  1. >Day Light in Dust Valley.
  2. >You are Little Light.
  3. >The most lovable, kindest, happiest, best moth in all of Dust Valley Central.
  4. >And it's time to run off and meet the newest addition to the village: Lamp.
  5. >From what Squeak has told you, she just moved from Dust Valley East.
  6. >She said Lamp makes lampshades for ponies, like some kind of weird fashion thing, and she wanted to get a shop started up around here.
  7. >As you run upstairs from Squeak's basement, she stops you.
  8. >"Squeak?"
  9. "I'm going to meet Lamp."
  10. >"Squeak!"
  11. "I'll be careful! It's not like we have anything to worry about."
  12. >"Squeak."
  13. "I meant the dragons. You know Virgo and the rest of the hunters are keeping us safe from anything that breaks past them.
  14. >Squeak just grumbles as you leave the house.
  15. >She's too worried about you.
  16. >It's not like there's anything to actually worry about.
  17. >No one in Dust Valley does anything bad.
  18. >Everyone is nice to one another, and they all work in harmony.
  19. >As you trot through the village, you wave to every moth you pass.
  20. >All of them.
  21. >Especially Butterscotch.
  22. >She's the nicest.
  23. >Not Hexferry though.
  24. >She's mean.
  25. >Everytime you wave at her, she blushes and calls you something like "baklava."
  26. >It's weird.
  27. >"Hey, kid! Where're you going?"
  28. >You stop in your tracks.
  29. "To meet Lamp!"
  30. >Virgo trots up to you and laughs casually.
  31. >"Ah, she's nothin' special. Cute as a button, but not my type, surprisingly."
  32. "I thought everyone was your type."
  33. >"Nah, my type's more Hexferry, or Goldie, or Caramel."
  34. "Or Squeak?"
  35. >"Or Squeak."
  36. >The corners of your mouth turn up into a smile.
  37. >Virgo stops acting cool and glares at you.
  38. >"No. You stop that. Both of you stop that."
  39. "But she really likes you!"
  40. >"I don't do the whole 'crushing stallions' heads like watermelons' thing she's so into."
  41. "She just does that to show off for you!"
  42. >He shoots you another dirty look before walking away.
  43.  
  44. >Continuing on your way, you arrive at the Dust Bin.
  45. >Squeak doesn't normally let you hang out in there, but today is different.
  46. >Lamp is there.
  47. >You barge through the front door with a large smile on your face.
  48. >As everyone turns to look at you, you immediately start looking for Lamp.
  49. >She is not hard to find.
  50. >After all, she is the only moth in the bin that is glowing.
  51. >Literally glowing.
  52. >She turns to look at you and pulls a string that hangs from her lampshade hat.
  53. >The light turns off.
  54. >She hops off of her barstool and approaches you.
  55. >The two of you stand in the middle of the open floor.
  56. >Without a word, she looks you over, tilts her head, and sucks her teeth.
  57. >She sits on her haunches and reaches up to take her lampshade off.
  58. >She places it on your head and pulls the string.
  59. >You light up.
  60. >"Perfect."
  61. "I think it's perfect too! My name's Little Light, I'm so excited to meet you, and -"
  62. >She places a hoof over your mouth.
  63. >"Lamp. Shh."
  64. >She smiles.
  65. >You smile.
  66. >It was love at first light.
