//------------------------------// // Chapter Two: // Story: One long Summer // by Psyco_brit //------------------------------// "Your kidding right ?" Bright Spark was still taken aback by Book Smarts last comment. "Well ... Its not so much that I don't drink its just I haven't tried it yet." Book Smart replied, rather still focused on unpacking her saddlebags. "hasn't tried drinking "yet" " Bright Spark thought with a smile. At least she may be up for trying some cider if we do end up going out tonight, putting that thought to one side of his mind, He continued. "Never mind that you don't drink, I could understand that. What I can't understand is, How you have never heard of Dj-poni3!" Bright spark was still recoiling his sanity, he was currently thinking he should start throwing CD's at Book Smart while shouting "Listen to them" repeatedly, He decided against that instead opting for the more rational course of action. Bright Spark made his way over to his Saddlebags and levitated out his CD player and a random CD "Here, I only packed Dj-pony CD's, cause her music has everything, mainly because she plays a variety of styles of music" he said while laying down the items on his bed and setting up the CD. "She mainly plays Dub-step. By Luna that mare loves her Dub-step." he said chuckling "But I prefer her other CD's, you might like this one to" he said as he hit play and began making his way back to her side of the room to help with unpacking. "How many books can one pony carry". Thought Bright Spark as the beginning of the song began to play. "Wait a minute Which song is this? ... Oh Celestia no, please no!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book Smart was intently listening to a song, nodding her head to the tune as she put Higher Pony Mathematics. By Square Root. on to her shelf above her bed. "He's right this is a really catchy song, and has really good lyrics" she looked at Bright Spark to say so, when she saw he was holding the worst poker face she had ever seen, and... "He's blushing, why is he blushing" it was true, the stallion's cheeks were as crimson as his mane. "oh" Book Smart realised "its the song, its about love and romance, he must of chosen a CD at random, and he thinks I'm going to laugh at his taste in music." She concluded as Bright Spark was making himself look busy by pretending to read one of Book Smart's books which must have been really difficult seeing as how it was upside down. " I don't see why though, I'm a mare, I'm supposed to like this kind of music so why would I make fun of him for the song? and its only us two here so .... oh! Book Smart suddenly realised, her cheeks were blazing red as well. "Now I get it, he doesn't think I'm going to make fun of him, he's worried I'm going to think he's coming on to me." She thought, still blushing franticly. "What if he is?" a voice in her head asked, and she was surprised that the idea made her heart skip a beat rather then fill her with dread. "You were right." Book smart said to brake the awkwardness (not to mention trying to ignore the voice in her head) "This song is really nice" "Dj-Poni3 can sing really well" she concluded "What?" Bright spark looked confused "Oh Dj-poni3 isn't the one singing, she's just making the music, I'm not sure who is singing, the song was made for the royal wedding, I heard it was the grooms sister, but I have no idea who she is." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight who had been passing by the open door of the bedroom was now blushing a deep scarlet "And you never will if I have anything to do with it." She thought fighting back laughter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bright Spark had stopped blushing by the time the CD came to an end. "Thank Luna it was only a single" he breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Book Smart. "So now your unpacked, what do you say?" "About what?" Book Smart asked "Heading out to that new club tonight, I read up on Ponyville, the club is called "WUBZ", and apparently its the only good hangout around here" said Bright Spark "You wouldn't have to drink you could come with me for company, it sucks going to a bar alone. And if you did want to drink I could even buy your first drink." he finished "Well..." Book Smart smiled mischievously. "OK. But not only do you have to buy me my first drink... But you also have to dance." Bright Spark recoiled in horror "No deal, not a chance, no way in Tartarus, will you ever get me to dance" the very idea terrified him. "a'wwwwww come on" Book Smart pretended to sulk. The face she made was far to cute for Bright Spark to resist. "She is really cute you know, and if you dance, she might dance with you." He pondered the idea for a moment. "NO" He used all his will power, to look away from the onslaught of cuteness she she was throwing at him " I.Don't.Dance!" he outlined each word carefully to make sure Book Smart got the point. "Relax Bright Spark" she said " I was only kidding. Well about the dancing part anyway" she smiled "On the other hoof, why go to a bar, we could have just as much fun going for a walk, and getting to know each other, instead of getting drunk of our flanks and having drunken conversations" Bright Spark very much doubted that this mare would ever get drunk, she seemed to be the type of mare who was a one pint pony, one drink and she stopped herself from having more. but all the same her Idea of a walk appealed to him. "A romantic walk through the park." he thought, "No you idiot she did not mean a date, She just needs to be educated on what fun is." he smiled and turned on his best Trottingham accent (his normal Trottingham accent was littered with slang) and began. "Well my dear mare, over the last year of my life I have made a discovery. Ponies are far better company when drunk, as they let their emotional walls down and it is easier to get to know them. in laypony's terms: A drunk mind speaks a sober heart" he finished smiling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "OK Book Smart you can't go to that bar, your not even friends, just acquaintances really, and you need to be in good shape tomorrow for Miss sparkle's lesson, It doesn't matter if he sounds like that stallion out of those spy movies you like" "OK what time should we head out" she found herself saying. "What the buck, Mare" Bright Spark smiled and looked at the clock on the wall. "Its five now, so we can head out at half-seven get to the club for about eight, sound good?" "Yeah, that will give me time to get ready" Book smart said not entirely how he'd managed to get her to agree to this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
