Abohaty's P.O.V

Nom Nom ended up finding me another stallion. I guess you could say he was better. He was...aggressive sometimes but still was a polite gentlecolt. We've been 'dating' for a week so far.

His name is Dusk Shine. He's a unicorn with a light caramel-colored coat and dirty blonde hair.

I was currently sitting in my room when I heard a knock on the door. It was Dusk Shine.

"Hello Princess, how was magic practice?" he asked.

"Awful as usual. But I am getting better thankfully."

"Well," he started. "I was just coming to check on you. Do you have a dress for this week?" I raised an eyebrow.

"What's happening this week?" I asked.

"The gala you silly fool!!" I gasped. Did I just completely forget about that?

"Oh...oh yea..."

"Well, I kinda brought a dress already in case you didn't have one yet. Would you like to try it on?" I blushed a bit. I didn't see that coming honestly.

"Oh! Um...okay." He handed me the dress using his magic and shut the door. The dress was beautiful.

I was curious to see how I'd look when I put it on. With a wave of my horn, the dress was touching my pint coat. And it fits me perfectly. The way the pearls around the dress shined, the beautiful looking shell in the front...oh Celestia I can't stand how beautiful the dress looked on me. He even made sure it matched my baby blue bubble gum mane. I took it right off after trying it on first then hung the gorgeous gown in my closet. I opened my door to see Dusk Shine right there in front of me waiting for my response. "It's beautiful. Thank you." I kissed his snout and quickly shut the door.

Every time I kiss him, I constantly think about where things could head. Is this a good start? Bad start? Am I moving too quickly? Too slow? I sighed heavily.

My phone began ringing. I looked at the caller ID. It was Kelsey.

"Hey, Kel-"

"ABOHATY!! ARE YOU FREE THE DAY OF THE GALA AND THE NIGHT BEFORE IT?!"she yelled into the phone.

"Uh..probably yea, wh-"

"SLEEPOVER AT MY PLACE EIGHT THIRTY SHARP!!"

"Oh! Cool! I'll be-" She hung up the phone. I glowered. "...there..." I finished.

When I teleported to Pinkie Pie's home, I was greeted by Cheese Sandwich at their back door since their shop was in the front.

"Well hello there!! If it isn't Princess Abohaty!!" He moved aside so I could walk in with my bags. Bella was right there picking up her things off the floor she had dropped. I went to help her. "Kelsey and the rest are upstairs waiting for you mares!! I think the only ones we're waiting on now are Kat and Bookworm!!" Written script was here already? That's a surprise.

"Lemme help you, Bella," I said, using my horn to pick her stuff up and place them properly in the bag. I could see that she was holding her dress with her horn so I guess that's why she used her hooves to pick everything up. I raised a brow. "Why do you have so much stuff? It's only one night."

"I usually over pack," she answered quietly.

When Bookworm entered the room, Kelsey blew a horn.

"FINALLY, YOU'RE HERE!!" she hollered. Cheese Sandwich entered along with her. "HI DADDY!!"

"Alright you beautiful mares, me and Pinkie have a date tonight. We'll find a hotel afterward and will be back at dawn." He pointed at me. "Abohaty, you're in charge since you're the princess." Kelsey crossed her hooves.

"Hmph."

Celia popped up. once he shut the door and left.

"So how are y'all? Y'all excited?" she asked.

"Not really...I plan on staying home and reading books," Bookworm answered.

"LAME!!" Kelsey shouted.

"That's nice and all Bookworm, but I think we should focus more on Ms. Abohaty here who is going to the Gala for the first time," Kat said, wrapping her hoof around me. "Do you ponies have a partner?"

"Oh shut it, Kat, you just wanna compare yourself to us knowing you get a date with different stallions every year," Celia murmured.

"But Cece, do you have a stallion in mind?"

"Not really a stallion..." she mumbled, brushing back her orange curls. Kat leaned forward.

"What was that?"

"Never mind..." Kelsey decided to speak up.

"Well, I'm not going with anypony, but that's okay because food loves me, and I love them too." she said bouncing up and down with her long brown curls. "Or I might find Grammar. He's fun to hang with." Celia sighed and looked away.

"What about you Bella?" Kat asked. "Who are you going with?" She pointed to herself.

"Oh! Uh...me? Well..."

"Yeah, Bella! Is everything okay with you and Zephyr? I heard he moved in with you a few weeks ago," I said.

"Yeah...I wanted to, but he hasn't asked me out to the gala yet...and I'm sorta scared to ask him my-"

"But he's you coltfriend Bella-" Written Script reminded her. Bella was the shyest one in our group and I never understood how she was the only one who managed to get a long stable relationship before any of us. Celia never mentioned anything about crushes, Kat typically has one coltfriend after another, Bookworm is more invested in books, and Kelsey vibes with everypony as best friends, so it's hard to tell if she likes anypony and Written Script refuses to talk to Gabe.

"Don't worry Bella, Kat will hook you up," she claimed. "Your turn Written Script. You're talking about Bella being shy to ask out her coltfriend, yet you still haven't got the guts to ask out Gabe after all these years. Couldn't be me."

And this, this is why if I ever have some sort of crush, I wouldn't tell any of them. Kat will straight up make a fool of me, Written Script will think I'm some hypocrite, and Kelsey may accidentally tell the stallion or be too loud. But one thing I know about Kelsey is that she really ships me and Glitz together no matter how many times I say I have no crush. "Alright, Abohaty, you're up."

"His name is Dusk Shine..." I said. Kelsey dropped her jaw.

"Girl you gotta coltfriend?! SPILL!!!" I refuse to tell them this is all arranged and forced, but this was the only way of avoiding Kelsey bringing up Glitz. Of course, she later did. "Cause I sorta shipped you and Glitz together. Even Grammar!! I'm gonna have to break the sad news to-"

"NO!" I yelled. Kelsey froze, petrified. "I mean...no...don't tell him. Please." Because if Grammar knew about this coltfriend, Glitz would too and I'm not ready for that.

"But uh...Abohaty, both of the brothers are going to the Gala, they're gonna see you with this...Dusk Shine," Kelsey replied.

"Is he cute?" Celia asked with glowing eyes.

"Uh...yeah....very," I answered.

"Well..." Kat said. "I wasn't expecting you to say that Abohaty. Congrats. How long have you been dating?"

"Um...four months..." I lied.

"FOUR MONTHS?!" Kelsey yelled.

"Wow, Abohaty, you're good at keeping secrets. When were you gonna tell us? spoke Written Script.

"I don't know..."

"Well, I'm happy for you!!" That just gave me a little courage to ask out Gabe." Kat rolled her eyes.

"You say that every year and yet made no process so far. Gabe probably doesn't even like you back."

"Kat, Kat, Kat. Can you stop boosting her confidence down?" I asked. "Because maybe that's the problem." She stopped brushing her ponytail and looked at me.

"It was a joke..."

"Well, it wasn't funny." She threw her brush to the ground. Ponies would say I'm being dramatic, but do you blame me? Every single time Kat gets a chance, she'll put some pony down. I never liked that about her. Call Written Script obsessed as much as you want, but being negative won't change a thing.

"Look Abohaty, it's not that big of a deal, Written Script isn't even upset. You've been gone for so long, you don't even do jokes anymore. Geez."

"What's that supposed to mean? I'm a princess, of course, I'm gonna be really busy. And I've clearly matured."

"Kat has a point sorta...just worded it badly. When you're not busy, you spend most of your time with Glitz even though you see him like...every day," Bookworm finally spoke, looking up from her book. I looked at everypony else. Bella didn't say anything, she just looked at me and then looked away.

"Well...I think she sees us enough. I'd be grateful that she came today..." Celia said.

"Yeah, it's not like she doesn't call us. Plus, we could always visit her if we don't think she spends that much time with us!!" Kelsey added in.

"Wouldn't that be easier for her anyway?" Celia continued. "She is a princess after all. You really expect her to see us daily?"

"The one time I ask her to come down and see us, she brings the whole crew." Bookworm sneered. The royal guard, the smart ass, and the dumb ass." Kelsey seemed highly offended. "And sure, there's calling and visiting but she rarely answers messages and calls, and visiting costs a ton of money. If you think my mother would give me some bits, you thought wrong."

"You didn't even say anything though. Twilight and you seemed perfectly fine by their appearance. And Grammar isn't dumb!!" Celia scoffed.

"Twilight won't let you see me but gives me sarcastic looks and tones because I don't visit her?" I asked. "She's literally the princess of friendship!"

I was surprised to see Celia defend me. She doesn't talk to me much. I only really have a bond with Kelsey and sorta with Written Script. Bookworm has shown that she doesn't like me and I honestly feel like it has something to do with Twilight. Twilight never seemed to be fair with me and the blame falls down to Nom Nom. She admitted herself I was invited to the gala multiple times, but I was not allowed to come. And now many of the princesses see me as a reckless princess who doesn't care about their job. Bella is always quiet but she still never talks to me much even when I try to start a conversation. Kat is annoying and I don't like her because of her mood swings and attitudes.

"Yeah, I'm leaving." Kat started grabbing her belongings one by one with her horn and putting them in her bag.

"Okay, bye," Celia said.

"I guess I'll leave too," Bookworm joined in, closing her book. Kelsey's smile began to fade.

"Wait, huh? Why is everypony leaving?" she asked.

"Well, if all we're gonna do is talk about the gala that I am not attending tomorrow, then I'm out." Bookworm teleported away.

"I'll see you mares at the gala. And by mares, I mean Bella because she's the only one who actually likes me." Kat teleported off as well.

"Well...I guess it's just the five of us..." whispered Written Script. Celia walked over to me and laid a hoof on my back.

"Hey, it's okay...they're normally always grumpy anyways." Then she looked over to the sad Kelsey in the corner and walked over to her next and gave her a hug.
