Twilight Sparkle is the smartest student in Princess Celestia's school, but her awkwardness and poor social skills have ruined her chances of having any sort of dating life. Can she overcome her problems and find the perfect stallion? Will her older brother Shining Armor help or hurt her chances for love, as she goes on her first date ever?

This story takes place in Canterlot, about six months before the first episode of Friendship is Magic.

well its an interesting start if you plan to make more

What kind of college student still needs to have their parents take them everywhere?

I take offense to that question.

I loved the chapter I hope you write more

Wait a second...
Andrew is the name of my OC stallion.. :rainbowhuh:

1919295 You know, I didn't get my driver's license until I was a senior in college, because I failed my driver's test five times. :twilightsheepish: I get the sense that pony transportation works a bit differently than human transportation, though.

'five years from now i'll se single and you'll be married to a princess' :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh: omg, soooooo funny!!! WRITE MORE :pinkiecrazy:

1919295 So do I, I mean you ever heard of "Community College"? :trixieshiftright:

1921419 Oh Twilight you don't know how right you are. :rainbowlaugh:

Shining Armor and Fluer hm, well I wonder what caused them to drift apart and casued Fluer to marry Fancy Pants. :twilightoops:

Ah, the thick-headed people make the world go round!

Keep going!

This was interesting. I liked what character development you could fit into so short a chapter. The dialog reflected a personal understanding and experience with socially awkward situations. It could have been more descriptive though. In this, I can ask some of the following questions: What book was she reading? What did her room look like? What did the restaurant smell like? Elaborate more. I did enjoy this, and hope to read more of your work in the future.

The colt I was going to ask is...busy.

Lol.:rainbowlaugh: Seven times that kind of thing has happened to me, and that is why I gave up a long time ago. I am perfectly content just being their friend.:moustache:

1926449 I've never gone on a date before. Heck haven't even found a girl to ask out, I'm kind of like Twilight, socially akward. :eeyup:

1926449 I haven't even asked a girl out. I kind of socially akward just like Twilight. :twilightoops:

1926534 Well I haven't actually asked. The way I go about it is(In high school/collage mind you, in the real world this would never work and get me pepper sprayed, granted saying hi could get me pepper sprayed but still.) I say hi to her and have some basic convos, you know what is you name kind of stuff. Then I start hanging out with whatever social group she is in, mostly just being around them not really truly joining them just being around them. I would sometimes participate in their conversations if I know what they are talking about, 90% of the time I don't so I just absorb the information for later use. Eventually after a month or two we all become friends and they start talking about personal things with me around and around that time is when I find out that she has a boyfriend. So I keep the friends in the group that I made but I move to join another social click.

Creepy and serial killerish I know, but I can't help it I hate rejection and this is the way I get around it.

Sometimes a colt needs his flank kicked, especially a friggin mule like that blockhead. Celestia was right to be lenient, but she still needed to do something. I have a distinct feeling that colt will be getting a surprise visit from the Princess soon. Nopony gets away with hurting a mare under her wing.

There is much more dialog in this chapter. I love it!

Loved the censorship... :rainbowlaugh: still find it funny... favd

The luck she always has is amazing! I wish I could be as lucky as her...

Oh so maybe that's why Fluer and Shining Armor broke up. :pinkiegasp:

Twilight and Trixie dating, oh dear this won't end well. :twilightoops:/:trixieshiftright:

Why are you using human names like Adam and Andrew? It really breaks the flow of the story. It's not hard to make a pony name, just take a couple adjectives, nouns or verbs and combine them together, like Star Runner or Greendust or Pool Shine or something like that.

TWILIGHT IS THE NAME OF A HUMAN MOVIE POPULAR AMONG THE TEENAGED FEMALES OF THE HUMAN RACE.

Twilight and Trixie, huh? What a match-up. Sparks will fly!

This story right here...THIS story right here just wins at everything. Here have my lols:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

And... Then the hilarity will commence.

1939149 I think that Prinny is biased against Twilight, but he doesn't realize it.

1937291 Good point. Only Adam Spellen's last name is ponified. Let me fix that.

(Joke) Alt. Title: Andrew Pracely Is A JERK
...Or as I like to call him, "Prance Silly".

Cadence really jumped the gun there. I have a feeling Celestia will not be happy to hear about this. :twilightoops:

well now we know why Trixie:twilightsmile: went to ponyville; to inpress her "love" twilight.

1953130 I do have something special in mind for how this affects "Boast Busters". But now I'm worried that it's not good enough. Rewrite!

I hope you'll tag this as Alternative Universe as a result of this chapter or else people will get confused. :eeyup:

In all honesty even if my first date ended in disaster I'd likely just try to learn from it and hope I didn't make the same mistakes next time. Practice makes perfect for these kind of situations. Oh well perhpas there's hope yet for Twilight and Time Turner. :eeyup:

This is just getting crazier with every chapter. I'm loving it, Arglefumph!

NOoOoOoOoOo she turned down the doctor!!!!!!!!!:fluttercry:

The poor colt has two names huh, Longsight and Farsight...

Better fix that. :rainbowwild:

2002272 Dude changes his name a lot, I guess. His name used to be "Adam". Thanks for the catch!

Well I guess I am not completely surprised the doctor can be a bit of a jerk sometimes.

I'm glad that I stumbled across this, it was a really great read. Really, I loved all of it, though Trixie's role was my favourite part - and very unexpected at that. Actually, the story surprised me a bunch of times, which was very refreshing.

From the description, I thought Shining was going to end up taking Twilight on a date and the story would end up being a cute, brother-sister bonding/friendshipping thing. Obviously, that was far from what happened, but I still really enjoyed how the everything went. And how everything fell into place as the story went on - including Celestia's plans for Twilight, Shining breaking up with his old marefriend etc. - was handled very well.

And I thought your characterisations were all spot on, too :twilightsmile:

Overall, a very enjoyable story that was told wonderfully. I'll be watching to see if you publish anything else in a similar vein! Or continuity, perhaps... I know I'd like to read more about Twilight and Trixie's relationship after they meet in Boast Busters!

This can't possibly go wrong...:rainbowlaugh:

In other news, Twilight predicts the future: "Five years from now, I'll still be single, and you'll probably be married to a princess or something like that."

Oh no... I WAS RIGHT this is going to go wrong. The Awkward-O-Meter is off the charts! :rainbowlaugh:

:trixieshiftleft::heart::twilightblush: = :trixieshiftright::pinkiegasp::facehoof: :raritydespair::raritycry:

Ha, I was SO right. The Awkward-O-Meter is going to need repairing after this! Cadance, you idiot. :rainbowlaugh:

:trixieshiftright::heart::twilightblush: = :raritycry::raritydespair::flutterrage::pinkiegasp::flutterrage::raritycry::raritydespair::derpyderp1::pinkiegasp::flutterrage::raritycry::raritydespair:

That was good. Very good. I fixed the Awkward-O-Meter, but it seems i didn't need it after all. Overall, very well done.

And things take a sudden turn for the crazy! :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Dan

Prancy might be a bum, but you gotta pity him a bit for being a cosmic buttmonkey plaything.

She can't find a colt friend because she hasn't realized she is in to mares yet. I love TwiLuna :heart:

Twixie isn't a bad ship either:twilightsmile::heart::trixieshiftleft:

No wanting to date the Doctor, who does she think she is Martha Jones.

"Why did the kiss wake him up?" Twilight asked.
"Because that's how the curse worked, remember?" Shining said. "It could only be undone by true love's first kiss."

Fun Fact: In older versions of the story, it wasn't just a kiss. She wakes up after giving birth!

Longsight Spellen frowned. Did she somehow not think he was a grown adult, capable of taking care of himself? What kind of college student still needs to have their parents take them everywhere?

I find that hardly offensive
