By the time Lightning woke up in the morning and was sitting at the table, his mother kept shooting him looks, waiting for him to tell her what happened last night.
Lightning looked up at his mother, then raised an eyebrow. "What are you staring at?" He asked, smiling softly.
His mother groaned. "I saw you dancing with a mare, tell me about her."
Lightning smiled, looking down at his food. "She's sweet... She's amazing, caring, and so many things I can't name off the top of my head. She was part of the strange group I told you about, I just didn't realize it till now, that I had feelings for her. There... Happy?" Lightning smiled more, giving his mother a sarcastic look.
His mother made a simple 'Daw...' noise, then smiled at him. "You going to visit her today? I think she'd like that." She asked.
Lightning smiled. "I was just about to ask, I guess I should leave after breakfast."
"Alright, you have fun, I got to get ready for work." She smiled, standing up from her chair.
"Where are you working?" He asked.
"Oh, I got a small job at Sugar Cube Corner, I'll be helping out Pinkie with the cupcakes." She smiled, heading to her room.
Lightning smiled, then frowned. "Oh crap." He got up from his chair, forgetting he had to work as well. He went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth quickly, washing himself off so he wasn't so dirty. He threw on his saddlebag and headed out the door, galloping to the barn.
"Alright Rarity, thanks for breakfast, I've got to get going to the clubhouse." Sweetie Belle smiled, but as she tried getting off the chair, she was stopped by Rarity.
"Wait a minute Sweetie Belle, I wanted to discuss something with you." She smirked, slowly putting stuff away with her magic. "Last night, at the party, I saw something that looked like my little sister, dancing with a stallion." Rarity began to tease her, seeing that Sweeties cheeks have become red.
She smiled, looking down. "I know... It was great... Thanks Rarity."
Rarity rubbed her back. "Just one more thing before you go." She looks into Sweeties eyes for a brief moment.
"What is it?" Sweetie asked.
"Colts sometimes have no control over what they do, due to urges, if he starts pushing things too far, something that you don't want. Give him a little slap on the wrist, but in this case, slap him in the face, that will bring him to his senses." Rarity warned.
Sweetie smiled. "I'll be sure to make note of that."
Rarity smiled, giving her a light nudge on the shoulder. "If you need any advice, your big sister is always here to help." She whispered, before trotting off to the other room. "You can leave now darling," She said, before exiting the room.
Sweetie thought for a second, before gathering some things and headed out, going straight towards the club house.
"You're late sugar cube." Applejack snorted, looking down at Lightning.
"I know, I'm sorry... it won't happen again, I promise." Lightning stood proud, only in the back of his mind did he want her to forgive him.
"This is your first time, so I'm going to let it slide, but next time, I won't be so easy, got it?" Applejack asked, Lightning nodded, his eye narrowed looking towards the ground. With that, Applejack turned and trotted off, getting back to work. Lightning didn't hesitate, getting to work himself so Applejack wouldn't give him a new one.
He began picking up the rotten apples and putting it in his basket while Applebloom picked up the fresh ones. "Try not to be late again..." Applebloom started. "My sister can be an angry pony, so I would try to stay on her good side."
"I'll try to." Lightning sighed, as he continued to work.
A few hours have passed as they made their way to the tree house, picking up the apples around there. As Lightning sighed, and whipped the sweat from his forehead from the Celestia's hot sun, he looked towards the clubhouse, hearing something near it.
"~Cause I need you... and I miss you... and now I wonder... if I could fall, into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?"
"Hey... Applebloom, do you hear that?" Lightning asked, hearing the sound a music playing.
Applebloom smiled. "Scootaloo must not be there, I can tell ya now, it's Sweetie Belle."
Lightning listened more.
"~....Cause you know I would walk a thousand miles if I could just see you.... tonight.~"
"I'm surprised she hasn't earned her cutie mark from that voice." Lightning smiled, staring at the clubhouse, listening to her singing.
Applebloom chuckled. "You might want to get back to work, Applejack doesn't like slackers." Applebloom warned once again.
Lightning nodded. "Just give me a second...." He breathed, loving the sounds coming from her singing.
After the work has been finished it was already dawn, the sun would soon fade. But Lightning wanted to make a visit, with his new fillyfriend.
Climbing up the steps, kept his heart beat steady, but soon would beat fast seeing her again. As he entered the clubhouse, the only sense of joy filled him, as Sweetie noticed him. "Lightning!" She squealed, jumping up off the bed she was sitting on and tackled him into a hug. "You came to visit me! How sweet." She said, ecstatic.
Lightning chuckled, rubbing her head. "Of course, nothing will keep me away to hearing your sweet voice." He whispered.
Sweetie blushed, pulling away, then blushed even more, noticing how close she was to him, their eyes gazed at each other. Lightning stared with anticipation, while Sweetie looked back with thoughts either to get off him, or kiss him, it caused her bottom lip to quiver. "My sweet voice huh?" She mumbled under her breath.
Lightning smiled at her, putting his hooves on her sides. "It's so sincere, it makes me want to cry." He teased, snickering.
Sweetie looked at what she was doing, only to want it more, but she couldn't, they just met, but she didn't want to back away, in spite of hurting his feelings. So, she did what she had to and pressed her lips against his, the loving sensation coursed through the two as they shared a bond of love.
But it ended, Sweetie pulled away from his lips and smiled down at him. "It's getting late... School is tomorrow, you should probably get home if you don't want your mother to worry." She whispered, she nuzzled him as she got off of him. "I got to get home too."
"I'll walk you home." Lightning smiled, standing up.
Sweetie smiled. "I'd like that, let's hope your mother doesn't get angry at me." She put on her saddlebag and went up to kiss Lightning again.
"She won't, she's finally happy I'm growing up." He smiled.
"Well, shall we start walking?" Sweetie asked.
Lightning nodded, nuzzling her cheek before kissing it. "Let's go." He whispered, putting one of his wings around her and they both exited the clubhouse.
A few minutes of walking, Sweetie began to drift slightly, Lightning carried her up. "Would you like me to carry you?" He asked.
As Sweetie began to say something, she drifted more, causing Lightning to chuckle. "I guess you must of been singing too much." Lightning lifted her up with his wing onto his back and continued to walk.
Sweetie blushed slightly. "Y-You heard me sing...?" She asked, slightly dizzy.
Lightning grinned. "You're pretty good at it..." He complimented, seeing the Carousal Boutique.
Sweetie smiled softly, as Lightning walked up to the door, knocking on the door. Rarity had opened the door, then sighed as if from relief. "Had me worried for a moment, please, take her to her room, I'm a little busy at the moment." Rarity opened the door more and went back to making one of her dresses for her clients.
Lightning entered and headed upstairs, he had no idea where Sweetie's room was, until she pointed to the door. "There..." She mumbled.
Lightning went inside the room and laid her down on her bed, putting the covers over her. He kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Sweetie..." He whispered.
As he turned to leave, something grabbed his hoof. "Wait..." She mumbled. "Lay with me for a few minutes." She whispered.
Lightning smiled, climbing onto the bed, wrapping his hooves around her. But Sweetie turned, so their chests were close together, her tired eyes looking up at him, her smile plants on her face as she kisses him softly with her eyes closed, they kept their lips together as Sweetie fell asleep in his arms.
Lightning opened his eyes, only to slowly pull away and to smile, he sighed, kissing her forehead. "Goodnight My Sweetie..." He whispered, before getting off her. After one more quick glance, he set onwards to home.
Lightning laid down on his bed, closing his eyes, hearing Sweetie's singing remained lodged in the memory he would cherish forever.
Tomorrow, school would start, a day of Danger's Reckoning.
