Soldiers of Fortune
Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Date preparations and the negotiator.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterGetting the T-90 back to base took a little longer than expected for the mercs, for one it had taken them quite some time find the crystal empire through the snow again and even had trouble raising Vick on coms. when they finally made it they were greeted with a large crowd gathered around the T-90 and some of the fillies and colts wanting to climb it to see what it is like to ride it but were stopped by the crystal guards and Vick despite some of them giving her puppy dog eyes, she almost caved when the citizens had felt the strong gust of wind that the Chinooks were producing as they got closer to the ground and drew their attention away from the tank. Johnny and Tyler exited the Chinooks wearing pilot suits with their signature helmets and instructed Dimitri to drive the T-90 to a more open area so they can airlift it back to base but would have to take a train back to the town they were stationed in where a transport would be present, to which would be a Two and a half day journey so they would be sitting for a while but everything on the train was complimentery for the humans on the train so they couldn't complain, right now they were watching the Chinooks lift their T-90 and take it back to where the Punisher squad was based, while their tank was hauled off Dimitri asked Boris to discritely smuggle their rifles on to the train which he managed to do by some miricle, now they were sitting in the train car watching the scenery go by while some checked their weapons.
''So colonel, What do you think of this situation?'' Boris asked Dimitri.
''I'm a little usure myself Boris, this whole situation is confusing to me.'' Dimitri said to his comrade.
While Dimitri and Boris were talking Anton used the time to check his weapon to see if there were any damage but found none.
*Knock* *Knock*
All three Russians jumped a bit from the knock and hid their weapons before opening the door, upon opening the door they were greeted by Vick who had brought a cart waitress.
''Guys I brought back some food.'' Vick told them getting a drink from the cart.
''Oh, um thanks.'' Dimitri said grabbing a plate with fish while Boris did the same and Anton grabbed a salad.
As the three ate in peace Vick took a seat across from them with her own dish containing a salad and a small plate of cookies on the side, Vick would occasionally look at the Russians between bites, the first two were acting casual but the youngest one looked nervous like he was hiding something.
''Something wrong?'' Vick asked the youngest Russian.
''W-что вы говорите? (W-what are you saying?)'' Anton asked.
''He doesn't speak English little one.'' Dimitri tells her.
''What?'' Vick asked.
''Anton doesn't speak English American.'' Dimitri tells her. ''But I must admit I am curious to see someone as young as yourself as a soldier in the Punisher squad.'' He says with a bit of surprise.
''I may be young but I'm no little girl.'' Vick tells him.
''Yes I can tell by the look in your eyes young one, they tell me that you've seen much combat.'' Dimitri states.
''More than you know.'' Vick says taking a bite of her salad.
(Skies over Ponyville)
Johnny and Tyler were flying over Ponyville with the T-90 in tow trying to be careful not to fly too close for too far from each other as to cause a crash landing and dropping close to a hundred tons worth of iron and steel onto any of the residents of the small town, something like that wouldn't sit well with Johnny and Tyler wouldn't be able to forgive himself if that happened.
''[So you gonna tell me what you meant?]'' Johnny asked his younger brother.
''[Later right now we need to get this thing back to base, then I'll explain what I can.]'' Tyler says over the coms.
''[*Sigh* Fine lets hurry up.]'' Johnny says over the coms.
The two mercs finally arrive over the base with the tank and carefully begin a slow decent to the ground and released the tow cables as soon as the tank touched the ground where a few combat drones were on standby ready to take the tank into the hangar for processing.
''[Alright lets land these puppies.]'' Johnny said moving the Chinook to a landing pad.
''[You go it.]'' Tyler said as he waited for his brother to land then landed his Chinook next to his. Exiting the helicopters Johnny and Tyler saw the drones driving the T-90 into a nearby hangar, Johnny called a nearby drone and gave it orders to take a Humvee and to have it wait at the train station until the train from the crystal empire arrives.
''Okay so you gonna tell me what you meant by them?'' Johnny asked his brother.
''Yah but first let me ask you this, when we first went to our welcome party what was the thing that stood out the most in this town, what did you see the most of?'' Tyler asked him.
''I guess I saw a lot of women, why?'' Johnny asked sounding confused.
''Exactly, here in equestria the male female ratio is greatly unbalanced with the females outnumbering the males five to one, it's a little more balanced in some of the bigger cities but in smaller towns like Ponyville and maybe even Canterlot with probably thirty percent of their guard being male and the other seventy percent of the guard being completely female, I'm not too sure how it is in other royal guard divisions in equestria.'' Tyler explains to Johnny who's paying attention to every detail. ''But anyway my point is that polygamy is a common thing for most ponies here.'' He says getting a surprised look from Johnny.
''Wow ok this is going to take some getting used to.'' Johnny said trying to process the information he just heard.
''I also noticed that most of the women at out welcome party were looking at you with dreamy eyes Johnny.'' Tyler said with a smirk.
''Yeah I'm not looking for a relationship right now.'' Johnny tells him.
''Oh yes you are asshole, Stop living in the past and get back out there!'' Wrath yells causing Johnny to rub his left ear.
''You ok?'' Tyler asked him.
''Yeah just some weird ringing in my ear.'' Johnny told him. Johnny then turned around and started walking to the house.
''Hey where you going?'' Tyler asked as his brother left.
''To get some normal clothes on!'' Johnny said walking to the house. ''I suggest you do the same.'' He said reaching the house.
Tyler followed him wanting to get into some normal clothes as well, though the military look was cool and all Tyler didn't want to wear it all the time, wearing the same clothes for a long time is uncomfortable and Tyler would know from his time in Bolivia.
Entering the house Tyler went upstairs and walked over to his room to change out of his gear, walking to his closet he selected a pair of black pants, a grey t-shirt and a black zip up hoodie, setting his clothes on his bed he removed his helmet and his boots before stripping off his pilots suit.
''*Sniff* *sniff* man I need a shower.'' Tyler said placing his clothes on his dresser and grabs his sleepwear that consisted of pair of grey sweats and a grey muscle shirt.
Entering the bathroom Tyler stripped of his briefs and took a five minute shower, he then stepped out feeling refreshed and exited with a towel around his waist and entered his room where he got a fresh pair of briefs and put on his sleep wear and climbed into bed.
''Gonna be one hell of a day tomorrow.'' He said closing his eyes and letting sleep take him.
(The next day)
Tyler was awoken by the sound of his alarm, looking at time it read 5:10 AM Tyler had grown accustomed to waking up very early from all of the training that Johnny had put him through and to be honest Tyler kind of liked it, it gave him more time to do stuff, he got out of bed and did some stretches to loosen up his body.
''*Yawn* Time for a morning run.'' He says going into his dresser and pulling out a black pair or running pants with a under armor shirt to match and grabbing a weighted vest from his closet. Getting changed he went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and went downstairs for a quick breakfast which consisted of a banana, an apple and a glass of milk.
''Johnny's probably in his mad science lab.'' He says with a small chuckle and walking out to start his run, before he could start he remembered that he had forgot his camel pack and walked back to his room to grab it, after filling it up he walked out the front door and began running along the fence of the base.
Running along the base fences Tyler started with a brief jog for ten minutes before he started to run, as he was running he could spot the trees of Sweet Apple Acres south orchard come into view. Even though it was through the view of a chain linked fence he found the view quite beautiful, during his run it wasn't long before Tyler had heard someone call his name.
''Howdy Tyler!'' A voice called.
Tyler looked and saw that it was non other than Applejack who called him. ''Hey Applejack how's it going?'' He says stopping to greet her.
''Petty good if I do say so myself, how have you've been sugarcube?'' Applejack asked.
''Been better AJ, been better.'' He tells her.
''What are you doing up so early, not even Apple bloom is up this early?'' Applejack asked.
''Oh I'm getting my early workout in starting with a five mile run.'' He says getting an impressed look from her.
''Five miles that's mighty Impressive there, what's that thing you're wearing there?'' She asked pointing at the vest he's wearing.
''It's a weighted vest for exercising, it weighs about 30 lbs and the thing on my back is called a camel pack.'' He tells her.
''Why are you wearing that thing for and what's a camel pack?'' She asked puzzled.
''It's to increase our stamina and running speed and the camel pack is just for carrying our drinking water, our job requires us to stay in top shape.'' He tells her.
''That's quite the commitment.'' Applejack says with a look of surprise. ''So how far are you running?'' She asked.
''Like I said five miles.'' He tells her
''No ah mean where you running to?'' She asked him.
''Oh that's what you meant, I'm running to the flight tower over there.'' Tyler says pointing to the tower.
Applejack looked to where he was pointing and saw a tower a few miles out.
''You're running all the way out there with that weight on you.'' AJ said with an impressed tone in her voice.
''Hey there is no shortcut to fitness AJ.'' He tells her with a small smile. ''Anyway I believe I've taken up enough of your time and I have to continue my work out, later.'' He says running off.
''Later Tyler!'' Applejack says going back to her chores.
(Sometime later)
After Tyler finished his run he walked back to the house drenched in sweat and his camel pack was half empty, walking into the house he was greeted by Riley who was sitting happily with his tail wagging rapidly.
''Hey boy how you doing huh?'' Tyler asked giving him a pat on the head. ''Come on boy les get you something to eat.'' He said going to the kitchen with Riley following him, Tyler then grabbed Riley's water and food bowl and filled them with fresh water and dog food and laid them down for Riley to enjoy after that was done he went upstairs to take a much needed shower.
Entering his room Tyler stripped off the weighted vest and set it out on a chair to dry and opened his window so the smell doesn't stink up his room after which he entered the bathroom and took a quick shower and got dressed in the clothes that he set out.
''Alright it's 6:43 AM I think I got time for a quick game or two.'' Tyler says rooting through his video game collection. ''Hmm I feel like fighting off some necromorphs.'' He says popping Dead Space one into his Xbox one.
(Twenty minutes later)
After completing the first few chapters of the game Tyler decided to go fix himself something to eat in the kitchen.
''I wonder what we have any stuffed bell peppers left?'' Tyler thought to himself.
Opening the fridge Tyler was greeted with the very thing he was craving.
''Yes Jackpot, four left I should probably leave the other two for Johnny.'' He says grabbing two bell peppers and placing them on a paper plate and putting it in the microwave for a minute and thirty seconds checking the fridge again Tyler saw that some of the fruits and vegetables had gone bad. ''Ah shit, looks like I have to go into hydroponics and get some fresh ones.'' He said grabbing a trash bag.
After tossing the spoiled fruits and vegetables in the trash Tyler went down into the basement and into the sub-levels, after walking for twenty minutes and getting lost a few times he finally found the door to the hydroponics lab.
''Finally, Johnny really has to start making a layout of these hallways.'' He says opening the door to the lab.
''Now let see what's growing in our little garden of Eden.'' Tyler says browsing the rows of fresh produce, grabbing a nearby plastic bin he starts selecting some onions, peppers, cauliflower, carrots, strawberries, apples, and some oranges. ''This should be enough.'' He said walking out the door and back to the basement.
(Sometime later)
Tyler exits the sub-levels and walks out of the basement with the produce in hand and walks into the kitchen to restock the fridge.
''Next time I'm bringing Riley with me.'' He says with annoyance.
After restocking the fridge he decided to go take a drive into town to familiarize himself with the town since the show doesn't really show much of it, grabbing his keys from the keyring he walked to the door to the garage.
''Riley want to go for a ride in the car?'' He asked getting an excited bark for his canine friend. ''I knew you would, come on boy.'' He said opening the garage.
Entering the garage Tyler opened the door to his car and let Riley climb in then getting in the car himself checking the glove compartment he found a Glock with two mags.
''Lets go see the town boy.'' Tyler said pushing the button for the garage door.
The ponies of Ponyville were going about their day shopping at the stalls chatting with friends or just enjoying the day, Applejack and Apple bloom were selling apples to ponies or just having a conversation.
''So Apple bloom how have your studies been?'' Applejack asked.
''They're doing fine Applejack, but ah am struggling a bit with mah math.'' Apple bloom tells her sister.
''Have you tried asking for help?'' Applejack asked her.
''Ah have but Twilight isn't the easiest to understand and Scoot and Sweetie aren't doing any better.'' Apple bloom says.
Both sisters were interrupted by a familiar sound coming from the entrance of the town, nearby ponies looked to see a red vehicle approaching the town.
''Hey isn't that Tyler's car thingy?'' Apple bloom said.
''And isn't that Riley too?'' Applejack says pointing at the dog who had its head out the window.
As the car came to a slow stop Tyler pulled up and parked next to the stand and got out to greet them.
''Hey guys.'' Tyler said greeting them.
''Howdy Tyler.'' Apple bloom said.
''Morning Tyler, how was your run?'' Applejack asked him.
''Exhausting especially with the weighted vest, but its needed for exercise.'' He tells her getting a confused look from Apple bloom.
''Weighted vest, what are y'all talkin about? What weights?'' Apple bloom asks.
Tyler then told her about his workout schedule and the gear he uses for it getting a surprised look from Apple bloom.
''Golly that sure is a long run.'' Apple bloom says impressed.
''So what are you doing in town today Tyler?'' Applejack asked.
''I came for two reasons, one to explore the town and two, I wanted to ask Scootaloo something.'' He says letting Riley out.
''Hi boy!'' Apple bloom says greeting the dog who was just as happy to see her as she was him.
''So do you girls know where I can find Scootaloo?'' He asked.
''Ah think she might be at work at the bowling alley.'' Applejack tells him.
''She works at the bowling alley?'' Tyler asked.
''Yah it was the only place that was hiring at the time and Scoots wanted to earn her own money and not have to rely her parents giving her an allowance.'' Apple bloom tells him.
''Wow that's very grown up of her.'' Tyler says with surprise. ''Where's Sweetie belle work then?'' He asked.
''Sweetie belle got a job at the local ice cream shop a couple of blocks from Sugarcube Corner.'' Apple bloom tells the teenage merc.
''And you work the apple stand with your sister.'' Tyler says getting a nod from both apple sisters.
''Yeah but most times ah help Big mac on the farm.'' Apple bloom says.
''Yeah I help my brother out with stuff around the base too, gets really tiring after words.'' He says with Riley sitting next to him. ''Come on Riley, let explore.'' He said getting a bark from Riley.
As Tyler and Riley walked off to Scootaloo's job Tyler was unaware that Apple bloom was watching him leave with a small blush on her face that didn't go unnoticed by her big sister who looked at with a small smile.
''Apple bloom. You're blushing.'' Applejack says with a smirk.
''Am not!'' Apple bloom says with her blush growing deeper.
It took Tyler some time to find the bowling alley and had to ask for directions from some of the locals who for some reason asked for his autograph or were too nervous to speak to him but eventually he got the directions to the bowling ally, Tyler was standing in front of the building he was looking for, he was about to enter when he saw a sign on the door that read no pets allowed.
''Sorry boy, looks like you'll have to stay out here, don't worry I won't be long.'' He says entering the building while Riley take a small nap outside.
Entering the building Tyler was greeting with what he expected in a bowling alley, or at least one in the mlp universe. (Was the best one I could find.)
''Now lets see if I can find her.'' Tyler says walking to the front counter. ''Excuse me do you know where I can find Scootaloo?'' He asked the mare at the counter whos uniform consisted of a pink short sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans, she had a board expression on her face but her expression soon changed to one of excitement when she laid eyes on him.
''Oh. My. Faust!'' The mare squealed. ''You're one of the humans that have been all over the news!'' She exclaimed making him a bit uncomfortable from the attention it was attracting.
The whole building was silent as ponies everywhere were now staring at him with wide eyes while some of the younger mares were looking at him with half lidded eyes.
''Oh shit.'' Tyler said looking nervous.
Scootaloo was in the back of the building putting away towels and organizing the bowling shirts, she was glad she was able to get a job and make her own money for a change rather then rely on the allowance her parents give her, her job was good and simple, sometimes she worked the concession stand ,sometimes she worked the front register, as she was finishing her work she decided to go grab a snack from the vending machine in the front. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a commotion at the front.
''Now what's going on?'' Scootaloo said as she began walking to the front only to see a large group of ponies crowding an unlucky pony that she couldn't see asking all kinds of questions.
''I can't believe it!'' A pony yelled.
''I'm actually meeting one in the flesh! Shouted another.
Now she was starting to get curious, who were these ponies talking about and why was it such a big deal, as she got closer she heard a voice that she recognized.
''Listen people I'm only looking for a friend of mine.''
Scootaloo pushed to the front of the crowd to see Tyler with a very nervous look on his face as more and more ponies crowd him.
''Tyler?'' Scootaloo said getting his attention.
Tyler's expression turned from one nervousness to one of relief as he saw Scootaloo.
''Scoot, a little help please.'' Tyler said as a few mares were getting a little too close for comfort.
Seeing the distress on his face she placed herself between Tyler and the crowd.
''Will you ponies calm down, I know he's a human and all but it doesn't mean that you guys need to crowd him!'' Scootaloo shouts getting some of the ponies to back off a bit.
''Thanks Scoots, I was beginning to a little more worried there.'' Tyler said wiping a bit of sweat from his brow.
''What are you doing here anyway Tyler?'' Scootaloo asked slightly confused.
Tyler became a bit nervous as he didn't want the crowd of ponies to hear what he wanted to ask her.
''D-do you think I can ask you behind closed doors? I don't think I have the guts to say this in front of a live audience.'' Tyler says gesturing to the crowd of ponies around them.
Now Scootaloo was curious to what he wanted to tell her, just thinking about it made her giddy on the inside.
''Alright follow me.'' Scootaloo said grabbing his hand and took him to the back some members of the crowd tried to follow but were stopped by some of the employees saying that only members of the staff are allowed to go in the back, some understood and went back to bowling while others tried to bribe the employees but were still denied because they didn't want to lose their job.
Tyler was blushing deeply as Scootaloo was holding his hand, little did he know that she was blushing as well. They had entered the room the Scootaloo was previously in, once she let go of his hand he blush under control unaware that Scootaloo was trying to do the same.
''So what was it you wanted to talk to me about?'' Scootaloo asked finally calming herself down.
''W-well um y-you see um, I was wondering if y-you're not doing anything that you would l-like to go out?'' Tyler asked nervously.
Scootaloo was deeply blushing when she heard his question never has anypony asked her out on a date because she was told she too tomcoltish, but here she is getting asked out on a date, by a human no less! Taking a deep breath She answered.
''Y-yes. I would like that.''
Tyler was walking out from the back door of the bowling alley because he didn't want to deal with or get mobbed by ponies again, but before he walked to the front of the alley he was silently celebrating the fact that he got a date. With Skootaloo no less, after getting it out of his system he walked to the front of the bowling alley where Riley was being petted by a few fillies and colts and was loving the attention, Tyler threw on his hood and called out to him.
''Come on boy lets go.'' Tyler said getting his attention.
''Aww.'' The fillies and colt say before returning to their parents.
Tyler begins walking and as he's walking he begins to take in the sights memorizing every building that he saw, as he was walking toward the market place he heard a commotion to his left.
''Please just leave me alone.'' A female voice said.
Tyler looked to see that a group of teenagers mostly male while one of them was female were crowding a young teenage mare, she had a brown coat, a two tone orange mane and tail and reddish brown eyes and was almost the same height as him, she wears a pair of blue pants, a yellow t-shirt, and a red hooded jacket.
''Come on sweet thing come to our party, its gonna be fun.'' One teenager said, he was a Pegasus male with a yellow coat wearing red pants a blue shirt with a black vest.
''Yeah it'll be fun, especially with you there.'' Another teen male said, he was a Unicorn with a white coat wearing cargo shorts and a grey hoodie with a blue hat.
One member of the group was a grey earth pony male who was the tallest of them and chose to be silent but his smile said it all, he wore a pair of baggy grey pants and a vest what drew Tyler's attention was his Cutie marks being a pair of boxing gloves, instead of them being on his hands like he'd seen with Scootaloo and the other Crusaders his were on his shoulders, Tyler made a note to ask Twilight about this next time he saw her. Seeing how much distress the young mare was in Tyler decided to to make his presence known.
''Hey buddy take a hint, the lady said no.'' The group of ponies looked behind them to see a figure with a dog that closely resembled a wolf the unknown pony was wearing a hoodie that partially hid his face and had a very intimidating presence.
''W-who the hay are you!?'' The first male asked trying not sound intimidated.
''Yeah can't you see we're busy!'' The second male said glaring at him.
''Yeah get lost creep!'' Shouted the mare of the group, she looked out place with these guys as her outfit consisted of something that a private school student would wear.
''Do your parents know the kind of company you keep?'' Tyler asked her with a raised brow.
''Shut up!'' The mare shouted in annoyance.
''These guys bothering you girl?'' Tyler asked the girl they were cornering.
''They keep trying to get me to go to some party when I told them no.'' The cornered mare tell him.
Tyler didn't know what these guys had in mind for the mare but he could tell from the looks they were giving her that they only wanted one thing, not wanting to get into a senseless fight he decided to see if those negotiation lessons he learned from Grandpa Freddie paid off.
''Do you guys really think that your actions are a good idea? Look around you, everypony's been watching you guys this whole time some even pulled out their phones, do you really think that your little activity would go unnoticed even if the mare that you lot cornered agreed to go with you and she somehow disappeared or is found in a less then presentable manner then the local authorities would get involved. There would be questions, investigations and judging from the amount of witnesses I don't think it would take them long to put wanted posters with your faces on them all over the town and possibly in Canterlot and how long do you think it would be before you guys are found and hauled off to the Canterlot dungeons?'' Tyler says with a calm but small smile on his face. The group of delinquents were sweating bullets at the mention of the dungeons and all of the points that he was pointing out and were starting to second guess their whole day.
''H-hey man relax w-we were just joking around hehe.'' The first male said not wanting to get in trouble.
''Yeah man just a harmless prank.'' The second male said sweating.
Tyler was finding their squirming to be a bit funny but he didn't show it but decided to give the group a deal, leave the girl alone and walk away or take a chance with the authorities, not wanting to take the chances the authorities they agreed and left but not before giving him the 'I'm watching you look', after they left Tyler was about to leave but was approached by the young mare.
''Excuse me.''
Tyler turned around to see the teenage mare that he saved from the group of misfits looking at him with a small blush on her face.
''T-thanks for the help.'' She said shyly.
''No problem, I couldn't just let them harass you and do god knows what to you.'' He said unintentionally making a chill go down her spine.
''Y-yeah thanks for that, what's your name?'' She asked him.
''It's Tyler, Tyler Valentine.'' He tells her.
''That doesn't sound like a pony name?'' She asked confused.
''That's because it isn't.'' Tyler replied.
''It isn't?'' she asked.
''No it's a human name.'' He said lifting his hood making her jaw hit the floor.
''Y-y-you're the human from the n-news!'' She said stuttering over her words.
''Just one of six humans in this small little in his small not so quiet town, I don't think I got your name.'' Tyler states.
''O-oh right it's J-Joy Stick, my name is Joy Stick.'' She tells him.
''Oh! And what is your talent?'' Tyler asked her.
Joy showed him the back of her hand for him to see D-pad. ''My cutie mark shows my love for gaming, I hope to make a career out of it or make my own video games!'' She said with enthusiasm.
''So you either want to be a pro gamer or a game designer?'' Tyler asked getting a nod from her.
''Yup!'' She says with a smile.
''Well good luck Joy!'' He said with a smile.
Tyler looked at his watch and saw that it was almost ten and decided to say his goodbyes so he could get ready for his date with Scootaloo.
Walking back through town with Riley walking beside him Tyler then realized that he had a date with Scootaloo and began to panic.
''Oh shit oh shit oh shit!'' He thought frantically as he began to panic and rushed off to his car.
(Five minutes after Tyler left)
Scootaloo waited till she was sure that Tyler as out of the building and let out a fan girl squee of excitement.
''Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh Tyler asked me on a date!'' She said with a small giddy dance, though this didn't go unnoticed by the few co-workers who were ease dropping.
''She got a date with one of the humans!? What's she got that I don't!?'' A unicorn mare thought in jealousy.
''Hey Light stream you ok?'' A grey teenage colt asked.
The jealous mare snapped out of her thoughts and looked to her left to see her Co-worker and friend Knockout, he was a grey earth pony colt who was sixteen and got his cutie mark in boxing, he loved boxing but he loved his mother more and would help her pay the bills at home with his earnings from his job.
''Yeah Knock out I'm fine.'' Light said giving him a small smile.
''You sure? You looked like somepony took the last fritter before you could get it.'' He pointed out.
''Sorry just... Distracted Knockout I'm fine." Light stream said walking off. "This is so unfair." She says walking away.
(Back to Tyler)
''Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!'' Tyler says in a panic. ''What do I do, I've never been on a date before and I don't even know what to- oof!'' Tyler was interrupted as he bumped into someone.
''Are you ok deary?'' Asked a female voice.
Tyler looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Cake that he had bumped into. ''Oh Mrs. Cake sorry I didn't see you there.'' He says with a nervous smile.
Mrs. Cakes mother intuition kicked in and told her something was bothering him. ''Is everything alright deary?'' She asked with concern.
''sigh No Mrs. Cake everything's not alright.'' Tyler says looking a little sad.
''What's wrong deary?''
Tyler began to tell her about the date with Scootaloo, when he told her she congratulated him on his date with the young mare, he also told her that it was his first date and he didn't knw what to do.
''Carrot was the same way when he asked me out.'' Mrs. Cake said with a giggle. ''Why don't you come with me and I will help you prepare for your date with Scootaloo.'' She said taking him by the hand as she lead him to Sugarcube Corner.
