Note from the Author: I will say this chapter is just a bit suggestive, nothing too 'sexual' if I say so myself. Just some stealing.

"Holy crap!" screamed Rian. He had company over, and that so-called 'company' busted into the room as soon as the door opened.

Unlike what he wanted before, he decided to let Twilight take a look at the Starswirl collection, "remember, no touching." Starswirl still had some secrets in the room. So Rian kept a close eye on her.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! So much Starswirl the Bearded stuff!" Twilight started fan-girling."And you said your uncle collected this stuff? He must have been rich to get all of this stuff." She walked up to a glass case, "Is this Starswirl's wand, the one he used for more powerful magic?"

"My uncle told me that the wand was just for show, besides, this is a replica."

Right next to it, "Is his hat!?"

"It's handmade. My uncle looked at thousands of pictures to make it."

"I have one very similar, do you know how close this is to the real thing?"

"I don't, besides, yours is probably made much better. This one is practically falling apart."

Twilight turned and saw a book, "Ah!" she screamed running up to it. She studied it carefully then began to open it.

Rian ran up to it, and shut it. "I said no touching."

"But it looks so real, I wanna see what kind of spells are in it!"

"It's blank, just the cover."

"Show me."

Rian ran his finger through the edge of the book, finding a blank page just in case this had happened. "See blank," he said opening the book.

"Alright fine, but-"

"Yeah... No. That's it for you. You've seen enough of the collection. Not to mention, I gotta get ready."

"Ready for what?"

"Stuff, leave."

"Fine," she pouted, walking out of the house.

Closing the door, he sighed. He went to his room and looked at the clock, "Oh crap," he muttered. He doesn't like to use magic for personal gain too often, or as a reflex. Recently, however, he has been using a lot more, and now was one of them. He focused, as he clothing brightened, then as the glow disappeared, a dress-suit appeared.

He left the house, and walked off down the street.

"Tell me something," Rian said to the person sitting across from him.

"Yeah?" she responded.

"What is a sports addict like you, doing in a fancy restaurant in a dress?"

"Oh shut up, be glad I let you take me here," Rainbow had responded with. "You practically broke my heart telling me that thing was just a story."

"Well it was, and let me take you here? That's not how I remember it."

"This is how I remember it."

XXXX

"Rainbow, I swear I didn't mean to break your heart or anything," sobbed Rian, "Please, go out with me once, let me make it up to you." Rian was on his knees in front of Rainbow.

"I-I can't, you telling me that it was just a story after I thought you asked me out... Is just too painful." Rainbow was turned with her hands to her chest.

"Please," Rian stood up, grabbed her hands with his, "one chance, is all I ask for. I'll give up anything just to be with you..."

Rainbow nodded slightly, biting her bottom lip, "Alright, fine, one date."

XXXX

Rian laughed, "That's how you remember it?"

"Yup."

"Trust me, that's no where near the truth."

"Then what is the 'truth'?"

"This is the truth of the matter."

XXXX

"Rainbow," he said running after. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her around, "Rainbow, what the hell happened? All I said was that it was a story."

"I know, that's why. I thought you were asking me out, which seemed like the best thing to me, then when you told me it was just a story, I knew you didn't ask me out."

"Is that what this is about? Rainbow, after the first day we met I wouldn't mind dating you. The fire and wax stain spell I did, at first was an accident. Merely after a minute it wasn't, I would have meant it for the world to know if I could."

Rainbow looked up, the bottom of her magenta eyes with teardrops streaming down. "S-So... Will you go out with me then."

Rian smiled, "Of course I would."

XXXX

"That's impossible," said Rainbow.

"That's how it happened. I have a great memory."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"What happened the first day we met?"

"I came late to school, you commented about it, we started talking. Magic came up, I mentioned my uncle homeschooling me. You ask me my major, I say dark-ish as in shadow spells, you tell me to do a spell so I make fun of it with shadow puppets, then make our shadows disappear. Then you tell me fire is your major-"

"Alright, alright, I believe you. And fine, I'll admit, I did ask you out. Just please, don't do that thing to me again."

"You stole the notebook and read it."

"Nope," she said with a smile, both of them playing around now. "Anyway, during this date, I wanted to ask you a favor."

"What is it?" Rian started thinking of a shadow spell. Rainbow's shadow slowly started rising from the ground.

"I'm having a party less than a week from now."

"Birthday?"

"Yeah," the shadow slowly started moving her dress 'skirt' portion up. So slowly, she didn't feel it. "I wanted you to come. I want you to show people your magic skills."

"Really? You mean disappearing shadows, and fire trails?"

"It's better than what I can do... Also, I wanted you to come as..." she blushed, "my date."

"You're date huh?"

"Yeah, everybody is bringing a date, be it relative or not. I just wanna know that I'll actually have somebody that I can love and not go to jail for wanting to marry my brother."

They both laughed. In this manner, the shadow grabbed her garments. Though it was a bit tricky, the shadow got them off. Rainbow was having too much fun to noticed this. "Alright," Rian said nodding, "I'll be your date. If..."

"If?"

"If..." the shadow handed him the panties as it faded, "you can notice what's different."

"What do you mean."

"Since you arrived, and right now, something change. What is it?" He put them in his pocket.

"Um...?" She looked down at the shadow, "Is it the shadow?"

"Maybe."

"Is it a yes or a no?"

"No, not really."

"Then what?"

"We'll have to get back to my house first."

"Well, we have to eat first."

"Fine with me."

XXXX

"I'm still not going till you tell me what changed," Rian said inviting Rainbow inside.

"You still haven't told me. You said you'd tell me when we got here."

"My room first."

"Your room?"

"Don't worry," Rian walked to his room, Rainbow following behind.

Walking in, she sat on the bed while he closed the door. "Closing the door?"

"I don't like my door open."

"So, what changed from me arriving at the restaurant to here?"

"Second base."

"Second base?"

"Let me explain. Some people who don't know of magic, will still believe magic is real, knowing it is just an illusion."

"Your point?"

"What if I told you, that I'm a 'magician' to normal people."

"Really?"

"Well, some magician's are thieves. What if I said I was that kind of magician?"

"Get to the point already."

"I stole second base."

"What second base are you talking about?"

Rian put his hands in his pockets. "Let me ask you a question, did I touch you at all today?"

"...No...? Which was kinda strange, I figured you would try to kiss me, but you didn't try to hold my hand."

"You wanna know what I mean by 'stealing second base'?"

"You've said that thirteen times now, yes, I do."

He removed his hands from his pockets, throwing her panties at her. Catching them, "What the...?" looking at them, she saw that they were hers. Slightly blushing her hands fell to her lap, feeling that they were the ones she was wearing. Her blush went as deep as it could possibly get. "H-How did you..."

"Magic," he said grinning slightly.

Dropping her garments, she stood up quickly, punching his arm as hard as she could, "Ow!" he said before he thrown onto the bed.

Rainbow grabbed him and gave him another dead arm on the same one, hurting that much more. Even though she was angry at him, she loved his secret boldness. She didn't question why he had it secretive, and showed shyness most of the time. Hitting his other arm, she immediately kissed him, leaving him dazed and confused. He didn't miss a beat when he kissed back.

When it broke, Rainbow said, "You may be able to get those, but that's all you're gonna get from me in at least a month or two. That's only if you prove yourself to me."

"So, what, you saying I can keep them?"

"Exactly what I just said." She got up from on top of him, "I'm going home to get changed. I'll be back tomorrow to find out more secrets about you, because you must have used a spell to get those." Rainbow left the house.

Rian got off the bed to close his bedroom door once more. Falling back onto his bed, he sighed. He grabbed Rainbow's underwear and looked at the balled up fabric, quickly throwing it to the corner. "There was no reason for it," he thought out loud, "I just did it just to do it. I'm not like every other boy who looks for nothing but sex with cute girls. I got to second base, kinda, just to get it, no other reason. Maybe if I was like other guys then I'd have a true reason, but none. Just to try it, and even test my spells."

He sighed once more from giving his monologue to the empty void he called his room. He got up and started changing into his PJs, not forgetting about taking out his contacts.
