The Principal & The Student

"Lets go back to your place shall we?" Skull asked Cinch as they left the restaurant

"Indeed lets." Cinch said

And like that the two were off towards Skull's car. Pinkie and Rainbow Dash could NOT believe their eyes.

"WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!" Rainbow asked

Meanwhile outside where they parked, Skull opened up the door to the passenger side for Cinch and went to the other side where they closed their doors simultaneously.

"Ready to go?" Skull asked

"Do you need to ask?"

"Yeah good point." Skull said

Skull then hit the gas and they left the area unaware that Pinkie and Rainbow had watched from a far.

"This, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Rainbow shouted

"We need to tell the others!" Pinkie said

"ASAP!" Rainbow shouted

Sunset was in awe. She couldn't believe what just happened on CCW. Suddenly her cell phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Sunset said as she answered

"SUNSET! YOU ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Rainbow said

"Yeah?" Sunset asked

"SKULL'S DATING PRINCIPAL CINCH!"

"WHAT?!"

Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight had the same reaction to receiving the news. They all even agreed to meeting up at CHS tomorrow to discuss the situation further. Meanwhile Skull had returned to Cinch's house.

"This was kind of fun!" Skull said, "Sorry we have to part ways like this."

"Nonsense. Wanna come into my house?"

"Um, I'm not sure."

"Why not?" Cinch asked

"It's only been the first date and we're already in love with each other. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works."

"Skull, do you not remember what I said?"

"What did you say?"

"The older a woman gets, the less demands they have, and the more attention they need. I don't exactly have that much in terms of standards despite my appearance in others."

"Weird. When I first saw you I thought you had standards up the ass."

"Well you know what they say. Looks can be deceiving."

"Indeed they can. Well. I guess I'll take you up on that offer after all."

"Lets head in shall we?"

"Yes. Lets." Skull said before turning his car off

"You won't regret it." Cinch said

I hope not. Skull thought

The two then exited out of Skull's car and made their way towards Cinch's house holding hands as well. Cinch then used her house key from under the mat to unlock the door and went through first. Cinch's house looked like any old house would to Skull's surprise, normal looking living room, kitchen, stairs leading to the upper floor, looked pretty normal.

"Huh. This is kind of-"

"Normal?"

"Yeah. I expected it to be a little different given who you are and stuff."

"Rumors and little things like that can ruin one's own image. Make them appear to be someone they aren't. Like for example, everyone knows me to be the 'perfectionist winning' principal right?" Cinch said as she poured two glasses of wine

"Yeah?"

"Well. What if outside of that I'm someone else entirely? What if outside of that supposed character I'm actually a really nice person?"

"Ummm."

"What if you got to know me better, the rumors look like nothing but just that. Rumors."

"That's a good point." Skull said as Cinch offered him a drink which he took without hesitation

"I'm letting you drink wine even though you're under age. The supposed real me wouldn't do that now would she?"

"No."

"See? This is what happens when we let appearances tell the tale. I'm only like the way my profile reads because I need to be. Truth be told, the Friendship Games did change me for the worse. I've now started drinking during school time and it's caused confusion and delay."

"Why though?"

"I've always been a bit of a drinker. It wasn't until the Friendship Games though that it got this bad."

"I remember. I was told by a few of the CHS classmates."

"I think it's time though that I put the past behind me. Let me ask you, do you happen to not get a lot on your check at the end of the month?"

"No not really, I've basically been given a small minimum wage due to the fact Pony Joe's in many different cities and countries. A lot of the big bucks go to the cooperates who just sit on their ass and do nothing while I'm trying to fill out orders non stop."

"What if I was to offer you a job at Crystal Prep?

"'Scuse me?" Skull asked

"Well, lets look at it this way. You're not gonna get anywhere at your rate in terms of money right? Crystal Prep has huge a funding. We'd certainly pay you enough to get you the money.." Cinch said before present her drink, "To our new start?"

"To our new start." Skull said clanging his drink against Cinch's before taking a sip, "Ngh! Man! I forgot wine gave me a headache."

"Well I know something that'll cure it."

"Huh?"

Just then, Cinch came in for a passionate kiss, which you shared with her. Truth be told, he finally felt happy for the first time in forever.
