Description

(Dropping his cider midair, Jet soars back to the border of the Everfree forest and begins pacing back and forth, mumbling to himself. A familiar voice calls over to him from within a cave, but after Jet seems to have ignored or not even acknowledged the greeting, Tanzanite emerges from the cave with a basket of gems in his claws)
 
Tanzi: Jet Streak, hey.. What are you doing, man?
 
Jet: None of your business. *snorts a bit and sits down, his back to Tanzanite*
 
Tanzi: Sheesh, sorry I asked. You just seemed a bit troubled is all.. **puts down his basket* *
 
Jet: I’m fine! I’m just.. A bit confused, ok? Just leave me be.
 
Tanzi: … Confused about what?
 
Jet: Tanzanite! I said leave me be, ok?! *crosses his arms and tries to hold back a very evident blush that comes back to his cheeks*
 
Tanzi: Are- Are you blushing?!
 
Jet: What?! No, this is.. a fever! I’ve had a fever since I woke up, I don’t feel well. That’s all.. Just drop it.
 
Tanzi: A fever, huh? Are you sure about that?
 
Jet: Yes!
 
(Before Jet could say another word, Tanzanite places the back of his claws to Jet’s forehead)
 
Tanzi: You don’t feel like you have a fever.
 
Jet: *slaps Tanzanite’s claw away* Who asked you?!
 
Tanzi: Just saying! Hey, here I thought I considered you a friend, and I apologize if I show a little bit of concern!
 
Jet: …. Thanks, but I’m fine.
 
Tanzi: Did something happen?
 
Jet: Tanzi… **muttering under his breath* *
 
Tanzi: Ok, ok, sorry. I’ll leave you alone. *picks his basket back up* Hope you feel better soon.. You know if you ever need somepony to confide in, I’ll lend an ear. *starts walking away*
 
Jet: *thinks to himself for a moment until a sudden image of Peach Fuzz appears for no reason in Jet’s mind and he feels the painful knot in his chest again and bursts out towards Tanzanite* Wait!
 
Tanzi: **turns to look at him with a raised eyebrow* *
 
Jet: *blushes deeper due to the fact he practically yelled at Tanzanite, but then clears his throat and sighs* Tanzanite.. Have you, ever been in love?
 
Tanzi: Uh.. *drops the basket again and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly* Look, Jet, if this is your way of trying to tell me you-
 
Jet: No, no, no, I’m not into you or anything, it’s not that! I just.. Have you?
 
Tanzi: Well.. I thought I was, once. Until she just left me without even a second to talk about why.. Honestly, I don’t even know if I loved her or not, at least not really loved her. I guess I can say I almost loved her? Why do you ask?
 
Jet: … I’ve been feeling this tightness, in my chest. It’s painful, and suffocating, and I don’t understand it! It makes me want to hurl, and I can’t sit still. My hooves are shaking, my face is burning; I just don’t know what is happening to me…
 
Tanzi: Well.. it sounds to me like you might be in love.
 
Jet: No! That’s ridiculous! I can’t fall in love with anypony, that’s not who I am.
 
Tanzi: Jet, you’re a pony, just like everypony else. And as being a pony, that comes with the same emotions everypony else has. That includes the ability to fall in love. And by the way you’re describing it, you seem to have fallen pretty damn hard for whoever this pony is.
 
Jet: *growls and screams* I don’t get it! This makes no sense! Why has this never happened to me before then?! I’ve been with so many mares and even a few stallions for fun, I mean; come on! What does this one mare, who I don’t even know, have that all those other ponies don’t?! It’s impossible for me to be feeling this way, it makes no sense and it’s killing me!
 
Tanzi: Calm down, Jet Streak! Listen.. Life is strange, it has weird ways of dealing with fate and ponies lives. Falling in love is just as weird; there’s no say in who you fall for or when it happens; it just does. Sometimes it comes from no where, sometimes it takes a little while to see it even if it right in front of you the entire time. There’s no rhyme or reason to explain it, it’s just how it is.
 
Jet: Well it sucks.. I don’t like it..
 
Tanzi: *chuckles a bit and pats him on the back* Sorry dude… I must say though, I never thought I’d see the day that Lady’s Man Jet Streak would ever actually fall in love. Who’s the lucky mare?
 
Jet: Don’t even, this is not a permanent thing. *pushes Tanzanite’s face away* I’ll just let this thing run it’s course, get her out of my system. These feelings will go away eventually, I’ll just have to avoid her for now.
 
Tanzi: Jet.. that’s not how it works.
 
Jet: Well, it’s going to have to!
 
(Jet flies off towards Cloudsdale, leaving Tanzanite staring after him feeling both confused and at the same time quite amused and impressed. Tanzanite smiles as he flies into the distance, picks up his gems and starts heading back to Ponyville)
