Thank you guys so much for reading my story! Sorry Scot Cuba, for taking so long to answer your question, I wanted to think about it for a little while. I decided that, since this world doesn't have magic, it wouldn't make sense to have dragons. So I've elected to keep Spike as a dog. But more on that later.

-Pinkie Pie's Chat-

I skipped out of the lunch room, Twilight following right behind me, probably looking a little embarrassed from my outburst. I couldn't help myself, I wanted to go to her dance with her and I wanted her to know it! It seemed like a good enough time as any to ask her. So, why was she worried? Why was everyone freaking out?

"Pinkie Pie…" Twilight spoke softly from behind me, gently placing a hand on my shoulder. I spin on my heels and smile at her. She sure did look pretty today, even if she looked kind of mad at me.

"Yes Twilight?" I ask, rocking back and forth on the balls of my feet, anxious to hear her answer. It was going to be a yes, but why couldn't she have said yes in there, where everyone else was? It seems stupid to leave so early when we had such a great lunch to eat. And Twilight was anything but stupid.

"Why did you ask me to go to the dance with you?" She asked, rubbing her arms uncomfortably and looking away from my eyes. It was annoying when her eyes looked at the floor. They lost their shine that way. And shiny eyes are the best eyes. Unless they're cry-y shiny eyes, then they're just sad eyes, and that makes me sad. I grab Twilight's shoulders and giggle happily, getting her attention back on me.

"Because silly!" I explain slowly to her "I want to go with you to your dance!"

"But why? You know I like Flash Sentry-"

"Has he asked you to the dance yet?" I ask, quirking my head.

"Well no, but-"

"But Twilight! There's less than a week until the dance! That means that if he doesn't ask you in a week, then you won't have a date! And if you don't have a date, then you might not go! An' if you don't go, then we won't all be together! An' that means we won't have as much fun! An' then, an' then-!" Twilight puts a hand over my mouth and pushes me into one of the doors lining the hallway.

"Did you hear that, Pinkie? We almost got caught!" Twilight hissed through tight teeth.

"So what?" I respond in my normal tone of voice, shrugging nonchalantly. "Who cares who saw us or what we were talking about?"

"But Pinkie, if anyone heard us talking, they might think that we're…" it was dark in the room, but I could swear that Twilight was blushing as she tried to think of a term for it.

"Gay?" I offer, shrugging the word off without care. It was just a word.

"Pinkie!" She hissed, this was starting to get funny, "Would you keep it down? I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea!"

I roll my eyes and huff "Twilight, nobody cares at this school but you!" I say, frowning slightly.

"That's not true Pinkie Pie, it just hasn't come up yet. Can you think of anyone who is a lesbian at this school?"

"Sure" I say with a shrug and eye roll "Rarity. Easy peasy."

"What?" Twilight says, drooping slightly at the news "I didn't realize…"

"Recently it's really started to act up, I think the dance has her on edge. But I'm sure she's got it under control!"

"How did you know she was…?"

"Pinkie Sense!" I exclaim, jumping into the air and pumping my fist.

"Shh!"

"Sorry!" I whisper, blushing slightly as I crouch back down. If Twilight was reacting this badly to Rarity, imagine if I told her about Flutter Shy! Who-wee!

"So," I ask, inching in closer to Twilight and leaning into her "Did you think about the dance?" I ask, gently nudging her side with my elbow, just to get my point across.

Twilight sighed and rubbed her eyes with clenched fists. Usually she only did that when she was behind on studying for tests or a big project was due next period. "I… suppose… if Flash Sentry doesn't ask me over the weekend…"

"You'll go to the dance with me!" I shout excitedly, swooping her up in a tight hug to let her know how happy I am she's even considering it. After all,
