“Dude they’re here! Put that away. I’ll get the door!” I shoved a old board game to his chest, and proceeded to the door. I just noticed that the beds weren’t done. I used my magic to open the door, and redo the beds.

“Hey Vinyl. Hey Octavia!” I said with a giant smile. They noticed my magic doing all the work around the dorm.

“O hey Frost. Is it alright if I call you that?” Vinyl looked AMAZING. Even though ponies don’t normally wear clothes, she still looked amazing.

“Hey Squirt!” Octavia said passing Vinyl and me and walking over to the love struck colt. Vinyl and I were locked in eye to eye contact. I studied her intensely. Her beautiful white fur coat. The magnificent dual blue coloured mane. And her lovely red eyes.

“You all right? Hellooooo.” She waved her hoof in front of me. I snapped back into reality.

“Ya I’m good. Soooo what do you wanna do?” I looked back at my friend. They as well were chatting away.

“Well. I thought we could maybe go out?” I stopped. A girl. Asked me out. WTF. But this was my only chance with Vinyl. I’ve made it this far, and I couldn’t let myself down.

“Were do you wanna go? We could do like a double date with Octavia and Squirt.

“That sounds like fun! What do you think Tavi?” Vinyl looked behind me at Octavia.

“What?” She asked. She and Squirt had been locked into a conversation of the best musician ever.

“A double date!” She said with glee. I saw Octavia sit there for a minute.

“Were are we going?” Everypony thought for a minute. The room went silent.

“I know! Let’s go to Tavi’s favourite place!” Vinyl loved her friends favourite restaurant.

“No. Vinyl remember what happened last time we went there?” Octavia was very embarrassed that time.

“Come on Tavi. Please. I now have a reason to be good. For my sweetheart Frost!” Vinyl next to Tavi begging.

“Fine. Let’s go to Poulain Plaisir. But if anything goes wrong we’re leaving.” Octavia sighed heavily.

“What’s that place? Is it fancy or something?” Squirt looked puzzled. I thought for a second. Then I remembered from French class.

“It’s Colt’s Delight in French.” I said. I remembered our teacher quizzing us everyday on French names.

“Sounds good. Were is it?” Squirt asked looking up at the map I had made on the wall.

“Downtown.” Vinyl was excited to go. I could tell.

“Ok let Vinyl and I get ready for the date.” Octavia took Vinyl and they went outside back to their room.

“What just happened?” Squirt was standing there. Blank eyed, and had no clue what just happened.

“Well. If I’m right two of the hottest mares just asked us out on a date to a five star restaurant. And to make it simple. We’re going on a date with the mares of our dreams!” It was insane. How could luck go this far. I knew something must go wrong at dinner. So my friend and I dressed up in our finest clothes. I wore a black suit with a white tie. On the other hand my friend wore a white suit with a black tie. We looked like agents. We combed our manes, and set off to the mares room.

“What room are they in?” Squirt asked me.

“I think Vinyl said 150.” I trailed my mind trying to remember.

“Dude! That’s like a few doors down from ours!” He looked at me. I shrugged. We reached their door. I nudged for him to open the door. He nudged me. I nudged him harder. But he nudged back. I drove my back hoof onto his. He yelped, and kicked me in the side. I then kicked him in the side. He responded with a hard shove that made me stumble. I rammed into his side sending him to the floor. I then tackled him. In the midst of it all the mares were at the door. They saw me about to bite my friends hoof. While he was bout to bite mine. I got up, and brushed my self off.

“Sorry.” I said apologetically.

“Ya sorry.” Squirt said.

“You two look like agents.” This is when I noticed Vinyl. She looked AMAZING. She wore her beautiful glasses, and a sparkling gown. On the other hand I saw Squirt looking at Octavia like I did. She wore a velvet dress, and a bow in her hair.

“You guys look amazing!” We both said.

“Thank you.” They walked by us.When they passed us I rammed Squirt into the wall. He responded by tackling me, and we once again began fighting. The mares gave us one look, and we were pulled apart.

“Ugh. We almost there yet?” Squirt asked.

“Just a few more minutes.” Octavia said looking back. I’ve never been this far downtown. So all of this was a first. I made notes of were everything was, and made sure I knew the safe places. Squirt on the other hand kept his eyes on Octavia’s backside. I just giggled. We reached the restaurant, and sat down to eat. The place looked incredibly fancy. It had candles on each table, and the tables themselves were a glorious type of wood. which I’m sure cost a fortune.

“May I take your order sir?” The waiters looked fancy and everything.

“I’ll have salmon.” I said. I knew every restaurant had salmon.

“We don’t have that sir.” He said. He never smiled. I could tell. He just gave a strait face.

“Umm. Can I have some tuna?” I didn’t like this as much, but it was still good.

“We don’t have that either.” I could tell he was mad. So I cheated. I peeked at Vinyl’s menu, and picked the first thing I could find. But the entire menu was in French so I didn’t have time to translate it. But I knew it was a mistake.

“Ok. And for you sir.” He looked at my friend. I knew he was gonna make a mistake. He said some sort of French thing that sounded like him saying poop.

“Ok. And for the Mrs.?” I looked at Vinyl.

“Both of us will have spaghetti.” Octavia quickly answered.

“ok. And that’s all?” He looked around. I was trying to hide my giggling, but it wasn’t working.

“Nope.” Squirt said. The waiter walked away. “Why are you laughing? Was it something I said?” Squirt asked.

“Your order dude. You made a bad mistake. You should have taken French.” I knew what he had ordered. It was bad.

“What? I didn’t know anything on that menu! Dude! Tell me!” I shook my head and told him to wait. Within about an hour the waiter came out with a pile of mush on a plate.

“Heh. Feel bad for the sucker who ordered that.” Squirt whispered to me. He then noticed a dead squid on it as well. “Heh. Whoever ordered that must be disgusting.” He was laughing. But it died as the waiter came near. He pulled up right to our table, and set out all of the plates. The plate with the squid landed on me, and the pile of mush. On squirt. We both looked in shock. Vinyl and Tavi looked at us and just smiled.

“Dude. I think we screwed up.” I said poking the squid with my hoof. It jiggled a little.

“What even is this? Dirt recolored, soaked in water, and barfed on?” I looked at his plate. It was a gray blob. He touched it. It smacked his hoof. He squeeled a bit.

“Come on boys. You said you had an empty stomach.” Vinyl was laughing. We should have ordered spaghetti. I picked up a piece of the squid. But I told Squirt to go first. He picked up a piece. He put it in his mouth at the same time I did. I could tell Squirt didn’t like his. He spit it out, and reached for his glass. He threw up in it. But for me. I fared much worse. At first it tasted great, but after that. It was gone. I passed out, and landed face first into my food. The last thing I remembered was Squirt yelling at the waiter asking him what this even was. And then being dragged home by Vinyl.

“Hey dude. Wake up!” I was shoved on the side by my friend. I opened my eyes.

“What happened last night?” I asked. It felt like I had a hangover. My eyes were heavy, and I was tired.

“You passed out. You fell face first into your food. We were kicked out of the restaurant after I yelled at the waiter. Vinyl dragged you home, and I put you in bed.

“Ugh. That squid was alive dude!” I said as I got ready for the day. Today was Friday. And this was Squirt’s easy day, and my hard day.

“You’re gonna be late for English dude!” I was now in a hurry. I had English first. Squirt had Wood-shop first. He was lucky. Today in class I fell asleep five times, and drooled all over my test. The teacher wasn’t happy at all. Squirt made a box in Wood-shop like I did.

Next hour I had was biochem. It sucked. I dissected a frog, and it reminded me to much of the squid. I threw up but kept it hidden inside the frog. Whoever was in next class was in for a surprise. Squirt had Social Studies next hour. He learned what I had already learned. Then we had A lunch. I felt like shit, and didn’t eat any of my lunch. The only good thing about A lunch is that all of my friends are there. So I told them how our “date” went. They just laughed. It made me laugh as well. I couldn’t help it.

Third hour I had Civics. and my friend had it as well. Civics was easy since all we do is go over what happens in the law. But last hour was INSANE. Squirt and I had science. We were paired up with the girls today. I went with VInyl, and Squirt went with Octavia.

“What happened? You passed out.” Vinyl looked a bit disappointed.

“I don’t know. Squid does something to me. And I just blacked out.” I asked her what happened after that. It sounded like a crazy night. I looked over and saw Squirt and Octavia still in love, but asking why he blew up at the waiter. At the end of class I was excited to have the weekend free. I walked into my dorm, and fell onto the bed. I fell into a deep sleep.
