How to ship humans

"Psst, why are we whispering", a very pink pony said to a pony wearing an exquisite velvet scarf, black cashmere cardigan and round stylish sunglasses.

"We don't want to get caught spying on this lovely future human couple, my dear. Did you already forget it? Wait... Pinkie!? How did you get here all of a sudden?" Rarity puffed her cheeks.

"It looked fun so I though I'd join you and try doing whatever you were doing!"

"Shh. Not so loud. They'll hear us. I know that you can't be like Fluttershy but try your best to stay silent. We don't want to have our cover blown right away."

"I had a lot of experience...", the yellow pegasus whispered almost inaudibly, then quickly covered her face with her bangs and sunk deeper into her chair when a waiter walked by her.

"Okie Dokie Loki. I'm good at spy games." Pinkie took out a black eyepatch and put it on her left eye. "I’m a shadow, that no light will shine on. Let's get cracking on this love business," she said in a deep voice.

Rarity just rolled her eyes at the antics of her friend and got back to watching the oblivious pair at the other end of the restaurant.

"Oh, it seems that Marek grew up in a village. I know that Klara likes to enjoy her time in nature so that'd mean that they have even more in common," Rarity mused aloud. "What! He once tripped and fell into a ditch with dirty water! That's awful. His clothes must have been ruined!"

Pinkie and Fluttershy looked at Rarity and shook their heads at her priorities.

"He used to have three cats. I wonder if he'd be interested in adopting Panty the panther...," the pegasus interjected .

"I'm sure that he will gladly discuss that with you later but keep in mind that he might prefer a less scary pet. We don't want ponies to start avoiding his house...," whispered the unicorn.

"Did they ever mention parties, favourite cakes, games, ... Mhmm?!"

Rarity covered Pinkies mouth with her hoof because she was getting too loud but quickly withdrawn it with disgust. Then she meticiulously wiped it from saliva with a handkerchief.

"We should stick to listening. Otherwise we might miss some important information."

The observing ponies saw Marek getting quite upset after Klara mentioned the topic of family. She tried to comfort him with warm words, but his face has shown a mix of conflicting emotions. Eventually she took his hand in hers, which caused him to freeze and blush.

"Oh, it got to the good part," Rarity said dreamily.

The other two only sighed with resignation.

"Hey, what are they talking about. It sounds like gibberish!", Pinkie exclaimed in a lowered voice.

"It seems they finally noticed that we're been eavesdropping and they started talking in a foreign language that we don't know. It's a pity. I really wanted to witness more of this budding romance."

"You'll get your chance again, Rarity. Now that the cat's out of the bag (no offence Mr Cat!), we should let these two lovebirds enjoy each other's company in peace. Oh, and I should really start preparing their 'Congratulations on Your First Date' party!"

Fluttershy and Rarity only smiled. Then the tree of them said goodbye to their human friends and swiftly left the restaurant.
