I hope you guys enjoy the story. I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been busy. Its going to be hard to update in the next few weeks, so just be mindful about that.

The bell rang, signaling the end of seventh period. I met Fluer outside of the classroom.

"Guess what?!" I exclaimed, jumping up and down.

"What Cadence?" Fluer asked.

"Okay, okay," I said, taking a breather.

"Just cut to the chase, Cadence."

"I'm going out with Shining Armor tonight!" I blurted.

The hallway was dead silent. I realized I had just blurted that to the whole hall! Fluer and I raced out of there.

When we arrived at the castle, Aunt Celestia took me into her study.

"Cadence, tomorrow you will be going to the ball with Prince Blueblood," she informed me.

I stared at her with disgust. "I do not like Blueblood!"

"That does not matter. You are going with him! Am I clear?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Tonight at 7:00, be prepared to meet him at the cafe. Now leave."
I left the room. Then I remembered: I already had a date with Shining Armor at the same place!

I went to my room and collapsed on my bed.

"What-" Fluer started.

"I have to go out with Prince Blueblood or Shining Armor!" I exclaimed.

Fluer managed to calm me down and helped me prepare for my date.

By the time she was done, I was in a plain baby blue dress with golden hoofshoes, the tiniest bit of makeup, and my mane tied back in a ponytail.

"You look stunning!" Fluer gushed.

"Thanks!"

Together we walked into the darkening city of Canterlot. We arrived at the cafe in less than five minutes.

I spotted Shining Armor. He seemed to have caught my eye, too, because he came up to guide me to our table.

"How are you?" he asked.

"Good."

A fancily dressed stallion came up to us and gave us menus. He came back in about five minutes to take our orders.

After we ordered, a stallion with a white coat and a golden mane with a compass star cutie mark came to our table.

I knew immediately who it was. Prince Blueblood. I groaned.

"Cadence, would you come with me to our table for our date?" Blueblood asked, frowning at Shining Armor.

Shining Armor gave me a puzzled look that turned hurt. "Do you think this is a joke?!"

Blueblood tried to lift me out of my seat so that he could escort me to a different table.

"Go!" I exclaimed.

Blueblood was about to say something when our waiter came to our table. He set down our food.

I batted my eyelashes. "I will give you kisses if you go."

Blueblood looked dazed, a derpy smile on his face. He left.

I rolled my eyes, then turned back to Shining Armor. I gazed into his eyes.

Startled, he started eating. As did I.

When we were done with our meals, we gazed into each others eyes.

"Lets go for a stroll in the woods," Shining Armor suggested.

We walked out the back door. We were in the forest, a lovely place. Soon we reached a clearing.

"It's a beautiful night," Shining Armor said.

I nodded in agreement.

"Uh… Cadence?" he asked.

"Yes?"

"Will you be my very special somepony?!"

I was startled. I didn't know what to do. "Yes!"

He rubbed his chin nervously as I leaned in. Our lips were close. He soon sealed the gap.

I felt the warmth of his lips against mine. I never wanted to let go. He pulled away. We both had derpy grins.

"That was nice."

I nodded, kissing him again.

I walked him back to his house. Before I left, I gave him a peck on the cheek.

I walked back to the castle, the happiest mare in the world.

When I reached the castle, though, I was in for a surprise.

"Cadence, may I speak with you?" Celestia asked.

Yeah, I'm really bad at mushy stuff. I'm sorry. But I really hope you guys like this and give me your feedback.
