A New Pony in Town

Kayti took in the sight of hundreds of books in the room. She was really in Heaven with all those books.

“This is just the first room. There’s the throne room and another room that’s filled with books. This is just half of the books,” Discord said. Kayti grinned widely. She felt like she was going to die from happiness.

“I absolutely love it! Books as far as the eye can see! I might die from book shock,” Kayti said. Suddenly Twilight came in. Kayti gasped.

“Princess Twilight,” Kayti said in shock. She bowed respectfully. Twilight blushed at this sign of respect.

“Oh you don’t have to do that Miss…” Twilight said.

“Kayti Sparklewriter. I am a huge fan of yours. I’m a writer. I heard that you love reading and you are great with magic. I sometimes wish that I was an alicorn so that I could use magic and fly. Also, I’m visiting from Foalhio,” Kayti said. Twilight smiled.

“I love to meet writers. They are always so fun to talk to,” Twilight said. “Why don’t you come and look at some of my books?” Twilight offered. Kayti smiled.

“I would love to Princess Twilight,” Kayti said.

“Oh no need for you to be so formal, you may call me Twilight,” Twilight said. Kayti nodded.

“If that’s what you want then alright,” Kayti said.  Twilight made a movement with her hoof that indicated for Kayti to come forward. Kayti followed Twilight and stopped. “I’ll see you guys later then?” Kayti asked. Fluttershy tried to nod happily but it was not fully enthusiastic. Discord waved his paw. Kayti smiled at Discord and Fluttershy and followed Twilight, leaving Fluttershy and Discord alone for the time being.

(Twilight’s throne room)

“You have so many books,” Kayti said. Twilight nodded.

“I keep them for my studies. I love filling my head with new information. What books are your favorites?” Twilight asked. Kayti thought about it and answered.

“I enjoy fiction mostly but I love learning information as well. I also enjoy reading old reads. I also enjoy historical fiction and plays. I love Romeo and Lulipony,” Kayti said. Twilight’s eyes lit up.

“I love that tragedy… though that sounds mean,” Twilight said. They both laughed. “What is your favorite part?” Twilight asked. “The romance, the tragedy, or the morals?”

“I actually enjoy the romance. I love the love between them. You can tell that they love each other so much. I love how it was love at first sight as well. I don’t believe in it myself but I think it’s nice to dream anyway,” Kayti said. Twilight nodded and they began discussing the literature they enjoy and discussed more about Romeo and Lulipony.

(Back to Discord and Fluttershy)

“Do you want to get something to eat maybe?” Fluttershy asked Discord. It was getting awkward and neither mare nor Draconequus liked it.

“Sure,” Discord said. Fluttershy and Discord were about to walk out of the castle when Discord stopped.

“Actually…I think I’m going to wait for Kayti. You go ahead though,” Discord said. Fluttershy gritted her teeth to keep from exploding with jealousy.

“Alright, see you soon then,” Fluttershy said through gritted teeth. Discord waved and Fluttershy waved back and walked out. Discord waited until she was out of sight and made a bubble that showed what was going on in Twilight’s room with Kayti and Twilight. He knew Fluttershy wouldn’t want him to eavesdrop but he couldn’t resist. He looked at the bubble and saw the two mares chatting. He watched curiously and listened to what they were saying.

(Bubble)

“Do you have a special some pony?” Twilight asked.

“No…but…” Kayti started to say.

“Oh, the juicy gossip. I tuned in at the right time,” Discord said.

(Bubble)

“But…” Twilight asked. Kayti blushed.

“I do like some colt that I met here,” Kayti said.

“Can you tell me who?” Twilight asked.

“It…he…I don’t know if I should…I mean…you have to promise not to tell any pony,” Kayti said. “I trust you…I mean you’re one of the elements of harmony after all.”

“I promise not to tell any pony,” Twilight promised. Kayti gulped.

“It’s…it is Discord,” Kayti said. Discord almost fell over when he heard this.
