Logic can't describe emotions.

AN: Sorry for not writing many fanfic in some time, but I just hadn't had the desire to do so. Luckily, I feel like writing one right now, so please enjoy.

Music to get in the mood

The afternoon had fallen, night was coming to shine above us. Luna would watch us in just a moment, but for now, it was both Celestia and Luna's beauty that shone across the land.

Standing at the coast, I took in the breeze that the ocean gave me. It was salty, yet full of freshness you also could feel in the open fields, that glinstered at dawn. Little drops of dew would give it the energy I loved about it. An earth pony feel those things better than other types of ponies I guess.

As I kept looking, the sunset turned everything around me into a beam of brightness. I smiled, hearing the grass behind me, whispering their tunes of nature. Some may think I'm being weird here and it's true, I am weird. But aren't we all a little bit? That's what makes everypony special, am I right?

I wasn't alone, though. With me was a purple unicorn, the element of magic. I met her during my visit at the library, searching for a certain dramatic book I heard about. Lady luck was with me that day, as I found the book between the hooves of this mare. She told me about it, but I quickly made her stop telling me. After a little laugh we had about the little 'Ooh, sorry for telling you half of the plot' problem, we began talking and after that became good friends.

Now we were staring at the ocean and the sunset. Not a single word was spoken and sometimes, that's how it should be. Words never hit me, but a view could bring me to tears. Except music that is, music is pure gold. I never learned how to play it, but if I could, I would give up on my original cutie mark and ask both the princesses for a new one. Sure, being a painter is something beautiful, but sometimes we all want to follow a little dream we had as a filly.

The more the sun sank down, the more beautiful the world became. I looked at Twilight, seeing her look at the ocean. I was a little confused when I didn't saw amazement in her eyes. It looked more like a thinking expression. I didn't wanna break the silence, but I was rather curious about what she was thinking.

"Twilight, is something wrong?" I asked her.
She looked up in suprise. "N-no, I was just thinking about how Princess Celestia and Princess Luna can work in such harmony now."
"I mean, why couldn't they do so when they were younger?" she continued.
"I don't know," I replied. "Ponies change when certain things happen in life. And I guess the day you turned Luna back to her usual self gave her and Celestia the power to forgive eachother."
It was quiet for a moment. Nothing could be heard, beside the brushing from the wind on the grass and the waves of the ocean, calmly splashing against the shore. I gave Twilight a little nod to tell her that we should take a little walk. She nodded back and quickly joined me as I walked forwards.

The sand was tender on our hooves, making little squeeky noises as we walked. A little giggle escaped my mouth, luckily not loud enough for Twilight to hear. The smell of the ocean became stronger the more we walked. It was calming me more and more. Looking at Twilight, she still had a thinking expression. I began to wonder if she ever took the time to take in such scenery from time to time.

"Twilight, I wonder about something," I began.
"Mmm, yes, what's bothering you?" she asked me, sounding a little worried.
"Have you ever.. stopped thinking for a moment?".
Twilight gave me a confused look, than looked at the ocean.
"Well, ever since I was little I have always been studying magic and friendship. And I began to do that even more after I became Princess Celestia's student."
I looked at her and then looked at the ocean like she did.
"I see. But have you ever let go of your thoughts and just look at things?" I asked her.
She shook her head.

Now the sun was as gorgeous as can be. The ocean shone the colours of the now half way finished sunset. The yellow, orange and red streaks made it look like a waterpainting. I wished I brought my painttools with me, but it quickly faded as a I looked at Twilight.

"Sometimes all we can do is let life show us how beautiful it can be. Sometimes you just gotta let go of your emotions, even if you can't control them. Feeling a smile appearing on your face, feeling the tears drip down on your cheeks and even becoming empty with any thoughts, replacing them with emotions. Logic can't describe that, Twilight, and I hope you see that. And even if you don't, I'm sure you will if you'll come here with me more often." I said.

Twilight looked at me, than looked at the ocean, the sun and the colours. She took a deep sniff of the ocean breeze and whimpered a little. Her eyes became moist and without warning, her snickering could be heard and little trails of tears streamed from her eyes. I quickly wrapped a hoof around her neck and whispered that it was okay.

After a little while of snickering and small cries, she let go of me and gave me a little smile. I gave her a smile back and faced the ocean again. Now everything felt perfect, the scenery, the music of nature, the flow of the wind and let's not forget a pony to share it all with.

A little tear dripped down my cheek. Sometimes life can be cruel, but as long as I could stare into the beauty of it, I will live on with something in my heart.

And if anyone can hear me speak this, please don't forget this...
