Sonata still couldn't believe what she had seen. Rainbow "The Danger" Dash inside a comic book shop flirting with the young store clerk! "This is just too crazy!" Sonata exclaimed once again as to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Told yea!" Pinkie chuckled looking at Sonata with a giant smile.

"And, you're OK with this?" Sonata asked Pinkie looking rather shocked.

"Of course? Why wouldn't I be?" Pinkie asked rather confused by Sonata's question.

"I Dunno, I just sorta thought that you kind of, you know...Liked, liked or loved Rainbow Dash or whatever" Sonata awkwardly admitted.

"Well of course I do silly!" Pinkie Pie chuckled. "I Love love love all my friends!" The peppy pink girl cheered as she embraced Sonata in a rather tight hug.

"N-not what I mean!" Sonata coughed gasping for air. The two's comedic moment interrupted as they heard the store door open as Rainbow Dash walked out.

"OK, see yea next week Quibs!" Dash awkwardly chuckled as she walked out of the store and turned around to see Pinkie Pie & Sonata right in front of her just as their embrace was ending.

"Uhh....what are you two doing?" Rainbow asked, not sure she really wanted the answer.

"Oh, n-nothing" Sonata nervously smiled.

"Hiya Dashie, we were just spying on you is all!" Pinkie Pie honestly replied with a bit too much enthusiasm.

"Y-you were what!?" Rainbow Dash growled.

"Uh, well-y-you see." Sonata began with a gulp. "Pinkie Said you maybe had a boyfriend or something and I didn't believe her so I followed down here and she uh told me to look in the window and..." Sonata stopped looking at Dash who was no red in the face with anger "and i'll be quite now"

"Aww, calm down Dashie, we were just curious is all!" Pinkie exclaimed as she wrapped her arm around Rainbow Dash giving the girl a sly look. "Now why don't we hope along to Sugarcube Corner and talk about your hot hunk o comic love over some ice cream sundaes!" Pinkie Pie smirked.

Rainbow wanted to interject with a snarky retort but just rolled her eyes, she knew there was never any point in arguing or trying to talk sense into Pinkie. "Fine, i'll go get ice cream with you, but i'm not gonna do any stupid mushy relationship talk, OK!" Rainbow huffed.

"OKIE DOKIE LOKIE!" Pinkie Pie smiled as she began to hop off in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow and Sonata just sighing as they followed behind.

Meanwhile At SourSweet's house....

"Ugg! I can't believe that SugerCoat!" SourSweet fumed. "She was going to have me kill a cute innocent little hamster!"

"It was a Guinea Pig Darling" Sunny Flare chuckled.

"That's besides the point!" Sour continued to fume in anger "She doesn't care at all that the rest of us aren't even comfortable with our powers yet and she just wants to do all these weird, stupid tests!!" Sour whinned.

"SourSweet, I understand why you are upset but raving on about it won't help anything" Sunny smirked. "Did you take your medication this morning deary?"

"OF COURSE I DID! CAN'T YOU TELL!!??" SourSweet growled.

"Not Particularly" Sunny Flare replied under her breath before composing herself and looking straight at her agitated ally. "Come here Sour darling, lets get you calmed down, you can't go out and enjoy the rest of your day if you're going to be all huffy" Sunny stated as she motioned for SourSweet to come foward. Sour huffed but complied and laid down on her bed with Sunny Flare. The blue skinned girl just looked down at her furious friend and began to message her temples. "There there sweetie, everything's fine. no one is going to make you use your powers if you don't want to and i'll give them a good talking too if they do" Sunny reassured her lover.

"mmm...hmmm" Sour replied becoming more relaxed. She never understood why but since they were children Sunny Flare had been the only one able to calm SourSweet down. Her touch was so gentle and cool, the head massage was just what she needed, she could feel her sour side subsiding for now as she allowed herself to relax and let her sweet side take over.

"Thanks" SourSweet smiled. "I really needed that"

"Anytime darling" Sunny Flare chuckled. "So what do you feel like doing the rest of the day?" She asked the now docile diva.

W-well i'd kind of like to get in the pool" Soursweet blushed.

"Oh, sounds lovely darling, i've been itching to see what you'll look like in that new Swimsuite Rarity designed for you!" Sunny excitedly cooed with a wink causing SourSweet to blush once more.

Back at The Park.....

"So, let me get this straight." Aria began "You want to try to set me up with somebody?" The Short Siren Sister asked her new friend, still rather confused by the whole situation.

"Phretty Mhuch!" FleetFloot admitted.

"Why?" Aria asked.

"Whell because I know we haven't been friends long, but friends are supposed to help each other and sthuff and ah know that you've kinda been depressed that you and your sisters aren't attached at the hip anymore" Fleetfoot stated rather non-chelauntly.

"W-what, I have not been depressed, i'm not some little kid who needs to be around her big sister all the time or anything! Besides Adagio is only like, three minutes older then me and Sonata!" Aria angrily blushed.

"Fine, suite yourself, forget I said anything" Fleetfoot shrugged.

"W-wait!" Aria nervously replied. "I-if you did like maybe I dunno, help me find someone or whatever, would-would they be cool?" Aria awkwardly asked her newest friend.

"OH YEAH!" FleetFoof Happily exclaimed, "They'd be the coolest!" She reassured her friend with a confident smile.

"OK then, whatever, let's do it. Just-don't make a big deal about it or anything" Aria agreed.

"Hehe, you got it boss!" FleetFoot chuckled giving Aria a salute. The short siren sister just rolling her eyes. What was she about to get herself into?

At SugarCube corner....

"Wait, so he's not your boyfriend?" Sonata asked Rainbow, still confused by the situation.

"That's what i've been trying to tell you two!" Rainbow Angrily huffed. "I mean yea, me and Quibble get along pretty well, and I think he's pretty neat, for a guy." Rainbow smirked. "But we've never asked each other out, so if we aren't dating how can we be a couple!" Rainbow smirked again hoping this would finally put Pinkie & Sonata's inquiry's to rest.

"But, you like him....don't you Dashie?" Pinkie Slyly inquired.

"Well, yea...i mean no, kinda....ugg, Pinkie why are you doing this to me!?" Rainbow angrily blushed.

"Cause i've never seen you have a crush on a real person before" Pinkie chuckled causing Rainbow to blush again remembering the time Pinkie had caught her kissing her Daring Do body pillow. "OK, Fine, I like Quibble! There are you happy!?" Rainbow Pleaded hoping this mushy torture would end.

"Hehe, almost" Pinkie deviously smiled.

"Almost? She admitted to it? What else do you need?" Sonata asked.

"I want you to let me set up you two's first date!" Pinkie Pie squeed as she looked at Rainbow Dash.

"WHAT!?" Dash gagged as she spet out her soda right on Sonata's face.

"I want you to ask quibble out tomorrow and tell him to meet you at Coinky Dink World and when you get there i'll have everything set up and it'll be the best date ever!!" Pinkie Pie Cheered.

Rainbow Dash just looked at her happy friend, paralyzed. This was awful. She was going to have to go on a date with someone before she was ready and Pinkie Pie was going to make it the cheesiest affair ever, as far as Rainbow Dash was concerned her life was over. "Why me" She internally bemoaned. "Why me!"

??????

"That hit the spot" sighed the mysterious cloaked figure in relief as it dropped a rather magical looking stone back down on the ground. "Not what I was looking for but still a powerful magical artifact in it's own right" The shadowy figure chuckled. "Draining it and this little Wallflower of it's magic will keep me saited for awhile." It smirked looking at the unconscious Wallflower Blush below. "And these papers in her back pack. Clover The Clever came to this world once, fascinating! I wonder how much of this world's history has secretly been influenced by it's Equestrian Counterparts?" The being asked itself. "Oh well, for now perhaps best to get back to my search, the three keys won't wait forever!" It stated as it faded back into the darkness, leaving poor Wallflower unconscious in her secret garden.
