Filly Twilight Greentext

>You are Anonymous.

>It's about a decade or so before the actual events of FiM begin.

>You are helping at a Canterlot daycare.

>It's volunteer work, so no pay.

>But seeing all the cute foals is enough payment for you.

>End of the day.

>Most parents have come to pick up their kids.

>"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow too, Moondancer!" The owner of the daycare, Kind Heart, shouts out the door as the mentioned filly leaves with her parents.

>Once the filly and her family are out of sight, she closes the door.

>She looks to you with her azure eyes.

>"Oh Anon, isn't it such a joy to watch over little fillies and colts?"

"I couldn't say it better myself, Ms. Heart."

>She smiles warmly at your response.

>"Now, who do we have left?"

>You survey the room.

>In the corner, you see a small purple filly reading a book.

>You look at the list of kids that were dropped off today, looking for the name of the foal that hadn't been checked off as "picked up" on the list.

>You come to the name Twilight Sparkle.

 

>You are Twilight Sparkle.

>You were dropped off at the local day care this morning by your parents.

>All throughout the day, you had immersed yourself in the few books that the daycare offered.

>Most of them were clearly too easy for you, but you read them anyways.

>Books are still books, after all.

>Besides, you didn't feel like playing with the other fillies anyways.

>Before you knew it, the sun was slowly making its way downwards.

>You knew your parents would be here soon.

>What you didn't expect, though, was to be the last filly left in the day care.

>Not that you didn't mind, a quiet environment was better for reading.

>You were half-way through the last book when you heard hooffalls coming towards you.

>No, not hooffalls.

>Foot steps.

>"You Twilight Sparkle?"

>You looked up from your book to lock eyes with an unfamiliar face.

>The volunteer who came in to help Ms. Kind Heart today was knelt right next to you, smiling.

>Your mom, dad, and Shiny had told you not to talk to strangers.

>You knew Ms. Kind Heart, but not this volunteer.

"U-uh...yes..."

>You quickly went back to reading your book, hoping the volunteer would go away.

>He didn't.

>"So...whatcha reading?"

>You quickly showed him the cover of your book before returning to reading.

>But he still didn't go away.

>Instead he peered at the cover of your book, apparently having not read it when you waved it in front of his face.

>"The Adventures of Filly Filet," he read aloud. "Do you like the book?"

"Yes."

>Your answer was quick and simple.

>Maybe he'd find out you didn't want to talk if you kept answering him like this.

 

>You are Anonymous again.

>You can't seem to get this filly to talk to you.

>What was her deal anyways?

>You racked your brain to try and find something to talk about.

"Uh...are you always the last filly here?"

>She looked up at you.

>"No."

>She put her face right back into her book.

>Luckily for you, Kind Heart came to help you out.

>"Oh Twilight, it's okay! You can come out of your shell. This is just Mr. Anonymous. He's nice!

>The lavender filly looked up at the daycare owner.

>"O-oh. Um..."

>The filly looked at you.

>"Nice to meet you, Mr. Anonymous."

>She then went right back to her book.

>Was this filly just shy?

>Kind Heart shuffled up behind you.

>"Don't worry Anon, I've got a secret weapon that'll make her open up. Follow me."

 

>You are now Kind Heart.

>You had just asked Anonymous to follow you to a secret weapon.

>One that you knew got any filly or colt to warm up to a stranger immediately.

>You led the human into the kitchen.

>Several pots and pans lined the sink, still dirty from the lunch you cooked today.

>"Alright, so what's this secret weapon?" Anon asked you.

"You'll see. Trust me, it'll work."

>You rummaged through a couple cupboards, searching for what would help Anon.

"Not here...not here...A-HA!"

>You had found your tea-making kit, and the bag of sugar cubes next to it.

>It was the sugar cubes that you needed.

>Grabbing the bag of artificial sweeteners, you pull them out of the cupboard and set them on a nearby counter.

"Alright Anon. Take one."

>The human did so, and observed the cube in his hand.

>It was no secret to you that if a foal was shy, a tasty sweet got them to trust you real fast.

 

>You are Twilight Sparkle again.

>Mr. Anonymous and Ms. Kind Heart had left the room, and now you were by yourself.

>That was okay though. It just meant more quiet to read your book.

>You giggled at Filly Filet's antics.

>She had just tricked the bad mare into slipping on a banana peel.

>When would the baddies learn?

>"Hey, Twilight."

>It was Mr. Anonymous talking to you from across the room.

>When did he get back in here?

"Yes, Mr. Anonymous?"

>You wondered what he'd want this time as you waited for a response.

>Would he just ask what you were reading again? He read the title twi-

>"Do you want a sugar cube?"

>You gasped and put down the book.

"A sugar cube? For me?"

>You looked towards Mr. Anonymous, who had a sugar cube in his palm.

 

>You are Anonymous again.

"Do you want a sugar cube?"

>The filly immediately put down her book.

>"A sugar cube? For me?"

>She looked in your direction, and noticed the confection in your hand.

>Her eyes grew wide and adorable.

>She trotted over to you to inspect the sweet up-close.

>She sniffed it, for reasons your not sure.

>When she she decided the cube was okay, she bit into it, her lips tickling your palm as she ate.

>While she enjoyed her treat, you decided to stroke her mane, feeling its soft texture run in between your fingers.

>She didn't even flinch to your touch, instead continuing to eat the sugar.

>She had now gotten to the last bite, and she lightly nipped your hand getting her fill.

>It didn't really hurt though. Her small filly teeth couldn't do much anyways.

>Once the cube was gone, she decided to lick your hand to get any remaining sugar.

>Her tongue tickled your palm as it slid across to get the last sweet crystals left.

>"Mmm, that was good!"

>She looked up at you and smiled.

>Thank you, Mr. Anonymous!

>You smiled back at her.

"You're welcome, Twilight."

>You spent the rest of the time Twilight was there talking with her about the books in the day care.

 

>About ten minutes later, Twilight's parents showed up with Shining Armor in tow.

>They were here to pick her up after getting her brother from school.

>She had run up to them and given them a collective hug.

>"Mom, Dad, Shiny!" she had called.

>"And how was your day dear?" Her mother asked.

>"It was great! I read some funny books that I loved!"

>"You didn't play with any of the other fillies or colts?" Her father asked.

>"No, but I did make a new friend today!"

>Her father smiled.

>"Oh, and who would that be?"

>The purple filly pointed to you with her hoof.

>"Mr. Anonymous, of course!"

>Her family greeted you warmly.

>After a small conversation, Twilight and her family left the daycare.

>"Bye Anon, I'll see you tomorrow!" Twilight called as she walked home with her family.

"I'll see ya too, Twilight!" you called out.

>Once Twilight and her family were out of sight, you shut the door.

>You turned around to meet Kind Heart, who was watching the whole time.

>"See? Sometimes, you just gotta give 'em a little nudge."

>She trotted into the kitchen to begin cleaning up.

>You decided to start picking up strewn about toys in the room.

>It was a good day.
