Chapter 6 – Something special

The night sky has come over Ponyville’s streets that now only are lit by the few dim flickering streetlamps. However, the calm air and warming spring feel has made the trot to the library relaxing for the two young ponies that happily trot next to each other.

Despite the fact that the two ponies have been technically dating for a little over two months their dates are not really anything that they would not have done if they weren't dating... Strangely though, the walks home or the walks back to Violet's dorm in Canterlot have always brought a strange warm, fuzzy and still new feeling.

As the library starts to get a little closer Sparky and Violet's trots both start to slow, there was no shift in their heads or murmur to change the speed but they do it anyways.

Sparky slowly drifts his eyes to the mare beside him as the door starts to come into hooves reach, "Hey Violet..."

The name slightly shifts the mare's head as the two ponies stop their trot.

"I know your birthday is coming up..." The stallion holds his smile as he shifts a little, "And I thought we could actually do something worthy of calling a date. Instead of trying to cram for a test or hang our with our friends."

Violet gives a little smile as she continues to stare to the stallion.

Sparky slowly starts to fiddle with the small bag around him as he continues to speak up, "I-I'm not really the best at dating y-you know seeings as how I never dated anypony."

The little comment brings a slightly embarrassed comment to the mare as she sparks her hooves up with almost the same kind of reply.

A faint laugh comes to Sparky as he nods, "Well... I am glad to be back in Ponyville, at least this way I can get my weather control job back." The slightly nervous attempt at getting the little pouch around his body finally ends as the light orange pegasus opens it.

It only takes a moment for the stallion to bring out a silver chained necklace with a bright amethyst stone set in the middle of it.

Violet just blinks a little surprised to the gift as Sparky rings out a comment, "Don't worry this necklace is not like that one you had."

A faint blue glow comes to the necklace as it's moved from the stallion's hold, but the young mare doesn't even examine as she just leans her head in with a little kiss to the stallion.

The kiss ends fast as the two young ponies break away with a lighthearted laugh to the still very new good night gesture. However they don't hold their eyes away from the pony in front of them as Sparky speaks up again, "G-good night Violet."

With a little nod the light purple mare takes a step towards the door as she floats the necklace a little closer to her.

Sparky sprawls his wings out as he takes himself from the ground, with one last little look to each other Violet opens the library's door as she trots inside.

The sound of the door opening turns you and Twilight's heads as you both just look over the slightly blushed mare.

Twilight is the first to speak up as she trots closer towards Violet, "How did it go?"

You on the other hoof just turn your eyes to the clock as you read the time to yourself, ten O three... You squint your eyes to it as a thought comes to your mind, however before you bring your voice up Twilight's rings out. "Ooh, did Sparky give you this?"

Your eyes drift back to the necklace that Violet casually floats towards the lavender mare in front of her as she just gives a simple nod to the comment.

You look over the necklace as you push off the fact she was late, nice safe Sparky...

With a slight sigh you trot over towards the two mares as you bring your voice out, "Just wondering...Did Sparky's eyes flicker green at any point tonight?"

Violet just rolls her eyes as she shakes her head.

"Good."

As your voice ends Twilight's comes up, "So what was it like huh? Did you have a good time?"

Violet just gives another simple nod to the comment, however that doesn't quell the curious lavender mare, "Was it fun?"

Fearing that she'll have to go through everything the young mare gives a silent yawn as she starts to trot towards the stairs.

The tired action slightly alters Twilight's smile as she speaks up, "Tired?"

Violet halts her trot as she gives a little smile and nod.

Twilight nods as she speaks up, "I understand, um but I was wondering if you wanted to read over any dating books that I have kept. I know dating can  make you feel a little nervous, maybe you'll like them."

The comment blinks the young mare as she just gives a little shake of the head.

"Oh...Okay." As Twilight's voice comes down Violet turns back up the stairs as she continues up them, but she's again halted as Twilight's new comment comes to the room, "Oh we got a letter from Cadence and Shining earlier, they asked if we could come up to the Crystal Empire next week-.."

The comment flicks the young mare's ear as she turns her head back to her mother with a quick spark of the hooves.

"When?" Twilight gives a little smile as she shakes her head, "Well we assumed it would be on your birthday. We haven't spent a lot of time with them so we figured it would be a nice change of scenery for your birthday."

Violet halts her comment as she just stares to her smiling mother, but she eventually nods as she turns back up the stairs. Before you can really pick up on the slight change in Violet's face Twilight's voice has come up the lavender mare trots a little over to you with a whisper, "I-I can't believe Violet composed herself so well."

The mare's usual confident and in charge voice is absent as you turn your head to her for the last little bit of her comment, "...It kinda of reminds me of our first date."

Oh god, we've gotten to the point in our lives where we just talk about things we did. A faint chuckle comes to you as you shake your head and think over her comment for a response. However for some reason the only thought you can bring to your mind is Twilight being drunk. With the thought in mind you bring your voice up, "Ya...And I'm glad we locked her window."

Twilight gives a little giggle as she starts to trot towards the stairs, "She'll break the spell."

The comment flicks your ear as you look over the mare in front of you, how can she be taking Violet growing up so fast this well?! You blink your eyes to the mare as you start up behind her, "What do you mean she'll break the spell?"

A faint giggle comes to Twilight as she turns her head back to you, "You know you're doing a lot better than Night Light did when he meet you."

You blow to the comment as you pause a little on the stairs, "That's because i'm scarier than your dad without saying words." You hold the slight bad ass feel you have to yourself as you and Twilight's trot up the stairs comes to it's end.

Twilight rolls her eyes to the comment as she turns her attention back to the flickering lights down stairs, with a faint glow of her horn the lights down stairs turn off as you and Twilight continue your trot to your room.
