Skywalker was enjoying a day off, just relaxing by the pool he didn't use. It had rained the night before and the thick fog was is lifting. "Small town? Lot's of rain, followed by mist..." Skywalker said to himself, "If people start turning up dead hanging from TV antenna's, I'm getting the fuck out of here. Unity or no.". Suddenly the door bell rings, walking carefully towards it, ready to defend himself, he opens it revealing Flash Sentry standing there.
Before Skywalker could even say so much as a 'hallo', Flash slapped his hands together and giving him a bow, "Please Skywalker, I have a favor to ask of you!", he begged. Skywalker asked what the favor was, and so Flash Sentry started to explain.
Late afternoon, the previous day at school. Flash saw his crush standing by her locker, all alone. Gathering up all his courage and following Skywalker's example, he walked up to her and started to talk to her. After greeting each other, "So, Twilight. Random question... Would you... ever consider going on a date with me? I mean just as friends.", he said rubbing his neck. Twilight, thinking he was just messing around told her in her driest voice, "Not in a million years. Why?".
Inside, Flash could hear his heart shatter, "Damn it! I have to fall back on plan B.", he thought before speaking up again, "H-Hey, Twilight. Skywalker wants to hang out with you. He's a little shy about it, so he wanted me to ask you for him.".
She looked surprised, Skywalker never showed her much interest beyond that of just friends, "That's so sweet. I never knew he could be so romantic...". Flash cut her off, wondering how his friend could be so good at attracting mates, "Yeah, he is a regular Casanova. Now do you wanna hang out with us or not?", he asked, Twilight agreeing with her. She told him she would bring Fluttershy with her, so it wouldn't look like they were dating or something.
Back in present, Skywalker and Flash were now sitting at the pool, drinking a soda as the blue haired boy finished his story. "I see. Griffifth has canceled our hang out, and I have nothing better to do so...", Skywalker started, gaining a hopeful smile of his friend, "Sure, I help you. But just so you know, your paying for my popcorn.", Skywalker said as Flash started to thank him profoundly.
An hour later, the two were standing in front of the theater waiting for their friends. "Skywalker, I can't thank you enough. You are a Saint.", Flash said again, making his friend tell him to stop thanking him. Moments before they were arrived, he could have sworn he saw Griffifth entering the theater with someone. "Do you think god is a woman?", Flash asked trying to change the subject of him owning his friend for the rest of his life. "No.", Skywalker said flatly, "God is not a woman. How do I know? Well...", he started having to think about Aether, though she had informed him that she was just an very ancient and powerful being, not a god. "I think if god was a woman, that Moses hadn't held out for 40 days on that mountain top. He would have come down after 3 days saying, 'if that woman opens her mouth ONE more time!'. Also I don't think he would have come back with only ten rules."
Fluttershy was completely nervous, she was going on a date with Skywalker. She knew Flash had a crush on Twilight, this was obvious to everyone save, Twilight herself. She just hoped that she wouldn't mess up. He had been so kind to her, when he didn't have to. The two girls arrived in Twilight's car, after parking it, they could see the two waiting for them. Greeting them, the four of them started to discuss to which movie they should be going. "Already seen that one, bad one, bad one, I will kill everyone if we go to that one.", Skywalker said as they looked through the movies they were currently showing, before they settle on an action-comedy.
After buying their snack, they headed for cinema, trying to get good seats. It was dark inside, though only a scarce few other people seemed to be watching the movie as well. Sliding down the row until they were in the last two seats in the corner, who were occupied by two familiar looking faces.
"Griffifth and... Principal Celestia?", Skywalker asked gaining the attention of the two. Griffifth managed to compose himself as the four of them sat down in the seats next to them, "What are you two doing here? I thought you said you were going to be doing yard work all day.", he continued to ask. "We managed to finish the work early.", Skywalker looked over to acknowledge Celestia, who had been the one to speak up. He raised an eyebrow at the principal's casual clothing. "I felt bad for making Griffifth miss out on meeting his friends that I offered to take him to a movie." Skywalker shrug his shoulders, sitting next to Griffifth while Fluttershy plopped herself down next Skywalker on one side and Twilight on the other.
Out of the corner of his eye, Skywalker saw Celestia placing a hand on Griffifth's shoulder, giving him a soft smile. "I guess, but you could have texted me anyway Grif." Skywalker said, his tone not particularly happy. "I didn't even know you were here until I saw you head into the theater." Griffifth quickly shot him an apologetic look, prevented from saying anything by the movie starting. Despise the darkened room, Skywalker could spot his blond friends hand sliding over to grasp Celestia's own.
Two hours later, the six left the theater, all in good spirits thanks to the movie. "That. Was. So. Awesome!" Flash said, his fists raised in excitement. "Yeah, it was super funny.", Fluttershy agreed, her smile only widening as Skywalker offered to walk her home. Flash was just about to offer Twilight the same thing, but before he could make the offer, she said, "Oh, my dad's here.", thanking her friends, and saying goodbye to them and principal Celestia, she walked off to join her dad, a little disappointed that Skywalker hadn't offered to walk her home.
After saying goodbye, Skywalker and Fluttershy left one way, while Flash headed of in the other direction. Disappointed that he couldn't walk his crush home. Just before the two could turn around a corner, he overheard Griffifth saying, "Let's see if we can still get some time alone on this date.".
Skywalker and Fluttershy walked through the park, enjoying the warm evening after their night out. "I come here every so often. It's nice and quiet...", she said shivering a little, though it was nice outside, the wind was a little cold. Suddenly, she felt a coat being placed on her shoulders. Looking to her side, she saw that Skywalker had taken off his coat and placed it on her shoulders. A deep blush cropped on her face, but she was suddenly snapped out of it as she heard a voice call out to her.
It was one of her neighbors living close to her house, after talking a little, Mrs. Cake told her she was taking a little break after a long day at the bakery. After that she turned to Skywalker, studying him before realizing who he possible was, "Oh! Is that the rumored boyfriend? I see... That hard work in the kitchen paid off, huh?", Mrs. Cake teased, making the pink haired girl blush deeply, sputtering that it was not like that.
"Wow, your face is burning red. Well, I'll let you two be alone!", Mrs. Cake said before walking off.
Fluttershy looked down to the ground, trying to mutter an apologize, saying that she had the wrong idea. He noticed that his friend had seemed to have broken out in a cold sweat. "It's alright.", Skywalker said before asking how they come to the idea about them dating. "She is teaching me tips on how to cook. I said I would try to learn on my own, but I kept messing up. I burnt myself a couple of times...".
After that, they made some more small talk before spotting a shooting star. "What are you gonna wish for?", she asked as Skywalker closed his eyes. "For everyone...", he started, not saying out loud the next part of his wish, or else it wouldn't come true. She looked happy, that was so like him. "Are you going to wish for something?", he asked after he was done doing his wish. She nodded closing her eyes, "I'm wishing for everyone's health. For Rainbow, for Skywalker, for the others, too. And...", she muttered, him trying not to listen in to her wish. "I'm wishing to become a woman worthy of Jason...", she said, the last words hitting him like a truck.
"Wait what?", he exclaimed, while she claimed it was nothing. They walked a little while longer, the two crossing a bridge, Fluttershy stopped in her tracks. "U-Umm, I wanted to ask you this before.", she said, turning her gaze to the ground before, waiting for him to answer. He gave her a nod, turning around to face her, "Wh-Why... Why are you always with me?".
A silence followed, looking back up, she saw that Skywalker was standing closer to her. "Why I am always with you? I just... really like you.", he said, a faint blush on his own cheeks. She was completely taken aback by this, "Y-You like?... M-Me?...", she managed to get out after a few minutes, her face becoming red, "Uh, ummm... I-I feel the same way... so...". He let out a sigh of relieve, "I thought my heart was going to stop.", he said as she pulled her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder, having to stand on the tips of her toes to do it. "Umm... Stay here with me... just a little longer.", she whispered in his ear.
The two of them spend a long while on that bridge together. Seeing that it was almost her curfew, Skywalker walked her to the front door of her house before heading home himself.
The next day, which was a Friday, they had the afternoon off. Fluttershy told Skywalker that her parents would be out of town that weekend and she asked if she could stay at his place. So after a quick trip to her house, gathering a with a bag of supplies and a change of clothes, they now found themselves at his house. After petting Spike, she asked shyly if she could see his room. Seeing no reason not to, she followed him upstairs. After entering, he noticed that she was looking around nervously, so he asked her what's wrong.
"Oh, s-sorry! I didn't mean to look around so much, it's just that this is the first time I've been in a boys room.", he ensured her it was alright. "Oh, you sleep on a bed, I see. I use a bed, too... Umm, sorry... I don't know what to talk about.", she said turning his eyes to the ground.
Again, Skywalker ensure her it was alright, before asking her if the bed was good for her. She looked at him stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant. "Oh, y-y-you mean where I would sleep tonight? Anywhere's fine... I'm... fine with anything... You don't need to worry about me.", she was happy he would allow her to have the bed.
A few hours later found the two sitting at his pool, Fluttershy gave him a package telling him that she had wanted to give it to him a while ago. Unwrapping it, he saw that is was a similar coat he usually wears, but instead of black, it was clean white.
"I asked Rarity's help to make this. It's to protect you.", she said as he tried it on. It was a perfect fit. "Thank you. But, you'll protect me.", he said, placing his hand on hers. "Yes but... You will be leaving at the end of the year. So that coat will protect you in my place... even if we're apart, we're together.", she explained, turning her gaze towards him. Tears of happiness filled in her eyes, "Um... I love you...", she whispered in a trembling tone. He was looking deeply in her eyes, his amber's into her light blues, using his thumb to wipe away one of the tears that had escaped her eyes. "Don't stare so much at me. Can I say it again?", she asked as he touched her forehead with his, whispering, "Yes."
"...I love you.", he wrapped his arms around her, holding her body against his own. "I love you too.", he whispered back, feeling a little guilty that he would soon be leaving.
