The more I thought about it, the more I decided against pranking Sunset. The risk of it going wrong was just too great. Sunset might be having a bad day and not be in the mood for pranking or, considering she was on the bleachers, my prank might startle her too much and she could fall of them and get hurt. My mind just started coming up with all of these ways that my prank could backfire, and so I quickly decided to forget the whole thing. Besides, I wasn’t in Sunset’s world to prank her anyways, I was there to spend time with her.
Having come to my decision, I rounded the corner and made my way towards the bleachers. As I approached, I noticed Sunset staring off in the exact opposite direction of me, like she was looking for something. I considered calling out to her, but then I thought I’d wait until I was right next to her before saying anything. I might have decided not to prank her, but I could still surprise her.
Once I reached the bleachers, I quickly, yet quietly, ascended them and approached my girlfriend.
“Hey, Sunset.” I nonchalantly said as I took a seat next to her.
Sunset swiftly turned her head around and, upon seeing me, dawned an expression that seemed to be a mixture of surprise and worry.
“J-Jake?!” She said just before looking down. “Rainbow, don’t…”
“GOTCHA!” I heard a voice shout out from below just as I felt a pair of hands wrap around my ankles.
“Gah!” I yelled out, instinctively standing up from the surprise.
Before I knew it, the hands had let go of me and I found that I was losing my balance. I started to lean off to the side as if I were going to fall off the bleachers, but I was quickly caught by Sunset.
“T-Thanks.” I gratefully said to my girlfriend as she held me.
Sunset simply smiled back at me before turning her attention downwards again, now with a peeved look on her face.
“It’s not Pinkie, Rainbow, it’s Jake.” She said, sounding miffed. “Couldn’t you tell by the shoes?”
“Well excuuuse me for not being able identify people by their footwear, Sunset.” Rainbow Dash’s voice replied from behind the bleachers. “I’m not Rarity.”
I heard Sunset give a small groan before once again turning her attention to me.
“So sorry about that, Jake.” She apologized as she let go of me. “Rainbow and Pinkie have this prank war going on and Rainbow asked for my help pulling a prank. We were expecting Pinkie, not you.”
After taking a moment to appreciate the irony of being pranked after I’d decided not to pull a prank myself, I gave Sunset a warm and friendly smile.
“It’s fine, Sunset.” I assured her.
“Oh good.” Sunset replied in relief. “So what are you doing here?”
“I was hoping we could spend some time together.” I answered.
A small blush crossed Sunset’s face after I said that.
“Oh, well, I…I’d like that.” She meekly confessed, being as cute as ever, as she took my hand and we started walking down the bleachers.
“Hey!” Rainbow yelled out as we left. “What about my prank?!”
“Another time, Rainbow!” Sunset hollered back. “Right now, I’m spending time with my boyfriend!”
