There he was. Mac, standing at the mysterious stallions door, he'd just knocked.
And a million theories rushed through his head.
[color= orange] What am I gonna do? What if he sees me but doesn't recognize me? What if he does but he just blanks me? What if he kisses me?!
He fell backwards. [color= orange] WHAT IF HE KISSES ME!?!? I mean... I know it was normal, but what if Applejack was right? I mean... he's a cute colt, and well... I saw the way he looked at me. What if that's the real reason he invited me over...

He checked his fur, fluffing through it. [color= red] "How's my coat? My fur? WAIT. Am I..."
He looked down and blushes. [color= red] "Phew..."

He heard hoofsteps and shot up so fast he tripped on his own feet. [color= red] "Owww... my muzzle..."
A shadow fell over him and he squinted, muzzle crinkling. [color= red] "Uh oh..."

[color= purple] "Oh dear, look at your leg! I'll help you in and sort that out."
His horn shone brightly, and a bubble formed underneath Mac, lifting him up and floating him in.
Dari giggled to himself. [color= pink] I was hoping he'd get here soon.


Mac was laying on Dari's couch, it was a creamy-cyan colour.
His whole living room was surprisingly mild.
For a prince, he had some very strange tastes.
The room was mostly blues, with dark midnight walls, and two couches, one was cyan, and another more pastel.
He had a few lights around the room.
The hallway was very much the same and Mac thought it safe to presume as was the rest of his house.
Dari leaned over and dabbed a wet tea-towel on Mac's forehead.

[color= purple] "How's your head feel? Does it feel ok?"
Dari was very much genuinely concerned.
[color= red] "Eeyup."
He didn't have the confidence he usually had when saying that word, he looked as though he was trying to retreat into the back of the sofa.
Dari smiled lightly, a small comforting smile, and he stroked his foreleg with his hoof.
[color= purple] "I'll get you something to drink, I'll be right back."
Mac's eyes followed Dari as he walked.
[color= orange] Dat plot!
Mac blushed, knowing what he'd thought.
Dari turned, giggled and smiled.
[color= purple] "Were you looking at my plot?"
He giggled, seeing Mac's blush, he then shook his rump and trotted through the door.

Mac just laid there on the couch, he was under a blanket that Dari had given him.
He was acting strange by his standards, but he didn't mind. Dari just kept a small, sweet smile, the tips of his smile perked upwards.
Something about that smile made Mac feel a glow, and it the glow made him smile back.

Dari walked back in quickly, carrying a large glass of apple juice.
Mac sat up.
[color= red] "Thank ya kindly."
He said, smiling and taking the glass.
[color= purple] "No problem, I saw your cutie mark and thought you might want apple juice."
Mac took a gulp and put down the half-drunk glass.
[color= red] "What is yer cutie-mark?"
Dari turned, and let him see, he would've seen before if he hadn't been staring at his plot.
It was a blue five-point star, in a light blue circle, overlapped with a red five-point star in a pink star, which overlaps as purple.

[color= orange] Wow. [color= red] "What's it mean?"
[color= purple] "It means the Protection Magic of the Stars."
He sits down on the end of the sofa, and wipes Mac's forehead again.
Mac looks up, blushing. Their hearts racing.
[color= pink] POOF! Uh oh my wings...
His wings were completely straight out. He wasn't sure what was going on.
Mac shuffled slightly, leaning forward.
[color= orange] What am I doing! A...Am I trying to kiss him? I am?
Dari breathed out deeply, and exhaling. He shuddered.
[color= pink] Wow he smells good. He must've been working hard today, he's all sweaty.
He moaned slightly and quietly.
[color= pink] He smells like apples too... Mmmmm musky apples...
Mac felt something poke him, his eyes popped open. He smiled, winking slightly.
[color= orange] Eeyup... yup. I am. Did he just moan? Did I just wink? Oh my I'm bucked! I... I think I might actually want this to go somewhere, he's awful close...
Mac leans up again, feels Dari's breath against his.

But. Then. Dari bolted out towards the kitchen again.
Mac followed confused. He pressed his hoof against the stained door, opening it and walking through into the kitchen.
[color= red] "Dari?"
His lip quivered.
Dari shot around.
[color= purple] "W-w-Where did you hear that name?!"
Mac walked slowly, clapping against the hardwood floor.
[color= red] "Ah heard it from that Slenderpony pony."
Dari was shaking.
[color= pink] Uh oh...
[color= purple] "I'm... I'm an Alicorn Prince, as I'm sure you've guessed. But...
[color= red] "Eeyup?"
[color= purple] "I have been running my whole life from ponies, and it's because my mother isn't the most liked mare. My mother... is Princess Luna..."
