Twilight finds her apple of her eye. But who is it?

Oooh! Twilight's jealous! All her friends have found their love but Twilight. But no thanks, she'll stick to reading spells.

On a day trip to meeting Princess Celestia, she spies a handsome boy so called "Moon Swift" walking by in a royal tuxedo. Finding out he's Trixie's older brother (Not True!) , she insists she has no chance to capture his love.

Importance: Dawn

Equestria, was silent. Too silent. Not a single peep of laughter from Pinkie Pie, her mane floppy pink, her deep sighs filling the room. I mixed the coffee powder with the milk, heating it in the microwave. And for Pinkie Pie, who had a big white apron on, heard the ring of her oven and reached for the cupcake. "Here you go, Twilight. Your favorite, Banana Cream with a chocolate twirl. I made it for you." The cupcake started to float, and on to the sugar-cane table. I slowly licked off the frosting, and began to chow down.

"Ugh! Not one single customer today! Good thing you came along, Twilight." Pinkie Pie shouted, her hooves crossed together, her eyes rolling up and down. "And Dashie left me here... all alone." I twisted my hair in an unusal way, and then settled down.

" Well, I don't appreciate love. There's nothing to it." I replied, burping the sweets I had just ate. Pinkie Pie lifted an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to mean?" she questioned. "I don't see where love gets you." I repeated, in a much louder tone this time.
"What?! Love makes you happy, not alone, and have fun together. I love Dashie as much as you love Princess Celestia." Pinkie Pie cried. I blushed. "I don't love her, she's my teacher! I respect her!" I shouted.

Slowly Pinkie Pie inserted a hoof in her mouth. "Well guess what missy- I've got news. Find your apple of your eye cause me, Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity's found them. You're on your own." she spoke.

Pow! Pinkie Pie directed the door out as I slump to the ground, dragging my body behind. The thunder boomed as the lightning crackled. I see many stores shutting down as I look side to side, drops of rain cooling my indigo mane. I finally arrive home, covering myself warm with my green jacket.

'What's wrong Twilight?" she sighed at Spike, who was patting her back. "What is l-luvve?" Spike took a step back. "Love? You're looking for the definition of love? Easy. Somebody you like. But you like them more than usual. That's all." Spike made it sound simple. "Either way Twilight, Princess Celestia wrote a letter to you." I turned around, feeling a shudder go underneath my skin and a single warmth covering me. I hang the wet green jacket on the silver coat rack and wave my arms. "G-Go on."

"Okay.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I know you have mastered friendship, but there is a next step to this. Once you master this, your life won't be a misery. Come visit me.
- From,
Princess Celestia."
Spike nodded.

"Looks like the highness wants you to be there at her castle." Spike whispered. "I heard." she calmly replies.

I open my window, only to find the sun glaring to it's fullest, and a bunch of fillies playing tag outside. I trot all the way to a far away place, but only to find a dusty old wooden sign hanging with a engraved word: Serguilia. The damp treehouses and bugs swatted at her face. Luckily, she had found a villager wandering her paths.

"Excuse moi, but where is the nearest exit to Canterlot? I seem to be lost here." I spoke to the nearby villager. "R-right over there, by the wildlife reserve." the strange accented woman had pointed all the way into a scary looking woods.

I took a chance, speeding through all the looming trees and sounds. Her sweat left a trail past all the leaves rustling in the ground. Crack! My leg had been bruised by a poisonous thorn. I don't care. As long as Princess Celestia is safe, I don't care. On the end of the trail, was a peep of sunlight poking through all the bushes and trees. I sped for the exit, quickly making it out.

For such a short notice, that was easy. Since it was worth it, I decide to walk around, enjoying the scenery, the tensity from the wildlife reserve all disappearing into thin air. For once, I smile. Then, just as Pinkie said- I caught the apple of my eye. A tall young pony with blue and purple streaks and and a shiny horn as long as a pickle. His hair flounced as he fixed his bow tie, laughing and interacting with the other marketers. His pocket held a handkerchief, neatly wiping his face from any mess. Then, he looked my way.

Noticing him, I run all the way to the castle, where the water falls down into a deep cavern. I knock politely on the golden entrance with my hoof, and an dignitary sir leads me to the throne, where the princess was momentarily waiting.

"Princess," I sigh. "You called?" She rubs her chin. "Oh my goodness! You're hurt!" With a lift of her horn, my bruise disappears. She slowly waved a hearty welcome, and covered my skin with her pastel colored hair. The sun was at it's full power, causing Celestia's cutie mark to glow it's brightest orange. "The next step to friendship is..." Silence. "Love."

"Did you find yours? Your l-o-v-e? Say it out Twilight. Looove." Celestia asks.
"Yes... I sorta found him... But there's no compromise. I haven't even properly talked to him, or formed a bond with him either." I replied, her cheeks were blushing pinkish- red at the moment.

"Every pony loves. Sisters, friends, guests..." Celestia went on. "I-I love you, Twilight."
The silence returned.
"I loved you too, Princess. I don't know why, but there's a strong bond with me and you. I'd risk my whole life to save you!" I responded, blurting out my feelings of her.

"Twilight, I can't be your pair. It's the rules, and I'm sure there's more boys you can chase. Canterlot is a beautiful place where all the fancy boys are. Charming ones too." Celestia gritted her teeth, showing a big grin. "But I want a handsome pony, who ain't all that fancy. One ordinary guy." I argued, thinking of the incident that happened with Prince Blueblood and Rarity. Celestia nodded. "I know you'll find him. He's out there somewhere, your dream guy." I instantly obeyed her task and ran out to find "him."

So, I did. He was easy to find- at the pony theme park. I tapped his back to catch his attention. "Hello?" Moon Swift responded. "H-Hi... What's your name again?" I stuttered. Not a good start. "Moon Swift's the name," he smiled modestly. "Would you like to go on the Pony Wheel?" he asked. "Yeah! I mean, yeah... sure." she tried to act as cool as she could. "Here's a ticket. I'm glad to go on with you!" he clenched his teeth again, and handed out a pink ticket. The ticket vendor pony stamped the ticket, with a bloody red color. The coaster was about a few hundred feet, a zig-zag kind of type. Moon Swift and I slowly entered the machine, the sunlight breeze hitting the waves on me and him.

"Buckle up, uhh..?" he murmured. "Twilight Sparkle." I said, proudly. "Right. So... What's your fave color? I like blue." "I like Indigo." I insisted. He turned around. "Uhh so...." he blushed. "Awesome!" I thought. Rarity had told me on boy advice. When one blushes, that means he's crushing on you. Soon, he'll hold my hand, and someday, he'll propose to me with an amazing ruby ring!

The roller coaster went on, the speed of the roller coaster accelerating every single turn, twist, and zig zag. I closed my eyes, about to barf, but Moon quickly helped me breathe with an air bag. When the ride was over, I simply waited for him to come out. He held my hand tight. I blushed. "So... do you..." he slwoly went on. "Uh huh?" I questioned. "Wanna be my girlfriend?"

My arms and hooves started to shiver- he actually said it! My eyelashes blinked twice, and in a split second- "Yes! I say yes! Yes yes yes, yes yes yes!" I screamed.

"More to be discovered!"
