Neon's Happy Dance

Neon Lights knew that eavesdropping was wrong…but that's what made it so tempting. He couldn't resist listing to the conversation between his best friends. He hid behind the cracked door, keeping as quite as possible.

Inside the room, Octavia and Vinyl were talking about something. Something that sounded like they didn't want someone else to hear. Someone like Neon.

"You can tell me." Octavia told her.

So Octavia was trying to get Vinyl to open up about some secret. Neon grinned as he leaned even closer to the crack in the door.

"I don't know." Vinyl said uncertainly.

"You do, don't you?"

"I…" Vinyl hesitated. Then she came right out with it, "Okay, yeah. I think I'm in love with Neon."

Neon froze completely. His breathing ceased. Even his heart seemed to stop.

Vinyl's…in love…with me? Neon thought in wonder.

A victorious expression enveloped his face as he began to dance in the middle of the hallway. As he moved, he sang, "Oh yeah. She likes me. I knew it. Yeah, yeah-"

"Neon?"

Neon had been so caught up in his happiness that he had forgotten to be quiet. As a result, Octavia and Vinyl had come to investigate and had found the young cyan unicorn doing the cabbage patch.

Neon stopped in the middle of his dance and stared wide eyed at them. "Um…this isn't what it looks like."

Vinyl crossed her arms, "Oh really? Cause it looks like you're dancing, dude."

He let his arms fall down to his sides as he responded, "Okay, maybe it is what it looks like."

"Neon Lights, were you eavesdropping?" Octavia chided him. At this, Vinyl's purple glasses rose.

"Would I do that?" Neon tried to lighten the mood.

"Yes." came Octavia's quick reply.

Neon swore under his breath.

"So you overheard what I said?" Vinyl asked. "Neon, best friends don't, like, listen to secrets."

Neon sheepishly rubbed the back of his head with his hoof. "Sorta."

She sighed, "So I guess you know now."

He nodded, "You're in love with me."

Vinyl seemed startled by this, "You think I'm…" Then she burst out laughing.

"What?" Neon asked, becoming confused and irritated.

She tried to calm herself. She stifled most of her giggles but some came out as she said, "I wasn't talking about you."

Neon frowned, "Yeah you were. Don't even try to deny it. Your exact words were 'I think I'm in love with Neon'."

For some reason, this made Vinyl go into another bout of laughter. Neon gave Octavia a questioning glance.

Vinyl forced herself to calm down again. She explained, "I wasn't talking about you, Neon. I was talking about Edward Cullen."

Neon's mouth popped open, "Oh…"

Then he turned around and trotted away without another word to either of them.

Whoever this Edward Cullen guy was, Neon was going to find him and beat him to a bloody pulp for stealing his somepony.

I watched Neon walk away silently. I couldn't tell if he was mad or happy or anything. He just had a blank expression on his face. I guess he believed me.

I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as I leaned back against the wall, "Whew, I can't believe that actually worked."

Octavia gave me a curious glance, "Does that mean…?"

I nodded, "Just don't tell him, 'kay?"

"Alright." Octavia said, smugly smiling at me as if she had a trick up her hoof.

Aww!

This was inspired by an episode of my filly hood. Twilight and I were having a talk about her crush Flash Sentry when he was actually listening to the conversation! Heh heh and review!
