Chapter 54 Dinner for Two

"Heeey Luna, what's up." HOW THE FUCK COULD I FORGET OUR DATE!

"You didn't forget about our date, did you?" She asks with a small laugh.

"No. Well, maybe a little, I thought there was going to be some warning to be honest." AW FUCK WHAT DO I DO, WHAT DO I DO? I NEED HELP!

"OK then." She says before she walks back inside of the closet and shuts the door behind her. Da fuck? "Miles," she calls from behind the door, "I'm about to arrive for our date." She calls out before she opens the door and walks back out and stands before me with a big smile. We both laugh a little at her goofiness as I walk up to her and kneel down to give her a hug. "You did forget, didn't you?"

"Yeah, sorry. I got caught up in the day to day stuff. Plus, with what happened to Storm..."

"What happened to Storm?" She asks as she breaks our hug and starts to head to the hall door.

"I'll tell you all about it at dinner, why don't you go down stairs and make yourself at home while I get things ready" I say as I open the door for her and usher her out. She gives me a smile and walks down stairs. As she's going I slowly make my way for the window in my room. Once I get to it, I flare my heels and jump out. The second I hit the ground I begin to run into the night like my life depended on it, using the magic in my heels to make me run at even higher speeds. I need help, I have no clue what to do. Who can I go to though? Storm's out of town and I can't ask one of the girls.... BIG MAC! I change direction and head straight for Sweet Apple Acres, arriving there in almost twenty seconds. I see Big Mac and Applejack walking up to the front door so I jump ahead of them and land with a loud THUD.

"I NEED YOUR HELP!" I yell as I grab Big Mac by the harness and run into the orchard, keeping the same speed as before. Once I feel safe knowing that no one will hear our conversation I stop and set him down.

"What in tarnations got..."

"OK SO I'VE GOT A DATE WITH SOMEONE I CAN'T TELL YOU ABOUT AND SHE JUST SHOWED UP AT MY PLACE FOR THE DATE BUT I FORGOT AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECUASE I'VE NEVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS SO I WENT TO FIND SOMEONE FOR HELP BUT STORM WAS GONE AND I CAN'T ASK ONE OF THE GIRLS AND I NEED ROMANTIC ADVICE!" I say calmly.

"Eeyup."

"Thank you! OK, so what should I do?"

"Hmm..." he looks away and puts a hoof to his chin as he thinks about it. And thinks about it. And thinks some more about it. I think I'm going to have a heart attack by the time he thinks of something.

"Well..."

"Well, what?"

"I'd say, just be yerself an do something together."

"Great myself, got it, what else?"

"That's about it."

"That can't be it, it's never that easy."

"Eeyup."

"What should we do? Is there..."

"Nnope. Doesn't matter what ya do, as long as ya do it tagether." I stare at him for a second before I give up.

"Fine, I'll make it up as I go, thanks for the help Big Mac."

"Eeyup." I turn away from him and launch myself into the air, aiming for my place. I make there in no time, somehow being fairly close to begin with, and land just outside the front stairs. I walk up to the door and place my hand on the door knob. *Inhales, Exhales* OK, I can do this. Just remember what Dolum and Big Mac told me, just open the door and have a good time. Just open the door. Any moment now. OK, seriously, here I go. On the count of three, one, two, three! Open the door hand! Rahh! Why can't be as easy as fighting a dragon or something. I suddenly hear the sound of pots and pans crashing and run inside. I go to the kitchen and find Luna sitting on the ground with a pot on the top of her horn and surrounded by other pots and pans. She looks up to me and gives me a shy smile, blushing furiously.

"Uh... found the one I was looking for" she jokes. I kneel down and take the pot off of her horn.

"What were you trying to do?"

"Well, I figured you were going out to do... something. So I figured I would get dinner started."

"You know how to cook?"

"Well... no. But I can make spaghetti!" I laugh a little, making her blush even more.

"Well, that's one more thing then I can cook, why don't you show me how to make spaghetti then" I say as I stand up, making her smile. I go to the fridge and open it up. I kneel before it to look around, only to falter when Luna puts her front half onto my back and peers into the fridge with me.

"Luna... what..."

"We'll need that!" She says as she points to an onion. I reach out and grab it, only to have Luna levitate it out of my hands and take it over to the counter. "That too" she says as she points to the celery. I look to it, then her, then back to it. I pull it out of the fridge only to have Luna Levitate it out of my hands and put it next to the onion.

"Are you going..."

"Oh and we need all of those tomato's too," she says excitedly as she points them out. We go through everything on her list in this manner, her calling them out, me pulling it out only to have her levitate it away. Once we finish going through her list she tries to get off of me, only for me to hold onto her legs. "Miles..."

"So what do I get for being your step stool?" She laughs a little before she leans over and gives me a small kiss on the cheek.

"How's that?"

"Mmm... it'll do, for now." I let go of her and let her get off. I shut the fridge as I stand and watch her look through the ingredients.

"We have everything we need except one thing, the noodles."

"Can you make it without the noodles?"

"HA! Yeah, if you like eating just paste. Think you can scrounge up some noodles?" What's wrong with paste?

"Uh... maybe, let me run into town and see if I can get some noodles."

"Alright, I'll get everything set up, don't take too long." She walks over to me and jumps up to give me a light peck on the cheek, getting me to smile. "Well, go on." She says as she walks over to the counter and starts to levitate everything into place. I walk out of the house and make my way to Ponyville. OK, everything seems to be going smoothly so far, I just need to get some noodles... what the fuck are noodles!? I know, I'll ask Spike, he should know what noodles are, hopefully. I light my heels and make my way to the library, getting there as quickly as possible. When I come up to the building I see that the lights are still on, so I knock on the door.

"Yo Spike, you in there?" After a minute of waiting Spike finally opens the door. "Why do you have a lamp shade on your head?" He looks up and throws the shade behind him. I look inside to see confetti and streamers everywhere.

"No reason, what can I help you with?"

"Uh... I need to get some noodles; do you know what they are?"

"What kind of noodles?"

"The... kind for spaghetti..."

"Spaghetti noodles, yeah I have some you can have, for how many?"

"Two."

"Two? Oh ho ho, somepony's got a date going on. Who's the lucky mare?"

"Can't say."

"Ah, a man of mystery then, alright, I'll bug you later about it, just let me go get the noodles for you." He says as he shuts the door.

"OK, I'll just wait out here then." What the fuck is he doing in there? Why was there confetti all over the place? Spike comes back and hands me a blue box with long yellow... sticks.

"Alright, just boil them and you'll be good to go. So, are you gonna tell me who you have a date with?"

"Are you going to tell me what's going on in there?"

"Uh...Nope." He says before he slams the door in my face. I stand there for a second until I shake my head and start to head home. I don't know what's going on in there and I don't want to know. I make it home and walk into the kitchen to find everything a complete disaster. There's a small fire on the stove, the counters are covered in a red sludge that seems to be boiling, the ground has a strange sticky substance and, somehow, there's literally a sink in the middle of the floor that is pouring water out, even though it's not connected to anything. Where did she get a sink? I was gone... maybe five minutes.

"Good news! I found some noodles in the cupboard!" Luna says triumphantly as she presents two plates of perfect looking spaghetti from the kitchen dining room.

"Wh-wh-what happened in here?"

"Oh... well, I think I got a little... carried away" she says as she twiddle's her hooves. A little, how did you manage to do this with only six tomatoes? I take a breath and walk over to one of the plates. The food actually smells pretty good.

"Well... let’s eat first, this actually looks really good" I say as I take a plate and head for the table, making her smile. We sit next to each other and dig in... or at least I try. She's set a fork down, but I can't stab the noodles. After a few failed attempts I look over to see Luna just watching me fail at eating. With a small chuckle she picks her fork up, with her hoof.... logic be damned, and sticks it into the noodles. She spins it around and takes the ball to her mouth and begins eating.... show off. I try her technique, with much more success, and try a bite.

"So... what do you think?"

"Well..."

"Well?"

"This..."

"Yes?"

"Is the greatest thing I have ever eaten."

"Oh stop, it's..." she starts to say but stops when I start eating with much more gusto, shoveling the noodles into my mouth. This is seriously the best thing I've ever had; it even beats those pancakes! Hmm... can you mix the two? I finish up the noodles and start to pour the rest of the sauce into my mouth. Once that's all gone I lick up the remains until the plate is back to its pristine whiteness. When I finish I set the plate down and slowly look back to Luna, who's staring at me in disbelief.

"Uh... sorry for..."

"You missed a spot." She says as she lifts up a napkin and holds it in front of my face. She takes a few moments to look for the best spot to wipe before she wipes my entire face. I grab the napkin and look down to it to find it covered in spaghetti sauce... damn... I could have eaten that. I take my napkin and try my best to clean myself off as she continues to eat. "So, was it really that good?"

"Are you kidding? That had more flavor than anything I've ever had in Topaz."

"What did you eat in Topaz?"

"Well, it was this synthetic paste that we cooked into different textures. It was bland, but it kept you going."

"Wow, that sounds awful."

"Eh, beats not eating." I say as she slurps up the last of her noodles. I see a little off the sauce left over on her lips and decide to try something. "You missed a spot" I say before I lean over and lick her lips, cleaning off the sauce and making her jump a little. She stares at me for a second before she leans in and starts to kiss me. I kiss her back and put a hand behind her head, stroking her with my thumb. As we kiss we wrap our tongues around each other’s. Heh, I can still taste the spaghetti. I try my best to dominate the kiss, but her being bigger than me makes it a challenge... that I win. I force my way onto her mouth and start to explore the new area, still finding the left over taste of spaghetti everywhere. She breaks the kiss, letting us both catch our breath, and leans her head against mine.

"Miles..."

"Yeah?"

"I smell fire." I look back to see the fire in the stove has spread and now burns the left over sauce. I jump out of my seat and run into the kitchen to fight the fire, only to slip on all of the water. I try to get up but I keep falling over myself. Suddenly a blue aura surrounds everything in the kitchen and starts to levitate its way out if the kitchen door. I look to Luna and see her standing by the flowing mass, laughing at my antics. Once all of the mess finds its way outside I look around to find my kitchen back to its original state. I get up and flare my hands, pulling out all out the water from my clothes and sending it to the sink. When I finish I turn to Luna to find her right next to me.

"So where did we..."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

We both turn to the direction of the front door and freeze.

"Nopony can know I'm here" Luna says in a panic.

"I know, I know... maybe if we stay silent, they will go away..."

"Umm, Miles... the door was open, may I come in?" I hear Fluttershy call out. I start to panic as I hear her hoof steps come closer to the kitchen.

"I have to go I..."

"Hold on, I've got an idea, just follow my lead" I say as I bring my magic up to my elbows and start the illusion spell.

"Oh, Miles... I'm so sorry I came in without permission... it's just that... well all of the girls were supposed to get together tonight... do you know where she is Storm?" She asks as she looks over to Luna. My spell makes her appear as Storm, as long as she doesn't talk we should be able to get through this.

"She went to the pharmacists with Rain Cloud.... because... Storm is sick, right Storm?" I ask. Luna looks up at me in confusion until she sees that she looks like Storm.

"Uh..."

"Yup, sick. That's our story and we're sticking to it!"

"Oh... so sorry to hear that, would you like me to check on you...."

"NO!" I yell, making her jump back a little. "Sorry... it's just... we already had him checked, that's why Twilight went to the pharmacist, to get the medication."

"I didn't know the pharmacist were open this late" Fluttershy says as she looks me over. "Are you okay Miles... you seem to be... on fire." I look over to see the archaic lines have made their way up to my shoulders, burning my shirt along the way. Why didn't I train more in illusionary spells?

"Uh... I'm... levitating something..."

"But I saw you levitate things before, they didn't seem that hard for you."

"That's because this... thing, is really far away..."

"Why are you levitating something far away?" Aw fucking dammit! I can feel the lines start to move to my back, I'm using too much right now... it's starting to hurt.

"We have a bet going" Luna says in the deepest voice she can muster.

"A bet?"

"Yeah, to see if I can lift something to Canterlot." I say as I kneel down. The pressure from the unfamiliar spell is starting to take its toll on me.

"I don't think..."

"LOOK! A defenseless little animal being hurt my somepony!" Luna yells in her deep voice as she points out the window.

"What! Those big meanies!" Fluttershy say as she runs out the back door and fly's off to find the nonexistent culprit. I drop to my side as I let go of the spell. My entire body is yelling at me for doing that... but it was worth it.

"Miles, are you alright?" Luna says as she walks up beside me, looking like her old self.

"Yeah... I just *pant* don't usually use... that kind of magic..."

"I saw you turn a dragon to ash like it was nothing, how does a simple illusion spell tire you out so easily?"

"Because I'm not... familiar with them... human magic... depends on knowledge of the spell... plus physical ability... I've trained rigorously with fighting magic... everything else is foreign to me." Luna looks down at me with slight confusion before she walks over to the fridge. I try to look over, but my body won't allow me to move without yelling at me in pain. She comes back to me and Smiles as she teleports us away. "Where are we?"

"On your roof, I thought some wine under the stars would be nice, don't you?" I roll onto my back and look up to the night sky.

"Yeah... sounds good." She lays on her back so we're next to one another. She pulls out a wine sack and two glasses and pours us both a glass.

"I've never heard of Blood Proof Wine... where did you get this?" She asks as she levitates me a glass.

"I got it off of Gary. Remember that Minotaur that attacked Ponyville?" I say as I take the glass.

"*sigh* yes. But let’s not think of that, right now it's just you and me." She says as she lifts the glass and takes a drink. I raise mine and take a drink as well.... oh shit.
