The Misunderstood Pegasus

Thunderlane was at school, mainly in his History class learning about Star Swirl the Bearded.

"And that is whyeth Star Swirl hath failed to cast his own spell."

Thunderlane was into the lesson or at least he thought he was. He was only eighteen and, like lots of his peers, he couldn't stop himself from opening  the little or sometimes medium sized box (depending on the person) in his mind. Once he opened the lesson changed... for the better. Prince Artemis stepped away from his podium and started to walk towards Thunderlane.

"Well greetings child, how art thou doing this fine afternoon?"

"Uh...well I uh... I'm doing fine."

Thunderlane was blushing very hard that he couldn't speak properly. Prince Artemis was looking down to his student with a smirk on his face.

*chuckles* "Thou is quite funny making us laugh, but we also can see a bit of cuteness in thou."

"Uh t-thanks s-sir."

Thunderlane sat in his seat, his face bright red from how Prince Artemis was talking to him. He never realized that the Prince was a charmer or even tried to swing towards other stallions. He did know that all of the attention he was receiving from the Prince was making him want to do something forbidden in the school and that was...asking Prince Artemis on a date.

Thunderlane opened his eyes and looked at the clock. It read six fifteen in the evening and he slowly rose up from his previous laying down position in his bed. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the wall in front of him for a bit making sure that his head was alright and that he wouldn't be dizzy when he got up. Once he sat on his bed for five minutes his stomach growled demanding food. He got up and walked down the stairs to his kitchen looking for some food. He looked all over his kitchen and didn't find anything that sounded good so he called the local pizza joint.

"Yes I'd like a large veggie pizza with extra cheese and veggies please."

After getting his order placed and hearing the total he sat on his couch and turned on the television. After almost dosing off again he heard the doorbell ring and he got up to answer it.

"Hello sir, are you the one that had the veggie pizza with extra cheese and extra veggies?"

"Yes that is me."

"Okay that will be twenty dollars and forty five cents."

Thunderlane grabbed the money and handed it to the delivery man grabbing his pizza at the same time.

"Here you go sir. Thanks."

"No thank you. This is the first tip I have gotten in weeks."

"Well don't mention it. Now you have a good night."

"You too sir."

Thunderlane went back inside his house and sat on his couch setting his pizza on the table. He slowly opened it and smelled the glorious smell of freshly cooked pizza. Once the pizza box was opened Thunderlane grabbed a slice and took a bite. The piece made him go to heaven and the feeling only grew as he continued to eat the pizza.

This pizza is really amazing. Only proves my point that when all else fails you can always turn to a good veggie pizza.

He sat on his couch eating his pizza and stopped after eating five slices. He closed the box and walked back into his kitchen setting his pizza in the fridge and closing the refrigerator door after he got a soda. He stayed up until eleven at night and walked outside looking up at the stars.

The night sky is so beautiful. *sigh* If only I had someone to enjoy it with...

He walked back inside his ears flat against his head  and his head slightly hung down. He went up to his bathroom and took a shower to clear his head a bit before he went back to bed. His shower is just what he need, nice hot water to help ease his mind and to help him relax. He always took hot showers especially when he was either having a bad day or when was stressed. The hot water hit his body and his muscles started to ease up a bit so his showers, on those two occasions, usually lasted about an hour or so. Once he was finished he turned off the water and stepped out drying his fur with a towel then using a blow drier to make sure that his fur was all the way dry. Once he left the bathroom he went into his room and put on some clean boxers and sat down on his bed. As he sat on his bed he looked out of his window and into the mesmerizing night sky.

I just hope that I don't get made a fool of by Prince Artemis tomorrow in class again. I will try clearing my head before school because those thoughts are weirding me out. Why do I have these thoughts of my professor for one and one of the princes of Equestria for two? Maybe tomorrow will be a better day than today was.

"I hope that I can do my best tomorrow to not make a complete fool out of myself like I did today. I hate when people laugh at me for a minor mistake, but I can not control them or their sense of humor."

With those final words uttered out of his mouth he laid down and slowly started to close his eyes before his arm grabbed his blanket and covered his body. Once he was under the blanket he drifted off to sleep and lightly snored. Unbeknownst to Thunderlane, Prince Artemis was watching him in his dreams to keep an eye on him and see if he would actually clear his head of the naughty thoughts the young student had about the Prince. Prince Artemis watched as Thunderlane had a dream about him and the Prince and to Prince Artemis' surprise it was not naughty, but rather romantic. Prince Artemis saw Thunderlane with himself under a nice tree enjoying a picnic while  holding hands. Prince Artemis felt bad for his somewhat naughty behavior towards the young student yesterday after class so he formulated a plan that he hoped would make up for it. He would ask Thunderlane out on a date.
