Friendship is an Open Wound

He sat next to her.

She blushed.

He smiled.

"I'm Starswirl. I love to study and read about magic! I hope we can become great friends, Princess." He exclamed as bright as a sunny day.

"Yes, Starswirl. I think we'll become the best of friends."Celestia said.

Luna was just getting out of class when a familiar figure came into sight.

"Tia!" She squealed with delight as she went to hug Celestia.

But some pony else was with her. Starswirl was walking right by her side and he was loving every second of it.

"Come on, silly. We've got to go home." Celestia spoke in a calm, almost motherly voice.

"Okay! But...Who's your little friend?" Luna asked mischievously.

" I am Starswirl. It's an honor to meet you, my lady." He smiled, but in such a way that it was almost egotistical in itself. It became one of his quirks. Especially the canine that somewhat stuck out in his top row of teeth.

"Wow! You met a gentleman, Tia!" Luna whispered to Celestia.

When they got to the castle, Celestia paused.

"Starswirl, where do you live?" She inquired.

" I know this might be weird... But I live in the castle now." He whispered.

Celestia and Luna froze in their tracks.

" What?!" They both screeched as Starswirl casually stood in front of them.

"Yes. Haven't your parents at least told you, Tia? I'm also your new suitor!"

In Celestia's mind, this was the oddest shock of her life. She ran into the castle, and was shocked to find her mother casually playing cards with her father.

"M-mother... When were you going to tell me about Starswirl?"

Her mother froze.

" I um... Forgot?" She wheezed.

" But.... But how!?" Celestia whispered, obviously hurt.

"I'm only in eight grade!"
