After finishing up my date with Fluttershy, I decided to give Rarity a call.

"Hey Rares?"

"Cobalt, hi, how are things?"

"Just fine, I'm just calling to tell that I'm ready for our date."

"You are?!"

"Yeah, I just finished up with Fluttershy. Where would you like to meet up?"

"We can meet up downtown."

"Sweet, I'll head there now. See ya then Rares."

"Alright, I'll get ready now!" Rarity hung up the phone quickly as she fell back onto her bed and started to squeal loudly, "Oh my, I can't wait for this. Oh, I should get ready. Wouldn't want keep my darling Cobalt waiting!"

Rarity walked over to her large closet that held many extravagant clothes, "Should I dress extravagantly? Or should I keep it casual, yet beautiful? Perhaps a nice dress would be great for an outing like this. Oh no, knowing Cobalt, we'll probably take a stroll around town, and do normal stuff. He wouldn't do anything extravagant as reserving seats at a high class restaurant, or will he?"

Rarity continued moving through her closet, tossing out any possible outfit out onto her floor, "I need to look great for Cobalt, but casual so I won't stand out too much. I don't know how Cobalt is going to look either. What if he looks fancy, and we do end up going to a fancy place? Oh, what am I to do!"

Rarity brought it down to stay with the attire that she wears when she usually goes to school, "Maybe keeping it simple like this would be perfect. I don't think Cobalt would mind me dressing out, or dressing under."

She then sighed as she looked at the time, "Oh no, it's already been 30 minutes?! Cobalt must've been looking like a loser just standing around doing nothing! I should call him!" Almost as if on cue, she received a phone call from Cobalt, "Cobalt, hi!"

"Rarity, is something wrong? Is something holding you up?"

"Oh just getting ready. I gotta look my best for you Cobalt darling."

"Ah, that makes sense. No need to rush. I actually just met Sunset here, so we're gonna go ahead and start our date," Rarity dropped her phone as she heard that, "Rarity? What happened?"

She then yelled, "Not on my watch!" Rarity rushed around her house getting ready as fast as she could.

Meanwhile, Cobalt hung his phone up as he walked back towards Sunset who was waiting for him to finish his call, "Well, I think she's on her way..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, I think she dropped her phone, and then she yelled 'Not on my watch!' afterwards. So she'll be here right about..."

"I'm here!" Rarity appeared beside them as a trail of flames followed her.

"Now."

Rarity stared at Cobalt as he wore a black leather jacket, black jeans with a wolf print on it, and a white shirt underneath, "You look amazing Cobalt..."

"Thanks Rares."

Rarity then glanced at Sunset, and smirked, "Now, if you would wait just a little bit Sunset, Cobalt and I will be starting our date first," Rarity moved entwined her arms within one of Cobalt's arms

"But I..."

"Now Rarity, it's good to share your possessions with your friends right?"

"But Cobalt..."

"No buts, not yet at least," Cobalt winked as he held his other arm out for Sunset to take it. She smiled, and did so, "So, I saw this neat diner that we can just sit, and talk at for a bit," As they made there way through downtown, they were getting stares from everyone they passed by, "Perhaps the three of us doing this wasn't exactly the best idea."

"Nonsense, I'm sure we're both happy to be doing to this with you Cobalt darling," Rarity hugged Cobalt's arm harder.

"Yeah, I'm glad that I had actually confessed my feelings now. It took a large load off my chest..."

"I hear that. I'm glad I'm actually going out with all of you. Sort of makes me happy, even if I'm going to be in the mystic realm in 3 months."

"So, do you know what class of students you'll be teaching there?"

"I was told that I'll be teaching beginner-intermediate. Once I get used to teaching beginners and intermediate mystics, I'll be moved to Proficient-Advance."

"And if we were to attempt to attend?"

"You wouldn't able to. If the school finds out that your bloodline doesn't have any trace of mystics, then you won't be won't even be considered as a student."

"Wow, even if they are mystic."

"Yes, the student must have at least 3 ancestors in their bloodline that's a mystic, or they won't be accepted."

"That's kind of harsh..."

"The school only wants the best, or what they think is the best. Anyway, don't worry about what's going to happen to me there. I'll be fine. I'll try to find some way to contact all of you."

"Aw, that's so sweet of you Cobalt darling,"

"I know right. I'm such a great guy!"

Sunset chuckled as she tugged on Cobalt's arm, "Don't be too boastful. That won't be good for you as a teacher."

"But I can back it up though."

"Yeah you could. But not good enough."

"Yeah, I can believe that."

The three chuckled as they made their way to the diner Cobalt had talked about. Coincidentally, Pinkie Pie worked at said diner, "Oh my gosh, hey guys!" Pinkie waved them over to her and prompted them to sit down, "I didn't know you three were coming here!"

"Yeah, it's their turn to go on a date with me."

"Oh really? That's sweet. Hey, you know Fluttershy called me earlier. She said something about all of us visiting your village after your community service is completed. Are we really going to visit your village?"

"Yeah, I thought it would a nice memorable thing to do before I start my teaching career in the mystic realm."

"That's a wonderful idea Cobalt. How do you expect us to get there? Isn't your village in the mountains?"

"Don't worry about the trip. I have a power that allows me to open a portal to somewhere that I've been to before. That power I used before my battle with my father, Gate."

"Wait, how did you even know where your father would be?"

"I've been to that forest before. Mostly because that forest is at the base of where my village is at. He had planned to destroy my village first before attacking here at Canterlot."

"Ah, that makes sense. However, should we know anything about your village ahead of time?"

"Well, you'll be surrounded by a lot of bugs, animals, and dirt. We may have technology, and other stuff that's here, but we refuse to use them."

"Is that a reason you left the village."

"Well, not really, but I am glad I get to use technology now. I mean, the only thing we used was a phone, and even then, it was hard to get calls. The connection was extremely hard to work around."

"So, we may be without our phones?"

"More than likely, yes."

"Oh my..."

"But look on the bright, we'll have each other, and nothing is going to change that..."

-2 weeks later-

"This is going to change that...," Cobalt stood around at the entrance of his village, which was now no more. It looked as if his whole village had burnt to the ground, "What happened here!"

Author's Note

Hehe, another cliffhanger. Sorry, I don't have a rope either. So you'll just keep falling until the next chapter. Anyway, this story is coming to a close after this romance/friendship arc. I say about 1-2 chapters left before I finish it off. Don't worry, I've already started on the sequel, so you will get more of Cobalt and the gals. This time, with clop scenes. I didn't do them here because of what's happening. However, you'll know why they can do some of the nasty in the sequel. Alright, I'm so glad this story is doing relatively well for itself, and I'll be sure to do more stories on my profile that everyone can read. See all of ya next time!
