"Hey anon! Ha... Ha.. so I know we never really talk and alll.... but"
>She starts blushing and looking way from you towards the ground
"Uh... Do you wanna go and... um... Check out some books with me? Theyre really cool. I though of you when I got them!"
>Shes almost shivering now. Whats gotten into her? She looks almost petrified, as if shes going to die if you deny her request
"Of course! Id love to go! Let go right now!"
>You both awkwardly trot across town enjoying each others silent company while keeping a stable distance of a few feet between each other
>You get to the library and both make your way into the door together, noticeably closer and now even making small talk
>She offers you a seat next to hers by the window on the side of the old hollow oak and you happily oblige, falling carelessly into the seat
>she does the same
>you both stare into each others eyes, hers a deep illustrious purple. Almost hypnotizing.
>She appears to be hypnotized as well
>After a moment of staring you both break the engagement with a shallow laugh
"ha... oh Anon... uh here that... um book I thought you would like!"
"I found it in the old archives. I looked forever."
>That was strange because you had never told her of your home, and you never even mentioned your fancy for Tolkien.
>She must have asked Pinky, the only one who you are good friends with in this forsaken villa.
>Time goes on and you are both enjoying the good read almost as much as you are enjoying each other.
>After some laughter from one of your bad jokes, she stares you in the eyes and asks
"Hey, have you any special somepony on your mind? Hearts and hooves day is coming up"
>and with that you reply a soft "maybe" but neglect to elaborate. You then begin to tell another story with twilight listening enthusiastically
>Evening ends with twilight leaning delicately over you, as she had fallen asleep on your shoulder
>you couldnt remove the innocent unicorn from your lap, as she was much to content and cute

>its mid winter and its the sunday before hearts and hooves day
>you and twilight have been spending so much time together. everytime you see her a little fire lights up inside you.
>you dont know what it is, but you know there is something special between you too.
>todays the day
>you are going to make that beautiful purple mare your special somepony
>you knock on her wooden door.
"Oh hey Twilight! Hows it going!"
"Oh hi.... Sorry but I have some important studying to do. Im really late on this research for... uh celestia"
>you notice some ruffling inside which is wierd because spike is at Rarities. You gave him a flower from youre bouquet to give to rarity.
>Its probably nothing. There is a whole two days until Hearts and whooves day.
>It can wait untill tomorrow
>she'll still be there anyway.
>Disappointing you leave, but you're spirits perk up when you remember the flowers you have waiting for her tomorrow
>The day go' on. You comfort spike after his inevitable rejection. You help pinkie bake a cake with a friendly blue colt.
>Well it seems she found a special somepony
>Soon you will too
>First thing monday you rush over to twilights, neglecting to even wear a scarf
>You are so excited to ask her. Your hearts pounding like a piston, your palms are sweaty, mind is full with anxious thoughts.
>Too busy to knock you barge in.
>No one
>It looks like twilight is at canterlot.
>that research must be very important for her to leave on a holiday week
>Tomorrow will come again.
>You head home.

>Very next morning you head straight to twilights. Ready to ask her to the ball tonight at the Apples barn
>you cant wait. This will be the best Tuesday of your life
>First is the morning walk in the park with the other couples
>you cant wait to see the look on pinkies face when you show up with THE twilight sparkle
>Then comes the feast in the afternoon
>Cupcakes, hot chocolate. So many delicious foods to share with your special somepony all provided by the loving cakes couple
>then the ball
>Youre not sure if her saying yes, or the inevitable romantic dance you will share with her will be the highlight of the night
>either way, it will be the best night ever
>then comes the after party. Then maybe even a trip back to your place with her
>You are almost lost in sweet thoughts to notice twilight bounding from her house towards you
>You cant believe it! Shes going to ask me to the ball! I knew it! This is the best day ever!
"So remember when we were talking about hearts and hooves day! Well its today!"
>Youre so excited. Its actually happening. The mare of your dreams, your about to spend the best day ever with her!
>you reach around into your backpack to retrieve the flowers when she starts talking
"Youll never guess what happened!"
>this dosnt seem right. Shes not hugging you. she dosnt stand as close as before. She does not even look you in the eye
>Oh no.
"I found my special some pony! Can you believe it! Hes in the royal guard! Shining Armor told me about him!"
"Ive been spending the past few days with him and we really have something special!"
>In an instant your world falls apart. You drop your flowers and your heart crumbles
>You cant help but stare into the horizon as twilight trots off to the train station to meet her date
>You fall to the ground onto of your bouquet, crushing them beneath your heavy soul
>As you hear the train roll on, your dreams flow away
>Tuesdays gone with the wind, here come those tears again.
