A simple date: a night in. Twilight came over to Gilda's, bringing her movie choice for the night with her. Gilda had made pizza for them. As in made it. Not some frozen pre-made pizza that was simply stuck in the oven. She had even made the crust from scratch. Now the two of them had the living room to themselves, cuddled up on the couch, with pizza in hand and the movie on screen.

It was perfect.

Well...not really. At least to one of them.

Before it had even begun playing, Twilight Sparkle had been regretting her choice in movies. As much as she liked The Man From Earth, it was not exactly an exciting movie. It was also not exactly a popular film either. After all, it was mainly a group of people sitting around and talking.

"Why do you like this movie?" Gilda asked as the end credits started to roll.

"The possibility," Twilight answered.

"You want to be immortal?"

"No." Twilight paused. "Well... I mean it would be kind of neat to see what kind of scientific breakthroughs we make in a century, or a millennia. Technology, medicine --" she looked down at the crystal she now wore as a necklace from Camp Everfree "-- maybe even magic now that we know it's real. We could see the end of cancer, the regeneration of limbs -- or maybe even organs -- or the successful invention of teleportation. And that's just what could be based off of modern speculation. If a person lived long enough, they might see things that we haven't even been able to imagine yet."

"So why do you like it?" Gilda asked, raising an eyebrow.

"History!" Twilight nearly shouted. She pointed at the screen. "Even if he wasn't at the center of every historical event, he must have seen a lot of changes the world went through. So much of human history has been lost through various unnatural causes. There are so many questions that could be answered if someone who lived through it was still around. And what if he's not alone? What if it happened again. To someone in pre-kingdom Egypt, or ancient Sumeria. Greece. Rome. The things we could learn from them."

Gilda rolled her eyes and gave a shake of her head, but was smiling slightly. Instead of saying something, however, she got up and switched out the disk for another. She reclaimed her spot on the couch as the movie started.

Twilight watched an Asian film started. It had been dubbed, so she could understand what was being said. From what she could gather, the movie was a drama with family, betrayal, and suspicion. It also had fighting with martial arts.

Unfortunately, Twilight did not see the entire movie. For some reason, she drifted off while it was playing.

Waking up, Twilight found herself still on the couch. The television had been turned off, and a blanket had been thrown over the two of them. Gilda was laying stretched out on the couch, head against the armrest as she slept as well. Looking down, Twilight realized that she had been using the other girl's chest as a pillow.

She also found her glasses had been set on the coffee table.

Seeing no reason to get up, Twilight cuddled back against Gilda, enjoying the warmth of her body, and let herself drift back to sleep.
