After the movie had ended and the two prior adults left the theater, they made way to a local restaurant to grab some food before heading back to Ponyville. They found a small diner just down the street and headed inside, taking a seat in a booth and opening up their menus. After a couple minutes a waitress trotted over to them smiling.

"Now isn't this adorable. Are you two out on a date?" She spoke playfully.

"Eeyup." Midnight smirked causing Twilight to giggle.

"Yes we are. I would like a tofudog and some hayfries please. And a applejuice for my drink." Twilight smiled hoofing her menu to the slightly shocked waitress.

"Same here, make mine a double though." Midnight smiled but stopped, seeing Twilight cocking a brow at him. "What? I'm hungry."

"Alright then, that'll be twenty bits please." The waitress smiled.

"So we have to pay before we get our food?" Midnight asked cocking a brow.

"Unfortunalty yes, we have had a string of younger customers coming in and leaving without paying so we had to impliment this new rule to keep them out of here." She sighed but stopped as Midnight pressed to silver bits forward.

"I-I'll be right back with your order." She spoke in slight shock.

Twilight giggled looking across the table at Midnight. "She seemed surprised that you went ahead and paid for it."

"I think she was more surprised to see a child with that much money." Midnight chuckled.

After roughly ten minutes of waiting the waitress came back out with the food sitting it onto the table. "Enjoy your meal." She smiled as she turned back toward the kitchen.

"Miss." Midnight spoke up catching her attention.

"Yes?" She smiled turning back to the table, but looked down seeing a silver bit. She looked back up to Midnight with a questioning glance.

"It a tip sugar." He smirked giving her a wink. She smiled picking up the bit and placing it into her apron trotting happily back to the kitchen.

"Midnight, your going to cause her to get mixed signals if you keep flirting like that." Twilight giggled before taking a drink of her juice.

"That's the point. Being a kid is a lot of fun since the adults don't really know how to react to certain things." He chuckled taking a bit of his tofu dog.

"Hey there. How are we doing this evening?" A young colt just a bit bigger than Midnight said as he trotted up to the table giving an evil grin. Three other young colts standing behind him.

"Doing fine, just taking in a quick bite before heading home." Midnight smirked taking a quick sip of his drink to wash down the tofu. He turned to the small group smiling. "Anything I can do for you fella's?

The three younger colts behind the largest of the group chuckled softly as the apparent boss of the group spoke up.

"I noticed ya paid for your meal and gave that horse a big tip." He spoke but was cut off.

"Watch your mouth, You do not call any mare a horse!" Twilight snapped causing them to stare at her in slight shock and confusion.

"What did you say you little horse?" He snapped back causing her to recoil away, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I don't understand, how is the word horse used in this world." Midnight scratched his head looking between the small group and Twilight.

"It means whore you pintsized idiot." One of the guys from the group spoke up eliciting a chuckle from the rest.

"Why what are you going to do about it squirt? Beat us up?" The boss laughed.

"Oh, maybe we can take this pretty little thing home with us and have some fun with her." One of the lackey's spouted as he moved closer to Twilight but stopped as he bumped into something invisible.

"Midnight, go easy of them. They are just young colts afterall." Twilight sniffed.

"Shutup you little horse! GCK!" The boss shouted but suddenly stopped as he was lifted from the ground by an invisible force around his neck. The other three began to run but the same happened to them.

"MIDNIGHT!?" Twilight shouted looking to the confused Alicorn across the table.

"It's not me. But I was about to." He chuckled watching the three flail about until they heard hoofsteps coming through a closed door from the kitchen.

"I am tired of you little shits always coming in here and runnin of mah customers. If I see you little dickless shits come in here one more time, so help me by Celestia I will denut your sorry flanks and mail whats left to yer folks. Not get yer sorry flanks outta my shop and don't come back!" A stout looking Unicorn snapped at the four as he tossed them through the window of the diner then used his magic to return the glass back into its pre shattered state. Twilight and Midnight gawked at him before smiling.

"That was awesome." Midnight chuckled.

"Thank you for that." Twilight smiled.

"No problem you two. It's little punks like that who keep runnin mah busniess off in the first place. They come in here and goad ponies until they get a few bits from them. After seeing ya give a silver bit to mah waitress there, they were gonna hurt ya if they didn't get what they wanted." He spoke giving a sigh.

"Hey dickhead! Eat this!" Shouted a pony from outside as a molotov was thrown through the window of the diner shattering and sending fire all over.

"Dammit!" Shouted the unicorn chef as he began putting out the fire but couldn't due to the fuel spreading all around him.

"Get out of here kids. Get to safety." He shouted but stopped as he noticed Midnight's horn ablaze with magic. Twilight, the chef and the waitress looked on in shock as they watched the fire flicker then stop and began to move backwards coming back together. The shards of the shattered bottle slowly coming together and closing around the fuel then fly slowly back through the window then stopping just outside as the bottle glowed before disappearing through a small portal.

Midnight fell forward onto the table giving a large gasp of breath.

"Damn that was harder than I thought it would be." He sighed before taking a drink of his juice. Twilight and the chef staring at him in disbelief.

"Midnight. Did you just use time altering magic?" Twilight asked in shock.

"Yes, why?" he asked wiping his mouth.

"Kid, that magic is the highest known level of magic possible. To make it just reverse like that is possibly the hardest spell known. And you did it without breaking a sweat. Just who are you anyway?" The chef asked in shock.

"Name's Midnight Flame, don't let my size fool you." He smirked but stopped as the chef and the waitress bowed to him. "Come on now, no need for that. I'm just another pony on a date." He chuckled causing them to rise and looked to each other.

"Please, if you won't let us bow to you then let us........." He stopped seeing Midnight lift his hoof.

"No need. Just think of me as another pony and not royalty. If you have to think of me as something other than a pony, then think of me as a friend." He smiled.

"Very well then, but may I ask one thing?" He smirked.

"Yes?"

"Why are you a midget?" The chef smirked causing Midnight to literally fall out of the booth. Twilight laughing loudly at the comment.

After a brief explanation the cook had been filled in. The chef was against filly foolers and seeing royalty as a child and on a date with a filly didn't sit well with him until everything had been cleared up. The two children finished up their meal and quickly teleported back to the library.

"Spike, we're back. *yawn*" Twilight shouted as they walked through the entrance to the library.

They stopped though listening to a loud snore. Twilight looking to Midnight who just rolled his eyes.

"I bet he fell asleep eating ice cream again." Twilight snorted as she went into the kitchen to see a purple baby dragon laying on the table. A large ice cream covered spoon in his claws along with a half eaten tub of ice cream at his side. Twilight gave a sigh picking up the ice ream and placing it back into the fridge, then picking up the sleeping dragon and carrying him upstairs to place him in his basket bed.

*yawn* "I think its about time for me to get some sleep." Twilight smiled through droopy eyes.

"I think I'll join you. It has been a long day." Midnight smiled fixing her bed as she crawled up into it. He quickly jumped in letting Twilight snuggle up to him as he tucked the cover in around them. Eyes closing slowly as sleep began to take hold of them.
