Chapter 13: Date Night
Hey everyone I'm back and I know many of you asked what I had planned for Luke in the Friendship Games and I have a hint of what I have planned for him for the event. I hope you like it. Please Review and Enjoy.
At Luke's house, Luke was pacing around nervously in his room trying to figure out what to for his date with Sunset tonight.
"Oh man what was I thinking? What do I say? What the heck do I do?" Luke asks freaking out.
Nearby Burpy and Will were enjoying his reaction as Burpy chirps.
"Yep, just like Eli when he finally asked out Trixie." Will smirks when Burpy chirps again pointing to him. "What? I did not act that way." But Burpy rolls his eyes saying he didn't believe that.
"What's going on?" April asks walking down the hall.
"Our grandson is having first date jitters." Will said.
"Alright, you two aren't gonna be much help in this department." April said as she pushed them away and walks in. "Everything alright Luke?"
"Huh? Oh hey grandma. Listen now's not really a good time." Luke said.
"Luke it's fine to be nervous. But seriously? I thought your father and grandfather gave you tips on how to deal with girls." April smirks.
"Yeah, crazed fan girls. Not this." Luke said.
"Oh boy." April rolls her eyes and gestures for Luke to sit down next to her. "Listen Luke, I dealt with your father when he was in the exact same situation with your mother and I'm gonna tell you the same advice I told him. Just be yourself and have fun. Also take some deep breaths you look like you're about to pass out."
Luke pauses to breathe for a few minutes before he eventually calmed down. "Thanks grandma."
"You're welcome Luke, now go have some fun, but be back my midnight." April said.
"Alright." Luke nods as he grabbed his wallet and walks out of the room.
"See boys, that's how it's done." April smirks crossing her hands.
Burpy looks to Will who merely shrugs. "She's the love of my life but she loves to brag."
At the mall, Luke was sitting by the fountain waiting for Sunset.
"Uh hey Luke." Luke looks up to see Sunset wearing her leather jacket, a blue blouse, and jeans.
"Wow." Luke said thinking she looked amazing.
"Sorry was this a little too much? I mean I've never worn anything like this before." Sunset said nervously.
"N-No I-I mean you look great, really." Luke said.
"Oh, thank you." Sunset blushes. "So where are we going first?"
"Well I thought we could have some fun." Luke said.
Soon Luke and Sunset were in a game of Laser Tag shooting the opposing team.
"This is the best!" Sunset cheered as she blasted a member on the opposing team. "I didn't think this would be so fun."
"Compared to shooting a slug this must be pretty easy." Luke smirks blasting someone who tried coming up behind him.
"What the? How did you?" He asks.
"You're not very quiet." Luke said turning around.
"Well you two are out of luck because Ryan's on our team." He said before running off.
Looking around they saw members of their team getting blasted out of the game.
Looking around they noticed a boy with brown skin and teal hair standing on a platform blasting their teammates away with ease. This was Ryan.
"Whoa, that guy's good." Sunset said impressed.
"We can take him." Luke said.
Making their way towards him Ryan looks at the scoreboard to see that the three of them were the only ones left in the game.
He aims down when he notices the Shane logo on Luke's jacket and his eyes widen for a second. "No way." Ryan said before snapping out of it.
Firing at them Sunset and Luke run behind a wall to avoid his blasts.
"Well Slinger any ideas?" Sunset asks.
"I got one." Luke said leaning in and whispers causing her to grin.
"Smart." Sunset said as she got up. "If this works victory sodas are on me."
"You're on." Luke said as she ran out one direction and started firing at Ryan. Jumping down he retaliates but he didn't notice Luke climbing up the platform and just as he was about to blast Sunset his armor beeps signifying, he lost.
"What the?" Turning around Ryan saw Luke standing behind him. "How did you?"
"Sorry better luck next time." Luke said.
"Blue team wins." The PA voice said.
After the game, Luke and Sunset were laughing as the waiter brought over their food and sodas.
"That was awesome. How did you know that would work?" Sunset asks.
"My Mom used that trick on my Uncle Kord, by having my Uncle Pronto run out she blasted him easily while he was distracted." Luke said.
"So, tell me a little bit about Slugterra. What was it like living there?" Sunset asks.
"Well for starters there were slugs in every cavern, long days for relaxing in grass, clear waters in the deepest oceans, each one had something amazing in it that made them special." Luke said.
"Sounds amazing." Sunset said.
"I bet you have some pretty amazing stuff back in Equestria." Luke said.
"Well the capital city of Canterlot was where I spent most of my time but let me tell you the city was so full of life and every pony was so happy." Sunset said.
"Sounds magical." Luke said.
"It really was, makes me wonder why I even left in the first place." Sunset frowns.
"Well I'm glad you came here." Luke said causing her to smile.
"Thanks Luke, I'm really glad you came here too." Sunset said as she briefly moves her hand and touches Luke's surprising him at first, but when he looks into Sunset's beautiful eyes he couldn't help but get lost in them.
Meanwhile Ryan walks back to his house and opens the door.
"Mom, I'm home." Ryan calls out when an Arachnet Slug came out of the umbrella stand and hops on his shoulder. "Hey buddy, you know where Mom is?"
The slug points down to the basement where Ryan walks down to see a woman working on some sort of invention. She had brown skin and pink hair, this was Dana Por, Ryan's mom.
"Hey Ryan, what's up?" Dana asks.
"I saw the logo you told me about on someone, it was the Shane Logo." Ryan said causing her to stop working.
Getting up she walks over to a trunk and opens it to reveal an orb shaped device that resembled the Shadow Clan. This was the Shadow Walker.
"Never thought I would hear that name again…after so long." Dana said.
Ryan walks back up and looks over to the hook where a Crystal Prep jacket hung on the wall and two purple wrist blasters.
"Things just got interesting." Ryan said.
