Chapter 7. Starlight and a Simple Day

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was evening in Ponyville when Passion Note was seen running through the town square, using his magic to levitate a telescope and carrying a bag on his back instead of his usual vest. That was until he collided face-first with Starlight Glimmer.

He was sent backward and onto the ground while his magic failed and his telescope fell to the ground with him. "Ow, that hurt."He said once the shock from the collision wore off. He shook his head to make sure nothing was broken and looked up to see Starlight offering her hoof. He took it and she helped him get back on his hooves.

"Why were you running so fast? I almost thought you were Rainbow Dash. ...Ok, no I didn't. But still."She asked. She helped recollect some of the papers that spilled out of his bag. He took them and placed them back into the bag.

"I found out from Twilight that there is a rare meteor shower happening on the outskirts of Ponyville tonight and I wanted to document some of them for a uh... project. That's um...coming up."He said trying oh so hard to keep it secret. But it was to no avail as Starlight figured it out almost immediately.

"You want to document the meteor shower for your family, so when they come to visit, you can give it as a gift. And if I have to guess a particular family member, it's for your father, considering how you told Twilight his Cutie Mark IS a meteor shower."She said just as she finished picking up the papers. Passion looked defeated and gave a slight nod before placing the papers in the bag.

"You are good."He said as he closed it up and activated his levitation to once again pick up his telescope. He started walking and Starlight decided to follow. "You're not going to believe what happened yesterday. Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle came by my home and I had to recall when I first sang here in town. Then afterward, Sweetie noticed I don't have a Cutie Mark. And she gave me a look too, not sure I liked it."He told her.

"I can imagine she was excited to have another client for the CMC."Starlight replied. She stopped for a second before continuing her walking. "Oh right, you haven't actually met them while they were on business."She said after realizing it. He shook his head no and she smiled. "Probably for the best, I heard their idea for a camp got a little chaotic thanks to Rumble."She said before removing a branch out of the way.

Once they arrived at the outskirts, they noticed that other ponies had gathered for the meteor shower. "Awesome, now to get my equipment ready for documentation."Passion said before digging through his supplies. "Heh, does this make you remember when we first met?"He asked Starlight. She gave a nod and began to think back to the day.

It was the day after Passion had sung with the Pony-Tones and Starlight had been running a few errands for Twilight. She was on her way back to the castle when she bumped into something. This something was, of course, Passion Note. "Sorry."He apologized before looking away from his paper.

"It's fine. Wasn't looking where I was going."She said. She then looked at him again. "I don't believe we've met before. I'm Starlight Glimmer. Twilight's student."She said offering a hoof. He looked at it and then at her before smiling. He shook her hoof and put away his paper.

"Passion Note, just moved here. About... five days ago, I want to say."He said as he introduced himself. He looked at her more closely. "Wait, Aren't you the pony who.."He started before being cut off.

"Brainwashed an entire village to give up their cutie marks. Then traveled in time to try to get revenge on Twilight only to become her student? Yes. But I've moved on."She said almost on instinct. He raised a brow and smiled.

"I was going to say made that awesome kite which was on display that I saw at the market earlier."He said correcting her. She laughed in embarrassment and he chuckled. "It's fine, we all have bad days. But I'm more interested in the time you saved Twilight and all of Equestria from Queen Chrysalis."He said before pulling out a piece of paper and a quill.

"Well you shouldn't be. But I will tell you about the time I helped a pony with a magic act invovling a manticore that swallowed said pony."She replied. His jaw opened and he began nodding. She offered her hoof again and he accepted it. Then the two started walking as she began to tell the story.

The two stopped by the castle so Starlight could drop off her errands and then the two went all over Ponyville. First, they stopped by the cafe. "Then Coda came out of her room being chased by Parasprites with my mother chasing after her with the net. And, My father through all of this is..."Passion said in the middle of a story. Starlight was visibly trying to hold back laughter.

Then they went to the market where they looked at music boxes. "Reminds me of the time that Sunburst and I tried hiding in a Nightmare Night wagon and got trapped inside a haunted house. Looking back, it was all really fake."She said before pointing at some fireworks. Passion laughed as if he could see it in his mind. "Oh, that reminds me."She started. "The time that I tried to use magic to cook a..."She continued before stopping. "Oh nevermind."She said.

Next, they went to a furniture store where Passion laid on a couch and Starlight held up a mirror for him to look at. "Who am I darling?"He asked before letting out a huge laugh which caught the attention of the salespony. Starlight laughed a little before leaving an apology note and the two ran out.

Finally, the two went to Zecora's hut for a bit of fun at potion making. "I forgot what I was supposed to add to this mixture."Starlight said quietly so Zecora wouldn't hear. Passion shrugged and Starlight added in the first thing she found which caused a huge pink bubble to sprout from the cauldron.

"I do not know what you have done. But my advice to the both of you is to run."Zecora stated with a worried look. The two frowned as the zebra tried to fix it and they decided to help. Starlight grabbed a huge jar while Passion fetched a big bowl.

Once they were eventually done, the two left her hut and walked through the Everfree Forest. "Wow, that was fun."Passion said before letting out a yawn. He didn't hear a reply, so he looked back and saw it was getting late. He smiled and she smiled back. The two began racing each other to get out of the forest. Eventually, a winner was crowned and it was Starlight.

"I haven't had a day like that in so long. Well, except for the ones with Trixie. "Starlight said trying to catch her breath. Passion looked at his watch and realized what time it was. She looked at the watch too and gasped. "I better get back to Twilight, almost forgot I have another lesson with her."She said.

"Ok, have fun."He said waving. She waved back and ran off. Starlight was brought back to the present by Passion's poking of his hoof. "The meteor shower is starting."He said pointing up. She looked up before helping him get out some water.

He started looking through his telescope while simultaneously writing on his paper. "You had a busy week that first one, huh?"She asked. He looked at her, gave a quick nod and smiled before going back to his telescope. "So did I."She stated.

"And there was still two days left."He replied as he then started drawing some pictures of the meteor shower. Starlight watched on and wondered exactly what happened.
