Unexpected Joy

“I...what...I don’t...” Braxton muttered to himself.

“It’s fine Braxton.” Twilight said trying to comfort the recently made stallion.

The best explanation Braxton could make for this happening is the spell was made to teleport ponies, not humans. So maybe the spell changed his form to a stallion.

“Shes just not used to someone coming on to her like that.” Twilight said grinning.

“Coming on to her?!” Braxton said eyes widening.

“Flirting is the laymans term.” Twilight said sophisticatedly.

Braxtons eyes grew some more. He cocked his head and looked at her quizzically.

“Layman?” Braxton asked never hearing the big word.

“Normal pony..” Twilight said rolling her eyes.

“I gave her a compliment.”

“Besides if anything she was on me!” Braxton said defending himself.

“You know what I mean.” Twilight said helping the other mares clean the mess from the party.

“I can’t like a mare!”

“I’m a....”

Braxton finished the sentence in his head.

“A stallion..”

FlutterShy and Rarity exchanged looks.

“Do you mean you like stallions??” Pinkie burst in.

“I have always wanted a friend like you I think it would be fun we could dress each other up and it wouldn't be weird an-” Pinkie was stopped by a orange hoof that shut to her mouth.

“Heh heh..” AppleJack huffed.

“....no....” Braxton said flatly.

“I mean I don’t know who I like yet.” Braxton said realizing he is digging himself into a hole.

“Oh no..” Braxton thought to himself.

“What do you mean you don't know WHO?” Twilight asked lowering a brow.

“OH, c’mon we know you like dashie!” Pinkie blurted.

“Heh...” AppleJack muttered moving her mane out of her face.

“IS IT ME?!” Rarity exclaimed, her face turning red realizing what she just said.

“So, you're saying it could be me still??” FlutterShy said looking anxious.

“NO, I mean yes eh-” Braxton was unable to finish by a book hitting his head.

He looked around to see what happened or who threw it. He turned Twilight’s direction to see her eyes narrow. He immediately remembered the night before.

“Look, I don’t like anyone and if I do I haven't come to realize it yet.” Braxton said angrily, getting his point across.

There was silence.

“...Sorry..” Braxton said feeling bad for how he reacted, also scared how Twilight would react.

“Twi...c-can I go sit in your room? Braxton asked worried to make eye contact.

“Uhm, sure.” Twilight said.

“Thanks.” Braxton said walking away.

“Ugh, Spike I need to meet dudes..” Braxton said rubbing his eyes.

Spike began to giggle.

“So, Pinkie was right?”

Braxton stared daggers at Spike.

“Is there alcohol here?” Braxton asked.

It was his normal solution to calming down. So, why not here.

“Yeah every town has alcohol.” Spike replied. “Did humana- whatever not have some?”

Braxton’s eyes widened.

“Nope. Always wanted to try it.” Braxton said, an amazing idea sparked in his head.

“If you let me have some....” Spike muttered.

“ Aren’t you too young to drinking that kind of stuff anyway?” Braxton said in a playful voice.

“HEY!!!” Spike squeaked. Braxton giggled at that. “I'm old enough to drink!” Spike said making his voice deeper.

“No, I don’t think so bud.” Braxton said still smiling.

“Then find it yourself...” Spike said turning and crossing his arms like a young child.

“I can live without it.” Braxton said.

Not a few minutes after Twilight walked in the room.

“Well what i-” She was cut off by Braxton bumping her on his way to the 1st floor.
