//------------------------------// // Chapter 1:The week after // Story: Crystal Clear // by Emerald Gem //------------------------------// It had been a week after Claire found out Prisms feelings for her in "Nidra's Dating Game". Ever since then, Claire and Prism have been visiting each other more often. Claire told her parents, Rarity and Spike, about what had happened between the two. Prism did the same. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Ohhh my goodness! Ohhh my goodness! My little girl finally has a colt friend!" Rarity cooed after Claire had told her the story of how she and Prism became mare and colt friends. "Aww, mom, stop." Claire said, blushing. "My little girl is growing up..." Spike said, hugging his daughter. "Congrats, sis." Turquiose Blitz, Claire's brother said. "Never thought you would get hooked up with Priz...." "Me neither...." Claire said. "DING DONG!!!" "I'll get it!" Claire said, rushing to the door. As she opened the door, she saw Prism standing there with a bouquet of roses,(Claire's favorite) in his hoof. "Surprise!" Prism said, handing Claire the flowers. "Aww, prizy, my favorite. How thoughtful of you." Claire said, taking the flowers and giving Prizm a big kiss on the lips. After they parted, Claire invited Prizm inside thier home. "Hello Mrs.Rarity! Hello Mr.Spike!" Prism said as he walked in. "Hello,Prism! Nice to see you again." Rarity said. "Hey Priz. What's up?" T said, hoof bumping him. "Not much. Just hanging with mom and dad." "Well, now you have me to hang with." Claire said, leaning on him. After about an hour of talking about what's happened recently, Rarity finally asked, " Well, enough chit-chat. Prism, are you hungry?" "Well, a little.... but I don't expect you to cook anything.." Prism said. "Oh, its not a problem at all." Rarity said, heading into the kitchen. "Oh, Prizy, don't be so modest." Claire said. "But, Claire, why in equestria would I put your mother to work?" " Oh, your not putting her to work. She is just simply offering you." "Whatever you say, Claire." Prism said as he rolled his eyes. She always had to have a comeback. "So, Priz..... have you and Candy been pulling any pranks lately?" T, who he and Spike were still siting there, asked. " Candy? Me and her haven't talked since me and Claire started dating." Prism answered. " You haven't? I was just talking to her the other day and she said she had some really good pranks to pull off." T said. "Oh! In that case, I'll go talk to her when were done eating." Prism said. "Sooo, you didn't tell her about us?" Claire asked. "Well, no, not yet." Prism said. He took a big sniff of the good smells and aromas of food coming from the kitchen. Spike did the same." Rarity must be making.... Turkey." Spike said. "TURKEY???!!!" T, Prism, and Claire said in unison. "How could she make turkey that fast?" Prism questioned. "That's just Rarity." Spike said, heading into the kitchen. Just as Spike headed in, Rarity shouted, "LUNCH IS SURVED!!!" <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> As Claire and Prism sat down, Rarity said, "Oh no no no no, I have a special place for you two.". She then started pushing them into another room. As they got into the room, Claire's jaw dropped. There was a table with a velvet cloth over it and two candles on the top. On each side of the candles, there was a plate, spoon, fork, and knife. " Mrs- Mrs- Mrs.Rarity! You didn't have to do this..." Prism said, blushing. "Mom..... this is..... incredible..." Claire said, hugging her. "Oh, this? This is nothing." Rarity said modestly. "Now, sit down. Its time to eat." As Claire and Prism sat down, Rarity trotted into the kitchen to get the food. As Rarity came back in, she set the food on the table and said, "Bon Apetite" When Rarity left the room, Claire said, "Well, that was kind of akward" "I guess so.." Prism said, grabbing his knife and cutting the turkey. They were silent while Prism cut the turkey. When both ponies were served, Prism said, "Well, there has been something i've been wanting to ask you for a few days now..." "What is it?" Claire asked, putting down her fork and looking up at Prism. "Umm... would you...... like to, umm..... go on a date with me... tomorrow night... or something?" Prism asked, blushing a scarlet red. "Prizy... I..." "You know what, just forget it..." Prism said, turning his head away. "I didn't say no, Prizy" Claire said. "No, its not that... its just... I don't know how to charm a girl, a special girl like you.." "Oh, Priz, you don't need to do anything special for me. Anything would be fine." Claire said, getting up from her seat and trotting over to Prism to give him a big hug. "Thank, Claire." Prism said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Now, lets eat."
