Twilight's POV
Hi! My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am the Princess of Friendship! *sigh..* I look up and down the bookshelves for a very specific book. My uh.. um... *tries not to cry* 1st assistant, Spike, is dead and I'm all alone. I scan the shelves but cannot find it. I sigh and get down. I decide to ask Pinkie Pie to help. Pinkie Pie was baking a cake in my kitchen. I had to go get her. Alone...
I trot down the halls, thinking glumly. I needed a companion. A partner? Like a coltfriend? No. I shook my head. I was getting carried away. I had to stay focused. As I entered the kitchen, I looked up and gasped. Pinkie Pie was making a mess!!! "Pinkie!" I yelled.
Pinkie stopped. "Yes, Twilight?" she asked, fluttering her eyelashes.
I sigh and trot forward to pick up a bag of flour with my magic. I turn to Pinkie. "You have to be more careful," I explain. "So please stop wrecking my kitchen?"
Pinkie nodded. "I'll clean up right away!" she said enthusiastically.
I thank her and leave the kitchen. As I walk away smiling, I hear a Crash! I groaned and kept walking. I decide to take a walk in the Ponyville Public Garden to clear my thoughts. I walk out of my castle and take a deep breath. "Blue sky, blue sky, in!" I whisper. "Gray sky, gray sky, out!" I smile. My sister-in-law, Princess Cadence, had taught me that method. And it worked. Not always, but often.
I enter the gardens and walk on through. On my right there was growing Dragon-Sneeze trees. I laugh quietly. Spike would be sneezing like crazy if he was with me right now. Spike.....the accident....
I suppose I was not sad when he died. In a accident. But it's not my fault! Sort of.... yeah.... It's pretty much my fault. I began to cry a bit so I go sit down. I think and think. Spike had been killed by a what? I don't know. The death had been so sudden. I just don't know.... I get up and continue walking.
I think about Spike's death. Had it been a murder? The doctor hadn't told me, but I'm pretty sure that something as sudden as a murder had to have had occurred. The doctor had been whispering and pointing with some of the nurses. I can't be entirely sure though. I walk on. This time I decide to stop thinking about murder, and more about whether or not I should get uh... coltfriend? Ugh. I'm not much for romance. Except in books. I love books. You probably know that though.
I look up and my face breaks into the grin. My crush, Comet Tail, was strolling down the gardens. I hurry over to him. Eager to strike up a conversation.
"Hi! I'm Twi-" I begin.
"-Light Sparkle," he finishes for me.
"How do you know that?" I gasp.
He looked funny at me. "Your a princess. Everypony knows you." and he trots on.
I hurry after him. "Wait! Uh... wanna walk with me?" I ask.
He gave me another look. "Well, sure." I gave him my flashy smile and go further in the garden. I glance behind my shoulder. He was following. I slowed down and wait for him. "So, uh... why are you here?" I ask. I was going to do anything to talk with this guy. Literally anything.
"Think," he replied promptly.
"Really? Me too!" I look anxiously at his face. He was sweating. I wonder if I make him uncomfortable? I look up at him and smile the best I can. He looks at me uncomfortably and gulps. I do make him uncomfortable! But... why? I glance at my wings and horn and realize it. I was a princess. He was nervous around royalty!
I sigh and said, "You can go."
His face floods with relief which breaks my heart. "Thank you princess!" He leans down and kisses my hoof. I pull away. He leans in and kisses me on the cheek. I feel my face grow hot. He trots off, leaving me alone and lonely.
I sit and cry. Long and hard. I was crying for what seemed like forever when I heard a flutter of wings. I looked up. My best friend, Flash Sentry was coming toward me.
Flash's POV
I fly through the sky happily. I was scanning the world below when I caught sight of a mare crying. I stooped lower and saw who it was. It was Princess Twilight. My huge crush. I flew to the ground. There she was, beautiful and smart. She stared at me like I was some sort of stranger. "Hey," I said, wrapping my wings around her.
She looked up at me with those gorgeous deep purple eyes. "Hi, Flash," she whispered in a soft voice.
I could feel sympathy for her. "What's wrong?" I asked gently, holding her close.
She seemed a little touchy. "Nothing," she replied, and pushed me away.
Twilight's POV
Flash is trying to get close to me. I can feel it. That's why I pushed him. He seemed hurt when I did it. Not mad or frustrated. Not what I expected at all. Though I felt I needed sympathy so I hurriedly explained, "I have a crush on this stallion and I know he doesn't like me but I can't help feeling we were meant to be and now I-I," I couldn't say anymore. I burst into tears.
Flash wrapped his wing around me comfortingly. 'It's ok," he said.
I looked at his face and saw it was stiff. It was usually happy. But why did it look like THAT?

Twilight's POV
I am visiting the Crystal Empire this week with my PFFs (Pony Friends Forever) to see My sister-in-law Princess Cadance and my big brother, Shining Armor. I am excited to see them both. A few days before we left I was cleaning the kitchen for the hundredth time when Rainbow Dash entered. "Hey Rainbow," I greeted her.
"Hey Twi," she replied. She was glancing around. I sigh. "Whats wrong?"
"Nothing!" she hurriedly says.
"Come on Rainbow. I know that look. I invented that look. Whats wrong?"
"Comet Tail is here," she replies. At the sound of his name my heart flutters. I give her a look and walk out of the kitchen. And there he was. That marvelous unicorn stallion I loved so much.
Comet Tail's POV
There she was.... the princess. She has a crush on me. That gives me an advantage. If I marry her, I'll become a prince! But Flash... He's my only rival on this one. "Hi Princess," I say, bowing.
She blushes. "Hi Comet. What brings you here?"
I slyly say, "To see your lovely face."
Twilight's POV
Omigosh! Comet likes me! I just found love!
