Original Start Date: August 8, 2013
Apple Bloom sighs as she rolls over in bed, beside Starlight. The young stallion lays back and pants.
‘Well, that was different,’ Starlight comments. ‘Where did you get that idea?’
Apple Bloom blushes. ‘Well, uh, Ah found this book full o’ notes... One page had a lota circles and the word “Pinkie” written on it.’ She turns redder. ‘And, uh, Ah may have seen mah sis doin’ that t’ yer pa once...’
Starlight turns red. ‘Oh, uh, wow. Uh... Can we forget you mentioned that?’
‘Well, Ah know one thing that could help me ferget.’ Apple Bloom smirks and runs a hoof up Starlight’s chest.
‘What do you have in mind?’
The mare snuggles close to her coltfriend. ‘Jus’ cuddle me. Ya take a lot outa me.’
Starlight laughs and cuddles close.
Diamond Tiara does some late night trading on her tablet. On the opposite side of the bed from her, Featherweight sits balled up.
Diamond taps a button. ‘You know, if you wrote up your exploits with us, you would definitely get a ton of views.’
‘I-I-I don’t want to produce stories that are too d-dirty.’
‘Whatever~’ Diamond taps away. She smirks. ‘The pinkness of her skin is matched only by the pin-’
‘Stop!’
The young mare laughs. The door opens and Scootaloo trots in carrying bowls of ice cream on her wings.
‘Here ya go,’ the pegasus says, offering the bowls to her friends. ‘Oh, and Lemon says that we either have to keep it down or call it a night.’
‘Gee, I wonder whose fault that is, Scootaloo.’
Scootaloo frowns. ‘Not like that is all my fault.’
‘I can’t help it if I am just that good.’
‘Whatever. ‘Sides, Featherweight needs a break after all the work we put him through.’
‘Thanks, Scootaloo,’ the young stallion moans.
Scootaloo sits between her two friends while they eat.
‘Lemon does have a point, you know,’ Diamond comments.
‘What do you mean?’
‘Well, it seems to me that the only thing the three of us do together is fool around. We never go out and, you know, do couply things.’
‘What? We go out all the time,’ Scootaloo replies.
‘You and I do lunch as often as Silver and I. You and Featherweight go on regular dates together, too. But the three of us never go to lunch together or go on dates. All we ever seem to do is sex, sex, sex!’
‘ARG! Is that it? Come on, Diamond.’ Scootaloo looks at Featherweight. ‘What do you have to say about this?’
‘Hey, I learned back in Cheerilee’s class just to shut up and do whatever Diamond says.’ He eats a spoonful of ice cream. ‘Though she does have a point. The three of us only seem to meet for physical reasons.’
‘So what? You want to go on a date with two mares at the same time? Doesn’t that make you look like a creep?’
‘With your volume, half the town probably knows all three of us are intertwined,’ Diamond retorts. ‘Might as well let the other half in before Featherweight publishes his next story.’
Scootaloo snaps her attention to Featherweight. ‘You are publishing what!’
‘I wasn’t going to! You know I don’t like writing that sort of stuff!’
‘He’s fine skirting the details just to keep a “Teen” rating. You never know what he might write next.’ Diamond chuckles to herself as she makes a trade. ‘I’ll pay for the date.’
‘Well, why didn’t you say so!’ Scootaloo huffs and lays back.
The others roll their eyes and eat their ice cream.
Home from school, Sweetie Belle passes Rarity’s workshop on her way to her room.
‘Hi, Rarity~’ the diva sings. ‘I’m just popping in to wash up before I meet up with Image.’
Rarity looks over at her sister. ‘Looks like you already have, Sweetie.’
‘What?! How did you know I was out with him all night?’
‘Well, aside from you not coming home until now,’ -- Rarity levitates a few flecks of paint from Sweetie’s mane -- ‘there are other signs of your romantic dealings.’
Sweetie frowns. ‘I really hope that is water-soluble. That special shampoo is expensive.’
‘Given how often you see your coltfriend, you should just bathe in paint instead,’ Rarity snickers.
‘Rarity!’
‘Oh, I kid.’
Sweetie huffs and marches into the shower.
‘Though I am wondering when you are going to get bored with him like all your other coltfriends,’ Rarity calls.
‘What?!’ Sweetie shrieks. ‘How dare you say that about Image! What makes you think this is just some fling?’
‘Well, you made that same argument with Archer and Shady and Button and...’
Sweetie magically hurls a bar of soap, which her sister catches. ‘It is not like that with Image! I truly love him. ❤ He is the pony I was destined to be with ❤’
‘If that is true, then you don’t mind that I invited him over for dinner this weekend.’
‘You what!’
‘If you are truly meant to be together, then you don’t mind introducing him to your family.’
Sweetie grumbles.
‘Good. Then it is a date.’ Rarity laughs as she trots back to her room.
Sweetie’s mobile rings. ‘Yeah? … Now? But I have a date! … Fine!’
The young mare hangs up her mobile and snorts as she washes up.
Sweetie trots through campus in her finest white dress, one with sleeves long enough to hide hidden blades. She smiles and greets the other students and staff as she makes her way to Octavia’s office.
‘I’m here,’ Sweetie grumbles, entering the office.
A cream-colored unicorn sits across from Octavia.
‘Welcome. Sit,’ Octavia offers.
Sweetie watches the new pony as she takes a seat.
‘Sweetie, do you remember Moon Glow?’
‘We met when I started,’ Sweetie replies. ‘I haven’t seen her since to my knowledge.’
‘She’s been on assignment overseas. She is one of our better analysts and was helping set up operations in Neighpon, Equina, Inucheon and other nations in the area.’
‘Mazel tov,’ Sweetie congratulates.
‘And she is your new partner.’
‘What! I don’t need a partner!’
‘There is nothing wrong with having a partner. Once Lyra and Vinyl backed us up, Silver and I were at peak efficiency.’
‘I’m sure we’ll get along fine,’ Moon Glow says. ‘With me working analysis on your jobs and managing your performances, everything will go a lot smoother.’
‘Everything works fine now...’
‘Sweetie, this is an order,’ Octavia snorts. ‘You’re working together, even if it kills you.’
The young unicorn pouts.
Octavia shakes her head. ‘No. That came out wrong. I meant, even if I kill you.’
‘FINE!’ Sweetie looks away. ‘Can I go now? I have a date.’
‘You’re meeting him across town, right?’ Octavia smirks. ‘You have twenty minutes to get there. For every ten seconds you’re late, you’re getting a percent off your next exam.’
The young mare growls and gallops to the nearest window. Sweetie leaps out and rushes away.
Octavia laughs as she shows Moon Glow out. ‘Take some time to get settled. I’ll have an assignment for you in a few days.’
Starlight and Apple Bloom work in their office in the afternoon. Apple Bloom finishes her paperwork and gets up.
‘Ah’m gonna get dinner started.’
Starlight nods. ‘Just gotta finish some grading. I’ll be down in a couple minutes.’
‘Actually, Ah think you’ll be up in a sec.’
‘What?’
Starlight looks towards the doorway. Apple Bloom sways her hips and swishes her tail. The stallion stares, enthralled. The mare laughs and goes to make dinner.
‘What is up with her?’ Scootaloo grumbles, shoveling rice in her mouth. ‘She’s never been about dating before. I mean, sure, we went to lunch and stuff, but she never wanted to go on a date-date.’
Scootaloo sets down her rice bowl. She picks up a cup of tea and drinks. Rei laughs at her guest.
‘When was the last time you treated her special?’ Inkie asks.
The guest eats a piece of tempura. ‘Duh. Last night. You should have heard her howl.’
Rei snickers. ‘Inkie meant when was the last time you treated her as something more than somepony you fool around with.’
Scootaloo blushes. ‘What? Ya know I ain’t one for that romance stuff.’
‘That is probably why she sees Featherweight as a way to bring a thrill back to your relationship,’ Inkie states.
‘We have plenty of thrills!’
Inkie shakes her head. ‘You should have learned how to romance a pony from Rei instead of Rainbow Dash.’
‘Hee hee. Remember the first time we had a picnic on a cloud?’ Rei remenices.
‘Oh! I was so scared about falling. That was back before I trusted flying with you. You’re so small, I didn’t think you could carry me.’
Scootaloo moans. ‘But that is boring stuff! Can’t I take her to a rock concert or something like that?’
‘Only if that is what she wants,’ Inkie replies.
‘If you can’t think of something grand she would like, why don’t you do something small that you know would mean a lot to her?’ Rei offers.
‘Like what?’
‘You know Diamond better than we do.’
Scootaloo sighs and thinks. While she is occupied, she fails to notice a tempura broccoli disappear from her plate.
Apple Bloom cuddles on top of Starlight. She nuzzles and kisses the stallion’s cheek. Starlight laughs and kisses her.
‘Why all the affection recently?’
Apple Bloom gives Starlight a hug. ‘Ah jus’ want ya t’ know how much Ah love ya’
‘Does this have to do with your trip next week?’
Apple Bloom groans. ‘Maybe...’
‘Don’t worry about that. It is only for a few days. Nothing bad will happen.’ Starlight kisses his fillyfriend. ‘How about this? We do anything you want today. I’ll even bend causality as much as I can to make you happy.’
‘Anythin’ ya say...’ Apple Bloom lays. ‘Hmm... Ah haven’ been t’ a baseball game in ferever.’
Starlight checks him mobile. ‘The Nationals are playing the Aurochs today. Oh! The game starts in a hour. Not enough time to make it on the next train.’
‘Ya said somethin’ ‘bout messin’ with causality fer me?’
Starlight laughs. ‘Catapult.’ He climbs out of bed. ‘All right. You pick the seats and I’ll get them then be back to teleport us to Canterlot.’
Apple Bloom laughs and looks at the seating chart.
Sweetie Belle escorts Image to her home. The stallion is nervous about dinner with Rarity. He is dressed in his finest suit, which Sweetie ‘borrowed’ from a coworker’s wardrobe. The young mare adjusts the tie around her coltfriend’s neck.
‘Don’t worry about it. Rarity will love you.’
‘I-I know. I have met families before, but this is the most nervous I have been. This is very important to me.’
Sweetie kisses Image’s cheek. ‘You’re very important to me too.’
Sweetie opens the door and leads Image inside. The stallion immediately freezes in place.
‘Welcome to our home,’ Rarity greets.
‘Hiya!’ Spike joins.
Image stares at the dragon before him. ‘Uh... hi...’ He edges towards Sweetie. ‘Why is there a dragon here?’
‘Oh, Spike?’ Rarity answers. ‘He’s here just in case.’
‘In case of what?’
The older mare grins evilly. ‘In case you give the wrong answer.’
Image pales.
‘Rarity!’ Sweetie yells. ‘Be nice to him.’
The older unicorn bats a hoof. ‘Oh, I’m only teasing, darling. Spikey-wikey is my boyfriend.’ She nuzzles against the large dragon. ‘He is such a dear. He’d never hurt anypony... unless I wanted him to.’
‘Rarity, stop scaring him,’ Spike sighs. He extends a claw to Image. ‘Nice to meet you.’
Image stares at the claw that is a big as his foreleg and nervously extends a hoof. ‘L-likewise.’
‘It will still be some time before dinner is ready.’ Rarity motions towards a parlor. ‘We can get to know each other while we wait.’ She levitates a glass and a bottle. ‘Care for some wine, Mr Image?’
‘Uh, no thanks. I don’t drink except at functions where it is expected.’
‘That is understandable.’ She smirks. ‘But what kind of wine does Sweetie like?’
Image raises an eyebrow. ‘She doesn’t drink either, nor have we ever considered it.’
Rarity smiles. ‘Very good. That’s the first test passed.’
‘Rarity!’ Sweetie growls at her sister.
‘Don’t worry, Sweetie Belle. It is not like you didn’t expect me to have a little fun.’
The younger unicorn frowns. Rarity laughs and pours herself some wine before chatting with Image.
Starlight and Apple Bloom teleport back to the library. Both are dressed in baseball gear and carry souvenirs.
‘Ah had a great time.’
‘It was your idea, silly. You always have the best ideas.’
‘Then why did ya only get me three fly balls.’
‘If I got more, don’t you think they would have caught onto my little teleportation trick?’
‘Yer are jus’ sayin’ that cause ya were gettin’ tired.’
Starlight kisses Apple Bloom’s cheek. ‘Not too tired.’
‘In that case...’ Apple Bloom circles around her coltfriend, rubbing her body against his and running her tail under his nose. She leans close to his ear and opens her mouth. ‘Can ya go back and get us some of them burgers from that place? We fergot ‘bout makin’ dinner.’
Starlight laughs and readies a spell. ‘Anything for you, my love.’
The unicorn teleports away. Apple Bloom laughs and takes their things to their room.
Sweetie Belle gives Image a kiss before the stallion leaves. The young mare sighs as she watches him go. She closes the door and turns back with a frown.
‘Well?’
‘Well, what, Sweetie?’ Rarity asks.
‘Aren’t you going to tell me how wrong we are together?’ Sweetie accuses. ‘Well, you’re wrong! I love Image, and he loves me! If you can’t accept it, then I am moving out and getting a place with him! He makes enough as an artist, and I make a killing with my singing, so we can get a great place of our own!’
‘If you insist. I’ll even help you shop for a nice home,’ Rarity replies calmly.
‘Huh?’
‘You and Image are wonderful together. I can see that you care for him as much as he cares for you.’
‘Really?’
Rarity nods. ‘Really, Sweetie. I hope you two will be happy together.’
Sweetie squeals and hugs her sister. ‘Thank you, Rarity! You don’t know how much it means to get your approval.’
‘Of course, Sweetie. I won’t let anything stand between my sister and her happiness.’
‘You’re the best!’ Sweetie lets go, blushes and looks away. ‘Um, I should probably tell you that we are having sex...’
Rarity fakes a gasp. ‘Oh my! I never would have guessed. That is such a shock to me.’
Sweetie growls, ‘Twenty-seven before Spike can lift a claw.’
Rarity pats her sister on the head as she trots away. ‘Don’t worry. I won’t tell mom and dad... just like your last coltfriend.’
‘Thank you!’ Sweetie prances toward her room. ‘Wait. You know about me and my last coltfriend?!’
The next evening, Featherweight flies to the back of Diamond and Pinkie’s home and business. He knocks on the door and fixes his mane. Diamond answers and smiles.
‘Good to see you’re punctual, though I was expecting Scootaloo to arrive before you.’
‘Y-yeah. She is usually early for our dates too.’
‘You can come in while we wait. There is still some time before our reservation.’
‘I’m here. Keep your skirt on.’
The others look at the arriving pegasus. Featherweight’s wings shoot up. Diamond smiles and sighs happily. Scootaloo is wearing a dress. Her mane and tail are styled, and her wings are preened.
The young mare blushes under the stares she is getting. ‘Well, come on. We don’t have all night.’
Diamond trots beside her friend and gives her a kiss. ‘You look beautiful, Scootaloo.’
‘Y-yeah. Beautiful,’ Featherweight stammers.
Scootaloo smiles. ‘Thanks... both of you.’
Diamond leads the others away. ‘Come along, my love. Let’s have a great first date!’
The pegasi follow.
‘This is only your first date?’ Featherweight asks.
‘Shut up,’ Scootaloo snorts.
‘Have a good first date then.’ Featherweight kisses Scootaloo and leaves the mares to go out together.
Diamond looks back at Scootaloo. The pegasus sighs and trots off on her first real date with Diamond Tiara.
