#When the player speaks to Sunny Meadows:

[SMStart]
SM: *sigh*

>What’s up? You look nervous. :SMWhat’sUp

[SMWhat’sUp]
SM: Oh! I’m sorry! I didn’t want to ignore you! I’m so, so sorry!

>Hey, hey, it’s fine! No harm done! Is anything wrong? :SMAnythingWrong
>You better be. I don’t like it to get ignored :SMAngry

[SMAnythingWrong]
SM: Thanks. You’re kind. There is this colt in my class and I think he has a crush on me. And it’s making me so nervous, I don’t want any colts crushing on me!
Hey… Can I ask you for a favor?

>Sure! What do you need? :SMYouNeed
>Sorry, but I don’t have any time for that. :SMReject

[SMAngry]
SM: S-Sorry, I didn’t mean to. It’s just that I’m so nervous… There’s this colt in my class and I think he has a crush on me, but I don’t want any colts crushing on me…
C-Can I maybe ask you for a favor?

>Fine… But only because I have my generous day. What do you need? :SMYouNeed
>No, I’m not helping ponies who ignore me. :SMReject

[SMReject]
SM: Oh. Okay. I’m sorry for bothering you…

#CANCEL QUEST
*goto END

[SMYouNeed]
SM: I’m not sure if he has really a crush on me or if I’m just seeing things and I would feel so much better to know that it’s just my imagination. But I don’t dare to ask him myself…
Could you do this for me?

>Okay, I’m on it! :SMAccept
>Sorry, I don’t think I can do that. :SMReject

[SMAccept]
SM: Thanks. His name is Tornado Twist. He should be in the park at this time. I hope you return with good news…

{[Love Is In The Air]IAAM Crush} :Sunny Meadows, one of the school fillies, asked me to find out if her classmate Tornado Twist has a crush on her. I should find him in the park.
*goto END

#When the player speaks to Tornado Twist:

[TTStart]
TT: I just can’t get this filly out of my head anymore. Her long, green mane... Her yellow eyes... She’s so beautiful! Even her name... Hearing it is like– Oh, sorry! I didn’t see you there!

>It’s fine. I’m here to ask you something. :TTAsk
>What is it with ponies ignoring me today? :TTIgnore

[TTIgnore]
TT: Sorry, that wasn’t on purpose! There’s just this filly that I can’t forget and it’s making me a little crazy.

>More like a lot crazy… Whatever. I’m here to ask you something. :TTAsk
>Well, now you can forget me. I’m sick of ponies pretending I’m not even there. :TTLeave

[TTLeave]
TT: Okay! Just come back anytime if you change your mind!

#CANCEL QUEST
*goto END

[TTAsk]
TT: What is it?

>I’ve heard some ponies saying you have a crush on Sunny Meadows. Do You? :TTDoYou
>Nevermind. I just remembered there’s something else I have to take care of. :TTLeave

[TTDoYou]
TT: So other ponies have already noticed? I do! I have to think about her all day long! Isn’t this wonderful?

>Absolutely! You should totally go and ask her out! I’m sure she’s enthusiastic about it beyond all measure! :TTEnthusiasm
>Yeah, it is. But be careful around her. She’s really nervous over the prospect of a colt crushing on her. :TTNervous
>Not for her. She’s completely afraid of you. Leave your hooves off of her, weirdo, or you will regret having met me! :TTAfraid

[TTNervous]
TT: Oh. I didn’t know that. I guess I can’t just give her this letter and ask her if she wants to be my marefriend then... Thanks for telling me! I will take it slow with her.

[TTAfraid]
TT: Hey, there’s no reason to be so aggressive! It’s not like I want to harass her, or something. I just wanted to ask her to become my marefriend… But fine, I won’t talk to her. Now leave me alone!

[TTEnthusiasm]
TT: You really think so? Then I will try! I have already written a love letter for her. But I’m too shy to give it to her in person. Would you deliver it for me?

>I’m always happy to help a love-struck colt in need! :TTAccept
>I think it’s better for your confidence if you do it yourself. :TTReject

[TTReject]
TT: Oh, bummer! How should I gather the courage? Thanks for nothing, I guess…

#CANCEL QUEST
*goto END

[TTAccept]
TT: Excellent, buddy! Here it is. I can’t wait to get her answer!

{[Love Is In The Air]IAAM Letter} :I talked with Tornado Twist and found out about his crush on Sunny Meadows. Now it’s time to return to Sugarcane Corner to tell her the news.
*goto END

#When the player returns to SM:

[SMReturn]
*hasitem? 50 :SMLetter

[SMLetter]
SM: Oh, finally you’re back! I couldn’t have waited much longer. Have you talked to him? What did he say? Please tell me that he hasn’t a crush on me!

>He totally has! He even gave me a love letter to deliver it to you! Here! :SMGiveLetter
>Well, it looks like he has, sorry. But don’t worry, he promised not to hassle you when he heard how nervous you are about that! :SMHassle
>He has confessed to have a crush on you, but there’s no reason to be worried. I threatened him and now he won’t even do as much as just talking to you! :SMThreat

[SMNoLetter]
SM: Oh, finally you’re back! I couldn’t have waited much longer. Have you talked to him? What did he say? Please tell me that he hasn’t a crush on me!

>Well, it looks like he has, sorry. But don’t worry, he promised not to hassle you when he heard how nervous you are about that! :SMHassle
>He has confessed to have a crush on you, but there’s no reason to be worried. I threatened him and now he won’t even do as much as just talking to you! :SMThreat

[SMGiveLetter]
SM: What?! Oh no! I-I can’t blame you for it that he has a crush on me, but why did you bring me a love letter from him? T-That was really mean of you, you know how nervous I am! Now go away, I need to think about what I should do now!

#END QUEST
*goto END

[SMHassle]
SM: Oh my goodness, I knew he has! At least he’s not asking me out... Thanks for talking to him. Here, I give you half of my pocket money for this month for trying to help me. But now I really need to think about what I should do now, bye!

#END QUEST
*goto END

[SMThreat]
SM: You did what? But that’s not what I said! I just asked you to find out if he has a crush on me, not to scare him, he’s no bad colt! Here, I give you a little bit of my pocket money for trying to help, but please be nice to other ponies in the future!

#END QUEST
*goto END

Reward(s): 20 bits if player chose dialogue option SMHassle at the end, 10 if player chose SMThreat, none if player chose SMGiveLetter
I have moved to Buzzly.Art because of Eclipse and will migrate all my MLP: FiM fanarts and my other pony creations to it. This "Legends of Equestria" quest won't get deleted, but I am not uploading here anymore and I don't interact with my uploads any longer. This includes new watchers, favourites, collection adds, comments and llamas.
Here is the link to the reupload of this "Legends of Equestria" quest on Buzzly.Art:



The quest I have written for my application as quest writer for "Legends of Equestria". Published with permission by MysticMorning, lead of the Writing Department of the LoE development team.



This is the quest that got me a position as quest writer for "Legends of Equestria"! I could get permission to publish it in order to show what got me into the team and, for those interested, how a quest for "Legends of Equestria" is written, because the quest won't be in the game.
If you always wanted to know how a quest for "Legends of Equestria" looks from the quest writer's perspective, read the quest above to find out! There's a tiny thing I had to remove, but it isn't affecting the story of the quest.

For the details about me becoming a quest writer for "Legends of Equestria", you can read up on that in these blog entries:

Please note that I can't answer any questions about the development of the game and any future content of the game, as I'm under a very strict NDA. Doing so would get me expelled from the team immediately and I also don't want to spoil future game content. I'm also not allowed to tell you anything about future OSWs, so please don't ask me when the next OSW happens either, I won't be able to answer.
Comments/Messages with questions about future content of the game and anything else about it that was not publicly announced will be ignored.
Please keep that in mind. I have no permission to tell you anything that I know and I also don't want to tell you such confidential things.
