A strange day at Aster's

Blue Aster looked around in her home, picking up a jar of dried herbs and walking towards the cauldron in the center of her cabin, she stood by the hearth and began stirring the boiling water with a wooden spoon.

Stripes was flying over the woods, landing at a house he never saw before.. but he got a delivery to do. He knocked on the door, hoping someone would open

Blue Aster lifted her head as she heard a knock on a door, she trotted over slowly and opened the thick wooden door. "Hello?" She spoke as she saw the gray Pegasus stallion. "What brings you all they way out here?"

"Ive got a delivery for you" he smiled and showed her a small package

Blue Aster smiled, gently taking the package. "Thank you, I wasn't expecting a package." She said, stepping aside from the door. "Would you like to come inside?"

"Thank you" Stripes said and went inside "My name's Green Storm, but you can call me Stripes" he said, extending a hoof, he noticed all the flowers and books in her house "Interresting... Do you study botany?"

Blue Aster nodded. "Yes, I am." the deep blue mare said. "I also work with making certain plants able to survive the winter that wouldn't normally do so."

"Wow! Thats an amazing job.. I study pegasi and their wing anatomy, but I do deliveries sometimes too" he said

"Very interesting." Blue Aster remarked with a smile. "So you study anatomy? That's quite cool." She added as she stirred some herbal tea in the small cauldron in the fireplace. "Would you like some tea?"

"Of course, thanks!" he said with a smile as he looked inside her green eyes
"I like your mane.. I just love the color" he said

Blue Aster blushed faintly under her dark blue coat as she accidentally dropped the wooden spoon into the boiling cauldron of tea. "Oh my.... Thank you." She said softly, getting another spoon from a drawer nearby.

Stripes was standing next to her "Need help with that?" he asked

Blue Aster smiled. "Yes, thank you." She said, stepping to the side to let him help.

Stripes took the spoon out of the cauldron, accidently laying his wing on her back. He blushed a little "Oh, erm.. sorry

Blue Aster looked at him, her face reddening as her thick mane fell over her face, covering her emerald eyes. "Thank you.." She whispered.

Stripes kept resting his wing on her back, his face getting slightly red as he looked deep inside her eyes

Blue Aster looked at him, brushing her mane aside with a slight twinkle in her eyes. "I... I think the tea is ready.."

"Oh.. right" he said, still blushing a bit.. he just couldnt stop looking inside her beautiful eyes

Aster turned towards the cauldron and poured some of the tea into two wooden cups, carefully handing one of the cups to Stripes. "So... Tell me about yourself."

"Well, I was born in Cloudsdale, my dad was a racer and he taught me how to fly when I was a young colt. I learned pretty fast and became a very fast flyer.. later I moved to Ponyville and began studying flying technics and pegasi" he said, taking a sip of the tea "Wow, this is good!"

Blue Aster smiled as she listened to his story, her face reddened once more when he exclaimed about the good taste of the tea. "Thank you." She said meekly.

"Uhm.. I.. could need a place to sleep" he said

Aster blushed brightly. "um... Well.. You can stay here, but I only have one bed..." The navy blue mare said.

"I could sleep on this couch, I dont need a bed" he said, also blushing

Aster nodded and covered her face a little, giggling in embarrassment. "Oh, right... I forgot I had that.."
