he know that he was going to regret saying that in his head.
A pink pony with balloons on its back legs and pink hair rushed in looking like she had just seen the best thing ever. "Oh my gosh!" The pink pony rushed at Naruto stopping within inches of his face. "Hello! Hello! My names Pinky Pie what's yours?"
Naruto felt very uncomfortable around this pony. "Names Naruto, didn't Twilight tell you?"
"No! In fact this is first I've even seen or heard about you." Pinky was a little overly excited. Naruto wanted to back away but his rear was already against the wall. He was between a rock and a hard place.
"She's always this way so don't worry about it." Twilight pulled him out from between the wall and Pinky Pie. "Pinky Pie what are you doing here?"
"Well I came by to tell you that Applejack needed help with the farm and finding some…thing. But then I saw Naruto. Is he your boyfriend? HE's your boyfriend isn't he? Oh Twilight why didn't you tell me or the others?"
"He's not my boyfriend. I met him yesterday, and he is rather new. Tell Applejack we'll be there when I'm done showing him around." Twilight said acting slightly calm, which was greatly difficult considering being calm around Pinky Pie is hard.
"Okay see you!" Pinky darted out the door leaving a cloud of dust behind her. Naruto's mouth hung open because of how much energy Pinky had.
"She's one of my friends, you'll get used to her." Twilight said smiling but Naruto highly doubted that he would ever get used to that pony. Twilight started heading for the exit startling Naruto who ran to her side bumping into her. "Watch it okay, you don't have to be in a hurry. I'm not going to leave you."
Naruto felt strangely relieved knowing that Twilight said something like that. Naruto didn't know anything about this place and the only friend he had if that was Twilight so for her to say that meant a lot. Twilight brought them through many streets of Ponyville showing him where all the stores and shops were. Naruto was very interested in the town and he felt happy that Twilight was willing to be this kind to him.
Suddenly a rainbow shot over him. "Hey Twi who's that with you?" Naruto looked up to see a sky blue pony with wings and a lightning bolt on its back legs.
"This is Naruto." Twilight said to the flying pony with a loud voice. She then turned to Naruto, "Naruto this is Rainbow Dash. She's a Pegasus. I have another friend like her, well another that can fly named Fluttershy but we'll meet her when that time comes okay."
"Hey RD." Naruto said to Rainbow Dash who looked at him a little puzzled. "Sorry I thought calling you by your initials would be okay."
"Nah it's cool, I just prefer my name to some nickname is all." Rainbow Dash landed on the ground in front of him. "So are you all headed over to Applejack's to help out?"
"We were just about to head over there actually." Twilight said looking at Naruto with a smile. He couldn't help but smile back at her.
The three of them walked together when a white pony with blue-violet hair appeared. "Oh my, who's this?" The pony sounded elegant to Naruto as she seemed to be judging Naruto as she looked at him.
"Rarity this is Naruto he's a friend of mine I met yesterday." Twilight sounded slightly irritated. Naruto guessed it was because she had to do this every time one of her friends showed up. All of them were beautiful to Naruto and he guessed that they were all his friends to.
"Nice to meet you Rarity, names Naruto." Naruto knelt to her feeling like he had to. Rarity let out a gasp as did the other two. "What? I thought that she deserved it because of how elegant she sounded. Was I wrong?"
"Oh heavens no." Rarity said before the other two had a chance to speak. "I appreciate the compliment but I am but a normal pony like Twilight and Rainbow Dash here. There is no need for those formalities, but if you feel as though you must go right ahead."
Naruto felt a little better knowing that this pony was just like the other two. He soon heard somebody step on a stick. He turned to see a bright yellow colored pony with pink hair looking out from behind a corner. Naruto took a step towards the pony and she disappeared behind the wall. He ran to the corner looking past to see that no one was there. He soon heard the sound of wings and looked up. "Hey that's where you went." He said smiling making the pony come down. "I'm Naruto what's your name?"
"I'm Fluttershy." Her voice was soft and sweet like honey to Naruto. "Are you friends with Twilight and the others?"
"Yeah, we were just on our way to Applejack's family farm to help her out." Naruto felt like he could really open up to this pony. "Were you heading there to? If so come with us I'd like to get to know all of Twilight's friends."
Fluttershy originally didn't know whether she could trust him or not, but Naruto seemed to be a nice guy. No later than she nodded her head the five new friends began heading over to Applejack's family farm. Pinky Pie joined them about halfway to the farm.
"Oh ya'll are here that's great." Naruto looked to see a bright orange pony holding a rope with her mouth trying to get a really heavy hay bale up the barn. Naruto heard a small snapping and looked at the rope to see that it was giving out. It was about to snap and Naruto had to act. He ran at the pony not caring what happened to him. The rope snapped and the pony looked up in horror as the heavy bale fell towards her. It crashed into the ground, but Naruto got to her in time and they both found themselves on the other side of the bale in each other's arms.
Naruto looked at the pony and couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. She had blonde hair that was glowing in the sunlight. Her green eyes were remarkable, he couldn't look away. To him they were more mesmerizing then Twilight's. "Are you okay?"
"I reckon so." Her country accent was just an extra to how amazing Naruto thought she was. "I'm Applejack."
Naruto quickly got up realizing this was the pony they were coming to help. "I'm Naruto. I got here yesterday, it's n-nice to meet you." He didn't understand why but he was extremely nervous. "Oh is this yours?" Naruto took a cowboy hat off his head and placed it back on Applejack who thanked him.
The five others came from around the bale to see if their friends were okay and found them to be just fine. "Well since ya'll are here we should get to work." Applejack gave everyone a different job to do around the farm. Naruto was put on fencing with Applejack and he stayed close to her so that he could get everything right.
Applejack found Naruto's determination amazing. There was a sudden gust of wind that caught her hat making it fly into a nearby tree. "Darn," Applejack was upset that her hat had fallen into a tree.
Naruto saw this and jumped into the air grabbing it with his mouth. He somehow knew he could jump that high. He landed on the ground to a shocked Applejack who looked at him with wonder. He put the hat back on her and she shook her head to get herself back to the world. "Wow, how did you do that?" She asked confused on how any pony without wings could reach that high.
"I just know how." Naruto didn't know any other way to describe it. "I can't really explain it any better sorry."
"It's okay not like I'm gonna try that. So where do He put the hat back on her and she shook her head to get herself back to the world. "Wow, how did you do that?" She asked confused on how any pony without wings could reach that high.
"I just know how." Naruto didn't know any other way to describe it. "I can't really explain it any better sorry."
"It's okay not like I'm gonna try that. So where do you come from?" Applejack was interested in Naruto now, however she didn't realize that at that moment she was beginning to feel slightly more drawn to him.
"Truthfully I don't know myself." Naruto said looking down. "I barely remember my past, but even though I can't remember anything I will still live even if that means living here. I just gotta find a place to sleep now."
"Whatcha mean?" Applejack asked a slight bit concerned at that point.
"Well Twilight was kind enough to let me sleep at her place yesterday when she found me but I don't want to be a freeloader so I'm going to try and find my own place to live in here." Naruto was determined to find his own living even if that meant looking for days.
"Well I hope you find yourself a good home." applejack looked up at the sky feeling slightly guilty because he could stay at the farm, there was plenty of room. She soon realized what she was thinking and she shook her head.
"Thanks," Naruto said with a smile, "after I'm done I'll go look for a place where I can call my own. But I am going to live here in Ponyville so I will be looking for a place here."
"That's great." Applejack was a little too happy hearing that. She quickly blushed at her own words. Naruto looked at her with wide eyes because it sounded like Applejack wanted him to be close by. She just wanted him to have friends close by incase of a jam.
They were halfway through the work when Naruto heard what sounded like a growling and looked up to see red eyes looking right at him. Naruto got ready to fight as a small rabbit jumped out from the bushes. "Angel what are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked the small rabbit who quickly jumped onto her.
Naruto felt slightly embarrassed that he was afraid of a rabbit but he didn't know what it was because the rabbit was in the shadows. Fluttershy picked the rabbit up flapping her wings as she headed inside the house. Naruto was starting to get exhausted because his body was still worn out from whatever happened to him yesterday.
Nobody was around him so he let out a cry of pain because he felt if he held it in any longer he would have exploded. Apparently everyone heard it because all six of the girls ran over to him. "Hey you okay Naruto?" Applejack asked first as the other five came up from behind.
"Yeah, my body just feels like it's in a lot of pain. I just had to cry out sorry for scaring you all." Naruto said laughing slightly.
Everyone had this upset look because they all thought that he was really hurt, but hearing that he was just exhausted was annoying. Naruto got back to work placing the last of the fencing materials where Applejack had told him to place them. HE wondered if any of the girls disliked him but he thought that that was impossible. All six of them were incredible and he was lucky that he could call them his friends.
When he finished he went to go help Applejack with her work and saw that her tail was stuck in the ground by one of the fencing. He ran over and back kicked the fencing out releasing her tail. Naruto was happy that she was free but his body howled with pain because he had used a lot of strength with that kick. "You okay Applejack?"Naruto asked slightly concerned as he looked at her tail.
"Yeah it happens but thanks for the help." Applejack's smile sent waves down Naruto's back that almost made him collapse. He was ready to collapse again but Applejack's smile somehow gave him strength. He found himself gaining energy the more Applejack's smile held. When she dropped the smile and got back to work Naruto found himself with a ton of energy.
"Hey is there anything else I can do to help you Applejack?" Naruto asked wanting to be of more help to her.
"Nah you're good. You've done more than you needed so why don't cha go look for that place in Ponyville you wanted to find." Applejack said turning to go check on how the others were fairing.
Naruto didn't have time to thank her as she was already gone. He felt like she would never truly appreciate him but he was happy that she was his friend. Naruto ran off the farm jumping over bushes and into trees like the ninja that he once was, but forgot. He arrived back in the main part of town where everyone looked at him with quizzical looks. He felt like they were all afraid of him, but he didn't know why. He was one of them so why did he feel like everyone didn't want him around.
Naruto saw a shadow far off in the distance and headed for it. When he reached the shadow he saw that it was a rundown house. Naruto's eyes glowed with inspiration as he knew this was going to be his new home. Naruto walked into the open doorway and was hit with a blast of dust. Little did he know that he was being watched by Twilight who had followed him from the farm without having anyone spot her. She watched as he walked inside the house to take a better look. She followed him as far as the door so that she wouldn't be discovered.
"Wow this place is incredible I can't believe no one owns this place." Naruto said looking all around. Twilight looked inside and noticed that the place was completely dusty and was in need of desperate renovation. She suddenly put a hoof down on the old wooden door and it squeaked loudly. Naruto spun around to see Twilight standing in the doorway. "What are you doing out there? Are you done helping Applejack?"
"Yeah I just wanted to know where you were going is all." Twilight said a little nervous about talking to Naruto. "Is this where you plan on staying?"
"Yep I think this place has great potential and I want to live here and do what I can for you and the others." Naruto walked over to Twilight and held out a hoof. Twilight looked at it with a bit of confusion but then reached her hand out and shook it. "Twilight I'm glad you're hear but I don't want you to help if you don't want to. I can do this on my own anyway."
"Naruto don't be stupid it would take several ponies to clean this place. I will help you because you helped me and my friends." Twilight said as she began to place fallen pieces of wood back up where they had fallen from. She used some magic to make sure that they would stay and Naruto was amazed at how awesome Twilight was with magic.
Naruto didn't want to be out done so he started to clean all the floors as fast as he could, using his tail and brushes to clean the floors. He had found brushes in a closet and strapped them to his hooves, basically he was wearing brush skates. He looked over to Twilight to see that she was almost halfway done with her side and he got slightly irritated. His face turned stern and he sped up causing large clouds of dust to fly into the air.
Naruto wasn't really paying much attention as he rammed into Twilight. They both fell to the floor. When they opened their eyes they found themselves very close to one another. Naruto stood above Twilight with his head mere inches from her. Twilight had wide eyes as this was the closest any boy besides her brother has ever been. She began to feel a pounding in her chest she wanted to look down but she couldn't take her eyes off Naruto.
He quickly jumped realizing what happened. "Sorry about that Twilight. I saw that you were close to be done and I didn't want you to beat me. I guess I got carried away." Naruto gave a small smile and then a small laugh. He truly didn't know how she would respond, but he hoped that it wouldn't be negative.
Twilight got to her feet and shook her head bringing her heart down to the right beat. "It's no problem Naruto it was an accident. Naruto I hope you don't mind me asking but are you sure that you want to be here alone? What would happen if something from the Everfree Forest came here when you were asleep?" She wondered why she asked that. She saw what he was capable of yet she feared for his life when she didn't need to. She wanted answers to why she was feeling this way.
"I'll be fine Twilight." Naruto said sweeping up a little more dust from the floor. "I appreciate the concern though. It feels nice to know that someone cares about you. If you need anything Twilight don't hesitate to ask okay?" He said putting his front right hoof on her shoulder.
Twilight felt warmth coming from his hoof. She liked the feeling more than she believed that she should have. "Thanks Naruto but I doubt that I'll be needing your help for much but again thank you." Twilight didn't know why she sounded so sassy, but she did. She normally wouldn't act like this, she needed to get home and research the probable cause for these feelings and actions. "I have to go Naruto I'll see you later I guess."
Twilight ran out of the house and headed straight for Ponyville not looking back. She didn't want any of those feelings keeping her at that place any longer. Naruto watched her leaver and felt a certain emptiness inside. He wanted to see her safely to her house but she ran out so fast that he didn't get the chance to ask. "Oh well," He said to himself facing back inside the house, "gotta get the rest of this place cleaned up. The next time Twilight comes over I'll show her how good I am."
Twilight made it back home after passing many of her friends who couldn't get a word in to ask her about anything. She rushed in, passing Spike who had just finished re-shelving the books. Twilight began using her powers to try and find any book that could possibly have the answer to her rapidly beating heart. She was throwing down book upon book finding that she had nothing that could answer her worry.
"Twilight what in tarnation are ya' doin'?" Applejack came in with Rarity and Rainbow Dash following. "Why are you pulling through all those books? I don't see why at such a later hour why you'd have to read?"
"I'm not looking for a book to read I'm looking for a book that can tell me why my heart raced so fast when we were alone." She kept looking not even giving her friends the courtesy to look at them. "We were alone when we first met and I didn't feel this way and now I do? I have to figure out what happened."
"Dearie are you saying that your heart raced when you were with Naruto? Did the two of you happen to be close together?" Rarity asked feeling like she had the answer to Twilight's problem. Twilight nodded as she continued to search through her library. "Well if that's the case then you won't find the answer in any of your books."
"Why not? I have a book on practically anything that I would need in case of an emergency, how can you say I don't have anything on these feelings?" Twilight asked feeling angry that her friends weren't supporting her.
"I'm with Twilight on this." Rainbow stepped in getting her two cents in, "Twilight has like a thousand books Rarity how could she not have an answer in one of them?" Rarity couldn't help but give a small giggle.
"Well do you have any books on the heart?" Rarity asked making everyone raise an eyebrow. "Oh for goodness sakes do you have anything that talks about two ponies being together?"
"Why would I need a book like that? But yeah I have a few." Using her powers Twilight brought down a large book with a beat up cover however the remains of what she thought was a heart could still be seen on it. "I don't know why you would ask me if I had something like this but this can't be the reason my heart is currently racing."
"On the contrary Twilight," Rarity opened the book and it fell upon a page where a female pony's heart looked to be beating fast and the boy pony stood very close, "this is the book you would need to read if you want to know. I believe that you might like Naruto."
"Me like Naruto?" Twilight looked at her with wide eyes, "That's ridiculous. We've only just met and you think I like him like that? Rarity stop trying to tease me."
"I am not trying to tease you dear, look here." Rarity put a hoof down on the page and Twilight looked deeply into the words taking them in for everything they were. Suddenly she saw the words falling in love come under the girl and she couldn't believe it.
"There's no way, it can't be!" Twilight was shouting now and Applejack actually clamped her mouth shut with her hooves. After Twilight calmed down Applejack released. "Sorry about that girls, but I can't believe that I'm in love with him. I can't even say that I like him."
"Sweetheart all the signs point here." Rarity said closing the book and setting it on the ground where all the other books Twilight tried searching through had been placed. "Don't deny what your heart is telling you. If you feel this way after just meeting then you two were destined for each other."
"Rarity you know I don't believe in all that soul mate stuff." Twilight said standing her ground. "I could have just been nervous about being alone with a boy in general. I know for a fact that I don't have any special feelings for Naruto."
"If you say so." Applejack said standing over next to Rarity. "I'm with Rarity, although I don't personally believe in the fated couple thing. I reckon that you do like him somewhat. If you didn't you wouldn't have been searching for the answer."
Twilight didn't want to admit it but Applejack was making sense. Why had she been in such a rush to get away from him? Why was her heart still beating right now, it felt like it was running a marathon to her. She wanted it to stop but she didn't know how to make it stop. "I don't know but it's late and we should all get some sleep for tomorrow. I'll see you girls tomorrow then."
The girls said their goodbyes and exited Twilight's home. "Twilight," Spike, Twilight's assistant and the dragon from earlier, said walking to her side, "Are you sure you don't like him because if I remember correctly you were in a hurry to be alone with him. Why was that?"
"Spike please don't be taking their sides now. I don't like him. That's the end of the discussion Spike now let's go to bed because we have to get the town ready for Celestia's arrival." Twilight said making her way to her bedroom.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot that she was coming tomorrow. I guess all that excitement really hit my head huh." Spike said trying to make Twilight smile.
Twilight hugged Spike and he hugged her back. She was like his mother, well technically she is considering she hatched him from his egg. "Spike it's okay at least Naruto was there to save Applejack." She said smiling at her assistant. "I'm glad that he's our friend and I think he feels the same way. Oh almost forgot to go lock the door. Spike you head on up I'll meet you there."
Sometime before Twilight began looking for the answer to her beating heart Naruto was cleaning his house when he spotted something. It sparkled and when he picked it up it looked to some kind of medallion. He placed it on his dusty table and began examining it closer. Soon he realized that Twilight must have dropped this. He left his house and bolted for Twilight's place. He looked up and the skies did not look nice. He had to hurry if he was to make it there and back before the rain. He reached her house but didn't put the brakes on early enough and flew at the door.
Twilight reached the front door as it flew open with Naruto flying in right at her. They collided and hit one of her many shelves knocking several books down to the ground. "Naruto what are you doing here?" Twilight asked getting to her feet. "I thought you were going to stay at your house for the night."
"I was until I saw this." He held up the medallion which Twilight then took using her powers. "I immediately knew it had to belong to you so I rushed over here to give it back unfortunately I came to fast and couldn't hit the brakes, sorry."
"It's okay but you should get back before the rain," A lightning bolt came followed by thunder and then heavy rain, "starts." Twilight looked outside and saw that any pony that dared go out into this would surely be risking their life. "Naruto I have a spare room that you can stay in for the night. Also, when I said can I meant will."
"Okay." He said knowing that he wasn't going home in this weather. "I don't want to be a burden but thank you Twilight. I am very happy that I met you first you know."
"What do you mean by that Naruto?" Twilight asked as her faced blushed with emotion. "If you're talking about when I carried you here in that cart with my magic it was nothing anyone would have done it."
"But not just anyone did. You did Twilight, and I am very happy that it was you." He didn't know why these words were coming out of his mouth but he couldn't stop them. "If it was just anyone they would have just tended my injuries or whatever was wrong with me and have sent me off. You on the other hand stayed at my side and even showed me around Ponyville. I don't think just anyone would do that. You're special Twilight and believe me when I say this I am very happy to call you a friend."
Naruto headed for the guest room not realizing what he had done. Twilight stood in the middle of the main floor of the house staring down at the ground. Her heart was racing even faster than it had originally been. She placed her front left hoof over her heart and felt its rapid pace. She couldn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it, but Rarity was right. She liked Naruto. No matter how much she wanted to say otherwise she couldn't deny the pounding in her chest. That wasn't a lie.
Using her powers she grabbed the book that Rarity said she should read. She opened it and saw that she had just experienced one of the stories within the book. She was baffled by this. Never had she thought that any pony would take her heart. She always thought it would be some prince from another kingdom, but no her heart had been taken within twenty-four hours by Naruto. She continued to look through the book until she got to a page where two ponies were kissing each other.
Her powers stopped and the book slammed into the ground. She looked around quickly hoping that neither Spike nor Naruto came out of their rooms. When she was sure that she hadn't disturbed them she went back to the book. She read the small passage that went with the picture.
"They couldn't stand it any longer, their hearts were full of lust and they had to obtain these feeling now. They looked at each other in the eyes and lust was seen by both. They slowly began to get closer to one another as their eyes began to close." The more that Twilight read the more excited she got, but also the more her heart raced. "Their lips met and they embraced each other holding each other close as they allowed the kiss to take over."
Twilight couldn't read anymore for her heart felt like it would explode. After reading that she couldn't help but wonder if she would get that way with Naruto. She shook her head violently. She couldn't believe what she was thinking there was no certainty that she liked him that much. She headed up the stairs and went to her room where Spike was already sound asleep snoring away. She climbed into her bed and tried falling asleep but the moment her eyes shut she saw herself kissing Naruto as passionately as the two from the book were.
She sprang forward and felt the tugging at her heart and body. She wanted to be next to Naruto but she fought against it not wanting to be controlled by some silly feelings she felt weren't real. However the more she tried saying she didn't like him the more her heart raced. She forced herself to sleep and prayed that she would be back to normal by tomorrow morning.
