The big day had finally arrived. Scootaloo awoke at 8 in the morning, not one minute before or one minute after. She had four hours to get to the restaurant and was going to make very second before hand count. She took a shower and fixed her mane. She didn't dress up because it was supposed to be more discreet than that. She groomed herself so at least she would look attractive. She then went back to her room. Scootaloo took out her phone and called Applebloom.

"Hello?" Applebloom answered sounding like she had come down with the worst cold of all time.

"Applejack in the room?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yes" Applebloom answered

"Ok that explains the voice, did you get out of lunch?"

"Yes" said Applebloom

"Thanks Bloom i'll see you tomorrow." she hung up the phone smiling.

Scootaloo was ecstatic. She had no idea that Bloom was such a convincing actor. Now all she had to do was go in there and get Sweetiebelle. She had three hours still to get to the restaurant. Scootaloo laid back on her bed smiling. This was going to be a good date. Of course Sweetiebelle didn't know it was a date so that complicated things a little, but she would fix that in due time. She thought about how nothing could go wrong as she drifted off to sleep.

"Oh crap!" she yelled. It was ten minutes before her date with Sweetiebelle. She didn't care how bad her hair was messed up or anything she grabbed her scooter and rode off faster than she ever had before. She was scared she wouldn't make it she had three minutes and she was on the other side of town. She started stunting like crazy doing long jumps and making every risk she needed to get there on time. The clock struck 12 and she was still pretty far away she had no chance of making it. She stopped her scooter halfway there and cried. She didn't know what to do she was late. Then she remembered Sweetiebelle didn't think of this as anything more than an ordinary lunch. Being a few minutes late wouldn't be strange at all. She rode fast but did't risk her life stunting this time. When she showed up it was 12:10. She got up a lot of courage and walked in. Sweetiebelle was sitting at a table on the left side of the restaurant. It was next to a window. Considering the nice sunny weather outside it made a perfect natural light to set a mood. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Sweetiebelle closer up. She looked more beautiful then ever. The way the light hit her gave her an angelic glow that made Scootaloo melt inside. She was perfect. In that moment she knew that Sweetiebelle was the one. Scootaloo became ore confident then ever. She couldn't let Sweetiebelle get away. She walked over to the table and sat down across from Sweetiebelle.

"Oh hi Scootaloo!" Sweetie said in a cheery voice. "Applebloom couldn't make it she came down with a terrible cold. I hope she gets better soon." Just not before today Scootaloo thought smiling. She made a mental note that she owed Applebloom a lot especially if this went well, but it was worth it for Sweetiebelle. She thought about her plan to slowly work up to asking her out. She would subtly compliment her until the mood was right. One problem she thought. I don't know how to flirt especially not subtly. That would be an issue she thought but I have to try. Alright subtle subtle just start with something simple.

"You look like a fairy princess." Wait what the hay just came out of my mouth.

"Oh thanks I did my mane for a show Rarity is doing later.

Thank god for Sweetiebelle's completely oblivious personality thought Scootaloo. How could she not catch that though and more importantly why the hay did I say that. A fairy princess? Come on Scoots you can do better then that. Then a horrible though dawned on her. Sweetiebelle was totally oblivious. That means subtle wouldn't work she'd have to go straight for the kill. Ugh why is love so freakin' hard. Oh crap I'd better start talking i've been spacing out for too long. "So Sweetiebelle what are you going to get to eat?" she inquired.

"I'm looking at a salad." she said concentrating on the menu.

"Oh that's what i'm thinking about too." Scootaloo said.

A waiter came up to them. "Hello children what can I get for you today." he asked with a kindly smile.

"Specialty salad" they said together.

"Ok then kiddos coming right up." he said as he finished writing on his pad. Then he walked away.

"So Sweetiebelle what have you been doing lately?" Scootaloo inquired.

"I don't know." she said it quickly and irritably

What the hey was up with her. It must mean something is wrong. She had to figure out what it was. Oh damn me and my care for this filly. "Is there something wrong Sweetiebelle?" she asked cautiously.

"NO I-Imean no every things fine." she said catching her self.

Okay that was weird thought Scootaloo. I need to figure this out. However the waiter voice snapped her out of her train of thought.

"Here you girls go enjoy your meal." he said setting down one salad. Oh crap thought Scootaloo she had been zoo busy thinking that by the time she noticed the lone salad sitting on the table he was gone. What would she say given this incredibly awkward situation. More importantly who would get the food. The two girls looked into each others eyes and it seemed to say the same thing. MY FOOD. They both dived for the salad when it happened. Their lips touched. Scootaloo felt her fact turn red immediately. It had been an eternity now. Or half a second. Her time telling wasn't great at a time like this. All of a sudden the kiss broke. She looked to Sweetiebelle already hallway to the door. Tears streaming down her face.
