	Creo had arrived back into town, and was now thinking of what he should do next, since he had already done everything in town the day before. "Hmm, there must be something that I could do. But what?" He looked around, trying to find anything of enough interest for him to do. "I just want to do something so I don't have to leave town yet, since this is the best place in Equestria that I've been to," Creo sighed. "Well, I guess I'll just have to keep walking until I find—"
"Oh, yoo-hoo!" Creo abruptly turned his head, and saw that Rarity was calling for him. He now looked quite glad for having found one of his friends, and hurriedly went over to Rarity.
"Hey there, Rarity! It's great to see you again!"
"Good day, Creo," Rarity replied, sounding very pleased. "It's quite wonderful to see you again as well. In fact, I was hoping to run into you today."
"Really? How come?"
Rarity blushed a little. "Well, I—"
"Wow!" Creo suddenly interjected, having just noticed Rarity's gift. "Who's that large gift for?" he asked with eagerness.
"What?" Rarity's train of thought got bungled for a second. "..oh! Well," she giggled. "Let's just say it's for a very special somepony I've met recently."
"Really? Who?"
"Well, he's a sweet, generous, and quite handsome pony," She says as she slowly steps towards Creo. "The kind of pony anypony would want as their special somepony," Rarity began gazing into Creo's eyes, with him feeling puzzled as to what she was doing. Then, after a few moments, a thought struck his mind.
"Wait..are you talking about..me?"
Rarity giggled and blushed some more. "Well, you are the sweetest and most generous pony here, so I believe that would make you a truly special somepony, would it not?"
Creo was absolutely stunned. He never in his life thought he would get a present from out of the blue like this, and he especially never thought Rarity felt this way about him. Even though he was surprised, Creo also felt very touched by Rarity's generosity. He knew he had to let her know how truly generous he thought she was. "Well, I'm not sure if I agree with all of that."
Rarity's face suddenly became full of shock. "What??"
"It's just that I can't agree all that—since it's quite obvious that the kindest pony here is you for having made me a gift! I haven't done anything quite so munificent for you as you have for me. I know I've been quite nice to you, but you're far more generous than I ever could be. There's no doubt in my mind about that."
Rarity was blushing hard as her face became frozen from being stunned. It seemed that no matter how kind she thought Creo was, he always did something even more kind later—not that she minded at all. Rarity was already vastly lovestruck from every kind act or flattering remark Creo had done so far, and with each new kind thing Creo said or did, Rarity felt even more in love with him than ever before. With these many thoughts of love in her head, she began gazing at Creo in a love-filled daze, completely unaware of everything around her.
Creo was feeling a bit weirded out by Rarity staring at him they way she was. After a few moment of awkward silence, Creo decided to break this silence.
"Excuse me, Rarity?"
"Mmm?" she said in a trance-like state.
"Do you mind if I open my present now? Because I'm really eager to find out what it is."
"Sure, okay..."
"Thanks..Rarity," Creo then walked over to his present and used his magic to start opening it.
Right after creo had moved, Rarity snapped out of her trance. She felt puzzled, not knowing what just happened. She then looked over and saw Creo, looking happy to open his present. Rarity now felt happy herself, knowing that Creo was so fervent to see what her gift was. Because of this, Rarity was now much too eager to wait for things to play out the way she had fantasized. "Creo?" she asked in a partly calm, partly eager manner.
Creo stopped right when he was about to take the lid off the present. "Yes, Rarity?"
"I was just wondering...if you'd like to join me for a nice dinner later?"
"Oh, sure, that sounds nice."
"Really??" Rarity said, suddenly becoming ecstatic.
"Certainly! Who else will be coming?"
Rarity now became bewildered. "Who else...? Well, actually, I wanted it to just be you and me."
Creo was astonished to hear that. "You mean, just the two of us?"
"Of course! I think it would be a fairly nice way for us to get to know each other more, considering we haven't interacted since our day at the spa."
Creo paused and thought for a few moments. "Yeah, you're right about that. We haven't had much time to interact because of my touring Ponyville and all."
"So will you go?" she asked, eager for a response.
Creo thought again. "Well, it does sound like a good way for us to spend more time together, but I'm not sure if something will come up before then."
"Oh, please??" Rarity begged. "I promise, we'll have a marvelous time! We'll go to an elegant restaurant, and you can wear your new suit!"
"New suit?" Creo responded in befuddlement.
Rarity quickly covered her mouth, feeling quite foolish for giving away what her gift was.
Creo then realized what Rarity was talking about. He lifted the lid off the box and peered inside. He was awestruck to see the suit, and he used his magic to lift the suit out from the box so he could examine it more closely. He was wholly amazed by how great the suit looked, gazing at it in admiration. "Wow!! This..looks just incredible, Rarity!"
Rarity wasn't looking so excited to hear that. "Oh..thank you, Creo; although it would have been better if I hadn't ruined the surprise..."
"Oh, don't worry, Rarity," he explained as he put his hoof on her shoulder. "I was still surprised that you made this for me, and I still think it looks absolutely fantastic!"
"Really..?"
"Really," he smiled.
Rarity was now feeling better, and was finally truly happy that Creo loved her gift. She knew there was only one more thing needed to make this moment perfect. "Well then...what do you say about that dinner?"
Creo still didn't feel sure about an answer, but when he saw Rarity's eager disposition, he knew he couldn't say no. So, Creo opened his mouth to give Rarity his answer.
