Jasmine's POV

I walked around Cantorlot helplessly not knowing the ways of the ponies here or anything about them. The stallions here seem to appreciate me flirting with them, I do it to humor myself. Why would I dare fall in love with full grown stallions? See on my planet, Venus, the adults marry a child. Yes I know that's odd but it's true.

I turned to see a small white colt with neon blue hair moving boxes into a house. "Hello," I spoke to him. He turned to me with sad eyes and sniffed a small hello back. "What's the matter?" I asked him. "I-I killed my father and now my sister hates me. It was an accident..." he started to bawl. I laid his head upon my shoulder and started to pat his back. "It's alright, let it out." I whispered in his ear. He's sniffles got quieter and quieter until they stopped.

Tech's POV

I stopped crying and looked up at the nice mare and smiled. She smiled back. "Your pretty." I complimented her. "Thank you. My name is Jasmine. What's yours?" She asked me. I noticed she was blushing a bit but I think I was just being paranoid. "Tech, Tech Scratch." I said as she released me from her hug. She silently stared into my eyes for a while and then she kissed me. I was blushing deeply, 'What is she doing? I'm only ten!'. "Hey!" a voiced called out interrupting our kiss.

The two of us turned towards the voice, there stood a mustard colored mare with blue eyes, she had a purple spot around the right eye, her mane was pink with many blue highlights in it( it didn't look like she had ever brushed it.) also decorated with flowers and a purple headband. "What? Don't you know it's illegal to do this to a foal?" The mare said again before she pulled me away from Jasmine. "Well it's a custom where I come from, is it not for you?" The beautiful lavender-colored alicorn mare asked. "Where are you from? Mars? Uranus?" I couldn't help but chuckle at that last one. Jasmine gave me a quick glance signaling me to stop. "Venus actually and I used to be the princess until my sister overthrew me." The mare rolled her eyes at Jasmine, "Mad I tell you! Just mad!" Suddenly the mares eyes just went blank and she just stood there. Me and Jasmine looked at each other then back at the mare who seemed to pop back into reality. "W-where am I?" She said looking around before looking at us, "Who are you?". We both stared at her, "I am Princess Jasmine and this is Tech." The lavender princess pointed back towards me. "I-I'm Shy." The pony whimpered. "I noticed." I mumbled under my breath. "Yes but, what is your name?" Jasmine asked again. "It's Shy. My name is Shy." The earth pony said more clearly.
