After some talking, Doug and I walked outside. We had started on the road to friendship. I had been outside of society for long enough to have gotten lost.
"Hey, me and some of my friends are going out for drinks at the club across town tonight, want to come along?" He asked.
I looked up to the studio window and saw the outlines of Dash and Scoots looking down at me through a curtain.
"I guess. I really haven't been out since I turned eighteen." I said, slightly embarrassed at that fact.
"Tanner, you crack me up." He said between laughs. "Meet us at "The poLes" tonight at ten." He said as he turned around, and walked to his car. "Eighteen he says!" He said as he laughed.
I jogged into my home. I waited for his car to pull away, and saw a Dash Bumper sticker. Dash had been watching and chuckled.
"I guess I AM that awesome." She said, as Scoots entered.
"I'm hungry." the ponies said in unison.
I sighed as I pulled out my wallet. I had enough cash to get something.
"What about that Pizza Splice place you two have been nagging me about?" I asked.
They nodded. I started out the door before they tackled me.
"Thanks, Dad." Scoots said, squeezing the life out of me.
Dash just sat on the floor, having helped Scoots tackle me, she had completed her task.
"Thanks." She grunted, holding back a grin.
I pedaled my bike as fast as I could, down to the pizza parlor, the cart behind threatening to come off. I reached the place just fine. I ordered two vegetarian pizzas, and put them in the cart. I then ran to the gas station and got some soda, and then pedaled home. As I got home, Scoots and Dash were waiting, they immediately grabbed their food and went back to the kitchen. It was seven. I got dressed, and then hopped on my bike for the second time.
It was 9:52 when i arrived, I had put my bike on a lock about two blocks away. Doug was already in line.
