Bramble Rose Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Purple Haze groaned, but them stomped out of the bush, the fur on the back of her neck prickling. [colour=#ff8c00]"Oi'm nae yer baby sis!"[/colour] she cried out, [colour=#ff8c00]"Oi'm roit nearly a full-grown mare!"[/colour] cried the little filly indignantly, obviously exaggerating a little. [colour=#ff8c00]"Oi've me own cutie mark an' everything!"[/colour]With an instant shifting of emotion, she turned to Bolt with a great big smile, holding out her hoof in greeting. [colour=#ff8c00]"Aye! Oi'm Purple haze, nice tae meet ye! An' Oi dinnae do much, jes a few things me big brae fergot. He's always fergettin' stuff when he's all twitterpated over somepony! Are ye ginnae be datin' him now?"[/colour] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Carrot Fields stood there frozen. He wanted to bolt, he wanted to squeeze his eyes shut in preparation for the hoofsmack across the muzzle he so richly deserved, he just wanted it to end so he could craw into a hole in the Everfree forest; lord of the dumbtails.Instead, something completely unexpected happened! At least to him.Bolt wasn’t angry, hurt, or upset; instead she appeared to take to his little sister. More amazingly, she took to what his sister had done! Carrot was dumbfounded, but quickly shook himself out of it. Now wasn’t the time for his all too regular self-doubt to take reign again; the last thing he wanted to do is question Bolt on this because of his own apprehension, and instead just accepted that she was fine with it. Especially given that her response just demonstrated his feelings towards her to be valid; she was wonderful! He couldn’t blow the opportunity just hoofed to him now!Carrot just chuckled as Purple Haze protested the word baby used in any description of her, even one of affection. [colour=#ff8c00]“Yeah, she is mah yoonger sister purple haze an' apparently mah shadaw too e'en if she is supposed tae be at haem daein' 'er hamework fur school!” [/colour]Carrot rubbed Purple’s mane affectionately to show he was no longer upset; well, mostly.Everything looked like it was going to work out after all. Despite the oddity of the night, thanks to his wonderful sister. That is until his clueless sister asked that question! Seeesh! She is as blunt as their sire but without the social tact to avoid awkward situations! Or worse, purposely create them! [colour=#ff8c00]“Err.. umm, waw Purple Haze don’t ye hink 'at is a wee inappropriate an' presumptuoos!? Ah wanted tae shaw a kin' an' bonnie pony mah favorite pastime, ye shooldn’t be forcin' onie matchmakin'!”[/colour]Carrot turned to Bolt, blushing, [colour=#ff8c00]“She can be a wee forward wi' 'er thooghts, heh! she didn’t mean anythin' by it, nae 'at.. ye ken, Ah wooldn’t want tae, jist hate tae see ye oan th' spot!”[/colour] He could just hope she wasn't uncomfortable now!

RCTwilightSparkle Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Bolt was a bit thrown when little Haze started getting mad at her brother for calling her a foal. It did seem like she was at the perfect age to start feeling like a big mare and not a little filly anymore. Trying to make the situation a little less awkward, Bolt just tucked in her wings and looked very interested in some leaves that were next to her.Luckily, Haze didn't seem to have much shouting to do and quickly turned her attention to Bolt; the filly was right back to being all smiles. Bolt shook Haze's hoof, but it wasn't long before Haze asked a question that Bolt wasn't entirely sure how to answer. [colour=#FF40FF]"Oh.. um.. well"[/colour] she paused to let Carrot speak; at this point she was blushing like crazy. Bolt's cheeks were felt hot and she was pretty sure that there was no way to wiggle out of this one. It would have been nice to have a little more time to think, and talk and maybe have all of this dating stuff come up in private. Unfortunately, life has a way of making lovely moments imperfect; but in the end, those moments still tend to be very nice to look back on.It felt like now or never, she'd just have to say how she felt in front of Haze and hope that Carrot felt the same way. With another nervous half smile and a slight shake in her voice, she looked Carrot right in the eyes [colour=#FF40FF]"I... If Carrot... wants to?"[/colour] She had a lot of trouble getting those words out, and it came out like a very awkward question.The three ponies stood there and Bolt opened her mouth like she had more to say but then just closed it again, completely unsure of what to do now. What she really wanted to do was tell Carrot just how much she really liked him, and how much she really did want to date him. Something about having Carrot's little sister there just made the whole thing too hard. So, she took a deep breath and smiled shyly, waiting for Carrot to say something.

Bramble Rose Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Purple Haze's eyes got really big at Bolt's shy admission, and she quivered in excited glee, her big, shining eyes turning up to look at her big brae! Oh, finally! A mare who could see past Carrot's dorky awkwardness and would give him a chance like he deserved, and could see him as Purple did: As the bestest stallion in the whole world! They were gonna have an awkward, romantically adorkable relationship and get in a couple fights and misunderstandings and then come out of them stronger and he'd rescue her from timber wolves and she'd save him from falling and they'd fall desperately in love and get married and provide Purple with a whole clan of lil' nieces and nephews!...At least, if Carrot ever got around to opening his big, dumb mouth and *saying* anything! Purple looked to Bolt and to Carrot and to Bolt and to Carrot and then she trotted over around behind Carrot and gave him a good, strong shoulder-check right into the rump to spur him to SAY SOMETHING!

brianblackberry Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Carrot Fields hoped explaining how Purple Haze can be too blunt would allow Bolt to opt out of responding to his little sister, instead the beautiful pink pegasus mare actually answered Purple. She didn't say anything about dating per se but she made it clear enough that even the dumbest of the dumbtails could understand her feelings, even Carrot! [colour=#ff8c00]Me! Me! she picked me! Ah didne hae tae ask 'er, she picked me! Wa woods she want tae go out wi' me? Stop bein' a dumbtail Carrot, she obvioosly likes ye jist as much as ye loch 'er![/colour] Despite all the gray earth stallion's inner dialog, to all outward appearances he was just standing there with a big goofy grin on his muzzle.Truth was the twitterpatted stallion would have stood there like that for a good long while if left to his own devices, not saying a thing save for the huge blush and ridiculous grin on his face. However, as indecisive as Carrot could be, his just-as-decisive sister wouldn't have any of that, and she gave him a good, hard flank-bump to say something!Carrot stumbled forward on clumsy hooves at the sudden impact, eyes and mouth snapping open as he tripped. While his front hooves got tangled up, he nonetheless didn't fall, and it took him a moment to realize it was because he was propped up against Bolt, his lips pressed to hers. And that startled him enough that he didn't even try to regain balance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
