I watched her go about her work, caring for her animal friends like the only nurse on call at a very busy hospital. To be honest, I had no idea how she kept so calm. I would crack under the pressure, but she took that pressure and let it turn her into a glorious diamond, immune to the tiny wounds of a careless word from a pony who didn't know her like I did. I smiled happily, letting my mind wander as I watched her…

She turned around as though detecting my gaze, smiling at me. She waved jovially, acknowledging my presence on the road leading up to her cottage. She quickly excused herself to the animals, and trotted over to me. With no warning, she pushed her lips against mine for a brief moment, stunning me still. Everything slowed down in that moment, save for my heartbeat. Her lips stayed on mine for minutes to each second, and my eyes took half an hour to widen in surprise. Her lips were so soft…

"Twilight?" her angelic voice asked. I soon felt her hoof prod my nose in an attempt to snap me out of whatever trance I was stuck in. "You there?"

I apologized quickly, "Y-yeah, sorry."

"Something wrong?"

"Yeah," I answered. "I'm trying to change my field of view."

"Oh? Why?"

"So maybe I'll end up with you…"

She looked at me oddly for a second before the full meaning of what I meant got across. A deep blush stained her face a brilliant red, and she became nervous and fidgety. "O-oh… T-Twilight…" He hoof brushed the ground, and she hid her face behind her mane in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have been so forward…" I murmured, taking a few steps back, preparing to leave.

"You're so dense," she muttered, taking a few steps forward. She looked directly at me, staring me directly in the eyes with her own gleaming teal ones. I immediately got lost in her eyes. "You kept me waiting."

Author's Note

Just trying to get myself back to writing. I've been suffering from Writer's Suffocation, and I've been unable to write anything significant for over six months. I need to get something down, or I'm going to go insane. Sorry to keep all of my fans waiting for so long.
