Socially Awkward Situation [Concluded]

[~Silly CC~]

((AHH I love it xP))

Skai listened intently, then nodded and smiled. She'd heard of Professor Goldstar before, though most was dread of the highly exhausting classes. She smiled as he mentioned the botanically-studied stallion, and she nodded calmly.

He sounds quite nice. I suppose I might be able to come tonight, though my mother might be getting worried soon. I suppose a letter wouldn't take to long to send, as I've never been much for fast flying.

She giggled a bit and brushed some hair out of her eyes. Biting her lip, she thought about telling the unicorn about her therapy, though maybe he didn't want to know. Maybe he'd be weirded out by how much she'd changed since foalhood, or perhaps it was just too soon. She slightly shook her head, deciding against it for the time being. Glancing to the pond in the park, then back to Afterglow she smiled again.

So you live in Canterlot, I presume? I myself live in a low cottage in Cloudsdale. Oh, wait, did I mention that before? Oh well. Heheh...well, I, uh, I'm not sure what else I can say. But you say you took lessons at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns? Interesting!

She nodded and grinned, truly intrigued by what stories might come from the highly famed school. Though this pony was shy, she yearned to know a bit about the magic her own father used, especially the gossamer wings her mother flew with each day. That particular thought sticking in her brain, she spent on and inquired about such.

Say, did Professor Goldstar ever try to teach you about those beautiful gossamer and dewdrop wings that a unicorn can make with enough practice? My mother, herself, wears a pair upon her back; thanks to my unicorn father.

Her smile broadened as she thought of her dear and caring parents, whose support had inched her out of her shell over time—not to mention the therapist. Both really helped, though.

[Afterglow]

AfterGlow propped himself leaning against the tree as she talked eyes widening when she mentioned the probability of visiting tonight.

"No no I don't think t-that would be a good idea you see Mort was working yesterday on some new brews he read about and may have tried mixing Stench Leaf with Bomb Root extract long story short the Apothecaries is being fumigated today and tonight. B-but i mean its not all bad i probably might not have come to the p-park today if that hadn't happened" Afterglow blushed a bit on the last sentence and quickly tried to change the subject.

"I figured that you probably lived in Clouds Dial most pegasus in these parts do and as for me well i guess i do have a place in Canterlot" He lifted the spell that kept his saddle bag hidden from view and  dug through it a bit producing a elegantly crafted key that had the number 101 stamped into it.


"Room one o one first floor first door to the left. Thats where iv lived most of my young adult life but besides that my family has a place in Trottingham and Mainhatten but as of right now i guess you could say im on Academic leave for privet study at least thats what the Prof. had set up for me he's really not so bad once you get to know him but to be 13 years old and in a one on one class with that pony i wouldn't wish that fate upon anypony and i was only there because Mary Silverscroll was my academic adviser. O' and about the wing spell well Gossamer was hell bent on me learning it but...." Afterglow rubbed his head remembering all the long painful falls that Gossamer claimed to be part of the learning curve.

"Lets just say that he had to settle for me learning a cloud walking spell." Afterglow sat there awkwardly for a moment trying to think of a topic.

"I Might be seeing everypony from school again soon the school's annul gala is coming up in about 8 days and even though i'm on academic leave its kinda mandatory any pony who's ever bin connected with the school shows up a lot of the alumni come and even family and friends of students show up but i don't think i-i-i'm going to go this year." A solum expression came over his face.

((Sorry I haven't responded! School 'n' stuff))

Skai nodded calmly, listening to every word the colt said. She was disappointed that she couldn't see how this unicorn lived, because she wanted to help and be kind in any way possible, but she understood and was not going to push it.

Ah, that's fine. It was just...I'm sorry for trying to invite myself over. Heh.[/color]

She blushed and listened again, nodding and smiling as he concluded the fact she had stated moments ago. She was quite curious as she listened to his talks of his magic, and of how he could not seem to get the wing spell down. A cloud walking spell was second to none, though, so she was happy that he could learn such a helpful spell. As he spoke of his declination of the gala, she shook her head and looked at him intently. She spoke firmly, though still with the soft manner she always had.

How can you decline such a thing? To be there is a great privilege, and I'd go if I were a student. You shouldn't say no to this, even if you feel it's best! Of course if you feel sick or out of sorts, that's a whole other thing entirely, but in perfect condition, anypony should feel inclined to go!

She nodded, then slunk back into her regular shy position, and added in a whisper.

Well, I mean, only if you wanna...heh

[Afterglow]

(wow its bin forever sry i was so busy with RL that i got out of touch with RP)

"W-well its not that i don't want to go its just well i don't have any pony to." Afterglows horn began to shine a dim red and then blue. "I mean going sure does sound like fun. Id get to see Ms. Silverscroll and no matter what i say about the professor it would still be nice to see him agin after all he did for me." The more he spoke of this event the more nervous he seemed to get pink blue and red spirals flickering from his horn in every direction but even unbeknown to him his nervousness wasn't regarding the Galla but rather the question that he wanted to ask but before he was bale to pop it a Dark green pony with deep gray hair came dashing into the park quickly spotting the nervous beacon atop afterglows head. 

"There you are yung'in we need your help down at the shop and quick that stank attracted nasty locust and we could use a bit of that magic of yours."

With the shock of seeing Mort Afterglow shot a pink beam straight up into the tree severing a few leaves and burning yet another hole in the lone cloud. Without a second thought he jumped to his hooves leaving a envelope on the ground and dashed away in the direction Mort had come from nearly putting the old pony in a spin "This was lovely sorry i couldn't stay. Same Time next week?" he shouted but he was out of view before Sky could even answer. A shrug of the shoulders was all mort could offer before he did the same. With closer inspection the envelope left on the ground was a tan parchment color and was stamped with the royal seal of Celestias school for gifted unicorns and appeared to have already of bin opened by some pony els.

((Yaaaaayy hi ))

Skai nodded, but he was too far away from him for him to see it. She took a breath and called after him in a voice not known to her calm personality.

Sure! It was really nice to meet you! I'll see you in the park, then?

She set her hoof to the ground again and watched for his reaction, hoping he'd have one. She was disappointed it had to end so quickly, but it had a been a lovely time. She was curious if she'd ever be able to see that unicorn colt again. He was such a kind, gentle soul (much like herself), and she seemed to have related very well with him. She wondered if he had felt anything towards her, as she could read emotions fairly well. He had seemed very shy, though she didn't know if that was just her, and he had acted a bit flustered at times. As she didn't know the colt well, she couldn't assume anything.

Sighing, she went back through the park, fluttering a few inches off the ground, and skimmed the water over the pond. She gasped, as she hadn't noticed the water, but it was a small pond, and she had already passed over it before the shock even began. She could she a faint glint of Cloudsdale in the distance, so she flapped her wings faster and headed towards her home, still thinking about Afterglow.

((Is it over? Or do you still have a post or two to fit in?))
