//------------------------------// // Chapter 27 // Story: Date-Your-Own-Dashie // by CategoricalGrant //------------------------------// “Well, it was good meeting you,” you respond in a friendly farewell. “I should be getting back to Rainbow Dash with her drink.” Spitfire regards you coldly for a moment before she shrugs and nods. “Alright. I’ll see you around; have fun at the event.” Grinning widely at the captain once more, you head back over to the table with your two drinks. You place one down right next to Rainbow Dash, startling her. “Ah! Oh...oh it’s you,” she breathes, clearing her throat. “Caught you daydreaming, eh?” You take a seat and begin sipping your drink. She rolls her eyes. “Sorta. I wasn’t scared, though!” “Uh-huh.” You and Rainbow Dash trade friendly barbs as you finish your drinks and pony-watch together. While it’s a pleasant enough experience, you can’t shake the feeling that Rainbow Dash is growing a little bored. To keep talking with her for the rest of the evening, proceed to Chapter 31. To suggest that you both leave and head back to Ponyville, proceed to Chapter 32. To skip out on the event and explore Canterlot together, proceed to Chapter 33.
