Love in the Time of Postage
This... Rocks?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI walked out of the library and went to the bakery. Outside was a stallion with a notebook. "Um... hi."
He turns towards me frantically. He sees my face and is calmed down. "Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were Pinkie..."
"I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult... My name's Nicholt!" I say, walking up to him.
"I'm Rockah. Or Rocky, or Rockmire, or simply Rock. I'm trying to think of a story." he says, looking at his notebook.
"In front of a bakery?" I say, confused.
"Um..." Rocky says. He sighs. "If you must know, I'm in love with Pinkie Pie. She's taking up my every thought! I'm just standing here and trying to draw her... What do you think?" He held up the notebook. 
I look at the picture. It's... almost spot-on! "Amazing! Are you a drawer?" I say.
"I'm a writer, actually. I tend to do well in anything involving pencils or pens..." he says, "Thanks for the compli-" he starts, but stops. His wings extend within a mere second. I look behind me and the pink mare was directly in my face.
"Hey, Nicholt. Hi, Rocky!" she said, bounding with energy.
"Um... h-h-hi P-P-Pinkie..." the stallion said, nervous.
"Whatcha writin'?" she asks, pulling the notebook towards her
"NOTHING!" he yells.
"Is that... a drawing of me?"
"A, um, friend of mine gave it to me." he looks at me. I shake my head no, and mouth the words "Tell her you drew it."
"I think it looks cute!"
"Really?" he asks, less nervous.
"Tell him I said it was nice!" she says, walking into the bakery.
"Pinkie, wait! I... drew... it..." he says, his chance lost. He looks at me.
"I told you..." I said, walking towards the bakery.
"Wait! Can you tell her..." he starts, but can't continue.
"Sure. I'll tell her you drew it." I say with a smile.
I walk into the bakery and am immediately tackled by the pink mare. She is sitting on my chest when she asks, "Did you draw this?" with a tinge of confusion.
"No. He did." I say, pointing towards Rockah.
"But... he said a friend wrote i-" I put my hoof to her mouth.
"I know you think you love me. I'm not the one you should choose. Pick him. He's nice, he's friendly, and he's ENERGETIC! He's perfect for you!" I say, pushing her off of me. She nods.
"You're right! Thanks, Nick!" she says. She then kisses me and walks outside. She has a conversation with Rockah, and afterwards hugs him. He's ecstatic.
I walk out and go to Sweet Apple Acres.
One love interest down, four to go. Sorry all of you NicholtXPinkie lovers, but that's not meant to be.
