Princess of Hope and New Beginnings.

Dawnbreak Duskfall opened her eyes slowly to find 'He' looking at her with a grin.

"Well, well, looks like someponies had quite the ride for such a young age."

Looking around Dawnbreak realized she was in the Summerlands.
"I don't understand, you said I couldn't come here when I died?"

"I did say that, and it is true. Without living a life in Equestria, you can not come here."

Casting a look down, Dawnbreak shuffled nervously.
"So does that mean I just...disappear?"

'He' shook his head.
"For an alicorn of hope and new beginnings, you sure are making your own future look bleak. How about I lend you a hoof?"

'He' then turned around an gave Dawnbreak a might buck, sending her into the air so quickly that the mare's vision blurred to black.

^~^~^~^

Her vison focusing back in, Dawnbreak was just able to recognise she was falling in time to come to a smooth landing not three hooves in front of a lavender alicorn she swore she knew for some reason.
"Um, hi..."

"Oh, hello, you must be new to town...or very old, I didn't know there were any alicorns other than the princesses and I around." the lavender alicorn responded.

"Um, it's complicated."

"Oh, well, I'm Twilight Sparkle, alicorn of Friendship."

"Dawnbreak Duskfall, alicorn of Hope and New Beginnings."

Twilight eyed Dawn doubtingly.
"Alicorn of hope and new beginnings? How does that work."
As she asked this, Twilight tilted her head in an adorable fashion that Dawn couldn't help but notice.

"Um, not sure exactly how to explain it. How about me being hopeful for a trip out to dinner for...I dunno, a beginning of a new friendship or something?"

Eyeing the alicorn incredulously, Twilight couldn't help but laugh.
"Either you wen through a lot of work for a really cheesy pick up line, or you're being serious."

Realising how things came out, Dawn began laughing as well. As both alicorns attempted to recover from laughing, their eyes met for just a moment, and everything seemed to go silent. As soon as they realized what they were doing, they both pulled their gazes away with a faint hint of a blush gracing their cheeks.

Then Twilight looked back up.
"You know what? Sure, why not, heck, I'll even pay. Now, where are we off to?"

At the clueless look from Dawn, Twilight just giggled and nodded toward Ponyville.
"I know all the good places any way, I'll find us someplace decent."

"Okay, sorry for, you know, not really knowing my way around." Dawn awkwardly chuckled.

"Don't worry about it, I am curious though, what's your story? What'd you do to become the alicorn of Hope and New Beginnings?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Well," Twilight countered with a smirk, "If it's a good story, maybe I'll be up for a second date. Hope and all that."


Author's Note

What, you didn't actually think I'd do something mean or evil here, did you?

And not having a happy ending? Please.

Heck, I wouldn't like myself for it.
