We need Hope

Explanation Part 1

It was re-supplying day for Golden Oaks. Well, Twilight's OCD was more or less raging wild today, and just as anyone would have thought she would have act, she found out she was low on A LOT of supplies. “Oh Celestia,” Twilight mumbled. She started freaking out, pacing back and forth like a filly losing her new toy. She she began to finally calm down. The amount of missing supplies were lower than they ever had been, and she didn't need to deal with this now. “SPIKE!” she yelled, and a purple baby dragon started running down the stairs, tripping on the last one.

Spike, though, got up, and took one look at Twilight and how she was acting, and he knew exactly what was going on.

“What do we need?” he called, going back upstairs to get the list and quill. Twilight just blinked, quite surprised at the young dragon`s efficiency. She snapped out of her trance and listed off what she needed, when Spike asked,

“Umm, where are the quills?” Twilight face hoofed.

Ponyville

It was very sunny and quite warm for early fall. As Twilight and Spike walked past the various markets and street-vendors, Twilight couldn't help but realize that Spike had become quite glum. “Is everything alright Spike?”

Spike sighed. “I've just been thinking… about Rarity…”Spike said, just loud enough for Twilight to hear. Normally Twilight would joke about it by saying, “What type of mustache do you want this time?” and they would both laugh, but it seemed like this time, something was very wrong.

“Spike, take a day off.” Twilight said. “When I get home, let’s talk, ok?” She finished. Spike gleamed with happiness again. Twilight took the quill and list out of his claws, and Spike jumped up and hugged Twilight. “Thank you,” Spike whispered in her ear.

Twilight smiled and started walking down the street again. As she walked, she saw there was a new cart that sold “Silver quills, ma`am,” a deep voice read the sign for her. She looked down from the sign and realized that she walked over to the cart unconsciously.

“Oh, um, I've never heard of those before, what's different about them?” Twilight said, trying not to sound awkward. She looked at the earth pony stallion and saw that he was quite… Silver. Even his eye color was silver. He`s good-looking too. She thought. She didn't deny it either, or was surprised.

“They last ten- times longer, and they hold in ink even better than the highest quality brand” He said. He looked at her for a while. “What`s your name?” he asked.

“U-um Twilight Sparkle.” She responded. She didn't know what was with this stallion that made her so nervous.

“Hm, that's a wonderful name, Twilight. My name is Silver-Speech, but you can call me Silver” He said with graduate. Twilight giggled.

“Well, I’ll buy two of them, how many bits?” Twilight said. She didn’t know why, but she wanted to get to know him much more. Silver Speech looked around him, then went next to her ear.

“Since you are my first customer, I’ll give them to you for free,” He whispered. He handed her three quills and went back to his cart. “It was nice to meet you Miss Sparkle! Come back soon! “He yelled out behind her.

oh trust me, I will she thought.

“So, thats how it began?” Applejack asked. Twilight nodded. She decided to stay, just to make sure Twilight didn't do anything stupid. Although she said she was fine, those closest to her knew she was anything but. After the Silver-Speech incident, she just wasn't the same, and every pony was worried she was going to cease being herself completely. *Why did that motherfucking bastard do this to my Sparkles?* Applejack thought. She knew only part of what happened. She wanted the full story. So Applejack asked when her feelings started to become deeper for Silver. No pony really knew, so Applejack wanted to be the first. *Everything is going to be ok.*
