Their meal was served soon enough, without waiting they both started eating, and they both had to agree the restaurant’s name was really fitting, it was one of the best if not the best pasta they both have eaten, after they finished their meal Terry paid for it and they both left.

They took taxi and drove to the Mercury’s city shopping mall.

“So darling, what kind of suit do you wish to purchase?”

“I’m not sure, I’ll trust in your judgement.”

Terry smiled and Rarity nodded, she licked her lips and started looking around, after spotting first shop with suits she took Terry’s hand and quickly trotted towards its entrance.

They walked inside and started looking around, shop was square filled with holders which were full of many different suits, black ones, white ones some were more original and there were some classical ones.

Except for suits there were also many patent leather shoes in different sizes.

Terry whistled in amazement, he didn’t know they had shop like this in their mall, he looked at Rarity but she was already gone running around holders picking out suits for him to try.

After few moments she was back with 5 different sets of suits for him, 4 of them being black and one had white top with black pants.

“Try these for starters.”

“For starters?” Terry asked rather shocked.

“Of course my dear, go on change and I’ll look for some good shoes to go with these.”

Terry sighed and slightly regretted his decision, he looked at Rarity, she was smiling going from shoes to shoes, he sighed and smiled, he went inside changing room.

Well If this makes her happy.

You know at this rate we might be late for the play

I think you are overreacting.

I’m overreacting? You are arguing with your own brain.

“How are you doing darling?” Rarity shouted

“F-Fine, I almost got it.”

“Then show me.”

Terry opened the doors and stood before Rarity in classical black suit, she eyed him from feet to the top of his head and shook her muzzle.

Terry sighed and proceeded to try another suit.

Told ya

Shut up brain, I’m sure this won’t take long.

5 hours later.

“Holy shieet.” Terry sighed in exhaustion sitting on the bench, on his left he had a suit Rarity decided will be good for him, it was navy blue suit and tie with dots.

“What’s wrong darling?”

“I’m best player in our basketball team, and yet I got completely wasted after running from shop to shop for 5 hours straight, how is it possible you are not even sweating?”

“Ladies don’t sweat silly.”

Terry sighed and laid back on the bench.

Rarity rubbed back of her head with her hoof nervously.

“Terry?”

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry, I love shopping but it seems I just bored you for last 5 hours.”

Terry placed his hand on top of her head and gently stroke her mane.

“You don’t have anything to be sorry about, I asked you to help me and yeah I’m tired, but I wasn’t bored.” He smiled warmly, hoping that it will confirm his words.

Rarity smiled back and leaned her muzzle towards him giving him a soft kiss on the lips.

She backed away, Terry was looking at her with dreamy eyes slightly dazed.

Rarity giggled and asked.

“So Terry, when is this play you wish to watch?”

“Oh right, it’s on 8 p.m. so we still have 2 hours.”

“Great, is there anything you would wish to do in the meantime?”

“I’ll think about something, but right now I wish for only one thing.”

“Which is?”

“Huuge portion of cold ice creams.”

Rarity chuckled and nodded, they stood up and went to buy themselves few ice cream balls.

After buying and consuming, they decided to walk to the City park and relax a bit.

Terry and Rarity sat on the bench with a great sight of sunset, Rarity rested her head on his Shoulder.

“It’s beautiful.”

“Yeah, it is.”

“So, Thomas said that in your world nobody is moving the sun? Is it moving on its own?”

“Actually, it’s not the sun moving, our planet is circling around it.”

“Oh, that’s rather weird.”

Terry chuckled and laid his head on top of Rarity’s.

“So we will have to go to your house so you can change into your suit right?”

“Yeah we will.”

After his statement silence fell on them like heavy rain, they sat there for seconds which felt like hours when finally Rarity said what they both were thinking.

“Which means we will have to introduce me to your parents.”

Terry sighed and nodded.

“I guess we will.”

“How do you think they will react?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know them too well.”

Rarity removed her head from his shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes, sun almost hiding behind the horizon in the background, almost everyone already left the park, except for those who were watching this amazing spectacle of sun hiding for rest of the night.

“What do you mean darling?”

“I mean what I said, I don’t know them too well, ever since I remember they are almost always away on business trips, or vacations.”

“But still they weren’t always away right?”

“Yeah right, when they were home father was working and mother was having fun on the city, my childhood was filled with different babysitters.”

Before Rarity could respond Terry continued.

“Some time before I thought that they actually wanted the best for me, father paid for anything I wanted, new computer, concert tickets, basketball, it took me some time to realize that’s just his way of getting rid of me.”

“Oh darling, I’m sure he never thought of you like that.”

“Perhaps, I never really got to ask him.”

Rarity jumped from the bench and stood before him

“Terry, you can’t live like that, you have to tell your parents how you feel.”

Terry wanted to respond but Rarity put her hoof on his mouth silencing him.

“We will go to your house right now, you will go in and tell your parents same thing you just told me.”

“B-But.”

“No buts, you have to Terry, you know you do.”

Terry sighed and closed his eyes, he started to think about his whole childhood ragged of his parents love and care, his expression changed to anger.

“You know what, you’re right, if I won’t tell them that, I will regret it forever, since you know, I won’t be staying in this world for too long.”

They both chuckled and soon Terry stood up and they walked towards his house, leaving the park behind just when sun finally hid itself completely, they walked without hesitation down the street, some people passing by them showing signs of exhaustion on their faces after long day of work.

As they were getting closer Terry was starting to lose his confidence, each step filled him with new fears and doubts.

They finally stood before his house, Terry gulped, his previous confidence was now completely gone, completely taken over by hesitation.

“Hey R-Rarity, maybe we shouldn’t…”

“No, you have to do this Terry, you know you do.”

She grabbed his hand with her hoof and smiled, her expression was full of concern and hope, he still was scared, but disappointing her was last thing he was going to do.

“All right, here we go.”

Terry opened the door with his keys and walked inside.

“Mom, Dad, I’m Home!.”
