"Goal! I am so good at this game!” Comet says out loud as he scores a goal.

“You are good, kid.” DemiDash says, “But not better than me! No one is ever better than the best!”

“You can keep talking with that big ego of yours, but I am way better than you,” Comet says.

“Yeah yeah. Maybe you are more than what you seem to be. I’ll catch you later kid, see ya.” DemiDash says flying away into the clouds.

Comet kicks the soccer ball into the net and sighs. He thinks to himself. He is very lonely and wants a friend he can play with. DemiDash can only do so much considering she has a job and a marefriend. He walks back inside the bakery.

"Hey, Comet! Is somepony a little doooooownnnn?" DemiPie says immediately dashing up to him.

"Yeah... I had just realized how lonely I am... I don't have anypony to play with at all!" Comet says sad.

"What about Wilted Bloom?" DemiPie suggests.

"Wilted Bloom? Who's that? I have never heard of them."

"Wilted Bloom is DemiRarity's child! I think. He has recently moved here! I can not believe you haven't heard of him! He is a very interesting colt! I think you two would be the greatest friends! Do you want him to come?" DemiPie says with the biggest smile.

"Well- I don-" Comet says before he is cut off by DemiPie running off at an abnormal speed.

"What in the hay?" Comet says before DemiPie immediately comes back with Wilted Bloom on her back.

"Hoowee! I cannot believe DemiRarity didn't see me take her child like that! She really needs some glasses! I am surprised she hasn't been robbed yet considering how slow she is! Am I right? Hahah!" DemiPie says.

"Where the hay? How did I even get here?' Wilted says confused.

DemiPie drops Wilted off her back.

"You my friend are here to meet your new best friend! Insert trumpet sounds! Comet! Oooo! You two are going to be the bestest friends" DemiPie says excitedly.

"Woah! A new friend?! I am Wilted Bloom! What is your name?!" Wilted says.

"Oh! I am Comet! It is nice to meet you, Wilted Bloom!"

"Wilted! Just call me Wilted."

"Okay, Wilted! It is nice to meet you! Do you want to be friends?! I have never had another friend! I have always wondered how it would be to have a friend my age! I mean... The only other friends I have are DemiDash and Jasper! But you seem awesome! Am I saying too much?! Am I not supposed to say too much?! Sorry! Am I suppo-"

Wilted immediately cuts him off by putting a hoof on his mouth.

"Calm down! It's alright! I perfectly understand! It can be exciting to meet new friends! Of course, we can be friends! You seem awesome as well!" Wilted says smiling.

"YES!! I am so excited to get to know you more! OOO! Let's tell each other about ourselves! I'll start! Okay... my name is Comet! I am into sports! I love Soccer! I have an older sister named DemiPie! I still am not able to fly but I have gotten close to it! I am the coolest pony around here! The most awesome Pegasus to be known! Am I overexaggerating?! I am not right?! Am I?! Oh, Sunrise I am so sorry! It's just- Oooo gosh! Sorry sorry sorry!" Comet says trying to calm himself down from how exciting it is to him to finally having a friend his age he can talk to.

"It's okay! Okay. I am Wilted Bloom. I am the son of DemiRarity! Ooo! Then there's Jasper! He's cool too! I love reading! Not as much as DemiTwi. I love being curious because it's how we learn the most about stuff!" Wilted says.

"I was never into reading much. I find it a bit boring for my speed! Guess you can say I am a bit too cool! Too awesome for books!" Comet says

"You sure? Hehe. Alright, whatever you say!" Wilted chuckles

"Hey! What is that supposed to mean?!" Comet says

"Oh, nothing. I am just wondering... how did you reach the bookshelf to find out if you were more awesome than books huh?" Wilted jokes.

"Hey! I am average pony size! It is not my fault I got my sister's height!"

"Hahah! I am just joking! No need to get all cranky Comet! It's okay to be a small bean! We already have DemiSpike in the group!'' Wilted laughs.

"Whatever... hey! Do you want to play a game of tag?! I love tag! Tag you're it! Haha!" Comet says running out of the bakery.

Wilted stands there not expecting Comet to have come up with the idea of playing tag. Wilted shrugs and runs after Comet. He looks for where has run off and sees him. Wilted immediately runs after him. Wilted seems to catch up in no time.

"I'm gonna getcha! Seems like the most awesome pegasus is a really slow pegasus too!" Wilted yells out.

"Hey! I.. I am just going easy on you!" Comet says trying to cover up the fact he is not that fast.

Wilted catches Comet. Both are panting. Comet laughs a bit despite him losing the game. Wilted looks at him and smiles.

"Hehe. What was that about going easy?" Wilted says.

"Oh, shut up... I'm just... exercising my lungs. I just go easy on new friends! Or do I? Wait. Was that a lie? Do I go easy on new friends? Do I really? Huh. I don't know! I never had a new friend my age... or have I? No, I don't! Do I? Oh gosh, I don't-"

"Hey hey, Comet! Easy buddy! Easy! It's fine! I know you are just trying to come up with an excuse anyways! It's obvious! You aren't a good liar."

"Whatever.." Comet says

"It's okay though! To me, you are still the most awesome pegasus! Hey. Let's go back! I have way more fun activities we can do!" Wilted says

The two walk back to the bakery. Comet finally has a new friend. Or rather best friend
