The Flim Flam Brothers' Guide to Wooing the Mare of Your Dreams

Next, try and see if you can bump into her at a social gathering, such as a party or a dance. Please note, you are not to invite the mare if your dreams to a social gathering just yet. Also, do not make it seem like you are following her around. Contrary to popular belief, mares do not like being stalked by colts. As a matter of fact, nopony likes being followed around everywhere. In other words, try and make the run in seem coincidental.

Twilight Sparkle was out shopping in ponyville. After writing various notes on the books that had arrive earlier that week, making multiple lists, and trying her hand at writing something of her own, she'd run out of ink. So, she was off to the Quill and Sofa shop, which also happens to sell ink. And then somepony ran directly into her. It was a yellow unicorn who went by the name of Comet Tail.

"Oh, sorry, Twilight," he said, directly after he bumped into her. "I was just excited because I'm off to a book club." "Really?" replied Twilight, "What book are you reading there? Is it Journey to the Center of Equestria? Or, is it something more modern, like A Brief History of Time by the Princess herself?"
Comet was obviously not prepared for such an inquiry, as he took a quite noticeable pause, and started moving from foot to foot nervously. "Um, we're readi-," he began, only to cut himself off and then start pacing. After a minute or so, Comet then turned around and ran away, yelling things such as, "I'm not a good liar," and, "The book Thunderlane lent me didn't say anything about other books!" The last thing Comet said made Twilight a little curious, so she proceeded to go find Rainbow Dash. They were going to pay Thunderlane a visit.
