who could ask for anything more...
Time is a funny thing.
the way it moves slowly when your waitinng for something,
the way it just flies by when your having fun.
the way it always seems to just stop,
even in those quietest moments.
time will always stop when she's with me.
it had been several months since the date with Luna.
Every so often she'd visit me, with a smile emblazened on her face.
however, it was coming up to our six month anniversery, something i wouldnt forget.
but she did, mind you i wasnt fussed. i was heading to canterlot by train.
my guitar resting by side, i watched as ponies looked out of the windows watching the world go by.
a small filly had her gazed fixed on me like a hawk.
"hey, mister, are you that thing Luna is Dating?"
"frilly, dont bother the"
"heh, thats quite alright miss, she's just curious" i smiled at them. the little filly giggled.
"and for your information yes i am, i decided to pay her a surprise visit today" the train had come to a brief stop, as more ponies got on.
i grabbed my guitar and gave it a strum. i began to whistle out a small tune.
"hmmm, so, dexteroius, flexible and good with foals too, i must say, i am jealous" a voice came from behind me after seeing the specticle.
"not another one" i chuckled.
"my name is fluer de lis"
"pleasure to meet you miss, im"
"Robert, the creature who stole Princess Luna's heart" she gushed, sounding more jealous of me then of Luna.
being cheeky, i decided to make a joke about it "heh, i know, i'm lucky arent i"
she suddenly blushed "are you suggesting im a fillyfooler?"
"well... its your life, you do who you want, if you get my meaning" i smiled, not pushing further.
"can you keep a"
"consider it done"
i strummed a few bars of music for a moment, small fillies and colts started clambering up with thier parents.
"hey, weird thing, are you gonna play some music?"
"hmmm i dont know" i grinned mischeiviously, "will you be good little fillies and colts for your parents?"
they all nodded, the parents looked on wiht relief. "give me a second" i reached into my bag, pulling out a ukelele.
i cleared my throat. and began to sing.
i was always at peace whenever i sang this song.
i had my eyes closed the whole time, lost in the music.
within each passing minute i felt like i was flying.
flying on a cloud floating above the world. vividly remembering home and how my old friends would always be there.
life always changes, sometimes for better, sometimes for the worst.
but thats all there is really...
its all about the changes we make. the inevitability of it all.
i finally had what i always strove to gain.
i had the most wonderful mare in the world, i had my music, and a town full of the best friends a guy could want.
as the train came to its final stop, the song had ended. my eyes were open once again.
getting off the train, my guitar rested on my back.
the bag with the ukelele was dangling by my side, a smaller bag within it jingled with bits.
i walked around, taking in the sights and found myself in a small coffee shop. i opened the door, hearing the sound of a small bell tinkling away.
"Oh Hello there Rob" a mare behind the counter smiled.
"you know me?"
"the whole of Equestria does, dufus" the mare giggled.
"oh.. news travels fast in the form of paper then does it?" i snarked.
she continued to giggle as i walked up to the counter. "so what would you like?"
"heh, i'll have a venti cappacino please"
"okay, thatll be 7 bits"
"wow, bit pricey, better be worth it" i chuckled as i placed the bits on the counter.
sure enough, it was a damn good cappacino.
i was sitting in the corner simply drinking my drink, when i heard the bell once again.
within a few seconds a new, regal voice was sounding off lame pick up lines. "i told you Blueblood, im not interested"
"i could offer you money, more money than you'll ever"
"Excuse me, uh... Blueblood is it?" he turned around "you've never heard of the great Blueblood?"
"no... but i've heard of a rather foalish Blueblood, as described by a miss Rarity" he suddenly looks at me in shock for a moment.
"now, you will get what ever it is you came for... unless it was just to hit on my new friend here then leave" i grumble, he unwillingly complies.
i finish my cappacino, the young mare comes and gives me a free refill of simple filter coffee.
"thanks for that Rob," she smiles weakly "i appreciate it"
"no problem, though i doubt he'll be coming back here again" i take a sip of the fresh coffee and smile
"you know my name, but i dont know yours"
"funnily enough, its caffiene" i chuckled "how appropirate" within a few seconds, i heard the tinkle of the belle.
"oh hello Moondancer, the usual?"
"yes please, i could really use someone to talk to right about now" Moondancer sounded worried.
"oh really? well whats wrong?" caff asked the mare. "i think i missed an anniversery" i took another sip off coffee, then smiled.
"no you didnt" the mare turned to look at me, and her face lit up. she grinned from ear to ear.
"huh?" Caffiene looked confused, but slowly put the pieces together.
"well, i'll keep it secret, but you might want to talk in the downstairs area, its... not so... sunny" i raised an eyebrow.
"no windows" "oh... well then, lets go, Lulu" i winked at my lover.
"i'm sorry i forgot"
"no you didnt forget, you silly mare" i kissed her on the cheek.
we were sat in a small booth near a wall. as it had turned out,
Moondancer was one of her many disguises she had created if she wanted to just be normal.
"so Lulu, happy anniversery" i grinned.
"um... i dont know how things work on earth but... arent you supposed to give me something?" she asked sheepishly.
she looked so cute i didnt know what to do. "is that how things work here?" she simply nodded.
"well... fuck, i'll give it to you tommorrow?"
"well, sure, but..." i silenced her with another of my famous kisses. "you taste like coffee" she giggled.
"and? you love it" i grinned.
it had been three hours since she left to go back to the castle. i walked into a jewlers.
"excuse me, sir" the pony behind the counter popped his head up.
"yes?" he watched as i pulled out a guitar pick from one of my pockets.
"i need a necklace with a pendant in this sort of shape" i smiled.
he eyed the foreign object with beady eyes. "yes, certainly, do you want it engraved?"
"actually yes, i want the phrase...the phrase" i trailed off for a moment. racking my mind insearch of the perfect engravement was difficult.
"heh, got you stumped heh" the Stallion behind the counter chuckled. "pretty much" i smiled sheepishly, still thinking of that perfect way to phrase it.
"that Princess is something special isnt she" i sighed as a smile crept its way across my face.
"yeah, you could say that" i beamed, having finally thought of something.
i then told him the phrase. he looked at me, confused at first. "really? ok then" i trotted off to the back of the store, i simply stood and waited.
having a guitar strap made it easier. i began to play a simple tune. i sat down on a nearby seat, and took a deep breath.
i stared to sing a cheeky little song.
a small crowd had gathered to listen, some laughed and otheres were a little bit disgusted.
"why is he singing about that?" one asked.
"perhaps he's bored" i smiled for a moment.
the stallion came back with a small box, and simply stood next to me, enjoying the music.
within a few moments, i looked up, and continued a small guitar solo.
"so how bigs the dent in my wallet gonna be?"
"eh, about 150 bits, knocked down of course due to that song being good enough to attract some customers" he grinned.
i unzipped my bag, pulling out a smaller bag of bits. i picked out a large golden bit, and a smaller silver bit. "here ya go" i grinned. he placed the box in my bag. "well, i hope it goes well, your evening" i left shortly after.
i walked back to the coffee shop. "oh your back," Caffiene grinned. "did you get what you wanted?"
"yeah, needed to be done, did you get your GGG ticket?"
"GGG? oh...grand galloping gala, no"
"oh, its tommorrow night isnt it?" she nodded half-heartedly.
oh great i take my coffee, "i'll be back tomorrow"
"i'll be working tommorrow night"
"bugger"
