A Day At The Amusement Park

The sounds of the birds chirping and the sun shining through your bedroom window woke you up from your slumber and you sat up, letting out a yawn and stretched your arms. Your room was a mess and who could blame you, since last night was one of the best graduation parties your family threw you. You got out of bed and walked towards your closet and grabbed some fresh clothes and a towel.

You walked out of your room and went inside the bathroom across from your room down the hall. You closed the door behind you and stripped yourself of your clothes. You took out your phone from one of your pajama pockets and turned on some music. You turned on the shower and adjusted the temperature before stepping inside and closing the curtains.

As you were washing yourself, your memories of your senior year in high school filled your mind. You recalled the time when you had to take science, your worst subject in school. As much as you hated it, you weren't going to go down without putting up a fight. But that was only when you thought you were doing it on your own when in reality, the teacher chose to let the students find lab partners.

You didn't know anyone in science class all that well, that is, until you got partnered up with this one girl with light purple skin and dark blue hair with a light and pink stripe which she put in a bun. She had purple eyes that seemed to sparkle like the stars in the night sky. Her name was Twilight Sparkle, but not the same Twilight you saw back in your junior year when Sunset use to bully everyone.

Thanks to Twilight's help, she was able to help you get through science class without much of a fuss. You didn't know it at the time, but somehow, a girl as smart and cute as Twilight made you develop a crush on her, but you never confessed to her because she might not be interested. The two of you always remained friends, even after high school graduation. That was your last thought before you finished your shower. You turned off the shower water and stepped outside to dry yourself off.

You paused the music on your phone as you were drying off and just then, your phone began ringing.

"Hmm? Who could that be?" you ask yourself. You swapped the screen and answered the phone. "Hello?"

On the other line, a familiar voice from a familiar girl calls you by your name. "...is that you?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, that's me. What'd you need, Twilight, is something wrong?"

"N-No, nothing's wrong. I was wondering if we could meet up at Sugar Cube Corner later on at 9:15 A.M. You see, there's something very important that I've been meaning to discuss with you, but I never had the time because of high school. So, can we meet?"

"Well, I'm not doing anything right now, so I guess I can stop by. And if you want, I can buy us some breakfast over at Sugar Cube Corner. How does that sound?"

"Great! I'll see you soon!"

"Alright then, I'll see you then, Twilight."

The two of you hang up and you put your phone down on the bathroom sink. You finished drying yourself off and put on your clean clothes. You grabbed your towel and hung it back up on the rack next to the door before you brushed your teeth and put on your deodorant.

You walked out of the bathroom shortly and back into your bedroom to get your wallet and house keys. You walked back down the hall and towards the front door at the far end. You opened the door and stepped outside before locking the door and heading out.

Sometimes your parents offered to drive you somewhere, but because Sugar Cube Corner was a 10 minute walk from your house, you didn't trouble them. You checked your phone and saw that it was 9:03, plenty of time to make it to Sugar Cube Corner without much of a fuss.

But there was something that seemed to bother you. The only time you and Twilight ever contacted each other was when you needed to get your science projects done with her. If she ever needed some friendly advise, she'd usually call her up one of her friends. Then you thought it might have something to do with relationship problems, but somehow, you didn't think Twilight was that kind of girl. You only thought that because of that one guy with the blue spikey hair who always seemed to act all awkward with her. It was obvious from Twilight's expression that she wasn't really interested in him.

You scratched the back of your head, thinking about what she needed to talk to you about that was so important to meet up with her. Nothing came to mind and you just shrugged it off and kept walking until you reached Sugar Cube Corner where Twilight was waiting for you. She still wore the same outfit just as she did back in her old school Crystal Prep and in Canterlot High.

"Hiya, Twilight." you say.

"Hi there. I'm glad you made it. Come on inside." Twilight says. You nod and follow her inside the shop.

"Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner. Oh, nice to see you again Twilight. Who's your friend?" Mrs. Cake asks. Seeing as how you rarely stopped by, you gave Mrs. Cake your name. "Oh, nice to meet you. Say, are you and Twilight out on a date right now?" she asks, getting all excited.

"W-What?! N-N-No, he's just a friend!" Twilight stutters, blushing. You started blushing, too.

"Y-Yeah, we're just friends, that's all." you say, a little hesitant.

"Aww, that's a shame. I would think you two are a couple since Twilight tells me how much she liked studying with you before your graduation." Mrs. Cake explains. You quirked an eyebrow and turned to Twilight, who couldn't stop blushing.

"You told her about me?" you ask.

"Right, so, umm... shall we grab some breakfast?" Twilight asks, avoiding the question.

"Uh... okay then. I'll have one muffin and a caramel frappuccino." You say to Mrs. Cake.

"And I'll have a latte with a chocolate chip muffin please." Twilight says.

"Very well then, your total comes up to $6.45." Mrs. Cake says. You reached for your pocket and grabbed your wallet, giving Mrs. Cake the cash. She takes it and puts the money in the cash register and giving you your change, "Thank you and your orders will be brought to you momentarily."

"Cool, thanks." you reply. You walked away from the calander and Twilight follows you over to one of the tables and took your seats. For a few minutes, you and Twilight just said nothing. There was only awkward silence between the two of you until you broke the silence. "S-So, umm, what did you want to talk about?"

"Umm, well you see... umm, do you remember the day when I transferred to Canterlot High after the Friendship Games ended and Principal Cinch got fired?"

"Yeah, of course. How could I not remember that day?"

"Well, back in my senior year of high school there, when I first became your partner in science class, I've sort of grew a little fond about you. But only as a friend at first."

"That's understandable. Though, I wasn't like the other guys back in high school. I guess you could say I was a little bit too shy to talk to anyone I could relate to."

"I know that feeling. Being an outcast isn't all that fun. Especially if you studied at Crystal Prep. Nobody seemed to like having me around and I felt so left out. But the day when I transferred to Canterlot High made me so happy that I even made some new friends, including you."

"Aww, come on, Twilight, you're gonna make me blush." you turned away, smiling and blushing.

Twilight giggles and says, "Too late for that." You laughed when she said that. Mrs. Cake finally came by and brought over your meals.

"Enjoy, you two." Mrs. Cake says.

"Thanks." You and Twilight reply. Your stomachs began to growl and that was your cues to bite into your muffins, savoring the sweet taste.

"De-lish." you say, after gulping down your bite.

"You said it." Twilight replies. You two then took a few sips from your drinks before Twilight continues speaking, "Anyways, I've kinda been meaning to ask you this. Umm... is there... anyone special in your life that you developed these special feelings for them?" She blushes when she asks that.

"Umm... well... if I tell you, you won't get mad, right?" you ask, blushing. Twilight shakes her head left and right and you let out a sigh. "Okay, here it is." You pause for a second and look directly into Twilight's lavender eyes and say, "Twilight, I've had this crush on you for quite some time."

Twilight gasps in surprise with her face blushing even more. "R-Really?" she asks.

"Y-Yeah. You're one of the most smartest girls I've ever met, not to mention, the cutest. Sometimes, when I look at you, I can't stop thinking about how great our lives would be as a couple. But I never really pursued it because I didn't think I was your type."

"Aww, that's so sweet of you. Well, if I'm going to be honest with myself, I've had a bit of a crush on you, too, ever since we were partners in science class. I didn't pursue my feelings either because I thought you were already with someone more... prettier than me..." Twilight looked down towards her knees, feeling a little bummed out since she wasn't like all the other girls back in Canterlot High.

"What? That's ridiculous! Twilight, though there are a lot of girls out there who look and act different, I've always had my eyes on you. The only thing I wanted in a girlfriend is one who's smart, cute and very pretty, which is exactly what you are."

"Aww, that's so sweet of you. Then, I guess I have one last question to ask you." Twilight pauses and leans in close to you before asking, "Will you be my boyfriend?"

You smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips. She gasped and held the kiss with you until you broke it 10 seconds later and replied, "I'd be honored to have you as my girlfriend."

With nothing more to say, the two of you enjoyed your breakfast at Sugar Cube Corner, making plans on what you two wanted to do next.


Later on at around noon, you and Twilight made plans to visit this new amusement park called Canterlotland which had opened up about a week ago. You both explained to your parents that you both of you were going to be out and having fun with each other. Your parents told you to be safe when coming back while Twilight's parents said to make sure not to come back before it gets too dark.

With everything sorted out, you and Twilight walked around the city, trying to find the theme park. Twilight gets a little curious and asks you.

"Say, how come you don't have a car?"

"Well, I'd get a car, but I don't have a license yet. All I have in this big fat wallet of mine is my ID and my graduation money, but I'm planning on applying for a driver's license soon and maybe save up for a brand new car, but that's going to take a little longer. But for now, I could use the exercise."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. It's always nice to breathe in the fresh air."

"No doubt about it."

Twilight giggles and leans into you. You placed your arm around her and gave her arm a gentle rub. She purred and giggled at how you made her feel safe and secure. You shook your head with a smile and continued to walk for another 7 minutes before reaching the theme park.

You and Twilight gasped at how big it was. The whole place had a few rollercoasters, snack stands, a waterslide and many other things. Twilight couldn't stop smiling. You guided her with you to the ticket booth and paid for the 1-day special before walking inside the park.

"This is amazing! I don't know where to start!" Twilight says in excitement.

"Hmm, I think I do." you say, looking at the biggest roller coaster. Twilight looked in surprise, but shrugged it off and latched onto your arm.

"Well, if you want to ride it, then I'm up for it."

You smiled at Twilight and took her by the hand and ran over to the line leading to the biggest roller coaster in the park, known as the Turbo Thrust. The line was fairly short and gave you and Twilight plenty of time to scan the park as you were waiting your turns. It felt nice to hear the sounds of people shouting with joy and kids laughing and having a good time.

But what made it all even more special was having your new girlfriend with you to enjoy it all. Finally, it was time for you and Twilight to get on the roller coaster and sat in the front row. The two of you put on the safety bar to keep you two from falling out of the coaster. You both waited for other people to climb in and also put on their safety bars and finally felt the ride take off.

"Ooh, this is gonna be great!" you say, excited. In the first few seconds, the coaster went on a little slow until it reached the ramp and Twilight was getting a bit scared and she clenched your hand tightly and she closed her eyes tightly, whimpering almost inaudible. Finally the roller coaster came down, moving at a faster pace and everyone began shouting with joy.

Out of all the people, you could swear that Twilight screamed the loudest. You could feel the roller coaster moving left and right and make that one loop-de-loop. No matter how hard she tried, Twilight wanted to cling to you, but the safety bar prevented her from doing so. You reached as far as you could and rubbed her arm, letting her know you're right there beside her. She opens up her eyes and smiles at you.

Moments later, the roller coaster came to a stop and you and Twilight climbed out.

"You okay, Twilight?" you ask her, giving her a side hug.

"I...I'm alright. I just feel like I need to stay away from the big roller coasters." she replies. "So, can we try some of the other rides here?"

"Sure, and this time, you can pick."

"Aww, thank you."

You and Twilight walked away from the roller coaster and strolled around the amusement park trying to find some other rides to go one. The day went smoothly after about 15 rides. But it wasn't until later on that you had won a prize for Twilight after dunking someone in a tank filled with cold water. It was a good thing you took baseball in high school and those pitches paid off.

At 3:00 P.M, you walked Twilight back to her house.

"Thanks for taking me out. I had a great time." Twilight says.

"It was no problem. I'm glad you had fun." you reply. "Well, I'd better get home." But just as you turned around to walk back to your house

"Wait, hang on a second!" she shouted.

"Hmm? What is it?"

You waited for her to answer, but all she did was walk up to you and looked at you with those lavender eyes of hers and then she leaned up and kissed you on the lips. You kissed her back.

"Thanks for the date." she says.

"Anytime, Twilight. Anytime." you reply, hugging her. She hugs you back for a moment until you two let go and she walks inside her house and waves at you. You wave back at her before you began your walk back home and Twilight closes the front door. "Who knew I'd end up with a girl as "a-dork-able" as Twilight and actually take her out on a date? I guess my luck is starting to get better." you say to yourself.
