//-------------------------------------------------------// Crushing Blues -by Short-Stories-Pony- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Fun Times //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note So, here is the first chapter of Crushing Blues. Even too, it looks like the couple is enjoying themselves. Viewers are advised as this contains romance, kissing, dating and even delicious hamburgers. Everything belongs to Hasbro Romeo and Juliet belongs to Shakespere Fun Times My POV: I was running late to school as it was pouring cats and dogs, I was wearing my best heavy duty coat, so I wouldn't get soaked by the rain. My bag was soaked as I thankfully didn't have library books but I guess thankfully hardcover books, so they wouldn't get soak. I finally made it as I ran inside, I began to catch my breath as I saw Rarity, who wasn't soaked and wet. She went to me and asked... "How darling! Your all soaked! And even your bag! Are you alright?" Ever since I became friends with the mane seven, it was great and I feel like I'm accepted. Even too, I wasn't new here but I knew Rarity had the best clothes. Even too, Zephyr and I have been together... well for a while. His sister too is nice and I can't believe it too that she told me that he used to be... a failure phobia type of guy. Zephyr told me about his past experience from his Elementry, he was too flirting with Rainbow Dash ever since then too. It was a bit nerve-racking to find out, but I guess I'm I bit cool with that? No sure. Zephyr would too take me out on cheap dates since he knew I was a non-fancy person and liked hamburgers. The sweet guy would too give me flowers or cheer me up when I'm upset. Ever since too, he hasn't been bothering and flirting with Rainbow Dash ever since I came to the spotlight, but hey! At least she has to take a break from him. But let's get to the actual story. Rarity took me to the bathroom as she put me on the countertop near the sinks, she put her bag on the counter too and began to bring out bathroom essentials and clothing. She hummed as she began to brush my hair with a purple and silver hairbrush. She continues hummed as I sat there. Rarity knew she was doing but it took like... well an hour! Later on, I was dry as I was wearing a nice yet beautiful t-shirt which had the colour of a neon yellow, a pair of jeans which was a dark blue, a pair of white flats and even for accessories, a cross necklace, a pair of right side up, golden cross earrings and lastly my nails were painted a soft yet nice pink which looked like Fluttershy's colour. My hair was in a simple ponytail with a small bow at the back, the bow was a decent white as it had a small pearl in the middle, I smiled as Rarity said... "Darling! You! Look! Fabulous!" She yelled yet squealed happily as she hugged me. I continue to smile as I hugged her back, we stopped as she looked at her phone. It as around 8:39. She gasped and said... "Oh darling, your gonna be late for class! But, before you go, I'll replace this old bag with a nice dry one." "Hey, um Rares, not to burst your bubbles. But it's okay, you don't have to go through this." "No, no darling! You need to have a nice dry bag. Like seriously, having a wet bag is the worst." I did have to agree, having wet bags or clothes were bad enough. Even too, you could get sick from that. Later on, my bag was replaced with a nice white one. It had a cute cross as my zipper and had a small bible in one of the pockets too, thanks Rarity. I got to Woodchop as I saw Zephyr breeze working on a chair, it was good for an adult or teen to sit on and most every student was busy. I got my equipment like my goggles, strong working gloves which were black and white and a pair of anti soundproof headphones which blocks your ears from the saw or other tools going through wood. I settled my bag beside Zephyr's and got out my project. It a small shoe rack, it had gorgeous designs like straight lines with small hears beside it or at the bottom, it had about two racks that were meant for big or small shoes. Only about three pairs of shoes can be added onto it, I smiled as I cracked my knuckles and fingers, I began to sand my shelf... or rack as the colour of the sandpaper was a dark brown and it felt prickly or tuff as you touched it with your bare hands. I felt a kiss on my cheek, blush appeared as my brown eyes went low, I turned my head to see Zephyr, smiling and said... "Hello, m'lady." "Oh, hey Zeph." I said as I saw him stop his tool. He settled it down and he began to hug me as I felt more blush on my face. Well, you may ask? Why does he do that? Well, he loves me and I love him of course, and tonight I forgot to tell you, is our fun night. No, not that smexy fun, no! A fun time with romance, dining, bowling (Hopefully) and even a night to see the stars. I realized too that Zephyr loved stargazing, and thanks to Twilight, she taught him the different planets, stars or even the constellations. I found that awesome but I knew he wasn't a science wiz boy. We continued to hug as the students, thankfully they weren't uncomfortable or even grossed out. Zephyr said... "So, are you ready for tonight?" "Well? I don't know, but what is it?" I asked playfully and romantically, I knew what it was and I was pretending to know. Every time I did this, Zephyr would get playful or pock me as it caused me too to pock at him. Zephyr elbowed me and said as he smiled... "Come on Laur girl, you already know." "Well, let. Me. Think." I said as I pocked his nose and continued to ask... "Does it involve... bowling?" "Yes." "Does it involve informal dining and hamburgers?" "Eeyup." I giggled as I began to think of Applejack's brother doing that. For some reason, I wish he spoke instead of saying "Eeyup" all the time. Anywho, I continued and said... "Stargazing? Or even imagining the constellations?" He touched my chin and made me look up into his beautiful, yet pinkish eyes. My brown eyes grew as I blushed yet gave him a cute smile as my teeth showed, he said... "Yes, M'lady. You're correct." I gave me a peck on the lips, I blushed as I kissed back as I put my arms around his neck. It was romantic, but however, I guess some students saw, some "Aww" or some were immature on gagging or "Ew" if you know what I mean. We stopped as we cuddled against each other. As we weren't looking, a heard someone go "Ahem", it appeared to sound like a man. Me and Zephyr's eyes shut open till we saw our teacher, Mr.Cranky Doodle. He grumbled as he said... "You two, back to work!" He huffed as he went away to see the other students, me and Zeph looked at each other and laughed a bit to dust off the situation. Later on, it was lunch has every student was in their spots as they began to speak about certain stuff of what they like, eating their foods or somewhere out of the school. But for me, it was different as I was walking to the cafe where Zephyr promised me to meet. First off, let me tell you how it started, I was in my English class as Mrs.Cheerlie was teaching us the classic tale of "Ramono And Jewels". I was listening as my silent phone went off. I jumped a bit as I looked around case the teacher or my classmates weren't looking, I took out my phone as slowly set off my lightings low. I looked at my texts messages and saw it was... Zephyr Breeze. A blush came across my face as I smiled, I think he wanted something. So I slowly and quietly as possible texted him, and this is how it began. ~Text Messages~ "Heya, Laur girl." "Oh, hey Zeph. How is my babe doing? 😘" "Well fine, M'lady. 😍" "So, why did you text me?" "Just wanna know if your gonna go out? You know, to the cafe with me? πŸ˜™" "Oh, I'd love to. Luckily too, I got some money with me. Isn't ten dollars enough?" "Don't worry, it is. Besides, I got money with me too. So that means you don't have to buy me anything. 😊" "Okay, hun. 🌹Here is a rose for your gratitude." "Aww, thank you, babe. 😚 But meet me at the Cafe, okay?" "Mmhm. " "Okay, see ya. πŸ˜„ I love you! πŸ’–" "Love you too and bye, my Zephyr. ✝ πŸ’˜" ~Story~ I smiled as I put my phone away, I sighed as my heart was thumping and thumping like someone was banging on a drum. My face was flushed red from those sweet, sweet comments of love he gave me. I sighed once more till Mrs.Cheerlie said as she closed the book... "So, does anyone have any questions about the book?" Mostly everyone was silent, she smiled as she put the book down and began to give each student the same book, but a bit smaller. Little that I knew, there was an assignment gonna go on and she said... "Our assignment is going to be due in two weeks. And since our class isn't done until 10:55, you can start with your assignment. First off, I'll print out the sheets quick and give them to you." Then yeah, that was it... I guess. Anyway, as I got to the cafe, I saw Zephyr waiting for me at the entrance, I saw him and smiled as I ran to him. He saw as he said... "Hey! Laur" "Zeph!" We hugged as our arms were holding onto each other's bodies, this embrace of a hug lasted for almost a minute. We let go and he asked... "So, ready to go in?" "Yeah, always ready." Zephyr's POV: Yes! Finally, I'm with my girl... the girl I've been with ever since. It's kind of hard to believe this but people would be like "Zephyr, you're with a girl?" or "I can't believe you have a girlfriend!". Yeah, I get it but people just don't understand that guys too can be lonely... even if we're immature. And too, I couldn't wait for our date tonight, as I got a lot of plans. I could take her to that new burger shop. I saw the ratings and it's a surprisingly a five-star restaurant, even if I heard from Flutter Butter the place where Sparkle Pie works are competing against them. So, that's a bummer. As we got inside, I went to the counter as Laur girl sat on a chair which was all oak. I went there as I saw Mrs.Cake working, she was brewing some coffee as I smelled nothing but sweet baking. I saw her turn around and said... "Oh, hi. What can I get you?" "Eh, just a coffee and a sandwich. Oh, and for someone..." I whispered something to her as her pupils went low, she looked at me as she nodded. I saw Laur girl as she was on her phone, I couldn't wait for the surprise I was giving my girl, it was ready five minutes later as she gave me the coffee which had sugar and milk, the donut which too had blue frosting with white star bits on it and even the special surprise which was... a supreme cheeseburger special! The burger you think as just patty and cheese, heck no! It was triple decker with jack pepper cheese on the bottom of each hamburger! The sauce has the flavours of onions, peppers and even it was a white colour to it. I heard that the fries were made out of golden potatoes and even too the ketchup they give to it is amazing! And the drink... well... was just a simple coke with a simple two large drops of vanilla flavoured droppings! However, though, this cost eleven dollars and thankfully I had twenty. I gave her exactly eleven dollars which now left me nine dollars. I took the stuff as I saw across Laur girl, I put the food down, as I gave her the combo. Her eyes went low as she smiled and said... "Zephyr! H-H..." "How did I get it? Simple, I just bought it. Didn't want you to waste your money." She smiled as she grabbed her combo, she began to eat as I just smiled... she was just too adorable. She looked at me as she passed me some fries, her eyes twinkled in the light as she asked... "Wants some?" "Eh, no. It's yours." "Okay, but do I need to pay you back? How much was it?" "I'm since I paid the coffee for two dollars, plus the donut for a dollar. So, perhaps... eight dollars She spurted out her drink as her pupils went low, she looked shocked as the spilt drink was all over the table. Luckily my donut and coffee weren't soaked, I gasped a bit as I grabbed a lot of napkins. I began to wipe off the table as she said... "You spent eight dollars on the combo! Zephyr, you know I ate expensive stuff." "I'm sorry but I thought you were happy about it so... yeah." Laura sighed as she said... "It's alright Zeph, sorry if I... got beserk their." "You didn't." I kissed her cheek as she calmed a bit. She said and said... "Well, I guess eight dollars isn't expensive. But, I think for tonight's date I should buy you dinner in return." "No." She looked at me as I sat back down, she munched on her fry as she asked... "Are you sure?" "Mhm." "Zephyr..." She sighed yet I saw a smile appear on her face. She looked at me and said... "Thank you." ~7:23 at the evening time~ I was in my room as I was putting on a new pair of jeans my parents gave me, it was actually long yet it had a nice black colour to it. Even too, I wore a nice tank top which was a nice white and since it was cold tonight, I decided to wear my black leather jacket. You might be wondering where I got it from... well... since my sister doesn't wear anything "Emo", she gave it to me. I sighed as my hair was messed up, it was long up to my butt and this took me ages to grow... especially for a guy. I was ready later on as I got my wallet and put it in my jean pocket, I rushed downstairs as I saw my sister talking to my mom. I gulped as I forgot to tell her, crap! Do I tell her I'm leaving? Or no? I think I should, I went to my mom as I began... "Hey, um mom." "Oh, hey dear." Usually, my mom is nice to me, seriously though she is just amazing. However, since I am moi, I heard they couldn't speak up against me for doing things that were stupid, argumental or even on purpose. But my dad, he is nice to me too, I just wish me and him were just a bit closer. Anyway, I cleared my throat as I said... "So um, not to make you worry. But I'm gonna go on a date with Laur girl again and I won't be back till midnight." My mom looked at me with a bit of smile, her warm smile was always a bit of chill in my heart. So, she said... "Sure sweetie, just be careful." "Alright ma, eh." I said as I kissed her forehead and lastly gave my big Ol' sis a noogie. She yelped a bit as I stopped, her long beautiful pink hair was now a mess. I heard her grumbled as she began to put her hair back into place, I went out the door as I began to walk to Laur's house. It took me about ten minutes to get to her house, I saw the usual... stars, the moon, the cool breeze on my face... ha, Breeze, cause my last name i... anyway! It wasn't warm all the way, but it was still nice. As I got there, I saw her rose bush as I picked out one flower. The rose had a nice red to it, the smell of it smelled sweet yet wild. The thorns I felt were a bit prickly like my whiskers on my beard, but it was worth it. I went up to her porch and pressed the doorbell as I heard it rang. I stood there and waited as I hummed. The door open as I saw Laur girl... she looked... beautiful. She wore a pair of black jeans, a long sleeve shirt which was a dark blue, she wore a pair of running shoes as it was all white, including the lases. Her hair as in a ponytail as it had a small clip which was a simple black with a sparkled right-side small cross on it. She wore nothing on her face but a sparkle of lipgloss on her lips and even some mascara. For her purse, it was just a simple black bag which was long enough for her to hold it on her shoulder. I blushed as my eyes widen, I went on one knee as I began to be dramatic and said... "M'lady, will you accept this rose. And from the gratitude and romance, I shall provide in our relationship to be strong an..." She grabbed the rose as she kissed my lips, I'm sure it was to shut me up. I kissed back as she stopped, she smelled the rose as she gently to the part of the rose off and put it in her hair, she helped me back up as she said... "Zephyr. Stop. You don't have to be dramatic after giving me a rose from my garden." I gasped a bit and my face flushed of red. That was embarrassing. She laughed as she closed and locked the door, she grabbed my hand as she ran with me saying... "Come on Zeph! Let's party tonight!" First off, we went bowling and since it had the burger place, this was where we usually went. The place was called "Killer-Bowling". You might think it's a gangster place or something that's unpleasant, but it wasn't. The place was big as it had about forty-one lanes, the bowling balls had different colours like pink, dark blue, aqua-marine, beige, and other colours. My favourite lane is usually lucky sixteen because I usually win while I make Laur girl lose. Ha, ha, not trying to be mean but I love seeing her angry and letting go of her anger. Since I had my wallet, I paid for the bowling and Laur girl paid for the hamburgers. It would take up fifteen minutes for everything to be ready and in the meantime, we began to put on our bowling shoes, usually, Laura was a size nine and for me a size ten, wow my feet have grown. Anyway, the machine who was controlling our scores and our names of who goes first or second was upon the t.v. Just to be funny, I put Laur's name to Spaghetti girl while my name was Z dude. I'm sure it wasn't funny anyway but for me it was. Laura was first as got a blue bowling ball, she sighed as she rolled her ball down the aisle. It rolled and rolled fast as the ball hit only three pins down. She smiled as she clapped her hands, she was still next as she grabbed another bowling ball which was the colour of a galaxy. The colours were purple, black and even a light blue, even too some marks of white paint was on there as it imaged them as stars. She rolled the ball once more as she only got the two pins down, she jumped cutely as she said... "Oh yeah! HA! Take that Z man, cause I'm gonna win!" Since I was confident, I said... "Oh please Laur girl, you can't be me cause your just a plain ol' scrub." I saw my girl smile in a competitive way and said as she nudged me... "Okay Blue Crush, bring it!" "It. Is. On!" Minutes late went by as I and Laura battled to the finish. Twenty minutes went by and it was time... to see the winners, I was sweating as I sat down. Laura got the burgers as she settled them on the table, she even too had the scores for the bowling we did. She said as she sat beside me... "The results are in, now let's see who won." My eyes grew and a smile came across my face, we looked and it was me! I won! Laura gasped and said... "Eh?!" "Ha! See Laur girl, I told ya I'd win." "Oh brother, well... I tried." I saw her smile as I kissed her cheek, I said... "Don't be a sour puss Laur's. You should be happy I won." "Zephyr, stop. You're being overconfident." "Well, be happy I am. Oh, you brought the food!" I said as I let go of her, she nodded and so, we ate. Later on, we were in a beautiful grass field as we lied down on the grass. We laughed as we were talking about funny stories like that one time, where I screamed so loud because there was a fake spider on the ground. Or that one time, Laura was covered in black pen due to her sleeping in class, man I couldn't stop laughing. Tears of laughter were in my girl's eyes, our laughter died down as she was gasping for air, tears continue to somewhat fall. I wiped her tears away as I pulled her close to me. I saw her blushed as our bodies were pressing against each other, we cuddled as Laur girl sniffed as she kissed under my neck. A blush appeared on my face as I kissed her head, we looked up into the sky as we saw the stars. They twinkled, as they were all in the sky, I sighed and said... "So, which one are you gonna make?" "Well, I don't know. Perhaps... Leo The Lion?" "Oh, I never did that one babe. Ha, let me do it." I began to connect the stars slowly. Laura cuddled as she felt tired, it was around ten o'clock as she looked on her phone. She shrugged as she put her phone in her pocket, she continued to cuddle as I finally did it. I squinted my eyes as I imaged Leo The Lion, it was beautiful as I heard from Laura... "I think that's awesome. You know, your actually smart when it comes to this... but for me..." I saw her frown as she said... "I wish I was smart and... well different for Christ. Because I feel like I'm not really smart enough... I wish I knew why." I frowned as I sighed. I kissed her forehead as I said... "Well, you may be not smart. But in my opinion, you're always smart in my eyes." Blush yet small tears formed in her eyes, she hugged me and said... "Thanks, Zeph, even if I don't have parents or siblings of that matter, at least I got you... like a husband. You know?" A blush appeared on my face. A husband? Wow, never thought of that. I said... "Okay then, if I'm your husband..." I picked her up as she yelped, I swung her on top of me as I said... "Then you're my beautiful wife." She snorted with laughter a bit as she said... "Okay then Mr.Husband of mine, where will you take me next." "Well, what about my house. I could eat popcorn, drink soda." "But Zeph, we just ate like three or two hours ago. Are you sure, like I don't want you... overdoing it for me." "Nah, I'll be fine. But first..." A huge amount of blush appeared on her face, I knew she didn't like being the top but I had to give her a try. She looked at me as our eyes connected, we kissed as the stars continued to twinkle, yet again a shooting star went by. I saw it as I yelled... "Laur's! A shooting star, make a wish!" "Um... no thanks. I'll skip, but you do it." I closed my eyes and thought in my head for my wish. I just wished I was on some adventure, I sighed as I opened my eyes, Laura smiled and said... "So? Tell me your fortune." I laughed a bit as I facepalmed, I said... "Well, I wish you know... I was on an adventure. You know, fighting evil, seeing new people. You get the rest." "Yep, I understand. I guess it too kind of sucks if your sister can go on adventures while you don't." I sighed as I felt a bit of guilt about that wish, but truly I wish I can go on an adventure. Later that night, I took her to my house as it was almost around midnight. I knocked on the door as it appeared to be Flutter Butter, she was in her pyjamas as her hair was messy. She yawned and said... "Zephyr, why are you home la... oh, hey Laura." She waved as she explained... "Sorry to bother you, but is it okay if I could stay over?" "Oh, um... okay Laura. Come in and too, can I talk to my brother please?" "Oh, sure." I saw her go inside as my sis took me outside, she closed the door and said... "Zephyr Breeze?! How come your inviting Laura here, you know how mom and dad hate surprises of people coming." "I'm sorry flutter butter, but I had to. Plus, I promised her for something to eat or drink." "I know you're trying to be respectful, but don't you remember last time when you invited Snips and Snails over?" My pupils went low as I mumbled... "Oops." She sighed as she facepalmed in frustration a bit, she said as she continued... "Well, since she is my friend too and your girlfriend. She can stay, but just please... don't make a mess or don't make to much noise." A smile grew on my face as I said... "Don't worry Flutter butter and thanks!" I gave her a tight hug which caused her to yelp. I think too, I kind of overdid it as she said with a breathless voice... "Y-your welcome...." Later on, my sis went back to bed as me and Laur's watched some t.v, ate popcorn, drank some soda and even too I had a bit of a headache from my sister's nagging. But she was right, but I knew and hoped... our relationship will last. "To Be Continued"
