The Power of Love

Chapter 2

Twilight Sparkle. The most beautiful pony in all of Equestria, and I still hadn't told her how I really felt about her. For some reason, I was living in Ponyville now. I wasn't sure if it was because of Twilight or if it was just some gut feeling, but was sure about one thing:- I had completely left my old life behind. I had been there for six whole months.

But today was different. I was confident. Today, I was going to tell Twilight that I loved her.

I saw her in the park by herself, reading a book. That was my chance. I strolled up to her, trying to stop myself sweating.

"Hey Twilight." I said, trying to stay cool.

"Yeah Sunny?"

"Well, I have to ask you something."

"Yes?"

"Would you err... Would you... Would-" I stuttered.

At that moment, we heard a yelling from above us.

"Look out!"

We both looked up and saw Rainbow Dash spinning out of control towards us. Before I could get out of the way, she crashed into me, knocking me back. I lied there, dazed, trying to stop the world spinning around me. I got back up and gave Rainbow Dash an angry look.

"Oh. Sorry about that." she said.

Twilight returned her attention to me.

"Anyway, what did you want to ask me?" she asked.

"Oh. Nothing." I said. That perfect opportunity was ruined.

Six More Months Later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay. It was getting quite ridiculous now. In the past six months, I had given it another twelve attempts. Every single time, something happened which caused me to mess up. But no more. Today, I was just going to go up to her and blurt it out.

I walked over to her house and knocked on the door. She answered the door and I was immediately entranced by her beauty.

"Yes Sunny?" she asked.

"Twilight, I'm-" I began, but I was stopped by a scream, coming from outside.

"For pete's sake! What now?!" I yelled.

We both looked out the window and saw Lyra Heartstrings, screaming and pointing her hoof in the air. We ran outside and saw a horrible sight. An army of changelings was flying towards Ponyville.

"Oh damn!" I exclaimed.

Swarms of changlings flew down to Ponyville. Ponies were running around and screaming. They ran inside and locked their doors and windows, until suddenly a large changeling landed in the middle of the street.

"Take them all!" she yelled.

"Oh no! Queen Chrysalis!" Twilight said.

"Queen Chrysalis? You mean the same Queen Chrysalis who attacked Canterlot?" I asked nervously.

"Exactly!"

We ran through the town, avoiding the masses of destruction, as the changelings destroyed the buildings and ponynapped several ponies.

We continued running until the unimaginable happened. A changeling swooped down and stole Twilight! I stopped running and turned around. Twilight screamed for her life. I ran back towards her and leapt into the air. I reached out my hooves to grab her, but I missed. I was so close, but not close enough. I crashed onto the ground and rolled into a building. I got up and watched them take Twilight away. It crushed my heart. I sat there and watched, but I couldn't watch for long. Ponyville was under attack. I crawled under a cart and stayed silent. It was just horrible.
