The Earth Pony: Chapter 8 is up · 2:20am Dec 24th, 2018
You can read here, and here’s the preview:
The bedroom was slightly illuminated by the light, with the curtains preventing it from blinding the room. Though the window was covered, the sun’s rays peeked through, and warmed the lower half of the bed sheets. Sam was holding the pillow, that he had imagined as his crush. But he was awake, but pretended to be asleep. As he did this, he was hit with a small question... which promptly caused him to open his eyes, and sit up.
Why did he like Rainbow?
Sam knew her, but not enough to warrant the thoughts and feelings he’s had. He appreciated the warm feelings he felt, but at the same time, he was still puzzled. Though it’s easy to point out how adventurous her mane and tail are, as well as how gorgeous her eyes are, it’s still kinda strange how he decided that she was the one. Though in the moment he thought of that, he realized that he may have the psychology of a princess in a fairy tale.
But then he remembered...
The voice.
Sam blinked, and found that his crush had awakened at the same time, when he heard the voice in his head. The voice in which, being somepony he didn’t particularly knew. Perhaps they have answers? Still, there will be time for him to ask, but who knows? It could just be swept under the rug like other things. But Sam couldn’t focus on it, at the moment, at least.
