The sound of a blaring alarm woke up Rainbow Dash. Her head hurt as she gingerly touched the deadly alarm for her head and stared at the time. Eight am. Okay could work with that. Her head was pounding though and the light was doing a number on her eyes. Great. Twilight magically caused a hangover thanks to bringing up bad memories. Dash did not have a drinking problem- not one bit. She just liked to hide her feelings and deal with them only when completely smashed. So overall, a functioning member of society with just a few quirks. Pulling her body up to a sitting position and quickly swishing her tongue around to check how smashed she had got came up with her final level smashed- Vodquila shots. Oh so that was why she didn't remember running home from the Library.

Guess she had to brush her teeth then. Sunglasses? Maybe. Best check the light outside to make sure.

Dash stared outside for a few seconds, looked back and for sure there was some of those weirdly colored dots dancing in her vision. Great. That's a call for her sunglasses then. Quickly rummaging trough her bedside table, she quickly grabbed them and put her feet gentely on the floor. Ugh, now probably couldn't clean or whatever. 

"Guess that means I should clean up though. Dunno if she's a clean freak or not. Don't want to have a repeat of her attempt to have a relationship with Caramel- he was rather all for neat freakiness. But she didn't want to come of like what dating Vinyl Scratch caused her to turn into. That was a mess that made Rarity have a panic attack. Yeah.

"Well that just does it then. Option C. Hide my dirty clothes under my bed like a true adult. Take that responsibilities. Meet air freshener!" 

Laughing to herself in her empty house on top of the hill looking down on the town, she got up and got ready for the day. 




Rainbow Dash rather liked Saturdays. She could sleep in and enjoy herself since weather patterns weren't fickle enough to cause major headaches even when right near the Everfree. The Ponyville Weather Service was whipped in to shape so often, most of the recruits and staff could deal with the off chance that a huge storm could happen at the blink of an eye. Most days though were a nice and balmy high sixty temperature in the later summer months and so even with the hint of there being possible weather issues thanks to summer weather- it was a perfect day to get a date. 

And if Rainbow had anything to say outside the hearing range of a certain fashionista- she didn't look too shabby either. Though Rainbow hoped that she wouldn't see her friends at all, now especially Twilight cause that chick was a complete social mess, but more so because of the fact that for once Rainbow was wearing a dress for her own choice. Sometimes she liked fashion. 

And her gala dress was perfectly serviceable, though Rarity would call it something like so last year. But so was the curse of being born with a natural rainbow hair. It made it so hard to find a nice dress to match with clothes that looked nice at all.

Moving on from her daily one uncool thought, she glided slowly through the lazy town only quick enough to feel the breeze in her hair and not ruin her dress. She thought it was a date. Sounded like a date to her or something. Maybe it wasn't a date. No, it had to be a date cause that would make sense, two people sort of agreeing on a date to do something- that was how her last few relationships worked and those worked great before- oh course they stopped working and then they didn't but it wasn't like she hadn't tried. 

She was so lost in thought that she almost ran straight into Ditzy's front door. Well she would have if she hadn't been stopped by a quick wand wave of magic by somebody she'd seemingly never seen before but was frowning daggers into her.

"Oh yeah thanks for that. Should have looked where I was going or something."

"Oh Celestia, it's you. Of course it had to be. No this is just so amazing." The purple haired girl that Rainbow Dash didn't remember, for she was bad with people's faces so that was just a given, seemed to know her.

Rainbow Dash tried to play it cool. "Yeah, thanks. I get that a lot."

Purple girl just facepalmed. "Seriously? Great. I mean you fail at opening a pickle jar and you are friends with the person that stole my role in Winter Wrap Up and yet you don't remember me. Should have figured. Names Amethyst Star and have fun or something." The random girl just ran off in a huff and Rainbow Dash just put that up to an adoring fan trying to get attention or something. 

Moving on, she knocked on Ditzy's door and waited. The door opened and Rainbow Dash just stood there breathless. Ditzy was wearing a grey dress and a long brown coat and Rainbow thought that combo looked rather good on her but she was probably being overly focused on the whole it being Ditzy and not that it matched or anything.

"Want to go to Sugarcube Corner, Dash?"

"Sure, that sounds great to me."

Rainbow would have gone anywhere if Ditzy asked her and for the beginning of the first date, it really was going better than all the others Dash had so that had to mean something.
