The morning flew by today. Dash and I both co-op’d breakfast today and made one heck of a meal. We work well like that…..if you know what I mean. Stratus had another burst of flight today, one that let him fly around for 3 hours! Ugh, that was the longest yet, any longer and he might as well be flying like a pro! And he is only a week over 3 months old! ARGH! Ranting in my mind aside.

I told Dash that I was going to be helping Shadow with Fluttershy today, but will still be around. She told me to behave myself if I went out and I smiled at her. “Now you know I can’t promise you that Dashie, my brand of stupidity comes at random, you never know when you’ll get to see it” I said to her with a grin. I made it turn all philosophical! Where is my punch RD?

Rainbow Dash punched my shoulder with her hoof and stuck her tongue out at me. I took that as a challenge and went in and kissed her, which made her practically fall off the couch. Ha I made you almost fall off the couch, ten points for Gryffindor! I hate knowing all of these movie references! RD got up and looked at me and gave me a sly smile, she pounced on me and wrapped herself around my back, kind of like she was getting a piggy back ride.

Just then there was a knock at the door. I sat upright but Dash wouldn’t get off. “Dash, can I go get the door?”

“Who’s stopping you? You can move, and I am in a comfortable spot and now I don’t want to move” Rainbow Dash replied with a snicker that all but said ‘I beat you at your own game’.

HARUMPH fine, I’ll go answer the door like this! No skin off my toes! I got up and walked with Dash on my back over to the door and opened it. Shadow was standing there and when he looked at me with Dash still clinging to my back he started trying not to laugh. ARGH, this is so embarrassing RD….I will find a way to get you back for doing this to me! I tried to act like Rainbow Dash wasn’t there “Hey Shadow, are you ready to go?”

“Yeah, are you going to be bringing RD with you?” he said with a laugh. *sheds a man tear*

Rainbow Dash got off my back then and kissed me goodbye “Nope, you guys have fun. Kyle, I’ll talk to you later” she said before she went into the other room.

I walked outside and shut the door. “Sorry you had to see that. Now, did you want to go on a date with Fluttershy today?” I asked him with curiosity.

“Y-yeah, I wanted to ask her out today. I was thinking of going to get some lunch and then going to see a show or something” Shadow Breeze said to me in reply.

Wait, they have movies here? When did such sorcery happen and how come I never knew about it! “Ok, well then you can go to her house and get her and I will be around to check on how you’re doing. We can talk about how to act on the way” I said before I lifted up into the air.

“Y-you can fly!? How, you have no wings!” Shadow said as he flew up next to me.

Not the time or the place! “That is a story that you will hear later. Right now we have to head over to Fluttershy’s house and get her” I said before I took off towards the yellow mare’s cottage.

The beginning of the scenario went without a hitch! I taught him well, he was so nice and she practically fell over as to how sincere he was. I have a feeling they are going to end up like Dash and I. I was sitting at a table a little ways away from them. I had a menu and covered my face whenever Fluttershy looked over towards my table. I wasn’t really hungry but, that didn’t stop me from swiping a few dinner rolls off of a trey some waiter was taking to a table on the other side of the room. My pickpocketing skill advanced to 9001, that’s a c-c-c-combo breaker!

I stuffed one of the rolls in my mouth and looked at Shadow Breeze and Fluttershy. They were having a good time and I was getting pretty happy with the turnout so far. They look so sweet; they look like they could be an old married couple! Ugh, never mind….I don’t want to think about that!

After they finished their meals they left the restaurant. I got up and was walking towards the door, but was stopped by a waiter. He made me pay him 10 bits for the rolls I ate, what a rip-off. If I didn’t know any better I would shove this carrot right up your nose and tell you to take those 10 bits and shove it!

I left and proceeded to follow them to the theater. I was a while away so they couldn’t see me. When they went in after they paid for their tickets, I got mine shortly after them. I walked into the dark room and saw them sitting up near the front, so I took a seat near the back.

I will bet the carrot up that waiter’s nose that Shadow will try to do the old yawn trick. If he doesn’t I’ll shit bricks! The movie started a while later and what I didn’t know was that it was a mushy love story movie. I looked at the ticket stub and then proceeded to start gagging ‘Mare of Your Dreams’ was the name of this movie.

Shadow heard somepony from near the back of the theater yell out “HAH GAYYYYY!!!!” and he proceeded to snicker under his breath. The room full of ponies simultaneously ‘SHHHHH’d’ him and he could have sworn he heard “I’ll be good I swear!”.

I was slowly dozing off to the movie and pretty soon I was out cold from how boring it was. I was woken up by a mare poking me with a broom saying ‘get out, movies over’ and I left the room. I saw no sign of Shadow Breeze or Fluttershy anywhere so I decided to just head home.

When I made it there Shadow Breeze was sitting on the porch with Dash and Stratus. The welcoming committee is here! OH BOY, what will happen now? I walked up and took a seat next to Dash and Stratus. “Hey Shadow, how was your date with Fluttershy?” I asked trying to be nonchalant, it was a little effective.

“It went over really well. She said she would love to get together again sometime. Thanks Kyle, you helped me a lot over my short time being here, it means a lot to me” Shadow Breeze said with a smile.

I punched him in the shoulder “Stop going soft on me boy! I may only be like a year older than you, but don’t think of me as some old hermit that knows the workings of love and that stuff. I mean c’mon, were friends, that’s what we do!” I said before I facepalmed at what I just said before that. That had to be the most stupid saying yet! IDIOT!

“Kyle were you the one that yelled in the theater and stole the dinner rolls? I am just curious because it seems like something you would do” Shadow said to me with a laugh.

Stratus was interested in the conversation after that moment. He wanted to hear if dad really did yell in the movies or take dinner rolls from other ponies. It was going to be funny.

I did it! Send me away, I took the two dinner rolls, which for 10 bits was a complete rip, and I yelled in the movie theater! Send me to jail again! “Yes, the movie looked like a snooze fest and I guess something slipped out, and the rolls were just me being hungry.” I looked over to Dash “Pwease don’t punch me again”

“Oh you’re getting hit again, but that was pretty funny” she said before she hit my shoulder again. You’re gonna leave a bruise there if you keep doing that! Stratus laughed at me which only made it worse.

“Well, thank you all for being so nice to me and welcoming me into your town. I need to go home now and get some well-deserved z’s” Shadow said before getting up and walking down the street. We watched him go and then decided that we all could use some of that, so we went in and called it a night.
