>It had been a whole 3 weeks since you met Posey 
>It wasn't a pleasant first encounter 
>You met her at the library
>"Ahem"
>You turned around and met those lime green eyes for the first time 
Hello there, may I help you?
>Ponies often had a hard time reaching the higher levels of the bookshelves
>So, it was a decent guess that this yellow mare was about to ask for some assistance 
>"Yes, you can by leaving my home." 
>I gave her a look of confusion 
Excuse me?
>She took a step forward with her front hoof stomping the ground. 
>"I said you can help by leaving my home."
>Memories of your childhood started to flood in
>Those times where you had to move to different schools after every damn semester cause Dad had to move because of his job
>Always the new kid
>Always the one getting bullied
>It only stopped when you stood up for yourself 
>Without a second thought you stepped forward
>The mare was taken a back
>You were taller than her and the quick shift from a smile to a frown of annoyance must have frightened her
>Her frown turned into worry 
>"I-I uhhh"
>She took a step back and just looked at you 
>You took a deep breath and took a step back too
I'm sorry, I just don't like bullies...
>You grab the two books and walk right past her
>As you are going through self-checkout you feel like you are being watched 
>You turn around and see the same mare 
>She is looking at you with an inquisitive look
What do you want miss?
>She is shaken out of her thoughts
>"I just wanted to know why you are checking out those books."
>You look at the books and then to her
I always read up on the history of my new home
>She cringes 
>"You live here?"
>You sigh
Yes, I just moved here a few hours ago.
>You grab your books and look at your watch 
I need to get going because I don't have any food at my apartment and the only shop near me closes in about 25 minutes.
>She rises her eyebrow
>"Is it Sol market?"
Yes, it is. Care to tell me about some recommendations on bake goods?
>She rolls her eyes
>"I don't shop at a store ran by unicorns."
>She flicks her tail 
>"If you want good food, only eat food stuffs made the earth pony way."
>She takes her leave
>But before she passes you, she stops dead in her tracks
>"I can show you if you'd like."
>You cross your arms 
Sure, if you promise to explain that little outburst you had a few moments ago.
>She rolled her eyes and sighed 
>"Yea, let's go before the late-night rolls are gone." 
>She flicks her tail once and begins to lead the way

>Posey opened the door and held it open for you
Thank you
>"Don't mention it, ehhh..?"
>She paused for a moment, waiting for you to catch that social que
It's Anon
>She blinked a few times 
>"That's a name..." 
Yup, now about those "late night rolls"... what exactly are they?
>Posey's face lit up with joy
>"They are the best midnight snack anypony can have!"
>"You have a few choices that include stuffing your roll with melted chocolate, apple pie filling, cinnamon with cream, and even cheese!" 
>>"There are so many opinions and they're all so good!"
>You couldn't help but smile as the mare beamed with excitement 
Well now I have to try them all and compare them to my own baking
>Posey's causal trot turned into a skip 
>Her entire demeanor shifted
>She got starry eyed by the mere comment of you being a baker
>"Oh, really now?"
>"What other things can you do?"
>You shifted your books to your left arm, and placed your right hand on your chin to think for a moment
Well, I can play the guitar, draw, cook, and garden.
>You chuckle at the last comment 
By gardening I meant more in the sense of maintaining a small spice and herb garden
Lastly, I wouldn't count playing videos games and tabletop as they are more of a hobby really
>Posey nodded with a smile with every activity and hobby you listed
What about you?
>Posey looked to the side with worrying expression 
>"Promise not to laugh?"
I don't laugh at other people's passions
>Posey looked right at you with a blush 
>"I really like to sing and dance."
>"I have an old record and CD collection that I often go to when I am feeling..." 
>You took a few steps forwarded and soon noticed that Posey was no longer at your side
>You turned around and notice that she had stopped just a few steps behind you
Are you okay?
>Posey looked at you with the same untrusting eyes as before 
>"Why are you doing this Anon?"
>"Other ponies would've told me to brush off or ignore me after an outburst like that."
>"Yet here we still talking."
>You sigh
Because this isn't the first time, I've experienced something like this
I told you I was bullied while growing up and then I experienced the cold shoulder when I first came to the land of magical talking horses
>You cross your arms and look up to the now full moon
I can look passed a road bump if I can see a genuine individual before me
I don't really know how else to say it without being socially retarded
>Posey's expression softens 
>"That's okay Anon, and if we are being honest with each other right now."
>"I can be over the top at times..."
>You take a look at your watch
Let's just forget about that outburst, and let's get a few of those midnight rolls
>Posey nodded 
>"I can use some chocolate right about now"

>Right before we turned the corner the scent of freshly baked bread greeted my nose 
>I took a look at Posey and noticed a small smile that began to grow 
>"It's just around the corner, and it smells like a fresh batch just came out!"
>Posey began to skip again and you hurried your step to keep up with her pace 
>As you turned the corner, your eyes locked on to the bakery
>"Pan de la noche" you whispered to yourself 
>Some old memories began to flood in but before they could manifest Posey poked you
>"Is there something wrong?"
Oh, it's nothing
>Posey raised her eyebrow for second but her expression switched back into a smile 
>"Well then let's hurry before the rush gets here!"
>Posey led the way and you slowly followed 
>Opening the door, the bakery smelled like fresh bread, hot chocolate, and cinnamon 
>Posey waved at one of the bakers and then walked over a table that had a stack of trays 
>With some patience and a well timed flick of her tail the tray went up in the air then landed on Posey's back 
>She smiled, proud of her feat and then turned towards you
>"Grab a tray Anon and pick the ones you like!"
>Posey went right for the chocolate stuffed rolls
>You grabbed a tray and went over to the cinnamon rolls display 
>In ten minutes the two of you had a bag filled with rolls and some hot chocolate to boot
>All you had to do was find a place to sit at to dig in 
>The night was young and luckily the stars were out
>The two of you sat by each other overlooking the beach and gazing at the stars 
>"Despite the circumstances, I'm glad I bumped into you anon."
>You took a bite out of one of your cinnamon rolls and nodded to Posey 
Same here, and I'm glad that you trusted me enough to share this spot with me
>You pointed out towards the horizon where the moon mirrored the waves
I mean look at how beautiful that looks
>Posey began to laugh 
>"It really is something to behold..."
>You take a drink of hot chocolate and then turn to look at Posey 
What are you up to this weekend?
>Immediately Posey blushes 
>"I am gonna reorganize my records and CDs."
>You shurg at the comment
No biggie, I just wanted to know if you were available to hang out again
>Posey grabbed one of chocolate rolls and took a bite out of it
>You went back to looking at the moon and smiled 
Even if this is a one time thing, I'm glad that I got to atleast experience it with someone 
>You felt a hoof poke you, and you turned to face Posey 
>She was chewing the other piece of the roll that was left 
>Her words came out as slightly muffled due to her nervously chewing 
>"Would you like to help me with organizing my stuff?"
Of course
>She swallowed her nervousness away and looked away 
>"Let's meet here then tomorrow at 10am"
>She looked right back at you
>"And no funny business!"
>Posey looked down and rubbed her left fore hoof with her right one 
>"I am not that type of mare."
>You took another drink and then nodded 
I didn't take you for that type either
>Posey sighed
>"Good cause the last one that tried to make a move on me got bucked in a very sensitive spot 
>You glupped and played one of your hands on said area
