Double Date
Chapter 1: 1. The Day After
Load Full Story Next Chapter“So tell me what it is exactly that you love about me?” Twilight Sparkle asked her girlfriend, Sunset Shimmer as they walked hand in hand together to school the day after their intimate heart to heart discussion in the library.
“I don’t know.” Sunset blushed. “It’s difficult to put it into words. You’re like totally uber smart and yet you have this innocent naivety about you that’s just totally adorkable. The glasses are just kiss your face all over hot and you sort of remind me of what I was like when I first came through the portal into this world, only I wasn’t quite so innocent back then, believe me! In fact, I’m so glad that you didn’t know me back then, otherwise I really don’t think that you’d love me like you do now.”
“I find that hard to believe.” Twilight replied shyly. “I mean the other girls have told me a bit about what you used to be like, but look at you now! You’ve grown so much as a person. The way you were there for me at Camp Everfree and helped me to overcome my fear of the magic in me and of becoming Midnight Sparkle again. I think it wasn’t long after that I realised I was falling hopelessly in love with you. But then you were really big into shipping Timber and I that I didn’t think there was any hope that you’d ever feel the same way back!”
“I was only doing that because I thought it was what you wanted. Even if it meant seeing you happy with someone else, it didn’t matter to me because at least you would be… yeah, happy!” Sunset explained. “When you came out and told me that you were in love with me… God, I thought I’d fallen asleep in the library for a minute and that I was dreaming and that any minute now I’d wake up with my head in my books and you wouldn’t be there.”
“Well you’re not dreaming, silly!” Twilight smiled and she squeezed Sunset’s hand. She stopped walking and pulled her girlfriend gently closer so that she could kiss her tenderly on the lips.
Sunset responded, holding Twilight’s hands in both of hers as they kissed.
It was Twilight who parted first, albeit reluctantly, but she was smiling mischievously.
“See, did that feel like a dream to you?”
“Nuh uh!” Sunset replied and she couldn’t keep her own face from cracking into probably the sappiest and drippiest smile she had ever worn in her life.
They continued to walk hand in hand towards the school.
“Ooh we should go on our first date this weekend!” Twilight suddenly declared excitedly.
“Sounds great to me!” Sunset agreed. “Where do you wanna go? Dinner and a movie sounds so cliché, but sometimes you can’t beat the classics!”
The girls giggled at this.
“Dinner and a movie it is.” Twilight concurred. “It just so happens that the new Daring Do movie is out this weekend!”
“Then I think we’ve got ourselves a date!” Sunset declared happily.
It was at that moment that they arrived at the school where their friends were waiting for them by the plinth that had once held the Canterlot High School statue.
“Ooh did somebody say date?” Rarity asked in excitement, clutching her girlfriend, Applejack’s hand eagerly.
Sunset and Twilight looked at each other and their eyes conveyed to each other just one thing:
“Uh oh!”
