>You are Bubble Berry.
>And you’ve had a crush on Anon ever since he first arrived in Ponyville.
>There’s something about him that just makes you want to be around him, make him smile and more importantly, make him yours.
>You’ve been dropping hints to him about how you feel but he isn’t picking up on them.
>So you’ve planned a surprise for Anon, everything. You’ve decided you’re going to put it all out there in the open, and then he’ll finally know how you feel.
>But you’re super-duper nervous.
>What if he doesn’t feel the same?
>You shake your head like crazy, you can’t think like that. You need to do this.
>You’re going to ask him to have a movie night.
>It’ll be you two, alone, in his house.
>Your cheeks turn into a low tint of red as you imagine all the possible scenes that could happen. Well, all the really good scenes.
>”Ahem, ya’ll alright there Bubble?”
“Wazzat?”
>Your scenario is cut short by Applejack and Elusive.
>”Enjoying a pleasant little day dream about tonight, are we?”
>Elusive gives his high class chuckle like always, the two stallions watch you as you still try to pry yourself out of daydreaming and into reality.
>You’re a little deflated; you didn’t even get to the GOOD part yet.
“Maybe, I’m just nervous.”
>”Ah wouldn’t worry none, how could Anon resist your charm?”
>”Yes, just keep calm and it’ll all go swimmingly.”
“Thanks guys, do you know where Anon is?”
>”He’s finishing up at the farm with Macareina.”
“Thanks again guys.”
>You wave to Elusive and Applejack before heading off to Sweet Apple Acres with a bounce in your step.
>Their compliments didn’t subdue your nerves but they made you a little more confident about the whole thing.
>You spy Anon from afar carrying the last of the baskets with Macareina into the barn.
>Crouching down low like a tiger hunting its’ prey you zip between the trees.
>You’re so close to Anon now, painting an imaginary target on his back you pounce.
“SURPRISE!” You latch onto his back and with your extra weight he topples over into the apples.
>You give a proud giggle as Anon lays face first in the apple pile sending delicious apples everywhere.
>”You’ll regret that Bubble.” Anon says in a stern tone, you know he means it but you’re not worried.
>It’s what you Anon do, taking turns scaring the beejeebies out of each other.
“I’m so scared,” you giggle again before helping Anon and Macareina putting the apples back in the baskets.
>”You will be anyway what’s up?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to do a movie night?”
>He pauses for a second.
>”Yeah alright, anyone else coming?”
>You shake your head, there’s no way you’d let anyone else come, they’d ruin everything.
>”Alright, I’m going home for a shower. Bring a few movies when you’re ready.”
>You watch Anon as he heads home, when he’s out of eyesight you let out a loud squeal and jump on the spot.
“MACAREINA, I’M GOING TO ANON’S TONIGHT!”
>”Eeyup.”
“It’ll be just me and him.”
>”Eeyup.”
“Oh, I got to go, see you later Macareina.”
>You head home, take a shower and grab a few snacks before heading over to Anon’s.
>Standing in front of his door your nerves skyrocket. Any uneasiness you felt before was nothing compared to right not.
>Maybe you shouldn’t go through with this.
>What if you tell Anon and he doesn’t feel the same?
>What would happen then? You wouldn’t lose Anon as a friend would you?
>You can just head home and say you felt sick, he’d understand.
>You get ready to turn tail and run but then Anon opens his door.
>”BUBBLE!” He yells with his face inches from yours.
>You jump up with a yelp and land on your back, Anon just laughs and picks up your basket.
>Did your heart stop?
>Yes? Oh, sweet Celestia, you’re DEAD!
>Wait.
>No, there it is. It just stopped.
>”You’re a bigger chicken than Scootaloo, get your ass in here and let’s watch some movies.”
>You pick yourself up and walk into Anon’s with your head hanging low. There’s no turning back now.
>You can’t do this. Your chest feels like it’s going to jump out your chest.
>”Hey, Bubble?”
>You perk your head up.
>”You didn’t bring any movies.”
“Oh, really?” Yes, a way out of here. “I’ll just go--”
>”No need, I’ve got some movies we can watch.”
>Your head sinks again, lower than before.
>”You alright?”
>You gaze up at Anon, you notice the worry on his face. You must look pretty depressed right now. You give a slow nod, you can’t even pretend to be happy right now.
>You want to scream, run and do anything if it’ll get you out of here.
>You’re broken out of your train of thought and brought into a hug. You feel Anon’s big arms wrap around you, warming you. You can even feel his heartbeat against your own, it’s... soothing. You close your eyes and return the hug, you enjoy the embrace. You take back what you said about escape, you’d give anything for this hug to last forever.
>Nothing has made you happier.
>Anon breaks the hug and stands up. “You looked like you needed that. I’m not going to make you talk about it but if you’re ever missing your smile, let me know.”
>He ruffles your mane a little before going to set up the TV.
>You remember that, you said those exact words to Anon not long after he arrived.
>He was sad, sadder than anyp0ny you’ve ever seen before. You had to cheer him up at any cost. Nop0ny gets to be sad in Bubble’s town but he wouldn’t tell you what was wrong or anyp0ny for that matter.
>You wanted him to smile and your normal way of making p0nies smile wouldn’t work. So you told that exact sentence to Anon.
>From then you and Anon grew closer. He eventually told you why he was sad, he just missed his friends and family back home but you and the other p0nies of Ponyville filled that void in his heart.
>And he somehow filled a void in yours you never knew you had. The hole was for a special somep0ny and Anon was the only one who could fill it.
>Taking a deep breath, you realise that you need to tell Anon how you feel.
>You couldn’t let that void stay empty anymore.
>You jump up onto the couch next to Anon and you both watch the opening credits of the movie.
>What movie, you don’t know.
>You were watching the screen but your mind was elsewhere.
>You were trying to convince yourself, encourage yourself to tell him.
>Where ever that courage lied, you needed it, now.
>’Tell him.’
>’No, you tell him.’
>’I am you, silly.’
>’Oh yeah.’
>’Look, just tell him. Face him, look him straight in the eye and say--’
>”Bubble?” Your first view back in reality is Anon’s hand.
“A-Anon?”
>”You were staring.”
“At what?”
>”Me.”
>You froze. How Long were you out?
>He’s going to think you’re crazy.
“Nothi--”
>’NO! Take this chance, tell him.’
>You take a deep breath.
“Anon, I need to tell you something.”
>He pauses the movie and turns to you.
>You stare right into his eyes and everything falls deathly silent.
>Your heartbeat rings throughout your entire body, your head feels like there’s a bell tower inside.
“I-I’ve...”
>Your lips are drier than a desert.
>Your breath becomes fast pace.
>Your lungs refuse to fill up with air.
>Can’t. Do. This.
>”Anon. Don’t hate me.”
>You dive forward, pressing your lips firmly against his. You feel their warmth.
>This is what you wanted but you didn’t want to just stop here, you wanted more. Everything is drowned out by this moment. You no longer hear your heartbeat or the silence around you. 
>It’s as if everything stopped.
>Time feels as if it’s stopped so you could enjoy this kiss for a moment longer.
>Your heartbeat’s ringing came back, louder than before and you could no longer enjoy this kiss as Anon pushes you off and jumps off the couch.
>”Whoa, Bubble... I...”
“I’m so sorry Anon, I just--”
>”Just what? Thought you’d kiss me?”
>His voice is just below yelling, he’s so angry at you. You’ve ruined everything.
”I just... Wanted to tell you how I felt but no words would come out and-and I... I... panicked.”
>”Bubble... I’m sorry. I like you.”
“But as a friend?”
>”Yeah, I-I’m... not into stallions.”
“I’m sorry... I’m so, so sorry.”
>Your heart, head and body sinks. You’ve ruined everything.
>You could almost feel your heart tearing apart as your eyes filled with tears.
>You run out of Anon’s as fast as you can, you can’t take it. You hear Anon’s voice yell out for you but you don’t listen. You don’t stop running.
>You’ve never felt more alone.
