Just, you girls do your thing, and I’ll watch,” I answered. “You sure? We really don’t mind,” Sunset said. I sat down and shook my head. “Nah, it’s fine, really.” “If you’re sure,” Rainbow said, shrugging her shoulders. The girls exchanged a few words, and Rainbow Dash started an instantly catchy riff, Sunset joining in and adding to the thrill. Soon enough, everyone was playing their own instruments. Rainbow Dash sang the first line of the song, trading with Sunset every now and then. I got really into the song and found myself toe tapping along with the quick beat. By the time the song had ended, I was suddenly standing up, panting. All the girls were looking at me, some with surprise. “Told you he was a good dancer,” Sunset remarked with a hint of pride. I chuckled a little, feeling the full awkwardness of the situation. “Guess I kinda got carried away.” “It’s fine, pardner. That was some if the best dancin’ I’ve seen since mah cousin’s weddin’,” Applejack responded. “That was pretty cool, and I really liked when you suddenly started begging your knees and getting close to the ground,” Fluttershy added. I couldn’t help but blush at her comment. I would’ve responded, but there was suddenly a loud ring. “Aww man, that’s the bell. See ya’ around, Jake,” Rainbow Dash said, packing up her guitar. All the girls packed up their instruments and said their goodbyes, leaving just me and Sunset. “I gotta get back to class, but see you after school?” Sunset asked. I put my arms around her waist and said, “Sure, that’s fine.” I gave her a peck on the cheek, which she quickly returned before letting go and walking out. The rest of the day was somewhat dull. There wasn’t much to do, other than wait for school to let out. I was outside the school now, leaning against the statue that has the portal. It took a long time, but the final bell eventually rang and students began to file out of the school, a few waving at me. I smiled and returned their waves, while also looking around for Sunset. She eventually showed up and asked, “Umm, Rainbow Dash and Soarin were planning on seeing a movie, and asked if we wanted to go with them. I told them it’s up to you. If not, we could do something together... alone.” I smiled and remembered meeting Soarin the last time I was here. It was a lot of fun, and the guy seemed really cool. But the way Sunset had said ‘alone’ sounded a little...mischievous, and the look on her face said that she had something really...enticing planned.
