"Yeah this isn't a usual thing for me…" Symphony trailed off before noticing the mare was still intrigued. "Oh, I'm Sweet Symphony by the way; you can call me Symphony though."
She giggled slightly which he took as a good sign. As soon as the giggle ended, the mare who took the order brought the drinks over.
"Here are your drinks," she stated as she placed the drinks on the table. "If you need anything else just call me over; the name is Meddle Floyd."
She left the table with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Now it's my turn to be curious," Symphony said to restart the conversation. "Why did you come over to my table and order drinks?"
Her face immediately grew crimson as she avoided eye contact with him.
"I don't know… I just saw you alone and thought you were pretty good looking. I guess I was just looking for some fun."
He could obviously tell she was embarrassed, but he was quite flattered rather than turned off. He was also looking at a quite pretty mare that he had nothing against. He was looking for something spontaneous, and it just walked up to his table and sat down.
The mare who took the drink orders then returned and placed the two alcoholic beverages on the table.
"Just put it on my tab," Lyra told the mare.
"No problem," she returned a smile. "If you need anything else, the name is Meddle Floyd. Meddle if you want."
She trotted off and Lyra's and Symphony's eyes met again and they immediately looked away.
Symphony was the first to say something after the short pause.
"So… You live in Canterlot huh? I live uptown, about ten minutes from here."
"Oh no," she retorted. "I play the harp in the orchestra for events here quite often, but I actually live in Ponyville."
"I hear it's a nice place. So how many concerts do you have left?"
"Actually, tonight is my last night in Canterlot. My last concert was last night, and I just went out tonight to celebrate."
Symphony's head lowered knowing that there was no way this could last.
"I'm sorry," she jumped in. "I didn't mean to lead you on like that."
"No it's fine. I just wish we could've gotten to know each other better."
She gave a short smile.
"I do to. I mean, unless you came with me back to Ponyville there isn't anything we can do about it."
Symphony's ears immediately perked up.
"Wait a minute. What if I did?"
She raised her brow in confusion
"Did what?"
"Went with you back to Ponyville. Moved there even!"
She pressed her back into the seat being quite taken aback from the spontaneous suggestion.
"I mean. We barely know each other. Wouldn't this be a little too spontaneous?"
"Why did you spontaneously come over and sit by me knowing you were leaving the next day?" He had a devious grin on his face.
Again, she was quite taken aback. This time, however, from his cunning comment. A smile slowly grew on her face.
"Why would you be willing to risk everything you have for a girl you met today?"
He sighed.
"I've been stuck in a rut my whole life. No excitement. No adventure." His head lowered for a second then was brought back up. "I'm ready to change that. This a very risky decision, but in my mind, it's completely worth it."
Lyra just gave one big smile.
Is this chapter short? Yes. Do I give a fuck? No. Kidding. But in all seriousness I am swamped with school right now and it was my bad decision in the first place to begin a story right before the year started where things are going to get busy for me. So sorry for the late update and the short chapter, but it's what I got.
As for the OCs being sent in. Most of them are FANTASTIC. Each character is diverse and has something different that SHOULD make this story interesting. However, some people really aren't getting the idea when I say CAN'T BE WILDLY SPECIAL. Cause when I get a character called Asshole that for some reason has the ability to shoot fireballs out of his butt, I'm not gonna put that shit in my story. Capiche? Good.
Have a nice day :3
