"Ready Anon," asked Sunset, as I rushed out of my room zipping up my coat.

"Ready when you are, Sunny," I said, as I grabbed my phone and a few other things.

Sunset opens the door, as she walks into the hallway wearing a red coat, a pink scarf, and those mittens I had her wear since we first met.

I walk out and shut the door behind me. I then locked it and placed my keys in my coat pocket. We walk down the hallway and entered the elevator. We got in, as I pressed the button for the last floor. The two of us stood in the elevator, as the elevator music played. I look over to Sunset, as she looks up to me with a blush.

"So excited," said Sunset, as she gives me a giddy smile.

"I as well, Sunny," I said, as I held onto her mitten covered hand.

Her eyes lit up for a second or two the moment I held her hand. Her face was as red as a cherry, as she looked forward, making me want to giggle on how cute she looks like when she blushes. She reminds of that manga Monster Musume when Centorea blushes from holding hands with that Kimihito guy. That was a time before I met Sunset, but I was rather surprised that she didn't mind reading a hardcore ecchi series. Most girls would be like 'Ew!' or 'What the fuck?! Do guys masturbate to this shit?!' Sunset's reaction was different; she was a bit disgusted at first, but she actually continued reading it and was actually getting giggles from it.

The elevator stops, as the elevator gives out a ding before the doors slide open. Sunset and I walked through and walked past Ophelia, an old woman that lives two doors down from my apartment. She's a very sweet lady and she would always give Sunset and I leftovers when she didn't feel like eating more of whatever she makes. Sunset and I stop and waved back to her.

"Hi, Miss Ophelia," said Sunset and I, as Ophelia waved back to us.

"Hello, you two," said Ophelia, as she walks up to us, "Where are you two off to on a cold day like this?"

"We're on a date," said Sunset, as she wraps her arms around my left arm.

"How sweet," said Ophelia with a smile, "young love. I remember when I was your age, young lady. I met a young man named Gregory and he would take me on dates here and there. He would buy me chocolates and take me out to dance. Those were the good days."

"You had a boyfriend?" I asked.

"Gregory and I were married a long time ago, but he sadly passed away before you moved in two apartments down."

"Sorry for your loss," said Sunset.

"That's sweet of you, young lady, but there's no reason to pity me. I'm doing fine and when my time comes; I'll be reunited with him again. I must say Anon, because of how nice you were when I first met you; you somehow brought me back from depression after the loss of my husband. You and Sunset are like the children Gregory and I never had."

"That's very sweet of you," I said, as the three of us form a group hug.

"Anyway," said Ophelia, as the three of us broke the hug, "have a good date and enjoy your day together."

"Thank you, Ophelia," said Sunset and I, as Ophelia walks into the elevator.

Sunset held hands again and walked out of the building and towards the reserved parking spots. Outside was freezing, as the chill came up to us like a bus. Sunset and I rushed over to my car and hoped in immediately. Sunset and I shivered a bit, as I turned on the heaters on our seats. I grab out my keys and start the engine. The car turns on, as I switch my blue tooth on for Sunset and I to listen to our music. I got her into the music my parents listen to from their youth and I wanted to share that with Sunset. I flip through my music and picked out Land of Confusion.

"Oh," said Sunset with surprise, as she buckles herself in, "who's this? I keep thinking it's that Phil Collins guy."

"Hehehe, it is," I said with a chuckle, as I put my car in reverse.

We drove along the city, as many people walked along the cold wearing their warm and toasty coats. I then spot a place where I could park and went down there to see a spot. I was in luck; there are three empty spaces for me to park.

"Okay," I said, as I parked and began unbuckling, "let's have some fun."

"I can't wait," said Sunset, as she and I exit the car.

I lock the car before Sunset wraps her arms around my left arm. The breeze was cool, as we walked along the sidewalk. As we walked, I see many people hanging out with their loved ones and we're very clingy to one another. I guess that would make sense since it'll be Valentines Day soon.

"So where are we off to," asked Sunset.

"There," I said, as I pointed ahead.

Sunset looked ahead and gasped slightly; it was Barnes and Noble, her first favorite place to go to where she could find a perfect book to read.

"Sweet Celestia," said Sunset, as she grips onto my hand and drags me forward, "come on! Let's go!"

"She's like a kid excited to go to a circus," I thought to myself, as Sunset dragged me into the store.

As we got in, she looked around with amazement and began rushing towards the science fiction/fantasy section. I walk over to her, as she flipped through the books trying to find one she would love to have. She pulls out a novel that I haven't seen since middle school: The Last Unicorn.

"The Last Unicorn?" said Sunset with a cocked eyebrow, "have you heard about this book?"

"I have. It's about a unicorn who believes she is the last of her kind, but finds out that king Hagard has collected them all for himself. She goes on a journey and meets a magician, and a wife of a bandit. I read this book when I was in middle school. Definitely one of my favorite fantasy novels besides the Lord of The Rings Trilogy."

Sunset looked at the book and smiled. She hands me the book, as I held it in my hands.

"I would like that book, please," said Sunset.

"As you wish."

Sunset smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"So what are you getting?" asked Sunset.

"Well, I'm gonna go to the manga section," I said, as Sunset and I headed over there, "there's a sale. Buy two get one free."

"Really?"

"I heard about it on their website."

Sunset and I made it to the section, as the aisle was full of manga with many titles. I walk around the recently released and found One Punch Man volume 7. I grabbed ahold of that and flipped through the pages just to see how awesome it is. Sunset looks to the side, wondering what I was looking at.

"Another volume of One Punch Man came out?" asked Sunset.

"You know it, sweetie," I said, as I closed the book, "and why is One Punch Man awesome?"

"Because the Avengers are overrated?"

"You got it, babe," I said, as I hugged her.

I continue through the aisle and picked out the first volume ofMonster Musume: I Heart Monster Girls and the fifth volume of A Silent Voice."

"Oh, what's A Silent Voice?" asked Sunset.

"Perhaps you haven't seen me read it, but it's about this guy who bullied this deaf girl," I explained, "he one day bullied her to the brink of where she had to transfer to another school. Since then, his friends and other classmates began hating him. He was bullied for some years until he decided that he wanted to commit suicide."

"Sounds sad," said Sunset.

"He decided to quit his job, sell things from his room, and most of all, apologize to the girl he bullied back in elementary school. It's a powerful story on the consequences of bullying. I can't wait for the movie to come out soon."

"Sounds good," said Sunset, "mind if I read it?"

"Sunset," I said, as I place a hand on her shoulder, "You can read whatever you want from my library. Whatever I have is yours as well."

"Thanks Anon," said Sunset, as she gives me triple kisses.

I smiled, as I carried the books up to the register. I paid the books (luckily I had a membership card) and the two of us walked out of the store with four books in a bag. Sunset smiled childishly, as she hugged me.

"Thank you for the books, Anon," said Sunset happily, "thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

"Anything for my Sunny," I said, as I kiss her forehead.

She blushes, as the two of us walk along the streets. I began looking around for a place to eat and then my stomach begins to growl.

"Sounds like somebody's hungry," said Sunset with a giggle.

"Like to stop at that diner?"

"Sure."

The two of us walked along the street until we found Pete's Diner across the street; this place takes me back to when I was little. When I was six, my parents would take me there once a week and we eventually made friends with a worker named Katherine. Katherine was this thin woman, slick black hair, wears glasses, and I guess she was in her early twenties when I met her. She was a nice woman who would give me coloring books and give me a piece of chocolate.

"I wonder if she still works there," I thought to myself, as Sunset and I cross the street and walked up to the door.

The bells jingle the moment Sunset and I walked in. The place was half packed, as couples sat beside one another talking about whatever. I hold Sunset's hand, as the two of us walk towards an empty booth and sat down. As the two of sat there, a familiar face came up to us.

"Anon," said the woman, "is that you?"

"Katherine?" I said, as I looked up to her.

"My God, it's been a long while," she said, as the two give each other hugs.

"It has," I said, as the two of us stopped hugging.

Katherine adjusts her glasses before looking over to Sunset and then back to me with a smirk.

"Looks like Anon here has a girlfriend," she said, "I knew you were a cute kid back in the day and I knew that someday you would find a girl who would find you adorable as she is."

"Thank you, Ma'am," said Sunset, as she holds out her hand to Katherine, "my name's Sunset."

"Nice to meet you Sunset," said Katherine, as the two shake hands, "I'm Katherine. You could say that I met your boyfriend since he was a little tike. You picked the right guy to be a girlfriend to."

"Thanks," said Sunset, as she blushed.

"Anyway," said Katherine, as she pulls out her pen and a piece of paper, "what would you like to drink?"

"Do you have tea?"

"We have lemon."

"Lemon please," said Sunset, as Katherine wrote on her piece of paper, "and for you, Anon?"

"A coke please."

"Okay then," said Katherine, "I'll be back with your drinks and your menus."

Sunset and I were alone, as Sunset gives me a questionable and yet somewhat angry look.

"Something wrong, Sunny?" I asked.

"Care to explain?"

"Katherine? No need to get jealous, Sunny. I knew her since I was little. Plus, she's too old for me."

"That's all?"

"What more do you want me to say? I'm just saying that she's a childhood friend."

"Okay then," said Sunset, as she looked around the establishment.

"I'm serious, she's just a childhood friend."

"… I understand, she's just a childhood friend. That makes me feel a lot better."

"I never knew she would be the jealous type," I thought to myself.

Katherine comes back with a tray of our drinks and hands them to us.

"Thank you, Katherine," I said, as I grab ahold of my drink.

"Anything for Anon and his girl," said Katherine with a smile before handing us our menus, "I'll be back in about five minutes."

Katherine walks away, leaving us look into our menus. I flip to the second page and found salad with a side of fries. I must admit, after finding out that Sunset doesn't like meat, I've been more of a vegetarian than an omnivore. When I told her that there are people that eat both plants and animals, she flipped out and thought I was gonna eat her. Since then, I mostly ate salad, pasta, and other things that had no meat.

"Like to share a salad with me?" I asked.

"Would love to," said Sunset, "and does it come with a side?"

"Fries."

"Then yes."

I take our menus and place them down in the middle of the table for Katherine to pick up when she comes back. Sunset and I looked outside and began seeing people walking around doing their thing. We then notice three different people looking into their phones as though they were in the middle of a game. If I have to take a guess, it's probably that stupid Pokemon Go game that the internet is raving about. I tried playing it and then it asks me for a nickname, but keeps rejecting whatever name I put in.* As much fun as I hear, it leads to many consequences, like that man who got fired from his job because he got so obsessed with the game.

"Tch," I said, as I look away from the window, "stupid app."

"What was that," asked Sunset before sipping her tea.

"Just seeing those teenagers playing Pokemon Go on their phones," I said, as I sipped my coke.

"What about it?"

"It's addictive and I just don't like Pokemon. Since kids wouldn't shut up about it, I started watching Digimon since that show isn't conversation worthy and not a lot of kids talk about it. When I was young, nearly boys my age were playing either Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh. I kept on hearing kids talk about those shows day after day and it got very annoying. So I decided to watch Digimon since not a lot of kids wouldn't talk much about it. I guess Digimon wasn't as good to them then it was to me."

"Reminds me of when I was little," said Sunset, "back when I was a filly and was still living in Equestria, all of the other fillies would be playing with their dolls and it began to peeve me. I wasn't much into dolls, but I was much of a bookworm. I would lay in the grass, sit under a shady tree and read. When I read, I feel like I'm there with the character or characters go through the journey."

"Looks like that's something we have in common," I said, as I ruffle her hair.

Sunset blushes before taking another sip of her tea.

Katherine comes back and grabs our menus.

"What shall the couple like to order," asked Katherine, as she pulls her pen out.

"We are gonna share a salad with a side of fries," I explained, as Katherine writes the menu down.

"Alrighty. I'll be back in a little while," said Katherine before walking away.

"So Sunset," I said, as I wrap my arm around her, "how do you like our date so far?"

"It's good," said Sunset, as she kisses my cheek, "but I know it'll be better."

"We'll have a fun time at the arcade, Sunny. I'll show you how to play Dig Dug. One of my favorite classics."

"What's that game?"

"It's a game where you find creatures and make them pop like balloons."

"Sounds funny," giggled Sunset.

"Let's also win some prizes as well. I'll be glad to get us some tickets for a plushie of Cthulhu."

"What's Cthulhu?"

"He's a fictional creature by the author of HP Lovecraft," I explained, "he makes some creepy stories."

"Do you have any?"

"I do, but are you sure you'd like to read them? They're really creepy."

"If I can handle watching Berserk with you, then I can handle it."

"You are a tough cookie, Sunny."

"Anything else about this Cthulhu?"

"Cthulhu Fatagn," I said in a singing tone, "what a wonderful phrase. Cthulhu Fatagn, say it at your craze~. It means Cthulhu rising out of the haze. It's a prophecy~. We'll also see~ Cthulhu Fatagn."

"Hahaha," laughed Sunset, "did you just make fun of Hakuna Matata?"

"I did. It's a video making fun Hakuna Matata and sings about Cthulhu."

I take out my phone and clicked on the YouTube app. I searched up the video and clicked onto it:

As the song ended, Sunset was in tears of laughter; she did her best to not laugh up a storm in the diner.

"Sweet Celestia," whispered Sunset, as she wipes away the tears, "that was hysterical."

"I knew you would laugh as much as I did when I first saw it," I said with a chuckle.

The two of us sat another five more minutes and then Katherine comes up to us with our salad and fries.

"Enjoy you two," said Katherine, as she places down our food.

"Thank you very much, Katherine," said Sunset and I.

Katherine smiled before walking away to help another customer. The two of us began eating salad, as we chomped away. By the time our salad was gone, we went towards the fries and began eating them by feeding one another.

Sunset dips a fry into the ketchup before pointing the fry at me.

"Say 'ah'," said Sunset before placing the fry into my mouth.

"These fries are still as good as I remember," I said before placing a fry into Sunset's mouth.

"This place must take you back, eh?" asked Sunset.

"It really does," I said, as I look around the place, "it's been so long that I remember my younger years. Back when I was still living with my parents."

Sunset belches and lies back.

"I'm stuffed," said Sunset.

"I as well," I said, before waving my hand to Katherine.

"Something wrong?" asked Katherine.

"Nothing wrong. We would like the check please."

"I'll be right back," said Katherine, as she walks away.

"So what next?" asked Sunset, as she wipes her mouth.

"Where do you think, Sunny? To the arcade of course."
