Dear Diary,

I’m sorry I haven’t written in you in a little bit. Life has just been so eventful lately. The girls and I got asked to help decorate for a brunch that THE Princess Celestia will be the guest of honor at! Not to mention it’s only the second week of summer and so many different flora are in bloom. We’ve been absolutely overwhelmed with orders.

But enough about my job, I vent to you about that basically every week.

I met somepony!

Well, not somepony, somehuman. Or whatever. He’s a human, and his name is Clyde! I met him a couple days ago while we were out selling flowers in the town square. He’s really nice, and we spent some time together at my favorite cafe. It turns out he also knows Flitter. Apparently he helped her when she had some sort of accident. She called him her “hero”.

I don’t know why, but I felt a bit jealous when she said that. Or maybe envious. I’m pretty sure I have a crush on him. I ended up asking him to go to the brunch with me on a whim. I’m such a big dummy. But you know what’s crazy?

He said yes!!!!

Lily and Daisy would have an absolute field day if they heard me say this, but even though he’s not a pony he’s kinda cute, in a weird way. But… is that normal? To see him that way? I mean, one of the biggest things Princess Twilight has taught us is that it’s okay to be friends with creatures other than ponies.

Does that extend to romantic relationships, though? I know a lot of ponies frown on interspecies relationships. Yeah, it’s easy to say I don’t care what other ponies think, but it’s pretty obvious most ponies are lying when they say that. Myself included. Society has a way of making ponies act a certain way out of fear of being ostracized.

But does that mean I shouldn’t at least give this a chance and see where it leads? It’s nopony else’s business who I’m interested in. Besides, plenty of ponies attend social gatherings with their close friends. It doesn’t have to be romantic!

… I want it to be, though.

At least, deep down. I just met him obviously. But just from the few interactions we’ve had, I can tell he’s one of the sweetest, kindest, most down to earth… humans, in Equestria. Well, he’s the only human in Equestria, but you know what I mean!

Anyways, Lily and Daisy are tartarusbent on getting us together. They seem to think it’s love at first sight and that the feelings are totally mutual.

How could they be, though?

He’s told ponies stories about where he comes from. That they have their own equines. They can’t talk, though, and they’re apparently “not as cute” as we are. They’re just pets and working animals. How could someone from a world like that possibly ever see me as anything other than an… animal. That’s what worries me more than anything. It’s one thing for me to think he’s cute. We don’t have humans here. But how could he EVER think I’m cute?

Hay, if he finds out I like him, he’ll probably think I’m a freak and will never want to talk to me again! The horror, the horror!

Oh gosh… I like him…

That’s all for today, diary. I think I just made myself a bit sad…

Author's Note

I'm gonna be doing these every few chapters. I figured it could be a cute way to get a peek into how Roseluck is feeling about things in her own way. It will also tie into the story at a later date.

Love y'all
