When the love Sparks
It was Zerox's first day in Ponyville High. He was interested in what was going on there. You could see that there were definitely a lot of different groups of ponies. Some ponies liked talking, others played games, others just walked around. It was on this day that Zerox heard some loud yelling. Instinctively, he ran towards the fiasco, wondering what he was going to see. Discord? A fight? He had no idea, but he knew that he wanted to help whoever was in need. He found one of his new friends, Twilight Sparkle, crying on the ground. There were a few ponies standing around her in a circle, yelling at her.
"What'cha gonna do, nerd?" shouted one of the ponies at Twilight. "No-one cares about you! Why? Because you're a nerd! You're a loser! You're the lease popular pony in the WHOLE of EQUESTRIA!"
Zerox noticed this, and he didn't take to this kindly. "Hey! Back off, or you'll find that you're in the wrong neck of the woods!"
The pony just smirked. "Oh, this must be the 'little brave hero' of your little love story. You know what? You're just another nerd like Twilight. As a matter of fact, you-"
Zerox didn't care anymore. He just wanted to protect his friend against this bitch. He grabbed the pony's mane in his mouth, lifted a hoof and smacked her in the stomach. He hated her. She was smug. She was mean. This all changed with one little punch. She instantly recoiled, curling up on the ground, moaning in pain. She was dazed, confused, disoriented. Everyone gasped. But the loudest and longest gasp you could hear- was Twilight's. She was really glad that someone finally stood up for her. She stood up, with a tear slowly rolling down her cheek. She whispered a faint, "Thank you" to Zerox. She then slowly walked towards him and, in return for what he did, gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
Zerox didn't expect what Twilight did, but he was glad anyway. As her lips pressed against his cheek, he gave her a small hug. But this hug was special. Something stirred inside him, like a spark igniting a flame. He wanted something more. He realised what he really wanted. Zerox loved Twilight. It bubbled in his blood. It rattled in his bones. He wanted to spend more and more time with this. But it all happened in an instant. When he hugged her, he felt everything. At the same time. He was overwhelmed with feelings. Unfortunately, due to that fact, he passed out.
When he awoke, Twilight was looking at him strangely. She looked slightly confused.
"Are you OK, Zerox?" Twilight asked.
"Y-y-yeah, I-I'm OK... j-just... wow..." Zerox mumbled quietly. Twilight looked slightly concerned.
"I'm slightly worried about you. Do you think you'll be OK to go to your place, or do you think you should crash at my place?"
This is the second time Zerox passed out.
When he again awoke, he was in Twilight's house. He was at first confused, but with some direction from Twilight, he realised that he was safe in her house. The two of them made small talk together until Twilight was sure that he was completely awake.
"So, why did you pass out?" Twilight asked Zerox.
"Well, uh, I kinda... liked it when you... kissed me, and I just... well..."
Twilight blushed slightly when he said that and put her hoof to his mouth to stop him. She leaned towards him and kissed him again. "I know that it was probably... y'know, unexpected... but if you liked it..."
Zerox tried his hardest not to pass out again and slowly responded. He knew it wasn't a very long response, but it was virtually life changing.
"Twilight... I think that I'm, um, in... love with you... do you... er... want to go out some time?"
