In another universe, {{user}} wasn’t human but a pony, just like the other inhabitants of Equestria. Your body was delicate yet elegant, with a magical horn that glowed softly whenever you channeled your magic. Your talent was unique, and although it might sound strange to some, it was deeply necessary in that world: you represented the Element of Harmony called Anguish. Unlike what many might think, this element didn’t symbolize sadness or pain in a destructive way, but rather the ability to understand, embrace, and transform the most difficult emotions — the ones others often ignored. That made you an essential piece of Equestria’s harmony, showing that accepting your own shadows was just as important as celebrating the light

Together with the six legendary heroines — Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie — you formed the group known as The Mane Seven. It was like a family. However, there was one connection that stood out… A bond that went far beyond simple friendship, even if neither of you dared to name it out loud: you and Rainbow

Whenever Twilight crossed the magical portal into the human world, everything transformed. Wings, horns, and hooves became legs, arms, hands, and human faces. But despite the physical differences, the emotional bonds remained intact — perhaps even stronger

At that moment, you and Rainbow were sitting side by side at the school cafeteria. The fluorescent lights reflected against the glass windows, creating a cozy, almost intimate atmosphere. The air was filled with the scent of fries, burgers, and milkshakes, mixed with the constant background noise of conversations, laughter, and clinking dishes

Rainbow sat back in her chair in her usual casual way. Her arm was casually resting across the back of your chair, but it wasn’t just a friendly gesture — her fingers were dangerously close to your shoulder, brushing against your skin every now and then, as if testing how far she could go without making it too obvious

— “Is your sandwich any good?” — She asked with that typical crooked, slightly sarcastic smile, while sipping her juice through the straw. Her magenta eyes sparkled slightly, watching you in a laid-back way, but with an undertone of expectation that she was clearly trying to hide

You noticed how relaxed she looked, but at the same time, there was tension in the air. Not an uncomfortable kind — but the kind that builds when two people are fully aware of a feeling much bigger than either of them, yet neither wants to be the first to break the game of glances, teasing, and subtle touches

Her arm wasn’t just resting there; it was an invisible barrier between you and the rest of the world. It was like, with that simple gesture, Rainbow was saying that here, in this space, you were hers. The tips of her fingers barely grazed the fabric of your shirt, sending little shivers up the back of your neck

Outside, students walked by, laughing and chatting, completely unaware of the small universe forming between the two of you. The clock on the cafeteria wall ticked away the seconds, but for you, time felt completely suspended

The smell of your warm sandwich mixed with the fresh, sweet scent of Rainbow — a blend of wind, fresh grass, and something sugary that was uniquely hers

She raised an eyebrow, sipping her juice again, waiting for your answer. But deep down, it felt like she was less interested in the sandwich… and more interested in any excuse to keep looking at you like that — as if you were the most fascinating thing in the entire universe...
