Chapter 39: Plans

"Please. Cadence. Don't do this. I'm not ready!" I begged from the air. "I have no idea what I'm doing!"

She shook her head as she looked to the side and right at me, as we stopped at the doors. "Oh shush now. It won't be that bad."

"For the love of god I'm still a virgin please!" I said a little louder than I wanted, getting her to freeze in place.

She looked over to me, raising an eyebrow as she looked me over. "...Really?" She asked.

I nodded furiously.

'Oh please lord let the virgin card pull me out of this'

She blinked a few times, before shaking her head. "Wow... didn't expect that... well there's a first time for everything!" She said as she pushed open the doors and set me on my feet.

'TIME TO RUN!'

But it was already to late. As the doors swung open, a very familiar voice shouted to me.

"Jake! Cadence! Welcome!" Celestia exclaimed from inside the room, getting me to clench my teeth for a moment, and turn to greet her.

"Hey... Celestia. Kinda late for you to be up don't you think?" I said aloud as she neared us and gave Cadence a small hug.

I spotted Luna on the throne behind Celestia, along with there being two other night guards looking towards us with boredom evident in their gaze. As Celestia finished the hug, she stood back up and looked over to me, giving me a small smile before answering.

"I could say the same about you." She replied before I waved it off.

"Nah, I spent so much time in space, my internal clock is completely butchered. Doesn't matter what time I go to sleep." I said nodding to her and smiling. "Night and day are both beautiful in their own way."

Nodding back, she smiled even warmer. "How nice of you to say. Anyway's, I must be off Luna!" She shouted back before looking to me. "I don't think you'll be bored alone anyway." She said as she winked at me and trotted off.

I felt a bump on my hip, and turned to see Cadence as she tried to signal me to walk. I rolled my eyes and did as she wanted.

'I can't believe I'm just gonna let her do this...'

As I neared Luna she perked up and smiled.

"Hey Jake." She said with a sigh. "I thought you were going to the library to research magic?" She asked getting me to awkwardly swing my arms, and randomly play with my fingers.

"U-uh... yeah... I WAS." I said as I looked over to Cadence as she let out a little whistle. "But um... I was gonna ask you s-something." I said as I could feel my face starting to turn red.

"I'll be right back Luna." Cadence said suddenly. "I think I heard Shining calling for me." She said as she quickly galloped out of the room.

I stood for a few moments in dead silence, before I turned back around to Luna as she had a completely innocent and oblivious face on. "W-Would you like to uh..." I continued, clearing my throat. "G-go... out?" I finished tensing my body.

The statement caught her by surprise, along with the two guards currently posted in the room. Both their mouths hung open slightly and Luna tilted her head before smiling.

"Oh, yeah sure. I'd like to go out and do something again." She said as I shook my head.

"No I mean like... on a... *Ahem*... date..."

Then it happened. The two guards jaws hit the floor, as did Luna's, and I tried my best not to burn up into ashes from the amount of heat currently leaving my face. Before I could speak up and tell her to forget it, she suddenly spoke up... with a blush just as bright on her own face.

"A d-d-date?!" She said looking around the room bewildered. "W-well that was certainly... unexpected..." She said trailing off.

"I'm sorry I-"

Then she smiled.

"But not unwelcome." She finished.

Alright. My turn.

My jaw mimicked that which the guards had done before, while the guards in question basically dropped their's even farther. I'm sure this wasn't even physically possible.

"How about Saturday? Day after tomorrow?" She asked getting me to blink and slowly nod.

I slowly started backing out of the room, with a very bright blush still very visible on my face. "U-Uh... y-yeah sure... I uh... need to go and-" I said as I nearly tripped while fumbling over my words. "Uh... get ready. And... stuff."

I quickly left the room, and the moment I did I turned around and came face to face with Cadence as the door shut behind me.

"See? Was that so tough?" She asked with a little smirk. "Oh my Celestia you two are so cute." She said as she moved my cheeks around with her hooves.

I rolled my eyes and walked off.

'Fuckin' princesses man'

Perspective: Cadence

'Alright... I wonder how it went'

I stepped into the throne room and was immediately grabbed by a blue aura and pulled across the room. Within a split second I was face to face with Luna, who looked excited out of her mind. I also noted the guards were gone as well.

"Oh stars! Cadence!" She said as she took me with her front hooves and pulled me closer. "I. NEED. ADVICE." She said, pausing between every word.

I shook myself out of my stunned state and wiggled out of her hold, falling to the ground. "*Oof*... uh, need my advice with what?" I asked, but already knew the answer.

"Jake asked me out on a date!" She said aloud as I pretended to have a look of shock. "I-I-I don't know what to wear even!"

Before I could answer, another voice spoke up behind me.

"How about those really saucy socks you have in your closet?" Celestia's voice rang out.

My eyes opened wide, as did a smile of mine, as Luna took on a face of horror.

Luna fumbled over her words as she looked over to her sister. "W-W-WHAT?!" She yelled aloud. "I HAVE NO SUCH- *gasp* SISTER!"

I turned to face Celestia, and my eyes widened. She stood there, wearing two pairs of knee high socks, filled with constellations and dark colors.

Smiling, Celestia replied. "Oh yes, you do." She said as she did some mock posing.

Luna let out an annoyed groan. "Oh grow up sister!" Luna shouted as her horn glowed and the socks vanished. "Over two thousand years old and you still act like a foal! And I thought you had somewhere to be!"

Rolling her eyes, Celestia answered back. "Oh... and miss a chance to tease my little sister like the good old days?" She said as she pranced next to her sister and bopped her on the nose. "Never!" She said with a giggle. "And being a ruler is taxing, as you know... sometimes you have to, as Jake would say, relax."

Shaking my head, I spoke up. "Luna. Do you have any dresses? At all?" I asked getting her to raise her hoof to her chin in thought.

"Oh!" She said as she brightened up. "Yes I have one! I got it on my two hundredth birthday!" She said as I looked over to Celestia.

She was cringing.

"Uh... alright. We need to get you some clothes. let's go!" I said as I teleported the both of us out of the room.

And directly into a Canterlot dress store.

"I don't know about this Cadence... it's been a long time since I've been out... shopping." Luna said as I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"It's alright. Just follow my lead." I replied.

Ponies quickly took notice of our presence and were either bowing, or looking on in awe that they were shopping in the same store as the princesses. I walked up to the nearest worker and tapped her on the shoulder.

"*Ahem*." I said getting her attention. "Sorry to bother you but... we're looking for a special dress."

The pony slowly turned around, and spoke out with an annoyed voice. "Oh how specifi-" She began but stopped as she saw us, and her jaw dropped. "Oh Celestia..."

"Luna here." I said motioning to Luna who was currently looking around the room, getting the pony to look even more aghast, "Is looking for the perfect dress for her first date." I said smiling, before leaning in. "First ever..."

*Gulp*
