Daisy Daedal can’t convince any of her friends to go to the famous Canterlot Gala- so she reluctantly attends by herself. There, she meets Jonathan Ebony for the first time.
(Timeline-wise, this would be during the second Grand Galloping Gala that we didn't see in MLP season 3-I think.)
Arrival * Dance Partner * Passing Through Time
This story was never completed- but I head canon that Daisy managed to dance with John until he was called to the stage to perform with his Band. She saw how adored he was by many other mares, and didn't feel confident in herself to pursue him further at the time.
So she wandered off to eat some food- San Franciscolt's fog taking her a little ahead in time to Keira's dimension- and then left early before John-who was interested in Daisy- could see her again.
" Rock Farm has a new pony working on thire field of rocks. Jonathan is their to pay his debt we're not sure what he did. But the Royal guards said to John. His only chance to recover from the crime he didn't do. Is work with the Rock Farm."
A perfect place to stay out of trouble."*A wonderful day at Rock Farm. As the sun begin to rise Igneous Rock woke up that day,and told his wife* I must tell everyone about our new arrival. *She nodded as the pie family went downstairs. Into the table setting down*
Igneous Rock : I gather you here to say that we're having somepony working with us. Until he pay his debt of crime. Limestone Pie: you didn't explain why he's working on our farm?? On a day like this what makes you think he'll do the job??
The royal guards said that he was the first pony to witness a crime. They're not sure who did it but he was there. They have no clue what to expect from him, as a murderer or innocent. That is why they're sending him here. *Igneous said*
*Knocking sound* Ah that must be him at the door. I'll introduced to him then make sure he start work today.* Igneous replied while heading straight to the door. As the door open A gray unicorn stallion with black Main and tail spoke as a gentleman*
???: Good morning sir my name is Johnathan Ebony but my friends call me John. I've came here to help the farm getting the business up and running. Also awful news from the royal guards. They say that I have to sleep over I'm assuming you've got a spare??
"Silo" *Igneous said as he looked at his farmyard* that could be the right place for you to sleep. Forgive me but this is the only spare room we've got in our farm. *John nodded* that's alright I can handle myself to sleep in that silo. Before I start working would it be all right that I fix that crack in the ground?? I'm afraid that rock of yours may or may not fall down. For my worries please sir let me fix it for you.
Daisy Daedal loves Hearth’s Warming, but there’s one tradition from the holiday she avoids: Mistletoe. It wasn’t that she disliked the tradition- kissing your special somepony under the plant sprig sounded sooo romantic, and she wanted to do it someday.
But Daisy’s introverted nature and ambitious drive to spend all her free time drawing, meant most of her dating experience was secondhand from books. She had made it to adulthood without even having her first kiss! So rather than kiss some random pony that happened to catch her under the mistletoe, she wanted to save that first kiss for somepony special.
So Daisy was extra cautious of her surroundings when the Hearth’s Warming decorations started going up, and made careful plans to avoid door frames or archways the mistletoe could hang. Which is why when Daisy was out shopping for Hearth’s Warming gifts, she was dismayed to spot mistletoe hanging on an archway that she could’ve sworn hadn’t been there when she walked under it before.
She stopped walking towards it and instead began to strategize. Could she go around it? No- it was between two buildings close enough that only two creatures could pass through at a time. She could backtrack and go another route, but that would be ten minutes out of her way uphill. Daisy was not in good shape, so that seems especially daunting towards the end of her day of holiday chores.
That left plan C- rush through the archway. Ponies in a hurry were rarely stopped, and it didn’t seem like anypony was nearby. So Daisy tightened her shopping bag close to her body and prepared to dash- hoping no pony she knew would appear and slow her down.
She had only just started to trot when a shape stepping into the archway made her stumble. Charcoal coated, raven-haired Johnathan Ebony was under the mistletoe, looking behind him away from Daisy. That stallion was a long-term crush of hers- and assuming their planned first date went well- future coltfriend.
It seemed like fate. Wouldn’t a mistletoe kiss surrounded by the twinkling Hearth’s Warming lights be romantic? A memorable, special first kiss for sure! Plus, the idea of surprising John this way awoke Daisy’s mischievous side. She sped up to a gallop, knowing the sound would get his attention and she’d have to be quick to surprise him.
Sure enough, he turned toward her when she was a tail-length’s away. Her Periwinkle eyes met his sapphire blue eyes, and doubt creeped into Daisy’s head. What if John didn’t like mares taking initiative like this? What if he didn’t like her enough to kiss yet? What if they kissed and he didn’t like it because she was so inexperienced?
“Daisy?”
But she was going too fast now to stop. John was inches away now and it would surely be awkward to do anything else at this point. So Daisy pounced on the taller pony’s arm to pull herself upwards and quickly kissed his cheek.
He looked bewildered but pleased as she pulled away, which gave Daisy the courage to point upwards and say,
“Mistletoe! Happy Hearth’s Warming, John. Looking forward to our date!”
Not giving him a chance to respond, she bashfully ran all the way home, slightly giddy. Maybe next year, kisses would be a completely normal thing between them...
MOD/Splunge Sheep: I never do mistletoe memes with Daisy for this reason, lol.
Hope you like this little surprise, @amberaltering!
Daisy Daedal: I knew I shouldn’t have returned to the Crystal Empire...
MOD/splungecoyote: This Prom story is still continuing with @amberaltering- but we’re almost 3/4ths done!
Yay! I finally get to introduce Crystal Knight! I’ll post a character profile of him soon, but I made him to be an antagonist for Daisy (and ‘cause writing arrogant pricks is fun! XD)

A little late, but that’s the last one! I had fun drawing these big comics, but next event I may stick with the smaller sketch comics so I have time to interact with the community more. :)
MOD/splungecoyote: Daisy’s spending time with Naturally Unique, Raven Luster, @amberaltering, and Jonathan Ebony! She can get giddy around a lot of food- something she’ll probably regret it later!
