Born to Light

Though he seemed to know her, Twilight Sparkle was completely convinced that she had never seen the stallion before. His entire fur coat gave off a sleek teal color; his mane a soft green. His large, attentive eyes contained two magenta irises, and it was clear by their shrinking that he was uneasy about something. The hair atop his head, obviously gel-coated and unsuccessfully styled, drooped slightly above his right eye. His flank bore a very peculiar symbol: a dark grey rectangle behind two downward chevrons – one teal, one green. Just what exactly did that represent?

Twilight noticed the stallion's inability to keep eye contact with her. It seemed that whenever he tried to look at her straight in the eyes, his cheeks turned a barely noticeable red – at least, barely noticeable to anyone other than her.

The stallion also carried a rugged purple backpack; multiple stacks of papers stuck out like flowers sprouting from the ground. Each paper was type-written, and some even showed off tears or crinkles.

With nervous eyes, a blushing face, and suspicious papers sprouting from his backpack, the stallion looked to be the typical teenage nerd with an irrational crush. Twilight thought she knew where this was going.
