It was the day after we got back from the hive and Puppet and I were going on a date. I had the entire night planned. I didn’t want to leave Chrysi by herself, so the Mane Six and Discord came over to play games with her. When they came over, I gave them a piece of paper with coordinates, and we left.

“So, where to first?” Puppet asked.

“So here’s the plan.” I started.

“First, we eat dinner at Dairy Queen, then we rollerblade for a bit, then we go to Sweet Frog to eat ice cream and hang out.”

“That sounds good.”

“To Dairy Queen we go!” I yelled while opening to a Gersh Device.

We went to Dairy Queen and I got the usual. While we were waiting, I said, “Oh my gosh. Since we’re by ourselves, you know what that means?”

“We can act like were in the ‘What’s My Age Again?’ music video?”

“No- well, I guess, but I wasn’t thinking that. Since we’re alone, it means we can listen to the original version of the songs.”

Puppet started at me with a blank expression.

“That also means we can finally listen to ‘Longview’ as loud as we want.”

He started getting excited. “We have to put it on.”

“I’ll do it.” I said getting up and sliding over the counter. I put it on, and got my food. Puppet was singing along, and I was singing in between each bite of my food.

After I finished, we went to the rollerblading place.

“Since were rollerblading, we’ve got to put on ‘Rollerblading’.”

I put it on and Puppet said, “Oh, I completely forgot about this song.”

“I almost forgot about it as well.”

As we were putting on our gear, I said to Puppet, “Is it just me, or does it feel like someone’s watching us?”

“No, I feel it as well. Should we check the place?”

“No, I’ve got a plan. Let’s just skate for now.” We did and it was really fun, at some point, I sat down so I could catch my breath. Puppet came over and asked, “Are you alright?”

I tagged him and said, “You’re it.”

I skated onto the skate floor and Puppet caught up to me and tripped me. I fell forwards, and he sarcastically said, “Whoops.”

He then tagged me and said, “You’re it.”

“I don’t think so, mister.”

I got up to see who it was, and said, “Twilight, what are-” but I skated in front of Puppet, and she shot a big orb of energy, which accidentally hit me. I flew up, hit the ceiling, fell, hit the ground and blacked out.

I woke up a little later in a hospital room. Fluttershy was sitting next. She saw me, ran out of the room, and came back with the rest of the Mane Six, Discord, and Chrysi.

“Johnny, are you alright?” Twilight asked.

“Hey, this looks pretty familiar.” I said jokingly, looking around the room.

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m alright. I’m living, so that’s good.”

“Johnny, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean for the magic to hit you.”

“Twilight, it’s alright.”

“No, it’s not alright! Look at you, because of me, you’re in the hospital!”

I knew if I didn’t do anything, she would just keep rambling on. I took a piece of my food, and threw it at her forehead. I could see Discord trying to hold back his laughter.

“We’ll call ourselves even now.” I said, trying to lift the mood. I could hear some chuckles.

“This isn’t the time for jokes, Johnny! I-” I cut her off and yelled, “TWILIGHT!” This got her attention, as well as everyone else’s attention. “Come here!”

She walked next to the bed I was lying in, and I hugged her. “Twilight, it’s alright. I know you didn't mean to hit me with it. But there is one thing I need you to do. I want you to say sorry to Puppet when he gets back.”

“But he tripped you!”

“Just as a joke. Plus, I think being tripped is better than landing a one way ticket to the hospital. Anyways, where is Puppet?”

“Johnny,” Puppet said, walking in the room, “I got your ice cream. Salted Caramel, vanilla, and cake batter, just the way you like it.”

“Thanks. You guys see how sweet he is?” He handed it to me. “Twilight has something she wants to say to you.” Puppet looked at her, and Twilight said, “Puppet, I’m… I’m…” “I can help you if you want. I just got some ice cream, I can fling it your way.”

“If you do that, I’ll kill you.”

“That’ll be pretty hard, since we’re in a hospital.”

She turned back towards Puppet, and said, “Puppet, I’m… sorry that I tried to hurt you with an orb of energy.”

“I accept your apology.” Puppet said.

“Good. Hey Puppet, can you get my crown?”

“Sure.” As he walked out of the room, I said, “Thanks, honey.”

“So, are there any bands or singers in Equestria?”

“Yeah.” Twilight said.

“Do they go on tours and have concerts?”

“Yes.”

“Is there like a place they have to go to try out to get to perform at a concert?”

“Yeah. It’s called the ‘Equestria Concerts Tryouts’.”

“Are there any requirements?”

“Other than having a band, no.”

“Alright. Hey Discord, how about we tryout there over the weekend?”

“Sure.”

“I’m thinking we should pick a really upbeat, like ‘All The Small Things’ or ‘Forever Now’.”

“Yeah, we haven’t done ‘Forever Now’, so we could probably do that.”

Puppet eventually came back with my crown, and threw it to me. I grabbed it and put it on.

“Thanks. Did the doctor talk to you guys and say how long I would be in here?”

“About a week.” Twilight said.

“Dang. Well, this definitely wasn’t the ending I was expecting to our date.” I said.

“I know.” Puppet said.
