Chapter 24-The Double Date

Me: I don't have to explain this chapter, do I? I think the title says it all.

Tid: I like where this is going.

Me: I know you do. I don't own the rights to Naruto Shippuden or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

That day I woke up with a headache. "Something annoying is going to happen today, I can tell already." I said. I got out of bed and got dressed. I walked outside and I did my ritual. I sighed. "It seems I'm in a rut." I said to myself. "It only seems like that because you do the same thing every morning, what with your ritual and all." Someone said. I looked around for the source and found that it belonged to Rarity. "Oh, hey Rarity." I said. She came over and sat next to me. "Mind if I keep you company?" She asked. "Sure." I said. "I've been thinking about something." She said. "What's that?" I asked. "We should really visit Canterlot." She said. "Huh? Canterlot, what for?" I asked. She shrugged. "I just want to go there for some reason. Besides, it might be fun, getting to spend a little quality time with someone I know." She said. "Alright, I see what you're getting at. Sure, let's go." I said. I stood up. "You mean, right now?" She asked. I nodded. "Why not?" I asked her. She shrugged.

We used Rarity's magic to teleport to Canterlot. We walked forward, looking at all of the shops and things in Canterlot. It was then that I realized just how fancy Canterlot is. There were ponies dressed in tuxedos and elegant dresses just for the hell of it. There were shops that sold fancy suits for outrageous prices (well, to me anyway). We walked past a shop and turned a corner to see Vinyl and Robert in a cafe. I looked at her. "Wanna have a bit of a double date?" I asked her. "Of course! That would be excellent!" She said. We walked into the cafe walked over to Robert and Vinyl's table. "Hey, you two on a date, eh?" I asked. Vinyl blushed. "No, that's not it." She said. "Say, Vinyl, you look different, somehow. I can't really put my finger on it." I said jokingly. "What do you mean? I look perfectly natural. I haven't changed at all." She said, facing forward. "You went into the other dimension, didn't you?" Rarity asked. Vinyl sat up straight. "How did you know that?" She asked pointing a finger at Rarity. "Hey, you watch where your pointing your fingers, lady." I said. "It's fine dear." Rarity said, placing her hoof on my shoulder. "Hey you can't tell Vinyl what to do!" Robert said. "Don't use that tone with me!" I said. "Wanna make something of it?" He asked, standing up. "Both of you stop!" Rarity and Vinyl said at the same time. I sighed. Rarity and I sat down at the table and ordered two coffees. "So, what have you two been up to?" Rarity asked Vinyl. She blushed. "Not much." She said. "That's a lie." Rarity said smiling. "Well what about you two huh?" She asked. "Oh, we just started dating." Rarity said. Robert nearly did a spit-take. "What? You two are going out?" He asked. I nodded. "Since when?" "A few days ago." I said. "Well, good for you then." He said. I nodded and wrapped my arm around Rarity. "So, what are you two doing here?" Vinyl asked. "We're here on our first 'official' date." I said putting air-quotes around official. "What, you guys have an unofficial date or something?" Vinyl asked. Rarity nodded. "It was the night when we had confessed our love for each other. We were in the park, under the full moon. We were about to kiss, but Tid couldn't." She said. I blushed. "Hey, there's no need to tell them that part." I said quietly to Rarity. "It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's not your fault you get those flashbacks." She said in the same tone. My face turned even more red. "Aw, is someone getting embarrassed?" Robert said. "Shut up." I said. "Hey, no need to get irritable." He said. I turned to Vinyl. "Have any embarrassing stories about Robert?" I asked her. "Yes! You see, there was this one time where-" She began. Robert tried to hush her but failed. When she had finished Robert was even more red than I had been. Rarity and I couldn't stop laughing. We kept telling each other embarrassing stories for a few hours. Suddenly, Robert took a small box out of his pocket, he got down on one knee, and said this: "Vinyl, will you marry me?" She gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Yes, yes I will." She replied. The ponies in the cafe all started clapping their hooves. "Hey, congratulations man." I said to Robert, patting him on the back. "Thanks." He said.

After a while Rarity and I decided to leave. "Well, didn't expect that." I said. She remained silent. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "Do you think we'll eventually get married?" She asked. I stopped. "Of course I do, however, we just started dating. It would be far too early to consider marriage." I said. She nodded. "You're right. I'm sorry." She said. I put my hand on her shoulder. "It's fine. I promise, I won't die until we are married. Understand?" I asked. She nodded. "Alright. Come on, let's go home." I said. She used her magic to teleport us back to her house. I hugged her goodnight and left for my house. "Marriage, huh? Not something I would like to think about right now." I said to myself on the walk back. Just then a swirl of smoke appeared. "Why do I always take this way home from her house?" I asked myself as Discord appeared. "Hello!" He said. "What do you want Rat Face?" I asked. "Well, that was rude. I just wanted to give you more advice." He said. "Don't bother, I don't want it." I said. "Oh but you will. Are you entirely sure you want to marry her? I mean, you've got so much to worry about, are you sure a marriage is the right thing to do?" He asked. "It's not like I'm marrying her tomorrow." I said. "That's true, but still. What if you can't keep your promise? She would resent you forever." He said. Would she? I asked myself. I slapped myself in the face. Of course she wouldn't, she would never resent me. "I have to go." I said walking past him. He reappeared in front of me. "Seems you don't know her as well as you thought." He said. "I told you to spare me the breath. I don't want to listen to your lies." I said. "Seems like you never learn, do you?" He asked. I ignited my hand and tried to punch him. He teleported away from the punch. "Ooh, someone's got a temper." He said. "Go to Hell." I said. He sighed. "Alright, I'll leave you alone if that's what you want. However, there will come a day when you will want to have heeded my advice." He said. With that, he teleported away. "That's it, next time, I'm taking a different way home." I said.
