My Dear Silver

Hello again. I'm sorry for not writing for a long while, but Rarity had me trying on suits for tonight. She wants me to look my best for the occasion like she does any other time. Sometimes I think that she is holding me hostage to try on so many different ensembles so I start talking to her like she is an evil mastermind and she always giggles at this but plays along to the best of her ability.

The reason I am writing in this memories journal is because tonight is a very important event in my lifetime. You see, the past while, things have been completely crazy and I am STILL trying to comprehend everything that has happened and I was there to witness it all. I'm pretty sure I made at least 5 ponies cry, almost died, got attacked by the CMC at a doughnut place, met up with Flash after a long while and managed to make both the princesses worry so much about me that they broke down. Maybe I AM a monster.

But enough about all that. Tonight is gonna go amazingly, because I have a date with Silver Spoon. She is at Diamond Tiara's place getting ready for tonight while Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight and Applejack are helping me prepare for my first ever date with a pony. I don't think that this will be all to hard but this IS a new dating world for me so this could be so much different than what I am used to. Maybe I am overthinking things here.

Anyways, time to go downstairs to talk to Rarity about my outfit tonight. As I descend the stairwell, I notice she is running around the room at lightning speed. It seems like she is trying to put all the suits into one so that I don't have to choose one. As I walk in front of her, she stops on a dime and stares right at me, confused. I point towards a simple black and white suit that resembles something I would have worn in my old world and she simply nodded and walked towards it, levitated it with her magic and gave it to me. I decided to get myself out of here the only way I knew how. I carefully put down the suit and pushed Rarity over to the mirror so that she can see the mess that was her mane. It took two seconds for her to scream and kick me and my newly made ensemble out the door so that she could straighten up. I simply laughed and started to walk over to Twilight's library.

As I strolled through the streets of Ponyville, I noticed a few ponies asking me what the suit was for and I told them that it was for a special night tonight. The mares gave me the 'proud of you' look and the stallions simply awed at me, probably due to a lot of them being single and not having the first clue about the whole dating thing like me. Nonetheless it made me feel accomplished that I had a date tonight and that the lovely pony who I was going to dinner with was the most beautiful pony in this land. As I start to shake the thoughts off, blushing, I notice Twilight's library in the distance and rush over to it, eager to get some input from the know-it-all herself.

As I reached the door of the library, I suddenly stopped in place, thinking that I had herd a sound from the bush near the entrance. As I look over to it, I notice a snake like tail sticking out and a hoof from another part of the bush. It took a little bit before I registered what exactly was in this bush. As I walked over to it, I poked at the hoof. In an instant, a flash of light appeared before my eyes and there IT was. The craziest thing in Equestria...

"Discord, what the heck are you doing here?" I ask, genuinely confused.

"Oh, I have simply come to talk to Twilight but I need someone to go in with or else she will think I'm trying to ruin her day. Can I go in with you Anon?" He asks, tilting his head.

"Fine, but be on your best behavior!" I say, seriously.

"Very well." He bows and gestures me to go in.

I open the door to the library. As me and Discord walk in, I notice spike reading one of his comic books like he usually does when I come to this place. I hear Twilight call from the other room letting me know that she will be a minute before she can help me. As I take a seat, I grab the first book my hand touches and start to fake read it to have something to do. A few moments pass and the sound of hoofs trotting down the stairs signals me to look up and see the purple unicorn herself.

"Hello Anon and... Discord?" She says, both annoyed and confused.

"Hello Twilight!" Discord starts, "I was wondering if you have any books on dealing with... breakup..?"

It seems he thought that I wouldn't hear him when he said that but I heard him loud and clear. I walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Fluttershy didn't think you were the one huh?" I ask, concerned.

"Yeah..." Discord says sadly.

"It's ok. Plenty more opportunities out there!" I say, attempting to cheer him up.

He seems to brighten up at this statement and embraces me in a hug. This... Draconaqu... dragonique.... DISCORD... can be chaotic all he wants but he is nothing but a big softy once you get to know him. As he looks back to Twilight, she hands him a book that she thinks will help him deal with the emotions cycling through him currently. As he bows to her, he disappears in a flash, leaving the library void of life, other than a unicorn, a baby dragon and a human. Me and Twilight look at each other and nod. She gestures me to follow her upstairs so she can give me a few tips and pointers on dating here in Equestria and I am happy to follow.

"Thanks again, Twilight!" I say, waving her off while leaving the library.

Almost an HOUR later and she is finally done with her tips and pointers. I didn't know that she would have that much information on the subject in her head but as it stands, not once did she pull out a q-card or had notes in front of her. This must all be common knowledge for her. Well, in any case, I decide not to bug Fluttershy right now because of what Discord had told me so it seems like my next stop is going to be Sweet Apple Acres. As I walk through the remainder of Ponyville, I see the small dirt road heading off to the apple orchard and I start down the path to see Applejack once again.

When I start to come upon the outskirts of Sweet Apple Acres, I hear a loud thud from out in the field. I know that Applejack and Big Mac are strong but the only one I have ever seen come close to knocking down a tree was Silver Spoon. But, I know she wont be out here so it was probably an accident by one of the apples. As I look over to the barn, I see a familiar orange mare in a cowpony hat. I walk up to the barn so I don't alert her of my presence. I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for...

"ANON!" Apple Bloom squeaks, giving me away.

Applejack turns around, giving me a 'So Close yet So Far' grin and walks up to me.

"Tryin' to sneak up on me?" Applejack says, slyly.

"Trick question! You will tackle me either opti- OOMPH!" I was cut off by being tackled... CALLED IT!

"Yep! Y'all shouldn't of tried sneakin' up on me!" She giggles, getting off me.

I get up and brush the dirt off me. As I explain why I am here early, she understands and says we can start whenever I am ready. I gesture her to lead the way and we head over to the house where she will be teaching me how to talk to Silver on the date. Speaking of the filly, I wonder how she and Diamond Tiara are holding up. I hope they haven't driven themselves crazy yet...
