Digital Equestria

The Sparkle of my Eye

Twilight rushed around her room and the bathroom trying to get ready for tonight. She wanted to look her best for her outing with Matt. She straightened out her hair, made sure her clothing looked nice, which consisted of a purple skirt, with her cutie mark on it, and a light blue shirt. She checked herself over, checked over her list, and smiled as everything was perfect. But she was still nervous and would go over her list a few more time before she heard a knock on her door.

She stopped going over her list and went down to the first floor to answer the door. Oh that must be Matt. She took a calming breath and did one final check before opening the door. She smiled when she was Matt standing there wearing a plain tan t-shirt, jean shorts, and his goggles around his neck. He gave a pleasant smile as he looked at her.

"You like nice, Twilight." Said Matt

A light blush covered her cheeks, "And you look nice as well."

Matt smiled, "Thanks. Now you ready to go. I think we have fifteen minutes before the movie starts."

Twilight used her magic to bring forth a picnic basket, "Let's go."

Twilight turned out the lights and made sure to leave a note for Spike. She closed and locked up the library as the two walked off to their destination.

"So where's Spike?" Asked Matt

"He happens to be over at Rarity's helping her out." Said Twilight

"Man he sure does spend a lot of time with Rarity." Said Matt

"Yeah, I think he has a crush on Rarity. I'm not sure if Rarity knows about it." Said Twilight

"Yeah, I remember when I had a crush on an older girl back when I was his age. But besides Spike, you never told me what we're seeing?" Said Matt

"Oh, I want it to be a surprise. But I know you'll like it." Said Twilight

She gave him a nervous smile. Matt raised his eyebrow to her but shrugged it off. It didn't take more than a few minutes to reach the large field that faced the large projection screen. Ponies were already staking out their place. Twilight pointed it an open area, and the two walked over to it. She set down the basket and pulled the picnic blanket out of the basket and placed it over the ground.

The two sat down as Twilight began to pull out of plates of covered foods. She set them down between them.

"You sure made a lot of food." Said Matt

"Yeah, I didn't know what to bring, so I decided to bring a little of everything I thought you might like." Said Twilight

"Well, everything looks good, Twilight." Said Matt

"Thank you; I had Spike help me cook it all up. I'm not all that good when it comes to cooking." Said Twilight

"Same here, but I'm not all that bad. In truth, the only one who can't cook is Alice. Now if you want to see how inedible you can make food, look no further than Alice." Said Matt

"She's that bad?" Asked Twilight

"Trust me Twilight any day Alice isn't cooking is a good day." Said Matt

"Well, you'll have to tell me how good my cooking is, and no worries, I made sure everything here is something you can eat." Said Twilight

"You're too kind, Twilight." Said Matt

Twilight blushed a little before the two began to dig into the food as they made minor chit chat as they waited for the movie to begin. It wasn't long before the film started to appear on the screen.

"So mind telling me what we're about to see." Said Matt

"Well, a romantic comedy. I'm not sure if you're into movies like that, but I heard it was a great movie and a must see." Said Twilight

"So, what is it about?" Asked Matt

"A unicorn mare who falls in love with a male griffon." Said Twilight

"Sounds interesting. I guess we'll see if it's worth our time." Said Matt

Twilight smiled as she looked up at the screen as the movie began to play. As the night continued, Twilight pulled out a light blanket for her and Matt. She scooted over to Matt and wrapped the blanket around him and scooted closer to him. She blushed a little from how close she was to him. She seemed happy with it but felt her face go even more flushed when Matt pulled her closer. She looked up at him as he looked down at her and smiled before moving his attention back to the movie. She smiled as she snuggled up to him.

"So I have to ask, do you miss home?" Asked Twilight

"I do now and then. There are times where I miss something back on Earth, but I can live without it. So I guess I don't miss as much as I would have thought I would." Said Matt

"Glad to hear." Twilight paused as she decided on her next question, "Matt, can I ask you something personal."

"Sure." Said Matt

"Are you and Alice dating?" Asked Twilight

Matt laughed a little, causing Twilight to raise her eyebrow and cock her head, "You aren't the first to say that. Yeah, Alice and I are close, but we aren't a couple. Alice happens to be a lesbian. Sure she jokes that she would go bi to have sex with me. But she strongly prefers women." Twilight smiled a little hearing that. "So any reason why you asked that question."

Twilight turned up to Matt, "Oh, I was just wondering since you two seem close."

"Well, she is my closet friend, and she's been there to help me raise Abby. But that doesn't answer my question." He looked down to see Twilight turning away with a slight blush on her cheeks. He grabbed her head and brought it towards him, so their eyes met. "Twilight come on you can tell me. What's on your mind?"

She felt his thumb gently run across her cheek. She sighed as she wasn't sure what to do here. She didn't know how to proceed, even though she was happy to hear Matt was single, which was one of her hopes for tonight. She gave another sigh as she gave him her answer.

"I think it's better if I show you." Said Twilight

She got closer to Matt as the world seemed to stop for the two of them. There was no movie going on in front of them, and no one else around them. It was only them. The two looked loveling into each other's eyes. Both sparkled as the movie shined light upon them. Twilight moved her lips ever so slowly towards Matt's. He didn't push her away but instead brought his closer. They could feel their hot breath on each other.

"Matt." Said Twilight

She inched her lips forward and pressed them against his. The sensation of their connected lips sent shivers down each of there spines. Neither felt off from kissing the other; to them, it felt completely right. They each knew in there hearts this was right. They broke the kiss and stared lovingly into each other's eyes.

"So I guess that's your answer, huh." Said Matt

"Yeah, I love you, Matt Summers. I've wanted to tell you for some time, so I decided today would be the day after I got confirmation." Said Twilight

"And I love you, Twilight Sparkle." Said Matt

The two shared another sweet kiss before turning back to the movie, which now seemed to fit them quite well since he was a human who loved a unicorn. Twilight laid her head on Matt's shoulder and interlocked her right hand with his left hand. Matt pulled her close to him. He pressed his lips against her forehead as they sat snuggled together watching the movie.

"So did you enjoy the movie?" Asked Twilight

The movie had finished ten minutes ago, and the two were making there way back to their homes. Matt decided that he would walk Twilight back to her place before heading back to his. Twilight had the blanket covering her as she carried the basket. Matt walked next to her.

"It wasn't half bad, but it was cheesy at a few points." Said Matt

"Please, that's what makes it good." Said Twilight

"If you say so, Twi." Said Matt

She rolled her eyes before giggling. Soon the two of them saw them closing in on her home. The two stopped as Twilight and Matt looked at each other.

"So I guess this is the end." Said Matt

"Seems like it, but I did enjoy spending time with you as well as our kisses." Said Twilight

"Yeah, I quite enjoyed them as well. So how about it, want to go out again maybe sometime next week. We can make that our first official date." Said Matt

"Wasn't tonight our first date," said Twilight a giggle.

"Well, wouldn't call it a date since we weren't in a relationship." Said Matt

Twilight rolled her eyes of how technical Matt was being but giggled anyways. "To answer your question before, yes I would like to go out with you again. I'll see when I'm open, and we can plan something. I'm thinking of dinner together."

"Sounds good to me." Said Matt

The two looked each other before Matt moved up to her and planted another kiss on lips. Twilight moaned happily at the touch of his skin lips to her fur covered ones. Matt felt shivers run down his spine from the sensation of Twilight's fur on his lips. The two broke off their kiss before they went into a hug, and Twilight used her magic to open the door and step inside. She waved goodbye to Matt as he did the same. Once the door was closed, he walked away. Twilight watched from the front window as Matt walked away before he started to do a little dance seemed extremely happy. She couldn't help but laugh and cheer herself.

***

Matt yawned as he stepped into the house. He opened and closed the front door as he stretched out his body, ready to go up and hit the hay after an exciting day. Man, what a day today has been. I got to spend time with Twilight, feel her confess her love for me, and we might be heading out on a new date next week or so. He began to make his way upstairs and went towards his room.

"How was it?" He turned to see Alice leaning against the door frame of her room. She was wearing an overly large shirt. Matt could also see Renamon fast asleep on her side of the bed.

"It was good." Said Matt

"Good, that's all you have to say." Matt nodded his head up and down. "So nothing juicy happened between you and Twilight." Matt nodded his head back and forth. "Please, I know your lying to me. You can't tell me that Twilight wasn't planning anything by taking you out to a romantic movie, and here you say nothing happened. Well, that's a bunch of bull, so tell me, what happened?"

"You sure are persistent." Said Matt

"Of course, I mean you're practically attached to that mare. I swear if you have a minute, your usually spending it with Twilight or with Cresent when you're not with Twilight. Then when you're not spending time with them, you're usually here. From that, I know that you have some feelings towards the personal student of the princess. So fess up, what happened?" Said Alice

"Well, she asked me if you and I were a couple. I laughed as usual and told her that you're a lesbian. I tried to seek why she asked that question, I had a theory why she asked me out to the movie, but I wasn't sure. Well, one thing led to another, and well, we kissed. And to tell the truth, it wasn't half bad. Her lips were soft against mine, and even though fur covered them, it never felt strange or off-putting." Said Matt

"So what's next?" Asked Alice

"I guess to see where it goes from here. We're planning on going out sometime next week for a dinner date." Said Matt

"I'm happy to see she made the first move because I know you wouldn't have if she gave you some excuse why she was asking a question about our status. Now here's a question for you, why Twilight over April. April is human like you, but instead, you went towards the species of Equestria, can I ask why." Said Alice

Matt chewed at the inside of his right cheek, a telltale sign he was thinking. "I guess it's that I don't think it's right to pursue April just because she's human. I don't think there's anything wrong with me going out and dating a mare or any female in this world. From what little I've read on Equestria culture, it's quite common to find a couple of different species together, since Equestria is excepting of all creatures." Said Matt

"I guess that makes sense, but you might never have a human child with Twilight when the time comes to make a family with her, hell who knows even if you can get her pregnant while she's in heat." Said Alice

"True, but I'll worry about that when we cross that bridge. For now, I want to see where this goes before I start thinking about family." Said Matt

"I guess that's true. Well, I'm happy to see you got yourself a girlfriend. Well, see you in the morning." Said Alice

"Night, Alice." Said Matt

He slipped into his room and threw his shirt into his dirty clothes pile. He yawned and stretched as he maneuvered around Guilmon and picked up Gomamon, who groaned in annoyance, before setting him down again and slipping under the covers to sleep. The second his head hit his pillow he began to fall right to sleep.
