Twilight
As Twilight trotted through town, she couldn't help but notice that it was a gorgeous day. Still, she couldn't help but feel a longing that had vexed her for some time now. She wasn't the type of pony to feel blue, so it was a new experience for her. Whenever Rarity was mentioned in conversation, Twilight got a sinking feeling in the pit of her tummy. She knew why, she wasn't ignorant. It was because she was lonely for companionship, and the love of another pony. Sure, she knew all of her friends loved her, but not in the way she was looking for. Spike was a wonderful companion, but not being a pony, he lacked a certain something that Twilight could not quite put her hoof on. She continued her walk to the café, when she happened to see a beautiful blue flower that seemed to shimmer.
"Excuse me, how much for the flower?" she asked the shop keep.
"That's a rare breed of flower called Shadow Spore, and only grows in the Everfree forest. It'll cost you five bits."
"Deal." Twilight hade never wanted a material object so bad in her life, she was willing to pay any price to have the flower.
Twilight counted out five bits and gave it to the nice old stallion, and he gave her the flower. She pinned the flower in her mane and walked on towards the café. She couldn't quite explain it, but she fell in love with the flower. It made her feel special. With chin held high, and a smile on her face, she reached the café. She didn't see rarity yet. Oh well, I am a little early. She sat and waited for Rarity to show, in a sort of anxious state of mind. She wasn't quite sure how she was going to contain her feelings any longer…
