Any Pony can find love

Chapter 1

The sun rises to start a new day in Ponyville. We see all the different ponies in the town of Ponyville as we then see Twilight's castle and then we go inside to see a certain door as it opens. There is a pony sleeping in a bed, it was Starlight Glimmer.

Spike: Good Morning Starlight.

Starlight: (Sleepy) Huh? Oh, morning Spike.

Spike: Twilight asked me to come and wake you up. She wants to talk to you about something.

Starlight: What does she want to talk to me about?

Spike: I don't know, but I'm sure it's nothing bad.

Spike leaves the room as Starlight has a confused look on her face, but then she gets up, does her mane and then goes to the main room where she sees Twilight reading a book.

Starlight: Morning Twilight. You said you wanted to talk to me about something?

Twilight: Oh morning Starlight. And yes, I do. I want to talk about your next friendship lesson and taking it to the next level.

Starlight: Oh really, and what is that?

Twilight: Well after the success of becoming friends with your first friend and Trixie, I think it's time for you to make a third friend. That way, you can be another step closer to having a big circle of friends.

Starlight: (Nervous) Oh, well, you see. Maybe I should just stick with the two I've made and do this step maybe next week or something.

Twilight notices Starlight trying to exit but closes the door.

Twilight: Starlight, you can't just keep trying to run away from this. I thought you wanted to learn about friendship and wanted to make friends.

Starlight: (Sighs) I do. I guess I just feel like I'm never gonna be ready to ever make friends. And that I won't be able to do it. And that I don't think I'm ready for any level of friendship lessons.

Spike: That's not true.

Twilight: Spike is right. It's like I said, you were able to re-unite with your first friend that you fell out with.

Spike: Not to mention that you made a connection with Trixie.

Twilight: Exactly and I think that shows that you're going in the right direction.

Starlight: Thank you both. Okay Twilight, I'll do it. I may not think I'm ready for the next level, but I'll try my best.

Twilight: Now that's what I like to here!

Starlight: So how does this lesson work?

Twilight: Well, we'll do the same as before where you went out into Ponyville to find a friend. But this time, me and Spike will accompany you. Just to make you feel a little bit more comfortable.

Starlight: Thank you. It makes me feel better that you two will be there to help me.

Spike: Well, it's just what friends do.

Spike hops on Twilights back as they both begin to walk out of the main room.

Starlight: (Thoughts) Ok Starlight, you can do this. Just follow Twilight's instructions and you'll be a step closer in no time. (Takes a deep breath)

Starlight follows Twilight as they both exit the room and then the castle and in just a few short minutes, they arrive at the centre of Ponyville. Twilight starts to talk to Starlight as they walk through the town.

Twilight: Okay Starlight, your first step is to pick out a pony and strike up a conversation or just helping them with a simple task.

Starlight: And you think that will work?

Twilight: Well if we go with my plan, yes.

Twilight looks around the town but not having any luck as everypony is either already talking to another pony or are occupied with their job and are assisted by other ponies.

Twilight: Hmmm. I guess this is gonna be harder than I thought. It seems that every pony is occupied with something or occupied with talking to another pony.

Starlight: I'm sorry Twilight. Maybe we can do this another day when ponies are more alone or something. Maybe we should go back to the castle and try next time

Twilight: (Sighs) Maybe you're right Starlight.

They both stop and are about to turn back when Spike stops them after spotting something.

Spike: Twilight, wait.

Both Twilight and Starlight stop and look at Spike.

Twilight: What is it Spike?

Spike: What about that pony?

Spike points towards a earth pony stallion who has an Orange coat and yellow coloured mane and tail. He has a small tail. He also has a big red apple with a smiling face on it on his flank.

Spike: He looks like he's alone and... a little bit lost.

Twilight: Hmm, I've never seen him before. But that doesn't matter, good job Spike. This is perfect for you Starlight, you can help out this pony. Cause I agree with Spike, he looks a little lost.

Starlight: Okay Twilight, if you think I can do this... then I'll give it a try.

Starlight takes a deep breath and walk up to the Stallion.

Starlight: Excuse me sir?

The stallion looks back towards the voice he heard and sees Starlight.

Starlight: I couldn't help notice that you looked a bit lost. Is there anything I can help you with?

AppleJackal: Yes thank you, I was hoping that somepony was gonna help me, but it seems everypony is occupied with something. But I'm glad there's one pony that isn't occupied.

The stallion smiles and Starlight lightly blushes but smiles back, as to not be rude.

AppleJackal: Anyway, I was wondering if you knew where Sweet Apple Acres is?

Starlight: I actually do. I can take you there, so that you don't get lost. I'm not exactly the best at giving directions (Chuckles)

AppleJackal: (Chuckles) That's okay, I'm the same. But yes, I will take you up on your offer, thank you very much.

Starlight then leads the stallion towards Sweet Apple Acres as she walks past and sees Twilight smiling and Spike giving her a thumbs up. As the two ponies, walk towards the farm Starlight decided to try and strike up a conversation with the new pony.

Starlight: So... are you going to the farm to see a certain pony?

AppleJackal: Actually yes, I'm here to see Applejack.

Starlight: Oh really. I'm actually friends with Applejack.

AppleJackal: Oh really, that's good to know, I guess it just solidifies that I can trust you to get me there (Laughs) Are you close friends with her?

Starlight: Well I haven't known her for too long, but I'd say we've become good friends over time.

AppleJackal: Well if that's the case, then I guess that means we'll become good friends too.

Starlight: Yeah, maybe.

They finally reach the farm and enter. They try to find Applejack but she doesn't seem to be on the farm. Starlight decides to call out for her.

Starlight: (Loudly) Applejack! Are you here?!

They then here a voice come from inside the barn and they here it yell back.

Applejack: Starlight?! That you?! Give me a minute!

Starlight: (To AppleJackal) She must be finishing up something, I'll go talk to her.

Starlight walk up to the barn where inside she sees Applejack stacking bales of hay. Applejack then notices Starlight at the barn door.

Applejack: Oh, it was you Starlight. What's up?

Starlight: Well actually there is a pony who's here to see you.

Applejack: Really, who?

Starlight: I... don't know. I never asked his name.

Applejack: I see. Well, I've just finished up here. So I guess I can go see him now.

Both the ponies leave the barn and make their way to the stallion, though Applejack is not looking towards him, she is still looking at Starlight.

Applejack: Hmm, it's weird. I wasn't really excepting anyone. I guess this is gonna be a surpri...

Applejack looks up and then stops in her tracks as she looks at the stallion.

Starlight: Applejack? Are you okay?

Applejack walks up to the stallion as the stallion looks at Applejack with a smile. She is now face to face with the stallion.

Applejack: (Surprised) Is it really you?

AppleJackal: I wouldn't be here if I wasn't me (laughs)

Applejack then develops a tear in her eye before turning towards Starlight.

Applejack: Starlight. Can you go find the girls and bring them here? I've got big news for them. And please hurry.

Starlight: Okay Applejack, I'll make sure to hurry.

Starlight then runs out of the farm and towards the town to find the girls.
