The next day, Alice and the others are practicing their music in the garage of Max's family store. During the time, Max decides to show Sunset the store since she has never been there before. As they walk through the store, Sunset can see the many different things in Max's family store. In fact, a lot of the things she can see reminds her of the stuff that some stores in her home world has like food, supplies and other stuff.

Sunset says, "This sure is an interesting store."

"Yeah. There a lot of fruits vegetables, cans, bags, and other stuff you can find in any grocery store," Max replies.

"I can see. There's a lot of them," Sunset remarks, on seeing the items in the store.

"Yeah. I know," Max replies while blushing.

"Yeah. Kind of reminds me of the stores I have back in Canterlot," Sunset says while blushing as well.

"What kind of stores do they have?" Max asks.

"Seems similar to this world and the world of CHS. There's toys stores, grocery stores, book stores, restaurants, and other stores I can think of," Sunset answers, trying to remember the places she use to see in Equestria and the other world.

"Sounds like Equestria is very similar to the world you went to and Equestria," Max says.

"Yeah. I guess is does," Sunset replies.

As they both walk to where bread and desserts are being bake, a small boy comes up to them with a smile on his face. The boy is about 10 years old. He has the same skin color and hair color as Max, but he has green eyes. He is wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers with white socks.

The boy makes a smug on his face and happily says, "Hi Max, who is she, your girlfriend?"

Max and Sunset start to blush when the boy says the word 'girlfriend'. Even though they both like each other, they are not in a relationship, yet.

"She's not my girlfriends, Adrean. She's a friends." Max says feeling embarrassed.

"Then why are you two blushing like crazy?" Adrean says with a happy smug on his face.

Max starts to feel embarrassed even more even though he does likes her and she likes him. Max doesn't feel like getting angry and yelling at Adrean.

Max decides to calm himself down and says, "Sunset, this is my brother Adrean. Adrean, this is my friend Sunset."

"Hi Sunset, it's nice to meet you," Adrean says.

"It's nice to meet you too," Sunset replies.

"Well, I better get going I got to help mom. Besides…" Adrean says as he walk away, but he stops for a minute or two.

He then turns to Sunset and Max with a smug on his face and says, "I'm sure my big brother would like to be with his girlfriend a little longer."

Max and Sunset are shocked that Adrean still thinks the two are a couple. Max feels like his nerves are being pull every time his little brother opens his mouth. Adrean then leaves the premises with a grin on his face.

Max turns to Sunset still feeling embarrassed and says, "I'm sorry about this Sunset. My little brother can be a real pain sometimes."

"It's okay Max. I may not spend much time with my siblings, but I can understand that they can be a pain sometime," Sunset replies.

"Thanks Sunset," Max says with a smile on his face.

Just then Alice, Joseph, Clarissa, and Amy come into the store to see how Sunset and Max are doing. From the looks on their faces, they can tell something has happened while they set up their instruments for practice,

Joseph says, "Hey guys, how it going?"

"We're doing fine, just had a little issue with my little brother," Max answers bluntly.

Alice asks, "Your brother was being a pain again, right?"

"Yes," Max says with annoyance.

"Well, we came to let you know that we finished setting up, so we can practice now," Clarissa says.

"That's good," Max says.

He then turns to Sunset and asks, "Do you want to play during practice, Sunset?"

Sunset starts to feel embarrassed and unsure about her being in a band with her friends yet. Her friends on the other hand think it will be a good idea for Sunset to practice with them and thinks it will help her feel more confident about being in front of others.

Sunset nervously asks, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Max answers.

He then turns to his friends and asks, "What do you say, guys?"

Alice and her friends nods their head agreeing to let Sunset Shimmer practice in their band. Max can see that the others want her to in the band as much as he does.

"Then it settles then," Max says with a smile.

Sunset is surprised that they want her to be in the band. The reason why she doesn't want to be in the band is because she is going to be stared at by other and some might still be mad at her for what she did at the school dance. Then again, she's going to be with her friends. After some time thinking, Sunset thinks it will be a good idea to be in the band, but she doesn't have her instrument, she leaves her things including her guitar behind in the other world

"But I don't have an instrument," Sunset says trying to protest.

"You can sing with me," Alice suggests with a smile.

Sunset smiles and says, "Guess I'm going to be in the band."

After Sunset agreeing to be in the band, The group of friends decides to go into the garage to practice before it gets dark. During the practice, Sunset is doing very good as a singer and the other are glad she gets to join them. The one who is really happy is Max. It obvious that Max is starting to develop more feeling towards her and Sunset is developing them as well to Max.

After they finish practice, Alice, Sunset, Joseph, Clarissa, and Amy are going to head back home. Everyone else excluding, Alice, and Sunset have already gone home. Alice and Sunset are getting ready to go back home for the night. Max thinks now it will be a good time for him to ask Sunset his question and hoping she will say yes.

"Sunset," Max calls out.

Sunset turns to Max and says, "Yes Max."

Max starts to blush feeling like he is going to sweat.

Max says, "There something I wanted to ask you."

What is it?" Sunset asks looking confused.

Max starts to get very nervous about asking Sunset his question. He really wants to ask her about it, but having trouble finding the words to tell her. He knows that it's now or never if he wants a chance to take Sunset out on a date with him.

Max finally says in a nervous tone, "Well... I don't we got to know each other for a short time, but... I just want to know... What I was trying to say... Will you... go to the dance with me?"

Sunset blushes with a smile and answers, "Yes."

Hearing Sunset's answer cause Max to feel happy and makes him blush like crazy. He is even surprised that Sunset actually says yes to him.

He happily asks, "Really!"

Sunset nods her head with a calm smile and says, "Yes. I would love to go to the dance with you."

Max smiles and says, "Then... I guess it's a date."

"Yeah. A date," Sunset says with a small smile with blushes on her cheeks.

As Sunset is leaving to go home, she turns to Max and says, "Goodnight Max."

"Goodnight Sunset. See you at school tomorrow," Max replies.

After saying their goodbyes, Sunset leaves with Alice to go back home. Alice is very glad that Max finally has the courage to ask Sunset out to the dance. Max is still in front of the store with a smile on his face. He is very glad he is going to go to the dance with Sunset.

Max happily says in his thoughts, "She actually said yes. I'm glad. I'll make this the best moment for her."

Then he goes inside his store to help his parents close the store for the night. Maxe promises right here and now that will do his best to make Sunset happy and to make this the best date for her. He hopes that things will go good without an incident.
