Previous ChapterNext Chapter14 YEARS AGO
A young Comet tail, 7 years of age was being walked towards a school by an adult mare with a dark blue coat and a light blue mane.
"Mom I don't want to go to school!" Whined Comet tail.
"Just give it a chance." Said Comet tail's mother. "You might make a friend or two."
Comet tail groaned.
They reached the school and stepped into the front door. There were foals Comet's age playing games and a teacher sitting at a desk.
"Have a nice day sweetie." Said Comet tail's mom.
She departed, leaving Comet behind.
"Sigh..... Waste of time." Muttered Comet tail.
He walked around the room, looking for something to do. Unfortunately, all the games were full.
"Figures." Muttered Comet tail.
Then something caught his eye. A purple unicorn filly his age lying on the floor while reading a book. Comet tail approached the unicorn.
"Whatcha reading?" Asked Comet tail.
"A book." Replied the filly bluntly.
"Homework?" Asked Comet tail.
"Nope." Replied the filly. "Im reading this for fun."
Comet tail looked with surprise.
"You read for fun?" Said Comet tail. "Me too!"
The filly looked up from her book.
"R-really?"
"Yeah! Im Comet tail."
"Twilight."
"Is it alright I join you?" Asked Comet tail.
"Of course." Replied Twilight
Comet tail sat down next to twilight and they both began to read.
After the school day was finished, Comet tail returned home.
"Im home!" Said Comet tail as he walked through the front door. He noticed his mother sitting on the couch, reading a book.
"How was your day?" Asked Comet tail's mother.
"Eh, good I guess." Replied Comet tail.
Comet tail walked up the stairs towards his room.
"Twilight..... She has pretty eyes..... Wait, why am I thinking about her eyes?"
Comet tail stepped into his room.
FIVE DAYS LATER.
Comet tail had been thinking about Twilight for the past few days. He began to feel weird whenever he was near her. That Day he decided to ask his mother about it.
Comet tail approached his mother, who was adjusting a telescope.
"Mom, can I ask you something?" Asked Comet tail.
"What is it sweetie?" Asked Comet's mother.
"Ive been thinking about this pony alot..... And I feel weird when im around her...."
"Maybe she has a co-...... Wait her?" Said Comet's mother. "As in a filly?"
Comet tail nodded.
"Her names Twilight."
Comet's mother immediately stopped working on the telescope.
"Comet, sounds like you like this filly."
"She is my friend." Replied Comet tail.
"No honey, like as in..... Love."
Comet tail blushed brightly.
"Lu-love!?" Yelled Comet tail.
"Please lower your voice, your sister has a headache."
"Sorry mom..... Im heading upstairs."
Comet tail began to walk upstairs.
"Me..... In love with Twilight?" Thought Comet tail. "She actually is kind of cute..... And nice and smart....... Maybe I do like her..."
Comet tail stepped into his room.
THE NEXT DAY.
Comet tail decided that he would confess to
Twilight today. He walked around the park, looking for her.
"Where is she?" Thought Comet tail.
He looked around untill he finally saw Twilight.
She was sitting on the swing while two older ponies sat on a bench watching one a pink alicorn and the other a white unicorn.
"There she is." Thought Comet tail.
He got closer. Twilight noticed him.
"Hey Comet." Said Twilight.
"Twilight, could I talk to you for a sec?"
"Sure!" Said Twilight.
She got off the swing and they walked towards the jungle gym.
"What do you have on your mind?" Asked Twilight.
"Well...."
They reached the jungle gym and sat on the ground.
"Twilight........ I-uh...... I like you."
Twilight giggled.
"I like you too." Replied Twilight. "Your a great friend!"
Comet tail sighed.
"No not like that..... Im saying...... Oh forget this."
Comet tail Grabbed Twilight's head in his hooves and pulled her in for a kiss.
Both ponies had a bright red blush on their face. Twilight slowly closed her eyes and returned the kiss. From the bench the two older ponies watched.
"Awww, Twilight is having her first kiss." Said the alicorn.
"Kinda brings back some memories." Said the Unicorn.
They broke the kiss, both still blushing.
"Th-thats what you m-ment." Said Twilight.
"Yeah....." Replied Comet tail.
"Hey Comet...."
"Yeah?"
Twilight gave him a peck on the lips.
"I think I like you too......"
Comet tail smiled.
"Does this mean your my special somepony?...." Asked Comet tail.
Twilight giggled.
"Of course it does!" Replied Twilight.
Twilight gave him a quick hug.
"Lets go play on the swings!" Said Twilight.
Twilight ran towards the swingset while Comet tail followed close behind.
TWO WEEKS LATER.......
Two weeks have passed since Twilight and Comet became 'Special someponies'. They had gotten their share of teasing from their classmates, but they managed to ignore it most of the time.
Today they were going to a hair being held in canterlot. Accompanying them was Twilight's foalsitter Cadence.
"Look at all the stands!" Said Twilight.
Cadence chuckled.
"There definitely is allot of them." Said Cadence.
Cadence looked around.
"Wasn't your brother supposed to meet us here?" Asked Comet tail.
"He is." Said Twilight. "Where is he?"
Cadence sighed.
"I swear if hes getting another funnel cake......" Muttered Cadence. "Stay in this area, I might know where he is."
Cadence walked towards the direction of the food vendors.
"Now what?" Asked Comet tail.
He noticed Twilight was no longer next to him.
"Twi?"
He noticed twilight was staring at one of the games set up. It was a ring toss game with colored teddy bears as prizes.
"One game please." Said Twilight, taking out three bits.
The clerk chuckled.
"Alright then, three rings."
The clerk took the bits and set three plastic rinds in front of Twilight.
"Here it goes." Muttered Twilight.
She tossed one ring, missing its target.
"Again...."
Twilight tossed the second ring, also missing. Comet tail Approached Twilight.
"Let me try this one." Said Comet tail.
"Can you get it?" Asked Twilight.
"Watch me."
Comet tail picked up the ring and tossed it. The ring landed perfectly on its target.
"Wow how did you do that?" Asked Twililight.
"My dad taught me." Said Comet tail.
The clerk gave Twilight a Blue bear.
"Thank you very much." Said Twilight.
Twilight gave Comet tail a peck on the cheek.
"And thank you Comet."
The two ponies noticed Cadence and Twilight's brother Shining armor approaching them.
"We should get back to Cadence." Said Twilight.
The two foals walked towards the two older ponies.
FOUR WEEKS LATER........
Comet tail and Twilight walked towards Comet's house.
"They're moving you to a different class?" Asked Twilight.
"Yeah....." Replied Comet tail. "But I promise that I will find you again."
They stopped in front of his garage.
"Then we can be together forever." Said Twilight.
They leaned in and kissed each other only to be interrupted by a bright flash.
"What the!?" Said Comet tail.
Standing near them with a camera was a younger Bright skies.
"Gotcha!" Said Bright.
"BRIGHT!" Yelled both ponies simultaneously.
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
Comet tail finished processing his memories.
"All those memories......." Muttered Comet tail.
"Ya find what ya need?" Asked Bright.
"I think I did." Said Comet tail. "You have that photograph you took at the end?"
"I put it in your scrapbook before you left Canterlot." Replied Bright.
Comet tail's eyes widened.
"Oh celestia dont let it be...."
Comet tail took out the scrapbook from his saddlebag and began flipping through it.
"Wh-why is it burnt?" Asked Bright.
Comet tail stopped at one page in particular. It was mostly burnt except for one spot where a picture would have been. Only the spot was blank.
"What the hay?" Muttered Comet tail,
"I put it there...... It didnt get burnt did it?" Asked Bright.
"No." Replied Comet tail. "No marks close enough to where it would gave been."
"Then where is it?" Asked Bright.
"The only pony other than me to touch that book was.........Goldengrape!"
Comet tail closed the book.
"I know where it is!"
Comet tail looked out the window, it was night out.
"Sis can I spend the night here?" Asked Comet tail.
"Sure, and one more thing." Replied Bright.
"What?" Asked Comet tail.
Bright smiled.
"Don't forget to visit."
The following day Comet tail took the first express train back to Ponyville.
He stepped out if the train and into the train station. Spike was waiting for him.
"Your back." Said Spike.
"Any updates?" Asked Comet tail.
"He didn't try anything, but they moved their date to an earlier time so they could go to the Harvest party." Replied Spike.
"When?"
"Its in two hours." Said Spike.
"I need you to drop my things off at the observatory." Said Comet tail.
He gave Spike his suitcase.
"Then I need you to follow them on their date."
Spike smirked.
"Can do." Said Spike.
Comet tail began to walk away.
"Now I need to get that photo." Thought Comet tail.
But he couldn't do it alone. He needed help. And he knew just the pony to help him.
You want to break into Goldengrape's house and steal something back from him?" Asked Thunderlane.
The two were standing outside Thunderlane's house.
"Yep." Replied Comet tail.
"..... Eh why not. Im in."
Thunderlane looked inside his house.
"I got some infiltration suits just for this sort of occasion........" Said Thunderlane.
