Chapter One: The Day I Saw Him

"Angel, I'm going to the market to get some things. I'll see you in a little while." I said goodbye to Angel and headed out of my cottage.

I walked on the dirt road to the town, I walked by some ponies but I stepped away to avoid a conversation. I'm not one of those ponies that like to socialize.

As I walked through town I looked for specific fruits and vegetables, to make the big feast I'm preparing for the animals. "Yes, can I have some cabbage please?" I asked the mare that was holding the booth.

"Here you are, that will be a bit please." I put down a gold coin and grabbed the cabbage and put it in my saddlebag.

"Thank you." I said quickly and moved on, as I was asking the next booth for some asparagus. I heard a voice behind me.

"Excuse me; can you give me some directions?" I turned around fast and whimpered, Oh how embarrassing.

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He was tall, blue fur, and brown haired. "Do you know the nearest library?" He asked stepping forward.

I took a step back frightened; I lifted my hand slowly and pointed in the direction of the tree house that was not that hard to miss. He turned and looked where I was pointing. "Thank you, I hope to see you soon." He waved goodbye and walked to the tree house.

I pulled my bangs back and looked at him, for some reason I feel this tickle in my stomach. He turned around to look at me, I gasped and looked away. I could feel the redness in my cheeks, I was blushing. Oh, I hope he doesn't find me weird.

I looked slowly back and he was walking, I took a sigh of relief. I hope he didn't see me looking at him, that's just really embarrassing. But I still felt that tickle in my stomach, I just took a deep breath and went along with my business and went to get the stuff I needed.

As I grabbed everything I needed I started to head back to my cottage when Pinkie stopped me, "Fluttershy!" I screeched at the yell that was behind me.

"Pinkie, don't do that. You scared me." I put on a serious face and stared at her.

"Sorry Fluttershy, I just wanted to get your attention." Pinkie then put a smile back on her face; she is a very happy pony if you ask me. "Did you know that there is a new pony in town? His name is Smart Cookie. He's really smart, and he likes cookies…" She then starts talking fast and I couldn't understand her.

"Uh… Pinkie?" I tried to get her to stop, but she kept going. I got annoyed so I just walked away; she just kept talking as I walked away. She didn't even notice I left either; I just walked back onto the dirt road that leads to my cottage.

"Angel, I'm home!" I called out as I walked in, Angel popped out of his house. He ran up and hugged my foreleg; he's a real sweet heart sometimes. He can be mean sometimes. But he's always nice, "I bet you missed me." I chuckle.

But then I remembered that stallion that actually talked to me, I turned back at the door. My stomach started to hurt, like the different side of me was telling me 'You should have talked to him.' 'Why not just leave and go find him?'

Instead, I stayed in the cottage. There was a sleepover at the Library tomorrow; it's my first one so I hope I make the best of it. But still, I couldn't get him out of my head.

I remembered what Pinkie said, Smart Cookie. It's a cute name, I chuckle to myself. Angel looked at me confused, "Oh Angel, I just met someone back at the booth. It's nothing." I sigh. I should have talked to him, but it's too late now. I probably won't see him again.

I took off my saddle bag and put it on the counter of the kitchen, I took out all of the stuff I bought and put it in the refrigerator. I grabbed the empty saddlebag and put it in my closet of my room.

I took another sigh, and some of the animals came up the stairs into their homes. I look up at the squirrels and smile, "Goodnight little ones." I slowly went into my bed and pulled the covers over me. I turned over and looked out the window, and looked at Luna's moon. Then I saw the stallion in the stars, I just couldn't get him out of my head.

I rub my head against the pillow and get comfortable. "Oh, I should have talked to him." I looked back out the window and sighed; I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
