Prologue:
As Twilight Sparkle trotted over to the library, she bumped into Big Macintosh, paper scattered everywhere. "Sorry, Twilight!" Big Mac neighed apologetically. "It's OK, Big Macintosh." Twilight answered as she used some of her magic to pick up the scattered paper, a slight blush creeping up her face. Big Macintosh seemed pretty embarrassed also, because he just barely had a slight pink creep over his face also. "Don't be so embarrassed, Big Mac! Accidents happen. This is one of those accidents, 'kay?" Twilight said her voice just above a whisper. "Eeyup…" The stallion replied, but it seemed he wanted to say more….. STOP, TWILIGHT! Big Macintosh doesn't like you! Twilight thought, slightly discouraged at the thought. "Well, goodbye, I guess…." Twilight murmured loud enough only so Big Mac could hear, even though that was rather pointless considering they were the only ones outside right now. "Umm, bye Twi." Big Mac somewhat nickered back, turned flank, and left. Finally, Twilight could breathe, but in little, shocked gasps, because revelation hit her. I like Big Macintosh! Oh, in all of Equestria what will I dooooo? The mare thought as she gazed at the stars.With a defeated sigh, she turned flank, and trotted home.
*some time later….*
Spike was sorting out the last of the books when he heard the door open, and then slam shut. Spike grabbed the nearest thing he could find… a frying pan. He shakily stepped towards the front door. Suddenly he had seen a familiar purple unicorn. It was Twilight! "EEK!" Twilight squeaked. Then she sighed in relief and…. sorrow? "Spike, you shouldn't scare anypony like the way you scared me just now. Or in any other way." Twilight nicked firmly. "I- I'm so sorry, Twi! I thought it was some otherpony!" "It's okay, Spike. If you thought it was someone who was breaking in, that… is a whole other story." "Okay." "Goodnight Spike!" Twilight said tiredly to the small, purple dragon. "Night, Twi!" Spike said to her. What is going on with Twilight? He thought, staring towards Twilight's bedroom.
*In Twilight's bedroom minutes later*
Twilight stared out her bedroom window, lost in her thoughts about the days unfolding. "Oh, Celestia, please show me the way out of the trouble about me and Big Macintosh. That's all I ask for." The purple mare whispered up to the stars. Finally, she laid down in her bed, and in long, stressful minutes, fell asleep.
