The door to Sugercube Corner opened up with Mrs. Cake walking with Tyler and Riley in tow.

"Hi Tyler!" Pinkie Pie greeted with he usual energy.

"Hey Pinkie." Tyler said with slight nervousness.

''What's wrong Ty?'' She asked with a smile. ''Why are you sad?'' She asked him.

Tyler just looked down at the ground with a forlorn expression. ''Oh I just asked Scootaloo out on a date.'' He said not thinking.

"Gasp!!'' Pinkie gasped with shock before disappearing off out the door.

Taking notice of Pinkie's departure Tyler realized what he had told Pinkie which made things a lot more worse for him.

''Great.'' He thought to himself.

''Now why are you so worried about this Tyler?'' Mrs. Cake asked.

Tyler looked up from the ground and into the eyes of Mrs. Cake. ''I've never been on a date with a girl or in this case a mare before because of my job, always stuck behind a computer screen helping others who are down on their luck or putting scum behind bars where they belong.'' He says with half truths, he didn't want to tell her that he killed people for a living, even if they did deserve it but he didn't want to scare her and have her see him as a monster.

''I feel like I might do something stupid and ruin my chances.'' He finishes and goes back to looking at the ground.

Mrs. Cake looked at him with a look of sympathy and sat him down at a nearby table.

''Stay right there I'll be right back dearie.'' She said going behind the counter and put some strawberries in a blender for a smoothie, after a couple of seconds the smoothie was complete and she placed a cup with the frosty beverage in front of him. ''Here you go deary.''

''Oh thanks.'' Tyler says taking a sip from the fruity beverage.

''So this will be your first official date with a young mare?'' Mrs. Cake asked.

''Yeah it is, which is why I'm worried that I might do something stupid.'' Tyler says taking another sip from his smoothie.

Mrs. Cake couldn't help but smile, Carrot was the same way on their first date and was always nervous in their younger days, it's what made her love him and she wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

''How about I help you before your date Tyler?'' She tells him getting a bit of a surprised look on his face.

''You'd really do that for me?'' He asked.

''Of course dearie, what kind of mare would I be if I just let something like this happen.'' She says with a sincere smile.

Tyler couldn't help but smile at her kindness. ''Thanks Mrs. Cake, you're a real life-'' Tyler's sentence was interrupted when the door to Sugercube Corner opened to reveal a slightly miffed Rainbow and a giddy Pinkie Pie. Seeing this Tyler had but only one thought. ''Uh oh.''

''So I hear a certain someone has a date with my little sister.'' Rainbow says looking at Tyler with a small glare, she walks up to Tyler and grabs him by his jacket looking him directly in the eyes. ''If you hurt her in any way, I will make you life a living Tartarus You got that!''

Now it was Tyler's turn to get mad as he gave Rainbow the same look she gave him. ''Do you honestly think that I would intentionally hurt Scootaloo, or any mare? What you think I'm some punkass everyday teenager who's looking to get laid so he go brag about it to his friends, newsflash Cider junkie, I would never hurt Scootaloo or any mare in any fashion.'' Rainbow was starting to slightly regret her actions as she and Pinkie could see small layers of ice building up on him, they were able to notice the temperature in the room drop slightly, Mrs. Cake began to worry for the poor colt as she has never seen anypony's magic act up like this, not even Pumpkin's magic did this, it also frightened Riley a bit as he was hiding under one of the tables.

''Now Tyler, I understand Rainbow's actions were uncalled for but it's not worth getting mad over.'' Mrs. Cake said placing her hand on his shoulder slightly shivering from the ice buildup.

This seemed to calm him down a bit as he sees that he's letting his emotions get the best of him and Johnny had told him not to let his emotions get out of control as they might be connected to his powers. taking a deep breath he looks to Mrs. Cake.

''Where's you bathroom Mrs. Cake? I need to cool my head for a bit.'' He said making Pinkie giggle at his unintended pun.

''Of course, it's the first door on the left dearie.'' She tell him.

''Thank you.'' He said going to the restroom.

As the door closed Mrs. Cake became quite cross with Rainbow and began to have a hushed conversation on how her actions toward Tyler were uncalled for and told her to apologize or risk a two week ban from Sugarcube Corner, agreeing with Mrs. Cake Rainbow agreed to apologize to Tyler when he got back.

(Bathroom)

Tyler entered the bathroom and started patting off the small layers of ice that had built on him and after he was done tried to splash water on his face, try being the keyword as his ice magic froze some of the water as it touched his hands.

''You have got to be kidding me.💢'' He said with a look of annoyance.

Having had enough, Tyler took some deep breaths and shut off the sink and exited the bathroom and saw the girls speaking and Rainbow looking a little ashamed.

''What'd I miss?'' Tyler said shaking his hands free of the ice that was on them.

Rainbow looked at Tyler for a moment and spoke. ''Listen Tyler... I wanted to apologize, it was uncool of me to act the way I did, I'm sorry.'' She said hanging her head in shame.

"Sigh look Rainbow I get it, you're only trying to look after Scootaloo, it's your job as a big sister and besides I'd probably do the same for Vick.'' He said holding out his fist. ''Friends?''

Rainbow looked at his fist before bumping it with her own. ''Friends dude.''

Shortly after making up Tyler explained his dilemma about his first date, the girls were happy to help and give him small tips on what kind of things Scootaloo enjoyed.

(Sometime later)

''Okay so we've gone over the basics of a date and the likes and dislikes of my little sister.'' Rainbow says.

''Right.'' Tyler agrees.

After spending sometime prepping Tyler for his date with the young daredevil, Tyler was still a little nervous but some words of inspiration from both Pinkie and Rainbow helped him a bit.

''Okay Riley you will have to go home for now, the drones guarding the base should let you in okay.'' Tyler says but gets a sad whine from the dog.

''It's ok Tyler, we can take Riley to go see Winona while you're out.'' Pinkie tells him.

''Yeah, Applejack been saying how she would like to have them meet one another.'' Rainbow says making Riley tilt his head.

''Sweet, I wonder how that will turn out.'' Tyler said as walks out the door of the bakery.

Walking thorough the streets of ponyville Tyler pulls out his phone to look at the time.

''2:21, Scootaloo's do to get off in a few minutes.'' Tyler thought as he begins his walk back to the bowling alley.

On the way to her place of work Tyler picked up some snacks such as fruits like and an orange and a banana, he ate the orange but left the banana for later, Tyler arrived at the bowling alley just on time to see Scootaloo walk out in regular clothes.

''Made it just in time.'' Tyler says catching her attention.

''Hey Tyler!'' Scootaloo says with a small smile. ''S-so you ready for our d-date?'' She said as a small blush appeared on her muzzle.

''Y-yeah of course.'' Tyler said scratching the back of his head nervously.

The two walked side by side for what seemed like minutes until Tyler lead her to ponyvilles fast food joint the hayburger.

''The hayburger sweet, it's a good thing too because I kinda missed lunch today.'' Scootaloo says as her stomach lets out a small growl.

''Well it's a good thing I'm buying then.'' Tyler says holding the door open for her.

''Thanks.'' She said stepping inside.

Once inside Tyler was greeted with a familiar site of a busy restaurant with hungry customers left and right. Walking up to the counter Tyler grabbed the cashiers attention.

''Excuse me mam, we'd like to place an order.''

The cashier looks up from the cash register and sees Tyler and is a bit taken back by his appearance.

''Hello.'' Tyler say to the cashier.

''H-hi welcome to the hayburger, what can I get you?'' The cashier asked.

'' Scoots what do you want, my treat.'' Tyler tells her.

''Can I get a double hayburger with cheese, a large shake and large fries.'' She asked the cashier.

''And what would you like um sir?'' The cashier asked Tyler.

Tyler looks at the menu and didn't know what to expect, every item on the menu was for a pony, hayfries, hayburgers, hayshakes and the list goes on, every item was inedible for human consumption, the only item he could get was a salad but he would have to pick out the flower pedals.

''Can I just get a salad with a water please.'' Tyler says to the cashier.

''Ok I have one double hayburger with cheese, a large shake and a large fry. And for your date a have a salad with a water, in total that's about twenty five bits sir.''

Tyler paid the bits to the cashier and took the order number and waited to be called. It didn't take long before their order was ready and they found a seat to eat their meal, the two ate in silence for a little bit before Scootaloo wanted to ask some questions.

''Hey Tyler?''

''Yeah?'' Tyler replied.

''How come you didn't get a hayburger or anything else on the menu?'' Scootaloo asked.

Tyler knew this some form of this question would come up sooner or later, he set aside his plastic fork and look to Scootaloo with a bit of uncertainty.

''Before I answer I need you to promise to not freak out okay?'' He asked her.

''Why?'' Scootaloo ask confused.

''Well it's because this answer is not just for me but also every human Scoots.'' Tyler tells her.

''O-ok, what's the answer?'' She asked him.

Tyler took a deep breath. ''Okay, have you ever seen me or Johnny eat?'' He asked.

''Yeah at the party, you and Vicky were eating cupcakes and stuff, I didn't see Johnny eat a lot though.'' She says eating one of her hayfries.

''Anything else?'' He asked.

''Well you guys didn't touch any of the other stuff, just the pastries and stuff why's that?'' She asked him.

''The thing is, humans can't eat most of the things ponies eat, we can't eat hay products or eat flowers and such, we can eat fruits and vegies but our bodies need protein Scoots.'' Tyler says.

''Like yogurt and stuff?''

''Yes and no Scoots, humans are omnivores, we need a balanced diet of all food groups, we get our protein from red meat.'' Tyler tells her causing her to nearly choke on her food.

''You guys eat meat!'' Scootaloo shouts in a whisper.

''Yes we eat meat, but not ponies if that's what you're thinking. We eat meat that comes from chickens, fish, pork and cows but I think we can scratch cow off the list since cows are sentient here so getting the amount of protein that beef provides will be a bit difficult.'' Tyler says to her. ''I hope this doesn't change you opinion about me.'' He said sounding a bit worried.

The news of Tyler other humans being omnivores was a bit of a shocker to the teen daredevil, the fact that he said that they don't eat ponies put her heart at ease and wouldn't have to worry about some ridiculous thought about ponies going missing and stuff.

''N-no it doesn't change a thing Tyler.'' She said as she resumed eating her food. The two sat in silence and enjoyed their meals till they were done with them, the exited they building and walked in a specific direction.

The two continued walking till they were standing in front of a store that sold some Wonderbolt memorabilia such as jackets, gloves, stuffed toys and posters.

''Hey Scoots you want something from the store?'' Tyler asked her.

''Um yeah sure, if you don't have a problem with it.''

Tyler unconsciously grabs her hand and leads her to the store while Scootaloo was sporting a big blush at the action, entering the store they were greeted with a few kids and parent in the store browsing and buying things for their kids.

''Welcome to Wonders and Wears, how can I help yo-'' The store owner stopped mid sentence as he got a look at Tyler.

''What?'' Tyler asked confused.

''What are you?'' The owner asked.

''Gee, how blunt'' Tyler thought with sarcasm. ''Scoots go pick out what you'd like, i'm gonna chill right here.'' He tells her.

''Oh, ok.'' Scootaloo says heading off to the shelves.

Scootaloo was browsing the shelves for anything that would catch her eye, she picked out a pair of fingerless gloves, a pair of goggles and a Wonderbolts jacket, as she was about to go to the register a small glint caught her eye, she looked to her left and saw a small bag containing two small necklaces both of which came in the form of a half heart, Scootaloo's heart skipped a beat as both half had the words 'My love' broken in half so both halves have a piece of the word, she made a mental note to come back for the necklace at a later time when she was alone. She walked over to the register where she saw Tyler having a casual chat with the owner.

''You're sure she'll like this?'' Tyler asked the owner.

''Kid, I've seen that look on a mares face a lot when it comes to couples and herds, trust me she'll love it.'' The owner said with a smile.

''I'll take it!'' He said pulling out his bit bag.

''That'll be five bits, usually they're twelve but for young love I'm willing to knock down the price a bit.'' The owner tells him.

''Sweet, thanks!'' Tyler says pulling out five bits from his bag and paying for his item and placed it in his jacket pocket.

''Hey Tyler, what'd you got there?'' Scootaloo asked approaching with her items.

''Oh it's just a little something I wanted to get for myself that's all.'' Tyler said casually. ''You find what'd you wanted?'' He asked.

''Yeah I got it all right here.'' Scootaloo said placing her items on thee counter.

''Okay the jackets is 60, the gloves are 6 and the goggles are about 5 bits, all in total that's about 71 bits.'' The owner tells him.

Scootaloo went a bit wide eyed at the price of everything Tyler was buying for her, Tyler wasn't that fazed by the price as he sort of expected it, he took out the necessary bits and paid the owner for the merchandise.

''Here you go Scoots.'' Tyler said handing her the bag with her new stuff.

''You're not bothered about the price?'' Scoots asked him.

''Of course not Scoots, I have some bits left over from my and Johnny's first job here. That and moneys not much of a problem for us.'' Tyler tells her.

''Right... I forgot about that.'' Scootaloo said as she remembers the bandit attack.

''Come on, the days not over yet.'' Tyler says holding his hand out for her to grab.

Scootaloo grabs his hand and sports a small blush as Tyler leads her through town while Tyler had a blush of his own, along the way ponies began to notice them and started to whisper quietly to each other, some had small smiles while others were shocked. As the two walked they began to hear some of the whispers, some were good while others were of shock but there were very few ponies who whispered words of disgust much to the surprise of Scootaloo, Tyler wasn't that surprised as he kind of expected it, he's read enough fanfics to know that not everypony is not open to seeing cross species relationships.

''Come on Scoots, I think I see the arcade.'' Tyler says leading her to the next spot of their date.

Entering the arcade Tyler was greeted with a familiar site of old gaming stations and regular arcade games such as Skee ball, basketball, ping pong and surprisingly enough some form of whack-a-mole called whack-a-sprite.

''which one should we try first?'' Tyler asked.

Scootaloo had only been to the arcade a few times whenever she had time to kill or wasn't hanging out with the others, she looked to the games to find the one she was looking for.

''There it is!'' Scootaloo said going up to and arcade game.

As they approached it Tyler got a good look at the title of the game.

''Street Brawler?'' Tyler asked looking confused.

''Yeah it's a pretty fun game to play.'' Scootaloo says putting a bit in the coin slot and began to play, as she played Tyler saw that the game was a ponyfied version of Street Fighter only with the characters being pony versions or a different species such as zebras, griffins, diamond dogs or even Minotaur's.

''Up for a little match Scoots?'' Tyler says holding a bit for co-op play.

''You're on!'' Scootaloo says with a confidant smirk.

(Half an hour later)

''I can't believe how you were able to pull off that combo.'' Scootaloo says walking by Tyler as they leave thee arcade.

''The game wasn't that hard to figure out, we have a similar game back where I come from.'' Tyler says walking next to her. ''The day isn't over yet.'' Tyler thought as he got one more idea that Scootaloo might like. ''Hey Scoots.''

''Yeah?'' She asked looking to him.

Tyler wanted to impress her but he wasn't sure in it was a good idea but decided to go with it anyway.

''I was just wondering if you wanted to take a ride in my car? That's if you want to?'' Tyler says looking away a bit.

Scootaloo had to stop and think a bit, She has seen Tyler drive around the base when she watched him from the clouds a few times, she wondered what it would be like to go that fast.

''Sure, sounds like it could be fun.'' Scootaloo says as some excitement enters her voice.

''Awesome, I just know you won't be disappointed, come on I'll hold your stuff.'' Tyler says to her holding out his hand.

Scootaloo gives him the bag with her stuff and they begin walking towards the marketplace where Tyler parked his car, she couldn't believe how the date was going and she was really happy. The two reached the marketplace where it was still bustling with business, as the two got to the apple stand Tyler saw that there was more busy that it was earlier as ponies were buying apples and taking their pictures with his car.

''Hi girls.'' Tyler greets the Apple sisters who looking his direction.

''Howdy Tyler.'' Applejack says as she sold another bushel of apples.

''Hi Tyler, hey Scootaloo, how was work?'' Apple bloom says to her friends.

''I see business has increased.'' Tyler said looking at the line of ponies taking pictures with his car.

"Yah ponies have been buying apples and taking their picture left an right today!'' Apple bloom says selling a bag of apples to a Pegasus mare who walks to the car to take a selfie.

''Welp I hate to burst your girls bubbles but I'm taking Scoots here for a ride in the car.'' Tyler says fishing out his keys.

"Awwww.'' The line went as many wanted have their picture taken with the car.

''Sorry everypony, but I have things to do.'' He says holding the door open for Scootaloo.

''Thanks.'' Scootaloo says getting in the passenger seat.

Tyler hops into the driver side and puts the keys into the ignition letting the engine purr for a bit before driving off towards base.

''Why are we going to your house?'' Scootaloo asked confused.

''Well the reason we're going to the base is because it's the only place I know that has asphalt roads, my car is meant for the streets, the tires aren't good on dirt roads because they don't have good enough traction.'' Tyler explains as they pass the entrance to Sweet Apple Acres.

The two sat in silence for a small while before Tyler decided to play some music for the ride, he decided on some AC/DC which Scootaloo enjoyed and found Cold Hearted Man to be her favorite so far and even started to do some air guitar as she listened to the song. Arriving at the gate of the base Tyler waits for the drones to open the gate for him, entering the base he drives to a part of the base that doesn't see much use and has a lot of turns.

''Alright Scootaloo, you ready for some fun?'' Tyler asked as revs the engine a few times.

''I was born ready!'' Scootaloo shouts in excitement.

As if on que a song that fit the situation had started playing.

''Oh hell yes.'' Tyler says as he gunned the engine making Scootaloo's back go to the back of her seat, she couldn't help but scream in excitement as she was watching the scenery pass by at a fast speed, she had never gone this fast before in her life even when she was a little filly, every time Tyler would drift around a corner had made her heart beat fast like she was on a roller coaster, time felt like it was slowing down as she looked to Tyler who was in his own world as he was racing around every corner, the smell of burning rubber, the wind rushing through her mane this was a level of excitement that she's never felt in her life and this was the best day of her life as the day she finally learned to fly. As good things come, they also have an end as Tyler pulled the car to a complete stop.

''This was the Best. Day. Ever!'' Scootaloo says in a giddy voice.

''Glad you enjoyed yourself Scootaloo.'' Tyler says with a smile. ''Well we still have half an hour, anything you want to do Scoots?'' He asked her.

''Scootaloo thought to herself for a second and she knew what she wanted to do. ''Can you teach me how to drive this?'' She asked.

Tyler thought about it, he's never had anyone or in this case any-pony in his car before and perhaps it would be good if she knew how to drive since Equestria already has cars, granted they were very old models that one would rarely see in his world anymore so it would probably be a good idea for her to get a head start if she ever got a car of her own.

''Sure.'' Tyler tells her.

''YES!'' Scootaloo shouts in celebration.

(A half hour later.)

Tyler spent the whole half hour teaching Scootaloo how to drive, he taught her the correct steering wheel position, the correct signal for turning, the correct amount of speed to use for driving, staying on the correct side of the road and the most difficult one for beginners the parallel park which Tyler had to use plastic barrels filled with water to simulate other cars, sure he could have used the other cars in the base but he didn't want to have any dents on his car, Scootaloo was a fast learner but it was better safe than sorry.

''So you get the gist of it Scoots?'' Tyler asked her.

''Yeah it's pretty easy once you know what you're doing.'' Scootaloo says placing the car in park.

''I guess I should take you home now.'' Tyler says as he notices the sun beginning to set.

''I guess so.'' Scootaloo says as she too took notice of the setting sun.

''You know what, why don't you drive.'' Tyler says surprising the Pegasus mare.

''Seriously?'' She asked.

''As a sharp knife.'' He tells her.

''Yes!'' Scootaloo shouts in celebration and hops into the drivers side.

Scootaloo starts the engine and begins to drive towards the direction of the gate where the drones had already had it opened for them and began the drive towards ponyville, Tyler decided to play some Skillet to which Scootaloo also enjoyed and decided to make a stop by Sweet Apple Acres to pick up Riley who was playing with Applejack's dog Winona and from how those happy they seemed to be with each other Tyler could see some puppies in the future, after picking up Riley Scootaloo started the drive back to ponyville where the three sat in silence with the exception of the music, she kept driving till she was just below Rainbow dashes cloud house.

''So today was fun.'' Tyler says in awkward silence.

''Y-yeah today was awesome.'' Scootaloo said with a small smile.

''I guess I'll see you later Scoots.'' Tyler says handing her stuff that he bought her.

''Yeah, b-but first there's one more thing I want to do.'' Scootaloo says walking over to Tyler.

''What would that b-''

Tyler was unable to finish as Skootaloo pulled him into a surprise kiss, the kiss lasted for about ten seconds before she pulled away with a large blush on her face.

''I'llseeyoulaterbye!'' Scootaloo says as she jets it into her home. Once inside Scootaloo leaned her back to the door with only one thing in her mind. ''Wow.''

Back outside Tyler couldn't help but freeze as he was still processing the kiss and Riley had to bark to get his attention and snap him out of it.

''Wow. L-lets go home Riley.'' Tyler says getting into his car and driving home.

I'm not dead folks, work has taken up a lot of my time and thinking time but like i said this hieatus is not permanent, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
