private 1x1 Romance (Blueman15 & BionicBrony) [DONE]

[BionicBrony 385]

Emerald blinked and shook her little head, scared out of her mind by the memories. No, the past is the past. The further s the future. They don't mix. She smiled weakly and nodded, "yep, just thinking." She giggled, "mom always aid I was an avid thinker..." She chuckled.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Really? my mom said that too. My parents always said I had my head in the clouds, literally and metaphorically!" *He laughed.* "Ah, my parents were a little blunt sometimes, but I still love 'em." *He said, his thoughts drifting off to his childhood. He shook his head and tried to stay focused on the present. He took his hay burger and took a bite out of it, chewed, then swallowed." "Mmm, not bad!" *He said with a satisfied smile.* "So, how'd you get into the floral business? *He asked, trying to make conversation.*

[BionicBrony 385]

Blinking a little, she thought about that question. That invovled...a very personal part of her past. She thoguht of how to word this and not arouse suspicsion, "I met a stallion and he gave me a bouquet of flowers. I obtained my cutie mark after I began growing more of them in my backyard, and then I started to flower shop."

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Oh how sweet!" *He responded.* "Always love a little love story. Certainly a more interesting story then a little colt beating his older brother at a video game to obtain his mark. " *He continued as he looked down at his own cutie mark. He then took another bite of his food and looked at the restaurant clock.* "Hmm, still have 10 minutes until I have to get back to work, is there anything you would like to talk about?"

[BionicBrony 385]

Oh, there was a lot she wanted to talk about. She wanted to tell him all about the pain that she was completely going through. About why she really started flowers. About why she didn't bring up her family. About why itw as that she was scared to do anything. She wanted to spill it badly.

"No, not really." She smiled, "What video game was it?"

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Hm, I think it was Coltémon Stadium for the Neightendo 64." *He replied while reminiscing his foalhood.* "My brother had always been better at Coltémon then me, so when I finally beat him after months of playing with him, I obtained the mark, and realized my passion and competitiveness for gaming." *He sighed, remembering about his older brother. He then glanced at the clock in the restaurant and sighed once again.* "1:29," *He started.* "Well speaking of gaming, I need to head back to work. It was really nice to meet and have some lunch with you, maybe we can do this again sometime?" *He said, with a smile."

[BionicBrony 385]

She blinked. Again? Really? She shook a little bit and she decided to nod. She gently smiled, "I live above the shop, so just stop by!" She slowly closed her eyes and fought back a shudder. Then she stood and smiled once more, and left the little resturant with a nod to him.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*He sat there for a little bit, with conflicting emotions running through his head.* "Wait, did she really mean that? Does she actually mind seeing me again? I didn't sound too stupid did I?" *He quietly asked himself. He then shook his head, and stood up and walked out, then taking to the skies to get back to work.* "Aye, Blue, don't screw this up. She's the only one who actually showed interest in being your friend." *He said to himself internally. It's true though, in his time since he moved to Ponyville, he's had trouble making friends. Sure, he knew the shop regulars, but never really got to know them. He landed in front of 'DM's Game and Hobby Shop' and walked in, ready to get back to work, with his mind still occasionally going back to the day's earlier events.*

[BionicBrony 385]

-The Following Day-

 

Blinknig her sleep out of her eyes, she slowly lifted her head out of her little bed and yawned, trying to let her body adjust to the new morning. She dragged herself up and down into her shop, taking a brush and magically brushing herself. she groaned and finally managed to get ready to sell flowers, in which she oepned the the window and startred her day.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Meh, fine, I'm getting up..." *Blue said as he slammed his hoof on his alarm clock. When he opened his eyes, the clock read '8:55'.* "AH! I'm going to be late for work!" *He shouted to nopony in particular. He shot himself out of bed, quickly grabbed his hoodie, and galloped out the door without brushing his name or eating any breakfast.* "I need to eat something!" *He said to himself, as he took off flying towards that morning market.* "Wait, Emerald Shine runs her shop near the market, I'll go see if she knows any places there to get a good breakfast!" *He reminded himself, and he shot off towards the place where he met the mare the previous day. He then arrived and landed, panting heavily* "Hey... there... Emerald..." *He managed in between breaths.*

[BionicBrony 385]

Emerald yawned and closed her eyes, about to fall asleep once more when suddenly she was able to hear again. His voice cut through her tiredness and she looked up.

Oh Celestia, he really was serious.

She stammered, "H-h-h-hi!" She honestly hadn't expected him to come back! "How are you?"

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Tired, sore, but not important right now," *He replied, out of breath. He then took a couple deep breaths, before being able to speak again.* "Late for work, need breakfast, any quick recommendations?" *He managed to pant out, before taking some more quieter deep breaths.*

[BionicBrony 385]

Moaning a little bit, she lifted her head up and tried to hold her head so that she was able to stay calm. She yawned and hugged her little frame tightly. She looked at him and blinked the sleep out of her eyes, "Uh...Trotin' Waffles is really good...I konw that it's really corny name but it's a good place."

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Thanks, you're a life saver! *He responded.* "Oh and you seem tired, maybe try some coffee?" *He added, before turning around.* "Sorry, gotta run, bye!" *He waved quickly, before taking off towards Trotin' Waffles.* "She seemed a little annoyed." *He thought to himself.* "Maybe I should be a little less energetic. Don't want this to end up like the other times." *He then halted to a stop in front of Trotin Waffles, bought a quick waffle, and headed off to work, hopefully not to get scolded by Dungeon.*

[BionicBrony 385]

In all honesty, her breath was tigthening in her chest. Not another stallion. Stallinos lied. they cheated. They were evil. They were driven by their lust filled minds until finally she was no longer able to cotnrol them. They weren't...they weren't trustworthy.

So why did she fell this way towards him?

She scolded herself and took a cold shower, hopefully scaring herself frigid. She finally emerged, awake and shivering, and took her place at the counter and began selling some daisies.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Blue?" *He heard a voice call, and something sharp, yet dull poking at his shoulder. He looked at what or who was poking at him.* "Oh, Spike, when'd you get there?" *He asked the young dragon.* "You've been standing there staring at the wall of card boxes for 5 minutes. Anyways, can you get me a box of 'Harmony: The Gathering' cards? Twilight gave me some extra bits today." *Spike asked. As Blue got him his box and his payment, he remembered what he was thinking about: The previous day.* "Ugh, what's going on with me lately?"

[BionicBrony 385]

Emerald realized she had no way to contact him. Probably for the best. She couldn't talk to another stallion. Not after Fad Tracer. Not afte rthat stallion...betrayed her. Not ever again. She couldn't take that pain again. It'd rip her apart inside. She sighed and looked down, holding her head in her hooves.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*It was Blue's Lunch hour, he went and retrieved his hoodie, and walked to the market. He thought of stopping by and saying 'Hi' to Emerald Shine.* "No, it's best to take this slowly." *He thought to himself. He went towards the Sweet Apple Acres stand and bought himself two Granny Smith apples, his favorite. The stand was also near Emerald Shine's shop, and he saw her selling her flowers. He offered a friendly wave and smile and turned to go back to the shop and eat lunch.*

[BionicBrony 385]

Emerald saw him quickly and she smiled. As she tried to think about him, she waved so as not to be rude. She sighed a little inside. HE was so nice. So gentle. And caring. But...no. Not after Fad Tracer. Not after him. She couldn't do anyting and it hurt her. She couldn't become in love.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*As the clock rang, signaling it was seven in the evening, Blue went and grabbed his jacket and went back into the shop, where Spike, Snips, and Featherweight were playing their game.* "Hey guys, time to close up shop." *He said to them. They nodded and collected their stuff, and walked out, with Blue following, and locking the door behind him. He then proceeded towards his home, choosing a nice stroll over flying.*

Emerald, instead, was simply relaxing in front of her litle desk, taking the chance to just lay down on the floor and curl up and get that much needed sleep she cvraved. She was going ot when the sound of clopping hooves made her stand up, "Uh hello welcometoemerald'sdelight!" she slurred, sleepy.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*Blue turned and looked to who had spoken, and saw it was Emerald. She looked tired and by the sound of her voice, she indeed was very tired.* "Uh, Emerald?" *He started.* "Are you ok? You seem a bit tired." *He asked with a bit of concern in his voice, knowing how sleep deprivation can affect a pony.*

She blinked, then gently gave herself a kick under the counter. She hadn't honestly slept well ever since that fateful week, three months ago. She hadn't gotten a wink of sleep last night, and dark bags hung from her eyes. She yawned and smiled and smiled to hide it, "oh, I'm *yawn* fine."

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*He wasn't convinced, from the bags under her eyes and yawn, it seemed she had been deprived of a good night's sleep, but he decided not to push forward.* "Well alright then, try to get a good night's sleep tonight though, it looks like you haven't slept in ages. Good night Emerald." *He said with a smile and a quick wave and he continued his stroll home to get his own sleep.*

[BionicBrony 385]

Emerald blinked and she knew she wouldn't get any sleep. That night. She sighed inwardly as she slowly dragged her limp body into bed. She shut her eyes, but chaoitc images were assailng her. She groaned and looked away, her body starting to want to sleep, but her mind refusing. Another night.
