//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 Are You Two? // Story: A Visitor From Manehattan // by ILIKEBOOKS //------------------------------// "Alright girls let's get our hiding places ready," Rainbow Dash said before she placed one cloud over the picnic so she could hide. Twilight and Pinkie sat next to each other so they would have full view of the picnic. Rarity finished setting up the picnic. "Oh I can't wait to them kiss!" She giggled. "We don't know if they would kiss, I certainly wouldn't, especially with somepony I've known for only a week I don't think I could," Fluttershy said as she laid down on the cloud. "Oh don't sell yourself short darling," Rarity smiled. "You'll find your perfect stallion "I hope so," Fluttershy said. "Right Pinkie?" "Yep, stallions," Pinkie glaced at Twilight. "Or maybe a mare" Pinkie said quietly. "Did you say something Pinkie?" Twilight asked. Pinkie's cheeks turned red. "No! I didn't say anything and you don't have any evidence against me!" Pinkie shouted. "Pinkie you are so random," Twilight giggled. "That's me Pinkie the random pony, heh" Rainbow flew up and her eyes widened when she saw a familiar dragon and pony walk towards them. "They're coming, shh!" Rainbow Dash flew above the cloud. Rarity hid behind a bush. Twilight nodded and used her magic to cover her and Pinkie Pie in a magenta bubble. "Do you think this will work?," Twilight asked in a whisper. Pinkie giggled softly. "I'm absolutely positive it'll work Twi!" Pinkie smiled. Their eyes tracked Spike and Coco walking through the grass. "They seem awfully cozzy," Pinkie nudged Twilight with her front leg. "Shh!" Twilight put her hoof to her lips. "Come on Twi they can't hear us or see us," Pinkie fiddled with her hooves. "Um, after this I was wondering if maybe you and I cou" "Quiet they are right there" "Okay... Nevermind" Pinkie's ears fell to the side of her head. Spike and Coco stopped in front of the picnic blanket which had a basket, multiple plates, roses, and wine glasses. Spike raised his eyebrow and picked up the wine glass. "Hmm, they're not here," he looked around "or maybe they are" out if the corner of his eye he could of sworn he saw curled blue tail. He smiled as a plan formed in his head. Coco sat down on the blanket. "They must be coming soon" Coco said. "Forget them," Spike got on one knee and whispered something in her ear which made her lightly giggle. "Do think they are?" Coco whispered back. Spike nodded. "While they're here let's pull bit of prank" Spike grinned mischievous grin. He cleared his throat. "Oh Coco look I think our friends aren't coming," he sat down. "We wouldn't want this food go to waste" "No we wouldn't Spike" Coco said trying to keep a straight face. "Let's eat lunch shall we?" Spike put his finger on her chin. "Spike what are you doing?" "Coco you don't need to hide your feelings" Spike put a hand on her face. "I know you love me." "You do?" Coco acted out as best as she could. "Coco I love you too" Spike kissed her on the lips. "But Spike I'm a pony and you're a dragon." "It's okay Coco, we can be together no matter what." "This changes everything Spike." "I know, but I love you" Spike held her hooves. "This picnic is a perfect place for our first date, and the food looks divine." "I was thinking we skip to desert," Spike said seductively. He kissed her on the lips. "I don't know out here in public?" Coco tried to hold back a smile. "That's right babe," He kissed her again. "Spike shouldn't we go back to the castle?" "No, we can do it here" Spike laid her down on the blanket. "No!, you stay away from each other!" Rarity yelled as she came out of a bush. Her face was red. Spike fell on the floor clenching his stomach in laughter. Rarity stood there shocked. "We really got you good!" He continued laughing. "What?" Rarity began to blush harder. "You two aren't?" "Of course not! You should of seen the look in your face" he wiped a tear off of his eye. "Okay, I know all of you are here come out" Twilight and Pinkie appeared as the bubble around them faded away. Rainbow Dash flew down with Fluttershy on her back. They approached him all with red plastered on their cheeks. "What happened to Fluttershy?" Spike asked. "She fainted halfway through your little act" Rainbow placed her on the ground. Pinkie Pie glanced at Twilight and blushed slightly. "We really thought you two were going to, you know," Pinkie said her face looking more pink than usual. "No, we wouldn't" Coco kissed Spike on the cheek. "How did you like the show?" "You got us, good" Rainbow Dash said. "I almost flew down to stop you two." "Even if you acted out that, I wouldn't be wrong to assume you two are more than friends" Twilight said. "Yep just proposed to Coco twenty minutes ago." "Really!?" All of the mares said at once. "Of course not," he grabbed her hoof "but maybe one day" Coco blushed. "Don't get ahead of yourself, you still haven't taken me on a date" "Speaking of dates what was this?" Spike pointed at the blanket. The mares blushed again. "Yeah about that" Rainbow scratched her neck. "We thought that maybe" Twilight began. "We could of brought you two together" Rarity finished her friend's sentences. "please don't be-" she was silenced by two hooves wrapping around her neck. "Thank you Rarity" Coco let go of her and kissed her on the cheek. Rarity blushed from being caught off guard. "No problem darling," Rarity put a hoof on her cheek. "Anything to help a friend." "Group hug!" Pinkie yelled as she pulled all her friends together. Fluttershy fell on her face. "Oops, we should probably wake her up." "You know we still got some food here," Spike put his arm around Coco. "Maybe we could have our date in privacy?" Spike said. "But," Twilight began, "Nevermind, come on girls." The mares nodded and walked away giggling. Spike sat down and patted the ground next him. Coco sat down and put her head on his shoulder. "So where were we?" "I think you were going to kiss me" "Good choice," Spike pushed his lips against hers and put his arm around her barrel. Coco put her hooves on his shoulders. They kissed for a few more seconds before parting. "I love you Coco." "I love you Spike," she sighed happily. "I'm so glad we're together." "Me too," He put a hand on her leg. "Coco I wanted to say that, well you changed my life for me." "I did?" "Yes. If you never came I would still be chasing after Rarity, nothing in my life would change." He stared into her eyes. "When I say I love you it makes my heart flutter in my chest. Right now I am just holding back the desire to kiss you again. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." he grabbed a bottle of cider out of the basket. He stuck his clawed finger Into the cork and with a quick pull the cork popped out. He grabbed the two wine glasses and poured. He picked up his glass and Coco did the same. "To us" "To us," they clanked the glasses together and took a drink. "I love you Spike" "Coco I love you more,"
