They say prom nights can be magical. Dancing with my lovely girlfriend Applejack that night though, leads me to call bull on that. It wasn’t magical. It was possibly goddamn fairytale awesome. Nothing can even possibly compare to actually dancing your heart out with the girl you fell in love with, even if you did have to put someone in a headlock to give her and her friends the chance to stop a demonic bully. Was I proud of myself for doing that? Not as much as you expect me to, but would I do it again if I got sent back in time to that moment? Yes.
I mean, honestly, it seemed like it was a dream. That due to a single choice to put someone in a headlock and act like you were insane and were just asking to get yourself killed would get you to dance with the girl of your dreams not as a friend, but as a girlfriend. There were so many ways I could describe it as well, but deep down inside, it was like, and was, as if God answered my prayers.
Applejack was a good dancer for a country girl, and for me, an incredibly beautiful and sexy one at that. The way she moved her hips, moved that flawless body of hers around, I was entranced by it. It just made that barrier of ice I normally had around my heart due to my time at District 2 High melt away and encase it in a ring of fire that made me feel on top of the world. I mean, Clove can dance, don’t get me wrong, but right now, she ain’t got nothing on Jackie. That much was true.
There’s a lot of things that can be swirling around in people’s heads after a Fall Formal. Some people be like wanting to hang out with their friends, others are wondering what the future holds for them. Walking out with Jackie holding my hand, the only thing going through my head was how I’m going to have to explain to my parents that I nearly got myself killed saving the school, had my best formal outfit trashed for good by two no good kids who also messed my face up as well so I have to buy a new one, and that now, due to my actions, the girl I saved from being bullied fell in love with me. And as for my face, it still hurt a bit, but nothing really too serious, easily treatable. That still implied taking it easy and avoiding contact sports though, which knowing me and that I wasn’t doing any contact sports at the time, wasn’t a big deal. Either way, it felt nice to learn on the TV that Snips and Snails had been arrested for assaulting me. That’s two guys I really didn’t want to see around Canterlot High again off the streets. As for Sunset, she really took a hard fall, so hard that she changed herself completely, becoming Applejack’s friend and all.
At this point in time, I was still a little wary of Sunset, because well.. the obvious. But, for now, I had succeeded in bringing peace to Canterlot High for the time being.
