Chapter 4: PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Midnight Blaze’s POV

“S-sunset…” I stuttered, still getting over the shock. “W=what are you doing?”
“Let’s just say I know how it feels to have horrifying nightmares…” Sunset said, voice full of regrets. “Come on, you had any breakfast yet?” My stomach rumbled. “I’ll take that as a no.”
Sunset let me into her home. It was a small 2-storey house with kitchen and living room downstairs and 2 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. “It’s small, but its home… come on, what do ya want; toast, cereal, pancakes-”
“Did you say pancakes!?! I asked, trying not to drool at the mention of my favourite breakfast.
“Yep, I’ll get cooking. You can just watch some TV,” Sunset said.
“Yeah, OK,” I said. I tried to watch adventure time but every time I tried to focus on the show I’d just look back at Sunset. ‘She’s just so beautiful…’ He eyes glistened in the sun, full of joy as she smiled that cute smile of hers. I have no idea how she could ever have been evil…

Sunset Shimmer’s POV

I brought over the pancakes and saw Midnight just sitting there, staring into space
“Hey, Midnight.”
“Huh, what!?!” He shook his head and saw me standing in front of me.
“You OK? You kinda zoned out there,” I said, worried.
“Oh yeah, sorry just thinking. What’s up?” he said, grinning.
I wanted to ask more, but he seemed to want to change the subject, so I didn’t pester him about it. “Well, OK…the pancakes are done.”
His eyes light up when I mention pancakes. He runs over and helps himself to some. Thanks Sunset!” he says before digging in. ‘Man he’s adorable…’

Midnight Blaze’s POV

I watch us Sunset leaves the room.

‘OK, man, you gotta tell her!’
‘But what if she rejects me? What if it ruins our friendship?’
‘She won’t! You gotta believe yourself?’
‘What if she doesn’t?”
‘Even if it doesn’t work out, it won’t ruin your friendship! Sure it might be awkward for a while but it’ll be OK!’

“Hey, you OK?”
“Huh!?!” I snap out of my internal argument.
“Are you OK Midnight?” Sunset asks, standing in front of me. “You’ve been acting kinda weird today…well, weirder.” We both giggled at that

‘Now’s your chance!’

“Hey, uh, Sunset, I need to ask ya something…” I started
“What is it?”
“DO you wanna, maybe, um, I dunno, maybe, go, uh, um-“
“Midnight,” Sunset cut me off.
“Uh…yeah?” I ask nervously
“DO you wanna go on a date with me?”
I was stunned, at least on the outside. On the inside I was having a massive party complete with fireworks going off in my brain.

‘Told ya’
‘Yeah, yeah…’

Sunset giggled at my reaction. “I’m guessing that’s a yes.”
