Painful Love

A purple pegasus named Twinkling Darkness was snuggled up under her blankets wondering if she would ever find true love. If there was anypony that was like, her. She munched on some hay strips. The crunching gave her an idea. Maybe she could make a device that crushed a ponies bones. She thought about it for a while and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, she went over to a bucket to pick out the next number. She closed her eyes, put her hoof in, and pulled one out. It said number thirty seven. She glanced at the list but there was a note instead. It read "Dear Twinkling Darkness, I am sure you are as excited as I am about the Pony Prom. If your wondering where your list is, I have it. Along with the other lists. The reason is because we can keep the population even for now since the prom is only in a couple of days. Anyways, I will see you there, Solar Flare." Solar Flare was one of the managers in their association. She was strict and she would want to make sure the job was done. "Oh no, I don't have a date yet! I can't go without a date, all of my friends will think I'm not cool enough to have a date." She raced out the door but a note on the door caught her eyes. It read "Also if you have already chosen your next number, come to the auditorium." She then ran over to the auditorium but one of her friends stopped her.

"Hey, why are you in hurry? Did you break a rule?" It was Rainbow Wish, a unicorn who had just joined the association a few weeks ago.

"No, I already chose a number and I'm supposed to go to the auditorium. I woke up late and that's why I'm running. Now can you move before they close?" Twinkling Darkness asked as she tried to get by.

"Okay, but isn't it a rule that your not supposed to-" Rainbow started.

"Uh, got to go, bye!" Twinkling Darkness zipped by and into the auditorium. Solar Flare was just finishing giving a speech on what it means to be in the association. She then began reading off the numbers. After a few minutes she said "Number thirty seven is Black Heart. He lives in the Cloudsdale by the weather factory."
