As I said goodbye to Luna, I glared at Nyx.' If she ever comes near me again, I'll kill her' I thought. As Nyx and Luna flew off towards the castle, for the first time today, my wings were aching with exhaustion. I looked over at the unicorn stallion standing next to me. Thank you Cosmic Shadow. I wish you knew how felt about you. Cosmic Shadow looked at me after a while.

"What are looking at?" He asked with a quizzical voice.

"N-nothing." I said, looking away so he wouldn't see my rose red cheeks.

" Well ok, I guess we should head to your house first right?"

I nodded, "Eeyup"

As we were walking to my house, the moon was raised high in the night sky. It was a glorious full moon. Luna did well tonight.Once again, my gaze drifted to the black unicorn. His mane was shining like a combination of rubies and silver. He looked over as well, not saying anything. It went on like that for a while until we both snapped back to reality, looking away at the same time. Stop it Illusion! If he ever finds out- My thought was cut off by a warm hug. Cosmic Shadow was holding on to me tightly, yet tenderly. After getting over the shock, I relaxed and hugged him back. It may have just been a second, or a minute, or an hour. Time stood still for me. And I loved every second of it.

After a while, he let go, with a thin trace of red on his face. We were almost half way to my family's hut, suddenly I was surrounded by a green magic aura. Cosmic Shadow used his magic to drag me towards the safe side of the woods, away from my home. I started getting nervous.

"C-Cosmic Shadow"

"C-Cosmic Shadow?"

I look back at Illusion Flight. I try to look away from those scared, questioning, and beautiful eyes. I shook my head, getting the ridiculous thought out. We've been friends for as long as we can remember. I cant possibly like her like that. I thought. I opened my mouth, only for it to go dry.Why did I turn here? This path leads to.... Before I can stop myself, I answer.

" We're going to a very secret and important place of mine."

She relaxes, rolling her eyes, she put on a childish smile.

"If you wanted to take me on a date you could've just asked." She replied in a mocking tone.

If only you kne- Once again I shake my head.

"Sure Feather Hooves, whatever you say."

Her expression changed from that of a prankster to an annoyed adult. She slightly lifts her muzzle.

" HEY! Its not my fault I'm silent on my hooves!" She smirked. "Anyways, at least my nickname isn't Cosmo."

" What wrong with that?" I asked , slightly offended.

"Hold on to your flank Cosmo. Nothing, just a joke." She said , almost surprised that I didn't pick that up.

We're on the edge of a big pond. We have made it. I smile.

"We've made it."

"What this is it?" She asked. " Sorry ,but, I've passed this place before."

" During the night?"

" Well no but-"

"That your problem then. Plus it's a FULL moon."

"I don't get it."

" Fly up and tell me what you see."

"O-ok."

I fly up higher and higher until I could see all of the mass of water before me. What I see takes my breath away. The pond's shape is a large heart, I would've rolled my eyes at that. The center of it though, had a picture id never expect in a pond. In the center, moonlight reflected a familiar cutie mark. A white crescent moon with a white star by it.

"He freaking showed me a pond with his cutie mark in it." I laugh flying down.

Cosmo looked at me with a quizzical look.

" Hey, I guess a pond with your cutie mark in it would be awesome but, the heart shape? Really?" I say.

My friend falls silent. He looks at me intensely. I stiffen up, getting nervous.

"The pond is enchanted Illusion Flight. It's called Moon Match Waters. It shows the pony who looks upon it the cutie mark of who they truly love the most." He said " It only works on a full moon."

My mouth instantly goes dry. For that means I just told him I liked him. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. One after one tears start pouring down my face. My chest felt like a hole just got stabbed into my heart. I look at his face, with a look of understanding and an unknown emotion to her. She fell to the ground for the second time.

"- It only works on a full moon."

Illusion Flight looks at me, stunned and embarrassed, she stiffened. And I know why. S-She likes me? Why? And how? I think.

She falls to the ground again, crying out the only remaining tears she has. I look at her, my friend, and admirer. I understand why she is despaired. She thinks there is no way for me to love her now. She is heart broken. I walk slowly towards her. Putting a hoof on her shoulder, I whisper " Why?"

"Why?"

I stop crying and get off the ground. I didn't need to keep feeling sorry for myself. I chuckle at the question.

"Isn't it obvious?" I say with my usual spunk. " Your cute (in a good way), talented, smart, and caring. Yes, you've been hurt beyond compare by those who reject you. But you also are important to those around you. To me."

I can tell that he's a little surprised by my words, but hey, when you find out your friend likes you stuff gets crazy. I turn, intending to fly home, where I can cry in peace. I'm in air when I feel my tail get caught. I look back and see Cosmic Shadow's magic aura holding it back, keeping me pinned in the same spot. Though, his gaze is on the water, the pond. His eyes widen, he gasps, taken aback. He looks me in the eyes, his emerald gaze crossing mine. He softens his look, smiling.

He walks over to me, who landed on the ground a few feet away. He puts a hoof on my back, looking at the moon. I look at the ground.

"The moon is especially pretty tonight. Look." He sighed.

I look up at the silver orb. It was, it always was. I look at him, expecting his look to be focused on the sky. But no, his gaze was on me. Instead of looking away like I usually do, I didn't. I became transfixed by his emerald gaze, enchanted by an unknown magic. Love. Love is a crazy thing. I think.

" For years I've never seen a cutie mark in this pond." He begins," For years I've never truly loved somepony. Until now."

My heart is pounding. 'Surely he doesn't mean me? No. He couldn't.'

"Until a moment ago. Illusion Flight." He paused, " I love you."

I'm stunned, mouth dry, and I'm crying again. Only out of joy this time. I smile, revealing my fangs, not caring.

" You know, I think your eyes reflect your mood cause they're hot pink now." He laughs.

I blush. I still can't speak, too choked up I guess.

Not liking the silence, he put his hooves around me again, hugging me. I instantly relax into the warm embrace, hugging him back. We slightly pull our heads back to look at each other. For the first time, I see a dreamy look in his eyes. Breaking the space, he kisses me lightly.

My heart explodes!

After what seems like a day, We part. Then, we return to our route to our own houses. We reach an intersection. I look at him.

"So, are we dating? I'm trying to see if this a dream." I ask and tease.

He nods. " Yes. Want to meet some other time?"

" Tomorrow?" I ask excitedly.

"Sure." He says, nodding. " Goodnight."

We part down our separate roads. As I walk down mine, I think one thing.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I think as I bolt to my house.

" The pegasus is falling for my son, perfect." A mysterious figure says watching the teal mare fly into her home. She turns toward the black figure by her.

"It's time to begin our plan." She said, her blue eyes narrowed with a sly smile.
