Chapter 25: The Unexpected Date

Dusk had left for Fluttershy’s house, after that rather revealing story from Zephyr. He told Dusk, that he would, ‘surprise’ Twilight later that day, which brought a shudder from the dark blue stallion. He decided that he wouldn’t want to find out, and so he left the area, leaving Zephyr to do whatever he was going to do with Twilight.

As he walks along the pathway, he recognises the spot where Dusk and Fluttershy had their incident with the four stallions. There were still a few stains of blood, where there was conflict, Dusk presumes that most of it is his. The 4 stallions that were unconscious on the ground, were no longer there. He looks at the general area, with a worried look, as he thinks of what could of happened to her. He didn’t like to dwell on the subject.

He walks away, and moves towards the direction of Fluttershy’s house.

----------

He opens the door of Fluttershy’s home, and sees that she is making a few daisy sandwiches for herself.

“Good afternoon Shy, you making lunch for yourself?”

“Hello Dusk, and yes. I’m just making a few sandwiches. Do you want one Dusk?”

“Yes please.”

Fluttershy makes a second daisy sandwich for Dusk, and gives it to him on a plate. He picks it up and starts eating, but then gets an idea.

“So Fluttershy, since I am *om nom nom* still in my suit, I’m thinking. Maybe *nom nom* I could take you out for dinner, at a restaurant somewhere in Ponyville.”

Fluttershy gives him a cute smile, “I’d like that Dusk.”

----------

“So I’m planning on having dinner at the restaurant near Twilight’s place. It seems like a good place to go to... mainly because it is the only restaurant, that I know of.”

“Umm... OK Dusk, what time are you thinking?” Asks Fluttershy.

Dusk looks up at the nearby clock, which reads 1:17 PM, “Maybe we could get there at 6PM, if you are comfortable with that time, that is.”

“I think that’s a good time, Dusk.”

Dusk asks Fluttershy something, “You mind if I could have a bath now? It would save a lot of time later tonight.”

She simple says, “Go ahead, I don’t mind.”

----------

Dusk, starts filling the bath, and once again, it is at the perfect temperature for him. He removes his suit, and puts it on the nearby table. He grabs what he thinks is the soap and starts to wash himself. (He still doesn’t know what most of the washing products are for.) He is secretly hoping that they don’t spend too much money, since he only has the 80 bits that he earned yesterday at the farm.

When he finishes washing his mane and coat, he steps out of the bath and drains the water. He puts the suit back on, and steps out of the bathroom. When he enters the lougue room, he expected to see Fluttershy, but she wasn’t there.

“Shy! Shy, where are you?”

Dusk hears a quiet response from upstairs. “I’m still here Dusk, I went into my room before, and I’m getting ready for tonight. I don’t want you to come into my room Dusk, that is... unless you want to.”

“What no, I wouldn’t do that, if somepony wants their privacy, I should let the have it.”

“Thank you Dusk.” Finishes Fluttershy.

He is looking forward to seeing Fluttershy when she gets out of her room. If she looks anything like she did during their dinner together, than he would be amazed.

----------

Quick Author’s Note: I won’t bother trying to explain the dress, since it has been gathered that I cannot do so.

Fluttershy has finally stepped out of her room, and walks into the area where Dusk is sitting. His jaw drops when he sees her. She was wearing the most exquisite dress that he had ever seen in his life. She is also wearing a light make up, which looks similar to what she did during the dinner

“F-Fluttershy, has anypony ever t-told you that you look... amazing.” Stammers Dusk

“Only you Dusk.” She answers with a small blush.

“Where did you get that dress from?”

“Um... well all of my friend and I were going to the Grand Galloping Gala in Cantelot. It’s a long story, so you don’t need to listen to it.”

Dusk looks up at the clock, 4:23PM. “Yeah go for it Shy Shy, we both have time to kill...”

----------

“... and it turned out to be our worst night ever, for all of us.”

Dusk wasn’t expecting any of that to happen at one of the most prestigious events in Equestria. He definitely did not expect her to rage the way she described it to him.

“That would suck, Shy. I bet your glad that it’s over now.”

“But I still feel bad about those poor animals though Dusk.”

He shrugs, “I’m sure that they don’t remember what happened Shy.” He reassures.

“I hope not.” She looks at the clock, 5:13PM. “Umm... do you think we should go now, even if we are a bit early.”

“Yep.”

----------

After about 30 minutes of walking, the couple have made it to the restaurant. It looked pretty classy, it is the sort of place where Rarity would like to eat. They had gotten inside and picked themselves a table.

They were both looking at the menus for what they would order, until they were interrupted by a familiar stallion’s voice.

“Hey Dusk.”

He looks up from his menu, and recognises the stallion straight away. “Oh hi Zeph,” He looks at the purple unicorn following him. “Did you bring Twilight out here for a date?”

“Yeah, I see that you did the same with Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy begins to talk, “Hello Twi.”

“Hi Fluttershy.” She responds.

“So it seems that we both brought our dates to the same restaurant at the same time. How convenient.” States Zephyr.

Dusk and the two mares have a confused look on their faces, “Why’s that Zephy?” Asks Twilight.

“Well we can make it into a double date.” Answers Zephyr.
