Strawberry Lemonade Meets the Love of his Life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter ONE!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Embarrassing Introductions

      to the love of his life

"Have a nice day!" said Strawberry Lemonade, as one of his most common customers, a dragon-colt hybrid named "Short Circuit" walked off with a nice cool glass of the towns most popular  drink. Sitting down with a loud sigh, Lemonade started to count his earnings for the day. "Two, four, six, eight..." When all of a sudden, a gust of wind almost blew all the money away, forcing him to have to do a recount. He looked up in annoyance, and spotted the culprit, a light-pink pegasus whom he'd never seen before. She had a sun with an overlaying lightning-bolt as a cutie mark, he wasn't sure what it meant, but that was the last thing on his mind at the moment, because he found her surprisingly cute. When she had landed and walked up, Lemonade decided to initiate conversation.

"Afternoon miss, and welcome to my humble lemonade booth!" Said Lemonade

"Hello, I'd like one lemonade please, I heard your lemonade is the best in all of Ponyville. By the way, my name's Sunstorm, whats yours?" She responded.

"Coming right up!" said lemonade, who was happy to have yet another customer. "I'm Strawberry Lemonade... Y'know, I haven't seen you around town before, are you new to Ponyville?"

"That's right! I just recently moved here. Came from Fillydelphia, but... I didn't like the big city, so I came here!"

"Oh wow... Fillydelphia? That's quite the distance..." He said, a little shocked from how far away Sunstorm had moved from home. "Did you move here by yourself?"

"Yeah! All on my own. Moved away from my parents. Wanted a bit more freedom in the skies."

"Oh my! That's mighty impressive!" Lemonade responded, more than just 'a little' shocked.

Sunstorm giggled. The sound was comparable to the sweetness of his lemonade, and he relished in it, albeit the embarrassment when he realized that he was the reason she giggled.

"Whats so funny?" He asked, cheeks slowly heating up and turning bright red.

She giggled harder. Lemonade lowered his head in a bout of comedic shame

"Seriously" he said, with a bowed head. "Whats so funny..."

She stopped giggling once he lowered his head and said "Oh don't worry, I just thought it was funny when you were so surprised that I moved on my own. And even more so when you started blushing because I was giggling at you. It was kinda cute, actually!"

His now normal yellow cheeks instantly flared up again once he heard her call him cute. He diddn't know whether she was trying to embarrass him, hit on him, or that's just how she was. All the same, he thought that he wouldn't mind so much if she became a normal customer...

"So... Lemonade?" she asked.

That's right! The lemonade! He had forgotten completely! "Sorry" he muttered and started preparing it for her in an instant "Coming right up!" In a flash, he had gotten out a glass and poured her some of the Strawberry Lemonade that everypony in Ponyville loved. She swiped it up and drank it all down faster than you could say 'delicious'

"That was delicious!" Sunstorm said with a loud sigh.

For some reason, when she said that Lemonade got really, REALLY happy. He was happy because she liked it. This cheery, funny, and just a little bit stunning Pegasus liked his lemonade. Not just ANY-PONIES lemonade, his.

He had no idea why that made him so happy, but it, sure as the cutie-mark on his flank, did.

After a little bit of smalltalk, Lemonade found out that Sunstorm is actually a Clydesdale, which explains how she could move everything on her own, and explains why she made such a large gust when landing. She has no mother, just a father, who wanted her to be an actress, when in actuality, she's a gear head. She loves tinkering, and is currently working on robotic wings for the wingless who want wings, but its not going anywhere yet. Eventually, she flew off, saying she'd come back for more of his delicious lemonade. He felt rather dark inside, like she lit him up like the sun. He liked the feeling she gave him. He couldn't wait to see her again.
