A Young Bond Builds

Chapter 6: First Date

Frost looked outside his window and looked down at the collard shirt his father made him wear. The white material irritated his skin and caused him to itch a little. The sun glowed a deep orange and there wasn't a cloud in sight.

He turned from his window and passed through his doors. In the hallway his dad called him into his room. Frost entered his parents room and received a few sprays of cologne. Frost inhaled some and it burned at his nose.

"Ahh! Don't you think that's a little too much?" Frost said clenching his nose shut.

"Nah, it will wear down in a minute or two." Heart said patting his son's head.

"Alright. Well, I'm gonna go now." Frost said turning to the door.

"Hang on a minute." His father said putting some bits into a pouch. "Don't let her pay a single bit!" He said handing Frost the pouch.

"Umm, alright?" Frost said putting the pouch in his shirt pocket. Frost grabbed the door nob and his mom came bursting from the living room.

"Hang on! I want to get a picture!" She said holding a camera to her face.

"Ugh... Mom is this necessary?" Frost said through his teeth as he out on a fake smile. The flash of the camera nearly blinded him. Frost brought his hooves to his eyes and rubbed them.

"Of course it is! Now go get her, tiger!" She said, basically pushing him out the door.

Frost began to trot to Ditzy's house. His heart was beating a mile a minute, because of his sudden nervousness. Frost looked at the door for a moment and took a deep breath. He knocked on the door three times and he heard a small squeal from inside. The door opened and his jaw dropped.

"Hey." Ditzy said looking into Frost's eyes.

Frost gazed at the beautiful mare that sat in front of him. Her tail and mane were straightened down to a point. The sun reflecting of her hair made it shine in the light.

"Hello, beautiful..." Frost said softly in a daze.

Ditzy giggled and gave a coy smile. Her blush broke Frost from his daze and he began to gather his words in his head.

"Um, ready to go?" Frost said looking back at her.

She nodded and closed the door behind her. Ditzy trotted with Frost to Sugar Cube Corner. They trotted together in silence, but smiles were kept on their faces. Frost opened the door for Ditzy and she replied with a "thank you."

"Hey, you two! What can I get ya!" Pinkie squealed from behind the counter.

"I'll just have a cupcake and a medium chocolate shake." Frost said to her. He looked over to see Ditzy frantically looking in the glass container for the right treat.

"You can get what ever you like." Frost said, putting a hoof on her shoulder to calm her.

"I just don't have enough bits for most of these things." Ditzy whispered.

"No, I'm paying for the both of us." Frost said holding up his pouch of bits.

"I can't take your money, Frost." Ditzy said looking down at the floor.

"It's okay! Please, I insist." Frost said setting his hoof back on the ground.

"Well, okay... I'll have the Apple Cinnamon muffin and a small chocolate shake." Ditzy said softly to the pink mare.

"Okie Dokie!" She said bouncing to the back of the shop.

"Here you are!" Pinkie said setting the food on a tray and handing it to Frost.

"Ditzy, can you hold this while I get the bits?" Frost said handing the tray to her.

"Okay." She said grabbing the tray with her teeth.

"That will be 35 bit, please!" Pinkie said opening the register.

"Here you go!" Frost said holding up the bits for the food.

"Lets sit down somewhere, shall we?" Frost said turning to the tables in the sweet shop.

Ditzy trotted ahead of Frost to a nearby booth. Ditzy suddenly tripped over her own hoof an the tray of food flew into the air. In one swift movement Frost caught Ditzy from falling and caught her muffin as well. The two shakes hit the floor and spilled onto the ground, and Frost's cupcake landed on its icing. Frost lifted Ditzy back up to her hooves and holding out the muffin. She looked down at the muffin and began to cry.

"I'm sorry." Ditzy cried, hiding behind her mane.

"Hey, its okay." Frost said softly, brushing her mane out of her eyes.

She looked up at him with her eyes crossed. Frost smiled down at her, trying to show her that he isn't upset. He saw tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked back down at the muffin in Frost's hoof.

"C'mon, let's sit down." Frost said sitting down at the booth. Ditzy sniffled as she sat down across from him.

"Uh-oh! Looks like I got to get you new drinks!" Pinkie said dashing into the room. In one quick motion, she cleaned up the mess. Than moments later, she came out with two shakes and brought them to their table.

"These are on the house!" Pinkie said, setting the shakes down and bouncing back to the kitchen.

"She forgot your cupcake..." Ditzy whispered looking at the empty spot in front of him.

"That's alright. I wasn't that hungry anyway." Frost said taking a sip of his milkshake.

"Here." Ditzy said, splitting the muffin into two parts.

"No, Ditzy, thats okay. You ordered that for yourself." Frost said, not letting her hand him the half.

"Please, I will feel bad if I am the only one eating anything." Ditzy said holding the half out again.

"Alright, you win." He said, taking the muffin and setting it on a napkin.

"Hmm... This is pretty good." Frost said taking another bite.

"Isn't it? I always get it when I come here." Ditzy said taking a bite.

They finished their dessert and left the shop. Outside, the sun had just been setting. They decided to fly over to the tree where Ditzy showed him what bubbles can really do. The hill still had that large tree and a nice spot to sit and view the sunset. They sat together and watched it sink below the mountains in the distance.

"I'm sorry, again, for dropping the food earlier." Ditzy said looking at Frost.

"Like I said, it's not a big deal." Frost said grabbing Ditzy's hoof and holding it.

"If it wasn't for my eyes, I wouldn't have screwed up." Ditzy said looking down.

"Ditzy, don't talk like that. It's not your fault, because things just happen sometimes." Frost said moving her head up to look at him.

"No, my eyes are-" Frost's hoof covered her lips to stop her from speaking.

"Beautiful." Frost said to finish her sentence, and removed his hoof from her lips. He looked into her golden eyes and smiled.

"No... You're just saying that to make me feel better. Frost... Are you only dating me... Because you feel sorry for me?" Ditzy said, looking up to him. Frost's heart began to drop as Ditzy came to that conclusion.

"No way! I really like you Ditzy!" Frost said, grabbing her other hoof.

"I don't think I can believe what your saying..." Ditzy said, looking down to the grass. Frost took a deep breath and sighed. He knew only one way to prove how he felt for her.

"Than maybe I shouldn't use words." Frost said softly.

Frost leaned in and closed his eyes. His lips collided with Ditzy's and a sudden burst of heat filled his body. He could feel his heart melting. Ditzy's muscles were tense at first, but began to loosen. She wrapped her hooves around him and began to kiss him back. Frost leaned back to break the kiss, and Ditzy leaned in, following him out to make it last a little while longer. Their eyes opened and Ditzy stared into his eyes.

"Do you believe me now?" Frost asked holding her hooves again.

She slowly nodded her head, still shocked at what happened. A guitar began to play and Frost recognized it as his father's. He sighed and looked back to the sunset.

"That's my dad..." Frost said turning his head to the town, where the noise is coming from.

"It's his way of telling me that I need to come home. I know, it's really weird, but what can I do?" Frost explained. "I'll walk you home."

Ditzy arrived at the door to her house and she stopped and turned to Frost. Suddenly, she leaped at him and hugged him.

"Thank you." She whispered.

"Anytime, Ditzy." Frost whispered back.

She turned away and trotted inside. Frost felt like bolting straight into the air and flying to the stars above. He opened the door to his home and passed the open glass door to the balcony.

"How'd it go?" Heart said from the balcony.

"It was amazing." Frost said remembering back to the kiss.

A week had passed and school had finally come to an end. It was the last day and the teacher had a special assignment planned for them.

"Okay, class! Your assignment is to write about the best thing that happened to you this year at school. Please turn it in to me when your done." Miss Cheerilee instructed.

Frost looked down at his paper and began to write.

"The best thing that happened to me this year..."

He stopped and turned to see Ditzy. She held her tongue out as she began to write on her paper. A smile grew on his face and continued to write.

"...was when I met my special somepony, Ditzy Doo..."

>Author's note about sequel:

And I think I'll end it here! There may be a sequel to show how their relationship is when they're 20 years old. And show how Dinky will come into play. Is that something you readers will be interested in? If not, I'll just continue this story with time skips.
