Chapter 10
Twilight Sparkle and Dave had almost made it to Sugar cube corner.
"You better hurry," Twilight joked. "You afraid for the date?"
"No..." Dave replied. "But this technically isn't a date."
Twilight let out a fake cough, pretending she hadn't heard what he had said.
The two made it to Sugar cube corner, but to their shock, the lights were out, and there was nobody inside.
"Where is everybody?" asked Dave.
Twilight shrugged. "I don't know."
"HI GUYS!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "WHAT'S UP?!
Dave and Twilight looked at Pinkie. "What happened to the resturant?"
Pinkie giggled. "Oh, I closed it early so you guys would have it to yourself. Come on in!"
Dave shrugged and walked towards the resturant with Twilight.
Inside, Pinkie Pie had set up a table for the two of them.
"Here you go!" she giggled, handing both of them menus.
Dave looked at the menu. There were sandwitches, salad, and spagetti?
Dave looked over to Twilight. "What are you getting?"
Twilight giggled. "I don't know. You?"
Dave looked over the items. "The spagetti looks good."
Twilight smiled. "I've actully never had that before. What is it like?
"Well...tomatoes and pasta...I love it."
Twilight set down her menu. "I guess sometimes you have to try something new."
Pinkie Pie suddenly rose up from the table next to them.
"Are you ready to order?"
Twilight and Dave looked at each other.
"Yep."
"Okay, what'll you be having?" Pinkie asked.
"Spagetti." both answered.
"Okay! Pinkie shouted, bouncing into the kitchen. "Hold on!"
In a few seconds, she re-emerged with water, and two random male unicorn ponies with mustaches and bowler hats.
"Um...Pinkie?" asked Dave. "What's going on?"
"Well, don't you want some singers to sing you some romantic music?" Pinkie asked, giving the two water cups.
"No..." Twilight replied, looking nervously at Dave.
"LITTLE RED CORVETTE!" one of the singer ponies yelled, looking at the lines he had.
"How the hell do you know who Prince is?" asked Dave, snatching the lines away. He suddenly realized they were from his backpack's AP music notes.
"Pinkie!"
Pinkie ignored him however, and continued to cook spagetti.
The other singer suddenly used his magic to copy all of the lyrics down onto a blank sheet of paper, and the two continued singing.
"Little red corvette!" they shouted, not quite as loud.
"Baby you're much to fast; Little red corvette! You need a love that's gonna last!
Guess I should have closed my eyes, when ya drove me to the place where your horses run freeeeeeeeeeee! But I felt a little in, but I saw all the pictures of the jockeys that were livin' for meeeeeeeee! But living or not, I started to worry, if I had enough class. But it was saturday night, I guess that makes it all right, when you say, baaaaaaby, have ya got enough gas?! Oh yeaaa!
Little red corvette! Baby, you're much to fast, yes you are; Little red corvette! Need to find a love that's gonna last!"
Twilight and Dave looked at each other. While it had been a little awkward, their singing was impressive, so the pair gave them a round of applause.
"Where are the rest of my songs?" asked Dave.
The taller unicorn sighed, and handed him a huge folder full of notes.
Dave sat it under his chair. "Very impressive, but, can you please not watch us? It's awkward..."
Twilight was surprised at the nervousness in his voice. "You don't like being watched by random people-ponies?"
Dave shook his head. "I don't like being around a lot of random people in general," he atmitted. "Especially in tight spaces."
Twilight grinned. "Are you claustrophobic?"
Dave nodded.
Twilight leaned over to him. "It's okay, I won't make fun of you. I'm sort of scared of-"
"Quesadillas." Dave replied. "Don't think I don't know stuff about you. I'm a brony. I watch everything you do!" he joked, chuckling.
Suddenly Pinkie returned, with the spagetti. "Here you go!" she shouted, handing the two of them a giant plate of spagetti.
"Um...Pinkie, why is there only one plate?" Dave asked.
"Duh, that's for both of you! This is a date after all. It's a good thing you both ordered the same thing, you don't want to know what happened when this one couple ordered pizza and ice cream!"
Dave was about to object, but Twilight used her magic to put a little bit in his mouth. "Uh...Twlight?"
Twilight didn't respond at first, she took a bite herself, and smiled back.
"What, it's not the end of the world." Twilight said. "I don't have a contagious disese."
Dave let out a sigh, but continued eating. The two of them managed to eat down to the last strand. Pinkie Pie tied it togather, hoping that the cliche spagetti kiss moment would happen.
She let out a sigh when Dave stopped an inch from Twilight's lip, and turned to face her.
"Oh come on!" she shouted. "You two almost kissed!"
Dave rolled his eyes, but he didn't feel angry. After a dessert of ice cream cones, which to Dave's relief they didn't have to share, the two left. They were on the way out when they saw Dave's gituar lying on the floor.
"Pinkie!" Twilight shouted, picking it up. Pinkie had left, however. Spike had left it in there as a prank, but before his intent had been finished, the two had come out.
Dave picked it up and groaned. "Whatever."
"Sorry," Twilight said, putting her hoof on his side.
Dave looked at the sky. The day wasn't over yet, and he had a good friend with him, why not do something he'd always wanted to do with a friend.
"Hey Twilight, do you want to try my gituar?"
Twilight's eyes lit up with excitment at Dave's offer. The two sat down on a bench.
"What do I do first?"
"Well," Dave said, holding her hoof to the gituar, causing her to blush slightly. "First you put your hand-er-hoof up to the strings, and you play the strings in a selected order."
Twilight grinned, and tried it a few times for a little while.
Dave was impressed by how well Twilight was doing for a beginner.
"You're great," he complimented, getting her to smile even more.
"Thanks," she said. She suddenly moved her head onto Dave's lap and let out a relaxed sigh.
Dave blushed at the alicorn's affectionate nature. "Uh Twi?"
"Yes?" she asked softly, her purple eyes glittering more spectacularilly then any gem in the universe.
Dave's mind froze. You can do this. Tell her that you like her. Hug her. Kiss her. You can do this!
"I lik-never mind." he said, biting his lip.
Idiot. You almost did it.
Twilight wasn't fooled, however.
"What were you going to say?"
Dave sighed. Maybe he could get her a little more comfortable, and then tell her. "C-can I stroke your mane? It's so...pretty."
Twilight grinned at him, and nodded.
Dave started stroking her mane, feeling how smooth it was. Holy crap, she's hot.
Twilight let out a sigh. "I had fun on our date. D-do you have a problem with me calling it that?
Dave couldn't stay quiet any longer. "Twilight, I can't stay quiet any longer. I-I like you..."
Twilight gave a gentle smile.
"I know Dave. Do you think I can't put two and two togather?"
Dave sighed. "I know that. But...I was curious. Do you think...maybe I could be your plus one for the grand galloping gala?"
Twilight smiled. "Really?!"
Dave nodded. "Really."
Twilight finally gave him her reply. "I wouldn't go with anyone else for the world."
The two smiled, and Twilight got off Dave's lap and stood up to him, their lips were only a few inches apart. But before they kissed, they heard a sneeze.
Twilight whipped her head around, and saw Spike and Starlight Glimmer.
"Uh...hi?"
"Were you spying on us?" Dave asked, standing up to face them.
"Umm...we just wanted to see if you two were going to kiss." Starlight admitted shamefully, looking at the ground in embarrassment.
Twilight and Dave looked at each other.
"Oh..." Dave said, nervously. "I didn't know if..."
But before he could reply, Twilight pressed her muzzle against his face to kiss him.
"Woah!" Spike said, not expecting what had happened. "You're kissing him!"
Dave's head was spining with excitment as Twilight broke away from the kiss.
"Twilight..." he began, not sure how to go on.
But Twilight pressed her hoof up to Dave's lips.
"It's okay," she said, stroking his cheek. "You don't have to say anything." Suddenly, they heard a laugh from a little ways off.
Dave was jolted back to reality as he too, heard the laugh.
"Who was that?" Twilight asked him.
