My Little Pony: Love is Magic

Holding Me in the Mirror (Mini Chpt.)

Starlight's POV-

We ran many blocks away from Restaurant Row, just to make sure no one was still chasing us. After awhile, we were pretty sure we were safe and decided to turn down an empty road. The lights on the street were dim, causing it to be really dark. It was also almost 9pm, so it was completely deserted.

Like the ones that we camped out at, there were outdoor bathrooms, there. We decided to change out of those clothes we had on then figure out a plan on what to do until morning when we can get back to Ponyville. The train station had closed by exactly 9 so we missed it.

I followed Trixie into the girl's bathroom. It looked exactly like the other one we were in, just the stalls were orange instead of white. Trixie started heading for a cubicle but I took one glance at the mirror and looked at the dress I was wearing again. I saw Trixie behind me lean against the stall door and say:

"You look beautiful in that, ya know," she said with a smile.

I laughed a little but continued staring, looking more doubtful at my reflection.

"What's up with you?" Trixie asked.

I hesitated for a moment.

"Um... nothing..." I said. "I'm fine."

Trixie raised her eyebrow.

"Suit yourself," she said turning around and closing the stall door. "I'm here if you need to talk."

I smiled at the fact that she said I could talk to her.

I looked in the mirror another second before walking over to the stall next to Trixie and shutting it behind me. I put my bag on the ground and turned back to the door, but, on the back of it, there was a big mirror on it. It weirded me out, but that's when I remembered that Spike told me to watch out because some of the bathrooms in Canterlot had mirrors in the stalls. I had the slightest idea why, but I guess that's just Canterlot.

I shrugged it off and started to fiddle with my hair tie. It was being stubborn, though, and wouldn't come out. Meanwhile, I got lost in thought.

I can't believe we almost got caught... what would've happened if he saw us?

I finally got the tie out and slipped it on my wrist. I watched my hair fall down to my shoulders. It was wavy after being put up for so long. I started to untie the string around my neck that held up my dress.

My hair looks kinda messy like this... I'm sure it's fine. Who's gonna care anyway? If Sunburst can walk out with his hair being like how it is... this is nothing. That idiot...wait...

My heart started to pound, faster and faster. I could feel my face burning up.

I eventually got the tie unloose. The string accidentally slipped out of my hand and dropped to the ground. I was left with nothing on but a bra and shorts. I had put pajama shorts on underneath because I didn't trust dresses when it comes to bending over. And, since it didn't have sleeves, I had to slip off the bra straps so they wouldn't show. I pulled them up over my shoulders, thankful for some support, finally. But, I still couldn't stop thinking about that recent event.

I can't believe myself... why did I do that? He seemed really upset about it. What if he's mad at me? Now I just made things really awkward between us now. I mean, it got the guy to ignore us, but what was the point? Was kissing him really the right thing to do?

I got warmer and my heart beated faster. I looked back up at the mirror. My brain started going crazy. All I could think about was kissing him. These weird thoughts started going through my head. Then, even though it sounds crazy, it was almost like the reflection in the mirror changed. It was me, smiling because a familiar orange haired guy was holding me from behind.

My eyes widened as it was then I realised, I had messed up.
