"Talk to her Flash!" Rainbow Dash grinned. She nudged him playfully, hoping to encourage him to approach Twilight who was sat eating her lunch in the cafeteria.
"But what if she says no?" Flash whimpered. "Then I'd have no chance whatsoever." He scratched his neck nervously, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Rainbow Dash laughed. "Just go!"
Flash looked down causing Rainbow to sigh. She looked up towards where Twilight was sat. "Twilight!" She called.
Twilight glanced up in response.
"Flash wants to talk to you!" Rainbow gave him a small shove towards Twilight as she hurried off to her own table.
Flash scowled before smiling at Twilight. He approached her with small steps, his face reddening a little.
"Hey Twi…" He began.
"Hey." She smiled.
"I've been wondering for a while now-." He didn't know how to phrase his words.
"Wondering about what?" Twilight questioned.
"I've been thinking about you." As soon as the words left his mouth, he blushed, but he was relieved to see Twilight's face also turning the same scarlet colour.
"G-get to the point Flash…" Twilight almost choked on her words.
"Would you like to hang some time?" Flash managed to blurt out his words before they were swallowed. "Just you and me. Maybe to watch a movie or anything you'd prefer."
"A-are you asking me out on a d-date?" Twilight asked nervously.
He nodded, this time without hesitation. Twilight took his hand and smiled warmly.
"I'd love to." She tilted her head slightly. "I'll see you outside the school at 4?"
Flash couldn't help, but form a grin. "It isn't soon enough. I'll see you then." The sound of the bell ringing echoed in his ears as he leapt up and scurried away to class.
Twilight stood up and giggled sheepishly.
"So…" Pinkie Pie giggled. "What's the news on you and Flash?"
"What?" Twilight frowned acting clueless. "What are you on about?"
The friends were walking down the corridor, clutching their bags and books tightly as Twilight was distracted thinking of Flash. They had caught her off guard.
"Oh don't play coy!" Rainbow smirked. "I encouraged Flash."
"And she told all of us." Apple Jack added. "We know he asked you out."
"Was he romantic?" Rarity sighed dreamily.
"N-not really…" Twilight blushed. "But we're meeting this afternoon."
"Ooh!" Rarity laughed. "Have fun Twilight."
Fluttershy smiled softly. "Make the most of it."
"You're all making me nervous!" She glanced down at her watch. "I'll see you all later, I need to catch up on some studying before my-" She blushed. "Date."
