The Individual

Twilight was eating at a diner with her friends as they had all decided to go out somewhere together, they were all eating lunch since they didn't have any at home. Twilight and her friends were talking to eachother while they ate but after a awhile Twilight ceased talking and just ate quietly and stared off into the direction in front of her as she saw somebody. Her friends took notice after a few moments.

"Are you alright darling? You were all fine a moment ago and now it's like your suddenly quiet." Rarity said, Twilight told them her excuse as quickly as she could so that they didn't get suspicious.

"It's fine I'm just focused on eating." Twilight lied as she was really focused on looking at this woman that was sitting across from them at another table. Her friends didn't see who she was looking at though as they weren't looking in that direction.

Twilight continued to stare at the woman across for them transfixed on her for some reason. She didn't think that she was gay but she still couldn't look away from her, she was lucky that her friends didn't notice what she was doing as they would question her about it and think she was weird.

Twilight continued to look over the woman who was eating by herself while she ate. She wasn't sure if she was attracted to her in anyway but she was certainly aware that the person's beauty caught her attention. She wanted to know this woman's name and age and personality.

"Twilight what are you looking at?" Pinkie Pie asked with a cheery voice as a Pinkie alive had noticed that Twilight was looking at something. She sighed with frustration to herself she should have known that Pinkie Pie was more smart than she appeared to be at sometimes as she could see that something was off and tell how a person was feeling.

"Nothing! I'm not looking at anything!" Twilight said quickly as she resumed to eat her food but Pinkie Pie continued to guess about it and it annoyed Twilight.

"Where you playing I spy!? I love I spy! Can I play!?" Pinkie asked. Twilight slapped her head in frustration.

"Pinkie! I wasn't playing a game I was just observing stuff now eat!" Twilight said with a groan. Pinkie Pie frowned and continued to eat as they resumed their conversations.

"Don't bother Twilight Pinkie Pie she probably has a lot on her mind. She doesnt need to be involved in a conversation everyday with us." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes Pinkie Pie just continued to eat." Applejack said.

"Unless she doesn't um...want to eat...which is fine to..." Fluttershy said quietly.

Twilight sighed and just finished eating while they all talked. After dinner they all left after all them refusing desert except for Pinkie Pie who stayed to order desert. As her friends walked out the woman she had seen was already walking out as well.

Twilight told her friends to go on with out her and they told her that was okay and they told her that they would see her later and they went off without Twilight. Twilight went to go up to see the woman. When she went up to the lady to introduce herself the woman spoke before she could begin.

"I saw you staring at me earlier. Your not trying to stalk me are you? If you are then that's really creepy, But if you weren't then that's okay." The woman stated. Twilight shook her head no as she didn't think she was trying to. The woman nodded.

"Who are you exactly? I've never seen you around before and you definitely aren't my neighbor so your either live nearby or you are from another city." The woman stated as she examined Twilight to try and figure out if she had seen Twilight before.

"My name is Twilight. I'm from Canterlot originally and then I moved to the lower town of Ponyville, so if you have never seen me around then I understand that." Twilight said. The woman looked her over with caution.

"I'm from Manehattan until I moved here and now I've made this place my home as I didn't like the way citizens in Manehattan conducted themselves it certainly isn't as clean as I thought it would be. Here it's much cleaner. That's not the reason why I moved here thought. My name is Elise at least that's what my parents told me...the reason why I ask if you were stalking me is because I was told to always be cautious around other individuals as nobody is nice anymore." Elise explained.

"Maybe it's because you are around the wrong people. Me and my friends are nice so if you want to hang out with us you can!" Twilight said cheerfully. Twilight stared at Elise and that unnerved Elise for a bit.

"Sorry but I don't do hanging out. I'm a loner, I'm someone not committed to projects or anything. I don't do....friendships. I'm not saying that to be mean to you I'm just saying that I'm not worth anyone's time so don't ask me questions or think to hang out with me because we aren't going to hang out. Goodby Twilight." Elise said as she turned around and left.

Twilight watched her leave with a confused expression in her face, she wondered why she didn't need friends as everybody she knew liked friends, she tried to figure Elise out but couldn't think of anything she decided to go home as she didn't want to worry herself over that girl.

Twilight got home and once she got home her mind drifted to thoughts of Elise once again. She wondered if she would ever see her again but she doubted that as Elise said that she moved from place to place daily. She wondered why Elise had acted like that. Twilight went about her day as she continued to think about Elise and wondered about Elise's life.
