Aborted Romance

Shining Armor adjusted his tie, looking out at the restaurant in front of him. Even though he had agreed to meet her here, he wasn't so much of a fan of spaghetti.

He took a deep breath and trotted towards the entrance, but just as he was about to enter, he heard a loud crash. Looking behind him, he saw the captain of the Wonderbolts, Spitfire, rubbing her head and mumbling to herself.

"Stupid mail pony, always getting in my way," she said, looking in the bag she had hanging down from her neck. "Oh no. No no no no. Where did it go?" She started looking around frantically.

Shining Armor went to walk up to her, but stopped when he heard a crunch beneath his hoof. He stepped back and picked up the piece of paper, flipping it over.

It was a drawing of a Spitfire with a little filly, and she was teaching her how to fly. Shining Armor smiled a little and looked over at her.

Holding the drawing up, he spoke in a loud voice. "This is a really good drawing. I wonder who it belongs to!"

Spitfire quickly glared at him and pinned him onto the ground, grabbing the drawing out of his hands. "How dare you."

"What the—"

"How dare you steal this drawing!" Spitfire yelled.

"Woah, woah, what? I didn't steal it! When would I have time to? I just found it on the ground; you must've dropped it," Shining Armor said in his defence.

Spitfire frowned and stepped back. "I don't believe you, but I don't want to waste my time with someone like you." She went to fly off, but Shining Armor stopped her.

"Wait. I was supposed to be having dinner with someone else, but they haven't turned up. I can treat you to some, um, spaghetti?" he offered.

"Ugh," Spitfire said, unprofessionally for someone like her. "Spaghetti, I hate it." She pointed to the burger joint nearby. "Now there's a place worth going!"

"Great!" Shining Armor said, and the two walked (most of the way) to the fast food place.

After they finished eating, Shining turned to her. "So, you're looking to have kids one day?"

Spitfire blushed, but quickly hid it. "Well, yeah, so what?"

"Just saying," Shining Armor said as they turned to cross the road, "I think I can help you with that."
