Chapter 9: A Plan in Commission

Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara went over to the counter to buy their coffee as Snails went out to buy the tickets for me. I'm hoping my plan comes together. Fuck, I could've planned this out a different way, I could've went out and buy the tickets myself whilst Snails would cover for me. Fucking hell, I'm such an idiot. I looked over to see that Silver and Diamond Tiara were ordering coffee at the counter, so I've thought to myself of another plan, what I'm going to do is that I'm going to rest myself against my hoof and close my eyes, as if I would be dosing off, then if Silver sees me, I think she would come to me, greet me, I'll act surprised to see her, I'll offer her to sit with me, Snails will come in, sneak the tickets under the table, I'll surprise Silver with the tickets and it will all end happily.

Snails better not fail me, I may seem like a douchebag and a nonce for saying that, but he better not. There's plenty of times in which I've done something for him, but I get nothing for it and he doesn't do anything for me in return. It's annoying as all hell, but at least he's helping me with this date, and I'm hoping he can do this certain task for me.

I rested my head against my hoof, and closed my eyes and awaited for Silver. With my eyes closed, I obviously didn't see anything, and I was left to my own thoughts. What's going to come of my shitty reputation at School, now that me and Silver are technically an item now? How is everypony going to react to it? Will they consider me a saving grace and maybe think I can show them that the bullies aren't as bad as they seem (well, one of the bullies at least), or will they just consider me an accident waiting to happen? Hell, I don't fucking know. We'll wait and we'll see, friends.

Shit, I still don't know if we can be considered a couple yet. As I've only asked to go to the Gala with me, which is nine days away. Just what do I do during that time with her, that is if I do have time, or if she has time,

"Excuse me, Snips?" An extremely familiar female voice called out.

OK, Time to get into character, it's obviously Silver Spoon, it's her attractive voice. I slowly opened my eyes, pretending that I was actually sleeping, and I opened my eyes to the sight of a beautiful young mare with a grey coat, dark purple eyes and sexy glasses, it's Silver Spoon, much to my expectations,

"Oh my God, Silver!" I pretended to be surprised, "How are you?"

"I'm great, Snips" She replied with a smile, "What about yourself?"

"I'm feeling good, now you're here" I said.

Shit. Was that overshooting it? Saying that? Oh God, that's embarrassing,

"Oh, you!" She chuckled.

Oh, I guess it wasn't that bad then. Phew, that could've ended creepily,

"Em...uh...do you and....uh..." I struggled to say as I turned my head slowly to see Diamond Tiara leaning against the counter , whilst still looking at me with a pissed off expression, "...Diamond Tiara want sit with me and Snails over here?"

Silver looked over at her friend and Diamond Tiara lightly shook her head, but Silver had another decision in mind,

"Yeah, we'd love to" Silver said.

"Eh-hem, Silver Spoon" Diamond Tiara tried to get her attention.

"What is it?" Silver asked.

"What about our coffee?" Diamond asked.

"I'll get it once it's ready, alright?" Silver replied.

"Fine" Diamond shrugged.

Silver looked at her friend as Diamond turned around and waited for her coffee. I scooted over and left space for Silver Spoon in the booth, and she sat beside me,

"Did you get the news that the School is shut as well?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I did. I didn't see you at the School though" Silver replied.

"Oh, me and Snails got there early, we saw the note on the door and just took the longer way to here" I told her.

"Where is Snails anyways?" She questioned.

"Oh, he's in the restroom" I lied, knowing he's probably buying me and Silver's tickets right now.

"OK, did you tell him about um...." She started to say.

"Yesterday?" I asked.

Silver nodded, "Yeah, did you tell Snails about it? I won't get mad if you say you did" She told me.

"To be honest, yeah, I did. How come you're not mad about it?" I asked.

"Word will get around about it eventually, mostly from Spike, considering the fact you two don't like each other" Silver replied.

Let me think about this for a second, Spike and Twilight know about the library thing, there's no doubting about that, Spike is the one who would probably spread the word to his friends, with the more important ones being Applejack and Rarity, then they might either mention around or to their sisters, then they'll spread the word to Scootaloo, then all three will spread it to the other students in the school. So yeah, by tomorrow, everyone's going to assume me and Silver are an item,

"Huh, I guess you're right" I chuckled with contempt.

"I told Dee as well, part of it, sorry" Silver apologized.

"Dee?" I questioned as I took a sip of my milkshake.

"Oh, I mean Diamond Tiara, it's a nickname I give her" She replied.

At this point, Diamond Tiara came over to the table with both hers and Silver's coffee, she then sat in the same booth Snails was sitting in,

"So is that other milkshake yours as well, Snips?" Diamond Tiara asked me, referencing Snails' lone milkshake.

"No, it's Snails'" I replied.

"Where is he anyways?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Restroom" I replied.

"Is that why he's outside there?" She asked as she pointed out of the window towards Snails, just before he was stepping inside the cafe once more.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. This is stupid, Damn it, this is so stupid. I hope Snails can act along with me so we don't raise suspicions.

Snails then came over and said,

"Oh, Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara. Funny seeing you two here. Excuse me, Diamond, can you scootch up, so I get some space please?" He asked.

"Of course" Diamond replied as she moved up the booth.

"Ah, better letting all that out, than letting it stay in" He said to me as he sat the booth, disgusting the two mares in the booths.

OK, I know Snails isn't a smart fellow, so to speak. But he of all ponies should know when and when not to speak about dirty things when around other ponies, this is a time when he is not meant to speak about dirty things, he can be an absolute fucking idiot sometimes. Or maybe he's not being an idiot and is just doing this as a stupid joke. I can't be sure,

"So, Snails, how come you were outside?" Diamond asked.

At this point, Snails' half closed eyes widened. As everyone looked at him, he looked at me, with an expression that said "Help me out, man!" I thought of something, I said to him,

"Yeah, how come you were outside, man?" I asked calmly. I winked at him, which was pretty much me saying "Say anything, just think of an excuse".

Snails thought to himself, then he looked at Diamond Tiara, who was still expecting an answer. Then he came up with something,

"Well, Snips, you remember Tommy, right?" He asked me.

"The drug dealer?" I questioned.

"Yeah, him. I just noticed him outside and realized I owe him bread from two months ago, when my gramps was on vacation" Snails acted out well.

"Bread?" Silver questioned.

"Slang for money" Snails told her.

"Oh right" Silver replied.

"Don't speak like that, Snails" I said.

"Speak like what, homie?" He asked.

"Like that" I told him, "Homie, bread, all that crap, man. You're not a gangster from Las Pegasus or Manehattan"

"I'm a pothead, it's close enough" Snails joked.

OK, Snails is going too far now, the gang slang, the dirty jokes, the pot reference. I need to set him straight, right now,

"Silver?" I tried to get her attention.

"Yes, Snips?" She replied.

"Me and Snails, need to talk about about something, in private, can I just get passed you please?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure" She replied.

"Thanks, Silver" I said.

"No problem" Silver smiled.

She scooted out of the booth to let me out, I let myself out of the booth and she slid back to sit inside the booth,

"Snails, come with" I ordered my friend.

"Sure thing man" He replied as he followed me.

I went over to beside the door that led to the male restroom, Snails followed on. I stopped, turned around to face my friend and said to him,

"You got the tickets, man?"

"Sure thing, Snips" Snails replied, "I got them right here"

He levitated the tickets out from the strangest, though the most genius place Snails would think of, his mane. He levitated them over to me and I took over the levitation with my magic,

"Thanks, Snails" I thanked, "Also, I don't know if you're being an asshole, playing a cruel joke or you just don't know any better, but stop acting like a fucking idiot around Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara"

"I don't know what you mean" He replied, acting confused, when he actually knew I was being serious.

"The gang speak, the drug references, the fucking piss joke" I said.

"Hey! One of those drug references saved your fucking plan!" He replied.

"OK, yeah, I will admit that, but that still doesn't stop you from making piss jokes and acting like your douchebag gangster uncle" I told him.

"I'm trying to act cool around Diamond Tiara" He said.

"No offense, Snails. But you wouldn't know cool if it sat on your face" I replied, "Why are you trying to act cool around Diamond Tiara anyways? You don't like her"

"I know, but she's got something going on, she's looking good" Snails said in tone that suggested he might hit on her.

"Your one-track mind makes it difficult for me to be your friend, you know that?" I asked.

"Hasn't stopped you from being my best friend for eleven years" Snails said.

"True" I replied, "But anyways, don't try to hit on Diamond Tiara, she'll turn you down before you even finish your sentence, save the hitting on for Scootaloo"

"You can't stop me" Snails told me.

"You're right, I can't. But I'm telling you not to do it, because you're going to make an ass of yourself" I said.

"Ass of myself? When do I not make an ass of myself? It can't get any worse" He replied.

I shrugged, he makes a fair point, and at least he's honest about being an ass. So I might as well let him do it, even though I know what the consequences are going to be,

"Fine" I uttered, "Let's go back to the table, I want to surprise her"

"Alright, man" Snail responded.

We both made our back to the table, I sat back beside Silver Spoon and Snails sat back beside Diamond Tiara, and then he started to say to her,

"So, Diamond Tiara, long time, no spea-"

"Don't talk to me, perv" She interrupted him, before taking a sip of her coffee, then resting the cup back on the table, "Just...don't"

Well, what do you know? I was right again, she rejected him before he could finish his words. Cold bitch. Snails, looked to the empty side of him, feeling rejected. Diamond Tiara showed no emotion, and just stared out of the window. I looked over to Silver Spoon, who sighed at her bitchy friend and took a sip of her coffee, she looked annoyed at Diamond Tiara, maybe I can cheer her up with the tickets,

"Silver, are you OK?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Snips" She nodded.

"You sure?" I wanted to make sure.

She nodded and let out a little "mhm" hum,

"Guess what, Silver? I've got something for you" I told her.

She turned to face with a smile, "What is it?"

"You know how I said I'd get the tickets to the Gala?" I hinted.

She gasped, "You didn't"

"I did" I replied as I levitated the tickets onto the table, "And one of them is yours"

At this point, Silver was overwhelmed with joy and before I knew it, she gave me a tight hug and a small peck on the lips, right in front of Snails and Diamond Tiara. But just after she kissed me, she realized it was the excitement taking her over, so after she finished, she blushed and looked over at her friend, who was looking at her with another pissed off expression, and I looked over at Snails, and he gave the exact look you would probably think at a time like this, he had that shit eating grin on his smug face,

"Well, man. It seems you and Silver have got plans to discuss, I'll leave you two alone and buy some pot, homie" He said, taunting me and ignoring my instruction of not speaking like a gangster and the drug references, it's like he's trying to make me hate him.

I sighed in annoyance, "Don't bogart that shit, man. I'll catch you later"

Snails nodded and got out of the booth and made his way out of the cafe, and you know what? I couldn't be happier. Diamond Tiara also finally started to say something,

"Well, that coffee was good. What about yours, Silver?" She asked.

"It was....em....OK" Silver replied.

"I'll see you two lovebirds later, but by the next time I see you, every pony in school will be crowding around you" Diamond Tiara said as she left the booth and exited the cafe.

It was just me and Silver left here now. Our friends were now gone and it was just me and her together. She still looked a little shy after the brief kiss we shared,

"You OK?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, if that kiss seemed a little abrupt" She apologized.

"No need to be sorry, Silver. I didn't mind it, per say" I chuckled.

"It was just over-excitement. And thanks for the tickets, Snips" Silver thanked.

"It's the least I can do" I said.

"Oh, OK" She replied.

"Do you want to go do something?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry, want to just stay here and get some food?" She asked, "I'll buy since you got the tickets"

"OK, that's cool, thanks" I replied gratefully.

Silver leaned over towards me and gave me a little kiss on the cheek, she then came towards my ear and whispered,

"You're welcome"
