To Love a Princess

Rainbow Dash went over to the seating of the restaurant, trying to figure out where to sit. This is *HARD... What would Twilight like? Booth? No... That makes it seem like we're family not friends... But I **don't want her to think we're friends either! Ugg... The bar stools? No, that seems like I'm trying to make her have a drink.. Which I know she won't have! Why does this have to be so dificult!? Wait... am I really having an argument with myself about seating? Ok, that's enough of being Twilight... But she is so cute when she has arguments with herself! Am I cute when I have arguments with myself? Can I pull it off? Am I even cute? Oh my, Celestia! It's true, I am turning into Twilight!*

Rainbow didn't notice when the waiter came up behind her until he tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around to find herself blushing like mad.

"Uh.. Miss? Are you going to sit down?" He asked cautiously.

"Huh? Oh yea... Sorry... Umm.. I'm waiting for a friend, Twilight. If you see her, can you send her to my table, man?" She asked the waiter as he started to smirk.

"Yea, right. Like Princess Twilight Sparkle would ever just sit down with one of us peasants." He chuckled at her before realizing he was losing his 'proper' tone, and being nice to the customer.

"Hey, man! That's my friend you're talkin' about!" She yelled at him. The waiter looked to his right, and saw from across the room his boss was glaring at him. Quickly, he apologized and said he would send Twilight to her when he saw the alicorn.

After a couple minutes, Rainbow started getting a little bored, so she started making origami with her napkin for Twilight. She turned her napkin into a cloud, and Twilight's into a heart. Shaking her head, she quickly remade Twilight's into a boat. She had just finished the boat when the waiter brought over the smart little Princess.

"Rainbow? What are you doing here so early? I'm 28 minutes early and you got here before me? This isn't like you! How long have you been here? Oh my, I'm reacting over nothing, aren't I? Sorry.." The alicorn questioned her as she sat down in the booth.

Instead of answering, Rainbow made big, scared, eyes at her and quickly pushed the boat toward Twilight with her hoof. "I didn't know you knew origami, Rainbow." She said as she looked carefully at the boat that had precise lines without any mess-ups. She picked it up with her aura and played with it like a toy boat.

"Yea... Before I even started foalgarten, my mom taught me some shapes when I was bored... I thought they were so cool, especially when she put them on string and hung them from the ceiling... Also the ones where you could pull the tail and it would flap it wings." She explained as she pushed her cloud along the table like it was floating. Twilight tried to start saying something, but she was interrupted as the waiter came to their table to let them order drinks.

"Oh, yea. Uhh.. I'll have some alcohol-" She was cut off from herself when she looked at Twilight. Twilight might not like alcohol.... Probably shouldn't order it for myself, either.. "Actually, I'll have normal cider, please."

"And I will have some water, please. Thank you, sir." Twilight said as the waiter nodded and went off to fetch the drinks.

"I thought you liked alcoholic cider, Rainbow... Why did you change your mind?"

"Uhh.. nevermind that." Dash stammered at the alicorn, which gave her just enough time to wait 'till the drinks came to change the topic.

"Did you decide what you would like to eat?" The waiter asked while getting out his notepad.

"I already know, I will have the hay 'n cheese fries, please." Rainbow told him while handing back the menu.

"I memorized the menu..." Twilight blushed very red before replying. "I will have the hay burger, thanks."

Rainbow did a nervous smile before watching the waiter trott off to the cook to give him their orders. Think, Dash! What should I say to her? What's a good topic to ta- Rainbow's thinking was cut off by Twilight's blabbering.

"I just recently found out that the 'Horseshoe' star was moving in a circular pattern instead of a square, so I told Luna and she said that it was normal and I shouldn't worry about it! But I knew that wasn't true, so I went over to Celestia," Rainbow watched the alicorn blabber on, not listening to a single word she was saying. Just watching her hair move quietly when ever she tilted her head, looking at her shiny teeth, her wonderful-

"Dash, are you ok?"

"What? Huh?" Rainbow said before waking up into reality.

"The foods here."

"Oh, yea... Right."

"Oh, and I have your books I wanted you to read.."

"Great... Uhh, thanks." She replied before taking them. Twilight went back to talking about not-really-interesting stuff, and Dash ate her food, with small mouthfulls, being very mannerly, unlike her usual self. Acting like she was very interested, but really she went back to dreamily staring at the Princess who was eating the totally opposite from her friend, eating with her mouthful, and what-not. They both had a wonderful time, and Dash's feelings grew with every word Twilight said. Which was a lot, considering how much Twilight blabbers.

And Twilight looked strangely at the pegasus every once in a while, like she knew something was wrong. Rainbow tended to ignore it, but the looks increased, almost as much as Dash's feelings.

There has to be something wrong with Dash.... right?
