Simon put on his dapper suit for his date at Ponyville's nameless restaurant. He sat down at their reserved table (Paid for by Apple Bloom with Apple Family fund.), and waited for his date. He had stopped by Twilight's library, and got a spell cast on him to walk on clouds, in case the date lead back to Rainbow's place, and now he was ready. The waiter brought them both cups of cider, and Simon took this chance to pull the vial from his pocket universe, and put a few drops in Rainbow's glass.

He then put it back, and at that moment, Rainbow Dash came into the building. She looked normal, bored out of her mind with the concept of dating. She once was coerced into the dating scene by Rarity. She didn't like it. She sat down with Simon.

Simon began the conversation with a friendly, "How was your day, dear."

"Don't call me that." Rainbow said, "We're here for one. date. If it goes from there, so be it. But for now, it's One. Date."

"Oookay." Simon awkwardly said, "So how was your day?"

"I guess it was fine." She said, "I sat around the house and spent a few hours just being awesome. What else are you to do on a Saturday?"

"Well," Simon said, "You could play WoW, LoL, Minecraft, you could listen to S-Club 7, watch Brian Blessed and Warwick Davis movies, eat some Jaffa Cakes, or just write lonely fanfiction online."

Rainbow looked at him with a raised eyebrow, with a look that said Are you crazy?. He could tell she didn't have any idea what he was talking about, and he remembered those were all null and void in this world.

"Whatever you say, dude." Rainbow said, taking a drink from her Cider Glass with the love potion in it.

Simon saw her eyes fix on him, and could almost feel the love radiating off of her. He smiled, knowing his plan had worked.

"You know, Simon," Rainbow said in a seductive voice, "I don't know if you're a stud in your world, but here," She looked him up and down, "You are."

"Thanks." Simon said, winking at the pony across from him, "You aren't too bad looking yourself, babe."

Rainbow bit her lip as she said, "Thanks, babe."

"So," said Simon, "What's the plan for this evening?"

"Why don't we go back to my place?" Rainbow sensually asked.

"I like that idea." Simon said.

Rainbow took off, and said, "I'll be waiting" and winked.

Simon found the Hot Air Balloon, and floated up to her house.

He exited, and entered Rainbow's house.

He woke the next morning. He was more comfortable than he had ever been, and he was in a bed. He looked to the foot of the bed, and found the whole thing was made of clouds. He couldn't remember anything from last night. He was wearing nothing but his underpants, and found Rainbow Dash laying on the pillow next to him.

He grinned slightly, remembering the events of last night.

Forgetting his pride in himself, Simon figured he should get out of there quick, as the love potion wouldn't last forever, and Rainbow would likely be rather cross, so he got out of the comfortable bed, and looked around. Every piece of furniture was covered with his clothes. His shirt, trousers, socks, suit, and shoes were scattered on the sofa, lamps, everything!

He gathered them up as quickly as possible, as Rainbow was beginning to stir. He had hastily put everything on when he went outside, and found his only mode of transportation was gone! He scanned the ground, and found the Hot Air Balloon deflated, over 200 feet below him. He couldn't jump, so he scanned the perimeter of the house, hoping to find a safe landing place. over the North ledge, he found a river, but he had no other option.

"I hope this world is like Minecraft." Simon told himself, right before he jumped.

Simon went into a diving position, and finally broke the surface of the water. He was alive, that much he was sure of. But just barely. His eyes closed, and everything went black.

"Are you alright, sir?" The Clerk asked to the now capacitating Sips.

"Yeah." Sips replied, "Just a little beat up. I'm fine" he got up, and gathered his wits. He had been betrayed by his own lackey, and his friend. How could this have happened?

"So," Sips said, "Right before I leave, can I have a toaster?"

"Fine. Fifty Bits."

"Bits?" Sips asked.

"Yes. Bits."

"What's the exchange rate to Dollars?"

"Dollars?"

Sips pulled out fifty Canadian dollars, and showed them to the clerk.

"I've never seen that money before, sir." The Clerk said, "I'm sorry, but I can't give you any merchandise for this."

"Oh... my... God." Sips was so angry that he just walked out. he knew where he could go to get a Toaster for sure.

He arrived a few minutes later at Sugar Cube Corner. As he walked in the door, he was stood behind a line of at least 15 ponies, all lined up at the counter. The Cakes were bustling about, and Pinkie was zipping here and there, gathering instruments and ingredients, and combined them into magnificent muffins and cupcakes.

Sips watched her hand a particularly beautiful muffin to a grey Pegasus mare, who trotted out the side door. This is the way it went for another few minutes as everypony was served. Then came sips' turn. He came up to Pinkie, who gave him an enthusiastic, "Hey, there, Sipsy!"

"Hey, Pinkie!" Sips replied, "Listen, I need a toaster. It's all I've wanted since before I got here. I've been to hell and back, and still I'm empty-handed. Can you help?"

"Well, of course!" Pinkie said, "Anything for a friend!"

Sips oddly felt his heart rise with the words, as Pinkie rummaged through her little chest of many, many things.

"Let's see here," She mumbled, "Hairdryer... Guava... Episode 3... Frostmourne... Raven Lord... Diamond... Toilet Seat... aha!" She exclaimed, "Here it is: a Toaster!" She handed the big silver box to Sips, who's smile was as wide as it could physically be. He hugged the appliance, and left.

"Thank you very much, Pinkie Pie." Sips said, "Very much."

"No Problemo!" Pinkie waved, "Bye!"

"Bye!" Sips said, and turned just in time to run smack into the only other human still around: Jesse.
