(7) The Date

Part 1 Prepare


I woke up to hear Twilight telling me that somepony was at the door for me. I got out of bed and walked downstairs.
I saw Radioflash standing at the door with a bouquet of flowers in his hoof. I smiled at him and told him to come in.
"I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight...?" he asked. I could see sweat falling from his head.
"I don't think so..." I said. "Why do you ask?"
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"I was wondering if you, um... wanted to go, out... on a date... tonight with me...?"
He stared at me with an awkward smile on his face as he stumbled on his words. I smiled at him and took the bouquet out of his hoof. I gave him a peck on the cheek, causing him to stop talking.
"I would love too." I smiled at him.
He smiled at me and gave me another kiss.
"How does dinner time sound?" he asked. "I can come pick you up at around, 5:00."
"Sure, I'll see you tonight, then...?"
He nodded and smiled at me. I waved at him as he left the house.
After the door shut, I realized that I wanted to look my best. Radioflash deserves somepony like me.

I frantically knocked on Rarity's door. She opened it.
"Oh, hello Script! How are you?" she said.
"Rarity, I need your help!" I panted. "Radioflash is taking me out tonight and I need help getting ready, could you help me out?"
"Say no more, Darling."
She pulled me into her boutique. I found myself on one of her stands. She pulled some of her outfits out of nowhere, searching through them.
She finally pulled out a pink flower dress. I stared at it with my mouth open.
"Its... its..." I muttered. "beautiful..."
Rarity smiled at me.
"What are you waiting for, Darling, go try it on!"
I took it out of her hoof and went into the dressing room. After I got dressed, I walked out so Rarity could do my mane.
She took a few steps back when she finished. She pulled out a mirror for me to look. I smiled.
I gave my friend a hug.
"Thanks Rarity. You always know what to do."
I looked at the clock. It was 11:30. I suppose that I must of slept in late. I thanked Rarity again and headed out back to my house.


Part 2 The Accident


There was a knock on the door. I opened it, finding Radioflash in a tux. I walked out with him.
"So, where are we going?" I asked.
"Cafe Hay sound good?" Radioflash smiled.
I smiled in response.
We approached the cafe. We took a seat at the tables outside. The waiter came over handing us a menu. After a few minutes, we decided what to have.
"I'll have a daffodil and daisy sandwich." I said handing the waiter my menu.
"Do you have any rubies?" Radioflash asked. The waiter looked at him with confusion. "No? Okay, I'll have the hay fries. Extra crispy, please." He handed the waiter the menu.
I gave out a soft chuckle. Radioflash blushed. I smiled at him.
When our food arrived, we talked some more. He would tell me jokes and I would tell him a few things I forgot to tell him at the Gala.
We decided to go for a walk after dinner, continuing our conversation from the cafe.
We began to grow tired so we decided to rest underneath a tree. I stared out into the sky, then into his emerald eyes.
His eyes turned from emerald to yellow. Out of nowhere, a flame ignited from Radioflash's mouth. I watched as the flame came toward me. I braced myself. I screamed as the flame's heat made contact. Radioflash stared at me in horror. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. My leg was burned along with some marks on my face.
"I'm... I'm..." Radioflash stuttered. Tears fell from his eyes. He turned and ran the other direction.
"Radioflash, wait!" I yelled, but he didn't turn around.
I hung my head, tears streaming down my face.
Come back, RaFlash...
I slowly walked back to my house.
