A short and brief beginner story from my best friend, Charisse.

A standard story that my dear best friend Charisse has written to her imagination and requested for me to post it online. She says "Thank you so much for reading this story that I have experienced myself and all the troubles and worries I have. :)"

This story might be a little off your standards, but this is her first try at one so please give her a hoof and give some critique. If you would like to give a more personal critique, you may contact me by PM. Thanks.

Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Ponyville, as usual. I Woke up, brush my hair, ate breakfast, and saw Charming Twirl. Charming Twirl the unicorn lives that right next door to me. I like him. It is pretty obvious, many of my Ponyville friends already know the secret. But we hardly speak, never said a hi, always looked at each other.In his eyes, I could see that he likes me, but I'm still not sure. I need to know more. Mist twirl always says it's fine, it's not. He always hangs out with other mares. It's confusing if he likes me or not. This morning was like any other, we walked out the door, he looked at me, I looked at him, we both blushed and we looked away. I was suppose to meet Breezy(her nickname) aka Breeze Daze near the Ponyville town hall but when I got there, no one was there.

"Hey Hearty!" A certain voice called."Heart Charmer! Get over here!I got news!" I soon found it was Breezy and Mist Dasher calling. Misty dash(nickname) is a good friend of mine. I hang out with her occasionally. They were waving their hoofs in the air to get my attention. I trotted over to where they are.

"What news?" I asked them.

"Mist Flicker told us that Charming likes you!" Breezy jumped up and down while Dash was doing the often "Oooh la la".

Honestly, I'm not that excited about this. They always tell me these short, small details but nothing is new, for some reason, I don't believe it. " Cool! Great! Well anyways, what's up?" I said cheerfully, totally ignoring what they said.

"Well, Cider season is coming up!" Dash said." And uh... guys, I think somepony likes me."

"What! Who?" Breeze asked anxiously.

" Trusty Charger"

"Ooooo!" Me and Breezy teased.

"Guys shush!" Mist Dasher whispered.

" Do you like him?" I asked.

"No." Mist Dasher frowned, rolling her eyes.

" Carrot for 1 bit! Come get your delicious carrots!" The Ponyville market was crowded with ponies. I was out shopping with Emerald Charmer, a pony friend of mine,  to complete my checklist of things to buy." Okay so I got my tomato's, dog food for Milky and...." I was muttering about my list when suddenly I crashed into some pony. " Oh my! I am..." A familiar stallion stopped his line. " Umm... It's okay," I stood up, Emerald helped me up, then I noticed that it was Charming Twirl! We both blushed unstoppable. I looked away. My heart was beating so quickly, I couldn't stop blushing. Emerald was snickering.

"Uhh..." I muttered.

" Sorry I.. uh... bumped into you..." He apologized.

" It's... Okay." I answered softly. Then he picked up his saddlebag and fruit he dropped and walked away. His face was totally red. Mine was too. " Are you okay, Heart Charmer?" Emerald asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." I was too busy looking at Charming twirl as he walked away.

Few days later, I was still thinking about that. I seem to can't get it off my head. It wasn't the first time I saw him blush or looking away from me, it was bumping into him. But that doesn't really matter now.  I saw him talking with Sugar Sprinkles the other day through the window and she was just totally flirting with him. That's why there is a positive side and negative side of my, well, crush. I feel really jealous when he talks with other mares. I'm at my room right now and I looked out the window which faces Charming's room. I saw him reading Daring Do. Then he saw me. Again, we both looked away and blushed. I lie down and gather up my thoughts and relaxed. Milky came into my room and wants to lay down beside me. Milky is my white pet dog, really quiet but playful.

" Heart Charmer! Time for dinner! It's hay and lettuce sandwich!" My mom called me from downstairs, popping my bubble. When I went down I met my brother, Charming Charmer and my dad.I sat down and watched my mother feed Milky. As I ate, I thought of Charming twirl. Who does he actually like?

A door knock interrupted my thoughts one afternoon. Surprisingly, it was Sugar Sprinkles, a mare that likes Charming Twirl as well.

"Uhh.. Hi," I greeted her.

"Hey Heart Charmer! Let me tell you something. No effense or anything but, I think Charming Twirl likes me. I don't know. Sorry if I made you mad." She told me. Yes. She knows my little secret but now I have a feeling Sugar likes him too.

" Oh.... Yeah." I muttered.

"Well, bye! See you soon!" she walked away.I saw her smiled as she walked away. Not a cheerful one, but sort of mean.

I shut the door and went up to my room. Now I have a really big feeling that Sugar Sprinkles likes Charming Twirl. Since she knows I like him, Sugar is probably gonna talk and flirt with him until he ACTUALLY likes her and get together, leaving me being history. I know, I have silly thoughts. Anyways, her smile told me something and gave me a clue. She might be planning that "thing" but I'm not sure....

Today, Emerald wants me to meet a friend of her's which, she said would give me advice and to be honest, I need it. I was walking through the corners of Ponyville searching for Emerald. Then I saw her house, she was there waiting for my arrival.

"Finally," she pleaded" Twilight is desperate to meet you,come on!" Then Emerald Charmer just dragged me to this tree house. She knocked on the door. A purple Unicorn walked out the door.

"Hey! I see we have company!" She said.

"Yep! Oh Twilight? This is the unicorn I wanted you to meet." Emerald replied.

"Hi! My name is Heart Charmer." I said.

" Nice to meet you Heart Charmer! I'm Twilight Sparkle. I am a student of Princess Celestia." Twilight replied.

Twilight let us in to her treehouse and it was full of books. She picked out on that is titled; Crush.

"Let see here.... Okay. Um... what problems do you have Heart Charmer?" She asked me.

" Well, I don't know who he likes and I need a way to make me talk to him," I told her.

"Okay......Ah! Here! Don't be shy. Instead be strong and do not be afraid. Take a risk that would change your life." Twilight red.

I sighed. There is no way I could take a risk. I am not strong enough. I am totally shy. Twilight saw my face and put her hoof around me.

"My advice is to ask your friends and maybe my friends for help." Twilight said in my ear.

"Twilight! Twilight! Heart Charmer should meet your friends!" Emerald squealed.

"Let's get some advice." She said

I smiled.

"And this is Fluttershy. She loves animals and creatures. And she is really kind and shy." Twilight said as she knocked on the door.

We already met 4 of Twilight's friends; Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity. Apart from Rarity, they know nothing about crushes. Fluttershy opened the door.

"Hey Twilight! Who are these ponies?" She asked.

"Fluttershy, this is Emerald Charmer and Heart Charmer." Twilight introduced. We both said hi to her.

"Oh... but ...uh... Twilight. Could you excuse me? Angel needs his food right now and you know how angry Angel would be without his food, right?"

"Ya....Bye...then" Twilight said. Fluttershy shut the door.

"That went well." She rolled her eyes.

" It's okay Twilight. I don't mind," I told her. She looked and smiled.

Then she jumped up. "I got an idea! My brother! He could help you! He fell in love once with Princess Cadence! He will have advice for you!"

"Maybe not now Twilight. The sun is almost down. We should go." Emerald said.

"I'll meet you tomorrow, okay Heart Charmer?" She asked.

"Sure" I replied.

Chapter 2

Shining armor did gave me some advice to talk to him more and be more "me". That's what they always say. But the thing is, I can't. I'm too shy and I am scared to be humiliated in some way in front of him. It's really complicated. I know it is.

Recently, Charming Twirl has been looking at me and blushing more than ever. When I look at him he looks at me and both smile, especially him. It's been good these few days. But I have a good feeling that he likes me as well as I like him. Which is a good thing, Actually. He stares at me a lot, especially out the window. Sugar Sprinkles is sick these few days, which is good so she won't be "disturbing" my little fairy tale.

The other day, Rough boulder, a friend of Charming twirl, asked me do I like him while I'm eating lunch.

"How and where do you know that?" I looked up.

"You know. Me and Charming Twirl are friends." He told me.

I was about to ask does he like me but he walked away before I could say it.

I was like, Great! He knows! It's turning to viral news. Almost everyone knows this little "secret" of me and that stallion. Argh!

It is annoying that ponies keep on telling one another. Almost everypony I know knows this. Hopefully he does like me, though.

Tomorrow, it will be hearts and hooves day and hopefully a certain somepony would admit that he likes me and gives me chocolate. That is so cute.

Usually near Hearts and hooves day, I get a amount of love letters at my mailbox.I am the smartest, prettiest, pretty popular mare around the neighborhood.

When I open my mail box today, I looked at Charming's house. He was looking at me....

I found three love letters for me. I galloped to my room and teared the first letter.

Dear Heart Charmer,

I love you so much. I think you are really nice to ponies. I liked you. Be my special somepony?

Love,

Your secret admirer.

Weird. I don't think he is that specific because, well, it doesn't tell me why should I like this stallion? For me, Pass. Sorry, but I have to deny him.

The next letter looks like this.

Dear Heart Charmer,

I am a close to you and I really like you. I look at you every single day and you're not just pretty. You're funny, talented, and kind. You are my mare. I liked for a long period and now, this is my first time writing a love letter to you. Ponies tell me you like me, sometimes, I don't believe them. I tried so hard to fit in with you so I won't lose you. I want to be close to you, but I am too shy. It's hard sometimes. But I love you. Never stopped. It was the same beautiful mare, you.

Love,

Your secret admirer :)

Oh my gosh!!This is so cute!!! I think that Charming twirl wrote this to ME!! I can't believe it!!! That proves that he does like me, maybe. I mean, it is pretty obvious, but I'm still not sure. I can't wait to show this to my pony friends. So I did. I told Breeze daze and Mist Dasher, my closest best friends. As usual, they did their "oooooo", I told them I'm not sure, but they said it's clear and obvious. When I came back to my cottage at dawn, I saw Charming twirl staring at me. He saw me hold the letter and smiled. Okay, NOW it's obvious. But when he will admit that he does like me?

Hearts and Hooves day. I found a group of stallions waiting at my door waiting for me with bouquets and chocolates in their hooves, but outside Charming Twirl's cottage, a herd of mares screaming outside the door. Basically, it's crowded of ponies fighting for love from a handsome unicorn stallion and a pretty unicorn mare (that's what they say). I was like, How can I see Charming twirl now with two big herds of ponies?! Charming Twirl was thinking the same way I did. I came up with a idea.

"Hi stallions! Um... I'm pretty sure that there is much more mares better than me in the crowd there so please, uh..., choose another mare." I told the group of stallions. Some followed my "order" but most of them stayed.

"We can't give up on you! You're too pretty!" A stallion shouted.

"Yeah! We love you too much to give up!" Another argued.

"If it's because of my looks then I don't want to see any of you. I want somepony who cares and love me for who I am." I looked at Charming twirl. They gasped.

'I don't like any of you. My heart is taken. Don't use you're hooves to love the wrong pony!" I said.

They walked away. Some of them was really brokenhearted, but I hardly know them. The others did what I told them to do. Find more love. Charming Twirl was surprised of what I did, for him. He did the same thing. After that, the whole ground was full with chocolates and love letters. I felt sorry for those ponies, but I really don't like any of the stallions. Then I saw Mist Dasher beside Trusty charger. I trotted towards her and find out whats going on.

''Trusty asked me to be his special somepony and I did. He is a really nice stallion." Mist told me. I sighed and looked around. Everypony has a special somepony on there side, everypony except me. A drop of tear rolled through my face.

"uh....Heart Charmer?" A voice said behind me. I turned and was surprised to see it was Charming Twirl behind me. It's obvious that his face his is seriously red.

"Could you come for..... a moment?" He stammered. I nodded slowly. He took me to a private place where no pony is.

" Here are some chocolates." He said.

"Oh! Thanks." I replied. It was awkward until he spoke again.

" Uh... Heart Charmer? I need to tell you something.Really important." He said.

I looked up.

"Um... uh..*sigh* I... like you."

I gasped. I could not believe my ears! Did he just tell me he likes me!? Oh my gosh!!!!! We were both blushing so badly.

"It's okay if you don't like me because I know I'm way too popular and too many mares like me but you was always in my heart. I always look at you like an idiot but I like you. I never stopped." He said nervously.

" I like you too." I whispered and blushed.

"You do?!" He gasped.

I nodded." I never stopped like you. I can't get my eyes off you. You were my life to me. I need you Charming Twirl. I love you for who you are. Don't ever change it. Got it?" I smiled.

He nodded.

"You are my very special somepony all along. I....I love you." I told him.

"Happy Hearts and Hooves day, my Heart." He hugged me and gave me a kiss.

Epilogue

After Hearts and Hooves day, life was great. Charming was so nice and we never any fights. I love him. He is way nice. Other ponies call us" The Charm love." It was cute. Actually, Mist Dasher made that up but Whateves. I love Charming Twirl so much. He already took me on 2 dates. One he even surprised me with a heart made out of flowers that we could go in. It is also already a habit to kiss him. It was such a great time. Suger Sprinkles has a new crush so as long as nothing goes wrong (hopefully), everything is going to be so perfect. He loves me and I love him more than anything. Forgot about all those fuss about crushes. He told me how he felt totally crushing on me. Looking at me, trying to talk to me, and get this. It is exactly how I feel. I told him how I felt too. Everything is perfect with him.
