Chapter 1: Stargazing

Chapter 1: Stargazing

     Comet Tail is sitting on a hill about half a mile outside of Ponyville. This certain spot is a good spot for stargazing. Comet is a yellow coated unicorn with a bit of grayish blue mane and tail and eyes. And his cutie mark is a comet like image with a star at the end. He was busy admiring the night sky until he hears what sounds like two voices. He quickly looks around him until he sees two figures in the distance. At first he doesn't recognize them so he decided too get closer.

     When he gets close he immediately recognize them: Spike the little dragon assistant and Princess Twilight Sparkle.  He then finds himself admiring her from afar. For the past few years when she first moved in he steadily grew too admire her. Then that admiration turned into a crush. At first he thought he had a chance, until she became a princess it then became a dream too him. Because now she seems too be out of reach since he sees himself as a simple common pony.

     Before he can do anything he can't help but eavesdrop on them. The first one too speak he sees is Spike "Twilight I thought we were out here to look at the night skies."

     "Spike, we are out here too see if Luna changes the night sky every now and again."

     "And this started about last winter if I remember."

     "Indeed Spike. Though for some time now I never thought of it. Until last winter."

     Spike gave out a long sigh and says "Alright. Though do we really need too bring all these books?"

     "Of course Spike. Some of those books has pictures of the night sky for the last many years."

     Comet then smiles at him remember that he read all the same books. And he knows some things about the night sky. When he thought of this he realized that he might have something in common with her. He then smiles and skips away back towards Ponyville thinking he might have a shot too go out with Twilight. Though he knows it will be a while before he confesses his feelings too her.

Two months later

     Comet Tail is walking down the streets of Ponyville heading towards the library too return a book he has gotten from there. He has been going there every week for the past two months. Though on the outside he may be interested in the books he's getting. Though too him he is in fact going there too try to build up the courage to talk too Twilight. Though he may not have the courage too talk to her he at least get different books. Like books on stars, even a Daring Do book that has her on a adventure where clues are in the stars.

     When he finally arrive at the library he knocks on the front door. When it opened up he sees Spike was the one that opened it.

     "Hey Twilight, it's Comet Tail." Shouted Spike towards the inside

     "Oh is it that time. Let him in." Said an angelic voice that Comet recognize all too well.  He then walks inside and inside sitting at the center table is Twilight and a white unicorn mare whom he knows is Rarity. A beautiful mare but not as beautiful as Twilight.

     "Hello Twilight. I'm here too return a book I borrowed last week." Said Comet

     "Alright Comet. Just place it on the desk." Replied Twilight

     He then walks towards the desk while overhearing both mares talking.

     "So Twilight, how was that trip too Canterlot last week?"

     Twilight thinks for a bit and replied "Well it was fine. Celestia is still doing well. And Luna is fine and my family is still happy as always."

     Rarity gets a concerned look hearing Twilights answer sounded like she wasn't excited and says "Darling, is something the matter?"

     "Well it's that, one day I thought Blueblood was acting strange."

     Rarity after hearing that name gets a disgruntled look and says "Don't worry about that snob. He probably was acting like the idiot he is."

     "Your probably right Rarity."

     Comet Tail after hearing this remembers that week. He was a bit worried that she had a coltfriend in Canterlot. Though after she returned he later learned from his friend Blue that she was there visiting her family. He was then glad and happy too hear this that he rented a couple more books from the library. He then drops off the book and rents another book whom Spike helped him with while Twilight and Rarity continued talking. He then gotten the book and leaves feeling that wasn't the right time.

     After Comet left Rarity then says "So that stallion that comes in, how often does he arrive?"

     "You mean Comet, he comes by once a week to get a book."

     Rarity then smiled and says "Oh, I saw him looking towards us, or more at you."

     "What do you mean? He just comes in and rents a book for the past two months."

     Rarity then shakes her head at her comment and replies "Twilight, he seems like a nice colt. And besides if I remember we aren't getting younger. And I think it's about time you get a stallion for yourself."

     "Come on Rarity, I work a lot. I don't think I have time for romance."

     "Alright. If you insist."

     Both of them then continued talking about other subjects besides love and colts.

(**)

     Comet Tail on the other hoof was mentally hitting himself. "Stupid me! Another day missed."

     He then goes into the park and sits down on a bench and pulls out the book and starts too read it. Though he is also again trying too think of a way too talk to Twilight. Quietly he then starts to talk too himself. "Maybe I should talk to Rarity. Though that might never work. Though she could help."

     He then shrugs his shoulders and continued reading his book.

Chapter 2: Courage

Chapter 2: Courage

     Two weeks went by and Comet still hasn't talked too Twilight about anything other then the books he was getting. And everytime he gets back home he finds himself face planting onto the desk. After he banged his head and received a headache he went back too his books he gotten and went in front a mirror in his bathroom trying too psych himself up.

     "Come on Comet, how hard is it to talk too a mare."

     He looks at his reflection expecting an answer until he shakes his head and says "Come on Comet. Let's just go."

     He then picked up the books in a gold aura and started walking out the door and towards the library. When he comes up towards the library he noticed a sign on the door. When he comes up too it it reads:

Sorry. The library is closed for today because of an emergency.

     Comet is at first confused because usually Twilight gives a reason why she closes the library. He then shrugged his shoulders and put the book in a slot where he knows where ponies can return any books they have. After he is done he then turned around and walked back down the street towards his home wondering where Twilight is today.

     After he left and goes on some errands he fails too notice a pony coming right at him until

     "BUMP"

     "Ouch!"

     Comet then rubs his head and says turning hugs head towards the pony "Sorry, I didn't see you there."

     When he sees whom he bumped into his jaw dropped and sees he bumped into Twilight.

     "Twilight! Ah I uh sorry."

     Twilight giggled and says "That's alright Comet. Though it was also my fault since I wasn't looking myself."

     Both continued trading apologies until they stooped and both started giggling. "Well too make it up too you, how about we go for a drink?" Asked Comet

     "Well, guess I could. Even though I don't have anything now and I gotten back." Replied Twilight

     "Great! I know a good place."

     So then Comet helped Twilight up and walked towards a small cafe. They started too talk until Comet realized "I think I'm finally taking Twilight out for a date! If you can call it that. Who cares, thank you Celestia."

(**)

     Comet and Twilight are seen sitting at a table talking and laughing.

     "Wow, you and your friends sure have interesting lives." Said Comet

     "Yep. Though lately things are quite and slow that the trouble seems too have died down." Replied Twilight

     Comet then takes a sip from his drink and says "So what were you doing at Canterlot? Some business with the Princess?"

     "Something like that. Though it was just a small matter on the drought in Appleloosa."

     "Wow, that sounds serious."

     "Actually it was simple too do. Seems like Fancy Pants helped a little since he commissioned a blimp that's going to carry gallons of water too the town."

     Comet then suddenly grew interested and impressed "Wow, he seems to be very popular."

     "Guess you could say that." Said Twilight "He sure is the only pony in Canterlot that's concerned with what's going on outside of the city."

     Comet continues listening too Twilight until she takes a sip of her drink again and he says "So Twilight, just curious what's your plans for tomorrow?"

     Twilight suddenly gagged on her drink until she takes a breather and says "Well uh Comet, I uh..."

     "Oh just say yes!"

     Both Twilight and Comet jumped at the voice and turned towards it and sees Rarity standing nearby.

     "Rarity! What are you doing here?" asked Twilight

     "Oh I come here three times a week. Until I saw you two here and I was curious at what you two are doing here."

     "Well me and Comet are just here having a drink."

     Rarity suddenly gets a close smiling at Twilight "Oh really? Well then I guess this is like a date."

     "What!?" Both Twilight and Comet said

     "Well, seems like I'm right." She then suddenly gasped and says excitedly "We must get you ready for tomorrow night!"

     "But Rarity! I hadn't agreed too it."

     Rarity then looks at Comet and sees he had a disappointed look on his face until Twilight says "Well, then again I guess I can spend time with him."

     Rarity then did an imitation of a fan filly and says "Well then best get you ready! Though what are you going too do with her on this date Comet?"

     Comet then noticed both of them are looking at him and he stutters out "Well I was thinking of a moonlit picnic under the stars." "At the hill where I first fell for her."

     Rarity the swooned and says "That sounds so romantic." She then turns at Twilight and says "Well now best get you ready Twilight."

     She then grabs Twilight and pulls her towards the Boutique leaving Comet alone watching the two mares smiling that he is going too get the chance too be with Twilight. Even though she is a Princess and he is a simple pony. He then did a hop, skip and a jump at his table though he stopped when he sees some ponies looking at him. He then blushed and payed for the drinks and went home happily whistling along the way.

(**)

     The next day in the afternoon about an hour before the dun sets. Comet was going through the things he needed for the date. "Okay, basket check, sandwiches check, cider check, clear weather check, blanket check, rose check." He looks at the mirror at hugs reflection and says "All cleaned up and a bow tie ready and mane combed down."  He then picks up the basket and walks out of his home and towards the library.

     About thirty minutes later he finally arrives and holds the basket and pulls out the rose with his magic and knocks on the door.  He didn't have too wait long when the door opens and hugs jaw drops and he can't help but stare at the mare in front of him. Twilight has her mane braided and her eyelashes seem too flow gently from her eyes.

     "Well, hello Comet." Twilight said blushing a little

     Comet then finally shakes his head and hoofs over the rose saying "Wow Twilight, you are beautiful this evening."

     Twilights blush goes deeper and says "Thank you Comet." She then takes the rose and steps out the door as she is smelling it. Both of then then head on out and unknown too then five pair of eyes are watching them.

     "Rarity, why do you want too follow them?" Asked Applejack

     "Yea, I don't do much with this love stuff. I could be napping." Said Rainbow Dash

     "I can't wait too throw them a party!" Said an excited Pinkie Pie

     "Well if they want too I'm sure they will tell us about it." Replied Fluttershy

     "Come on girls," said Rarity "Aren't you curious on how it goes?"

     "Nope. Though even if I am we should respect their privacy." Said Applejack

     And the five of them continued talking about it unaware they lost the two of them. Both of which are heading outside of Ponyville.
