The stars in the sky.
Chapter 10
Previous ChapterComet tail looked over his notes as he sipped a cup of coffee.
"The Meteoras Cordis are going to be passing by tonight." Thought Comet tail.
In his notes was a map of an area near Sweet Apple Acres. Two spots were circled In on it.
"Theres two spots in the area that have better visibility of the shower than others..." Muttered Comet tail. "A gap in The West Apple orchard, And Startop hill."
Startop hill was a hill where the sky was easily visible. The hill itself was located just off of the Farm's property. Comet tail had been there several times to watch comets, meteor showers, and other astrological phenomena.
"Im finally going to do It tonight." Said Comet tail.
Comet tail had a plan all figured out. He would Leave the harvest party early with Twilight to get ready for the shower, then as it was about to happen he would confess his feelings and show Twilight the picture.
"Nothing can Stop me now."
Comet tail trotted into his bathroom to prepare a bath.
Comet tail Approached Caramel's house, Saddlebags on his back.
"Here we go." Said Comet tail.
He knocked on the door.
"Caramel are you there!?" Called Comet tail.
No response. He knocked again.
"Are you asleep in there!?"
"Coming!" Shouted Caramel.
A few moments later Caramel answered the door.
"Hey Comet."
"Ready to head out?" Asked Comet tail.
"Yeah, just give me a Sec." Replied Caramel.
Caramel closed the door and returned a minute later with his Saddlebags.
"Good to go." Said Caramel. "Lets get to that party."
The two stallions headed for Sweet apple acres.
Comet and Caramel approached Sweet apple acres, both in the midst of a discussion.
"So You had to go to Canterlot to get a book you needed?" Questioned Caramel.
"Yeah." Lied Comet tail.
"Wouldn't Twilight have the book you needed?" Asked Caramel.
Comet tail quickly changed the topic.
"I saw Vineyard on the train there."
Caramel stopped, Comet tail swore he could see his eye twitch.
"Mel?"
"I-....im alright." Said Caramel.
"I think he was going to some sort of a meeting up there." Said Comet tail. "I had a short conversation with him."
"What did he say?" Asked Caramel.
"He said Goldengrape hates my guts."
"No Surprise there." Said Caramel.
"He also doesn't like Aj's friends.... Or you."
Caramel's eyes widened.
"He doesn't?"
Comet tail shook his head.
"He said you were obnoxious, and he thinks all Twilight does is read." Said Comet tail. "Should we Tell Applejack?"
"No." Replied Caramel. "She wouldn't believe us unless we had proof."
"Maybe we could get proof." Said Comet tsil.
Caramel raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"When he gets back we could find some proof that he doesn't like Applejack's friends and give it to her." Said Comet tail. "She would dump him faster than a cheetah in a foot race."
Caramel smiled.
"Sounds like a plan." Began Caramel. "Lets get to the party."
They reached the barn where the party was taking place. They could hear talking and music coming from the inside.
"Sounds like they're having fun in there." Said Caramel.
"Yeah." Said Comet tail. "Lets go join them."
They stepped inside the barn. String up lights were set up inside, there was a refreshments table set up in the corner, and a small band was set up near a section of the barn that appeared to be the dance floor. There were several ponies inside socializing and dancing.
[Imagine this song is playing in the background. http://youtu.be/sRctMzvGlNk ]
"This is a bigger party than last years." Said Caramel.
Comet tail smelt the fresh baked apple treats Comming from the refreshment table.
"Food smells better too." Added Comet tail.
They both chuckled.
"Im going to find Lucky." Said Caramel.
"Alright, have fun." Said Comet tail.
Comet tail walked towards the refreshment table.
"Im starving." Thought Comet tail.
He approached the table and noticed a familiar purple unicorn levitating a half eaten apple fritter.
"Twilight!" Thought Comet tail.
He approached Twilight.
"Hey Twilight." Said Comet tail.
"Oh hey." Said Twilight.
Comet tail picked up an apple fritter with magic.
"So how was your day?" Asked Comet tail.
"Not good. I had a date, but it turns out he was the complete opposite of everything I wanted in a colt." Replied Twilight.
Comet tail took a bite of his fritter.
"Im starting to think that theres no pony in this town for me."
"Im sure theres somepony here." Said Comet tail.
"But nopony like the one from canterlot...." Muttered Twilight.
Comet tail took another bite of his fritter.
"Don't forget about the meteor shower tonight." Said Comet tail.
Twilight's ears perked up.
"Oh yeah, it slipped my mind."
Comet tail smiled.
"We should probably head for Startop hill to see it." Said Comet tail. "It has a better view."
"Right, Get me when you want to head down." Said Twilight.
Comet tail nodded and walked away with his fritter.
"Thats it!" Muttered Twilight. "Thats how I find me special somepony."
Comet tail had been at the party for an hour and a half now. He decided that he needed a breath of fresh air, so he stepped outside.
Comet tail looked up at the sky.
"Just a little bit longer......" Muttered Comet tail.
He noticed Caramel step out of the barn.
"You needed some fresh air?" Asked Comet tail.
Caramel looked at his friend.
"No. I have to check on something." Replied Caramel.
"Oh." Said Comet tail.
"I'll only be a bit." Said Caramel.
Caramel walked away. Comet tail looked back at the sky.
"Maybe I should find Twilight and get ready to head out." Muttered Comet tail.
Comet tail walked back inside.
Comet tail looked around the barn.
"Where is she?"
Comet tail noticed Pokey standing nearby talking with Pinkie Pie. Comet tail Approached the two.
"So I said lettuce? Are you nuts?" Said Pinkie pie.
"Hey." Said Comet tail.
The pair looked at him.
"Comet." Began Pokey. "How are you?"
"Good." Replied Comet tail. "You seen Twilight?"
"No, sorry." Said Pokey.
"Oh oh! Spike would know!" Said Pinkie in her enthusiastic tone.
"Thanks." Said Comet tail.
Comet walked away from the two.
"Where is he....?"
"Comet!" Said a voice.
Comet tail turned and saw spike running towards him.
"Twilight ran off." Said Spike.
"What?" Replied Comet tail.
"Twilight ran off somewhere. I tried to follow her but I lost her."
Comet tail looked at the exit.
"I might know where she went." Said Comet tail. "Stay here and make sure nopony looks for me."
Comet tail galloped towards the exit, passing by a nervous looking grey stallion.
"Why didn't she wait for me?" Thought Comet tail.
Comet tail exited the barn.
"I have to get to Startop hill."
Comet tail ran out of sweet apple acres.
The path to Startop hill was just off the dirt road leading to sweet apple acres. It was essentially a wooded area, full of trees but one could easily see the sky from the ground. A couple apple trees added diversity to the area.
Comet tail ran down the wooded path.
"Twilight!?" Called Comet tail.
Then suddenly a hoof stuck out from a tree in front of Comet tail, tripping him as he ran over it.
"Ooohhh...."
"Nice try Comet fail."
Goldengrape stepped out from behind the tree.
"Goldengrape!" Yelled Comet tail.
"I take it your going to see the meteoro cordless."
"Its meteoras cordis!" Said Comet tail.
"Whatever."
Goldengrape began to walk around Comet tail.
"I know you saw my notebook." Said Comet tail.
"You think I care that you know that? Guess what, I don't." Said Goldengrape. "All I care about is getting my revenge."
Goldengrape kicked one of Comet tail's hind legs.
"You ruined my life." Began Goldengrape. "I lost the respect I earned, my two idiot lackeys...."
Goldengrape stomped on Comet tail's front left hoof.
"And the only mare who ever understood me!"
Comet tail grunted.
"You didn't earn that respect, you stole it! You bullied everypony into respecting you." Said Comet Tail.
"You can kiss Twilight goodbye."
Goldengrape kicked dirt into Comet's face.
"Shes mine now."
"She would never end up with a thug like you!" Yelled Comet tail.
"I beg to differ." Said Goldengrape. "I know how that shower works, You watch it and you find your Soulmate. How would Twilight react if she thought that Soulmate Was me?"
Comet tail growled angrily at him.
"One that shower is finished, im going to walk up to her." Said Goldengrape. "Shes going to think im her destined match. Just like the books said would happen."
"The only way you would succeed, is if you kill me." Said Comet tail.
Goldengrape laughed.
"Im not going to kill you." Said Goldengrape. "Your going to watch our 'love' bloom into a lifelong unity, from the comfort of a wheelchair!"
"Ive had enough of you Goldengrape."
Comet tail got up.
"This ends now!" Yelled Comet tail.
Comet tail took off his saddlebag and set it against a tree.
"So we got ourselves a hero." Said Goldengrape smugly.
Goldengrape smirked.
"This is going to be fun."
[ wanna make this scene awesome? Play this in the background! http://youtu.be/pgYM8uRcsIA ]
Goldengrape swung at Comet tail. The unicorn dodged his attack and swung his right hoof into Goldengrape's face,
Comet tail was no fighter, but he knew a thing or two from going to the gym with Thunderlane and watching Kung-Fu movies with Pokey.
"Guess you actually got some fight in you." Said Goldengrape.
Goldengrape charged at Comet tail. Comet tail sidestepped and punched his right shoulder.
"Barely hurt!"
Goldengrape turned to Comet tail and punched him in the neck.
"You think your the good guy in all this!?" Yelled Goldengrape.
Goldengrape tripped Comet tail and kicked his head.
"Your no hero Comet, your a nerd with a crush!"
Comet tail got up.
"Well im more of a hero than you are!" Yelled Comet tail.
Comet tail swung at Goldengrape. He blocked the punch with his front hoof.
"Your sloppy Comet fail!"
Comet tail headbutted Goldengrape, knocking him back a bit.
"But I got a few tricks." Said Comet tail.
"Your not the only one with a few tricks." Said Goldengrape.
Goldengrape swung around and bucked Comet tail with his hind legs. The impact sent Comet tail flying against an Apple tree.
"Your a wimp Comet! Ever since magic freaking kindergarden!"
Comet tail slowly got up.
"What do you remember about magic kindergarden!?" Yelled Comet tail.
"I remember you sucked up to the teacher! And you were a huge tattle tale!"
Comet tail's horn began to glow.
"But lets not dwell in that any lo-"
An apple flew into his face, splattering all over his muzzle.
"Gah!"
Comet tail had several apples floating around him, all held by magic.
"Never hurts to give a teacher an apple!"
Comet tail threw the rest of the apples at Goldengrape, most of them hitting him.
"Fight me like a stallion!" Yelled Goldengrape. "You fight like a fruit salad!"
Comet tail ran at Goldengrape and punched him multiple times. Goldengrape managed to sidestep a punch and hit Comet in his side.
"Im actually working up a sweat!" Said Goldengrape.
Goldengrape decided to finish things.
He tackled Comet tail into a tree and pinned him down.
"Before I shut that mouth of yours, tell me Comet. Why did you, YOU of all ponies decide to stand up to me?"
Goldengrape raised his front right hoof.
"Why?"
Goldengrape swung his hoof at Comet's head, but the blow never connected. Goldengrape's hoof was surrounded by a blue glow.
"What the!?"
Comet tail's horn glowed the same color.
"Why did I decide to stand up against you?" Said Comet tail.
The glow spread to the rest of Goldengrape's body, the stallion was slowly lifted into the air.
"What are you-"
Comet tail got up.
"Because Nopony else would!" Yelled Comet tail.
Comet tail used his magic to throw Goldengrape around, smacking him into trees and against the ground.
"GGGGAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Was all Goldengrape could yell.
Comet tail decided Goldengrape had enough so he released him, causing the Earth piny to collide with a tree.
"Ah..... My back....."
Comet tail trotted over to Goldengrspe and held his head in his hoof as he knelt down to Goldengrape's eye level.
"Stay away from Twilight....."
Goldengrape's eyes displayed a look of fear.
"And If I ever see you harming any pony ever again, then I'm going to give you a much more painful ride. Kap-eash? "
Goldengrape merely nodded.
"Good."
Comet tail got up.
"Now leave."
Goldengrape scrambled to his hooves and ran to the direction of the main road. Comet tail took a moment to revel in his accomplishment.
"I just beat Goldengrape....." Thought Comet tail.
Comet tail picked up his saddlebag and put it back on.
"Im losing time, I need to find Twilight."
Comet tail galloped towards the direction of Startop hill.
Comet tail reached Startop hill. Sitting at the top was Twilight Sparkle.
"Time to do this." Thought Comet tail.
Comet tail slowly walked up the hill. Once he reached the top he looked at Twilight.
"Twilight."
Twilight quickly turned around.
"C-comet?"
Comet tail took a step forwards.
"Comet I have to see this alone." Said Twilight.
"Why?" Asked Comet tail.
"Comet, All my friends are getting into relationships. I want one too."
"What about the pony from Canterlot?" Asked Comet tail.
Twilight Sighed.
"It was stupid of me." Began Twilight. "That stallion probably moved on and found a new marefriend."
"Twilight I have to tell you something." Began Comet tail.
"What is it?"
"Twilight I......."
The words would not flow well.
"I...... I..... ." Said Comet tail.
Comet tail decided to speak with his actions instead.
Comet tail pressed his lips against Twilights.
Twilight felt suddenly happy. She slowly closed her eyes and returned the kiss.
"Finally...." Thought Comet tail
They broke the kiss.
"That kiss...... It was just like...." Muttered Twilight.
Comet tail floated his picture out of his saddlebag and handed it to Twilight. Twilight looked over the picture with surprise.
"Thats me.... Kissing......"
She looked at Comet tail.
"Your........"
"Him."
Twilight blushed lightly.
"I cant believe it...... We found eachother again." Said Twilight.
"Guess were back together now." Said Comet tail.
Twilight wrapped him into a hug.
"And I want it to stay that way." Said Twilight.
Comet tail hugged her back. He could herl a tear dripping down her cheek and falling onto his shoulder.
"Are you crying?" Asked Comet tail.
"Im just...... So happy." Replied Twilight.
Comet tail looked up, the meteor shower was starting. Several meteors with pink trails decorated the sky.
"Its starting." Said Comet tail.
They looked at the meteors.
"Its amazing." Said Twilight.
"Never in my years of astronomy have I seen something like this." Said Comet tail.
Comet tail briefly turned away from the shower and noticed a figure on a nearby hill.
It was Goldengrape.
Despite the distance between them, Comet tail Recognized him immediately. Goldengrape looked at the two ponies before turning around and leaving. Comet tail looked back at the meteor shower.
"Its over, all the longing to be with Twilight, all those years of having to put up with Goldengrape, its all finally over." Thought Comet tail. "This is where the next chapter of my life begins."
They watched the last meteor go by.
"Now what?" Asked Comet tail.
"Spike can handle himself at the party." Said Twilight. "How about we head into town to celebrate our reunion."
They both got up and Twilight smirked.
"I could go for a coffee."
"Lead the way." Said Comet tail.
The pair walked away from the hill.
TWO YEARS LATER.
Comet tail knocked on the library door.
Over the past two years all of Twilight's friends had found Coltfriends. Comet tail's relationship with Twilight had grown greatly, the two were almost inseperable. The two often discussed literature and science while on dates and stargazed together often. Comet tail even bought a wedding ring to give to Twilight when he believed the time was right.
Goldengrape never bothered another pony ever again, in fact he moved out of Ponyville a week after his confrontation with Comet tail. The night he left, Comet tail found a bottle of wine with a six marked on it lying on his doorstep. Comet tail concluded that it was a peace offering and shared it with Twilight (both of them liked it).
Twilight answered the door.
"Comet." Said Twilight. "You made it."
Comet tail stepped inside.
"So what is this anniversary present you said you had?" Asked Twilight.
They were celebrating their two year anniversary today.
"My sister found a couple scrapbooks buried in her basement." Said Comet tail.
Comet tail took off his saddlebag and took a scrapbook out of it. It was similar to the one that had been burnt only with a blue cover.
"She had alot of pictures of us."
Comet tail opened the book and the two unicorns looked at its contents.
Inside were several pictures of them as foals doing various activities together. Twilight recognized one of her and Comet at the fair. There were also alot of more recent pictures of them on various dates.
"This is great." Said Twilight.
Twilight turned the page. There was an empty spot in the album.
"Why is there a picture missing?" Asked Twilight,
"I got it right here." Replied Comet tail.
Comet tail took out his damaged scrapbook and floated a picture out of it. It was the picture of them together that Comet found the night they went to the coffee shop, the very picture that made Comet realize who Twilight was.
"Heres to the best two years of my life." Said Comet tail.
Twilight grabbed the picture with magic and placed it in the scrapbook.
"We have come pretty far, haven't we?" Asked Twilight.
"We sure have." Replied Comet tail.
They kissed each other. After a minute they broke the kiss and nuzzled each other's necks.
"I love you Comet."
"Love you too Twi......"
