10. The Best Night Ever
---in other news today, all you amateur astronomers out there are in luck, as tomorrow night, weather permitting, you will very likely witness the first meteor shower of the summer---
"Alright, Storm..." begun Star, who was standing at the very start of the runway, a small transistor radio sitting right behind her on the cloud surface, tuned to the local pop station. Storm and Blue stood right next to her, Storm trying to mentally prepare himself for whatever it was he was doing. It was an unbearably hot, humid morning in Cloudsdale and the temperatures rose to around 100 degrees in that part of the city alone, and Storm was quite understandably unaccustomed to the heat. "It's pretty obvious today is a pretty hot day, and so, after you're done with your flight lesson, we'll go get some drinks, alright? And try not to fly too high, at least not for now. The sun can really damage your wings at very high altitudes."
"Yes, ma'am," he nodded, cringing slightly at the thought of the sun damaging his wings.
"Alright then," replied Star, looking at a small, puffy cloud floating around a hundred feet above the runway. "Today's lesson may seem hard at first, but trust me; it's one of the easiest things you can do in flight. Today, you will attempt to land and stay on a cloud for longer than five seconds."
Storm gulped and begun shaking slightly. He still didn't consider himself to be a good flyer in any way, and yet, he had to learn how to land on a cloud. What if the cloud were to give way beneath his hooves? What if it wasn't solid, like the cloud layer on which Cloudsdale was built? Or what if the intense heat would cause it to evaporate? Questions like that raced through his mind, but luckily his fears were quelled by Blue, who nuzzled him gently and caressed his side.
"There there now, Storm..." she said. "It'll be alright. You'll do great."
"Thanks, Blue..." he smiled, calming down noticeably. "Thanks for believing in me."
"No problem," she grinned, kissing him on the cheek. "Like I said, you'll do great."
The two then turned to watch Star take off into the air and land on the cloud, before flying back down to the runway.
"That was great, ma'am," explained Storm.
"Thank you, Storm," replied Star. "Now, it's your turn. You remember how to properly take off?"
"Yes ma'am," he replied, walking up to the runway and standing beside Star. This was it; there was no backing out now. He needed to know how to land on that cloud if he wanted to progress through his flight lessons. And so, Storm prepared himself for takeoff, beads of sweat rolling down his face as he eyed the cloud on which he was supposed to land.
"Ready?" begun Star.
"Ready." he replied, putting on his game face.
"Set?"
"Set."
"Go!"
"Go Storm, go!" whispered Blue. "Go Storm, go!"
Storm trotted down the runway as fast as lightning, his eyes set on the small, white cloud on which he was supposed to land. Despite the heat, which made Cloudsdale seem more like the San Palomino Desert rather than north central Equestria, he still was determined enough to land on the cloud. Eventually, the time was right for him to unfold and begin to flap his wings. He did so and took off into the air, far higher than he had ever attempted to fly before. It was much colder up here than it was down on the ground, and even though the sun's rays battered him mercilessly, he found it much easier to fly up in the sky. Storm gasped as he looked around; he could see much of the airport and the skyscrapers of downtown Cloudsdale, along with several suburbs and some commuter towns surrounding the cloud metropolis. He could also make out a tiny castle sticking out of a large mountain in the distance, at least sixty-seventy miles from West Cloudsdale, which he presumed to be the capital city of Equestria, Canterlot. He was hoping to go there someday, but right now, he was stuck in Cloudsdale. Storm had to admit, the view was absolutely stunning. But then, he realized he was not up here to marvel at the view, but he was here to land (or at least attempt to land) on a cloud, which hovered at least fifty feet or so behind him.
He groaned and flew back towards the cloud, at the highest speed he could possibly fly at. He closed his eyes as he neared the cloud, still afraid of whether he was going to land on it or fall through it. Just then, his hooves touched the cloud, which was just as solid as the cloud Cloudsdale was built on. He sighed in relief, before looking down below at Star, Blue, and another pony that had just arrived and waving at them. He then fluttered his wings again and flew off the cloud and landed on the ground, where he was greeted by Blue.
"See?" she grinned. "I knew you could do it!"
"Yep, all thanks to you." he smiled, before turning to face Star. "So, how did I do, ma'am?"
"You did very well, Storm." smiled Star. "In fact, you did much better than I had expected you to do. Most flight students fail this the first time round."
"Really?" he gasped, before turning to look at Solar Blast. "Hi, Mr. Solar, sir."
"Yep." Solar grinned. "So, how are your wings?"
"Tired..." replied Storm, trying to move his wings, which had turned slightly red at the joints between them and the rest of his body due to the heat. "Ahh..." he hissed. "And a bit painful."
"You want something to drink, Storm?" asked Star. "Some soda should cool you right down."
"Yes please, ma'am." he grinned.
"Alright." she smiled, before going into the kitchen to fetch the soda, followed by Solar, who went to work on a business report, leaving Storm and Blue alone in the backyard.
"Uh, Blue?" begun Storm, in a rather awkward voice. "I don't know whether you'll accept, and I won't blame you if you don't..."
"Yeah?" she asked, her ears perking up.
"Would you... go somewhere with me?"
"You mean, like a date?"
"Yeah, well, yeah..." he replied, expecting to be rejected.
"I'd love to." she grinned, catching him completely off-guard.
"Where would you want to go?" he asked.
"Hm..." begun Blue. "I honestly don't know."
"I have an idea..." he grinned. "How about the local pizza restaurant? They serve these great Manehattan-style pizzas from 4 to 8 PM."
"Alright then," she replied, nuzzling against him. "I love pizza."
"Also, we could maybe take a stroll through the park on the way back..." he proposed. "What do you say at 6:30 PM tomorrow, huh?"
"6:30 PM tomorrow it is," she replied. "Thank you, Storm."
"No problem, Blue," he smiled.
The next evening...
While High Wind and Mist were in town shopping and Gust was practicing for a band audition, Storm and Equinox stayed behind at home. Storm was upstairs, busy preparing himself, both physically and mentally, for his first date with Blue Night. He was certain that this date would go much better than his date with Summer went, but he couldn't be too sure. He also wasn't very sure whether his relationship with Blue would last. Just then, Equinox came into his room, carrying a pressed shirt.
"So, are you ready for your date, sweetie?" she asked, giving him the shirt, which he put on and buttoned up.
"I don't know, mom..." he groaned. "I mean, I really like her and stuff... but I don't really know if she likes me. I've been having some bad thoughts about this date."
"Oh cheer up, son," she said, hugging him tightly. "I've seen you two together before; if you ask me, you two are a match made in heaven."
"You really think so, mom?" he asked.
"Yep." she grinned. "I hope the date goes well for you, son."
"Thanks, mom." he replied, hugging her tightly.
"No problem, son," she said, returning the hug. They stood there hugging for a minute or so, before Storm turned to look at his alarm clock sitting on his nightstand. The time was 6:01 PM, which meant he had less than half an hour to get to Blue's house and pick her up. "Looks like you better be heading off to Blue's house."
"Yeah..." he replied, trotting downstairs and out of the front door. "See you, mom."
"Bye son." she waved at him. "Have a great date, and stay safe."
After saying 'goodbye' to his mother and slamming the door behind him, Storm took off into the air and flew downhill through the city towards the southwest, dodging and flying between buildings of varying heights and sizes. His wings still hurt somewhat after yesterday, but to say that he felt a sense of freedom in flight would be an understatement.
In fact, he felt freer than he ever did on the ground.
That, and the Cloudsdale skyline looked absolutely stunning, with the towering Cloud Bank Plaza, the city's tallest building at 87 stories, being a major highlight amidst the slightly smaller buildings which surrounded it. On the way to Blue's house, he decided that there was still time to do something else; buy her some flowers at a local flower shop which his mom used to frequent.
Storm landed just across the street from the flower shop, which was located seven blocks from Blue's house. He stretched his wings, which were still painful at the joints, but not as much as before. The flower shop was called 'ROSE'S FLOWERS', and had the words 'CLOSING INDEFINITELY IN TWO WEEKS' hastily scribbled beneath the name; there were numerous posters lining the storefront also, advertising a “clearance sale” and discounts of up to eighty percent on all stock. Storm sighed sadly knowing how much his mom liked to visit the store, although he had no idea what could possibly have possessed his mother to fly halfway across town just to get flowers, before coming back to his senses and remembering that he had extremely limited time, so he trotted across the street and into the store.
Storm gasped, noticing who sat behind the counter; Summer Blossom. He glared in her direction, before turning away from her. "I had no idea you worked here."
"Hi Storm," she said, waving at him. Storm, however, didn't reply and instead walked off to look for some flowers for Blue. She sighed, before saying something. "Still angry about me dumping you, huh?"
However, Storm didn't reply and continued looking for flowers.
"Look Storm," she began. "I'm sorry for what happened that night, honest."
"That's easy for you to say," he halfheartedly smirked in response, happening upon the rose section of the store. Would Blue like this? he asked himself.
"Storm, I swear to God I'm sorry," Summer sighed, glancing down at her cash register in shame before unlocking the tray and sliding a five-bit bill into the cash compartment. "I don't know how I can make it up to you in any way, but just please trust me on this. Me and Hurricane...well, it's complicated."
"I've long moved on from that night, Summer," Storm replied, picking up some roses with his hoof. "I'm still somewhat pissed that you chose him over me, but that's in the past now."
"Storm...," her eyes glistened with tears as he approached the counter. "Yes, I did end up cheating on you that night...and I've learned my lesson since then. I was just young and dumb back then, all I really cared about was having fun and living life to the fullest...I didn't want to commit to anypony back then, but I'm not that same pony anymore."
"Are you guys still dating?" Storm asked out of curiosity, setting the roses down on the counter that separated them; Summer then taped the lower stems of the flowers together and wrapped them in plastic, before passing the finished bouquet in his direction.
"We are," Summer nodded in response. "As I said, I'm not the same pony that I was in freshman year. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I've always liked Hurricane...and still do...even while I was dating you."
"Well then, why'd you go out with me at all that night?" Storm quivered, his ears pinning down. "I mean, I was under the impression that you genuinely liked me. If you’d have told me that you wanted to be friends instead I’d have been fine with that."
"Like I said before, I was just reckless and immature back then," Summer responded with a sigh, her heart shattering as the memories of that night and what she did to admittedly one of the nicest ponies she knew returned to her with a vengeance. "Let's be fair here, I didn't know the meaning of the word 'commitment' back then...but I've matured a lot over the last year or so. Please Storm, just give me a chance. I'm sorry for what happened that night between us, I just hope that we can make amends and be friends."
"Bullshit," Storm groaned, removing his wallet from his jacket pocket and setting it down on the counter next to the bouquet. "You and Hurricane both hate me, I know it. What makes you think that I'll believe you all of a sudden?"
"Storm, I'm sorry for picking on you in flight class, okay? I'm not that kind of pony, I swear," Summer replied, seemingly on the verge of breaking down — at least from Storm's point of view. "I was only doing it to stand out and that's about it. I've never held any grudges against you or anything...In fact, all I wanted since that night then was to set things straight."
"I'd imagine it worked in that case," Storm quipped, knowing how unpopular he was amongst the students at his high school, before glancing down at his watch. "I'd just like to pay for my flowers now."
"You...don't have to forgive me if you don't want to, I can live with that," Summer sighed, glancing down at the price list she had for individual flowers before inputting some values into the cash register. The price of the whole bouquet appeared on the display after a few moments. "Just know that for everything I did I'm sorry."
"Whatever you say, Summer," Storm sighed, feeling horrible himself all of a sudden for denying her apologies. “Whatever you say.”
“Storm,” Summer quivered. “You know...you’re the only customer we’ve had thus far today.”
“I am?” he raised an eyebrow, turning to look out of the storefront at the new flower store across the street. “It’s that place, isn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Summer nodded in fervent disapproval. “We’ve lost most of our client base to that goddamn store over these past few months, that...and our rent has skyrocketed. If nothing changes in the coming weeks we’re going to have to set up shop somewhere else.”
"I'm sorry...," he lowered his head. "I really wish there was something I could do to help."
"It doesn’t matter," she sighed. "What matters is that we're still running... but I don't exactly know how long we'll be running for. As for me...well, I’ve applied to a bunch of different places around town, including a SaveMart in my neighborhood, but I’ve yet to receive any sort of response.”
"Wow," replied Storm. "I just hope everything goes well for you, Summer."
"Thanks, Storm. That'll be $6.50," she replied, opening the cash tray. "Lemme guess, these are for your marefriend?"
"Yeah,” he replied, passing her a ten-bit bill.
"I hope she treats you better than I ever did," she sighed, sliding it into the cash compartment and taking out his change. "Have a nice day."
"You too, Summer," he replied, making his way towards the exit with the bouquet.
“Hey, you forgot your change.”
“Keep it,” Storm smiled. “It’s the least I can do to help out.”
“Are you sure?” a sudden smile pursed Summer’s lips. "I mean..."
“Positive,” he smirked in response, opening the door and stepping out of the shop.
Sometime later, Storm landed in front of Blue's house, which towered ominously before him. Rather reluctantly, he rang the doorbell and begun to pace up and down the pathway leading to the front door, nervous about whether this date was going to work out or not. A moment or two later, Solar Blast opened the door.
"Yeah?" he asked, before turning to look at Storm. "Hi Stormfire. Can I help you?"
"Yes sir..." he stuttered. "I'm, uh, here to pick up Blue."
"Pick up?" Solar raised his eyebrows, before a glare formed on his face. "Pick up?!You're here to pick up my little filly?! Who the hay do you think you are, huh?! Just because you get flight lessons here every weekend doesn't mean you're good enough for her, you little shit!"
"Sorry, sir..." replied Storm, slowly backing away from the door.
"Dad, leave Storm alone!" shouted a voice from inside the house, which belonged to Blue. "Look, me and him are just going to go to the pizza restaurant. That's pretty much it! I can assure you that he is a gentlepony like no other and he won't cause me any harm."
"Sorry, honey-pie." he grinned awkwardly.
"It's okay." she shouted. "Storm can come inside if he wants. I'll be one moment!"
"Get inside, now." growled Solar Blast, motioning for Storm to go into the house. Without any hesitation, Storm walked into the house and stood at the foot of the stairs, waiting for Blue to come down. A moment later, she walked down the stairs, and Storm gasped. She looked absolutely beautiful, in fact, she looked more beautiful than she looked before. She was wearing a long, cyan-colored dress and her mane was tied up into a bun.
"You should see the look on your face, Stormy..." she chuckled, nuzzling him. "How are you?"
"I'm alright..." he replied, not taking his eyes off the beauty before him. "You look stunning."
"Thank you, Storm." she said. "And I must admit, you do look handsome in that shirt."
"Thanks Blue." he grinned, before outstretching his hoof. "So, shall we be off then? We don't want to be late or anything, right?"
"Right." she replied, taking his hoof. Storm turned to look into the living room, where Solar was looking back at him with disapproving eyes that gave him the chills. Blue noticed this and nuzzled against Storm, which made him feel better. "Don't worry about my dad. He may seem intimidating on the outside, but he's a big softy on the inside. You just need to get to know him better."
"Right." he replied. "Bye, Mr. Solar, sir..."
"Remember, if you do anything to my little filly, ANYTHING that harms her, ANYTHING that puts her in ANY danger and ANYTHING that she doesn't like or want you to do... I will personally kill you." Solar growled, sending chills down both Storm's and Blue's spines. "You hear?"
"Yes sir..." Storm quivered.
"Good." replied Solar, before turning to look at a clock hanging on the wall in the living room. "She must be back home by nine o'clock."
"Yes sir..." replied Storm, shivering slightly. "I'll look after her. You have my word..."
"Good." he said coldly. "Have a nice evening, baby."
"Thanks daddy..." replied Blue, still rather shaken by what Solar said to Storm. "See you later..."
Twenty minutes later...
By this time, Storm and Blue had reached the pizza restaurant, Cloud Pizza Co., which was on the ground floor of an apartment building in the downtown part of the city, between a music store and a computer repair shop. They sat down at a table close to the window, and waited for a waiter to come over and take their orders.
"So, uh..." begun Storm, picking up the menu. "What pizza are you having, Blue?"
"Hmm..." she begun. "Haywai'ian?"
"Haywai'ian it is." Storm grinned. "I love Haywai'ian. What about you?"
"Yep." Blue replied. "Haywai'ian is so juicy. Ever been to Haywaii, Storm?"
"Nope." he said. "I've really been hoping to go though. I heard it's absolutely amazing there, especially at this time of year. What about you, Blue?"
"Yep." she replied. "We were flying from the Gryphon lands one summer and there was a cyclone over the Poncific, which meant we had to land in Haywaii and stay there until the storm had passed."
"Fun fact: I'm from the Gryphon lands." he grinned.
"You are?" Blue gasped. "I never would have guessed."
"Yep. My mom and dad used to live there..." he explained. "And I still have friends over there too."
"You know, I'm not from around here myself." Blue explained. "I'm actually from a coastal Mareami suburb."
"Really?" Storm gasped.
"Yep." Blue smiled. "We moved here when both my parents were transferred by the weather factory over there. I'd love to go back myself one day, but if there's one thing I'd really love to do is to go to Prance or Germaneigh. I haven't been beyond Equestria's borders for a couple of years now, and I'd love to go to Europone one day."
"Who knows, maybe you will one day," said Storm, putting his hoof on her hoof. "Did anypony ever tell you how pretty you are?"
"Not really..." she replied, blushing slightly. "Thanks, Storm."
"Whoever doesn't think that you're pretty is crazy." explained Storm. "I don't think I've ever met a mare like you, Blue. You're not just pretty; you're sweet, you're kind, you're patient..."
"Aw..." she blushed fiercely. "I can only say the same thing about you, Storm. Thank you."
"You're welcome." he smiled.
Just then, the waiter, a small, tan Pegasus pony with a black mane and mustache, came over to their table, carrying a notepad.
"What can I get you?" he asked.
"Uh, a large Haywai'ian-style pizza." explained Storm.
"What kind of crust?" the waiter asked, writing the order down on his notepad.
"Blue?"
"Uh, thin crust please." she replied.
"Thin crust it is..." the waiter replied, writing down the type of crust on his notepad, before closing it. "It'll be ready in twenty minutes." And with that, he left their table for the kitchen.
"Blue?" asked Storm.
"Yeah?"
"I got you something," he replied, unfolding his wing to reveal the bouquet of roses hidden beneath it, somehow not damaged by the wing. "I don't know if you like roses or not..."
"Storm, I love roses..." she smiled. "But you shouldn't have."
"No, no." he replied, placing the roses in a jug of water, which stood in the middle of the table. "It's from me to you."
"Storm..." she begun. "Why are you doing this?"
"I just want to be a good coltfriend..." he replied. "And I really don't want to lose you like I lost my last marefriend."
"You already are, silly." she said, smiling warmly at him. "I don't think I ever met a stallion like you, Storm."
"Well, I don't think I ever met a mare like you, Blue." he chuckled. "Blue?"
"Yeah?" she asked.
"I love---" he begun, but they were interrupted by the waiter, carrying a large and freshly-baked Haywai'ian pizza in his hooves.
"Here you go." the waiter said, placing the pizza between them. "That'll be 10 bits."
...you... Storm thought to himself, before giving the waiter some coins. The waiter smiled, before going back into the kitchen and leaving Storm and Blue alone.
After eating pizza, Storm and Blue left the pizza place and headed back towards her home. However, Storm had proposed to take a different path than they took on the way to the pizza place. They both left the downtown part and made their way through some of the suburbs, before entering a large, hilly park, just a couple of blocks away from Blue's house.
"I just wanted to say 'thank you', Storm." begun Blue. "For everything. For the dinner date, for the roses, and most importantly, for being my coltfriend."
"Hey, that's what I'm here for." he said, nuzzling her mane. "You can always count on me."
"And you can always count on me as well." she giggled as they walked up a rather tall hill. "Storm?"
"Yeah?" he asked.
"My music exam is next week..." she explained. "Do you want to come see me play?"
"Absolutely." he smiled. "Your playing is incredible."
"Thank you, Storm." she returned the smile, before nuzzling him gently. "Maybe I can teach you how to play the piano."
"Me?" he chuckled. "Oh, no no no no. I'm horrible."
"I think we can change that." she smiled slyly. "Do you play an instrument?"
"No..." he replied. "Would the drum kit in music class count?"
"Well, do you want to learn?" she asked.
"Maybe." he replied. "Like I said, I'm not that good at any instrument..."
"Remember what you told me?" she replied. "About believing in myself?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, the same thing applies to you." she said. "If you want to learn how to play an instrument, there should be nothing stopping you, Stormy, because I believe in you."
"Thanks, babe." he smiled at her.
A moment or two later, they both made it up the hill, which overlooked downtown Cloudsdale.
"Wow..." gasped Storm, looking at the metropolis before them, which illuminated the evening sky with some much-needed light.
"It's quite a sight, isn't it?" Blue chuckled, leaning slightly against him.
"Yep." he smiled. "Our city is the best city in Equestria."
"It sure is..." she replied.
"Blue?" asked Storm.
"Yeah?"
"I love---"
Just then, a white streak of light zoomed thousands of feet above them, followed by more streaks of light crossing the skies at high speeds. Storm and Blue both looked above in amazement as the evening sky became filled with these streaks of light, which all rushed towards a distant mountain range. They had just witnessed a meteor shower.
"This is beautiful..." she gasped, tears rolling out of her eyes.
"I agree." said Storm, nuzzling her gently. "Blue?"
"Yeah, Stormy?"
"I love you." he said, expecting to be rejected. However, she turned to give him a tearful, yet happy smile.
"I love you too, Stormy." she said, and before they both knew it, they found themselves facing each other and leaning in for a kiss. A second later, they kissed and time for Storm seemed to slow down dramatically. They were lost in their own little world and kissed deeply and lovingly for a minute or so. "We need to do this again sometime." said Blue.
"What do you say next week?" asked Storm. "After your music exam? I have a little surprise for you."
"I'd love that." she smiled. "Thank you, Storm. For everything."
"My pleasure." he returned the smile, before turning to look at his watch, which showed that the time was 8:45 PM, which meant that they had less than fifteen minutes to get back to Blue's house. "Your dad's going to kill me... we better go."
"Alright." she smiled.
"How about... we fly there?" he proposed, outstretching his wings. Even though his wings were still sort of sunburned, he felt little to no pain in them.
"I don't know, Stormy..." replied Blue. "I'm horrible at flying."
"No you're not, Blue." he said. "You need to believe in yourself."
"You think I'm going to fly well?" she asked.
"Absolutely." he said. "Hold my hoof."
"Alright..." replied Blue. They both ran down the path which lead down the hill and through the park, and after Storm begun to flap his wings, Blue begun to flap hers as well. A moment or two later, they took off into the air and found themselves flying over West Cloudsdale.
"Storm, this is incredible..." she replied, taking in the view. "Thank you for everything."
"You're absolutely welcome." he smiled, before turning to look at a row of homes below them. "We're home, babe."
"Ugh, where is she?" said Solar, pacing back and forth through the living room.
"Relax, honey." said Star, who was reading a magazine on the couch. "Blue'll be here any second now."
"She should be here by nine. It's 8:58." replied Solar. "If she's here any later than nine, I'll find that Stormfire kid and I will bucking throttle him."
"Easy now." glared Star. "Storm's perfect for Blue, Solar."
"Bullshit." he growled. "He's not suitable for her. He never was and he never will be."
"Don't you see, Solar?" asked Star, putting down her magazine and standing beside her husband. "They're happy together, and if they're happy together, that's the way they should stay."
"But what if he'll do something to Blue?" fretted Solar.
"Don't fret, So---" replied Star, before being cut off by the sound of the door opening. A minute or two later, Blue and Storm stepped into the house. "Hey sweetie. How was your date?"
"It was incredible, mom." she replied, nuzzling against Storm.
"Uh-uh." begun Solar, coming over to Blue and Storm, and physically moving them to opposite sides of the corridor. "There will be no nuzzling or any other stuff like that. Anyways, did you get to see the meteor shower, baby?"
"Yeah." she replied, rather awkwardly. "It was cool..."
Solar then turned to look at Blue, with a glare on his face.
"You better have been looking after Blue properly..." he growled, much to the shock of Blue and Star.
"Dad, he's been looking after me ever since I first met him!" shouted Blue. "Why are you so overprotective of me all of a sudden?"
"Sweetie, please. I'll handle him myself." Solar reprimanded her, before yet again, turning to glare at Storm. "You better treat her with respect everyday you see her, alright?"
"Yes sir." he replied, backing away towards the stairs.
"Good." replied Solar, with a satisfied grin on his face. "Go home, Storm."
"Yes sir." replied Storm, and headed out of the front door. "Bye Mrs. Star, ma'am."
"Good night!" she smiled.
"Good night, Blue." he said, waving to her.
"Storm, wait!" she said, trotting out after him. "I don't know what's gotten into my dad lately, but he's nothing to be scared of. Like I said, he may seem mean and threatening on the outside, but inside, he's the sweetest, kindest pony you'll ever meet. All you need to do is just get to know him better."
"Alright..." he sighed. "I'll try and get to know him better, babe."
"Alright then." she smiled. "Good night, Storm. See you soon."
"Bye Blue." he replied, kissing her on the cheek. "Good night." he said, before flying away home back to North Cloudsdale.

Great job, but with the way Solar is acting, I say either his wife or his daughter is going to have to yell some sense into him.
5667545 They sure will
Also, a new character will make an appearance in Chapter 11 and he'll be just as overprotective as Solar Blast is, maybe even more.
Halfway!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
IT WAS JUST GETTING GOOD!!!! I DEMAND MOAR MY GOOD SIR!!!! 
5667624 Don't worry, dude. The story may turn out longer than I expect it to be. It all depends on whether I come up with ideas for more chapters than I have planned right now.
I'm in agreement with SageBrony07 as to what's causing Solar to act so aggressively toward Storm for wanting to take his daughter on a date. Also, its good to see Summer and Stormfire reconciling with each other as friends too.
5667690 You'll find out what's causing his behavior towards Storm in the next chapter.
5667751 Also, a completely new character will appear in Chapter 11, and he'll be just as overprotective of Blue as Solar is.
5667754 Even though Blue confessed that she's hardly had any friends before Stormfire came into her life?
5667631
GREAT!!! Can't wait for it!!!
5667869 Spoiler alert: He's a close relative of hers.
5667890
