The Story Of Scoscvisc

Hmmm…

Scoscvisc thought about what he would say to the father of his fillyfriend.

"We met before my graduation, where I would be receiving some awards for my efforts in the academy."

"May I ask, what were the awards?" Leif asked, curious.

"I had won awards in Swordsmanship, Tactics, and the record for the fastest lap around Canterlot Castle without the use of wings or magic." Scoscvisc replied.

"Oh, did you play any sports?"

"I didn't play any sanctioned team sports, but I was able to make some wings out of magic and play Skyball."

"Making wings out of magic? How did you manage that?"

"Well, I just simply made physical wings, and used my magic to flap them; it is a LOT harder than it sounds."

"Why?"

"Because on top of having to make wings that can support you, you have to make the wings flap in unison or you will be thrown off balance and crash."

"I also have another question, what is Skyball?"

"Skyball is a game where there are 2 teams that consist of 11 players each who try to get a single ball into the other team's net, which is about 16 hooves tall and 23 hooves wide. Contact is rarely allowed, and the only players allowed to touch the ball with their forelegs are the goalies, there is a single goalie per team. All this takes place in the sky."

"Oh, so I could play a game of Skyball then." Leif said touching his chin, thinking about what the game would be like.

Scoscvisc realized that Leif was a Pegasus, "how did I not notice!" he mentally scolded himself.

Scoscvisc decided to ask Leif a question, "how did you and Rose meet?"

Leif smiled and began to explain "well, it was back when we were young, still in grade school actually, she was standing next to her sister. She looked lonely, so I decided to go and make friends with her. We quickly became close friends and became inseparable. We did everything together; we even got our Cutie Marks together. I still remember it as though it was yesterday.

Begin Flashback

"We were about 15 years old. We were both just lying in a field near the outskirts of a little town called Ponyville, our home town, when I saw a tulip near a tree. I had an idea to take that tulip back to her house and plant it out front of her house. She said that that was a great idea and that we should find a tulip for my house too, we did and on the way to her house I decided that that was the day that I was finally going to ask her out. To be honest I had realized that I had loved her about a year before that, but never had to courage to ask her out. So we got to her house and we planted her tulip, to be honest I was going to ask her out there but I chickened out."

"We were going to my house when I told myself "it's going to be now or never" we got there and planted the tulip. She was about to come home when I told her to wait. She stopped and turned around. I then confessed my feelings for her. I turned around to go back inside, crushed, when I heard hoofsteps. I turned around and was immediately tackled. She told me that she loved me too, and kissed me."

"When I was walking her home, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I looked and, to my surprise, Rose had a Cutie Mark. Funnily enough, it was a Rose. I told her and she got excited, she noticed that I had one. I looked and it was a leaf with a dew drop about to fall off the tip. That was the day that we truly fell in love with each other and the day that we decided that if we were to have foals, and if one was a filly, we would name her 'Tulipe'"

End Flashback

"Wow, that's a great story Mr. Flowerhoof." Scoscvisc said feeling happy for the middle-aged couple sitting with him.

"Please, just call me Leif."
