//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: The Date // Story: The Tale Of Shadow // by Enigmatic Brony //------------------------------// Chapter 7: The Date I awake to my alarm clock going off ‘Hmmm I don’t want to get up…..what time is it’ I roll over to see what the time it is ‘Holy crap its twelve o’clock already… I’ve really slept in I better get things prepared for tonight I begin to prepare for tonight. It takes me five and a half hours to get home ‘I hope see likes what I have planned for tonight… Well I better go have a shower’ As I finish up in the shower I head to my bed room ‘were is that colon I bought back on earth’ I hunt for the colon furiously, throwing clothes everywhere ‘Were is the damn thing… wait I think I put it in the bathroom so I wouldn’t forget about itI head for the bathroom and notice it sitting next to the sink ‘Agh this will do nicely’ I think to myself as I’m putting it on ‘Ok what time is it?’ I head down stairs to check what time it is ‘I better head over to Rarity’s its already five to six’ I run over to Rarity’s and knock on her door “Hey Shadow” said Rarity opening the door “Wow Rarity you look….. Amazing” I said looking at Rarity wearing a white and blue dress “Thanks Shadow I’ve been creating this dress for a while know” “It’s awesome” I said shocked at the sight of Rarity “They don’t call me the most fashionable Pony in all PonyVille for nothing” giggles “So… where are you taking me this fine night” “It’s a surprise” I said still shocked at the sight of a Rarity “Are you ready to go” “Sure am...Let’s get going” We begin to walk to the restaurant “So Rarity… how have you been?” “Fine… just spent a day with Fluttershy down at the Spa” “I thought Fluttershy wouldn’t be into to that stuff” “Not at all… We go to the Spa at least once a week” “And I thought you didn’t need to go to the spa” “Whatever do you mean Shadow” “Someone as beautiful as you doesn’t need to go to the Spa a lot” “Oh… Shadow you know how to make a filly feel special “Well…..” I said as we arrive at Pony La Graze “were here now” “OH Shadow how did you now I like this place” “Let’s just said I know a lot of thing” “Welcome Sir Shadow… and how might your lovely lady here be” said the white pony with black hair wearing a white tuxedo “Hey Al… This is my date for this evening Rarity” “Nice to meet you Rarity” “Nice to meet you as well” Said Rarity “Well Shadow we have booked you a table over there in the corner next to the windows… bests seats in this restaurant” “Thank you Al” Rarity and I head to the table in the Corner. “Here you go Rarity” I said pulling out the chair for her to sit on “Oh thankyou Shadow” “No worries” I said with a Smile “Well how do you know the owner of Pony La Graze?” “Well long story short I saved his daughter from some bullies” “Wow Shadow I swear you have a thing for saving people” “Hey I’m just a nice guy” “Yep” “Any other surprises you got hide under your sleeves” “You’ll find out later tonight” “Are you ready to order” said the Waiter “Umm…..” I said “how about you go first Rarity” “Sure... I will get the Italian Daisies and hay ball pasta “I’ll get the same thing “I said not knowing what all this food taste like “thanks” I said as the waiter leaves “So Rarity when did you become interested in fashion?” “Well ever since I was a young filly I’ve been into creating clothes and fashion” states Rarity “what about you when did you become interested in Music?” “Well ever since I was six years old I always wanted to play the guitar like my favourite guitarist James Root. So my mum got me a guitar for my birthday and I’ve been interested in it ever since” I said “I could play a song for you sometime… because I have my guitar at my place” “Yeah I would like to hear you play” “Ah sir and Madam” said the waiter holding some champagne “The Boss would like to give you this with his compliments” “Oh that’s nice of him” Said Rarity “Tell Al thank you” I reply as the waiter walks off “Well that was nice of him wasn’t it” Said Rarity “Yeah that was really nice of him” I said while pouring the champagne into the glasses “Cheers” said Rarity “Cheers” I reply “Well Shadow how do you like PonyVille so far?” “Well what’s not to like I’ve made some new friends… I’m on a date with the most beautiful filly in all Equestria” “The only thing I miss is not being able to see my family” I add sadly “I now it must suck now but I promise you will see them again soon” “Here we go Sir and Madam” Said the waiter placing the food on the table “Thank you” I said “Well Rarity I guess it’s time to see what this tastes like” I said after taking a drink I begin to eat my dinner and it tastes magnificent and I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying this dish ‘Mmm I can’t believe this tastes so good’ I think to myself As me and Rarity finish are dinner up I ask the waiter for the check “Hey what about dessert” asked Rarity “I’ve got something special planned for desert” I reply smiling “More surprises Shadow… you really have planned this date well” “Well you’re a special filly” The waiter bring the check and whispers to me that the meal has been payed for me by Al “Well Rarity are you ready to go” “Sure” We walk outside to head to are next destination “Rarity I want to show you something first that I’ve learnt how to do” “What is it” “Just watch” I begin to fly around the restaurant with Rarity looking amazed at my new ability “So Rarity how you like it” I said as I land in front of her “Where did you learn to do that?” “I learnt to do that yesterday before I asked you out” “Why didn’t you show me then?” “I wanted it to be a surprise” “Well what other surprises have you got waiting for me” “Jump on and I’ll show you” “Okay” said Rarity eager to see the next surprise We begin to head towards the next surprise “So Rarity how have you enjoyed the night so far” “I am loving it so far…but I’m trying to figure out the next surprise” “Well you’ll find out pretty soon” We travel for another five minutes until we nearly arrive at the surprise spot. “Rarity could you please put this blindfold on” “Why would I want to do that?” said Rarity looking at the blind fold thinking its unfashionable and disgusting. “So you won’t see the surprise before we get there… and it’s not like anyone is going to see you with it on. “Fine… I’ll put it on” “thankyou” I begin to land at the special surprise spot “Okay Rarity you can take the blind fold off now” As Rarity takes the blind fold off she notices that we have gone to the beach and there is a picnic basket and a rug on the sand next to where I landed. “Oh Shadow it’s…. It’s Delightful” “Ha I thought you might like it… shall we sit down” “Sure” “So Rarity what would you like to have dessert” “Sure” I open the Picnic basket and pull out some chocolate covered strawberries and Caramel Ice cream “Oh Shadow you are definitely full of surprises” We begin to eat dessert and within thirty minutes we are finished “So Rarity… how you liking the night so far” “It’s been beautiful so far” said Rarity “Well that’s good” “But do you mind if I go home… I’m getting tired and I’ve got an order to finish tomorrow” yawned Rarity “Yeah just hop on” Rarity jumped on my back and buried her head into my fur and began to fall asleep. ‘I can’t believe I’ve been able to score a date with Rarity and have it go so well’ We arrive back at Rarity’s Carousel boutique “we’re here” I said to Rarity softly “Hmmm… oh were at my house” Rarity said tiredly as she hopes of my back, “thank you for the wonderful night Shadow… I’ve never been on a date as amazing as that” “No worries Rarity… you deserve it” “Well thank you… and goodnight” said Rarity as she leans over and kisses me ‘Wow…. I didn’t expect that’ I think to myself “Well…Good night Shadow” said Rarity with a love smirk on her face “Yeah goodnight” I said shocked that I was kissed by Rarity “Bye” she said as she shuts the door ‘I can’t believe I was kissed by RARITY!’ I screamed to myself thinking that Rarity may hear me I quickly Dash back to my house in excitement ‘Man things are looking up for me’ I begin to head to bed and go to sleep till tomorrow
