Lemona rushes quickly to the only mall in Ponyville. “I need to hurry before I don't get that perfume I always wanted!”
‘This job is so boring.” said Infernus playing with his mane and Lemona rushes to his counter
“I need Ché Flure Stat!”
“Sorry, sold the last one two minutes ago” Lemona started to get mad
Celestia Da-Infernus is that you?” she realized. Infernus was a classmate of hers from high school, and one she had always had a tiny crush on.
“Hey Lem.”
"I have to say you look good in a pink apron.” she says jokingly and giggles
“I hate this uniform, but I need the job.” she sighs
“That's what you get for taking Jenny to the Prom.” Jenny was the class golddigger.
“Hey! I guess you don’t want any of this then.” he grabs something and dangles a bottle of the perfume she wanted.
You son of a- give me it! she starts to reach for it
“This is the one they gave to me for free, it’s mine.” he quickly pulls it back.
“What do you want for it?! 10,20,100?” she asked desperately.
“Judging by the way you were acting earlier, I’m inclined not to give it to you” He said taunting her.
“How was it my fault you were stupid enough to go with a gold digger...sorry! You are not stupid sorry!” She didn’t mean what she said she needed the perfume.
“Hmm, I guess you really don’t need this.” he taunted
“Stop it before I break your!” she threatened him but she was interrupted by him”
“Nope, your outburst just confirmed that you won’t get it.” he puts the bottle in his bag.
“Great...wait! I can just tell the manager.” she said full of confidence.
“Tell him what exactly?” he questioned.
“You were slacking off.” she said reassuringly
“I’m at my job, you’re the one holding up the line.” he gestures to the line behind her.
“...fine I'll just take my money elsewhere.” and she began to walk out, but as she was leaving, Infernus slipped the bottle into her bag, with a devilish grin on his face, but she was none the wiser to his antics.
“Well might as well get a necklace” she said trying to be happy as she walks to a HAYs jewelry store.
“Hi”
“What kind of jewelry would you like?” asked one of the workers.
“Hmm that voice sounds familiar…” she looked at the worker closely before the worker realized who she was talking to.
“Lemona?!” she looked surprised at the pink pegasus.
“Waterfall?! Oh my Luna how are you?!” she hugs her childhood friends and she hugs her back.
“Great, they give me a discount for working here, and I’ve got a few new things I can’t wait to show you.” Then she smelt something sweet.
“Did you get some perfume?” she asked
“Well I was but Inferdork didn't give me the one I wanted so I'm getting a necklace you have anything Purple and silver?”
“We have a few amethyst and silver necklaces. Are you sure you don’t have any perfume? I can still smell it.”
“Hmm…”Lemona checks her bag “that son of a gun…”
“What?”
“Well I owe him...good grief...anyways the necklace would look great with my new dress.”
“I think somepony likes you.”
“What no!....Really?”
“Yeah!”
“What do I do?!”
“Stay calm. Wait for him to ask you out.”
“What and let him ask me out like he did Jenny?” she shivers “worst day ever.”
“He looked so desperate, you have to admit it was funny.”
“Yeah...I guess...to be honest I kinda wanted him to ask me…”
“You like him too? This is so perfect”
“Yeah...how is it perfect also did you hear that Fiesta is holding a party at his house?”
“No! Really?”
“Yeah...wait why would I bring that up unless…” she then realizes what he was going to do. “he's going to ask me to that?!”
“Maybe.”
“Gah! I gotta talk to him BRB”
“Kk, you still want the necklace?”
“Hold it for me I have mare business to attend to” she sprays herself with the perfume.
“Okay” Lemona walks back to the Hacy's.
“I wonder if she got my present?” Lemona then jumps on him.
“you on break?” She asked
“Ahh! he screams before he turns himself around. “Just got off.”
“Good let's go to the food court she gets off him.
“Okay?” He questioned before Lemona walks off*
“you coming or nah?” he follows her.
“I’m coming. Glistening walks over to them.
“Hey lovebirds.” Lemona nudges Infernus and he blushes blushes.
“What do you mean?” Lemona blushes and giggles.
“You two love each other, so I called you lovebirds.”
“Heh....” Infernus blushes harder.
“Uhh...I guess so.”
“Yeah…” he kisses her on the cheek and Lemona blushes and kisses him back
“I was right.” Lemona rolls her eyes.
“Yeah…
“I need to go get food or else I won’t be able to get lunch before my break ends.
“Umm...okay see ya” Lemona whispers to Infernus. “let's go before she finds out you're on break.”.
“Yeah, we should.
“”Well we better go...bye.” Lemona runs off with Infernus*
“See ya later.” Glistening runs off to the food court.
Tropical Bolt and Glistening Waterfall
Tropical is taking orders at his summer job. “would you like some hay fries?” Glistening takes next spot in the long line.
"Okay that's $13.42." He takes the money and puts it in register and give the pony his food. “next!” he yells as Glistening walks up.
“I would like a number 3 combo.”
“Okay” he puts in the order. “would you like a small or medium?”
“Small.”
He puts it in but then he gets distracted by her. “I'm sorry but you are the most beautiful pony I’ve met...I mean!” he goes back to work quickly and blushes and she blushes,
“I’m sure you tell that to every mare you meet.”
“No I'm usually focused on my work but you...you seem different then most who tried to flirt to me.”
“You flirted with me big guy”.
“I usually don't flirt at all there's a 2% chance I will.”
“2%?”
“Fine 1% I don't flirt.”
“1%?”
“Is your phone dying?
“No why do you ask?
“Ah- never mind here *gives her her lunch* that's $5.83.” She hands him 6 bits. “Keep the change.” she walks off.
“Wait!” he gives her change and a piece of paper with his number on it. “keep your change.”
“I’m giving you my change.” She takes the paper.
“I don't need it.”
“Just keep it already."
“No it's your hard earned money I don't want it l."
“Consider it a gift and KEEP IT."
“Not keeping it."
“Are we really arguing about this?"
“Yes" Tropical smiles.
“Fine I’ll take it." She takes the change, and slips it into his pocket when he’s not looking.
“Okay bye I need to work." she checks her watch.
“Crap I’m late. Glistening runs off.
“She's nice very humble." he says to himself.
After working hours…
Walking home, when she gets jumped by two ponies, then starts fainting Tropical sees it and he steps in.
“Excuse me but if I didn't know better you were hurting her.”
“Get out of our way punk." said the lead mugger
“No I won't." The lead muggers pulls out a knife.
“I’d suggest you get out of our way before someone gets hurt." said the mugger Tropical makes fire from his hoof being a firebender
"No I suggest that YOU two leave before you get burned." the mugger tries to cut him anyway but Tropical melts knife.
"Okay so we can do this the easy way or the hard way." the lead mugger runs away with the other mugger in fear.
"Good they’re gone." he checks on her. "I gotta take her to the hospital." he picks her up and runs to the nearest hospital.
The next morning…
Glistening wakes up. "Where am I?" Tropical is sleeping on a chair.
"zzz...would you like some fries?....zzz" She shakes him awake.
"What happened?"
"AHH Milkshakes! Huh? oh hi." she repeats what she said.
"What happened Mr…" waiting for him to answer.
"Tropical Bolt and you fainted two guys tried mugging you."
"Thank you for saving me."
"No problem Ms…" waiting for her to answer.
"Glistening Waterfall"
"A beautiful name for a beautiful pony."
"Thank you." she kisses him on the cheek. "My savior." she blushes.
"No problem." he kisses her on the cheek and blushes a bit.
"So..."
"Yeah…" they stared at each other for ten minutes
"What time is it?" she asked
"It’s 8:55 in the morning."
"Then I can do this without worrying about being late." she kisses him on the lips and he accepts it taken by surprise a bit.
"It’s never too late."
"No I mean for my job."
"Oh!" he blushes in embarrassment. "Where do you work?"
"The Hays at the mall."
"I’ll go with you...you know for protection…" She blushes.
"Oh it’s not for a few hours yet".
"That’s all the time I need." he kisses her again she then remembers something
"Sorry, but my parents are probably wondering where I am."
Yeah true I’ll walk you home."
Thank you." helps her out the bed.
"Woah" stumbles and leans on him for support.
"I got you. he helps her.
"Thanks." she nuzzles him.
"No problem" he nuzzles her back as he walks to her house while she's leaning on him and nuzzling him at the same time.
"Well here we are."
"Wait here." she walks to the door and the knocks.
"Oh my Luna you’re safe. her mom hugs her. "Hun! Glistening is home!"
'Where were you young lady?" her dad puts on a stern act, then hugs her. "I missed you."
"Are you hurt?" Tropical coughs.
"Who’s that?"
"He’s my new coltfriend, he saved me from some bad ponies."
Oh my Celestia." her mom faints from the coltfriend part.
Somebody tried to hurt you? What did they look like? he walks to the door.
"Well sir if I may explain…"
"Yes…"
"The two ponies were wearing masks and had on clothes that blocked the color of their fur so we don’t know I scared them off they won’t be bothering her anymore."
"Thank you young stallion. I’ll tell the police station anyway."
"Okay." her mom recovers.
"Wha? what happened?"
"Bolt was explaining what happened dear."
"Yes Oh and I’m Tropical Bolt your daughter’s coltfriend." he shakes their hoofs.
"COLTFRIEND! OH MY LUNA! HUN!"
"It’s okay dear, he seems like a good pony, he protected our daughter."
"Ooooh! Okay but if you do anything to hurt her you will regret it." she gives him a glare.
"O-okay mrs..."
"MOMMM!"
"I gotta watch out for my little girl."
"I’m not that little anymore."
"Okay" she turns to Bolt. "I’m watching you." goes into the house.
"Your mom scares me."
"She’s not too bad once you know her."
"Yeah."
"Shall we go?"
"I need to go to the police station, see you two later." her dad walks off.
"Bye Sir"
"Goodbye"
"So your mother."
"Just get in you two."
"Can we go?"
"Where If I may ask?"
"The mall, I want to look around there."
"Okay but I’ll be on my hooves If I feel anything off I’m going to find you two."
"O-Okay Mrs…"
"Sunrise my name is Dazzling Sunrise."
"O-okay Mrs.Sunrise"
"You keep Glistening safe okay?"
"Let’s go, bodyguard." she giggles.
"Okay Ms. Glistening." he helps her walk to the mall as she leans on him and nuzzles the whole way. Lemona notices them.
"Oh looky here! Who’s the lovebird now? Hey Boltin what’s up?" Glistening blushes.
"You two know each other?"
"Yeah she kinda threw a fit about her food…"
"IT WAS COLD AND IT WAS SOUP!" Glistening laughs.
"You threw a fit about cold soup?"
"Yeah! I take my food seriously."
"Yeah I had to make a new one and she kept talking the whole time i was cooking of course I blocked her out." Glistening laughs even harder.
"….where’s Infernus?" She looks around. Ahh! there he is. Lemona yells at him. "INFERNUS! GET OVER HERE!" trots over.
"Yeah Lem?" Tropical whispers to Glistening.
"she also threatened to break my arms… she’s scary…"
"Meet Tropical Bolt the guy I told you about."
"Hey Bolt" he does a secret hoofshake with him and Glistening still laughing, but not nearly as hard.
"Wassaup Furn?"
"YOU KNOW HIM!"
"Summer Camp two years ago."
"We’re somewhat old friends."
"……...Well"
"Sorry about the soup."
"bygones be bygones."
"Let me guess, she went on a rant about something wrong with her soup."
"Ok...mhm"
"IT WAS COLD! I don’t want cold food! and I don’t rant I don’t complain! why!?…" Tropical whispers to Glistening.
"He made a big mistake."
"Yeah"
"What Lem?"
"No we are finished buster" She pokes him. "You think I rant too much!? you think I complain too much?!"
"You’re perfect just the way you are."
"Mmm! Okay...I forgive you… and you too Bolt." Tropical is still whispering.
"It wasn’t even my fault it was the head chef’s fault." he speaks normally. "Okay." Glistening's phone rings.
"Oh Well, I gotta go now, my work is calling."
"Yeah It was nice see you guys again!"
"Me too. See ya."
"Yeah see ya lovebirds!"
