My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship (MLP remake with male OC added)

29. Friendship Lessons

Another day in Ponyville began.

Since the defeat of Discord, Star Twinkle didn't take his friends for granted anymore. The whole thing showed him that his friends could be taken away at any time. But he didn't want to think about that.

His friends want to spend time with him because they can and not because they are afraid to lose that any second. He decided to make up the best of his current situation. After all, he had to catch up a lot of time. But he was also aware that he didn't quite understand everything about friendship. And the only way to understand it is to spend time with his friends.

Star Twinkle preferred to call this:
The circle of friendship. By spending time with his friends, he will understand friendship a little better. And by understanding friendship better, he becomes a better friend for everypony.

As usual, whenever he is thinking about stuff, he realized that he is maybe overthinking everything a little too much.

"I think, I am putting way too many thoughts into this...I am probably the only pony in the world, who takes friendship this serious..." he thought.

He then heard how somepony was knocking on the door repeatedly. It almost sounded nervous. As if it was some kind of emergency. Realizing that this could maybe possible, Star Twinkle rushed to the door and opened it.

After opening the door, he saw Twilight, who had a joyful smile on her face, like she didn't saw Star Twinkle for several years. Star Twinkle couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, Star Twinkle!" Twilight greeted with a joyful smile.

"Um...yes?" Star Twinkle replied, wondering about Twilight's visit.

"I was just in the neighborhood and wondered if you might need help with something?" Twilight asked digging in the ground with her front hoof.

"Help with what?" Star Twinkle asked back.

"Oh, I don't know...nothing special...maybe something like a friendship problem?" Twilight asked shyly.

Star Twinkle noticed how Twilight seemed a little pushy. He had no problems in terms of friendship right now. Although that could be considered as a problem too? But even if he had, chances that he would flat out tell them to somepony were very slim.

"What is this all about, Twilight?" Star Twinkle asked confused.

Eventually, Twilight behaved like her usual self and explained the situation to Star Twinkle.

"I'm sorry..." Twilight apologized. It's just that I'm behind writing the princess a letter about friendship,"

"So? That doesn't sound too bad," Star Twinkle said boldly.

Twilight reacted in shock after Star Twinkles response.

"What?" Twilight replied shocked. "Doesn't sound too bad?" She said getting close up to Star Twinkles face. "Of course, it's bad! I've sent a letter to the princess every week and I still need to send her a letter by the end of today!"

Star Twinkle had problems understanding her troubles. If what she said is true and she had sent a letter every week since she was sent to Ponyville, then it will probably be no problem if she misses out one week. Learning something about friendship every week seemed almost impossible from Star Twinkle's point of view and the princess is probably not expecting her to learn something new every week too.

"I'm sure she will understand if you miss out once," Star Twinkle said.

"I'm afraid I'm not taking that chance," Twilight replied. "Now if you excuse me, I have to find a friendship problem," she said before she turned around and walked off.
