1000 Years Ago,
Ash almost hopped up and down with his nervousness and excitement.
This was going to be his first official date with Elara.
After the dance, she had also told him her address, lucky for him, and she told him to come on over whenever he felt like it.
Well, today he really just felt like it, for her of course.
The door opened up very slowly, “Ash?” Elara said, “Is that you?”
“Well who else would it be? The mail pony? Mail isn't delivered on Sundays you know,” he said.
“I know, I just wasn't sure.”
“Well, I was wondering if you’d like to go out on a date with me.”
She blinked in surprise, “As always you constantly amaze me.”
“That’s what I’m aiming for.”
“Well, it’s working out very well.”
“Good, but what’s your answer?”
She pondered the question, then frowned, “Unfortunately I’m far too busy to make time with you, but I’m also not busy enough to say no, so yes.”
Ash scratched his head in confusion, “What?”
She laughed, “That’s exactly how I feel about you right now.”
“Ha-ha, very funny, but nonetheless a fair point.”
“Yes, I do, but yes, you can take me out on a date this Friday at Six.”
“Deal.”
And that was how he ended up getting the date.
But now standing in front of her door on the set date, well… it made him very nervous and excited at the same time.
He waited for her to come out, and eventually she finally did.
She came out dressed in a very fancy dress while he was only in a fancy suit.
“You look lovely,” he said.
“Thank you,” she said blushing slightly.
“Wait, no, not just lovely, I can think of at least three other adjectives.”
“Yes, but which would be the best to use?” she asked.
“For now, I think that I will just go with my first option.”
“A very wise choice,” she said.
“Indeed,” he said, “Now then, will you please come with me to the date.”
“Well, since you said please my answer has to be a yes of course,” she said.
Ash held out his hoof to her and then together they walked to the location of their date. They eventually did finally come across it because the location was a park. They both slowly sat down in the gazebo and started to talk and eat.
They talked about life, what they hoped for, what they dreamed for, their hopes and wishes, and so on. They continued to share what they wanted to with each other, and when their date was finally over Elara slowly leaned over to his ear and quietly thanked him, and then, once again, she kissed him on the cheek. After that Ash had one of the biggest smiles that he ever had before, and he even went to sleep with that smile still on his face.
