Bats!...And The Date

It was early morning the day after Princess Twilight Sparkle had asked her human roommate, DJ, out on a date. The morning started off for DJ like many others: waking up early, so that he was not noticed as he left. Many times during the week, DJ would head out before the others would wake and head into the Everfree Forest. He had discovered a small clearing not too far in and made it his special training spot. Here he would practice with his lightsabers for hours on end, trying to master them to his fullest. It was painful at first as he tried to replicate what he had seen in the movies. Thankfully, he had the swords at their lowest power setting, to the point that they were just big, glowing sticks. He accidently struck himself many times, and it hurt like heck! Over several weeks, however, he began getting better and better. He was able to perform many different strikes and skills, almost as if he had had the proper training in the first place.

It was also a great time to think, and he had a lot to think about today! His thoughts were all focused on Twilight as he performed his strikes and exercises. Why is she doing this?, he thought to himself. Is she just humoring me? Or does she actually have feelings for me? That would explain all that blushing. Nah, I'm not worth her time. I'm just a simple human, what could she possibly see in me? Should I even go through with this date? His strikes began to get wilder as his thoughts began to spiral. This is a bad idea. It is just going to end badly and she's gonna get hurt. I am--. His thoughts ended as his swing ended up striking his leg.

"GAH! That's smarts! Dang it, I need to pay attention to what I am doing. These aren't toys, anymore," he berated himself. This kind of stuff is gonna get you hurt man! Get your head in the game! That was enough training for the day, as Celestia's Sun was starting to rise. He didn't want the others to worry about him or know what he was doing out so early in the morning. So, he headed back to the library for a quick shower and some breakfast.

After breakfast, the group were deciding on what they were going to do today. That was, until Applejack burst in through the front door, saying she needed everypony's help at the farm and that it was an emergency! Nyx decided to stay behind, so it was just DJ, Twilight, and Spike. They joined the rest of the Mane 6 at Sweet Apple Acres, which was in sorry shape. This isn't what I think it is, is it? "Applejack what happened here?," asked the human.

"There back! It's the vampire fruit bats! Them varmints are ruining my orchard! An' I don't want them anywhere near my soon-to-be prize winning apple!" She pulled a curtain away so the rest of them could see the largest apple they ever done see! It was MASSIVE! The tree it was on couldn't even hold the weight. DAMN! Is that suppose to even be possible? Oh, wait! This is Equestria, EVERYTHING is possible! Duh!

"Them vermin need to be stamped out!," Applejack said with a huff of anger.

"*Gasp* That's a little harsh don't you think?." asked Fluttershy. Defending animals of all kinds was her profession after all. Okay, I know where this story's going.

"NO, I DONT!" And cue the song! So the song began:

"I am sorry, Fluttershy, but these creatures are too dangerous," said Rarity who was trying to comfort her friend as the others trudged off towards the orchard. All, except one.

"Aren't ya comin' DJ?," asked AJ.

The human shook his head. "No girls. I am with Fluttershy on this one." Only because I know how this all goes down, and I don't want to be a part of it. The others were in shock, especially Twilight, who was sure that DJ would be with them on this issue.

"B-but why? These bats will only destroy Applejacks food source we have to help!" Twilight seemed on the verge of tears. Dang it girl! Don't do this to me.

"I'm sorry Twi, but Fluttershy is right on this, and I am not going to be a part of this. If you need me, I'll be at the library with Nyx," he said turning around and heading off. Twilight looked very upset, but Applejack let her anger subside to comfort her friend.

"It's alright Twi. DJ's is a peculiar one, after all. Who knows what goes on inside that head of his?" She shepherded Twilight along with their other friends towards the orchard, Fluttershy bringing up the rear.

"I know that, AJ, but I thought he would have sided with me...I mean, us!"

That threw the others for a loop, but Applejack recognized it immediately. "Twilight, are you two alright?"

As hard as she could, Twilight couldn't come up with anything to say, except the truth. "Well, I think I scared DJ last night."

"Oh, darling what could you have possibly done that would scare our dear human friend?," asked the fashion mare.

"I kinda...sorta...asked him out on a date?" That caused jaws to drop all around.

"WHAAAAT?!?!?!?!" The others were in complete shock! Twilight asked DJ out?!

"Why did you do that?," asked Rainbow.

"I had a talk with Princess Celestia last night. She said if that I ever wanted anything to happen between the two of us, then I had to be the on to start it." She felt it was only fair that her friends know exactly what was going on.

"Why? Wouldn't DJ ask if and when he was ready?"

"Of course not, silly. DJ has little to no self esteem, how could he ever ask anypony out, especially his crush?," said Pinkie Pie. Twilight was thrown on the loop this time.

"H-how did you know that?"

"Because I can tell. He has major self-doubt issues. He probably thinks he isn't even worth your time."

"Oh, my! The poor dear, why would he think so low of himself?"

"Celestia said something similar," Twilight mused. "She said that it comes from the world he lived in, something about constantly fearing losing the ones he cared about, so he never even tried."

"Then we will have to fix that! After we help dear, Applejack, anyways," said Rarity. Twilight looked at her with a confused look. "We will be there on your date, hidden of course. Just to make sure everything goes perfectly."

Twilight looked on the verge of tears again. "Thanks girls, what would I do without you? Our date is Friday at 8pm."

"We'll be there sugar cube, nothin' bad is gonna happen on our watch. Now let's take care of the varmints in my trees." They all nodded and went to work.

***Meanwhile, at Library!***

That may have come out a little harsh. Ah, well. I may not be able to stop them, but I sure as heck ain't fighting a vampire. Nuh, uh! Not when I can't kill it. DJ entered the home to find Nyx reading in the center of the library. "Hey, squirt! Whatcha reading?"

"Oh! Hey, DJ. I was just reading the last 'Daring Do' book. Isn't it amazing that Rainbow Dash is in it? Wow!"

"Yeah, just imagine being there!" DJ shuddered. Not as fun as it sounds. Those ponies were fierce! DJ, thought, remembering the butt-kicking he endured on that particular adventure.

"I know! I am so jealous of you guys! By the way, aren't you supposed to be helping Mom and the others? Why did ya come back?" She had that curiosity look again. Dang, kid how does your mom every tell you 'no?' This is cuteness overload material right here! DJ figured that he couldn't lie to her so he went with the truth.

"You really want to know?" She nodded with enthusiasm. "Alright." DJ went and grabbed his laptop. Thankfully, Twilight had found a spell that gave it's charge infinite life, only so she could use it thought. She sure loves technology! Nyx looked on confused as to what her friend was doing with that computer of his. He brought up his video folders and went to a certain episode. "Here you go, kiddo. Enjoy!" He pressed play and left Nyx to enjoy My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Episode 407: Bats!. While she was watching in awe of what her mother and friends were doing, he resigned to a notebook that he had brought out and began to scribble.

Twenty minutes later the episode ended and Nyx returned her attention to the human writing at the table. "Is that really what's gonna happen?" He looked up and nodded .

"Don't worry Nyx, that part at the end? It wad just to make fun of the horror movies that we have back on Earth. Those movies never have happy endings. It's nothing to worry about Flutters will be just fine!," he said with that reassuring smile of his.

Nyx seemed satisfied with that, but noticed what the human was working. "What are you working on DJ?"

"Well, since Nightmare Night is only in a couple of weeks, I decided that I should do something special for the occasion. Wanna help? I already got Discord's assistance, but I bet you could be a great addition!"

"R-really? You want my help?" He nodded. "B-but what could I do? My magic just isn't all that good anymore." She put head down, obviously still upset at her lack of magic. DJ got up and moved to the little alicorn filly. He began to stroke her mane.

"Don't be like that Nyx. You still have magic, I know it. You just have to begin again. I know one day, your magic will just as powerful as it used to be. Heck, you'll probably be stronger than your mom and I know that you'll use that power for the right purposes. You are a strong and caring filly. Never believe anything different. So are you on board?"

Nyx looked up at the smiling friend. Somehow, that smile of his always made her days brighter and he genuinely cared for her. She wiped away her tears and smiled. "Uh huh." DJ smile got brighter and leaned in to tell her the plan. Her eyes went wide with what the human had up his sleeve. "Are you sure that no pony will get hurt?"

"Of course! It'll be great, I know it! Now if only I could plan for Friday like I could for this." He sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"What's so special about Friday?" Did she not know?

"Well, Nyx. Your mother and I have a date this Friday and I have no idea what I am doing!" Nyx's eyes went wide with joy. Her mother actually was going to date her new friend! Could he maybe be the one?, she thought to herself. Before they could talk anymore Twilight and Spike came bounding in through the front door.

"Hey, there you two how did it go?," asked DJ.

Twilight smiled smugly at her date. "We got rid of the bats and without hurting them! So, HA!" DJ and Nyx shared a knowing look. Oh, how wrong she was!, they thought together.

"Good for you! Now if you'll excuse me, I have plans to work out." With that DJ grabbed his notebook and walked down to his room.

"What plans?," asked Spike.

"DJ's trying to figure out what to do for Friday," Nyx said. She couldn't tell them about what was really in that book. It HAD to be a surprise.

Twilight blushed a little. "Oh, okay. I guess we should leave him to it." And the day continued on. Little did she and Spike know what was to come tomorrow.

***Friday Night - 11:00 pm***

Surprisingly, nothing bad happened at all on their date. It started off with DJ still poking fun about the vampony incident, which she just blushed and shrunk a little in her seat. They started off with dinner at the best restaurant in town. They had a lovely dinner and talked, both finding out a few new bits of information on each other. DJ even told Twilight that the lightsabers gave him special powers. She asked if he would go into it more, but he said it would be better said in private, not public. She relented, but in a huff. From there, they went to a late night movie and returned home afterwards. Only Twilight knew that her friends had been following them all night, but she never noticed them once. At this current moment they were on top of the library looking down on them.

"Tonight was perfect, DJ. I haven't had such a good time in a while," she said as they entered the library.

"Y-yeah, nothing bad happened! That's new!" They shared a small laugh at that.

"You know what would make this night truly perfect DJ?," Twilight asked with a sly smile.

"No." He said with suspicion. Twilight then put her front legs on his shoulders, and leaned into him. Her eyes were closed and lips were pursed together. At that moment, DJ's brain took a small vacation...and then came back with nothing. Holy crap, holy crap, HOLY CRAP!!!! All DJ could do has stutter and lean away from her, having no idea what to do. Twilights eyebrows started to scrunch down, she opened her eyes. "Well? Why won't you kiss me? Don't you want to?" Her voice was both upset and pleading and angry all at the same time. And DJ was in no condition to respond.

"Uh,......No?" STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!! Twilight's anger exploded, luckily she didn't rage shift.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?! I am not enough for you? You know what? I don't want to hear it! Just get out! Out! Out! OUT!" She pushed him outside, still in a daze. "And don't come back!" She slammed the door and huffed upstairs. Nyx was on her bed looking at her mother. Twilight noticed her saddened expression and knew that she had heard everything. She approached her daughter, but Nyx turned around and looked out and down the open window.

"Hey, mom. DJ's down there and he's talking with the Discords. Sounds like it's about you."

"I told him to get lost!" Her anger returned. "I am gonna throw a book at him." She grabbed a large tome near her bed and approached the window. That was until she heard DJ speak.

"OF COURSE I WANTED TO KISS HER!!"

***A Few Minutes Earlier***

WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, YOU MORON? DJ was screaming in his own mind at blunder. Not only had he turned down the greatest mare he ever met, he got himself kicked out! "Stupid, stupid, stupid." At that moment, the Discords appeared from his pocket, concern on their faces.

"Hey, boss you doin' alright?," asked the leader.

"No, I'm not alright! I just screwed up big time! I just turned down the greatest girl I've ever met!"

"Then, why'd you do it?"

"Because I freaked! I had no idea what to do. This is the first time any of this ever happened. You know, this the first time I ever went on a date?" The Discord's eyes went wide. "That means that that kiss would have been my first kiss!"

"So, you didn't want to kiss her?" That broke it!

"OF COURSE I WANTED TO KISS HER!! She's perfect! Twilight's smart, cute, beautiful, basically she has the perfect personality! Do you know how hard it would be to find a girl back home like her? It would be impossible! There is no one like her in existence, on Earth, Equis, or anywhere. And I just screwed my only chance to be with her. Why I am so pathetic?" He put his head in his lap as he sat against the tree. Discord 3 approached him.

"Well, boss. Why not sing your problems away? You always said that music was a great way to relieve stress and to cheer you up. We're here for ya, man. Just start and will be there."

DJ thought on it for a moment. "*Sigh* How is it that you guys always know how to make me feel better? Isn't that supposed to be what I'm here for? To keep you buffoons in good spirits?"

Together they spoke. "We'll take that as a compli-sult."

DJ smiled at them. "Hey, that's my word! You can't use it without permission." He thought for another moment. "Well, here goes nothing. A one, two, three, four.

Dum dum dum

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

If you say goodbye to me tonight

There would still be music left to write

What else could I do?

I'm so inspired by you

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone

Now I know that happiness goes on

That's where you found me and

When you put your arms around me

I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

And that voice you're hearing in my heart

Ain't the greediest miracle of all

It's how I need you

And how you needed me too

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

Maybe I've been hoping too hard

But I've come this far

And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further will go on?

Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone

I'll take my chances

I forgot how nice romance is

I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts all this time

I said to myself hold on to your heart

Now I know the woman that you are

You're wonderful so far

And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings

I have been a fool for lesser things

I want you so bad

I think you ought to know that

I intend to hold you for the longest time

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

Oh oh oh the longest, for the longest time

**********

Twilight heard everything. His speech, the song, everything. And she couldn't be happier. She truly thought that DJ had rejected her, but she had only surprised him. He didn't know how to respond to her. It all made sense. Tears of joys were pouring from her eyes. She looked over to Nyx who had a great, big smile on her face. Nyx nodded to her mother, and Twilight nodded back. She spread her wings on took flight, landing right in front of DJ.

He looked up when he heard something land in front of him. He freaked, again. He backed into the tree as far as he could, still sitting on the ground. "I-I'm sorry Twilight! Did I disturb you? I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!" He feared every woman, he knew that they were the fiercest creatures nature ever produced and never wanted to be around when they were angry. Not looking for a horror show, thank you very much.

"DJ, you are the most insufferable, reckless, and most moronic creature I have ever MET!" She yelled all of that at him as she approached. DJ closed his as he waited for the inevitable. He suddenly felt a strange sensation on his mouth he opened to see Twilight Sparkle kissing him! Once again, DJ's mind took a break.

"And I wouldn't change you in the slightest." She said as she pulled away from the kiss. She looked at him, but he seemed to have a thousand yard stare. "DJ? Are you ok?" Oh No! Did I do something wrong?, she thought.

"Uh, boss?" asked Discord 1. "Hellooo? Boss?" He waved his talon back and forth in front of the human, but he remained unresponsive. Then, DJ spoke but in a quiet voice.

"Did that just happen? Did that really just happen?"

"If you mean the kiss, then yeah. If really happened," Twilight said back. DJ began to shake worrying everyone around him, even Twilight's friends in the tree who had heard everything. Even crying a little because all that DJ said. DJ suddenly shot up from where he was sitting...right up. Suddenly, the human had turned into a rocket, going right into the sky above the library ("A Pup Named Scooby Doo, style!)

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" He screamed to the heavens, still in them, too. "I JUST GOT KISSED BY TWILIGHT SPARKLE!! SUCK ON THAT GUYS BACK HOME!! BEST FIRST KISS EVER!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! I'M GONNA SING MY HEART OUT!! COME PINKIE, SING WITH ME!" Together the human and party pony took off, singing and running like wild animals through Ponyville.

It was noon time, down time, break time

Summertime, Miller time, anytime, she was looking pretty fine

A red light, green light, go all fired upside downtown

She was shaking me all around

I was tuned in, going nowhere, second wind

Jonesing, drooling, feeling good, if you would

Oh yeah, by the way she moves

She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt

Breaker Breaker 1-9, she's a big ol' flirt

By now she's got me pretty tied up

Tied down, any way I choose

I've got nothin' to lose

"Hey how'd we get to Canterlot?", Pinkie asked.

"Who cares,? Sing with me!"

In like Flynn, I was looking for the win

Just trying anything, hey baby, where you been

All my life I've been looking for someone like you

Falling head over heels, hey, what can I do?

Oh yeah, by the way she moves

She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt

Breaker Breaker 1-9, she's a big ol' flirt

By now she's got me pretty tied up

Tied down, any way I choose

I've got nothin' to lose

"DJ?! What is the meaning of this?," demanded Princess Celestia, Luna by her side staring in wonder at the pair.

"Twilight kissed me and I'm happy! BYE!"

Now I'm in the fast lane going 98

By now I know she can smooth operate me

I know now she's no goody two shoes

But hey, I've got myself nothin' to lose

Oh yeah, by the way she moves

She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt

Breaker Breaker 1-9, she's a big ol' flirt

By now she's got me pretty tied up

Tied down, any way I choose

I've got nothin' to lose

Oh yeah, by the way she moves

She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt

Breaker Breaker 1-9, she's a big ol' flirt

By now she's got me pretty tied up

Tied down, any way I choose

I've got nothin' to lose

Noon time, down time, break time

Summertime, Miller time, any time

She was looking pretty fine

In like Flynn, I was looking for the win

Just trying anything, hey baby, where you been

All my life I was looking for someone like you

Falling head over heels, hey, what can I do?

I got nothin' to lose, yeah

He landed right on top of the library, Twilight flew up to check on him. He looked at her with a great big smile. "Best. Night. Ever!" She returned the smile and curled up next to him. He put his arm around her and slowly drifted off to sleep. This is gonna be great! was his last thought before he was in slumber.
