The fillies and colts of the Canterlot School were enjoying their recess in the lawn; frolicking together on the playground or chatting with friends by the fountain. Everypony was so busy playing or gossiping with one another, they hardly noticed the quie, pigtailed filly far off from everyone else. She wasn't sulking in the shadows, or hiding from the more popularfillies. Quite the opposite, really. She was perfectly content for a moment to herself and was happily engaged in drawing a patch of lavender peeking through the fence. In fact, she was so focused, that she barely noticed the hurried hoofsteps galloping towards her.

" Sonata! Sonata, your never going to believe it!" A shrill, accented voice called out quite close to her.

Sonata, startled, broke out of her trance with a jump. She groaned to find her jolt had caused an unwanted mark on her precise drawing. She turned and was about to make a piqued reply, but had second thoughts when she saw it was Dazzle bouncing gleefully towards her. As she tried desperately to fix the mistake, Sonata said casually, " Won't believe what?"

" What……Silky cinnamon……just……just told me she over heard today at lunch!" Dazzle panted out of breath, partly from excitement and partly from running across the lawn.

"And what would that be?" Sonata asked with very little enthusiasm.

Dazzle stopped in her tracks right next her friend, taking a moment to catch her breath. Then, leaning in close to her friend's ear, half-whispered excitedly into it, " Well…. she was near Crystal Hoof when he was with some of his friends earlier today and overheard them teasing him about an anonymous CRUUUUSHHHH!" Dazzle barely finished signing the word ‘crush’, that she broke into a fit of girly giggles.

Sonata resisted a rising snicker in her throat, and instead she replied cooly, " Oh, and do you know who that special somepony is?"

" That's just it, nopony does! Not even his friends! " Dazzle said in a much louder tone. She clasped her hoofs to her chest most dramatically, before exclaming," It could be anypony! Crystal Hoof won't even tell his best colt friends who it is. Any mare could be the one, it could even be….Oh!" Here she gasped and covered her mouth as if she was too afraid to utter her next words.

" Sonata….do you think…it might possibly…be me?" She said softly, eyes wide.

Still sketching away, Sonata said, " Well, you said it could be anymare, so…yeah, I guess it could be you"

The words were barely out of her mouth when Dazzle let out a perfectly horrid shriek.

"That would be absolutely amazing! " she said, as she finished squealing, “To be crushed on by the cutest colt in school; Oh it would be a perfect dream come true!"

" Hold on now, I thought you said Leafy green was the cutest colt in school just last Friday?" Sonata said, finally looking up at her blushing friend.

The smile dropped. "Oh, well, leafy is cute, but Crystal hoof, " She said, grinning again, "now he's handsome!"

"I'm starting to believe you think every guy here is handsome." Sonata teased.

"Well it’s not like you would know who's handsome and who's not!" Dazzle stated matter-of-factly.

Sonata turned back to her drawing and snorted, "You got me there."

Dazzle continued, smiling dreamily, "But of mare of my tastes knows when a colt is handsome or not. And Crystal isn't just handsome. He's absolutely perfect, dashing, strong, kind, smart, and really good at hoofball. Not to mention, his Daddy is chairman of the school board! And his smile, ah! It makes me want to swoon!"

As she said this, Dazzle gracefully did a perfect swoon onto her friend, lifting her hoof to her head ever so slightly, like she had read done in romance novels over a hundred times. Sonata levitated her sketch out of the way so as not to be smudged, but was in no other way disturbed by the performance. In fact, she found it rather amusing and a little bit endearing. Dazzle slowly melted in a wistful sigh and Sonata could have sworn she saw hearts floating in the air.

"So, when do I get to be asked as your Mare of Honor?" Sonata asked, trying to sound serious.

Dazzle opened her eyes and tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"Hmmm, I was thinking sometime in May. It will be a spring wedding, with roses and daffodils for the theme. How does that sound?" She said, looking up at her.

Sonata tried to keep a straight face, but Dazzle looked up at her so innocently, she couldn't hold it any longer and burst out laughing. Dazzle giggled as well, nearly slidding of Sonata's side, her friend was laughing so hard. After a moment, Dazzle positioned her self upright, and waited for Sonata to catch her breath.

"Seriously though, Sonata, it would be the. Best. Thing. Ever! If Crystal hoof were to have a crush on me. Maybe we could even be special someponies someday!" She squeezed her cheeks in another squeal.

Sonata wiped away a tear and said breathlessly, "Well…I hope so for your sake, Dazzle."

"Aw, you're so sweet! But you know, " She smiled slyly, booping her unsuspecting friend on the nose, "you could possible be the one as well!"

Sonata leaned back in surprise, shaking her head in denial. "Oh no, " she scoffed, "there's no way he would crush on me. I'm not nearly as sophisticated or as fashionable as you, or any other mare in school for that matter. And for what it's worth, I'm not that interested in Crystal Hoof either."

Dazzle huffed and crossing her arms, said, "That's not at all surprising."

She waited for a reply, but all she got was a shrug and awkward smile before Sonata picked up her notebook turned back to her sketch.

"I declare Sonata, you're not interested in any colt from here to Manehatten," Dazzle said, a little dejectedly.

Sonata smiled smugly, "So?"

" Surely, you must find it least one of them attractive?" Dazzle asked, raising her eye brow.

Sonata continued her drawing, replying casually, "Oh, I never said that weren't some cute looking colts here. Some of them are even really nice. Even Crystal Hoof isn't half bad. I just have no special feelings for any of them, and I'm sure I never will. I’m just not that kind of mare. Besides, I think all that swooning would leave me exhausted!"

"You may not be interested now, Sonata," Dazzle exclaimed, ignoring the subtle jab at her performance, " but some stallion will come and catch your fancy, and before you know it, you'll fall fast and deeply in love with him. Mark my words, Sonata, one day you will."

"One day, you will."


———————————————————————————————————————————-

Ah, middle school. So full of drama and, if you’re Dazzle, swooning over every single colt within a 30 mile radius.

I don’t really have much to add to this. It basically says it all in the Dialouge. I will say that I’m hoping to crank out a few more Dazzle and Sonata interactions before the week is over. If you guys have any ideas, feel free to share! Also, I’m not too happy with how this picture turned out, but I’m too tired to start over. shrugs


Also, Crystal hoof doesn’t have a crush on either of these girls, and instead has feelings for the shy, nerdy girl of his class. :3


They may or may not get together, and Dazzle may or may not hardcore ship them.
