Chapter 63: Watching the sky

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

We continued watching the cloud as it slowly moved by. After a few minutes it finally went out of view and we moved on. Keeping our slow pace, we talked.

"Now I get why you really like the sunset." Twilight said happily.

"And just what's your theory?" I asked.

"It's beautiful, just like all the other things in the sky." She smiled.

I smiled back and sighed thoughtfully. "For the longest time, watching the sun go down on the horizon was really the only thing I liked about this place. I guess in a weird way you reminded me it's not." I chuckled.

She smiled quietly and looked around again. We crossed the street and walked on. I spotted the park up ahead and had an idea. I changed route and instead of taking a turn went straight. We neared the open area of it and I looked around. It was early so no one would be there. We had it all to ourselves. I lead her through the open grassy field to the small hill near the middle. She followed me up it and I stopped at the top to look back to her. She looked around to see the view of the small plot of trees.

She smiled at the site of one of the larger ones and I understood easily. I sat down on the soft grass and waited. She stood there a few feet from me, still looking at the tree fondly. I looked to the tree and thought about what I would feel if I wasn't here, in my own home. Then again, I wouldn't have much being that all there really is is Jeremy and Justin. But I remembered what little family I had left. My mother and younger brother. They wouldn't mind that much if I was gone, but they'd still miss me. I wondered just what all the other ponies were doing without her. Maybe they were looking for her. How could one screw up of a spell cause her to be here? She must have felt so out of place on earth. She probably still does.

All I cared about and wanted was her to be happy. I had to face facts that at some point I just might have to let her go. I laid back on the grass and looked at the bright blue of the sky, thinking. Could I let her go? Could I? What would I say? I loved her and wanted to be with her, but I have my own place where I belong. It would kill me to not be with her, close to her, to see her beside me. I let out a frustrated breath and closed my eyes. "Why me?" I asked myself. "Why did I have to be the one to have her dropped on? Why did I have to be the one to fall for her?"

I felt something move against me and opened my eyes to see Twilight lying next to me. She was pressed against me and her hand was beside mine. I could see her eyes follow a cloud and I looked up to it. The one solitary cloud over us, just floating by. I looked back to Twilight, a weird thought in my head.

"Hey Twi,"

"Yeah?" She answered turning to me.

"What do you think it would be like? The other way around."

"What do you mean?" She asked with a curious expression.

"Like how it is now. You and me. What do you think it would be like if I was the one stuck in your world?" I asked.

She looked back up at the sky thinking. A few quiet seconds passed before she answered. "I don't know."

"Do you think we'd still be...us?" I asked with a soft expression.

"I don't know."

I looked back up to the sky and thought about it. "We'd find a way and be together, right?"

Her hands moved closer to mine and held onto it. "I don't really want to think about it."

I held on to her hand and looked down to her. "Well, we're like this now. Why worry about it?"

She smiled and rested her head on my shoulder. We looked back up at the small cloud together in silence.
