Endless enjoy the last year in canterlot. He had a nice routine. He would get up in the morning and head down stair for breakfast. Then Luna would come over and they walk to Gem Stones house. From there they head to school. Miss Sparkles would be waiting at the door as always. She learn how smart he was. She had started to give him the higher grade books. This was good. some of the work was harder. And it made him work harder. He sit at his desk working in these books until Lunch. Then him Luna, and Gem stone would eat outside on the stump table. Unless it was Raining. Then they eat at they desk. After lunch he, Luna, and the other Pegasus would play a game were you pass a ball around and throw it through a hoops on the end of a sticks. he was no good at this he was still bad at flying but was getting better thanks to Luna lesson.

After school he, Luna and Gem stone would walk to the large field the farmer still hadn’t farmed. they Play there until it start to get dark they make they ways home. After they leave Gem Stones house. he and Luna would walk home. Luna never ask him about his family or his burns like Gem Stone and the other at school. he told them he didn’t want to talk about it yet. They talk about thing that happen in town or people Luna met in her family travels. After they made it home he would go in and have dinner with Doctor Hooves. Then he head to upside and read his father spells books until he was tier and head to bed.

Endless wake up to the Doc knocking on the door. Like most morning. he got up and look outside. It was a light rain. he thought of Acorn. She love the rain and would be hoping for rain puddle. Her family work the lumber mill. he Smile as he remember the red and yellow Pegasus as she one ran into the apple tree by the school a week ago. Her red main got stuck on a branches. He remember Lilly and Buttercup running to her. Buttercup try to use magic to pull her out. Then a large amount of leaves fell out of the tree and fell on top of her. They match her. As she poke her head out of leaves. Then Acorn fell on top of both Lilly and Buttercup. he giggle as he remember the Teachers trying to get the girl to stop yelling at each others.

She was coming over and they were going to the shops for her sister. he had been in canterlot for a little more then a year now. He smile. It was almost his birthday. He hardly been to the shops. Other then the one time when he went to Gem Stone family shop and they try to talk him into a main cut. He ran out before they got to him. he rub his main. It was getting long. He headed down the stair.

“ What for breakfast?” he ash as he enter the kitchen.

“OAT MEAL.” Hooves said with a big smile on his face.

“Why are you so happy?” he ask sitting down and took a drink of water.

“I got a date with Miss Sparkles.” he spit the water he was drinking out over the table.

“MY TEACHER?!?” He said in shock.

“Calm down Endless. It not that odd. We’ve been friends for years and I finally ask her out and she said yes.” He said wiping up his mess. There was a knock at the door. Doctor hooves when to answer as he started to eat. The thought of the doctor date made Endless wonder. What one does on date? Luna enter the kitchen.

“Ready to go? I got a full list of stuff to get.” he jump down and walk over to her.

“Ya. Ready to go. When do we head first?” he ask as Doctor Hooves came dancing in. He grab Endless bowl and drop it in the sink. Normal he complain about this.

“What with him?” Luna ask as Doctor hooves started to sing to himself.

“He got a date with miss Sparkles. Whatever that means.” He whisper to her. Luna giggle. he stood there clueless about what he said to made her laugh.

“ What so funny?” he ask as Luna start to brush into laughter. She pointed at Doctor hooves. He was making kisses faces at the broom he was dancing with. he try to hold in the laughter. He started to laugh as hard as Luna. They Left laughing as they headed down the street.

They stop just before they reach the bakery. There was a big window with the word. Pie Bakery. They enter the shop. This was his first time in the shop. He look around. There were loafs of bread on most of the sheaves. Cake behind the counter and cookies in baskets on the counter. It smell sweet like apples. A pink earth pony with a brown main. He had a cake and cookies as his cutis mark. He had a little white hat on his head. He turn to face them as Luna rang the bell.

“Good morning Mr. Pie.”

“LUNA my favorite costumer. What can I do you for?”

“I’ll be right back.” Gem stone said as she went to the back room. Two white Unicorn Enter the room.

“I can see that. but we be happy to give you a trim. Free of cost. Just to get it out of your eyes.”

“aaah come on Endless. You needed a hair cut since I met you.” Gemstone said winking to Luna.

“You could use a hair cut.” she said as Wilma stone was brushing and cutting the end if her main.

“Ok then. But not to much.” he said giving up.

“Gem honey would you give him a trim?” Clay Ash. Gem Stone face went to beyond joy. he sat in the free chair. She got her cutis mark as scirror, her parents are both Barbers, what the worst that could happen? he thought as he watch her float a pair of scirror over his head. Endless close his eyes as he hear the clipping. A few minute later Endless hear her stop.

“And done.” she said as she put the scirror down. he open his eyes. Luna and the other were standing in front of him. They mouths gasp open in shock.

“What? Did she cut it all off?” he said in panic. They shook they heads no.

“is it bad?” The shook they head no again.

“Well what wrong with it?” he said as Gem Stone jump down into his view. She floated a mirror in front of him. his jaw drop. She had cut it Just right. It was long and cover most of his burns. He flip it up and it set right back. He look over at Gem Stone.

“How did you?” he ask still in shock. She Smile, put the mirror down, then said.

“I have no idea. I close my eyes and It just happens.” his heart sank.

“Your joking. Right?” he said with a half a smile.

“She not Joking. I watch.” Luna said. his heart sank lower.

“You see I get this tingle on my back every time I use scirror. I close my eyes and when the tingling stop, I know I’m done.” she said with a smile.

“Endless don’t you have something you want to say to Gem Stone.” Hooves said. he thank her. After his hair cut. Doctor Hooves, Luna and him left. Doctor Hooves went his own way. he follow Luna as she lead him to one of the farms just outside town. After crossing one of the field. he finally ask.

“Were are we going?” Luna look back with a smile and a wink.

“Ok we’re here.” she said pulling the sheet out of Endless bag. She plate it over the stump.

“So what is here?” he ask looking around. Luna plate the basket of food on the Stump.

“This is were we’re having Lunch.” She said pulling food out and moving it around the stump table. He took a seat across from Luna. They ate as birds flutter around them. he watch as bees fly from Flower to Flower. They didn’t talk much as they ate.

Hiding in all sort of places. his favorite was the barrel him and Luna wag them self into. They finally stop on a bench in the town square. Endless and Luna hid in a bush right next to them.

“So did you have fun today?” Hooves ask. he guess he was looking at her. They couldn’t see them from the bush. Luna was rubbing her wing into his.

“Yes I had a Darling time. It was fun.” Miss Sparkles said.

He could see him and Miss Sparkle walking to her house. he watch as Miss Sparkle kiss the doctor on the cheek. Wait I thought the doc was on a date. He thought. Is that how dates end.
