Dating 101 (Re-Edited)

Solar sat on his chair outside on his balcony. He was playing his guitar that Twilight had gotten him three years ago. Twilight was sitting across from him studying up on some magic. The two had started to grow closer together. The two were a great pair of friends. They would study together and do a lot of things together. The ponies of Canterlot had known that if you see Solar around, Twilight Sparkle wasn't far behind. The two were now thirteen each and found each other more and more attractive. But each was still uneasy about asking each other out on a date. So they kept to a friendship. But Solar was kind of tired of the association. He wanted something more with Twilight. He wanted to experience a date with her.

"You're getting good." Said Twilight

"Ah, thanks, Twi." Said Solar finishing up.

Twilight blushed a little with him calling her Twi. He had started to use that pet name with her. When she first heard it, she exploded into a blushing frenzy, so much that Solar could see it. He knew that instant she had a crush on him. He was happy that she had feelings for him. He placed down his guitar and leaned back in his chair as he looked out at the city of Canterlot.

"I still can't believe I'm the prince of Equestria. Sure I knew I would someday, but never in my wildest dreams would have thought I would have the support of the ponies behind me." Said Solar

"I thought some ponies still didn't want you as their prince," said Twilight peaking over her book she had in her lavender aura.

"Well, one achievement at a time. But could you lose the book for a second? I would love to talk to your face and not the face of that book." Said Solar

"I can hear you just fine Solar. Plus I have some work I need to finish up for Celestia." Said Twilight

"Oh come on Twi, please." Said Solar

She sighed as she took the book in her arms and closed it. She set it down, and Solar straightened his seat back up. He cleared his throat and began to tap his fingers on the table. He couldn't believe he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. Oh come on! I gave a speech to a bunch of ponies, and I can't even ask the mare of my dreams out on a date. Well, this is what I didn't want to happen. Twilight began to raise an eyebrow to him.

"Well if you're going to be quiet, then I will get back to reading." Said Twilight

"No Twi!" Solar's hand rested over the top of her's. She began to blush as she felt his touch. She still couldn't get over how handsome he had become. His body had started to become more shaped as he continued to train with her brother. She could only wait until he began to lift weights. "I just don't know how to say this. For some odd reason, this is so much harder than giving a speech to ponies. Ah fine, I'll just say it. Twilight Sparkle would you like to go out on a date with me this Saturday." Said Solar

Twilight face started to become even more flush that it began to appear through her fur. Solar smiled as he saw her cute blush come through her fur. Twilight was speechless, but her mind was going a thousand miles her second. I can't believe it! OMG, OMG, OMG, he just asked me out on a date! It's a dream come true! But I can't leave him hanging, so calm down Twilight and tell him the answer. Twilight quickly got a hold of herself.

"Solar I would love to go out with you this Saturday." Said Twilight

"Alright will make it a date. I'll pick you up at seven. I got everything planned." Said Solar

"Oh, Solar." Said Twilight

She quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek. He blushed a little at it. He still enjoyed when she did it. But he bent back in his chair as he looked at Canterlot. He looked calm on the outside, but he was mentally freaking out.

***

"I have no idea what I'm doing!" Said Solar pacing back and forth in his mother's study.

Celestia sat on her couch sipping a cup of tea. She was happy that Solar had finally asked Twilight out. But she would have thought her son would have put a plan together. But knowing her son, he never planned much out. She placed her cup down and continued to listen to her son talk.

"I mean I have read books about dating. But I would have thought it would have been easier than this. I'm so screwed if I can't figure out anything." Said Solar

"Now calm down son. Come over here and sit down. I prefer not to take you to the infirmary because of a date." Said Celestia

He went over and sat down. His mother draped her wing over him. He enjoyed it when his mother's warm feathery wing would hold him. It made him feel safe, even though he was thirteen years old. He still loved it when his mother would act kind and protective of him.

"Now your calm, let's think this over. You aren't much of a planner beforehand. But after something has happened you are. Now we will call this 'Dating 101'. Together, we will make the perfect date for you and Twilight." Said Celestia

"Thanks, mother." Said Solar

"No problem my boy. Now let me get a piece of paper, and we can start." Said Celestia

Her horn came to life, and a paper began to float in the air. Then a quill came up next. "Well, what should you two do first."

"How about I take her out for a nice dinner." Said Solar

"Alright, now that is a start. So let's put that down on the list. Next, I believe you should wear a nice suit to your date. I do believe I can get the seamstresses to make one in the time frame," said Celestia writing that down.

"I know, maybe go see a show at the local theater." Said Solar

"Nice, now do you see if you calm down and rest your mind. Then ideas will be able to come out much better. Now let's continue to think of more ideas. When we have enough, we will pick out the ones that are perfect to do on a date. Then you will still have plenty of other ideas to use." Said Celestia

"Thanks again mom." Said Solar

"No problem Solar, you are my boy, and I want to make sure your first date in nice. Now let's get to it." Said Celestia

The two began to think of ideas for the date. They then started to choose what would be perfect to do Saturday. After that began to choose where to go on that Saturday after choosing the perfect plan. With that done, they had the perfect plan set up for the date. Solar was happy that his mother was still around to help him out in any problem. Solar and Celestia left to get Solar measured to get his new suit for his first date.

***

"I don't think that is me." Said Twilight

Twilight had returned home and told her parents that Solar had asked her out on a date. They were happy, and again Shining let out more liquid pride but because his sister had a date before him. He still hadn't gotten the courage to ask Cadance out on a date. Cadance was so happy for Twilight. But Twilight needed a new dress, so the girls went out to shop to find a new dress. They decided to head out to the local clothing store to find a dress.

"I don't think any of these dresses show who I am," said Twilight looking through some more dresses.

"Come on Twilight. Your dress doesn't matter." Said Cadance

"But it does Cadance. A first date dress is essential. It has been one of my dreams for years since I fell for him. I want this first date to be the best first date ever. I'm not sure what Solar has in store for us, but I know it will be romantic. I just hope it ends like my dreams." Said Twilight

"That would be, honey," said Velvet looking at another rack of dresses.

"It will end with us at my front door. We will look into each other's eyes. We will see the beauty and love we have for each other. Then he will slowly hold me tight in his arms. He will gently lower his lips to mine, and we will kiss. Ow, it sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it," said Twilight going to another rack.

Cadance walked over to Velvet. "So has she had the 'birds and bees' talk yet."

"Well not yet. I'll be telling Twilight in two years from now. I'm just happy her body isn't producing something yet. Because if she was, it would be a weird conversation to have." Said Velvet

"I guess so." Said Cadance.

They kept looking around for the perfect dress. Twilight then called over her mother and Cadance. Cadance and Velvet saw the dress Twilight was holding. They instantly knew it was the perfect dress for Twilight. They quickly bought it and went out to a few more stores to get Twilight a few more things to make her date perfect.

Soon Saturday came, and Solar walked up the front entrance of the Sparkle household. He gave a sigh as he headed towards the front door. Solar was wearing a nice slimming black suit. He wore a white undershirt with a black bow tie. His pants were also a dark shade. He also had his hair slicked back. He was thankful for the seamstress of the castle and his mother. He reached the front door and rang the doorbell. He waited and saw that Night Light opened the door.

"Well now, you clean up nicely. I have to say you look sharp in that suit. Come on in. Twilight is still getting ready." Said Light

Solar thanked Light and walked into the cozy little house. Night Light went back and sat down in his chair. Solar decided to take a seat on the couch. Light could see he was nervous and chuckled a little at that.

"Calm down Solar. I'm not going to give you some speech about my daughter. I know you will respect her and not do anything to hurt her." Said Light

"Thank you sir, but I'm nervous about this date. I'm just not to sure how it will all end." Said Solar

"Oh please Solar, it can't be worse than the first date I took Velvet to," said Light folding up his paper.

"How would that be sir?" Asked Solar

"Well, I first asked out Velvet, while she was in college. For our first date, we went out to our college's dorm kitchen, and we shared our meal swipe. We then took a walk around campus, and I gave her a goodnight kiss that shouldn't have happened and left her at her dorm. Can't say it was a perfect date, but she loved it. So we made it our date routine, though I did change it later after I became a member of the Special Forces. Of course, I then went war, but Velvet waited for me. You know what she did for the date when I came back. We did the very first date we had again. I think you will have a much better date than the date I made," said Light chuckling to himself.

"Honey, please tell me you're not reciting one of our date stories," said Velvet coming down the stairs.

"Just the first date story. I wanted to ease Solar." Said Light

"Well, you have nothing to worry about Solar. As long as you take our daughter on a nice date, then she will be happy." Said Velvet

"I guess your right." Said Solar

"I hope your weren't waiting long, Solar." Said Twilight

"No not that...long...." Solar was stuck with his words as he saw what Twilight was wearing. His mind just stopped as he looked her over. He couldn't control his face as he started to blush like crazy.

Twilight was wearing a dark lavender dress. It was a beautiful cocktail dress that stopped just above her knees. She also had a pair of white heels. They easily gave her an inch, which matched her to Solar's height. She had a nice amount of makeup on her face. Her hair was once again done up in a but with two strands of hair coming down the side of her face. The dress held nicely to her growing figure. It had one strap that went over her left shoulder. She also had on lavender lipstick and a beautiful purple handbag with her.

"Well, you like," said Twilight giving him a little twirl.

Solar couldn't make any words as his brain had fully shut down. She is even more BEAUTIFUL! Can that even be possible? Now Solar get it together. He quickly pulled his body back into reality. He looked Twilight over again.

"You look simply beautiful. I think we should get going." Said Solar

"I agree, you two love birds should enjoy your date. Just make sure you two stay in well light areas." Said Light

"Thanks, dad." Said Twilight

Twilight and Solar went out the door. He then presented his hand to her, and she hooked her arm in, and two were off. Solar gave a wave goodbye, and they were off. Everything they were going to was in walking distance. Light and Velvet watched as the two walked away.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we have the prince as a son-in-law." Said Velvet

"Please Velvet, let's see how this date goes first." Said Light

"Now talking about dates. How about we try to get our son some courage to ask Cadance out on a date. Hearth Warming Eve will be coming in a few months. Maybe you can talk him into asking Cadance out for the show. I'm sure Solar will be taking our Twilight." Said Velvet

"I guess your right," said Light as they closed the door to the house.

***

Twilight and Solar walked the lit streets of Canterlot. Twilight was leaning her head against Solar's shoulder. Many ponies out for the night said how cute the two looked. They soon reached their final destination. Twilight looked to see the name and her eyes widened.

"Solar this is the 'Emerald,' the most expensive place in all of Canterlot. Plus it has the longest wait time in the world." Said Twilight

"Please Twilight, I'm the prince. Money isn't a problem for me. Sure it serves the best alcohol, which we can't drink yet, but it still serves great food. Plus my mother got us a table. So don't worry about a thing, just enjoy the date," said Solar with his genuine smiled on his face.

"Well ok Solar, I still can't believe will be eating here." Said Twilight

"Oh Twilight, this is just beginning of what I have planned for this night." Said Solar

The two entered the business. The establishment was full of the fanciest things that one place could get. Twilight just awed at it all. Solar just shrugged as he found his room more impressive than the restaurant, but Solar was spoiled because of living in the castle, and he knew it. Solar approached the front desk to see the hostess. The pony was wearing an exquisite black suit that matched much of what Solar was wearing.

"How can I help you, sir?" Asked the hostess.

"Well, I have a reservation for two under the name of Flare." Said Solar

"Ah, yes Prince Solar Flare. We welcome you and your date to the Emerald. We hope your dining will be the best you have had. Now you two may follow me." Said the hostess.

"Come one Twilight." Said Solar

The two followed the hostess to their table. When they reached it, Solar pulled out Twilight's chair, and she thanked him. He then went over to his chair and sat down. The hostess gave them each a menu. She then left to get other guests.

"I still can't believe I'm here. I would have never thought in my wildest dreams I would be here. Oh, Solar it's incredible." Said Twilight

"Well, I think you will like where we are going next." Said Solar reaching into his pant pocket. "I know how much you like a particular musical. So I decided to get us the royal sets to it. Can you guess which one."

"Well, there are so many musicals I just love. But I don't now which ones are in Canterlot Theater that wouldn't be sold out. The one I would love to see would be Phantom of the Opera. But today is its last day, and there are no more tickets. So I give up." Said Twilight

"Well like I said, the theater has royal sets, and my mom gave me tickets to use them. So I hope you will enjoy seeing it for real. Because I got two tickets to the final showing of the Phantom of the Opera." Solar pulled out the tickets and Twilight's eyes widened as she saw the tickets. "I knew you just loved that musical. So I decided that I should give you a chance to see it for real."

Yes I am using the Phantom of the Opera. So I know it seems strange, but it could be possible. Remember this is fiction. Also Phantom of the Opera is a fantastic play.

"Solar that is so sweet of you. Oh, I can't wait to see it," said Twilight squealing in happiness.

Ponies began to look at them as Solar pocketed the tickets. Ponies quickly realized who was with Twilight. They quickly went back to their meals. Solar huffed at the stuck up rich ponies of Canterlot. But not all the ponies he met in Canterlot were like that. But most were. It was one primary reason he hated the Grand Galloping Gala.

Soon there waiter came over wearing another nice suit like the hostess that sat them. The waiter quickly bowed to the prince. Another thing Solar couldn't stand. He didn't mind being the prince, but at times it did get annoying.

"So what can I get you, two lovers." Said the waiter

Both Twilight and Solar blushed at those words. Sure they each had feelings towards each other, but they weren't special someponies yet. Solar gestured to Twilight to order first.

"Well I'll take water to drink, and I'll have the Emerald Salad. I would like the house dressing on the side." Said Twilight

"For you prince." Said the waiter

"Well, I'll take the blackened trot and a house salad on the side with the house dressing, but on top. I would also like a cup of hot tea." Said Solar

"I'll get these orders in, right away," said the waiter bowing to Solar once again before leaving.

"So I have to ask, how is being the prince." Said Twilight

"Well, it is an exciting life. Though there are a few things that I can't stand. I mean, I love being a prince. But the constant bowing and being pestered by the rich to get me behind them is a little annoying. But it does come with its perks." Said Solar

"Well, you don't have to worry about me doing that to you." Said Twilight

"I hope you don't Twilight." Said Solar

After a while, they got their drinks and then there food. They ate and talked about things in their lives. Of course Twilight was talking about how she wished her brother would ask out Cadance. Solar had to laugh at that. He still couldn't believe Shining hadn't asked out Cadance. Though as he ate, he couldn't believe he was on a date with Twilight. He smiled as he continued to eat his fish and Twilight her salad. When they finished, the check came. Solar pulled out a card. He set it down, and the waiter took away the check.

"What was that?" Asked Twilight

"Well as you probably saw, I didn't have a bit bag. So I brought a tab card. The card will charge everything to the castle. My mother will then pay the bill when she gets it." Said Solar

"Here you are, Prince Solar. You two have a lovely night," said the waiter walking away.

Solar took the pen and signed his name for the tab. He took the card and placed it in his pocket. He left a tip with a few bits he had in his pocket. They then left the restaurant and headed towards the theater. Twilight was still amazed that she was going to see one of her up most favorite plays. Solar and Twilight reached the doors, and he showed the tickets to the usher, and he took them to their seats. They soon arrived at their seats that overlooked the whole stage. It had the best view of the stage. The usher bowed to Solar and left. Twilight took her place, and Solar joined her.

"These seats are perfect." Said Twilight

"Well, perfect seats for a perfect date." Said Solar

"You do listen to me Solar." Said Twilight

"Well, you listen to me." Said Solar

Soon the play began. Twilight began to watch as the first scene began. Solar wasn't a big into acting. But he would do anything to make Twilight happy. He soon felt her head rest on his shoulder again. He smiled and placed his arm around her as they watched the play together on their very perfect first date.

***

After the play was over, Solar took Twilight through a stroll of the Canterlot park. They walked in the beauty of the night sky with the full moon illuminating everything. Solar and Twilight walked in peace. Solar soon saw that Twilight was getting cold and took off his suit jacket and draped it over her. She happily accepted it. While Solar was looking at some the nightlife and flora, Twilight took a sniff of his coat. She let out a sigh of happiness.

Solar soon stopped and looked at some Moon Lilies. He had read that they only bloomed at night. They continued to walk until Solar found a small flower dealer. He went over and used the last of his spare bits bought a single Moon Lily. He then went over and placed it in Twilight's bun. Twilight looked at it and smiled. The two continued the walk through the park. Soon the two came to an end as the Sparkle household stood in front of them. They gave each other a hug. Twilight gave back Solar his suit jacket.

"Thank you for the date Solar. It was simply lovely." Said Twilight

"Well, the date isn't over yet. I still got one more thing to give you." Said Solar

He gripped her arms gently and looked deep into her lavender eyes as she looked deep into his orange eyes. Twilight's mind began to explode. I think I know what's going to happen. I believe he is going to kiss me. Soon Solar began to come gently down to her lips. His eyes were slowly closing. Twilight still couldn't believe it, but followed suit by closing hers. They meet in a gentle, soft kiss. Twilight and Solar wrapped their arms around each other as they kissed in the moonlight. Twilight couldn't believe her dream was coming true.

Solar enjoyed the feeling of her lips on his. The soft touch of her fur was fantastic on his soft skin lips. Soon they broke and looked at each other's eyes again. This time, Twilight took the lead and gave him another kiss on the lips. Solar didn't fight against it as they kissed each other again. They soon broke, and Twilight hugged him one last time before heading into her house. She waved goodbye to Solar as she closed the door.
