The Incedent

Mothball

I knew that it was pointless to even think about sneaking out of the hive, and going to go see her. I had to also let her know that everything that I had said back at the chocolate lake was all a lie, a lie in order to keep her safe and out of Mother's hands.

As I make my way out of the hive, I didn't lie about getting something to eat, I was hungry, but I also wanted to see Screwy.

But then I had to feed, so after a quick trip to Ponyvile, I feed, not really, just that one pony's emotions kept on getting in the way, so I told her that she should go home, and don't remember anything at all.

Once done with that, I snatched a rose for her, thinking that it didn't matter that the owner wouldn't miss just one rose. Once arriving at her window, I could only stare at her, even in sleep, she's beautiful, I wanted to run my hoof down her wavy purple and white mane, I wanted her to open those enchanting purple and white swirls of pure goodness, and get lost in them for all of eternity.

And yet, she doesn't know how she makes me feel, even as I just hide outside her window, for the past five years, Mother would aways keep a close watch on me whenever I went out of the hive, Mother didn't know how badly I wanted to see my cute mare friend, but even I knew that I couldn't see her.

After a while, I peeked in through the window; and saw that she and her friends were all asleep, as I slowly and quietly opened her window, I could hear them all sleeping soundly, not wanting to wake up her Father, I quickly replaced the chocolate bar that she always left for me; with the rose that I had picked out for her, which also included a note attached to it, and so as I silently left her room, softly closing the window; I whispered, "Happy birthday, my beloved Screwy."

As I made my way back to the hive, I couldn't help but look down, and that's when I saw it. There on the ground of the forest, was a black box, the box was just like any other box, I didn't think much of it as I made my way towards the box, but there was no turning back once my hoof touched the black box, and I was gone, just like that.

Never to been seen again after that night.

But one pony wouldn't leave my mind:

My Screwball...

Screwball

I woke up the next day, for some odd reason, I didn't feel like ponyself, I couldn't explain it, this feeling only got stronger as the day went on, I knew that Mothy was probably at home, being scolded by his Mother, whom Daddy had once known, I only went on with my day, thinking that at some point, Mothy could sneak away, and we both could see each other once more, after five years apart.

Dinky asked me, "Screwy, are you feeling alright?"

Cinnamon Stick, Cinnamon Roll, Thunder Dash, Lighting Dash, and Apple Blossom all looked at me, their eyes were laced with concern at the sight of me, I didn't know why, but it felt like my heart was about to break, as I just continued up to the school, my friends all stopped me, and I said, "I'm fine you guys... Come on, we're all going to be late."

As the school day went on, I tried to pay attention, so far, it almost felt like nothing had happened last night, I mean, last night was a blast, not only did I almost revealed my crush, but I also got to have a rose in the morning too, and I knew that Mothy had visited me last night too.

Mothy, I couldn't stop thinking about him, every time I was around him, it felt like I was getting stronger; like I could do something amazing, I was broken out of my thoughts when Dinky said, "screwy!"

I blinked, looked up, and said, "What Dinky?"

Cinnamon Roll said, "Screwy, are you sure that you're alright?"

Thunder Dash said, "Yeah, Screwy, are you sure?"

I said, "Where's every pony?"

Dink said, "Oh, every pony all went to lunch. Come on, let's go."

As we all made our way to the lunch room, I knew that something bad was going to happen, but I just couldn't place it, it was soon driven out of my mind, when we had passed the restrooms, I couldn't hold it in, and so I just said as I quickly rushed to the stalls, "I'll be right back!"

Once in the restroom, I had to sit down, all four of my legs gave out on me, and the last thing that I had remember as my head hit the stone floor, was my crush.

My Mothball.
