Author's Note

I was going to take a very long break to write a book but I've decided to finish the current fan fics then write the book as I need to figure out more on the fifth Coltland Chronicles story. I've got the story planned out, I just need to get the next characters sorted. Anyway, enjoy!

Love is Blooming

Love is Blooming

"Oh no, role call!" Silver Star yelled in panic and she looked around really fast. "I didn't study that trick they told me to do! They expect me to do it today! Oh no!" Gold Star put her foreleg around her sister and tried to calm her down but it didn't help. "I was so busy, thinking of a way to escape and I totally forgot!"

"They're almost here, hurry!" a filly squealed and she galloped past them.

Cookie and Topaz galloped together to their spots in line and they looked around. All the other foals then did the same and Gold Star levitated Silver Star to her spot as the latter was too shaken to move any of her hooves. They all stood still with Silver Star's legs shaking but even when Golden Heart and Gold Star tried to stop it, it never seemed to work.

The gate squeaked and opened, one of the foalnappers walked by while the rest stood at the gate. Silver Star whimpered and her head was shaking from side to side, little by little. Golden Heart and Gold Star looked at her with worry. The foalnapper continued to walk and the scared filly looked down at their hooves to see if they would stop in front of her and possibly send her to 'The Room'.

The hooves stopped in front of her and she gulped then slowly looked up at them with teary and wide violet eyes. They levitated her off the ground and inspected her. Gold Star stared at her with fear and anger on her face as she saw them levitate her twin sister off the ground. One of the foalnappers then carried a treadmill and set it beside her. They set her down and put the speed up to really fast. The filly's eyes widened then she cantered to keep up with the speed and then she fell over on the ground onto her back.

"Alright, that seemed to work. From now on, you brats will be doing this after you do your jobs. Even if you fall, you still keep going or there will be consequences." one of foalnappers explained and Silver Star galloped back to Gold Star and they gave each other a hug. They then left the foals, standing there with confusion and fright.

"Now we have to do exercise?" a colt said in disgust and annoyance then he crossed his forelegs.

"That equals a million times the work that we need to do!"

All the foals started to yell and panic at the same time until Golden Heart gave a loud high pitched whistle and everypony put their hooves over their ears.

"Don't worry, we have help from some friends and we'll be free in a few days or so." Golden Heart whispered and she looked to the building a few times to make sure none of the foalnappers were eavesdropping.

"But when will that be?"

"I want to go home to my family!"

An earth pony colt and pegasus filly then started to wrestle each other until Cookie and Topaz broke them up and told them to calm down.

"Are we really going to get some help, Golden Heart?" Candy and Floss asked and they looked at her with big pink eyes. "Because we want to get home soon and make lots of sweets for our family and their friends."

"And I want to make lots of cookies for everypony." Cookie responded then she had a small smile on her face.

"I want to make some more necklaces and bracelets." Topaz responded and did the same smile as Cookie's. He then looked at her from the corner of his eye and she did the same and she blushed.

"We already think that our grandmother is immortal since she is an alicorn." Silver Star responded with excitement and some violet coloured magic shot out of her horn.

"She would be unless somepony kills her. That is what would happen to the queen since she is an alicorn as well." Gold Star said and she scruffed her sister's mane.

"And I want to go home so I spread some goodness to ponies that need it. I'll even donate some bits to a charity to help out." Golden Heart said with a grin and she shot some of her magic into the sky and some fireworks happened.

The foals all "ooohed" and "aaahed" then clopped their hooves together.

That night after some hard work and very frustrating exercising on treadmills and weights, Cookie woke up to some tapping on the window and she sighed with exhaustion and walked over to it. She lifted the window open with her magic to see Topaz standing there.

"What are you doing outside? You should be in bed." Cookie whispered with fear and frustration in her voice.

"Can you please come outside, I want to talk to you?" Topaz responded with a whisper then she gave a deep sigh.

"Alright, but I hope it isn't going to be one of those late April Fools jokes that you are most likely to do."

Cookie levitated herself out the window, which was what her mum used to do a lot everytime she had to get down from the treehouse. She was about to land onto the ground when she then fell onto Topaz. She got off him and helped him up. After brushing themselves off, they trotted to the back of the other room that the others all slept.

"What was it that you wanted to talk about?"

"Cookie, I really like you and I always have ever since we were in diapers," Topaz responded with nervousness in his voice and he took a shaky breath. "Oh, this is so awkward and we're like eleven years old." He then sighed quietly.

"What is it?" Cookie asked with a tilt of her head and her bright green eyes looked confused.

"I... I... I..." Topaz said then he mumbled something that she couldn't understand.

"What?"

"I... I... I..."

"Will you speak up? I can't hear you."

Topaz then sighed a little louder.

"I love you, Cookie."

Cookie then felt like her heart was racing so fast as if she had just run a one hundred metre race. He actually loved her? She did suspect it because of the way he looked at her so much everytime the primary school had art going on.

"I... I... I... love you too, Topaz. I always will." Cookie responded with a breathless voice and without thinking, she tackled him to the ground and gave him a kiss.
