Twilight was just a little bit lonely ever since she saw Flash Sentry. She knew that if she went back to Canterlot High, that Flash would ask her out. And if that happened, then she wouldn't be available in the pony world. She decided to ask Cadence for some advice. But, she didn't have a train ticket to get to the Crystal Empire. What is she going to do? She needs to get all of these voices in her head saying, "date Sentry and date a pony. It will work out perfect." and, "Don't date Sentry, long distance relationships never work." She was so confused. Until Spike came home with the mail.
"Hey Twilight, I got the mail and there's one from Princess Cadence."
Twilight grabbed the letter and inside was seven tickets to the Crystal Empire.
"YES!! THESE ARE EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!"
Twilight then hugged Spike and ran off to go get Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Spike followed her to see why she ran out like that. Twilight quickly got all of them without explaining why she needed them.
"Why did you make us all drop what we're doing, and follow you to the train station?" Asks Applejack while she's running.
"Because... um." Twilight tried to think of an excuse. "Cadence needed us."
"Oh. Why didn't ya' say so."
They got to the train station and had to wait for the train for the Crystal Empire. They waited for about one hour and the train finally showed up.
"It took long enough!" Said Pinkie Pie as she screams.
They got on the train and went to the Crystal Empire. Twilight went to the castle while the others looked around. Twilight tried to find Cadence and she just got in the shower. Twilight had to wait 30 min's for her to get out. when she came out, Twilight acted like she just came in so she wouldn't think she's stalking her. Cadence sees Twilight running down the halls.
"Oh Twilight. What a pleasant surprise."
"Cadence, I'm having a bit of trouble."
"What is it?"
"I have these voices in my head saying date Flash Sentry and a pony, and, Don't date Flash Sentry, cause' long distance relationships never work. Can you help."
"I've dealt with stuff like this before. The first voice in your head means you love Flash Sentry in the human world and the pony world. And the second voice in your head means, well, your afraid things won't work out between you two."
"Can you make it stop?"
"All I can do is force ponies to love each other. So, I don't know. Just find another stallion to get Flash Sentry off your mind."
Twilight was shocked with the answer Cadence gave her. But, if she wanted to make it stop, I guess that's how to do it. She got the others and they went to the train station. When they got on the train, Rarity asked her a question.
"Twilight. May I ask you a question dear?"
"Of course."
"Why did that take a short time?"
"Um, False alarm?"
"OK."
Twilight was relieved that Rarity didn't ask anymore than that. She didn't want any-pony to know about what she was thinking or why she was thinking it. They got to Ponyvile and by the time they did, it was almost 9:00 PM. Everyone went home and went to sleep. She had a dream that the stallion she met would be jealous of Flash Sentry and Flash Sentry would be jealous of the new stallion and they would fight. After that, she woke up, washed her face, and went back to sleep. She kept having that dream over and over again that night and barely got any sleep. In the morning, she decided to take a trip to Cloudsdale to get everything off her mind. She was walking into a gift shop when a stallion looks at her. She didn't quite mind it because every-pony looked at her because she was a princess. But he wasn't looking at her because she was a princess. When she found a gift for each of her friends, she went to the cashier to pay for it. She grabbed the bags, and left the gift shop. When she was about to leave, a stallion jumped out of a cloud, right in front of her.
"AH! Who are you!?"
"I'm Twilight Sky. I was looking over at you from a distance. And I thought, you were just so, magnificent."
"Why thank you."
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date with me to the tasty treat in Canterlot."
Twilight realized why he looked at her. And she was REALLY shocked. She didn't know what to say, what to do... So, she did what any mare would say to a stallion if he asked her to go on a date. She said,
"Yes."
When she realized what she had said, she almost past out.
"Great. Remember, Tasty Treats 8:30 tonight. See you there."
Twilight went home and fell on her bed and screamed,
"A DATE!!! WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!?!?!"
Spike heard her and wondered why she was screaming.
"Um, Twi? Why are you screaming?"
"I said yes, to a stallion I don't even know!"
"Slow down. You said yes?"
"He asked me on a date, and I said yes."
"Oh... Is that it?"
"Yes."
"When's the date?"
"Tasty Treats at 8:30 tonight."
"You better be getting ready. you have a date in 3 hours."
