“Well, here we are,” Apple Bloom said as the two finally reached the Rich household. “And thanks again, Silver Spoon, couldn’t have done it without ya!” Apple Bloom said, earning a nod from Silver Spoon.
“No problem, anything for my best friend!” Silver Spoon said as she hugged Diamond Tiara gently. “Be more careful next time, Sweetie could have really hurt you,” Silver whispered, causing Diamond Tiara to groan.
“Ugh, yes mom,” Diamond Tiara grumbled as she hugged her friend back. “But seriously, thanks, Silver Spoon,” Diamond Tiara said as she let go of her friend.
“Well, see you at school monday!” Silver Spoon said as she walked to her own house, wishing to leave the two of them alone.
Silence quickly enveloped Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara as they both looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Scratching the back of her neck, Apple Bloom simply smiled at Diamond Tiara, and waved her hoof.
“W-well, ah guess ah’d better git going,” Apple Bloom mumbled, as she turned and began walking home.
“W--wait, Apple Bloom!” Diamond Tiara called out. “D--don’t you want any kind of…reward?” Diamond Tiara asked, looking away with a blush.
“Reward?” Apple Bloom asked as she tilted her head in confusion. “What d’ya mean?” Apple Bloom asked as she continued to stare at a blushing Diamond Tiara.
“W--well, come here and I’ll show you,” Diamond Tiara said as she motioned for Apple Bloom to come closer.
“Well sure, ah guess,” Apple Bloom chuckled nervously as she walked up to Diamond Tiara. “So, uh, how are ya gonna reward me?”
“Hmm, I have an idea,” Diamond Tiara mumbled as she wrapped her hooves around Apple Bloom’s shoulders, her face inching closer as Apple Bloom’s face turned red. “And I think you will like it,” Diamond Tiara whispered as she gently brushed her lips against Apple Bloom’s, before quickly backing away in embarrassment.
“W--wait!” Apple Bloom whined as she watched Diamond Tiara walk into her home.
“Sorry, Apple Bloom, but if you want more, you’ll have to pick me up tomorrow afternoon for a date!” Diamond Tiara said with a smirk before slamming her door shut, leaving Apple Bloom alone outside. After a few minutes of simply standing there, Apple Bloom sighed and began trotting home.
She is such a tease, Apple Bloom thought bitterly. It was going to feel like a long night.
