I woke up. The light that I expected shrunk to a low. It was night so I wasn't expecting anymore light than what I'm getting now. I looked over and saw my arm was empty of Chrome. "No, no nononononononononono. Chrome! Where are you?!" I was worried about what just happened and what he showed us just a few hours ago. I heard a hustle from outside the balcony doors. "Who's there?" I yelled to the door hoping the other pony or thing that was there would hear me.

I got shot up and out of bed like it was nothing. I was a bit dazed because of how fast I got up but it only lasted a few seconds. I ran to the door and shoved it open. I was relieved to see Chrome sitting at the piano. He looked at me and smiled. "Can you teach me how to play the piano?" My heart started to beat again after that. I wasn't going to have the 6 take him again.

"Yeah. Lets start with the basics." I said taking his hooves and placing them on the piano keys and played some simple songs. He was just letting me play with his hooves. I guess he learned from that. I taught him all I know in about a hour. He started to play freestyle and was doing fantastically well. I didn't know what to say about it. He was just a smart, fast learning, cute pony that I love.

"Hey, Chrome this is a weird question to ask. But do you love me the same as I love you? I'm just curious." I asked him. I blushed at the moment I said that. I was just wondering and then my voice got involved.

"Master, I love you more than you love me." He said as he walked over to me. "I would want you to be there for me everyday and I would want to be there for you everyday." He said as he walked towards me. I was sitting down in the chair that looked over Ponyville and the rest of Equestria. "I would show you how I feel but it's to early." He said getting closer to me.

"I never knew." I was stunned by what he said, and by what I think he was saying I know why he said it was to early. "Hey, what if I said I would take you on a date and have something special to give you?" I said. I was now planning to do this tomorrow night.

"Well, yes. I would accept that offer of yours." He said. My eyes sparkled. My heart melted simultaneously. I felt like a king, but the thing was I still had to plan this out. What time? What will impress him? Will I even have the power to make this happen? "Should I mark an event for your wishes?" He suggested.

"Yes, tomorrow evening. 10PM. The royal eating hall." I ordered. I was going to make this as good as possible. This time I won't have Twilight in my way, and if she finds a way to interfere with this plan then I will have her know. She will pay the ultimate price. I don't care what I will say to her if it would happen to be rude and painful then there that's what she gets. If I say something carefully said and not rude then she probably won't learn anything. "Mark it as 'Dinner Date' I will make it the best for both of us and I will try and make from today on the best times of our lives, if it's the last thing I do." I said with confidence filling my voice.

"Hey, I'm not tired and it's night. The garden looks pretty nice. You want to go explore it?" He said as he put away his calendar.

"Sure, I was just about to get online and maybe play a few GTP5 with Luna (GTP is Grand Theft Pony) but yeah the garden does seem lovely tonight." I looked down towards Ponyville. The street lights were on and perfectly lighted to a romantic and eye popping view. I felt like I was in a movie and was on top of the Eiffel Tower, over looking Paris. The stars would shine brightly and the moon dim. I would look down and see all the floors and bolts. But then I would look over and see my lover. Just to see him under the stars, with what would look like his eyes sparkling brightly. He hair would move softly with the breeze, and the candles on the table would reveal our meals. I snapped back into reality. I wanted that to happen and if I took a trip to Paroof (Paris + hoof = bad pony joke) maybe by that time we would have grown on each other and would be waiting for who would propose. I want that to happen then and there.

"Well if you want I can play with you and Luna up here." I could tell from his voice and gestures he made with his hoof he really wanted to go to the garden.

"No no. I will sacrifice my time to make you happy. It's what I want to do for you." I said.

"Thank you! Let's go, come on!" He jumped up and grabbed my hand. He pulled me along side him. I opened up the door and closed it behind us. "Thanks for going with me." He said. He reminded me of a super excited kid. It was cute. But I knew inside he was grown up. Like me, I still like to act like a kid now and then. Especially when I'm excited.

"It's my pleasure. Actually let me help you." I swooped him off his hooves. Literally. I cradled him in my arms. I kissed him a few times on the way down. Each time I out my lips on his and it was one of those out of body moments, were it felt unreal and just ghost like.

I was again breathing heavy when I reached the final stretch of the stairs. I hated those stairs but hey it was more bonding time for me and my lover. I reached the hallway and it was filled with guards roaming up and down them. "Excuse me sir, but where is the way to the garden?" I stopped a guard an asked him.

"You will have to go down the hallway for two halls, take a left and head straight down that hallway. There will be two big green doors. Open the doors and there you will have the garden." He explained.

"Ok, thank you sir." I replied.

"Anything for you and the Princesses sir. Have a nice night." He said as he walked away going back to his normal hallway patrol.

We started to walk and counted each hallway to make sure we were exactly where we want to be. We found the hallway and opened the big green doors. The doors were absolutely huge. Felt bigger than the tower Chrome and I lived in.

Once we opened the doors it revealed an absolutely huge pond and a huge garden roaming the outsides of the pond. The trees and grass were a perfect green. The water was like a shining, clear, and dark shade of blue. Even the berries growing there were a perfect purplish green.

"Whoa, it's magnificent." Chrome said in shock.

"I know. It's better up close than from the tower." I said coming out in my own opinion.

"So want to go walk around and talk?" Chrome suggested.

"I was going to do that originally." I replied, he didn't say anything and just started walking down the steps towards the fresh grass. I followed right behind him. "It seems so unreal about how green these are." I said trying to make conversation.

"Yeah, even on the Internet there is nothing this green. Not even the Great Plains of Middle Equestria can top this." He said. I didn't know there was a Great Plains or Equestria when he said that. "Master would you mind if I take pictures so I can put this into my data base?" He asked.

"I don't mind. Take as many as you would like." I replied.

We reached the deep blue pond. I looked over the rim and saw little fish and my reflection in the water. I wondered what it felt like so I stuck my hand out. I couldn't remember the last time I went swimming or even felt water around my hand. My finger was so close. "STOP!" I heard from a soft voice near to my right side.

I pulled my hand back instantly. "Huh?" My voice escaped my mouth without even thinking. That's not what I wanted to say but it was already out.

"Master don't let her hurt me." I looked back at Chrome and saw him curled up in a little ball. I got and sorta did a semi-run. More like a run but a little slower. Either way I picked him up in his size defying ball.

"Look, your not going to hurt him. You'll have to go through me first." I said still holding him. I saw a small shadow that looked like Fluttershys body form.

"I don't want to hurt you, and I'm sorry I did. I can explain. Just don't harm the water or the environment of this garden please." A soft voice called. She stepped out of the dark. It was Fluttershy, how was I not surprised.

"Hey, Chrome it's fine. She won't hurt you." He pulled his head out of his little ball and jumped out of my arms, like a little dog.

He went up to her and put out his left hoof. "I think we got off on the wrong hoof. I'm IP 2859A, or Chrome as master calls me. I do like the name Chrome so I don't mind it at all." Fluttershy stuck out her hoof and shook his.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Chrome. I'm very sorry that I hit you against the wall. Twilight told us about how you stole her love. When in reality you were there first. We just felt bad for her and so she kind of made us. Again I'm sorry." She apologized in the nicest way she could. Her voice was crystal clear but also so soft that I felt I couldn't hear her at some points.

"It's absolutely fine. You were forced to and that wasn't very friend like of her was it?" Chrome said.

"Yeah, but she's still my friend and the best I can do to stop it is just tell her that you're already in a relationship." Fluttershy said as a bird landed on her left hoof.

"Well hey, we're just about to go explore this fine garden. Would you care to show us around Fluttershy?" I asked. I was hoping she would because she would take forever and I would be able to enjoy this nights breeze.

"Sure, I was just about to head towards the ball doors so yeah. I guess I could take you around." Fluttershy answered. She started to walk and talk about the water, grass, and everything around us. As we reached the final stretch of the tour she started to dance around the fields near the doors.

"Umm, we'll be going now. Thanks for the tour." I said. I was wondering what she was dancing for.

"YOUR GOING TO LOVE ME!" We heard her scream and then crash through the door.

"Just keep walking." Chrome started walking backwards, I did as he did.
