//------------------------------// // Should I Ask Her? // Story: Tales From a NOT SO HAPPY Heartbreak // by Crimson Inferno //------------------------------// What a very special day coming in 4 days, I thought happily. "Ah... Hearts and Hooves Day, a romantic and awesome occasion in Equestria, but I'll just have to be happy about Valentine's Day here," I said to the girls. RD, AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Midnight were with me. RD said," You bringing anyone to the dance? Coz, I know who I'm bringing." She shot a glare and a grin to Fluttershy, who blushed in return. "Hold up. You're bringing Shy with you?" I asked. "Uh-huh," Rainbow Dash said while giving a nod. "Sunset, darlin', who are you going to bring?" Rarity asked me. "Yeah, Sunny, who ya bringin'. Ah ma bring mah sugarcube, Rares over here," Applejack said. "I... uh... think I won't go with anyone... or I might not go at all," I said, trying to avoid their glances, especially Sci-Twi's. "What?!" The girls exclaimed, while Sci-Twi just said,"Oh..." "Come on Sunset! I'm going with Cheese Sandwich! Just ask your crush M-" I cover Pinkie's mouth before she could say the last word. I wish Pinkie had wrong hunches instead of correct ones, I thought. "Go... with... your... crush?" Sci-Twi asked, looking down. Oh, Sci-Twi... I wish I could just say it. Sci-Twi... I wish you would like me all over again like the date we had one time, I thought. Even though, she liked me before but I don't know if she likes me back now. However, I saw her blushing and twirling a lock of hair. Then, Flash comes out of nowhere. "So, Sci-Twi... Since, you don't have a date and it would be hard to find one in 4 days, will you be my date to the Valentine's Day Dance?" Flash said right in my face. I turned away because my face was turning a new shade of red. The girls saw my reaction and comforted me, while Sci-Twi was caught in the Sentry trap. "Just answer 'yes,' 'no,' or 'maybe,'" Flash said with a grin. Sci-Twi finally gave up and said,"Maybe." "Okay. Thanks," Flash said and ran to his gang. The girls, except for Pinkie, said,"There's pretty much more boys to go to the dance with." "It's not about the boys or Flash," I said as quietly as I could, so, Sci-Twi won't hear. The girls, except for Pinkie, didn't understand, so, Pinkie explained. "Remember when Sci-Twi asked Sunset out? Well, through that experience on the date and some of our hang outs, Sunset realizes that she had a crush on Sci-Twi. And now, Sunset's worried that Sci-Twi doesn't like her the way Sci-Twi liked her before," Pinkie explained really fast but they got every single detail. Sci-Twi walked up to us after processing of what just happened in the trap and seeing the girls constantly saying,"It's okay, Sunset." "Sunset, don't worry. I might not go with Flash to the dance, so, you still have a chance with me- I mean him," Sci-Twi said while hugging me. I don't want Flash, I want- Saywhatnow... you said 'me,' but then changed to 'him,' I thought. "You answered with a probability response," I said. "I know..." Sci-Twi said breaking her embrace. "Hey, cheer up... We can still go to the dance as friends even if one or two of us don't have dates," Dash said. "I guess so..." I said, smiling at Sci-Twi. "Let's have a sleepover at my place. We can discuss about the dance and our plans after it,"Pinkie said. "Okay... Let's bring our instruments too, you know, in case we want to rock out," Fluttershy said. "Sure!" The rest of us, except Sci-Twi, said. "Um... Don't you remember that I don't have one?" Sci-Twi said. "It's okay Twi. I can give you my other electric guitar and teach you how to play it," I said, putting my arm on her shoulder. The girls giggle, while Pinkie said," Alright! SunLight!" "Why is she saying our ship name?" Sci-Twi said. "Our?" I asked. "Oh... um... forget what I said." "Okay. Let's head home and pack for the party." The girls and I put our hands in and did our "Rainbooms FOREVER!" "Okay, lets go there in 7:30 P.M." we all agreed. ----- 5:30 P.M. (2 hrs left) ----- "Hey, Mom, I'm going to be at a sleepover st Pinkie's," I said to my human mom, Celestia. You see, my real mom had been killed in a war and before the war in Equestria, she made Princess Celestia my official mom if she never return... Sadly, she didn't return, so, yeah. Since, I'm living here in the human world, my mom is Principal Celestia. The human me and I already met and she had to go to a mission, so, I agreed to take her place while she's gone. "Okay, sweetie. Be sure to find a date before the dance or else I'll have to go with you and ask the boys or girls," Mom joked. "Really? Mom, please be serious." "I am. Oh, if you are picking up anyone, please be careful. Wait... I remember something else... Oh yeah, your Aunt Cadence and Shining Armor finally got married. I'm so sorry that you didn't go." "Really? Well, I'll be sure to congratulate him and Cadence." "Okay. But, still find a date or else..." "Come on, I know that you already know that I like girls more." "Yes, sweetie, I know you like girls but who in particular?" "It's... the... new... student... Twilight... Sparkle..." "I see... Well, tell me how the sleepover came out tomorrow at school." "I will." "Sunset, don't leave me," my puppy, Dim Sum, said, jumping into my bag "I won't. Mom, where's Phoebe?" I asked. "She's at school remember?" Mom replied. "I'm going to pick up Twilight, so, you better behave, Dim Sum," I said to my puppy. "I will," she said, licking my face. "Don't forget your PJs, bag, hair tie, electric guitars, glasses, contacts, book, pen, laptop, leather jacket, and extra clothes... Also, tell the girls about the Prince and Princess of Valentine's coronation. You vote for the couple, and you can vote for yourself too," Mom said. "Okay, thanks Mom. And hold tight Dim Sum," I said as I sped off to Everfree in my motorbike. -----7:00 P.M. (30 mins)----- Knock, knock A man with well-combed blue hair answered the door. "Hello, Mr..." I started. "Sunset, have you forgotten the day you and Twily went out?" He said. "Yeah, I guess," I said. "Well, I'm Night Light... Twily's dad but you can call me 'Dad," Night Light said. "Hey, Dad, I just-" a very familiar voice of a young man with baby blue and blue hair came in the room. "Shining Armor?" I asked in awe. "Sunset Shimmer, my niece from Cadence's sister, Celestia?" Shining Armor asked and gave me a hug. "Eeyup, it's me Uncle Shining and congrats," I said with a cool aura. "Thanks. I can't believe that I get to see you again but not as your babysitter but as your uncle and brother-in-law!" Shining said with a smirk. Thunk! went a book. To my surprise it was Sci-Twi who had hit Uncle Shining with the book. "Hehehehe... Please excuse my brother's joke," Sci-Twi said shakily and with a dark blush. "Oh... Twily apoligize to your brother now," Twilight Velvet scolded. "Mom...." Sci-Twi whined and showed her puppy eyes. Gah, FUCK! Why is she soo cute when she does that, I thought while blushing. "Fine, that's a warning young lady. The next time you do it, you are grounded and I will let Sunset keep you company if you do get grounded," Velvet said. "Uh... Twi... erm... get your stuff and let's go," I said with a blush. "Sunset, why don't you stay in while Twily gets her stuff," Velvet said to me. "Okay..." I said. Sci-Twi ran to her room to get her stuff. "Um... Mrs. Velvet-" I started. "Please just call me Mom," Velvet said. "Okay. Mom, why did you ask me to stay inside?" I asked getting a little uncomfortable. "Well, Sunset... Remember when you went out with Twily. I thought that Twily liked you but when I saw that blush spreading on your face, that's when I knew that you like her back," Velvet said. "I do like her, but I don't know if she still likes me," I said and looked down ????????????. "She still likes you Sunset. You should see her room, I'd say there are too many pictures of you, her, and the girls," Velvet said with a laugh. "Really?" I said holding back a laugh. "Yeah," Velvet said. "Okay, I'm ready to go! And I brought Spike along," Sci-Twi said while pushing her glasses to the bridge of her nose much more closer to her eyes because it was about to fall off. "Great, I brought Dim Sum... Let's roll," I said. "Take care of her," Velvet said to me. "I will," I said back. "Hop on my motorbike and let's go," I said going on my motorbike.
