3 days later: Rainbow Dash's house

"Ohbuckohbuckohbuck!" Rainbow dash pacing back and forth, tries to calm herself down. And not doing a very good job at that. "Calm down Rainbow Dash. It's just a date. A date with the mare of your dreams." Shit. That isn't helping at all. "Just take deep breaths. You're acting like Twilight. You're way too awesome to panic over something like this." At least she is trying to convince herself that this is the truth. "If I don't keep myself 20% cooler, she'll think I'm totally lame, and I want her to think I'm cool. Just take deep breaths. In and out. In and out. In and out. Rainbow, now calm and collected, put on her usual half smile that says "Aww yeah, totally awesome." "Now it's time to go meet Twi. I just hope she didn't chicken out or anything."

Meanwhile, back at Twilight's castle...

"Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike!" Twilight's voice practically shook the castle, causing Spike to nearly jump out of his scales, seeing as how he is in the next room.

"Yes Twilight?"

"I need your help! Rainbow will be here any minute, and I have no idea what to use as a topic for a conversation!"

"That's what you're worried about?" Spike deadpanned.

"Well duh! I don't want her to think I'm boring! What if she decides that doesn't want to go out with me anymore?!" Twilight was having a panic attack and started hyperventilating by this point.

"Holy Celestia. Calm down Twilight! If that were the case, Rainbow wouldn't even have considered going out with you. Much less with the
amount of enthusiasm you said she showed. Everything will be fine Twilight."

"You're right Spike." Twilight started her breathing exercises that Cadence taught her. "In and out. In and out. In and out." Now with renewed confidence, Twilight is determined to have a good time with Rainbow Dash. "I'll be off now Spike. See you later tonight."

"Have fun Twilight!" Spike waved as she walked out the door. After Twilight left, Spike didn't really know what to do. He usually spends time with Twilight, cleaning, or lounging about. But he knew she would be gone for a few hours... He then went to his room. "It's been a long time since I was able to be alone long enough to sift through my porn." Spike knows what he's doing for the rest of the night.

Rainbow Dash bolted out the door of her home in Cloudsdale, excited to meet up with Twilight. She had spent extra time messing with her hair so it looked extra awesome for tonight. After all, she wanted to impress the egghead. As she flew down from Cloudsdale to Ponyville, she did a few loops and took off to go to their meeting place at the water fountain the center of town. Dash hadn't felt this nervous since trying to preform the sonic rainboom in front of other ponies. "You've got this. You're the Rainbow Dash!" Seeing Ponyville in sight, Rainbow Dash began her descent. Aiming for the fountain in the town's center, she noticed Twilight sitting down, looking around nervously and with great impatience. Rainbow flew full speed, only slowing down when she got 50 feet away from the ground, skidding to a halt when she landed. "Hey Twilight! Over here!" Waving at Twilight now trying to get her attention, which took little effort.

"Hey Rainbow!" Nervousness obvious in her voice.

"Did you wait long? I hope you didn't. I took a bit longer to get ready that I planned to."

"Not at all actually. I've been here a few minutes."

"Oh ok. That's cool." Rainbow had never had problems talking to Twilight before. So why now? After taking time to observe Twilight, Rainbow noticed her coat looked shinier. Holy fucking celestia she looked hot. This made Rainbow blush slightly and hoped her wings weren't sticking up. When she looked to her sides, she noticed they were still in place at her sides. Thank Celestia. She did not want to explain that to Twilight. "So uhm... are you ready Twi?"

"Oh er yes! Yes! Uhm yeah let's go." Their first stop was Sugarcube Corner. Which meant inevitably seeing Pinkie Pie.

They walked inside and a bell was heard. As they approached the counter, they saw a pink blur that upon looking closer, turned out to be the hyperactive pink mare who sported her usual grin of pure joy.

"Well howdy doody Dashie and Twi Twi! What brings you here to see little old me?" Pinkie's grin grew bigger, as impossible as it seemed. She could rival the Cheshire cat in that respect.

"Hello Pinkie Pie" Rainbow Dash tried to manage a poker face as best she could. "I'm just..."

"On a date with Twilight?" Pinkie kept that grin as wide as possible for some pony that defied logic.

"How did you...?"

"Just a hunch!" That grin got bigger. How the fuck was that even possible? Never mind. We're talking about Pinkie Pie here.

"You're correct" Twilight stated. She was nervous as to how she would react to this now.

"Well then..." Pinkie became serious for a moment. "This calls for a party!!! It'll be a Twi and Dashie finally decided to go out party!" Aaaaand serious moment is over.

"You're not grossed out by two mares dating?" Rainbow had always been laughed at for being gay, so she came to expect it.

"Of course not you silly filly! Why would love bother me? Love is like being friends except you kiss and you cuddle and hold hooves! Oh and do kinky, naughty stuff too!" This made Twilight and Rainbow blush a bright crimson.

"So anyway, we'd like to get a few cupcakes." Twilight desperately wanted change the subject.

"Okie dokie lokie!" What kind? Oh oh oh!!! I made some new ones that are fresh from the oven!"

"Cool!" Rainbow Dash loves fresh cupcakes. They're the greatest thing ever besides naps and Twilight's flank. "Where are they?"

"Right here!" Pinkie Pie pointed to them.

"Uhm... Pinkie?"

"Yes Dashie?"

"Why do they look like Twi and I?" Sure enough, they were in the shape of each other. Like anatomically correct perfect.

"It seemed like fun when I thought of it and my pinkie sense told me that something interesting would happen!" Pinkie maintained that Cheshire cat grin the whole time.

Rainbow Dash opened her mouth to say something when she looked at the Twilight cupcake. And she started to drool. A lot. "Uhm... I think we'll take em." This earned her a nervous stare from Twilight. "Actually, we'll just have a half dozen of those blue ones with the cherries on top." Twilight sighed in relief. Rainbow got close to Pinki Pie so she knew Twilight couldn't hear her. "I'll come back for the other one."

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie put the cupcakes in a box for the two mares and Rainbow payed for it since she wanted everything to be her treat.

Once they walked out and could finally relax, they decided to hit their next destination, which happened to be Sweet Apple Acres. They were going to pick up some of Applejack's hard cider.

"I'm actually kinda nervous about how A.J. will react to us going out." Rainbow Dash knew Applejack well. And she knew that A.J. and her family for the most part, were on the conservative side. Regardless of all the villains they faced together, she had never been so nervous as she had been now. Applejack was one of her best friends after all. As they approached the farm, they heard the familiar sound of Applejack slamming her hind legs into a tree. This was not uncommon as it was apple buck season and the Apples were quite busy during this time of the year. Twilight and Rainbow trotted up to Applejack and too a deep breath.
"Hey A.J.!" Rainbow called out to the orange coated earth pony.

"Well howdy Rainbow Dash, Twilight. What can ah do ya for?" Applejack always loved seeing her friends, even if it was apple buck season.

"We were wondering if we could get some of your hard cider." Rainbow really wants the cider. It's only second best to Twilight's flank. Which she can't seem to get out of her mind.

"Why sure ya can Dash. Y'all can find it in the cellar."

"Thanks A.J.!" They went to the cellar and found quite a few bottles. But they were only taking one because they didn't want to get trashed. After grabbing a bottle, they went back to talk to Applejack. "Hey, A.J., do you have a minute. We gotta tell you something.

"Well sure Dash. Is somethin' wrong?" Applejack was a bit concerned.

"No. Nothing's wrong. Just something important."

"Oh ok. Well ah'm all ears."

"Well... you see A.J." Applejack waited patiently but still concerned because the cyan pegasus was so nervous. "You see, the reason Twi and I came here is because we're going out on a date."

"Ah see." Rainbow was sweating bullets now. "Rainbow, y'all are my friend. I'm straight, and I don't really see how two mares could date each other, and I may not be too fond of it, but the way ah see it, y'all are my best friends. As long as y'all are happy, that's good enough fer me.

Rainbow Dash was slightly shocked, but happy that she didn't mind. "Thanks A.J., that means a lot."

"Not a problem Dash." They leaned in for a quick hug and then, with satisfaction, Twilight and Rainbow set off to leave the farm.

"See you later A.J.!" Applejack waved and started bucking apples again. Rainbow was as happy as she could be right now.
