TumblerXAzure
First Date
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTime began to fly by as I trotted around town. Arriving at the town hall, I saw Azure was waiting for me. She trotted over to me and gave me a friendly hug,
“Hi Tumbler.” Azure said.
She than noticed that my left wing was bandaged, and was starting to worry,
“It’s fine.” I said, trying to calm her down.
Both of us trotted down to a nearby restaurant, it wasn’t exactly fancy, but with the prices that high, I could say it was. We both took a seat outside and looked around. The schoolhouse was nearby and we could see all the little fillies playing around. A waiter appeared with a notepad trailing behind him,
“May I take your order?” he asked.
Azure thought momentarily and started to ask the waiter some questions, giving me enough time to think of something to eat.
“-so I guess that I will have some hay for now.” Azure finished.
The waiter soon turned towards me,
“And you?” he asked to me.
I froze for a moment, then quickly made up my mind,
“I’ll have a dandelion-daisy sandwich.” I said.
The waiter simply nodded his head and left us alone. I couldn’t think of any way to start up a conversation, I was mainly silent, barely even touching the appetizers that were laid out in front of us. Azure soon broke the silence,
“So Tumbler how’s life here in Ponyville?” she asked.
I thought momentarily,
“Well, I’ve only been here for a few months, living in a cloud house nearby, and everything’s great here.” I answered.
Azure nodded her head; the both of us started to talk about many things, from Pinkie Pie’s abnormal behavior to simple, daily things in our lifestyle. I told her about my occupation in the weather patrol, also about my hobby on working on mechanical contraptions, and she replied back to me about her job working abroad. She used to travel a lot but after managing a stable income, she decided to settle down in Ponyville for the time being. Our food soon arrived and the both of us started to eat. We remained quiet afterwards, but after soon finishing up our meals, the two of us started to walk together throughout town.
“Hey Tumbler, follow me.” Azure said.
I didn’t have any time to reply, she simply ran off, taking brief looks back to make sure I’m still close by. Going into the outer regions of town, I realized where we were. Azure stood on top of a nearby hill, watching the setting sun. I soon joined her and the two of us were together, watching the orange beacon of light slowly drift down. Turning my head towards her, I looked into her beautiful eyes. She stared back at mine, and we were both locked in a sort of trance. I didn’t know what to do; I was just as frozen as she was. My brain didn’t know what to do, but I guess my heart took direct control. I leaned my neck forward, slowly rotating to my right, and kissed her. At first, she started to resist, but she relaxed and soon opened up to me. I don’t know how long the moment lasted, but we soon broke apart and resumed our gaze at the setting sun. Azure started to sit next to me, and she was starting to lean against me. Putting my hoof around her shoulder, I relaxed. The two of us, together, I wished the moment had lasted longer. We both fell asleep in each other’s arms, everything was seemingly perfect.

I woke up, the sudden chill of the night wakening me from my slumber. Azure was still next to me, and the moon was giving its pale glow throughout the darkened land. I woke Azure up and her eyes soon opened up, her light blue eyes seemingly sparkling in the moonlight. We both trotted back into town, nopony was outside, and everything was closed and empty. Approaching a small house, Azure gave me a hug and a short kiss on the cheek, and said goodbye to me. I was trotting on my own when I recounted the many events of today. Suddenly, the thought came to me, how was I supposed to get home? My wing was still in pain, being slightly dulled by the medicine I had received earlier. I didn’t want to show indecency and to wake somepony up. I tried to take off into flight, but my left wing was becoming unresponsive and I soon face planted into the ground painfully. My left wing now started to flutter uncontrollably, giving me a sharp pain, constantly increasing in intensity over time. I frantically tried to pull out the medicine, but after dumping out the contents of my saddlebag, the container rolled out of view. I started to gallop towards the hospital, leaving my belongings behind.
