GunHeliXmon: Hey everypony, it's me, your old pal GunHeliXmon, I know it's been a while since I've updated any of my stories, but I've been busy with Christmas with my family and school, but I'm trying to go as fast as I can, it doesn't help matters that I have been having writer's block and would appreciate any help and ideas you can provide. Anywho, this is chapter 2 of Apples and Black Flames, *Squeals excitedly* whoops, guess I got a little excited there. But wouldn't you? In this chapter we will be seeing how the preparations for Z and AJ's first date go!
Z: Do you really have to do this?
GunHeliXmon: YES!
Z: Fine.
Tobi: Hi everypony! My name is Tobi Zetsu Uchiha, and I'm GunHeliXmon's assistant/OC, and I will be popping up in all of his fanfics, both in the skits, and as a character! Oh, and here's my pet turtle George, say hello George.
George: ~Yawn~
Tobi: Ain't he just the cutest wittle toitle you ever did saw?
Pinkie Pie: Hi guys!
Tobi: *Blushes, turning a slight pink* H-h-hi, P-p-p-pinkie P-pie.
Pinkie: I need to go to Sugarcube Corners, we should probably get the place ready for when Z and AJ go there for dessert tonight, anypony want to help?
Tobi: ME!
Pinkie: Great! And if you help out really well, I'll give you a month's supply of chocolate chip cookies, and we could probably hang out some time, and-Gummy-and-George-can-play-together-and-we'll-sing-songs-and-laugh-and-dance-and-just-have-such-a-great-time-that-maybe-you'll-ask-me-on-a-date-just-like-with-Z-and-AJ!
Tobi: What was that last part?
Pinkie: NOTHING! ~Squeee~ *Blushes* (~Phew~ He didn't catch it)
GunHeliXmon: Anywho, let's get on with the disclaimer!
Pinkie: GunHeliXmon in no way owns My Little Pony Friendship is Magic or Digimon, if he did, this story and his other Digimon story would probably have been aired, and everypony would be able to see the awesomeness of the love between Z and AJ, HeliX-aka GunHeliXmon-and Fluttershy,-and me and Tobi-wobi!
Tobi: What was that last part?! *Blushes so hard he was as pink as Pinkie*
Pinkie: NOTHING! *Blushes to the point she's as red as Big Mac*
HeliX: Okay, well, on with the show! If you want to just play the MLP:FIM theme song before reading, and picture the video however you want with the characters from this story.
Chapter 2: Get Ready Ponyville, Preparations for the Big Date Start Now! Part 1
[Z's POV]
Oh god, somebody, I mean somepony-I'll never get used to that-kill me now! I have to deal with Rarity's rambling on and on about how I'm a prince, and that I have to dress proper, do this do that, don't do this don't do that, it's driving me insane! I don't care about how royalty is supposed to dress and act! All I care about is getting through this date with AJ without embarrassing myself.
Speaking of AJ, I looked to my right to see how well she's dealing with this, she seemed to be dealing with it well, I mean, she has lived in Ponyville dealing with Rarity's fashion nonsense far longer than me, but even she seems at her wit's end with how fancy the dress Rarity is making for her, it was so fluffy, it looked like a thousand-year-old dragon could use it as a pillow, and my tux is no better!
It's tighter than the ally I had to slip through just to catch a snake-a giant snake mind you-who was terrorizing a city! And there were so many actual silver buttons and buckles that I would probably look like a star if I tried to fly at night, I have had enough of this, I'm going to put my foot, er, hoof down!
But I was stopped when AJ said.
[AJ's POV]
"Ah've had enough! Rarity, Z doesn't care that he's royalty, or that he's Princess Celestia's son for that matter, she did leave him, HeliX, and Twilight out in Equestria to hide them from anypony who would want to use their powers for evil, namely Tirek, although, that did end up happening anyway. But what Ah'm trying to say is, please try to hold back on the whole royal fashion thing, please, for me."
"Oh alright Applejack, I'll try to keep them nice yet simple, for my friend. Although, I am very excited that you're going to be dating a prince! I'm so proud of you, I'm sure if your parents were here, they'd be proud of you too. After all, it isn't every day that a prince actually falls in love with a farm mare. Now is it?"
"It sure isn't, and Ah'm happy. Ya'know, I just realized somethin'."
"And what would that be dahling?"
"Remember when Prince Blueblood came to Ponyville?"
"Oh yes, that was a positively dreadful day!"
"Ah know, but what Ah realized is that when Prince Blueblood said that he fell in love with me, Z got so steamin' mad that he actually had steam comin' outta his ears, and he looked like he was ready to give Prince Blueblood a literal royal beatdown!"
"Ha ha ha! I do remember that! He must have been so jealous!"
"Hmph, I still don't understand how that gut is supposed to be my freakin' cousin, he was a total loser, and a dumb one at that."
"Oh cheer up Z, at least you didn't have to worry about him, there was no way Ah was going to be with him when Ah was already in love with you, plus we're together now, what could be better than that?"
Ah couldn't quite hear what he said after that, but it sounded somethin' like "Getting married and having kids," Ah chuckled and then looked to see that while we were talkin' Rarity had somehow finished our knew outfits, and Ah have to admit, they were perty darn good!
[Z's POV]
AJ was wearing a lovely blue and green dress with little apple shaped stitches along the skirt, she had a beautiful red apple hairclip that help her ponytail together, a new hat with a green hatband that matches her eyes with an apple clip.
My outfit consisted of a silver tuxedo that was actually good-looking yet still somewhat simple, it had black trim, black flames on the back, and a little pocket that had my cutie mark, the Crest of Kindness with a background of black flam, stitched into it, plus I had a nice pair of black rim shades with silver lenses, leaving my eyes visible, while allowing me to still look cool.
I kind of wonder how the human version of me is doing now that he is at Canterlot High with Bacon-Hair and the human versions of Mom, Aunt Luna, Twilight, HeliX and Tobi, AJ, Dashie, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy.
[Normal POV]
In the other world, a pale-skinned (I'm going to have the human versions of the characters look a little more like people than they did in the Equestria Girls movies, changing their skin tones, while keeping their hair and eye colors, to more human skin tones, besides the skin tone of Big Mac, his skin tone made him look like a normal human) teenaged boy with silver hair, a black hoodie, and all black sunglasses that hid his orange eyes sneezed.
"You okay Z?" asked a tan-skinned girl wearing a familiar Stetson, she had blonde hair in a braided ponytail, green eyes, wore a white t-shirt, jorts (jean shorts), and a pair of brown cowgirl boots.
"Yeah, I'm okay AJ." He responded with a smile.
"Okay, let's get to the tree and watch the sunset with everyone else."
"Sure thing AJ."
And with that they continued on to meet their friends at their favorite tree to watch the sunset after another great day at school, all while holding hands.
[Z's POV]
"Well thanks Rarity, we'll take these outfits home while we finish getting ready for our date tonight."
"Oh, you never did tell us were you will be taking AJ on a date to, or what you will be doing."
"Sorry Rarity, that's a secret, AJ will find out tonight, and you and everypony else who will not be at the restaurant, where we will walk, or at Sugarcube Corners, will find out afterwards."
"Well, I guess I'll just have to round up the gang and we'll follow you, just to see what's going to happen."
"Well if you're going to do that you'll have to get in line, my family, AJ's family, the CMC's, Dashie, and Spike, who'll have to go since Twilight is going, are already going to spy on us, Tobi and Pinkie won't help because their helping Mr. and Mrs. Cake get Sugarcube Corners ready for when we go there for dessert, and Fluttershy doesn't want to butt into our business, otherwise she would go since HeliX is going, but she has her animals to take care of, and everypony else who's going to spy on us will be going in separate groups or alone. So unless you round up the Gossip Club or something, you're going to be spying on us alone. unless you run down to Twilight's castle and ask Spike if he'd go with you, which he will because in case you haven't noticed, he's had a crush, no wait, it's not a crush, I asked Cadence and she told me it was true, but he's head over heels in love with you! It's been that way ever since we came to Ponyville! So before you go snooping into somepony else's love life, you should probably get to know your "little Spikey-Wikey" a little better, because there a lot of things you don't know about him, he just might surprise you. I will not sit here and let you go around going gaga over every prince or rich boy you see while my nephew just sits there waiting for you to notice him, because if you keep doing what you've been doing, you're going to tear his heart to pieces and he's going to start taking things again, just like he did on his birthday, and he's going to give into his greed, because of the anger, hatred, and betrayal you put into his heart, and there's going to be no stopping him, the Spike we all, well almost all, know and love will be gone and dead, and in his place will be a ferocious, pony-eating dragon, who, as the reincarnations of the three original dragons, my siblings and I will have to kill! Do you want that to happen Rarity? Think about what I just said. Let's go AJ."
"Right behind ya."
[Rarity's POV]
Is it true, does Spike really love me? I guess that makes sense, with the way he acts around me, the way he always tries to come to my rescue, how he always tries to help however he can. Oh my, I think I love Spike too!
HeliX: How will this turn out? Find out in the next chapter of Apples and Black Flames.
Z: Rarity needed to see the truth.
AJ: Yeah, but ya didn't have to make her see the truth that way. Did ya?
Z: Yes. And I meant every word of what I said, about everypony spying on us, and about what would happen if she didn't realize her true feelings for Spike. Thanks for helping figure that out Cadence, all though it's a little early for you and Shiny to be spying on us already.
Cadence: How did you know we were hear?
Z: I'm the son of two of the most powerful beings in Equestria, plus I can sense emotions, so, no biggie.
Cadence: *Just stares at him blankly.*
HeliX: Okie dokie, this is GunHeliXmon signing off, bye.
