Love's Complicatedby EllyCooChaptersChapter IChapter IIChapter IIIChapter IVChapter VChapter ICotton Candy and Prism were sitting on a tree. The stallion was almost sleeping and Candy was just passive, laying on her boyfriend's back. The only noise was coming from the foals playing next to them, causing Prism to stay awake. Finally, the blue earth mare broke the silence: "I really think we should tell them, though." "Why?", groaned Prism. "It's not... *yawn* important..." "What if they find us... doing couple stuff? They'll be totally hurt we didn't tell them earlier." "There's something very useful called lying. Harmless lying." "I really wanna tell them though...", she whimpered. "Just let them find out by themselves!", yawned Prism once again. "Nah, I can't hold my excitement. I'm going home tell my family I'm dating the awesome Prism Bolt!" She giggled at Prism's blush and embarrassed groan and jumped down the tree. Prism Bolt flew down next to her and held her in his arms. "You'll really break your legs if you keep jumping down trees like that." "Being overprotective already?", she nuzzled him. "That's silly." She trotted the Pie family way back to Sugarcube Corner, followed by her new boyfriend Prism Bolt. The stallion couldn't help but look at her pomfy, cute little plot. And it would be all his, soon... very soon... He smacked his face with a wing. What was he thinking? Finally, the couple arrived at the cake-like bakery. "Hallo everypony!", shouted Cotton when she opened the door. "Hi, Cotton.", said Sugar Rush. "Hi, Candy.", added Cloudy Skies. "We have something to tell you all", smiled Cotton sitting down the table with Prism Bolt. "Are you pregnant? With him?", asked her father, a concerned look on his face. "Yay! I'm a grandma!", squealed Pinkie Pie, jumping around. "Um... no...", mumbled Prism in embarrassment. "We just dated... like... A few minutes ago." "Yeah. We're... dating." Awkward silence again. Sugar and Cloudy burst out laughing. Pokey Pierce glared at them to shut them up and then looked at Prism and Candy. He couldn't help but picture them older with... a pregnant Candy. He shook off this thought and forced a smile, while Pinkie kept on squealing, down on the floor. Mrs Cupcake stroked Cotton's mane. "Congrats to you too!", she cheered. "Congratulations, Candy.", sniffed her father. "I'm... I'm proud of you." "Yes, I was sure you were gonna find someone!", exclaimed Mr. Cake. "My son Pound Cake had his eyes on you. I kept telling him you were too young for him, but he wouldn't listen! At least the problem's solved now." Everypony looked at the kind of old stallion weirdly. He took a step back and chuckled. "I'll just... go... Serve the... customers." He slammed the door behind him. Prism groaned. He'll have to keep his precious girlfriend away from that weirdo. He was already jealous Pound was an amazing flier, and now he had his eyes on Candy? Please. "We still got my parents to tell", said the dark blue pegasus. "Yeah, seeya later, family!", squeed Cotton. Her family waved bye bye to the couple who walked now out the bakery-house. Prism carried Candy on his back all the way to Cloudsdale. Candy looked at Prism with a worried expression: "Am I too heavy? Will you be okay? Will WE be okay?" "Oh come on, 'Dy, you're SUPER light!", he chuckled, kissing her nose ― and almost hitting a house. "Eep", whimpered Candy. Finally, they landed on a cloud. Not a very smooth landing, but at least they landed alive. Mostly alive. Prism Bolt opened the door and let Candy come off his back. She stood now on the floor, still a bit scared she might fall. Rainbow Dash walked in: "Hi, Prism, hi Candy. Soarin's cooking right now. What brought you here, Candy?" "We got something to say. But we need dad to be here", explained Prism. "And maybe Icy too." The little colt burst in through the door. "Hi, Candy!", he said, landing on her back. "You look wonderful today!" "Um, thank you? I didn't change anything.", she smiled. "You'd look even better if we moved away my stinky brother!", he said, and pushed Prism. "Hey! Stop pushing me away from Candy! She's MY girlfriend!" ..................................................................................................... "Awk-ward~...", smiled Candy, embarrassed. "Hey, no fair! You said you'd let me date one of the Pierces!", groaned Icy. "You can always date my sister, Icy.", giggled Candy. "... Soarin', come over here, your son's got something to show you.", called out Rainbow Dash. The greyish blue Pegasus came in and saw Prism pushing his brother off his girlfriend's back, which he huggled tightly. He immediately knew what was going on and smiled. "I knew you could move on one day or another!", he said, his voice trembling. "C'mere and hug me, son." "... Dad, you're weird.", laughed Icy at his father's moved expression. Rainbow Dash started tearing up too and hugged her husband, who hugged her back and they both laughed and cheered. Prism Bolt face-hoofed as Candy looked at the scene, amused. Icy was now laughing on the floor at the sight of his two pathetic parents. Prism turned Candy around so she couldn't see the monstrous scene. "Let's just go now." "Your parents are awesome", smiled Candy. "Right... Let's go before we drown in their tears." "Oh, and Icy! If you want to date a Pierce, take Sugar Rush or Cloudy, you can choose", she winked. "I'll think about it!", grinned the small colt. "At least your girlfriend is cool", he said to his brother. Prism rolled his eyes and took out his girlfriend, closing the door on his stupid little brother's face. Chapter IIIt was now almost night. The new couple was sitting in the park, looking really lovey dovey, which surprised most of their friends. Prism never looked like that. Not even with Whirlwind. Now they realized how... platonic Prism and Whirlwind looked when they were together. "... And that's how we dated!", finished Candy after telling the whole story. Anthea, who was being hugged by Turquoise, smiled warmly. Starburst stuck her tongue out. Everyone knew she had a small ― small, but she still had ― crush on Prism Bolt, and kind of felt bad for her. Golden Delicious reached out a hoof and patted her back, smiling. Turquoise grinned and said: "I'm so happy for you! We all are." "Yes", added Anthea. "We knew you would move on with a wonderful mare one day or another." Ugh, could they just stop reminding him about Whirlwind? His face darkened and he shrugged, hugging Candy more tightly. Illusion walked behind Prism and patted his head. "Now that you have a girlfriend, stop turning around mine, okay?" "Ugh, shut up. It's over now." "Now really though, stop turning around Claire", Candy glared at him. "Don't worry Candy, he'll never get to do anything to me anyway", laughed Clarity. "Yeah, Candy, I'd never... like... cheat on you.", he smiled and gave her a kiss on her small, cute, cheek. She blushed and nuzzled his neck, which made him eep. Then he kissed her tummy. They both giggled as their friend looked at Prism with a weird expression. Prism was... acting really strange. They could almost think it was a changeling! Maybe it was just the power of love. They all left the place, leaving the couple snuggling and kissing. Before leaving Starburst said: "You aren't dating yet, dummies. You need to have dates to date for real." Then she left. "She's right, Bolt, we should have serious dates." "And our first kiss, too.", added Prism. They both blushed and giggled awkwardly, looking away. They hadn't kissed on the lips yet. A few seconds of silence installed. Then Candy snuggled into Prism's large chest. The stallion wrapped his big wings around her small and hot body. He buried his muzzle into her mane and smelled something he would have totally expected: cotton candy. But with a bit of peppermint, too... and other delicious treats... And without knowing it, he bit it "Prism, is that how you show somepony you love her?", giggled Candy. "Hm? ... Oh! Ah, sorry...", he blushed of embarrassment. "I really want to eat you up though~" "I want to eat you up too! But you're too big." "Speaking of big...", started Prism. "Never mind." "We'll have to see that later", she said and closed her eyes again. "We're not really sleeping ... together ... in the park, right?" "No. It's too early for sleeping together, silly.", she raised an eyebrow. "We're just cuddling!" "Cuddling? I used to dislike hugs, but now... I love 'em." He gave her a kiss on her forehead. It felt strange for him to kiss a mare again. What if he screwed everything up, like with Whirlwind? What if she thought they fit better as friends, like with Whirlwind? Either way he'd do his best to keep his precious, cute, little girlfriend of his. Then, Candy slowly fell asleep. "Oh shi...", he groaned. He carefully lifted her up after a few other minutes, and flew to Sugarcube Corner and knocked on the door. "Hi there Prism!", said Sugar Rush. "Hi there Bolt!", said Cloudy Skies. "Shhh, your sister is sleeping", he smiled. "I'll take care of it", said Pokey Pierce, lifting his daughter on his back. "Thanks." "No problem.", he replied. "Oh, girls, if one of you is interested in dating my brother, he's free." "Ew, no thanks.", said Sugar Rush, walking back into the house. "Gross,... no thanks...", added Cloudy Skies blushing deeply (for some reason). They closed the door and Prism smiled. He sighed, cracked his wings and up he went, back to his cloud house. It was almost dark now, and his family was having dinner. He wasn't very hungry though. He just wanted to sleep and dream of Candy. Prism was really stressed out. He was going to have his first date with Cotton Candy. Hopefully he wouldn't mess up. Like with Whirlwind. He waited under the tree, chewing his hoof nervously. Finally, he saw his special somepony arrive, looking as embarrassed as he was. He kissed her on the cheek. "Hi, Bolt.", she smiled shyly. "Soooo, guess this is our first date huh?", he chuckled nervously. Awkward silence again. They never knew it could be that hard. They were friends since... like, forever, but it seemed so hard to say anything at that moment. Cotton Candy stroked the ground. "Let's get a milkshake." "Good idea!", the stallion smiled. They both stood up and walked together. A scary thought stroke Prism's mind: what if they weren't made to be a couple? Aaaagh, what would happen if they kept acting cold like this? He decided to make a first move and wrapped his wing around Candy's back, who smiled and nuzzled him. Hah, that wasn't so hard. Finally, they arrived at Sugarcube Corner. He opened the door for her, unusually gallant - which made Candy giggle. He couldn't just act all natural, since... well, look what happened between Whirlwind and him. He couldn't just act like Prism. They both entered. A table for two was free. "Let me pull that chair for you!", said Prism, flying before her. She blushed and sat down on the small chair. Before Prism could reach his seat, Pound Cake flew in and sat in front of Candy. Prism glared at him and groaned at the stallion who was giving Candy a flirty look. It didn't look like anything bad, but it was offending to Prism. "Hello, there, Candy. You look great today!" "Why does everypony say that?", she giggled. "Well thank y-" Prism already had his hoof on her cheek to turn her face to his, giving her a gentle, soft kiss on the lips. They had kissed before, but not on the lips. Candy blushed deeply as Pound Cake looked at the scene with a horrified look. "Ahm, I see you're busy...", he mumbled, flying away. "Bye, P!", waved Candy. Prism Bolt smirked and sat down at the table. This date seemed to start just fine. Chapter IIIMrs. Cupcake arrived, all giggle-y, holding two oatshakes that she put on the table. Prism thought: if he were with Whirlwind, he would have started a race. But no time for stupid stuff, and he didn't want to lose another mare. But Cotton Candy shouted first: "SHAKE RACE!" Prism's eyes widened at the sight of Cotton Candy drinking up her oatshake as fast as she could. Damn, he loved that girl. He hesitated on starting drinking up too, but she already finished. "Brainfreeeze...", she moaned and held her head in her hooves. Um... The stallion had no idea what to do. He made a movement of solidarity: he picked up his oatshake and drank up as fast as he could, the cold reaching the top of his head. Finally, they were both laughing and crying because of the brainfreeze. It ended up with a sort of stare, then with a kiss. A real kiss. A kiss with the tongue, and everything. It wasn't the first for Prism, but Cotton Candy had never experienced something like that. A throat clearing broke it. "I have your... cupcake box.", said Mr. Cake. He put it between the two of them. Cotton whimpered as she was separated from Prism. Her silliness was simply adorable. Hot and adorable. He smiled and reached out a hoof for her to huggle. They ate up the cupcakes one by one, looking at each other intensely. Prism finally looked away at the tilting of the doorbell. "Hah, I win", she smiled. "How can you even look for that long?", he chuckled, a bit impressed. "Maybe your eyes are pretty. I always agreed with Starburst on that." "Oh well, look who's coming..." Claws, the griffon-pony hybrid, son of Billy and Gilda, was at the doorstep. as Billy was Rainbow Dash's enemy and Gilda was no longer a friend, Prism had to hate their son too. They glared at each other. "Well well, look who's having a date with... an earth pony. A Pierce. So Whirlwind gave up on you huh? How can you be so lame to drop a chick?" "Shut up, Claws...", he groaned. "No, really. You should have waited a bit longer instead of immediately date a girl you don't like." Cotton Candy squeaked and glared at him as well. "It wouldn't be your type to like small and cute girls, right? You usually like the Whirlwind type. Did you become crazy after your break up?" "Shut your facehole, Claws. Cotton Candy is a wonderful mare." "She is kind of hot", admitted Claws after looking at her body. "Well anyway I have other subjects to tease you about. Like how much of a lamo you are compared to your parents. Such a shame." "Just get out of my life, Claws." "Okay then crybaby. I'll go to the other side of this bucking dumb bakery." On the way, he smacked Cotton Candy who squeaked again's butt with his tail. She groaned and hissed like a cat, glaring at the pedant Claws. Prism smiled. "Don't worry, you're better than Whirlwind." "I don't know if I should take that well or feel sorry for her...", she giggled. "Well, why not both?" "Okay." They looked at each other and shared a third kiss, a bit short this time. Then they finished up the cupcakes. There was only one last in the box. "Let's share it", said Candy. "Mrs Cupcake, a knife pl-" "Nah, let's just eat it up together." What a messy job. Crumbs were all over the table, because of the laughter. But they finally ate it up and laughed some more. Then they stood up to clean up a bit and leave. They walked through the Ponyville streets one against the other. It was a bit cold and they needed a bit of body heat. When they reached the park, they sat down on the tree where everything started. Well, that wasn't too bad for a first date, thought Prism, covering his girlfriend's body with his large wing. She dozed off, again. "It's cute how she falls asleep so quickly...", he said and nuzzled her neck. He had no idea how much they had slept together, but one thing was sure: it was the best kind of sleep he ever had in his entire life... "Hmmm, Dubz, stop it... It's tickling me~" Oh wait. I'm dating Candy now. Prism opened his eyes and smiled at his girlfriend. "I meant 'Dy." "Yah", groaned Candy, apparently offended. "You better. It's 6 PM now, Prism, I'm going home." She really seemed vexed. Prism bit his lower lip and flew down to his girlfriend, giving her a big warm hug. She pushed him a bit and looked away, upset. "Sorry... I didn't mean that." "You should stop dreaming about her", she replied coldly. "It's over between you and her." "I know it is - wait, I wasn't dreaming about her." "I can't believe you can't feel the difference between my kisses and hers. It could end just the same." "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." "I do repeat wars with my mother ALL the time, don't expect me to forgive you this way. Hmpf." "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." "FINE. I just want to be alone for the rest of the day, I don't want to hear you talk about Whirlwind anymore!" She ran back home. Prism sighed, giving up. Then he hit violently his face with his wing. Ugh, how could I have acted so dumb? She hates me now... He looked down then up, and flew back home. Icy was talking with Cloudy in the "garden". On the way, Prism smirked: good thing he told the twins about Icy. They made a cute little couple. Well, if Icy didn't have that weird crush on Whirlwind. Ugh, crush and Whirlwind in the same sentence... He opened the fridge and ate something. Then he took a shower, when he heard a knock at the window. "Ahrem", said a female voice. "AGH! I'm having a shower here, Whirl.... wind. Hey." "So... I heard you were with that Cotton Candy now." "Yeah." "Congrats. I also moved on." "Oh?" "With Hot Head..." "Nice." They both nodded, Prism still hiding himself with a towel. Then Whirlwind flew off, sighing a "Bye". The blue Pegasus closed the window and continued his shower. "I wish I could just forget her already!", he groaned. "I wish he could just forget her already...", sighed Candy. "I see", nodded Pumpkin Cake. "Don't worry Coco, just keep being the awesome mare you are and he will." "Thanks... I'll try", she smiled. Talking with Pumpkin Cake always made things better. Then she went off to the bathroom to have a hot bubble bath. Chapter IV"I shouldn't have left Prism like that... I should understand he still thinks about her." Candy really felt bad for being mad at Prism just for that. Pumpkin Cake had spent the night with her talking about love stuff. It was now 4 in the morning, but Candy didn't feel sleepy. Pumpkin, on the other hoof, was sleeping and snoring soundly. Candy sighed and went down her bed. "Nini, Pump." She went out of her room and decided to say sorry to her boyfriend. He didn't deserve that. *knock knock* Prism opened his green eyes and groaned, looking at the window. Whirlwind? Again? He waited a bit and blinked before opening the window. The purple mare went in. Boy, she's sexy., he thought. But without knowing it, he thought out loud. Whirlwind smiled and looked seriously at him. "I broke up with Hot Head." "Why?", he blinked. "He's a nice guy." "I realized I didn't actually like him. I feel like in a movie." "Yeah..." "A movie where a couple breaks up, both move on with somepony they don't actually like." "Um, Whirl... I actually like Cotton." "... And then they come back together." Whirlwind was now real close to him. A bit too close, even... He blushed at the contact. She's so hot... He couldn't resist but wrap his arm around her waist and make her body stick to his. Buck. What am I doing?! They both blushed deeply, and Prism took off his hoof, mumbling a faint "sorry". She smiled and stroked his cheek, whispering to his ear. "See? You still love me.", and she kissed him on the lips. "Hmpf!", he groaned and pushed her away. "I want to move on, Dubz. You're not helping." "Why move on when you don't need to?", she said, pulling Prism to her. "Prism, I jus...", said a high-pitched voice at the doorstep. The thing she was seeing paralyzed her. Her boyfriend was on his bed, Whirlwind under him giving him a kiss, and him stroking her butt. Tears formed at the corner of her eyes that she quickly wiped away. "I'll... just go...", her voice trembled. "No, Candy! Please!", he shouted. Too late. She already ran off, taking Cloudy with her. She told her little sister that she couldn't come visit Icy anymore. Never talk to the Dash family. "This is all your fault!", groaned Prism to Whirlwind. "Not my fault if you still love me... Can't you just see? I'm sorry I left you, we were the perfect couple!" "Whirl, you just blew all my chances with Cotton Candy." "Come on, Prism! You don't even like her!" Prism stood up and slapped Whirlwind. It was the first time he slapped a girl. It felt really good though. He pointed the window with his hoof. "Get out." "P-prism..." "GET. OUT." "But Prism, I know you..." "GET OUT!", he roared at her face. Whirlwind started really crying and flew out quickly through the window. Prism breathed heavily. Whirlwind was hot, but she really was a bitch. Why did she start acting like that? She was probably jealous of Cotton Candy. She was still... in love with him... Poor Prism was confused. "Uh oh... How will I ever make it up to her?", he mumbled and bit his wing nervously. Then Icy burst in through the door, an angry expression on his face. "Prism! What did you do to Cotton?! Now I'm not allowed to talk to Cloudy!" "I... I'm sorry, it's grown-up stuff.", he mumbled. "Well you get your grown-up butt and go give her a grown-up apology!", his brother roared, jumping on him. "Exactly what I'm gonna do, lil bro." Prism flew down to Ponyville. He galloped, soon followed by Golden Delicious who wondered what was happening. They stopped at Sugarcube Corner. When Pokey Pierce saw Prism at the door, he opened it and glared at the stallion. "What do you want?" "I just want to talk to Cotton Candy." "She doesn't want to see you." "What did I do to her?!" Oh, why did he say such a stupid thing? Pokey Pierce gave the stallion a punch. Prism fell on the floor, bleeding from his nose. Pokey jumped on him, trying to punch him again, but Mrs. Cupcake and Pinkie pulled him back. He groaned loudly and went back in. Pinkie looked at Prism with a sorry look and closed the door. "This is going to be hard...", sniffed Prism. "Don't worry, pal. Yah'll get a private moment together. Wanna talk about it?" "Okay.", he sniffed again, standing up. "So, what's the deal with Cotton?" "She saw me on my bed stroking Whirlwind's leg who was under me giving me a wet kiss.", he stuck his tongue out. "Ah understand her.", Golden walked away a bit. "She forced me!", replied Prism, offended. "I get manipulated by hot mares too easily... If we go further with Candy, I don't think I'd do such a thing ever again." "But why did Whirlwind act like that?" "I don't know... She's just jealous of Candy, I guess. Jealous I didn't act like I do with Candy than with her..." "How do yah act with both?" "I acted natural with Whirlwind, which seemed fine, since we have a lot in common... But I don't want to make the same mistake, so I act smooth and gentle with Cotton Candy." "Ah see... Whirlwind always liked gentlecolts." "Well I'm not a gentlecolt and she has to deal with it!" "That's not what you're proving when you're with Cotton Candy." "I already explained that." "It's not really fair for Whirlwind, but don't force yourself: act natural with Candy, and if she doesn't like it... Her loss." "... Yeah..." They had reached Sweet Apple Acres already. Golden said goodbye to Prism and went into his barn. Prism looked up to the sky to take off. He hopped from cloud to cloud back to his home. Icy was standing at the door. "So?" "Sigh...", Prism looked down. "Loser.", Icy groaned and went back in. Yeah, he was. He was a big, huge, loser. Chapter VPrism, the hugest loser in Ponyville, and his little brother were laying on the bed, both of them extremely bored. They hadn't seen their girls in two days... and Prism was still trying to find a way to approach her. She even seemed to start dating Pound Cake, his double-enemy. He had no idea how to make it up to her... Especially after what she saw with Whirlwind. Whirlwind was a nice girl. Why did she do that? Oh right, jealousy. She broke up with him and wants him back now? This mare knew him way too much: she knew he could be easily manipulated. He just needed a bit more time with Candy before he could lose this bad habit. Prism moved to the side, looking at the window. As for Icy... Cloudy and him seemed to have quite a cute relationship. Cloudy already has a crush on him and the guy apparently enjoys talking to her. They also needed a bit more time for love, even young. Then, Icy would also forget about his stupid baby crush on Whirlwind. Apparently, this mare was everywhere in Icy's and Prism's lives. She also started dating Hot Head again. Hope she won't do anything bad to him... Nah, he isn't like Prism. Except for the cool guy part. And Nidra... at least she didn't stick her muzzle into his moving on business. They didn't love each other anyway. Icy buried his little face in his brother's wings. "Loser...", he grumbled, giving small punches to his brother's back. "I know I amm...", his brother groaned as well. Rainbow Dash went in after a knock on the door. "You guys sure aren't staying in bed all day! C'mon, get up! We've got some cloud cleaning to do." "BUT MOOOOOM" "No butts! Now let's go!", she cheered and opened the door wide open. Thirty minutes later, here they were, clearing the skies like any normal pegasus... Cloudy Storm, who was there, seemed to quite enjoy it. Icy decided to go talk to her, despite the fact she was 'grounded'. Cloudy at first didn't want to break the rules, but it soon didn't matter anymore. Prism looked at them with a sad smile, then down to the ground. His eyes twitched and looked straight at Cotton Candy, who was next to Pound Cake. His expression was even sadder now. And his stare so deep Cotton Candy looked back. His green eyes were impossible to look away from. As Pound Cake kept talking about how many competitions he had won, but she wasn't listening anymore. It seemed that his eyes were saying sorry, and sincerely. But it wasn't enough anyway... Even if she really, badly wanted him back. She looked back at Pound Cake. "Sorry, bro can you stop for a second?" "... bro...? Uh, sure, I guess..." She smiled with her cute, adorable, irresistible smile and Prism's face darkened a bit, snorting with envy as he wanted her to smile to him that way again. His heart twitched when he remembered their first date. It was adorable. Nothing like with Whirlwind. It was always so 'cool' and at first sight, we could think they were best friends until they started kissing. Candy trotted under Prism, who flew down his cloud. He couldn't help but grab Candy's cheeks and stick a passionate kiss on her lips. Her eyes widened in surprise. She pushed him away, though she wanted him to continue. "Listen... Prism... You, um... apparently like... having 'stuff' with several girls... at a time and..." "No, 'Dy that's not what yo-" "BUT IT'S FINE, really. Well... I can't have that kind of relationship... but I'm sure another mare or stallion's free for... that." "Candy I just want you to listen, it was Whirlwind who forced me... She like manipulated me and..." "Yeah and you just found her attractive enough to cheat on me!", she almost barked at him. "No... You know I don't control myself when...", he started tearing up. "Please, Candy, I need more time, I need more dates with you, it would change everything... Just, please... let's date again." He moved in closer. Candy touched his cheek where a tear rolled down with her hoof. Prism is... crying? Wow... I never saw him crying before, except the time when we were still kids and he fell from th... getting off-topic here. She removed her hoof to place her lips, then gave him kisses all over his face. "Is that a yes?", he smiled. "Nope", she giggled. "It's an okie dokie lokie!" He chuckled and hugged his little mare with his large arms. She was too nice. Too forgiving. Too cute. Too pretty. Too much better than all he had. As they huggled, he looked up to the clouds to see how Icy and Cloudy were doing. Weren't completely DATING but... it was a start. And Cloudy was blushing at the small distance between them. Prism looked back to Cotton Candy. "I need to have a word with Pound Cake. What I did to him is pretty unfair as well..." "Good luck, sweeti-", he choked. "Sweetie?!", she laughed. "What kind of cool couple call each other Sweetie??" "I-I'm sorry...", he chuckled, embarrassed. "It's fine, daaaarling.", she giggled more and ran to Pound Cake. It only took a few minutes, but there was a stormy cloud over Pound Cake's head. Poor guy..., thought Prism. He didn't like him, but it was true Candy didn't act right with him. But it was his fault anyway... Candy came back, a bit worried. "He won't talk to me for weeks...", she groaned. "Don't worry... You've got other cool guys who care about you." Candy smiled and buried her face in his chest fluff.
Chapter ICotton Candy and Prism were sitting on a tree. The stallion was almost sleeping and Candy was just passive, laying on her boyfriend's back. The only noise was coming from the foals playing next to them, causing Prism to stay awake. Finally, the blue earth mare broke the silence: "I really think we should tell them, though." "Why?", groaned Prism. "It's not... *yawn* important..." "What if they find us... doing couple stuff? They'll be totally hurt we didn't tell them earlier." "There's something very useful called lying. Harmless lying." "I really wanna tell them though...", she whimpered. "Just let them find out by themselves!", yawned Prism once again. "Nah, I can't hold my excitement. I'm going home tell my family I'm dating the awesome Prism Bolt!" She giggled at Prism's blush and embarrassed groan and jumped down the tree. Prism Bolt flew down next to her and held her in his arms. "You'll really break your legs if you keep jumping down trees like that." "Being overprotective already?", she nuzzled him. "That's silly." She trotted the Pie family way back to Sugarcube Corner, followed by her new boyfriend Prism Bolt. The stallion couldn't help but look at her pomfy, cute little plot. And it would be all his, soon... very soon... He smacked his face with a wing. What was he thinking? Finally, the couple arrived at the cake-like bakery. "Hallo everypony!", shouted Cotton when she opened the door. "Hi, Cotton.", said Sugar Rush. "Hi, Candy.", added Cloudy Skies. "We have something to tell you all", smiled Cotton sitting down the table with Prism Bolt. "Are you pregnant? With him?", asked her father, a concerned look on his face. "Yay! I'm a grandma!", squealed Pinkie Pie, jumping around. "Um... no...", mumbled Prism in embarrassment. "We just dated... like... A few minutes ago." "Yeah. We're... dating." Awkward silence again. Sugar and Cloudy burst out laughing. Pokey Pierce glared at them to shut them up and then looked at Prism and Candy. He couldn't help but picture them older with... a pregnant Candy. He shook off this thought and forced a smile, while Pinkie kept on squealing, down on the floor. Mrs Cupcake stroked Cotton's mane. "Congrats to you too!", she cheered. "Congratulations, Candy.", sniffed her father. "I'm... I'm proud of you." "Yes, I was sure you were gonna find someone!", exclaimed Mr. Cake. "My son Pound Cake had his eyes on you. I kept telling him you were too young for him, but he wouldn't listen! At least the problem's solved now." Everypony looked at the kind of old stallion weirdly. He took a step back and chuckled. "I'll just... go... Serve the... customers." He slammed the door behind him. Prism groaned. He'll have to keep his precious girlfriend away from that weirdo. He was already jealous Pound was an amazing flier, and now he had his eyes on Candy? Please. "We still got my parents to tell", said the dark blue pegasus. "Yeah, seeya later, family!", squeed Cotton. Her family waved bye bye to the couple who walked now out the bakery-house. Prism carried Candy on his back all the way to Cloudsdale. Candy looked at Prism with a worried expression: "Am I too heavy? Will you be okay? Will WE be okay?" "Oh come on, 'Dy, you're SUPER light!", he chuckled, kissing her nose ― and almost hitting a house. "Eep", whimpered Candy. Finally, they landed on a cloud. Not a very smooth landing, but at least they landed alive. Mostly alive. Prism Bolt opened the door and let Candy come off his back. She stood now on the floor, still a bit scared she might fall. Rainbow Dash walked in: "Hi, Prism, hi Candy. Soarin's cooking right now. What brought you here, Candy?" "We got something to say. But we need dad to be here", explained Prism. "And maybe Icy too." The little colt burst in through the door. "Hi, Candy!", he said, landing on her back. "You look wonderful today!" "Um, thank you? I didn't change anything.", she smiled. "You'd look even better if we moved away my stinky brother!", he said, and pushed Prism. "Hey! Stop pushing me away from Candy! She's MY girlfriend!" ..................................................................................................... "Awk-ward~...", smiled Candy, embarrassed. "Hey, no fair! You said you'd let me date one of the Pierces!", groaned Icy. "You can always date my sister, Icy.", giggled Candy. "... Soarin', come over here, your son's got something to show you.", called out Rainbow Dash. The greyish blue Pegasus came in and saw Prism pushing his brother off his girlfriend's back, which he huggled tightly. He immediately knew what was going on and smiled. "I knew you could move on one day or another!", he said, his voice trembling. "C'mere and hug me, son." "... Dad, you're weird.", laughed Icy at his father's moved expression. Rainbow Dash started tearing up too and hugged her husband, who hugged her back and they both laughed and cheered. Prism Bolt face-hoofed as Candy looked at the scene, amused. Icy was now laughing on the floor at the sight of his two pathetic parents. Prism turned Candy around so she couldn't see the monstrous scene. "Let's just go now." "Your parents are awesome", smiled Candy. "Right... Let's go before we drown in their tears." "Oh, and Icy! If you want to date a Pierce, take Sugar Rush or Cloudy, you can choose", she winked. "I'll think about it!", grinned the small colt. "At least your girlfriend is cool", he said to his brother. Prism rolled his eyes and took out his girlfriend, closing the door on his stupid little brother's face.
Chapter IIIt was now almost night. The new couple was sitting in the park, looking really lovey dovey, which surprised most of their friends. Prism never looked like that. Not even with Whirlwind. Now they realized how... platonic Prism and Whirlwind looked when they were together. "... And that's how we dated!", finished Candy after telling the whole story. Anthea, who was being hugged by Turquoise, smiled warmly. Starburst stuck her tongue out. Everyone knew she had a small ― small, but she still had ― crush on Prism Bolt, and kind of felt bad for her. Golden Delicious reached out a hoof and patted her back, smiling. Turquoise grinned and said: "I'm so happy for you! We all are." "Yes", added Anthea. "We knew you would move on with a wonderful mare one day or another." Ugh, could they just stop reminding him about Whirlwind? His face darkened and he shrugged, hugging Candy more tightly. Illusion walked behind Prism and patted his head. "Now that you have a girlfriend, stop turning around mine, okay?" "Ugh, shut up. It's over now." "Now really though, stop turning around Claire", Candy glared at him. "Don't worry Candy, he'll never get to do anything to me anyway", laughed Clarity. "Yeah, Candy, I'd never... like... cheat on you.", he smiled and gave her a kiss on her small, cute, cheek. She blushed and nuzzled his neck, which made him eep. Then he kissed her tummy. They both giggled as their friend looked at Prism with a weird expression. Prism was... acting really strange. They could almost think it was a changeling! Maybe it was just the power of love. They all left the place, leaving the couple snuggling and kissing. Before leaving Starburst said: "You aren't dating yet, dummies. You need to have dates to date for real." Then she left. "She's right, Bolt, we should have serious dates." "And our first kiss, too.", added Prism. They both blushed and giggled awkwardly, looking away. They hadn't kissed on the lips yet. A few seconds of silence installed. Then Candy snuggled into Prism's large chest. The stallion wrapped his big wings around her small and hot body. He buried his muzzle into her mane and smelled something he would have totally expected: cotton candy. But with a bit of peppermint, too... and other delicious treats... And without knowing it, he bit it "Prism, is that how you show somepony you love her?", giggled Candy. "Hm? ... Oh! Ah, sorry...", he blushed of embarrassment. "I really want to eat you up though~" "I want to eat you up too! But you're too big." "Speaking of big...", started Prism. "Never mind." "We'll have to see that later", she said and closed her eyes again. "We're not really sleeping ... together ... in the park, right?" "No. It's too early for sleeping together, silly.", she raised an eyebrow. "We're just cuddling!" "Cuddling? I used to dislike hugs, but now... I love 'em." He gave her a kiss on her forehead. It felt strange for him to kiss a mare again. What if he screwed everything up, like with Whirlwind? What if she thought they fit better as friends, like with Whirlwind? Either way he'd do his best to keep his precious, cute, little girlfriend of his. Then, Candy slowly fell asleep. "Oh shi...", he groaned. He carefully lifted her up after a few other minutes, and flew to Sugarcube Corner and knocked on the door. "Hi there Prism!", said Sugar Rush. "Hi there Bolt!", said Cloudy Skies. "Shhh, your sister is sleeping", he smiled. "I'll take care of it", said Pokey Pierce, lifting his daughter on his back. "Thanks." "No problem.", he replied. "Oh, girls, if one of you is interested in dating my brother, he's free." "Ew, no thanks.", said Sugar Rush, walking back into the house. "Gross,... no thanks...", added Cloudy Skies blushing deeply (for some reason). They closed the door and Prism smiled. He sighed, cracked his wings and up he went, back to his cloud house. It was almost dark now, and his family was having dinner. He wasn't very hungry though. He just wanted to sleep and dream of Candy. Prism was really stressed out. He was going to have his first date with Cotton Candy. Hopefully he wouldn't mess up. Like with Whirlwind. He waited under the tree, chewing his hoof nervously. Finally, he saw his special somepony arrive, looking as embarrassed as he was. He kissed her on the cheek. "Hi, Bolt.", she smiled shyly. "Soooo, guess this is our first date huh?", he chuckled nervously. Awkward silence again. They never knew it could be that hard. They were friends since... like, forever, but it seemed so hard to say anything at that moment. Cotton Candy stroked the ground. "Let's get a milkshake." "Good idea!", the stallion smiled. They both stood up and walked together. A scary thought stroke Prism's mind: what if they weren't made to be a couple? Aaaagh, what would happen if they kept acting cold like this? He decided to make a first move and wrapped his wing around Candy's back, who smiled and nuzzled him. Hah, that wasn't so hard. Finally, they arrived at Sugarcube Corner. He opened the door for her, unusually gallant - which made Candy giggle. He couldn't just act all natural, since... well, look what happened between Whirlwind and him. He couldn't just act like Prism. They both entered. A table for two was free. "Let me pull that chair for you!", said Prism, flying before her. She blushed and sat down on the small chair. Before Prism could reach his seat, Pound Cake flew in and sat in front of Candy. Prism glared at him and groaned at the stallion who was giving Candy a flirty look. It didn't look like anything bad, but it was offending to Prism. "Hello, there, Candy. You look great today!" "Why does everypony say that?", she giggled. "Well thank y-" Prism already had his hoof on her cheek to turn her face to his, giving her a gentle, soft kiss on the lips. They had kissed before, but not on the lips. Candy blushed deeply as Pound Cake looked at the scene with a horrified look. "Ahm, I see you're busy...", he mumbled, flying away. "Bye, P!", waved Candy. Prism Bolt smirked and sat down at the table. This date seemed to start just fine.
Chapter IIIMrs. Cupcake arrived, all giggle-y, holding two oatshakes that she put on the table. Prism thought: if he were with Whirlwind, he would have started a race. But no time for stupid stuff, and he didn't want to lose another mare. But Cotton Candy shouted first: "SHAKE RACE!" Prism's eyes widened at the sight of Cotton Candy drinking up her oatshake as fast as she could. Damn, he loved that girl. He hesitated on starting drinking up too, but she already finished. "Brainfreeeze...", she moaned and held her head in her hooves. Um... The stallion had no idea what to do. He made a movement of solidarity: he picked up his oatshake and drank up as fast as he could, the cold reaching the top of his head. Finally, they were both laughing and crying because of the brainfreeze. It ended up with a sort of stare, then with a kiss. A real kiss. A kiss with the tongue, and everything. It wasn't the first for Prism, but Cotton Candy had never experienced something like that. A throat clearing broke it. "I have your... cupcake box.", said Mr. Cake. He put it between the two of them. Cotton whimpered as she was separated from Prism. Her silliness was simply adorable. Hot and adorable. He smiled and reached out a hoof for her to huggle. They ate up the cupcakes one by one, looking at each other intensely. Prism finally looked away at the tilting of the doorbell. "Hah, I win", she smiled. "How can you even look for that long?", he chuckled, a bit impressed. "Maybe your eyes are pretty. I always agreed with Starburst on that." "Oh well, look who's coming..." Claws, the griffon-pony hybrid, son of Billy and Gilda, was at the doorstep. as Billy was Rainbow Dash's enemy and Gilda was no longer a friend, Prism had to hate their son too. They glared at each other. "Well well, look who's having a date with... an earth pony. A Pierce. So Whirlwind gave up on you huh? How can you be so lame to drop a chick?" "Shut up, Claws...", he groaned. "No, really. You should have waited a bit longer instead of immediately date a girl you don't like." Cotton Candy squeaked and glared at him as well. "It wouldn't be your type to like small and cute girls, right? You usually like the Whirlwind type. Did you become crazy after your break up?" "Shut your facehole, Claws. Cotton Candy is a wonderful mare." "She is kind of hot", admitted Claws after looking at her body. "Well anyway I have other subjects to tease you about. Like how much of a lamo you are compared to your parents. Such a shame." "Just get out of my life, Claws." "Okay then crybaby. I'll go to the other side of this bucking dumb bakery." On the way, he smacked Cotton Candy who squeaked again's butt with his tail. She groaned and hissed like a cat, glaring at the pedant Claws. Prism smiled. "Don't worry, you're better than Whirlwind." "I don't know if I should take that well or feel sorry for her...", she giggled. "Well, why not both?" "Okay." They looked at each other and shared a third kiss, a bit short this time. Then they finished up the cupcakes. There was only one last in the box. "Let's share it", said Candy. "Mrs Cupcake, a knife pl-" "Nah, let's just eat it up together." What a messy job. Crumbs were all over the table, because of the laughter. But they finally ate it up and laughed some more. Then they stood up to clean up a bit and leave. They walked through the Ponyville streets one against the other. It was a bit cold and they needed a bit of body heat. When they reached the park, they sat down on the tree where everything started. Well, that wasn't too bad for a first date, thought Prism, covering his girlfriend's body with his large wing. She dozed off, again. "It's cute how she falls asleep so quickly...", he said and nuzzled her neck. He had no idea how much they had slept together, but one thing was sure: it was the best kind of sleep he ever had in his entire life... "Hmmm, Dubz, stop it... It's tickling me~" Oh wait. I'm dating Candy now. Prism opened his eyes and smiled at his girlfriend. "I meant 'Dy." "Yah", groaned Candy, apparently offended. "You better. It's 6 PM now, Prism, I'm going home." She really seemed vexed. Prism bit his lower lip and flew down to his girlfriend, giving her a big warm hug. She pushed him a bit and looked away, upset. "Sorry... I didn't mean that." "You should stop dreaming about her", she replied coldly. "It's over between you and her." "I know it is - wait, I wasn't dreaming about her." "I can't believe you can't feel the difference between my kisses and hers. It could end just the same." "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." "I do repeat wars with my mother ALL the time, don't expect me to forgive you this way. Hmpf." "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." "FINE. I just want to be alone for the rest of the day, I don't want to hear you talk about Whirlwind anymore!" She ran back home. Prism sighed, giving up. Then he hit violently his face with his wing. Ugh, how could I have acted so dumb? She hates me now... He looked down then up, and flew back home. Icy was talking with Cloudy in the "garden". On the way, Prism smirked: good thing he told the twins about Icy. They made a cute little couple. Well, if Icy didn't have that weird crush on Whirlwind. Ugh, crush and Whirlwind in the same sentence... He opened the fridge and ate something. Then he took a shower, when he heard a knock at the window. "Ahrem", said a female voice. "AGH! I'm having a shower here, Whirl.... wind. Hey." "So... I heard you were with that Cotton Candy now." "Yeah." "Congrats. I also moved on." "Oh?" "With Hot Head..." "Nice." They both nodded, Prism still hiding himself with a towel. Then Whirlwind flew off, sighing a "Bye". The blue Pegasus closed the window and continued his shower. "I wish I could just forget her already!", he groaned. "I wish he could just forget her already...", sighed Candy. "I see", nodded Pumpkin Cake. "Don't worry Coco, just keep being the awesome mare you are and he will." "Thanks... I'll try", she smiled. Talking with Pumpkin Cake always made things better. Then she went off to the bathroom to have a hot bubble bath.
Chapter IV"I shouldn't have left Prism like that... I should understand he still thinks about her." Candy really felt bad for being mad at Prism just for that. Pumpkin Cake had spent the night with her talking about love stuff. It was now 4 in the morning, but Candy didn't feel sleepy. Pumpkin, on the other hoof, was sleeping and snoring soundly. Candy sighed and went down her bed. "Nini, Pump." She went out of her room and decided to say sorry to her boyfriend. He didn't deserve that. *knock knock* Prism opened his green eyes and groaned, looking at the window. Whirlwind? Again? He waited a bit and blinked before opening the window. The purple mare went in. Boy, she's sexy., he thought. But without knowing it, he thought out loud. Whirlwind smiled and looked seriously at him. "I broke up with Hot Head." "Why?", he blinked. "He's a nice guy." "I realized I didn't actually like him. I feel like in a movie." "Yeah..." "A movie where a couple breaks up, both move on with somepony they don't actually like." "Um, Whirl... I actually like Cotton." "... And then they come back together." Whirlwind was now real close to him. A bit too close, even... He blushed at the contact. She's so hot... He couldn't resist but wrap his arm around her waist and make her body stick to his. Buck. What am I doing?! They both blushed deeply, and Prism took off his hoof, mumbling a faint "sorry". She smiled and stroked his cheek, whispering to his ear. "See? You still love me.", and she kissed him on the lips. "Hmpf!", he groaned and pushed her away. "I want to move on, Dubz. You're not helping." "Why move on when you don't need to?", she said, pulling Prism to her. "Prism, I jus...", said a high-pitched voice at the doorstep. The thing she was seeing paralyzed her. Her boyfriend was on his bed, Whirlwind under him giving him a kiss, and him stroking her butt. Tears formed at the corner of her eyes that she quickly wiped away. "I'll... just go...", her voice trembled. "No, Candy! Please!", he shouted. Too late. She already ran off, taking Cloudy with her. She told her little sister that she couldn't come visit Icy anymore. Never talk to the Dash family. "This is all your fault!", groaned Prism to Whirlwind. "Not my fault if you still love me... Can't you just see? I'm sorry I left you, we were the perfect couple!" "Whirl, you just blew all my chances with Cotton Candy." "Come on, Prism! You don't even like her!" Prism stood up and slapped Whirlwind. It was the first time he slapped a girl. It felt really good though. He pointed the window with his hoof. "Get out." "P-prism..." "GET. OUT." "But Prism, I know you..." "GET OUT!", he roared at her face. Whirlwind started really crying and flew out quickly through the window. Prism breathed heavily. Whirlwind was hot, but she really was a bitch. Why did she start acting like that? She was probably jealous of Cotton Candy. She was still... in love with him... Poor Prism was confused. "Uh oh... How will I ever make it up to her?", he mumbled and bit his wing nervously. Then Icy burst in through the door, an angry expression on his face. "Prism! What did you do to Cotton?! Now I'm not allowed to talk to Cloudy!" "I... I'm sorry, it's grown-up stuff.", he mumbled. "Well you get your grown-up butt and go give her a grown-up apology!", his brother roared, jumping on him. "Exactly what I'm gonna do, lil bro." Prism flew down to Ponyville. He galloped, soon followed by Golden Delicious who wondered what was happening. They stopped at Sugarcube Corner. When Pokey Pierce saw Prism at the door, he opened it and glared at the stallion. "What do you want?" "I just want to talk to Cotton Candy." "She doesn't want to see you." "What did I do to her?!" Oh, why did he say such a stupid thing? Pokey Pierce gave the stallion a punch. Prism fell on the floor, bleeding from his nose. Pokey jumped on him, trying to punch him again, but Mrs. Cupcake and Pinkie pulled him back. He groaned loudly and went back in. Pinkie looked at Prism with a sorry look and closed the door. "This is going to be hard...", sniffed Prism. "Don't worry, pal. Yah'll get a private moment together. Wanna talk about it?" "Okay.", he sniffed again, standing up. "So, what's the deal with Cotton?" "She saw me on my bed stroking Whirlwind's leg who was under me giving me a wet kiss.", he stuck his tongue out. "Ah understand her.", Golden walked away a bit. "She forced me!", replied Prism, offended. "I get manipulated by hot mares too easily... If we go further with Candy, I don't think I'd do such a thing ever again." "But why did Whirlwind act like that?" "I don't know... She's just jealous of Candy, I guess. Jealous I didn't act like I do with Candy than with her..." "How do yah act with both?" "I acted natural with Whirlwind, which seemed fine, since we have a lot in common... But I don't want to make the same mistake, so I act smooth and gentle with Cotton Candy." "Ah see... Whirlwind always liked gentlecolts." "Well I'm not a gentlecolt and she has to deal with it!" "That's not what you're proving when you're with Cotton Candy." "I already explained that." "It's not really fair for Whirlwind, but don't force yourself: act natural with Candy, and if she doesn't like it... Her loss." "... Yeah..." They had reached Sweet Apple Acres already. Golden said goodbye to Prism and went into his barn. Prism looked up to the sky to take off. He hopped from cloud to cloud back to his home. Icy was standing at the door. "So?" "Sigh...", Prism looked down. "Loser.", Icy groaned and went back in. Yeah, he was. He was a big, huge, loser.
Chapter VPrism, the hugest loser in Ponyville, and his little brother were laying on the bed, both of them extremely bored. They hadn't seen their girls in two days... and Prism was still trying to find a way to approach her. She even seemed to start dating Pound Cake, his double-enemy. He had no idea how to make it up to her... Especially after what she saw with Whirlwind. Whirlwind was a nice girl. Why did she do that? Oh right, jealousy. She broke up with him and wants him back now? This mare knew him way too much: she knew he could be easily manipulated. He just needed a bit more time with Candy before he could lose this bad habit. Prism moved to the side, looking at the window. As for Icy... Cloudy and him seemed to have quite a cute relationship. Cloudy already has a crush on him and the guy apparently enjoys talking to her. They also needed a bit more time for love, even young. Then, Icy would also forget about his stupid baby crush on Whirlwind. Apparently, this mare was everywhere in Icy's and Prism's lives. She also started dating Hot Head again. Hope she won't do anything bad to him... Nah, he isn't like Prism. Except for the cool guy part. And Nidra... at least she didn't stick her muzzle into his moving on business. They didn't love each other anyway. Icy buried his little face in his brother's wings. "Loser...", he grumbled, giving small punches to his brother's back. "I know I amm...", his brother groaned as well. Rainbow Dash went in after a knock on the door. "You guys sure aren't staying in bed all day! C'mon, get up! We've got some cloud cleaning to do." "BUT MOOOOOM" "No butts! Now let's go!", she cheered and opened the door wide open. Thirty minutes later, here they were, clearing the skies like any normal pegasus... Cloudy Storm, who was there, seemed to quite enjoy it. Icy decided to go talk to her, despite the fact she was 'grounded'. Cloudy at first didn't want to break the rules, but it soon didn't matter anymore. Prism looked at them with a sad smile, then down to the ground. His eyes twitched and looked straight at Cotton Candy, who was next to Pound Cake. His expression was even sadder now. And his stare so deep Cotton Candy looked back. His green eyes were impossible to look away from. As Pound Cake kept talking about how many competitions he had won, but she wasn't listening anymore. It seemed that his eyes were saying sorry, and sincerely. But it wasn't enough anyway... Even if she really, badly wanted him back. She looked back at Pound Cake. "Sorry, bro can you stop for a second?" "... bro...? Uh, sure, I guess..." She smiled with her cute, adorable, irresistible smile and Prism's face darkened a bit, snorting with envy as he wanted her to smile to him that way again. His heart twitched when he remembered their first date. It was adorable. Nothing like with Whirlwind. It was always so 'cool' and at first sight, we could think they were best friends until they started kissing. Candy trotted under Prism, who flew down his cloud. He couldn't help but grab Candy's cheeks and stick a passionate kiss on her lips. Her eyes widened in surprise. She pushed him away, though she wanted him to continue. "Listen... Prism... You, um... apparently like... having 'stuff' with several girls... at a time and..." "No, 'Dy that's not what yo-" "BUT IT'S FINE, really. Well... I can't have that kind of relationship... but I'm sure another mare or stallion's free for... that." "Candy I just want you to listen, it was Whirlwind who forced me... She like manipulated me and..." "Yeah and you just found her attractive enough to cheat on me!", she almost barked at him. "No... You know I don't control myself when...", he started tearing up. "Please, Candy, I need more time, I need more dates with you, it would change everything... Just, please... let's date again." He moved in closer. Candy touched his cheek where a tear rolled down with her hoof. Prism is... crying? Wow... I never saw him crying before, except the time when we were still kids and he fell from th... getting off-topic here. She removed her hoof to place her lips, then gave him kisses all over his face. "Is that a yes?", he smiled. "Nope", she giggled. "It's an okie dokie lokie!" He chuckled and hugged his little mare with his large arms. She was too nice. Too forgiving. Too cute. Too pretty. Too much better than all he had. As they huggled, he looked up to the clouds to see how Icy and Cloudy were doing. Weren't completely DATING but... it was a start. And Cloudy was blushing at the small distance between them. Prism looked back to Cotton Candy. "I need to have a word with Pound Cake. What I did to him is pretty unfair as well..." "Good luck, sweeti-", he choked. "Sweetie?!", she laughed. "What kind of cool couple call each other Sweetie??" "I-I'm sorry...", he chuckled, embarrassed. "It's fine, daaaarling.", she giggled more and ran to Pound Cake. It only took a few minutes, but there was a stormy cloud over Pound Cake's head. Poor guy..., thought Prism. He didn't like him, but it was true Candy didn't act right with him. But it was his fault anyway... Candy came back, a bit worried. "He won't talk to me for weeks...", she groaned. "Don't worry... You've got other cool guys who care about you." Candy smiled and buried her face in his chest fluff.
