Hitched *Love Story*
Chapter 3: The Friends
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was the crack of dawn.The moon was getting ready to lower down and the sun was getting ready to rise. The sky looked both pink and purple, and down in Seattle, mostly everyone came out to see the multicolored sky. It was a yearly tradition that everyone had and followed. Down in the Sparkles home, Twilight Velvet sat on the couch and cuddled with her beloved husband, Night Light. Twilight began to dig threw the refrigerator to find milk for her 'Little Bits Crunch' cereal. As soon as she found it, she poured both her cereal and milk in her bowl, and began to pig out on her breakfast. She loved hearing the crunching sounds of the little tiny pieces of cereal, and usually waited until she was finished drinking the milk to eat her marshmallows. Meanwhile, Shining was upstairs in his room looking at the beautiful pink and purple sky. He also saw couples as they either walked up the sidewalk in their pajamas or hanged out in a swing bench. Looking at couples wasn't really what he would do on a Sunday like this. He would either face time 8-Bit, Gaffer, or Pointdexter, or just stay sleep. But know he finally had something to think about. His small crush on Cadence.
"I wonder if she has a boyfriend. Which she probably does." he said to himself. Suddenly, Shining saw a very familiar person walking down in fluffy pink pajamas with bunny slippers, with a pony-tail.
"Is that Cadence?" Shining asked himself. He couldn't tell because she was turned around. But soon that person turned around, and Shining finally saw who it was.
"It is! Cadence! Hey Cadence wait up!" but she barely heard him.
"CADENCE!" Shining yelled once again, but Cadence still couldn't hear him. That's when Shining Armor got his blue robe, and headed towards the stairs in a rush. No one noticed Shining Armor as he ran out the door, no one, except for his mother with a smile on her face.
"Go get her Shining."
Shining Armor ran out the door with his robe in his hand.
"Dammit! She's fast!" he said to himself.
"CADENCE!" Shining Armor yelled out of breath. That's when Cadence finally turned around, and noticed that Shining Armor had one hand on his knee and tried to catch his breath.
"Oh my! I sorry about that! I didn't see or hear you." Cadence said giving Shining a hand. As she pulled him up, Shining finally caught his breath.
"What were you thinking!?" Cadence said punching him hard on his shoulder.
"Well, I saw you walk by and I........I just.......I wanted to see you again." Shining said as his face turned red as a cherry. So did Cadence's, but she giggled.
"What's so funny?" Shining joked. Finally Cadence stopped laughing and opened her big purple eyes.
"Well, I wanted to see you again too. I wanted to become friends and get to know you." Shining Armor's heart sank. FRIENDS!? WHAT DID SHE MEAN FRIENDS!?, that's when Shining Armor went a little back to want his friends Gaffer and 8-Bit said to him at the shop "take it slow, start as friends", so Shining Armor followed their advice.
"Oh...okay." Shining said while grabbing one of the boxes Cadence was holding.
"Let's get to know each other." Cadence heart bounced when she saw Shining Armor's smile reflection off of sun light. Then she smiled back.
"Alright.....let's."
It had bee almost an hour, and Shining Armor and Cadence were still talking. They got to know each other every well. Their weaknesses, how they act, what they like to do, and etc. Soon, Cadence's belly began to grumble.
"Shit! I knew I should've never skipped breakfast!" Cadence said to herself. That's when Shining Armor pulled out his wallet out of his robe. Cadence looked at him very weirdly.
"What? I always bring it with me. Just in case." Shining said while winking. "Where do ya wanna eat?" Soon, Cadence pointed to a fast-food restaurant that had a huge rat at the top of the building, holding a tray with a burger that had loads of cheese on it.
"I wanna go to Cheesy Burger." Cadence said, but Shining Armor looked at her funny. From what she had told him, Cadence really enjoyed fruits and vegetables and could care less about any meat at all, that is, unless she was really hungry. So Shining finally knew, she was very hungry.
"Alright. Cheesy Burger it is." Shining said as him and Cadence charged into the restaurant. As they walked in, all they could see was hundreds of people, in pajamas, on stools, mashing burgers like it was the last one on Earth. Since it was a special day in Seattle, mostly everyone in town was wearing pajamas. No matter what it looked like.
"I'm cold." Cadence said while shivering. She then thought she was gonna freeze to death, until a warm, blue robe with white arms hugged her tightly. Cadence soon blushed and saw that it was Shining Armor helping her out. When he let go of Cadence, only his robe was left on her shoulders. He then caught eye of the cashier who seemed to notice he was getting ready to head towards her.
"Go find a table. I'll get the food." Shining Armor ordered. But Cadence stopped him with a tap on his shoulder.
"But you don't even know what I want." Cadence complained.
"Yes, I do." Shining said to Cadence with a smile. "Just go find us a table okay?" Seeing him smile always put a warm spot in her heart.
"Okay." Cadence said as she went on a lookout for their table. She searched and searched for the perfect table that would suit them just right. She soon spotted a table. It was perfect. The table was clean, the window next to the stools show the sun/moon pink/purple show. It was beautiful. So Cadence ran straight near the table, and sat on the comfortable, cozy, red, white, and black stool. As soon as she got comfortable, she saw Shining Armor walking with a tray with their food. One side had a chicken sandwich next to onion rings and a water. The other looked like a big, double cheese burger next to large fries and a large orange pop. She didn't know which one was hers. Cadence loved them both dearly. But Shining finally came, and gave her the chicken sandwich meal.
"Since your not a burger lover, I just thought maybe you try something new. For once, it'll cause you to not get fat." Shining Armor said to Cadence while taking a big bite out of his sandwich. "Let's eat!"
Cadence didn't waist anytime to stuff the new sandwich in her mouth. Once she took a bite, her eyes began to water up.
"This is the best sandwich I have ever tasted." she said while whipping her happy tears and began to tear up her leftovers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Afterwards, time passed. It was 8:30pm. Not too long. Shining Armor and Cadence both rubbed their bellies and moaning from the delicious food they just ate.
"Want desert?" Shining asked. But Cadence's belly grumbled.
"How about next time." she said while laughing. The two headed out of the fast-food restaurant and said good-bye to the three leftover costumers.
"That food was amazing! Maybe I should those chicken sandwiches more often." Cadence said while walking with pride. Shining Armor laughed.
"What's so funny?" Cadence said while giggling a little.
"I've never had this much fun before ever in my life." Shining said with his eyes closed feeling the breeze of cold air blow through his blue hair. Cadence began to blush. She never had that much fun in a while. The only fun time she had was when she and her two aunties took her to Niagara Falls for a vacation. But today, she never had so much fun like this every in her life.
"We've got school tomorrow." Shining Armor said while looking down at Cadence. "I'll show you around." Cadence's eyes widen quickly and she began to smile.
"Thanks." The two soon reached Shining Armor's home. Cadence held tightly to Shining Armor's robe, like she didn't wanna let go of it, and Shining saw that.
"You know, you can keep it." he said, "I didn't really need it anyway."
"Really?" Cadence said as she gripped his robe even tighter.
"Yeah." Shining replied, "it'll remind you of today." At that moment, Cadence didn't waste anytime giving her lover a hug, and he embraced her back.
"Thank you." she said.
"Your welcome." he replied. Soon, Cadence let go of their embrace a little and looked into Shining Armor's eyes. He looked into her eyes.
"See you tomorrow." Cadence finally said, and let go of their embrace.
"See ya." Shining said waving to Cadence, who was alright gone. As Shining Armor walked in the house, he saw his mother standing right in front of him with arms crossed.
"Mom," Shining Armor began, " I can explain."
"It's okay. I know." Twilight Velvet said heading up the stairs, "but you can tell me about your day tomorrow." As his mother headed up the stairs, Shining sighed in relief.
"Phew!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As she skipped happily down the street, Cadence headed towards her home. She was still excited over what happened between her and Shining Armor.
"We could've kissed!" she squealed to herself, "but we just met and we're now becoming friends." Cadence continued to talk to herself until she reached her house. She quietly opened the door. Soon she saw that the lights came on and heard footsteps.
"Cadence! Oh it's just you." Luna said running up towards Cadence, giving her a big hug. "I was so worried about you! Where have you been? Did you deliver those boxes?" Luna had been all in Cadence's face asking lots and lots of questions like she was a robber or something.
"It's been fine. I'm not dead. As you can see, I'm right here." Cadence said while waving her arms up and down.
"Oh that's a relief." Luna said. She then paused, and stared at the blue and white striped robe she was wearing. "What are you wearing?"
"Oh this.......it's just........Shining Armor's." after Cadence finished that sentence, Luna jumped up with joy and hugged Cadence until she couldn't breath.
"Awwwwww..........young love. I bet that's where you were all day. Isn't it?" Luna said getting in Cadence's face once again.
"Yep. And I understand when you said, love takes time." Cadence said with a evil grin on her face, " which is why I have this suspicion that he likes he back."
The two laughed for a minute.
"Yeah, but we girls don't completely understand boys, but there will come a time that we will." Luna suggested.
"Yeah, your right." Cadence agreed. "Well I'm heading to bed, I got school tomorrow."
"Really, or do you just wanna see Shining Armor?" Luna said while laughing.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny." Cadence said.
"Goodnight my little princess." Luna said waving goodbye to Cadence.
"Nite." Cadence said back.
