The group watched with bated breath as the last piece of clothing fell but just as it past their target a hand cover it up. "AWWWWWWWW!" Whined everyone.

"Sorry, but two things." Jack said raising two fingers with his free hand. "First, I'm a grower not a shower so you won't be seeing the full size unless you get me going and second, I only show that after a date so you best start deciding who gets first try." He stated. "Of course I did agree to pose so here we go. " He added last making the girls and Spike perk up as he started to shift into different stances and poses that hid his lower half from them.

When he was finished and had gotten his boxers back on the group looked around to see who'd ask first. "I will go first then." Celestia stated leaning back with a blush as she covered her face.

"Me next!" Spike shouted but then realized he maybe should calm down and not act so excited.

"I suppose I'll go after." Luna stated turning away from Jack's gaze.

"We'll stop the list there for now the rest of you can work out who goes next but for now Celestia it's still fairly early. Up to that date now?" Jack asked stretching his arms.

"What! Like right now, now?" The normally composed ruler questioned with a scared look on her face.

"Yeah, there's this art show I saw opening today on the walk up here. Looked like a pretty nice place figured you'd enjoy that." Jack replied casually.

Celestia thought for a moment before steeling herself. "Ok, I'll do it but what will you wear?" She questioned as Rarity jumped at the chance to pick something for Celestia by running to her closet and looking inside.

"Don't worry about me just be ready in an hour. Oh and nice playing with the rest of you hope you relax the rest of your night." He said waving as he walked out the door to the hall after getting dressed again.

It took a few seconds before everyone began yelling and screaming about what had just happened. Celestia was still frozen in her spot from the idea of going on a date. "I don't know if I can do this. It's been almost half a millennium since my last one." She whispered to herself, looking over she saw her sister with the same worries as both were very much out of the metaphorical loop.

Rarity finally pulled out a dress that satisfied her idea and walked over to the fretting princess. "Don't worry about a thing darling. This Element will have you ready in no time." Her confidence helped ease some of the panic in Celestia's chest. "Now come on dear and put this on we have to get you ready!" She ordered picking up the ruler and heading for the bathroom followed by Luna and Fluttershy while the others talked over what they had to do next or rather who would go next after the first three's date.

"Who do ya'll think should go after the princesses and Spike?" Asked AJ looking around the group.

"Well what about Flutters. She already got to look at his teeth and seems to be really open with the guy."Rainbow said, scratching her head.

"Then there's you Twi since he lives in your castle." Pinkie added.

"What but that can't be reason to go on a date! I mean by that logic he should go for Applejack since he's worked for you before." Twilight shot back pointing to the farm girl. "But we can worry about that later first lets check up on Celstiaaahh SWEET MOTHER OF FAUST!" She shouted when the door to the bathroom opened and out stepped the ruler in a golden silk dress with a semi-deep V-neck showing ample cleavage to make anyone dream about her with slits on either side of her legs letting them show, finished with some golden heels making her even taller and adding to the dream factor. In other words hot and sexy.

Celestia blushed at the reaction. "It's not to much right?" She asked looking at the group of stunned mares and dragon only to receive shakes of their heads.

Rarity walked out past her dusting off her hands and resting them on her hips. "Can I clean up a mare or what." She stated proudly admiring her work on the princess even Luna had to admit her sister looked beautiful.

Before anyone could talk more a knock came on the door that when opened revealed a servant. "A thousand apologies your highness but the man named Jack is waiting for you near the gardens." He said before freezing on the sight of his ruler. "Merciful heavens, my wife is going to kill me if I stay here." He thought, turning to hide his erection marching out the door.

"Well no point waiting I suppose." Celestia said before walking for the door. "Hope to see you all in the morning." She added with a nervous giggle as the door to the room closed.

Celestia couldn't help it, she was panicking as she got closer to the gardens. But what was making her worry so much? Sure she hadn't been on a date in basically forever to any other person with a shorter life span but that didn't feel like the main reason so what could it be? "His power." A voice whispered over her shoulder making her swing around looking for the source of it. "Who's there?" She question looking around the empty hall. "You are worried about his power and what might happen if you fall for him." The voice said now behind her again. "What are you talking about?" She said worriedly as she continued on to the garden. "Remember your last true love Scorch. Oh how he made you fly with just a look but then the same powers the human holds corrupted him and tore him away from you, from Us." The voice hissed at her. She recognized it now the voice of the power Scorch had given her and Luna. The same powers that made Nightmare Moon. "No, Jack's different. He promised that he wouldn't allow corruption to control him." She shot back trying to push the growing feeling away as she got closer to the garden. "He's lying!" It shouted as she pushed open the doors and stepped outside to the fresh, cool air. "No he's not!" She shouted in her mind as she past a bend in the rose wall to see Jack with his back turned looking to the moon.

On hearing her approach he turned and gave that soft, sweet smile he almost always had on. "Hey, you made it. Ready for that date?" He asked in that deep voice that helped her mind ease as the voice melted away. Celestia could almost see an image of Scorch with the same smile standing next to him, raising his hand out for her to grab as Jack did the same. "Hope you don't mind the outfit." Jack said chuckling as she took his hand and the image of Scorch faded. Jack had on a tuxedo mixed with black metal around his sleeves and legs, with a hood attached to his overcoat hiding his features slightly in the shadows adding an air of mystery to the man.

"You look amazing." Celestia complemented walking with her arm in his, though it was slightly hard to hold being taller then him and wearing heels.

"And you look perfect." He shot back not to be out done making the princess blush. "Question for you?" He asked making her look to him. "What do you see in me?"

"What ever do you mean?" Celestia said confused.

"What about me attracts you." He simply said still looking ahead as they walked. "I mean our first interaction was nice but then there was the whole beast and memory incident then the sharing of one of yours ." He listed waving his hand.

Celestia didn't speak for a while as the pair walked down the well lit streets of Canterlot getting closer to the art exhibit. "You know about Scorch and how he was to me." She finally said earning a single nod from Jack. "He was the perfect stallion for me. Kind, caring, smart, master in the bedroom." She added with a small laugh. "But one of the biggest things was he never saw a princess or a ruler of a nation. What he saw was a mare who wanted someone to love, who loved her for WHO she was not WHAT she was." She explained further. "You... are a lot like him." She finished looking away with a blush but feeling her face be pulled down slightly making her turn to feel a kiss on her cheek making the small blush turn into an inferno of red across her face.

Jack chuckled at her reaction his deep, bass like voice adding to it. "I don't know if I can be an exact match to him but one thing I can tell you is I will try." He said looking at the shy mare.

"Promise?" She asked meekly.

"Promise." He confirmed nodding as they reached the door to the exhibit. "Hello gentlemen, we would like to see the art that's being shown." He said confidently with the smile never leaving his face.

"Sorry this is a private showing and I've never seen you befooooooree Princess Celestia!" one of the men shouted the other frozen stiff. "Uh, go right inside terribly sorry to delay you." He quickly said bowing at the waist.

As the two walked in Celestia leaned down "This is one of the reasons I like you. You don't treat me like some higher being but as a normal mare." She whispered making Jack laugh.

The two continued walking around looking at the art and sculptures till they reached a piece of a Unicorn with flowing blonde hair and standing over a fallen manticore with his sword pointing to the sky. "What do you think of this piece." Celestia asked.

"Superiority complex, with a huge ego if this is supposed to be a commissioned piece. Mind you whoever made it is a fantastic artist but the model could have been toned down." Jack said looking the piece of work over.

"Yes and if I could get my hands on every piece I had made I'd burn them in a pile." Came a voice to their right revealing the same looking unicorn stallion in a blue and black tuxedo. "I'm prince Blueblood, the unfortunate soul to ask for this work to be made. You must be the human I've heard whispers about are you not?" He said reaching for a hand shake.

"Unless another human has shown up yes I am. So tell me why don't you like this piece you had made?" Jack asked looking to the stallion who was followed by two guards.

"Blueblood here used to not be the most...agreeable of people." Celestia said but the prince interrupted her.

"What she means to say was I was spoiled, ill tempered brat who threw his money and title around to get him through life." He corrected with a laugh. "As for your question I've been going out of my way to improve my life and relationships with the people I harmed or insulted. Like I said not a good pony and these art pieces are just reminders of old days I'd prefer to bury in the deepest darkest hole I can find and blow up. Though my therapist says its good to look at them though I don't know why." He said looking to Jack.

Jack paused to look at the picture again before saying "Sometimes to really recognize your changes and fuel them you need to have reminders of what you are trying to change. I should know after all I am still working on a few things myself." He stated coolly staring at the work.

Blueblood looked to the man before turning to the art piece. "You know you're right. I can see what my therapist meant now. He also said I should find someone who can be an example and help challenge my views. You seem like just the pony or rather person I was looking for. If you are ever in Canterlot again call for me I'd love the chance to talk more." He said handing Jack a card before walking into a crowd disappearing in the sea of ponies.

Celestia couldn't help but stare at the human, questions and thoughts running through her mind. Jack turned to see her staring. "What? Do I have something on my face?" He asked looking for a mirror.

"No, Just wondering if you'll ever stop amazing me with what you say." She replied leaning down and kissing his lips lightly. "But we have more to see so follow." She ordered playfully walking away with a sway in her step making Jack struggle not to stare.

The night continued on as the pair saw all the show had to give, drinking from glasses of champagne and other drinks slowly getting a buzz. Till finally Jack took her arm and said "We should get back before we get too deep in our cups."

Celestia looked around for any other people seeing they were alone she turned to stare at the man. Feeling the liquid courage in her system she threw caution into the wind pulling Jack into a heated kiss. At first he was shocked but slowly the two opened up and allowed the other to explore their mouths, his hands slowly trailing down her side to grip her hips making her moan out. "Bedroom?" Celestia asked.

"Bedroom." Came the reply from Jack as they teleported to her now empty room. "Time to see if I match."Jack said picking up the mare easily making her squeak as he laid her down on the bed making Celestia draw the curtains and place a silence spell on the room.
