I smiled “Come on Sombra, relax.”
Sombra grumbled as he fiddled with his bow tie “I don’t get it Rarity, why are these foolish things worn?”
I giggled as he fumbled with his suit, I was wearing my favourite purple dress, it covered just enough of my flank to be modest while still being sexy. He finally got his bow tie on, I smiled bumping him with my flank as we left. Sombra asked “Where are we going?”
I smiled “The Lover’s Nest.”
Sombra asked “Isn’t that the place that sparked the whole incident.”
I frowned “It was caused by an employee who had a grudge against Trixie. But tonight is not the time to worry about thing like that, let’s have some fun.”
We arrived at the restaurant, a Griffin said “Ah Miss Rarity, come this way.” I smiled and nodded we followed him to a small table.
A golden griffin approached us, he introduced himself “I’m Golden Goose the owner of this establishment.”
I smiled “My friend Trixie came here and I thought I’d check out the place for a first date.”
He sighed “I’m glad you came , this place’s business has been at an all time low since the incident, we have not had one customer in the last week.”
Sombra smiled “Well we’re glad to be here, I feel that she has been a little to flirty with me for us not to try this.”
I smiled “I know you like it, after all it makes you blush like a schoolfilly.” I laughed as Sombra’s cheeks lit up “Just like that.”
Sombra asked nervously “Um can we order our food?”
Golden Goose smiled “Of course.”
Sombra said “I’d like a fire braised Pork.”
I asked “May I have a simple cheese salad?”
Golden Goose smiled “You orders will be ready in 20 minutes.”
I raised an eyebrow at Sombra “Why did you order a meat dish?”
Sombra responded “I developed a taste for meet over my years in the empire after all I had to deal with Diplomats and their gifts of exotic foods. I got quite a few meat dishes.”
I smiled “I see, that makes sense.”
Sombra asked “How has work been?”
I grimaced “I’m behind still, all this stuff going on has put me behind. I probably will have to spend the next few night working to get everything done on time.”
Sombra sighed “Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up.”
I put a hoof on his shoulder “I’m glad that you are concerned about my work, I will get it done.”
Sombra smiled “Thanks.”
I smiled back “Anything for you Sombra, you have helped me so much.”
Sombra sighed “I did what I had too, I’m not a good stallion Rarity.”
I slapped him “You helped me didn’t you, you protected an innocent mare from my hooves! You have changed for the better, so don’t talk yourself down.”
Sombra sighed “Do you know why I turned to the darkness?” I shook my head, He said “I was a bold stallion gifted in magic and extremely powerful, in my hubris I believed I was more deserving than anypony else. I studied dark magic for years until I became so capable I twisted my form to attain immortality and then took over the Crystal Empire. Then I challenged Celestia and Luna to a duel to prove who was better but I lost and well you know the rest.”
I frowned “Yeah but that’s it’s time to move froward the past is not there to chain you down but to launch you into the future.”
I heard the clatter of plates on the table I turned around to see Golden Goose smiling “Here is you food, don’t mind me you were having a heartfelt moment and I didn't want to interrupt.”
A voice boomed outside “TRIXIE GET BACK HERE!” I turned around to see Trixie sticking her tongue out before disappearing. Then I saw an angry green mare with a bright teal mane, then I noticed the wings and the horn.
I sighed “Twilight of course.”
Sombra chuckled “Well at least we have entertainment.”
I giggled “Yeah, Trixie is really picking up some of Discord’s tendencies.” I blinked “Is it raining Gummy Bears?”
Sombra frowned “It is, urghh we may have to stay for a while after eating.”
Golden Goose smiled “Don’t worry about it, we have suites in the building for couples, it is free with any meal.”
I smiled “Thanks for the offer, I don’t think I could handle the crazy out there.”
Golden Goose laughed “Neither could I.”Me and Sombra quickly finished eating before being guided to a room, it was brilliant red with a beautiful blue bed with a white mattress on it. I was stunned, Golden Goose grinned “Welcome to one of our love rooms, there’s champagne in the fridge over there if you want to do it in here.”
I turned around to see a light blue fridge, I grinned as I waved a bottle of wine in his face “Looks like we’re going to have fun tonight.” Let’s just say we made quite a bit of noise that night.
