The Story of How Sport and Twinkle Bloom met
It was a lovely December afternoon, snow on the ground, the little fillies playing in it. Sport was taking a walk through Ponyville, after being drafted by the ELB's Ponyville Cardinals, he was ready to move in come February. Sport currently resided in Canterlot at that time. Sport felt lonely though, he had never been in a relationship before, and he wanted to know how that felt. He has plenty of friends in which plan to come celebrate his birthday just in a few days. He saw couples kissing under mistletoes as he walked by, all he did was sigh.
He continued to walk when he saw a pink pegasus with a mutli-colored mane. She was buying Hearths Warming presents and was struggling along the icy path. She drop some. "Oh, clumsy me." She sadly said. "Do you need help ma'am?" Sport asked. "Sure, thank you so much." She said. "No problem, I always love helping other ponies out." Sport happily said. "I always love helping other animals out. What's your name?" The pink pegasus asked. "Sport. I was recently drafted by the Ponyville Cardinals." He said. "Oh my gosh! I know you, you're a really talented baseball player. All of Equestria knows about you!" She excitingly said. "Thanks, I can't wait for Spring Training in February." Sport said. "What's your name?" "I'm Twinkle Bloom. I like caring for other animals and I love playing with my friends." She said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you Twinkle Bloom." He said. "Pleasure meeting you too. We should hang out more." Twinkle Bloom said. Sport felt a little warm inside despite the cold weather. "I would love that." He replied happily. Twinkle Bloom smiled and slightly blushed, but Sport didn't notice. "He's even cuter when you see him in real life. Am I blushing? Oh no, I don't want him seeing me like this. He probably is taken knowing him." Twinkle Bloom said in her mind. "Umm Sport?" She asked. "Sup?" Sport replied. "Umm, do you- do you have a girlfriend?" She asked. "Nope. I've actually never had one before truthfully." Sport said feeling a little ashamed. "How is that possible?" She asked. "I-I mean I'm not being rude, I didn't mean to ask that, I'm so sorry!" She said feeling panicked. Sport put his hoof around her. "It's ok. I don't mind being asked that." Sport said smiling at her. "Ok." She said smiling. "Here's my house." She said. "Ok. Nice house." Sport said. "Yeah, I moved here a little while back. I originally was born and raised in Long Beach, you know in Las Pegasus." She said. "Wow, I've been there about three times when I was in U-12 tournaments. We won it all three years and I was tournament MVP every time." Sport said. "Wow! That's amazing Sport! You're the best baseball player I've ever seen!" She said in a happy tone. "Well, I don't like to brag, that would be mean of me." Sport said. "That's so nice of you. Do you want to come in and have some hot cocoa?" She asked. "Sure!" Sport said. "Really? Cool, since you know, you're probably busy and such." She said. "Well, I'm here for about the next three days with the annual ELB Winter Meetings plus, I signed my new contract recently." He said walking inside. Sport sat down and helped with Twinkle Bloom.
"Thank you so much for your help Sport. I really appreciate it." She said. "No problem, anytime Twinkle Bloom." Sport happily said. "Make yourself comfortable, you can go upstairs if you want and see my animals. It's up to you." She said with a shy smile. "Sure, I love animals. Bunnies are my favorite actually." He said feeling a bit embarrassed just because he's a baseball player and other ponies think he's a tough pony, but he has good heart. "Awww you love bunnies? So do I!" She said in an excited way. Sport smiled and slightly blushed. "I really like this pegasus, she's nice, polite, thoughtful, and she's kind of cute. Should I ask her out? Or is that being too pushy. Not sure, I guess it's a good sign if she asked if I had a girlfriend earlier right?" Sport thought to himself as Twinkle Bloom went to make hot cocoa. He saw a picture of Long Beach with the baseball field he had played on in three tournaments in the background. "Wow, I'll be darn." He said chuckling to himself. "Is something wrong?" She asked. "No I just see the stadium I played in those tournaments I mentioned earlier in one of your pictures. Beautiful park if I remember. I remember playing at Angel Stadium for the finals where the Las Pegasus Angels play." Sport said. "Oh yes, I saw you play a few times actually at those times and I remember not too long after that you started getting very popular." She said. "Yeah. Good times." He said.
Twinkle Bloom came back with the hot cocoa with small marshmallows in it. "Here you go. I hope you enjoy, it's a recipe from my grandmother." She said. "Thank you so much, that's very kind of you." Sport said taking a sip. "This is delicious Twinkle Bloom. Thank you." He added. "Oh good! I'm glad you like it and you're welcome!" She said happily. "Umm, so what are you doing for Hearths Warming?" She asked. "I'm probably gonna go back to where I was born in Baltimare and celebrate with the family. Maybe catch a hockey game with my dad." He said. "Sounds fun!" She said. "Ironically my birthday is four days away, on the 20th." He replied. "Oh my gosh! Are you having a birthday party?" She asked. "Yeah, up in Canterlot where I currently live since I play for the Canterlot developmental team." Sport said taking another sip. "Can I come, if that's ok?" She asked shyly. "Sure!" He said. "Ok, what should I get you?" She asked. "I don't care, you don't have to get me anything." Sport said. "Wow, you're so easy-going and laid back." She said kind of surprised. "Yeah, I was an easy child growing up." He said chuckling. She giggled. Sport's cheeks turned pink. "So what are you planning for Hearths Warming?" Sport asked her still blushing. She noticed and giggled again, she felt so comfortable with him at this point. "Well, I'm going to Long Beach to celebrate with my family and friends. Are you planning on moving to Ponyville?" She asked. "Yes, I don't know when, but soon. I'm currently looking at a few houses for a reasonable price." He said. "Cool because I would love to see you more- umm I mean…" Twinkle Bloom slipped out on accident. At this point she was blushing of embarrassment. "Oh no! I said the wrong thing! I don't want to make him feel weird!" Twinkle Bloom said in her mind. "Sorry." She said. "For what?" Sport asked. "Saying that I want to see you more." She said hiding in her mane. "It's ok, I think you're a really nice mare. You're really sweet. I would love to see you too." Sport said with his cheeks getting pink again. "He's blushing. Does he like me? He's so sweet!" She thought to herself. "Umm Sport?" She asked. "Y-Yes?" He asked. "Umm, are you ok? Your cheeks are pink." She said giggling. "Umm yeah, I'm fine." He smiled. "Should I ask her out? I think she likes me." Sport thought. "Hey Twinkle Bloom?" He asked. "Yes Sport?" She happily said as if she knew what he was about to ask her. Sport got nervous, weird because he never gets nervous in game-time situations during baseball. "I was wondering…..if…maybe…we could do something sometime. Like…hangout?" Sport blushing heavily. Twinkle Bloom smiled shyly and blushed as well. "Like a date?" She asked. "Umm, yeah." He said turning shy. "I would love to!" She replied. Sport felt much better. "Ok. So, umm maybe tonight after my meetup with the coaching staff and teammates we could go out to Crystal Light? I hear that's a really nice restaurant." Sport said. "Sure! What time should I meet you?" She asked. "Umm, 8pm?" He asked. "Definitely! I never knew I would be dating a baseball player. I always thought ponies like you would want to hotter looking mares." She said. "Well, I'm different. After talking to you and getting to know you. You're the perfect mare. You're sweet, polite, and thoughtful. Plus you care for a lot of animals and you're really cute." Sport said. "You think I'm cute?" She asked. "Yeah." He said. "Awww!" She felt so happy he flew over to Sport and hugged him. He hugged her back. "Well, I have to go to the Winter Meetups." He said looking at the clock. "I'll see you at 8?" "You bet. See you there Sport!" She said. "Can't wait." He said as he left.
After the meeting coach Pony LaRussa and the rest of his team and all the media interviews, Sport left the place at 7:40. "So, we'll meet here. Maybe I could by her a rose." Sport thought to himself. So Sport bought a rose for her and went back to wait for her. A few moments later, he saw her walking towards him in a scarf. "Hi Sport!" She happily said. "Hey, I got you something." He said giving her the rose. Twinkle Bloom blushed. "Oh Sport. You're the sweetest!" She said hugging him. "I'm glad you like it." He said. They got to the place and took a seat. "I can pay, I've got money than I know what to do with." He said. "Oh you didn't have to do that." She said. "No it's ok." He said. "The only thing I worry id the media." He said. "It's ok Sport, you'll be fine." She said smiling. "Ok." Sport said smiling. The waiter came by and they ordered their drinks. "Good evening you two, I'm Joe, what would you two love birds like to drink?" He asked. They giggled. Twinkle Bloom ordered Ice Tea and Sport ordered Colta Cola. "Ok, I'll be back with your drinks." The waiter said. "Thanks." They both said. "You like soda? So do I." She said. "Yeah, I love drinking it." He said. "I didn't know what to order because I'm dating a baseball player like you and…" She said. "It's ok, order what you like. I'm just a normal earth pony." Sport said with a smile. "Oh Sport, I never met a stallion so sweet and gentle." She said blushing. The waiter gave them their drinks and asked what they wanted to order. "Could you give us a couple minutes please?" She asked politely. "Certainly." He said. "What do you want to order?" She asked. "Order what you want cutie." Sport slipped out nicely. "Oh Sport." She giggled. "Maybe we could share a big plate of spaghetti?" She added. "Sure." He said. "Ok." She said. So they ordered it and sat there and talked. "So Sport, what's your family background?" She asked. "Well, my dad was a football player. Do you know the name, DarrenGreen?" He asked. "I think I remember hearing about him because of a trading card in my old house. He's your dad?" She asked. "Yep, and a Equestrian and Rodeo pony named StacyJean is my mother." He said. "Wow! She was amazing!" She said. "You've seen her?" He said. "Yes, I remember her taking first prize in a competition when I was a filly." She said. "Amazing, I didn't know you knew some sports." He said. "I don't know much but I know a few things, especially Equestrian League Baseball." She said. "Cool!" Sport said.
They talked more and their food showed up. "Thank you." They said. They started to eat and when they slurped up a string of spaghetti, it was the same string they had and nearly kissed. They blushed. Sport bit it off and gave the rest to Twinkle Bloom. "Awww, thanks." She said. "Sorry." He said. "No need to be, I thought it was adorable. Tehe, you were blushing." She giggled. "So were you." He said giving her a nuzzle. She just giggled and blushed even more. They then finished their dinner. "That was yummy." She said. "I agree." He said wiping his mouth with a napkin. "You want to have desert?" She asked. "Sure." He said. "How about Cheesecake?" She said. "I love cheesecake! Why not?" He said. "Me too!" She said. "Oh my gosh I love him! He's the best stallion a mare could ask for!" Twinkle Bloom thought inside and she almost squeed. So they ordered desert and Sport paid the bill. "You two have a goodnight." The waiter said. "And good luck rookie." He added. Sport smiled. "You bet, here's a tip." He left on the table. "Thank you so much!" He said. "No prob. Take care sir." He said.
Afterwards, they walked to Twinkle Bloom's house. "I had a really good time with you Sport." Twinkle Bloom said. "Me too. Who knew I'd run into a beautiful and wonderful mare like you." Sport said. Twinkle Bloom blushed. "Oh Sport. You're too nice. You're making me blush." She said. "But it's cute when you do it." Sport said. "Can I ask you something?" She asked. "Of course." He said. "Wanna be my very special somepony?" She asked. "Well of course I will." Sport said as he felt a warm fuzzy feeling inside, something he never felt before. "I love you Sport." She said. "I love you too Twinkle Bloom." Sport replied. They stood at each other, eye to eye. They grew closer and closer, then they kissed lip to lip. Sport just had the greatest feeling ever next to being the first overall pick in the ELB draft. But the kiss definitely defeated that. They let go. "You're amazing." Sport said. "You're my Mr. Wonderful." She added. They finally reached the house. "So do you have a place to sleep?" She said. "Oh snap. I didn't even think about that." Sport said. "It's ok, I have a guest room if you want to sleep there." She said with a cute smile. "Thank you so much. That's so kind of you." He said. Instead however, they were on the couch with a warm fire to warm the house. "Wanna snuggle?" She asked. "Sure." Sport said. Twinkle Bloom cuddled up next to Sport and fell asleep. "Goodnight, my sweetie." She said. "Goodnight my love." Sport said. They cuddled up to each other and fell asleep.
