A night to remeber

Chapter 1: A Night to Remember

StarDash yawned, The weather team had just finished up clearing clouds from a light rain shower, and they were preparing for an almost cloudless night. The pale lavender Pegasus brushed out her long and quite tangled golden and ruby streaked mane. She sniffed, fall was coming soon and the air was getting colder.

“Hey Star, thanks for helping me with those clouds out there” said Flitter, one of her team mates as she into the team locker room with Cloudcrash.

“No problem” Star said closing her locker and heading out of the room and into the weather team lounge.

“Catch ya later kid”; Thunderlane said punching her in the arm playfully, Star rolled her eyes.

“See ya Thunder” she said as he turned leave.

Thunderlane was her best friend, he was 3 years older and the only one who truly listened and understood her. He knew almost everything about her. Almost.

Little to Thunderlane's knowledge, she lived a rickety close to being condemned home at the very edge of ponyville, every pony figured it was abandoned and were just waiting for it to be taken down and a new, more extravagent home to be built. However she lived there, she didn't have a choice.

She shook her head attempting to rid of the sad thought and began to continue out when she noticed a gray stallion, not quite the same gray as Thunderlane, more of a lighter, ash gray. He was tall and well built, large wings and a strikingly red mane and sea green eyes.

“Was I drooling! Oh Pony feathers!” she thought to herself biting her bottom lip.

The stallion in question was Greywing, he was the same age as Thunderlane, and Star was head over hoof for him. She had never dated any pony before and she found herself barely able to speak. Let alone, she didn't even know him.

“Hey..StarDash..Right? Said Greywing as he trotted towards her. “Um yeah..hey” she said looking to the ground and trying to keep herself composed

“Oh my Celestia he's talking to me!!! Like really talking to me, oh my gosh oh my gosh!!! YES YES YES” was all that was going threw her mind.

“I was wondering if..you wanna go night flying with me tonight, so, want to?

Star just about let her jaw drop to the floor.

“Me..? You wanna go night flying with me?” she asked, unsure weather this was a brilliant dream or reality. If it was a dream she wanted it to last. Star wasn't exactly the most popular of ponies, she wasn't the prettiest either, as far as she was concerned. Flitter was defiantly prettier, she was after Thunderlane 24/7, though, then again who wouldn't be? There was no question that Thunderlane was handsome, but Star had never thought him as more as a best friend.

The stallion chuckled and lay a gentle hoof on Star’s shoulder witch caused her to snap out of her daydream like trance.

“Well, you are the only pony here” he said with a smile.

His eyes were kind and his handsome features stood out more as he was now just centimeters from her, his hoof lingering on her shoulder maybe a little to long.

Star looked sheepish for a moment, letting her ears flatten “Heh..Right” she said is an embarrassed laugh, she had to hold back from face hoofing.

“I have GOT to stop embarrassing myself” she thought as she looked up at Greywing, “my gosh he's handsome...but why dose he wanna be with me? I'm just...well..Im nothing special” she thought sadly before her thoughts were interrupted by a cough from the gray pony in-front of her.

“So..Wanna go?

“Yes..I do”!

“Well All right then; ” Greywing said and the two took off into the sky, the final sliver of the setting sun just hitting the edge of the mountains and hills to the west and the rest of the sky turning to a blanket of beautiful darkness. Star loved the night, Princess Luna always did such an amazing job with it, every star a perfect glow and the moon bright and clear and a silver light playfully dancing over the land and giving a natural night light to the ponies of Equestria.

Night time was also the only time Star could clear her head and be in the prefect silence that night provided, but tonight she had a friend. “I love the night” she said, breaking the awkward silence

“I know”: he said.

“You know?” she said, being caught of guard as she stared at the colt stoping mid flight as she hovered there completely dumb founded.

“Your cutie mark?” he said it as a question as he raised an eyebrow and a koi smile swept over his face.

This time Star did face hoof “Right..” she said softly, how could she forget that the very mark of her being represented night, a blue swirling shooting star was clearly seen on her flank, she had got in when she got a telescope for her 7th birthday and began learning about the stars.

“Sorry Greywing..I’m not really good at talking to other ponies, usually I only talk to Thunderlane” she said softly, she felt a hoof on her own and looked down seeing a grey hoof holding hers “Its okay, I get it, I’m not the most talkative pony either to be honest” he said with a smile.

Star stared at his hoof as her face felt as if hot lava was running threw her cheeks. “Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh” were the only words flooding her mind.

“To tell you the truth, I always night fly alone, but I’ve seen you out here before, so I thought maybe it would be nice to have another pony with me” he said, his hoof still holding hers.

Star smiled “Yeah..it is nice, I didn’t know any pony liked night flying as much as me” she said, Her face still felt like lava and her face started to hurt from smiling so much, but she couldn't stop.

The two pony’s flew to a near by cloud and sat down, together they stared into the beautiful night. Graywing nervously placed his foreleg around stars shoulder and brought her close.

StarDash’s heart nearly jumped out of her throat when he did this. The squeaky girl voice in her head was giggling and jumping up and down as she leaned into Greywing's side. His fur was soft and his body was warm “I could fall asleep like this” she thought.

“Hey, race ya to that hill over there” he said with a grin, Star snapped out of her love dazed state and smiled back.

“Your.on” she said narrowing her eyes playfully.

The two of them raced threw the night as fast as they could, wings flapping at the highest speeds they could muster.
