Mobians and Equestria Girls Shorts

A Nice Evening Out

NOTE: This short is not cannon to the M&EG Series

In the midst of Sapphire City, people were walking in and out of stores and buildings. Coming out of a clothes and fabric store, two teens walked out.

One was a seventeen year old boy. He had short hair striped red and black. His eyes were the color of the day sky. He wore a black jacket over a white t-shirt, blue jeans with holes in the knees, and a pair of black and red sneakers. This young boy’s name was Aric.

The other was a seventeen year old girl. Her curly purple hair reached down to the middle of her back, supported by a blue hair band. She had golden yellow eyes. Her attire of choice was a white shirt with a purple skirt, a pair of purple boots with gems along the sides, and a pair of sunglasses. The young girl was named Lily.

“Ah another set for my spring clothes line all set,” Lily said, smiling.

“Great. Can we go back to your house so I can put these down now?” Aric asked, holding five bags in each of his hands.

Lily looked back at the boy and giggled. “I supposed we can, darling.”

The two walked through the city, Lily every now and then stopping to admire the beauty of the city sights.

“Aric, look,” Lily said pointing somewhere.

“Huh? What am I looking at?” Aric turned his head to where Lily was pointing.

Lily was pointing at a fountain with a large sapphire on the top. It was the city’s monument and center piece. It was also the place where Aric and Lily first met.

“Remember this is where you and I first met?” Lily said.

Aric smirked a bit, “Yeah. Although it could have gone better.”

Flashback One Year

Aric was walking down the streets, blasting music through his headphones. As he walked, he saw the city monument fountain. Walking over to it, he looked down in the fountain, seeing a lot of coins in it. People say the sapphire on the fountain brings good luck and grants wishes.

Even though he didn’t believe in luck, Aric pulled out a coin. I wish I had a friend, he thought to himself. He flicked the coin into the fountain. “I know it was a waste. Who’d be friends with me?” He said turning away from the fountain.

As Aric turned, he accidentally bumped into someone and began falling backwards. “Whoa!” he shouted, grabbing the nearest thing to him. It happened to be the person he’d bumped into.

“Ah!” A female voice squealed.

SPLASH!

Aric could tell he was soaked from head to bottom, because he felt cold everywhere. He looked up and saw the person he pulled in by accident was laying on top of him. It was a young teen girl.

Her purple hair was now soaked and drenched, as were her clothes. Her golden yellow eyes stared at Aric.

“Uh,” Aric mumbled.

The girl suddenly glared at him and her cheeks puffed up in anger. “How dare you pull a lady down like that!”

“Excuse me? I’m sorry, but who was it that bumped into me?” Aric asked.

“You, sir, bumped into me,” the girl said. “And now you’ve ruined my outfit! Not to mention the expensive fabrics I just bought!” She pointed at a couple bags floating in the water.

“Mommy? What are those two people doing in the fountain?” a little boy said pointing at the two teens.

“Nevermind them honey. The couple wasn’t paying attention to where they were going,” a woman said pulling the little boy with her. “They were probably paying too much attention to each other.”

Aric and the girl’s faces instantly lit up light tomatoes.

The girl quickly got off Aric and got out of the fountain, dripping with water. She picked up her bags and looked in them. her face turning saddened with a frown, “Uhg. Ruined. Absolutely ruined.”

As Aric got out of the fountain, he looked at the girl, and he felt bad for accidentally pulling her into the water. “Where did you get your fabrics from?”

“What does it matter to you?” the girl asked.

“Will you just tell me?” Aric said with an annoyed look.

“Sapphire City Fabrics and Clothes store,” the girl said.

“Fine. Let’s go,” Aric said walking past the girl.

“Go? Go where?” she asked.

“I’m replacing your fabrics,” Aric said. “I’m the reason they got ruined after all.”

“Wait… You’re going to replace my fabrics?” the girl asked, running up next to Aric. “Since when did anyone in this city become so generous?”

“There aren’t many of us, but there are the few.” Aric said.

The two teens continued walking to the store, staying quiet. By the time they got to the store, their clothes had dried.

“Alright. Go get your fabrics, and I’ll pay for them,” Aric said.

The girl hesitated. “I don't know if this is right. I don't think you should be paying for my fabrics. I am technically the reason you pulled me down in the first place. Had I paid attention ,we wouldn't be in this situation.”

“It’s alright. I’m ok with it,” Aric said, smiling. He pat the girl on her shoulder.

“Ok… If you say so. Thank you… uh I never got your name,” she said.

“Oh, right. My name’s Aric,” he said holding out his hand to shake.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Aric, my name’s Lily.” The girl said shaking Aric’s hand.

“A pretty name, fitting for a pretty girl.” Aric said smiling.

Lily’s face burned red a little.

“Alright, go get those fabrics. I’ll wait up front,” Aric said.

After about five minutes later, the two teens finish up with their shopping.

“Thank you very much for shopping, Miss Lily,” the cashier said, waving to Lily and Aric.

Lily smiled and waved as the two left the store. “Thank you for helping me, Aric.”

“Any time, Lily,.” Aric said handing Lily her fabrics.

“I really should be heading home now,” Lily said looking at the giant clock, reading 5:30 pm.

“You need any more help with anything?” Aric asked.

“No, I should be good. Besides, you’ve done plenty enough for me, dear,” Lily said smiling.

“Ok then. Have a nice rest of your day.” Aric said.

“You as well.” Lily said.

As Lily was walking down the streets, she suddenly felt something wet hit her head. “Huh?” She held out her hand and felt more water. “Oh, no, no, no; not rain.” She looked in her bag for her umbrella, but she couldn’t find it. “Oh no. I must've left it at home.”

The rain began to come down in larger amounts.

“Oh no. My fabrics will be ruined again,” Lily said, feeling the rain as it began coming down. But then it suddenly stopped. “Huh?”

She saw the rain was still coming down, but she wasn’t getting wet.

“Can’t let those fabrics get wet again,” a familiar voice said.

Lily looked next to her and saw Aric hold an umbrella above her. “Aric…”

“No need to thank me. Just helping a friend out,” Aric said, smiling.

Lily’s face turned red as she smiled.

“Which way to your house?” Aric asked.

Lily pointed and the two walked in the direction. As they walked, Lily grabbed Aric’s hand.

Aric looked down at her hand, then back at her. She smiled at him. And he smiled back.

End of Flashback

“That was one of the best days of my life,” Lily said, looking at Aric.

“Mine, too,” Aric said, smiling at Lily.

The two teens nuzzled their noses together, then proceeded to walk to Lily’s house.
