Life on two sides
chapter 3: A good read
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI'd found a good book and had been reading it for an hour or two when Twilight walked in.
I said "hi", getting her attention.
"Oh, hi. found a good book yet?"
"Yep"
"Which one?"
"Equestria 101"
"Good choice. I bet that the show doesn't really tell you much about equestria in whole, am I right?"
"Yeah, but I've only gotten to the 3rd chapter"
"Well trust me, the information gets more and more usefull as you read through it"
"Thanks for the heads up, I really needed some motivation to keep reading"
"Well then, I'll just be going now"
before she left she picked up a book
"See ya"
"bye"
And at that she left the room, leaving me alone to read the book
(an hour later)
I'd read through to chapter 7 and had started to get a bit bored, so I found a bookmark, put it in the book, and decided to come back to it later.
I went to the living room and sat down, I looked around and saw twilight reading the book she picked up before
"hey twilight"
"hi"
I looked at the book she was reading before saying
"you read that one before?"
She seemed a bit surprised, but she hid it well, saying "I've only ever got half way through. everytime I've tried to read it there was some disaster or a special event"
"seems pretty unlucky"
"yep, but now I finally have some peace and quiet"
"well, have fun with that book, I'll just be getting some food"
after that I got up and went to the kitchen to get more apples
(another hour later)
After Twilight finished her book, we began talking for a bit about earth and humans,
Twilight also mentioned how she cast a portal spell linked to the human world.
She also mentioned how she had read that humans are like magic-less, bipedal ponies
After a bit I asked Twilight how her life has been
"well it's pretty good, considering I'm a Princess living in a giant castle with great friends and special rainbow powers"
"But other than that I haven't heard from my parents since I became a princess, and celestia stopped teaching me, so I don't talk to her much. "
"Wow"
"what? Haven't you been watching the TV show you told me about?"
"I have been, but I didn't know you weren't talking to your parents... Plus the fact that your life is way better than mine"
"speaking of your life."
"oh. Well my parents Call me every three hours to check if I'm OK. And I have too deal with the rent.
"call? So you have phones?"
"yep"
"so you talk to your parents often?"
"no, I just send them a message saying I'm OK "
"Message? Why not call them back?"
"Because... Well, I don't know."
"I mean If I called them, they would just talk and talk and talk."
"Well at least you message your parents. I don't talk to mine at all."
"Maybe you should visit them, since you have some free time now."
"What about you? I wouldn't want to leave you here alone"
"Why don't I come with you? I'd love to meet your parents face to face."
"Do you even know their names?"
"Twilight Velvet and Night Light"
"Ok, fine, you can come with me to meet my parents."
She quickly blushed a bit and added
"As a friend of course."
"Of course"
At that point I started to think:
'What will they think of me?'
'Will they think I'm a monster?'
'Will they think me and Twilight are in a relationship?!'
I chuckled at that last thought
'Well I'd hope to make that true... Later, much later'
Then I heard Twilight's voice, breaking me out of my trance of thought
"Hello, you ok?"
"Huh, wha, oh."
"Sorry, I was just thinking"
"You should get ready to go, if you're not packing then you can help me pack."
"Ok, what do you need help with?"
"Everything."
