It has been a week since summer started for the Sunset and Twilight. They had been going to the park a lot the last few days, mainly spending the day having a picnic, watching the little kids play, feeding the ducks, and even bringing Spike to the dog park. The couple had been enjoying their summer so far and it couldn’t get any better.
It was now Sunday morning as the sun peeked into Twilight’s room waking them up. When they were up and about they smiled at each other in their pajamas and messy bed hair.
“Good morning Twilight. Sleep well?”
“Yep. Sure did,” said Twilight as she played with a bit of her hair.
“So what should we do today? Head back to the park again?”
“That’s exactly what I thought. But for now, let's do our laundry and have breakfast first.”
“Sniff sniff and maybe a shower too,” said Sunset after sniffing herself like Spike as the two giggled before getting out of bed.
After doing their laundry and having waffles for breakfast the two girls headed off to the park each wearing outfits that matched them the way they liked them.
Twilight was wearing a long dark purple skirt along with a light blue button-up shirt with her geode, as well as a purse she brought. Some added jewelry on her arms, along with her ordinary shoes and light blue socks. Sunset was wearing the leather jacket Twilight gave her a few weeks prior that she just didn't want to leave alone on a day like this. She a mint green shirt with a skull on it that Twilight was surprised Sunset owned, and a dark purple tartan pattern skirt that happened to be the same one Twilight wore when going to Crystal Prep Academy. She had a spare one she ended up giving to Sunset not too long ago Followed by her boots, a piece of jewelry on her left hand, and her shoulder bag as well.
When they arrived at the park they looked around them at how beautiful nature was doing on this warm and sunny morning. They went on a nice walk through the park while passing by a few familiar faces.
After their walk, they had lunch at a sit-down area with some sandwiches they brought.
Their day was going well and they both were happy they’d been able to spend some quality time together. Sure it's mostly been the same thing for the last week, but neither of them minded it. It was all about spending their time together as counted.
“Today sure has been great hasn’t it Sunset,” Twilight said holding her friend’s hand.
“Yep, it sure is Twilight,” Sunset said looking into her eyes.
“And do you know what would make it better?”
“What is it?”
“This.”
Twilight soon brings Sunset into a kiss which made them blush afterward as they looked down at the river below them from the bridge they were on. The day just couldn’t get any better.
“Hey Sunset, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask for a while now. I was wondering what you’d be interested in doing tonight?”
“Sure Twilight. I'm down. What is it?”
“I was thinking we’d go out on another date. Since our first one was a complete failure, this one will be a redo after what happened during our first date.”
“That would be great Twilight, but do your parents know?”
“I talked to them about it and it's perfectly fine with them, as long as we get home by eleven.”
“Ok then. Sounds good to me. You know any place, in particular, we should head to dinner?” Sunset asked as she moved a bit of her red and yellow hair out of her face.
“There’s this new restaurant I saw open not far from here. It’s a burger place and I thought why not try it out?”
“That would be perfect Twilight,” Sunset said softly punching her in the arm before Twilight smiled.
“But if we’re going out, then maybe should we wear something fancy. Like a dress or just what we have right now?”
“I think we should. Come on.” Twilight replied before grabbing Sunset’s hand.
“Hey, hold a sec. Where are we going?” Sunset said as they started to run.
“There’s a clothing store just five minutes away from here. Maybe we can find something nice to wear for tonight?” Twilight said as her cheeks blushed red as she looked at her friend.
“That’ll be just what we need for our redo date.”
After the two girls shared a little giggle they head off to the clothing store.
When they stepped into the store it seemed to be not as busy at this time of day. It was Sunday morning after all and most people weren’t buying clothes this time of day.
Sunset and Twilight didn’t mind the quietness of the place. It was a nice change for once. But what matters what to find the perfect outfit to wear for their redo date.
After finding where the dresses were the two went off to find a dress of their choice. They came back a few minutes later each with a dress they liked. Oddly enough, the dresses they got were two pieces over one. While it did seem odd, it was an interesting find. They were even curious as to what Rarity would say about it.
After trying on the dresses they went to find a pair of shoes to go with the outfit before checking out and leaving with smiles on their faces, feeling excited for tonight.
It was almost 6 pm and the two girls had arrived at the restaurant fancied up in their outfits. Sunset’s two-piece dress was red with a big white bow in the middle and many silver speckles on it. Her hair was also curled up in a new style she had decided to go for.
As for Twilight, she was wearing a light pink two-piece shoulder dress with a few white speckles on it.
After going inside the restaurant they waited to be sent to their table while they looked at each other in their dresses.
“You look good Twilight.”
“You do as well Sunset. I especially like the way your hair is. I’ve never seen it that way.”
“Thank you. I thought it would be a nice touch.” Sunset replied with a blush.
After a nearly five-minute wait, they were taken to their table.
After ordering their drinks their waiter arrived to take their order.
“Good evening ladies. What can I get you?”
“I’ll take the vegan burger with a side of sweet potato fries," Sunset replied to the waiter.
“Ok then, how do you like your burger?”
“Medium rare please.”
“And what will you be having tonight miss,” the waiter asked, turning to face Twilight.
“I’ll have the mushroom burger with a side of waffle fries. And I’ll have my burger medium rare as well.”
“Ok then, I’ll get your order in.”
As the two waited for their food they talked a bit about what they should plan for the remainder of the summer, along with some vacation plans Twilight’s family wanted to do. They also received a long text from their friends about Rarity and Applejack having started their search for a summer job and were awaiting to see if they got accepted for the job they were hoping to get.
During their talk, Twilight asked Sunset something she hadn’t asked Sunset before about her family.
Sunset was fine with the question as she told Twilight about her family. It was small, not big as hers, but she did have two siblings. A younger sister named Sunlight, an older brother named Spotlight, and of course her parents Flare Star and Brightfire.
After their talk went by their food arrived.
“And here is your vegan burger and your mushroom burger with a side of fries. If you need anything else, please let me know.”
After thanking their waiter, they dug into their burgers and were shocked at how delicious they were. It was like something made from heaven that landed on their taste buds. The burgers even melted in their mouths.
“Oh my god, Twilight. This is probably the best burger I’ve ever had. We should take the girls here sometime.”
“Oh, we most definitely will,” Twilight replied, taking another bit of her burger.
After their dinner, they went back to the park to do some star gazing under the beautiful night sky.
They're not a cloud in sight as they sat down on a blanket while taking a look at the stars together. Their date was going pretty well as they wanted it to be and the two agreed it was going perfectly, way better than the first one.
“Tonight sure was great Sunset. I’m glad we got to go out on another date together,” Twilight confused.
“It sure was Twilight. I’m really glad we decided to do this. I was going to ask you on one anyway but you beat me to it.”
“Well, I do plan things ahead of time.”
The two girls giggled in reply to the comment.
“Do you wonder how people will think when they learn that we're dating when we start our senior year this fall?”
“Well most people at CHS I’m pretty sure won’t mind. If my family and our friends are then the students of CHS might as well too.”
“Yeah, I guess I never thought about that. I wasn’t sure what my future would be like before I became the way I am today. And I’d like to thank you for all the things you’ve done for me over the last few months. And I’m proud to call you my girlfriend Twilight.”
“Me too Sunset. Don’t mention it. Maybe for our next date, we can do something new. Maybe even attend the next Fall Formal too.”
“We’ll see about that. But for now, I only ask you for one thing from you Twilight.”
“What’s that Sunset?”
“May I have this dance?” Sunset said, lending her hand out to Twilight.
Twilight teared up a little as she knew that Sunset wanted to have a dance with her and she accepted it.
“I’d be glad to Sunset.”
“Thank you Twilight.”
After Sunset took out her phone to do a quick selfie she put on some nice music to play while they danced together in the park.
As the two danced together they were happy that this redo date went perfectly as planned.
Sure Sunset wasn’t expecting Twilight to ask about her family at dinner Sunset gladly accepted it.
As they were halfway through the song that was playing they stopped their dancing and looked into each other's eyes and smiled before going into a kiss.
“I love you Sunset. You're the one person who makes me feel so happy.”
“I love you too Twilight. You will always be the light in my darkness.”
After they finished their stargazing they made their way back home. Twilight was looking forward to what her future was gonna be like with Sunset by her side and Sunset couldn’t wait to see what new adventures they’d go on as well.
And how they are the happiest they’ve ever been in a very long time and will for the coming future ahead.
