The stars in the sky.

Comet tail followed Caramel to his homeComet stood outside Caramel's home and looked up at his bedroom window. He coupd faintly hear sobbing.

"Poor Caramel. " muttered Comet tail. "He must be heartbroken.

Comet tail looked at the starry sky.

"Sure is pretty out though." Thought Comet tail.

Comet tail decided to head home and check on Caramel in the morning.

As he walked away from Caramel's house, he noticed one lone pony walking the streets. Twilight sparkle.

"Twilight?" Thought Comet tail.

Comet walked closer to the purple unicorn. Twilight noticed him approach.

"Guess im not the only one out for a midnight stroll." Said Twilight.

Comet tail chuckled.

"Guess not."

"You going anywhere?" Asked Twilight.

"Just home." Said Comet Tail.

"I know a coffee shop thats open all night." Said Twilight. "I could use the company."

Comet tail's ears perked up.

"Did she ask me to get a cup of coffee with her?" Thought Comet tail.

"Uh... Sure."

"Great." Said Twilight. "Come on i'll lead the way."

Comet tail followed Twilight.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached their destination, a small building with a neon sign in the shape of a coffee cup.

"Come on lets get inside." Said Twilight.

The two unicorns stepped inside the building. The inside had a tile floor, white walls, and several tables set up. In the back was a door and a counter with a cash register. It looked rather low budget. The place was void of any other ponies with the exception of two employees standing by the cash register, and one older stallion with a black coat and a white mane reading the newspaper.

"Cozy place here." Said Comet tail.

The two sat down at a table.

"Its a funny story how I found this place actually." Said Twilight. "I was getting tired while I was working on an important project and for the first time in years I didnt have any coffee to make."

"Really." Said Comet tail.

"I searched all over to find some Coffee mix." Said Twilight. "I even woke up my friend Rarity asked if she had any coffee."

Twilight and Comet tail chuckled.

"She must have been steamed." Said Comet tail.

"Then I found this place."

Twilight looked around the room, then back at Comet tail.

"Got my coffee, finished my project, and slept in." Said Twilight.

One of the employees approached the two.

"I'll have the usual." Said Twilight.

"Just give me some black coffee with cream." Said Comet tail.

The employee nodded and walked towards the door in the back.

"Its not very big or fancy, but they make good coffee." Said Twilight.

Comet tail remembered the door incident that happened earlier that day.

"About earlier when i hit you with the door-"

"Its alright Comet." Said Twilight. "Accidents happen."

Comet tail felt relieved that she wasn't mad at him.

"Thank celestia." Thought Comet Tail

"It wasn't the first time i got hit by that door." Said Twilight.

"So why are you out this late?" Asked Comet tail.

"Sometimes i like to walk around alone, look at the stars, thing about things." Replied Twilight. "Helps me unwind after a long day."

"Long day?" Asked Comet tail.

The employee returned with their coffee, setting it on the table and giving a smile before heading back to the door.

"Well before the door hit me I found out that spike burnt a star map I needed by accident." Began Twilight. "Plus i had to clean chewing gum out of a book that some careless colt returned."

Comet tail took a sip of his coffee.

"This is good coffee." Said Comet tail.

"Yeah."

Twilight took a sip of her coffee.

"I really needed that star map." Said Twilight glumly. "Without it i cant find out when that meteor shower will happen.

Comet tail nearly fell out of his chair.

"Meteor shower?" Began Comet tail. "I was studying it last night from the observatory."

"Really?" Said Twilight with great intrigue.

"I could bring you a copy of the notes I made tomorrow." Suggested Comet tail. "I might even have a spare Star map."

"If you could bring them that would be great." Said Twilight, a smile on her face.

Comet tail took a sip of his coffee.

"This is great." Thought Comet tail.

After they finished their coffee, Twilight paid (Comet offered to chip in but Twilight insisted she pay.) they stepped out of the coffee shop.

"I should stop by this place some time." Said Comet tail.

"Good thing its open 24/7." Said Twilight.

Comet tail looked up at the stars.

"Stars are bright tonight." Said Comet tail.

"Kinda pretty, isnt it?" Asked Twilight.

Comet tail nodded.

"I should get home." Said Twilight.

"I'll walk you back." Said Comet tail.

The two unicorns began to walk towards the direction of the library.

"Any of your friends in relationships?" Asked Twilight. "Well other than Pokey because i know he is."

Comet tail was taken back by her question, but decided to answer it anyways.

"Other than Pokey theres Thunderlane and I guess Soarin because he might be joining my group." Replied Comet tail.

"Seems like most of my friends are pairing up with somepony." Said Twilight. "Pinkie found Pokey, Applejack went out with that Vineyard pony tonight."

Comet tail tried not to think about Vineyard.

"And Rainbow dash apparently was in a relationship before any of them." Added Twilight. "Plus i think my friend Fluttershy might have a crush on somepony."

"Any idea who?" Asked Comet tail.

"Not really, but i think it might be an older stallion." Said Twilight. "It kind of makes me want to find myself a coltfriend again."

Comet tail felt extreme joy inside.

"YES! SHES LOOKING FOR A COLTFRIEND! SHES- wait..... Again?" Thought Caramel.

"Again?" Asked Comet tail.

Twilight stopped and blushed a bright red.

"Its kinda embarrassing....." Said Twilight.

Comet tail stopped.

"Tell you what, you tell me and I will tell you something embarrassing about me." Said Comet tail.

"Alright..... But dont laugh." Said Twilight.

She cleared her throat before starting her story.

"I was in magic kindergarden back in canterlot. I didnt fit in too well with the other colts and fillies. They made jokes about me, called me names, but there was one colt who was really nice to me. I dont remember his name, but we both liked reading. One day he tells me he likes me, I said that I liked him too."

Twilight's blush deepened.

"Next thing I know, he kisses me right on the lips. I was caught off guard by it but it felt....... Good."

Twilight looked away from Comet tail.

"We started being "coltfriend and fillyfriend". But then the other ponies made fun of us for it. In the end, He transfered to a different class and the rest of Magic kindergarden was a nightmare."

Twilight sighed.

"But I guess it doesnt count as a real relationship."

"It wasnt that embarrassing to me." Said Comet tail. "Alot of ponies had foal hood "relationships" back at that age."

Comet tail chuckled.

"Guess i should tell my embarrassing story."

Twilight's blush lessened.

"My mom thought I would be a filly, so almost all of my foalhood clothes were pink."

Twilight chuckled.

"I really wonder what happened to that colt." Said Twilight.

They resumed walking.

"I still remember that kiss. Soft lips, his soft breathing, he was very gentle."

"Any Ideas who you would pick for a coltfriend?" Asked Comet tail.

"Not yet." Replied Twilight. "But im sure I will find the right pony."

They reached the library.

"Thanks for the Coffee." Said Comet tail.

"No I should be thanking you for a great evening." Twilight said.

"Its getting very late Twilight." Said Comet tail. "I have to get home. Night."

"Night."

Comet tail walked away from the library feeling like he just won a month's supply of apples.

"This was a great night."

Comet tail walked into the observatory.

"Wonder who that colt Twilight was talking about was..." Said Comet tail.

Comet tail decided to gather the notes he said he would get to Twilight. He levitated his notebook onto a nearby table and went to grab some blank paper. As he approached the shelf where he kept the paper, he noticed something.
A book lying on the very top of the shelf.

"Huh......"

Comet tail levitated the book off and looked at it. He blew a layer of dust off of it. Upon getting a closer look at it, he noticed a portion of it was burnt.

"Iremember this book." Said Comet tail.

It was a scrapbook, one that had been damaged the month he moved to ponyville. He opened it up and looked inside it. Many of the pictures were burnt, but there were still many untouched photographs. He looked over some of the pictures inside. One was a simple picture of him, his mother, his father, and his younger sister. Another was him trying to assemble a telescope.

"I still have that telescope lying around somewhere." Said Comet tail.

He turned the page. Almost all of the pictures on the page were burnt. Only two were not. One was a picture of him back in magic kindergarden, before he got his cutie mark. He was smiling and reading a book.

"I remember that book." Thought Comet tail.

The other picture was black and white.

"I dont remember this one......" Muttered Comet tail.

It was a picture of him, still in magic kindergarden. He was smiling and laughing with another pony next to him. The pony had her head on his shoulders while smiling.

"Why don't I remember who that is?"

Comet tail looked at it closer.

"Wait a second....... That cant be....... How could ......"

He realized who the other pony in the picture was. The manestyle, bone structure, It was Twilight.

"How could I have-"

Comet tail froze when the realization hit him. He dropped the book onto the ground.

"Its me....."

Comet tail recalled that he was transfered to another class in magic kindergarden to a teacher better suited to him. But prior to that he had his first kiss with a filly his age. He never remembered the filly until now.

He was the colt Who kissed Twilight back in Canterlot all those years ago.

SHOCKER!

And before you ask about why the book was burnt, that fits in with a big scene in a future chapter.

For added fun, imagine the coffee shop employees as ponified spongebob and squidward.
