Thomas facepalmed himself which startled Applejack a little.

“Thomas are ya okay sugarcube?”

“Yes I’m fine, here.” Thomas said while handing his mobile phone to Applejack.

“Your boyfriend is calling.” Applejack put a face of confusion and using her hoof held his phone near her ear.

“Howdy?”

“Oh hey Rebecca it’s Michael.”

Applejack immediately changed her muzzle color from orange to red, Thomas left out a few chuckles.

“Hey Michael how are you?”

“I’m mighty fine thanks, you see Rebecca, they are playing a pretty good movie in our city cinema on Saturday so I thought, that maybe we could go together?”

“Ya mean like a bunch of friends?”

“No actually, I am asking you out on a date.”

“A-a-a-a date?!” Applejack almost shouted getting the attention of everyone in the room, except for Brandy and Pinkie, they were too focused on creating a ship in the bottle.

“Yeah, so you want to go?” Michael asked, his voice almost sounded like he was begging her.

“Ah, ah…”

‘For celestia’s sake Ah never was asked out on a date by any colt before, what should Ah do?’

“Sure Ah’ll be glad to go with you.” Applejack said with a strong blush.

“Really? That’s great, I’ll come over to pick you up at 7 p.m. see you on Saturday then.”

Before Applejack could respond Michael cut off the call.

Applejack sat on her haunches, looking at the phone with dreamy eyes and wide smile on her muzzle.

“So Applejack you have a date I assume?” Thomas asked

Applejack blushed again, she tried to hide it behind her Stetson but it didn’t work.

“Ah think so.”

“Let me guess, it’s on Saturday?”

Applejack stopped hiding behind her hat and looked at Thomas.

“How did ya know that?”

“Intuition.” Thomas said while walking towards his alcohol shelf and pulling out a whisky bottle.

‘If Celestia won’t find a way to bring them back home soon, I’ll either go mad or become an alcoholic. Maybe both.’

While Thomas was trying to calm himself down with his beloved whisky, all the ponies and humans gathered in his living room started to chat with each other while doing different things.

Applejack was talking with Terry and Rarity, her jaw hung open when Rarity told her about what happened between her and Terry, they later talked about Saturday and Rarity was constantly giving Applejack some advices which she mostly shrugged off.

Rainbow Dash was now with Brandy and Pinkie all three of them playing some kind of three-person chess.

Fluttershy was talking with Alex, he was mostly asking her about her animals, he would sometimes compliment her which made Fluttershy blush in response.

Twilight and Albert were talking about many, many things, starting from Equestrian history, through magic, ending on quantum physics. Both of them blushing throughout the whole conversation.

When Thomas was looking at the scene in his living room while slowly drinking his whisky he started to think about their current situation.

‘All right, let’s sum it up.

I have 6 ponies from another dimension hiding in my house, while waiting for their princess to find a way to bring them back home.

Then one of them found herself a boyfriend.

Suddenly another one is asked out on a date, and it’s quite clear that both the guy and the girl are having a crush on each other.

We also have a guy who seems to be doing some kind of scientific flirting with Twilight, oh and let’s not forget about finding a human version of Pinkie, like one Pinkie wasn’t enough.

Not bad, not bad, if this will go on I think we will be found out by Sunday.’

Thomas finished his glass of whisky immediately pouring himself another one, he then took his glass and bottle and went upstairs to his room, before telling Fluttershy to close the door after guys will leave.

He wanted to entrust Twilight with this responsibility, but then he thought that he doesn’t have enough alcohol in his whole house for Fluttershy to get drunk, so in case of the unexpected party to occur, it was safer to ask her then lavender unicorn, who just recently had her first party with alcohol.

Thomas walked into his room gulped the rest of the whisky from the glass and just laid on his bed.

‘What will I do if someone with bad intentions will find out about them? What if government will go after them? How can I help them if this will happen?’

Completely lost in his thoughts Thomas didn’t notice someone walking into his room, until he turned his head and he saw somepony’s muzzle few inches away from it.

“Hey are you all right?” Rainbow Dash asked

“Yeah I’m fine I’m just thinking about many things right now and I can’t get them off my head.”

“Maybe I can help you.”

“I don’t think so really.” Thomas said while closing his eyes and placing his head on a pillow.

“Oh, so I guess I will go back, I don’t want to trouble you.” Rainbow Dash said with a sadness in her voice turning herself towards the door

“Wait Rainbow, I didn’t say I wouldn’t enjoy some company.” Thomas said while quickly lifting himself into sitting position. He saw Rainbow turning around and smiling at him, she then jumped on a bed and sat near him.

They just sat there, looking at the wall, in complete silence, then finally Rainbow Dash broke the silence asking Thomas something he didn’t want to be asked about.

“So Thomas, about this date of ours.”

‘Oh shit.’

“Yeah what about it?” He asked with awkward smile

“I know you did that because of alcohol, so you know we don’t have to do this.”

For first few seconds Thomas felt a relief, which quickly changed into sadness and disappointment.

‘What’s that? She just said we don’t have to go on a date, wasn’t that what I wanted? Or am I really starting to form a crush on her? She’s a pony for goodness sake, well quite a beautiful one, and amazing, and loyal, and….

FUCK I’m doing it again’

After few moments of his common sense fighting with his feeling he finally said

“No Rainbow, I didn’t do it just because of alcohol you know, where do you want to go on a date?” Thomas asked with smile on his face and joy in his heart.

Rainbow’s ears perked up at his sentence and she quickly turned his muzzle towards him, her frown quickly turned into a smile and she hugged him.

“Thank you Thomas.”

“Hey you’re welcome, it’ll be a honor to go on a date with the most awesome mare there ever was.”

Rainbow held her head with pride while still blushing a little

“You’re damn right it is, so since I don’t know this place I think you should pick the place.”

“All right then how about.”

Thomas was thinking about many things, rejecting almost every single idea, when finally he thought of something good.

“There’s a basketball match on Monday, we could go there, then we could get something to eat in a nearby restaurant.”

Thomas also planned something special to end a date with but he didn’t want to tell her about it yet.

“Sounds good to me, so are we going to join the party downstairs or what?” Rainbow asked with cocky grin.

“What? You mean there’s another party down there? Since when my house became a goddamn club?”

Rainbow laughed at his comment and walked towards the door Thomas following her.

And he could swear she was swaying her hips on purpose.
