Date Posted: 12/31/12

Personal Comments: Thanks to Cornholio4 for letting me use Morpho again. For those who don't know, Morpho is the son of Queen Chrysalis who becomes Twilight's coltfriend.

When I posted this, I had already written a different chapter about Morpho and Mac. And it was late at night. The words I used here may not have turned out as great as I had hoped.

Later on, it mentions a double date in which Fluttershy and Big Mac go out with Rainbow Dash and Soarin. For this date, I had imagined a bowling ally in Cloudsdale that they use the cloud-walking spell to get Mac into. I was maybe going to write up a chapter about that.

After getting their bowling horseshoes from a very nervous-looking clerk, Twilight and Morpho walked down the bowling ally to meet up with Fluttershy and Big Mac for their double date.

A few other ponies looked up from their games and stared for a moment at the changeling prince, but they both ignored them.

Morpho had been reluctant to come out here and meet Fluttershy's coltfriend. Knowing he was Applejack's brother did not help. But after a lot of insisting from Twilight, he finally gave in.

"Don't worry, Morpho," Twilight smiled at him. "This is gonna be fun! We're all gonna have a great time tonight!"

"I still don't think Big Mac's gonna like me," Morpho muttered.

"Don't think like that!" She nudged him. "I keep telling you, Mac's one of the least judgmental ponies I know. You guys are going to get along great, I know it!"

Finally, they came upon one ally. Sitting down at a row of seats were Fluttershy and a big red stallion. Both were chewing on a candy apple. Two more were resting on a tray.

"Hey Fluttershy, hey Big Mac," Twilight smiled.

They both looked up from their snacks and smiled.

"Oh, Hi Twilight. Hi Morpho," Fluttershy whispered, barely audible over the loud atmosphere of the ally. "We um- we got some candy apples here. I hope that's okay."

"Great! Yum!" Twilight smiled as she levitated one apple into her hoof and bit down. She levitated the other to Morpho who held it for a moment. He walked up to the red stallion.

"Hi there," Mac smiled. "You're Prince Metamorphosis the Second, huh?" He put his apple down and held out his hoof to shake.

"Yeah, but please call me Morpho," Morpho smiled as he shook Mac's hoof. The stallion had a very strong shake. "And you must be Big Macintosh."

"Eeyup. You can call me Big Mac, or just Mac. Whatever works for ya."

At last they released each other's hooves.

"Been lookin' forward to meetin' ya finally," Mac continued. "Applejack n' Fluttershy both told me a lot about ya already."

"Did they now?" Morpho smiled nervously.

"So you guys ready to get going?" Twilight asked. She was at the computer setting up the stats on the computer. "How do you wanna do teams? We can have couple versus couple? Boys versus girls? Free-for-all? What?"

"Um, what do you guys wanna do?" Fluttershy asked timidly.

"How 'bout it, Morpho?" Mac smiled. "You n' me against the girls?"

Morpho glanced at the girls, then back at Mac who was smiling at him.

"Alright, sure," Morpho nodded.

The next day, Twilight and Fluttershy ran into each other at the Ponyville market and stopped to chat for a moment.

"What is it, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"I just wanted to say thank you for introducing Morpho to Mac," Twilight replied with a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"I mean it. You don't know what it means to us; to him. He really needed a guy friend to hang out with and talk to."

"Oh, well when you put it that way, I know exactly what you mean. I mean I can only imagine what he's going through. In a strange land with strange ponies? Having such a hard time fitting in? If I were him, I'd be terrified! I'm sure having a good friend like Mac will be good for him."

"I'm sure it will," Twilight nodded happily.

"You know what's funny about it too?"

"What?"

"That bowling ally? It's where Mac and I went on our first double date with Rainbow Dash and Soarin!"

"Huh! What do ya know?"

They both got a good chuckle out of that. Fluttershy decided not to mention that after that date, and a few ciders, the four of them had gone back to her cottage to have some 'fun'. Come to think of it, why had that not happened to the four of them last night? Again, she decided not to dwell on it that much. No big deal, right?
