It was a beautiful day in ponyville. Perfect for a date. Prism happily got lout of bed, for it was the day of his and Claire's date. As he headed into the bathroom, he said to himself, "Ok, Prism. Todays the day you give Claire the best day of her life." As he grabbed his toothbrush, spread some tooth paste on it, and started brushing, his dad, Sorin, came into the room.
"Morning, Prism."
"Morning dad." Prism said as he spit out the paste and grabbed his mouthwash excitedly.
"Wow, you seem excited. What's going on today?"
"Im....uh... taking Claire on a..... date."
"Wow! Great! Do you know haw to charm a girl?"
"I think so..."
"I think so' is not going to do"

Claire hummed to herself as she walked to the kitchen to get some watermelon to eat. She was already up and at em, even though she was never known to be an early bird. As she opened the fridge, she heard the door bell ring. She closed the fridge and happily trotted to the door. When she opened it, she found a giddy Prism standing there with a hoof piked rose in his mouth.
"Here.." Prism said, handing Claire the rose.
"Thanks, Prizy. What are you here for?"
"For our date, of course."
"You said that that was tonight." Claire said, clearly comfused.
"Oh, did i say that.." Prism said slyly.
"So, where are we going.." Claire said, giving in.
"Its a surprise." Prism said, taking Claire's hoof/Claw and walking her down the street.

As Prism and Claire walked down the street, they passed Del, who was carring a basket of apples on his back.
"Hey, Del! Need any help?"
"Nah... although... Candy was pretty ticked off the last time I spoke to her. She said something about Prism not being her friend, or something.
"Do you have anything to say, Prism?" Claire said sternly to Prism. " You did visit her yesterday."
"Yeah, oh I have something to say, alright." Prism said angrily. " I have to say that she is a big JERK!!!!"
"What? I thought you guys were friends.." Del said.
" Yeah, we were friends..." Prism answered. "until yesterday."
"What happened?" Claire asked.
"Well, after I left your house, I went to sugar cube corner. Then, I met Candy there with a whole lot of pranks to plan. But most of them were on you." Prism said, turning to Claire.
"Have you guys not learned from the last time you pranked me??!!" Claire said.
" That's the thing. I told Candy that me and you were dating, but then she got mad and started yelling at me..."
"Oh, I see the problem. Candy is jealous." Claire said calmly.
"Of who?" Del asked.
"Prism and me, of course."
"But why? I told Candy a long time ago that I had a crush on you. Why is she now mad?"
"Because, she obviously knew that you liked me but never told me.."
"And?" Prism said, wanting to get to the point.
" so she didn't expect you to tell me ever because she had a crush on you! So now that we're dating, her feelings are hurt."
"But if she did like me, why didn't she ever tell me? She is always straight forward."
"Maybe she was shy. You wouldn't expect a girl to come up to you and say, ' I have a crush on you' , would you?"
"Well... no..." Prism said. There was silence. Then, Prism finally said, " Lets get going, Claire. We cant let this stop us from having our date."
"Your on a date??!!" Del shouted.
"Yes. Prizy put it all together.." Claire said, hugging Prism.
" Yeah.." Prism said, blushing. "Well, it was nice seeing you here, Del. But we best be going." Prism said, he and Claire waving as they trotted down the street.
"Sooo, where are we going?" Claire asked, following Prism.
"I cant tell you. It would ruin the fun." Prism said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Prism and Claire finally stopped, Prism said, " Ok, close your eyes.."
"Ok..." Claire said, closing her eyes. Then, she and Prism walked a little ways further. Claire could here little noises becoming louder ones as she and Prism came to a halt.
"You can open them!" Prism said excitedly as Claire opened her eyes. She gasped at the sight she saw. They were standing on a hill above a festive carnival.
"I have heard of this Carnival and thought it would be a fun experience for both of us. Now, lets have some fun!!" Prism said, grabbing Claire's claw and racing down the hill to the ticket booth. When they got to the booth, a pony named Ticket Master greeted them.
"Heya folks! Welcome to the annual ponyville carnival! What can I get for ya?" He said, leaning on the edge of the booth toward Prism and Claire.
"Well, can we get two all- day passes please?" Prism said, handing him some bits. Ticket took the money and gave them the passes.
"Here you go, fella. Have a good time." Ticket said as Prism and Claire took the passes and started to walk into the crowd. As they walked in, Prism asked, "What do you want to do first?"
"Hmm.." Claire said as she was inspecting every game closely. Then, she saw a game that she loved ever since she was a foal.
"That one, please" Claire said, rushing over so there wouldn't be a line. As she headed over, she noticed Candy across the path on the other side of the game. She looked as happy as ever. As Prism came over, she whispered, "Psst. Prism? Are you sure that Candy was just cranky when you talked to her?, because she looks pretty happy to me.." Then, she pointed to a happy Candy.
"Pft! Claire, don't fall for that nonsense. She might look happy now, but if anyone were to try to talk to her, her words would hurt so much that it feels like she stabbed you in the back." Prism whispered back.
"Well, im going to go talk to-"
"Claire, Don't! She is going to mess up your mood and make you grumpy! I don't want that today!" Prism said.
"Prism, please. Im half dragon. My feeling don't get hurt that easily." Claire said, walking over to Candy. As soon as Candy noticed Claire, her extra puffy mane went straight.
"Hey, Cand-"
"What do you want?" Candy said huffily.
"Well I came to talk to you abou-"
"About Prism? Oh, heck no. Here we go again"
"How did you kn-"
" You and him are dating. Yeah, ive heard it all around from ou- Er- My so called 'Friends'. Claire and Prism this. Claire and Prism that. Claire and Prism, Claire and Prism, CLAIRE AND PRIM!!! THATS ALL I HEAR ANYMORE!! WELL, CLAIRE AND PRISM, NEWS FLASH! NOBODY CARES!!!!!"
Everybody turned and listened to their conversation.
"Candy, are you je-"
"CLAIRE, JUST SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!!!! I WISH YOU NEVER EXSISTED!! IF YOU WERENT BORN, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!" Then, Candy galloped of in rage.
"FINE!!, CANDY!! BE LIKE THAT!!!" Claire yelled, crying as she ran off. Everyone was silent but Prism who shouted, "Claire! Claire, come back!" then, he trotted after her.
