The Ponyville observatory was a mess. Its lone resident, Comet tail. Had been searching for a book for one full hour now, and in the process making a large mess.
Comet tail was a Unicorn astrologist from Canterlot who moved to ponyville in order to get a better view of the stars and get away from the snobbish canterlot elite. He has been a resident for four months now.
"Where is it!?" Yelled Comet tail.
Comet tail looked around madly.
"Where is that copy of Ancient equestrian constellations!?"
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Yelled Comet tail.
The door opened and A caramel colored earth pony stepped in. He was Caramel, Comet's friend.
Caramel was a Manehatten born stallion who moved to ponyville and worked at sweet apple acres.
Caramel look around at the mess Comet tail had created.
"Did a tornado pass by?" Asked Caramel.
"No." Replied Comet tail. "Im looking for a book. I need it for my stargazing tonight."
"Have you thought about the library?" Asked Caramel.
Comet tail looked up from his search.
"Library?" Asked Comet tail.
Caramel raised an eyebrow.
"You lived here for four months and you never heard about the library?" Asked Caramel.
"Well most of those first two months was spent observing the stars." Replied Comet tail.
Caramel sighed.
"I can take you there after you clean up." Said Caramel.
Comet tail looked at the mess.
"This could take awhile."
After an hour of cleaning up the observatory, Caramel led Comet tail to the Ponyville library.
"Here we are." Said Caramel.
Caramel pointed his hoof at the ponyville library.
"Thanks." Said Comet tail.
"I have to go yo work." Said Caramel. "See ya later!"
Caramel took his leave, heading towards the direction of sweet apple acres.
"I really hope they have it." Muttered Comet tail.
Comet tail stepped into the library, the room he entered had no ponies in it.
"Hello?" Said Comet tail.
Comet tail noticed a large sheet of paper on a nearby table. Curious, Comet tail decided to check it out. It was a star map, several constellations were circled and labeled.
"Wow." Muttered Comet tail. "This is impressive."
"Can i help you?"
Comet tail turned around. Standing in the stairway was a purple unicorn mare. Comet froze up when he saw her.
"Shes beautiful." Thought Comet tail.
The unicorn walked towards Comet tail.
"My names Twilight Sparkle."
Comet tail pulled himself together.
"Comet tail."
"So can I help you with something?" Asked Twilight.
"Uh im looking for a copy of Ancient equestrian constellations." Said Comet tail, slightly nervous.
Twilight took a book off of a nearby shelf using magic.
"Here you go." Said Twilight. "Its a good astronomy book."
"T-thanks." Said Comet tail. "Have a nice day."
"Thanks." Said Twilight. "You two."
Comet tail took the book and walked out of the library.
"Shes...... Wonderful." Thought Comet tail.
Comet tail began to walk back to the observatory.
As time went on, Comet tail visited the library more and more. With each visit he began to admire the purple librarian more and more. Within a year, Comet tail had fallen completely in love with Twilight sparkle.
1 year later.......
Comet tail was sitting at a table in a pub called The Salt Lick with four other stallions.
The first was Caramel. The second was a blue earth pony named Noteworthy, a local songwriter. The third was a blue unicorn named Pokey Pierce. He was from canterlot, much like Comet tail was, however two unicorns never met eachother while they were in Canterlot. Lastly was a black pegasus named Thunderlane. Thunderlane was from Cloudsdale and he worked on the weather patrol.
"Lucky said hes going to Carrot top's for dinner." Said Caramel.
"Maybe you should go out on a date this weekend." Suggested Pokey.
Caramel took a quick sip of his club soda.
"Im not letting you guys pick out another blind date for me." Said Caramel, annoyed.
Last hearts and hooves day they talked caramel into going out on a blind date with a pegasus named Wind whistler. Caramel did not enjoy it.
"Maybe Applejack would be interested." Said Noteworthy in a smug tone.
Caramel blushed. Caramel had a huge crush on one of Sweet apple acre's owners, Applejack
"Why you gotta be like that to me?" Asked Caramel. "Why not Comet?"
Comet nearly choked on his cider.
"Im not sure what your talking about." Said Comet tail, nervously.
"Well you might want to ask her out soon Mel." Said Thunderlane. "Somepony might beat ya to it."
Caramel took another sip of his drink.
"Thunderlane is right ya know." Said Noteworthy. "Better get started before you loose her."
Caramel finished his drink.
"Fine." Said Caramel. "Ill go talk to her after i rest a bit at home."
Caramel got up and left.
"Hes going to fail." Said Thunderlane.
"Big time." Added Noteworthy.
"I think he has a chance." Said Comet tail.
Comet tail turned to look at Pokey.
"What about you?" Asked Comet tail. "You have any plans this weekend?"
Pokey took a sip of his beverage.
"Not really." Replied Pokey "I have my normal shift at Sugarcube corner."
Pokey worked at the local bakery with his marefriend, Pinkie pie.
"And you Comet?" Asked Thunderlane.
Comet tail finished the last of his cider.
"None." Replied Comet tail.
Comet tail got up.
"I need to get back home." Said Comet tail. "Ive got some stargazing to do tonight."
Comet tail walked out of the pub.
"He never has anything going on." Said Noteworthy.
Comet tail started to walk to the observatory. It was getting dark. As he passed the library, Comet tail stopped for a moment to think about the mare inside.
"Wonder what Twilight is doing right now." Mumbled Comet tail.
Then he felt somepony bump into him from behind.
"Im sorry-"
Comet tail stopped when he noticed the pony who had bumped into him. He was a yellow earth pony stallion named Goldengrape. The two stallions greatly disliked eachother.
"Comet fail." Groaned Goldengrape.
"Goldengrape." Said Comet tail in an irritated tone.
"Watch where your going." Said Goldengrape.
"I really dont want to deal with this right now." Said Comet tail.
"Well your lucky i dont either." Said Goldengrape.
Goldengrape stormed off angerly.
"What a grouch." Thought Comet tail.
Comet tail took one last look at the library before he resumed his walk home.
Thats chapter 1, more to come.
Caramel and Goldengrape's feud is inspired by their feud in Edfan1337's hearts and hooves story. Look it up some time its really good.
