It was a few days before my injuries sustained at Snips and Snails’ hands healed, but after which, I felt like I was back to operating at full capacity again. Jackie came over to my place everyday to check up on me, and make out with me in my room while I was healing. Like seriously, making out with her is like being on Cloud 9. It’s that good.
That crazy stunt I pulled on the night of the Fall Formal sent my social status soaring to levels that I couldn’t believe myself. With just a single action, I had gone from outcast to basically the school’s Golden Boy, which as you might expect since I am a nerd, did come with some downsides. Honestly, I just wanted to be alone or with Jackie, her friends, or Flash. I seriously was not really wanting to hang out with other students that I didn’t know that literally took every outside of class opportunity to ask me to hang out with them. It was nuts.
Jackie and I, we became the golden couple of Canterlot High, which again, came with downsides. But still, for a guy like me to win over a girl like Jackie with a rather insane stunt in an attempt to save everyone from a bully turned demonic monster, everyone could tell that there was something serious between us, at least in their eyes.
Eventually, though, I had to endure the old awkward “meet the boyfriend/girlfriend’s family” ritual when Jackie’s grandmother invited my family over to her farmstead for dinner. Long story short, it was a truly awkward experience. Jogging out from the house following Jackie’s instructions before she had slipped outside earlier after finishing dinner while I was still chomping down corn, I crossed a field and came to a rather odd looking shack in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees on all sides practically concealing the shack. There, inside, on a floor covered with towels all knitted together, sat Jackie, giving me a teasing look.
“I’m guessing this is our quiet spot, then?” I asked her.
She nodded seductively. I grinned, then sat down next to her, and hugged and kissed her. As we made out in the darkness of the night, with only a lantern nearby to light the place, I thought back to how I used to say to people that I didn’t have a dream girl that I would dream about at night.
Now, though, I think it’s safe to say that I found my dream girl.
