The Great Fry Fencing Fite!

Star Silk was a shy pony, keeping to herself mostly but as she sat there in her home desk, quill feather at the tip of her chin as she reflected, she couldn't help but do a little doodle to express her thoughts before writing a note."Dear Magnolia Holiday"She'd pause. This was awkward. I mean. Who even does this? What if it comes off as creepy or stalkerish?She'd imagine Gray's slow, approving smile as these depressing thoughts tried to sneak in. She'd briskly shake her head as if to throw them away."Remember when we talked about friendship? Well, I couldn't help but overhear what a certain gloomy pony had to say about it. I had to leave at the last moment, but the sound in your voice as you imagined the world as such a dark place where people only want to be your friend due to personal interests was so heartbreaking, that it remained with me even though I tried to leave it behind."The candlelight would flicker, casting a warm, dancing light against the otherwise darkened room, "If a pony is only your friend for personal gain, then that is not a true friend. Friends are supposed to enrich your life just as you enrich theirs. And there is the mutual gain."She'd giggle before adding the last point, "especially if you can steal a french fry every now and again!"
