//------------------------------// // Would you like to go on a date // Story: Blank Silver // by Moniker //------------------------------// Blank Silver by Dancing With Discord Would you like to go on a date ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rumble sat at his desk happily looking at Silver Spoon. He sighed as he glanced at the clock for a mere moment. He heard Silver Spoon mutter to herself. "Almost time for lunch," Silver muttered to herself. Rumble sighed and cleared his throat. He looked at Ms. Cherilee who was going on about math. Minutes passed and the bell rang signaling lunch. Rumble got up and walked to Silver Spoon who was alone for a reason unknown. Rumble sat next to her. "Why are you alone?" Rumble asked. Silver Spoon sighed. "Diamond Tiara is sick," Silver Spoon explained. Silver Spoon looked at his flank. "Huh, you're a blank flank, remember last time," Silver Spoon asked pushing her glasses closer to her eyes. Rumble nodded slowly. Silver Spoon got up and said these words. "I don't sit with blank flanks," That broke Rumble's heart. That was the fourth time that Silver Spoon pushed him away because of his flank. Rumble sat upright alone on a log. He sighed "Maybe being alone is my talent," he said sadly. His sisters flew up above his head. "Huh?" he squinted his eyes, trying to read the words that one his sisters made. "Hi Rumble," he made out. One of his two sisters went to the ground and hugged him quickly. Rumble smiled "Hey sis," Rumble said. Flutter smiled. "Hey Rumble how's school going?" Flutter asked her smile growing bigger. "It's school, it's going fine," Rumble shrugged. Flutter gave him another hug as the bell rang. "Alright every-pony lunch is over," the teacher called. "Well you better get to class see you at home," Flutter said. Rumble waved. "Bye," Rumble ran to class. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rumble felt his eye lids get heavy, he tried to keep them open but it got harder and harder as the minutes passed on. Finally he was asleep. As Ms. Cherilee was speaking about math. Rumble was in his own world. "I'm glad we could spend time together Rumble," Silver Spoon smiled. Rumble nodded. "Yeah, I am too, I'm glad your having fun," Rumble said looking at an unreal sunset. Silver Spoon and Rumble went in for a kiss. "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble, Rumble!" Ms. Cherilee yelled. Only response was either "Yes Silver Spoon?" or "Yes my love?" Cherilee sighed and nudged him slightly. Finally Rumble woke up. "Huh?" he looked around only seeing Silver Spoon sitting on her desk chair, and Ms. Cherilee standing over him no amused. Cherilee sighed. "You know I need to call you parents right?" Ms. Cherilee asked knowing his response to be some sort of lie like last time and time before that. First time was "I was fighting ninja ponies," the second was even more unbelievable. "I was taming a Chimera and it though I was it's child and I needed to get out of it's pen," It was the final straw she needs to call his parents. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rumble sat cross legged on a chair in the classroom. Ms. Cherilee put the phone down. "Alright your guardian should be here as soon as he could. Ms. Cherilee waited for a couple of hours when suddenly a stallion walked into the classroom. "Hi I'm ThunderLane I am Rumble's guardian," he said. "Hello mister ThunderLane, so I thought you should be aware that your son is falling asleep in class," Ms. Cherilee said seriously. ThunderLane chuckled "Huh so you are my brother," he laughed, he was cut off by Ms. Cherilee tapping her desk. He cleared his throat. "You should be ashamed Rumble," ThunderLane said trying to maintain a serous voice. Ms. Cherilee looked at Rumble. "Now what were you dreaming?" Cherilee asked. Rumble blushed. "I...I'd rather not say," Rumble said shyly. Ms. Cherilee looked at him more sternly and repeated the question. "Don't lie to me," Ms. Cherilee said. Rumble's blush grew brighter. ThunderLane chuckled. "I see," ThunderLane gave his brother a noggie. Ms. Cherilee repeated the question. Which made Rumble blush even more. "I...I dreamt I was with Silver Spoon," A long silence filled the air. ThunderLane again grinned with a light chuckle. "Just like me," he laughed "Well he gets one more warning if he does this again he'll be held back," Cherilee admitted ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rumble walked off alone he was told to stay in detention for a while. He sighed as he passed his house, he wanted to confront his embarrassing secret, he wanted to ask Silver Spoon on a date. He knocked on Silver Spoon's door. A gray mare answered the door. "What do you want blank flank?" Silver Spoon asked walking onto the porch. Rumble gulped and tried to speak. "H...H...Hi Sil...Silver Sp...Spoon, h...h...how would you l...like to g...go on a date?" Rumble struggled to say. Silver Spoon tapped her chin, and thought for a moment. "Sure why not," Silver Spoon answered. Rumble coughed a bit. "R...Really?" he wanted to make sure he heard her right. Silver Spoon nodded. "Yes I said yes, let's say around five," Silver Spoon said. Rumble nodded. "Five it is then," Rumble nodded. Silver Spoon sighed. "Alright see you at five," Silver Spoon said. "Goodbye," Rumble said closing the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rumble opened the door to their house slowly. "Hey Rumble what took you so long?" Flutter asked. "Well I went to a friend's house for a minute," Rumble explained. Rumble spent the rest of the night planning the date he has with Silver Spoon.
