My Dear Silver

"I don't wanna get up mom!" I say, making excuses to be left alone for the day

I honestly don't wanna be bothered today. Ever since Hearts and Hooves day I've been feeling really crappy. I wish it went smoother than it did. I mean, not only did I walk out on Diamond and a PRINCESS, but I ended up crying in front of Anon. He probably thinks I'm a total wimp. I wish I could confront him and say how sorry I am for crying on him, but I don't know where he is right now.

"Come on Silver, Breakfast is ready!" Mom calls up to me.

"FINE!" I yell down. Ugh, why is she so annoying at times.

As I slowly get out of bed, I swear I hear the pillow calling to me. As much as I wanted to go back to feel its angelic softness against my face, I was already up and off the bed. I hate this part of the morning. I head over to the dresser and grab my glasses and pearls. I carefully place the glasses over my eyes and string the pearls back around my neck. As I walk over to the mirror, I notice my hair is a complete mess. Eh, screw it, I'll let it slide for now. I start walking down the hall towards the stairs and slowly make my way down to the second floor of the house (Since my bedroom and all other sleeping quarters were up on the third) and walked into the kitchen. I took a whiff of the air and that's when I felt it. It was the feeling of smelling fresh cut Hay-Bacon. I walked over to the table and took my seat.

My mother walked over with with my plate in her mouth. As she set it down in front of me, she gasped.

"Silver" She said, shocked, "What happened to your mane?!"

"Oh come on mom" I rolled my eyes at her, "Not everyone can wake up with a perfect mane like you!"

She furiously shook her head.

"But you can at least make the effort to try to!" She said.

Yea, I don't think my mother was the smartest pony, especially with comments like that. I mean, does she actually believe people CHOOSE to wake up with bad hair? That is just. so. stupid!

"If I comb out my mane will it make you feel be-" I was cut off by the feeling of my hair being brushed.

"No need sweetie" She said, cheerfully, "I got you covered!"

I swear to Celestia, she may be annoying and relentless, but she does know how to style a mane! I looked at her and forced a smile onto my face. I ate quickly so I could get back upstairs quickly. After gobbling down the contents of my plate, I placed in the sink. Before I could leave, mom stopped me and pointed towards the table. I forgot about the spoon anon gave me. I brought it upstairs with me, case and all. As I entered back into my room, I placed the case on the floor and opened it. I still can't believe he gave it to me. He hardly knew me! It was the most kind gesture anyone has ever done for me! Maybe there is more to him then meets the eye? I decided to get another half-hour of sleep before I had to wake up and start helping mom with work for today.

I woke up about 43 minutes later, still partially tired. I started to walk down the stairs and made my way into the living room. I sat down on the couch and picked up a book I had been reading. It was titled "Thoughts of an alicorn" and, of course the author was Luna. It made the book slightly tough to read due to the way she wrote. But, for the most part, I understood what she was trying to say. I knew I had time to kill before mother needed me downstairs to help run the store. So I decided to read a few pages while I waited.

Not even a page in I hear the main door open. Wow, someone came in this early? Wow, that's impressive. I went back to my book. A couple of paragraphs later, I heard the bell ring on the counter and saw mother walking down the hall. I waved to her as she descended down the stairs. As I stuck my nose back in the book, I heard her coming back up the stairs. Wow, that must have been the quickest customer ever! She walked into the living room.

"Silver" Mom tried to get my attention, "Someone is here to see you."

"Do I have to?" I respond, a bit agitated.

"Yes, now go see the visitor." She seemed a bit angry at my comment.

I placed the bookmark to save my page and place the book back on the table where I found it. As I got up, mom watched me till I was out the door to make sure I went to see the visitor. I kept my head down and carefully walked down the stairs. As I got to the counter, I kept my head low, making sure not to see who it was for the fact I genuinely did not care.

"Hello" I say, sorta annoyed, "how may I help you..."

"I would like to get your opinion on some silverware." The unknown visitor stated.

It was definitely a stallion because his voice was very deep. I guess he heard about my name and thought I could help him. A little insulting but it was my job.

"Right this way sir..." I said, making sure my head was down while we walked over to the encased silverware.

I wait while he presumably looks over the silverware to decide which one he will choose.

"I'll take this one." He says.

That voice. Could it be? Better make sure.

I look to the glass case, and to my surprise, no hooves or fingers pointing at anything. Then I look to my side to see a finger pointing towards me. I instantly smile as I see who is attached to that finger.

"Anon!" I squeaked. Damn... embarrassing

He was about to scratch me but I thought he could do better than that. I jumped up into his arms and wrapped him in a hug. He quickly returned the gesture. I LOVED hugs. They were the best feeling in the whole wide land of Equestria. As he put me down, I was still smiling like and idiot from his embrace.

"Hey Silver." He said, returning the smile.

"What brings you to the store?" I give him my signature puzzled look.

He explained that he wanted to do something with me. I got instantly excited because it was fun hanging out with him and Diamond last time, I'm sure it would be great this time to! I asked him if Diamond was going to be joining us like last time but he said he just wanted it to be us this time. It was confusing at first but my guess was he wanted to get to know me better. So, I agreed and ran up to grab some things from my room. I grabbed some bits, my glasses cleaner, the book and the spoon. I grabbed the spoon because it was very special to me and I didn't want it to just sit there.

I descended the stairs once again and I walked out the door. I only took about 7 steps before I turned and saw Anon standing in the doorway, smiling like an idiot. I called out to him and we went off. I'm honestly surprised he wants to spend time with me! I mean, doesn't he think I'm a wimp? Maybe there is more to this then I thought. I shook it off as we approached our first destination.

We had arrived at the Ponyville Cafe. Anon pulled out a chair for me as I sat down and he sat straight across from me. The waited came to take our orders. Since I already had breakfast and Anon really wasn't that hungry, we both ordered some tea. As they prepared it, Anon asked me a lot about myself. I answered every question he asked me in full detail because its not often someone wants to spend time with you then proceeds to learn more about you. As the waiter came back with our beverages, we took our time to enjoy them. Between sips, he continued to ask me questions. The bill came and before I could raise a hoof to pay my half, he had already placed the bits. There was enough there to pay for me and him plus the tip. He smiled at me warmly and I returned the same smile. As we started walking again, I started to wonder why he is being so kind to me!

Our next destination was the park. I loved this place so much. But since I need an adult to watch me so I don't get hurt, I can't come here all that often. I quickly ran over to the swings and started playing. Anon just sat there and watched me. It was so nice of him to bring me here. As I was swinging, I noticed something in the distance. It was Applejack and Apple Bloom. Uh oh... Apple Bloom is probably mad at me! I saw Applejack let her sister play in the park as she herself went to go sit with Anon. Bloom slowly approached me.

"Please don't hurt me" I said, scared, "I'm sorry!"

"For what?" Apple Bloom questions.

Huh? She is talking to me normally. I can't believe it. This could be my chance to make peace with her.

"Listen... Apple Bloom..." I start, "I'm sorry for everything me and Diamond ever did to the CMC. We honestly don't like what we do... It's just our parents are always busy and we are usually alone and-"

"Shhh" Apple Bloom said, "It's alright, ah forgive ya!"

She forgives me! Sweet Celestia she forgives me. I wrap her into a hug and thank her about 30 times. After the hug broke, we started playing together on the swings. After a good couple of minutes, we hopped off and saw Applejack and Anon looking at us. We waved towards them and they returned the gesture. It was then my stomach started to growl. It was around lunch time and I was hungry.

Anon must be a mind reader because as soon as the growl started, Applejack invited us to have lunch over in Sweet Apple Acres. I nodded and we headed over to the orchard.

We had a nice lunch on the farm. Mind you it consisted of apples and apple juice but they grew the best apples anyone has ever tasted. After lunch, me and anon asked if they needed any help on the farm. The nodded to themselves then to us. We headed out to the North field where Applejack, Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh showed us how to buck apples. I went over to a tree, bashed it with my back legs and the apples fell... and the tree almost split in half. I looked around to dropped jaws and I giggled a bit. I had a few anger issues.

It was now Anon's turn. He got on his hands and knees and bucked the tree as hard as he could. The tree shook and down fell... one apple. We were all on the ground laughing as hard as we could. I heard him growl at the tree as he climbed it and started picking apples faster than pinkie could run! I was impressed!

After a evening of work, play and more work, it was time for us to head back to the store for the night. We waved the Apple family off as we started off. We were half way to Ponyville with no incidents yet. Until I felt Anon push me as he got struck by lightning. I gasped and saw rainbow had shocked him. I saw Anon get up and chuck an apple at Rainbow Dash, knocking her off the cloud. We started off to Ponyville once more.

When we arrived, he opened the door for me. Mom was waiting at the counter and I went to go hug her. Before I could thank Anon, he was gone.

"How was today sweetheart?" Mom asked

"It was amazing mom" I said, happier than ever, "I had so much fun!"

"I'm glad to hear" she said, "Now why don't you go read your book while I close up for the night?"

"Alright." I nodded and went upstairs.

I can't believe Anon did all those things for me today. I mean, I hardly know him yet he is acting like a great friend. Maybe I should surprise him...

I'll think about that later! Right now, I just want to read.
