The Double Date
Ketchup Chips
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"So are y'all excited er whut?" Applejack exclaimed with glee.
Rarity clapped her hands together. Sitting beside Applejack in the back seats of a sedan. More or less in a state of pure bliss. Anticipating for their arrival. "Oh yes, I do think this weekend is going to be quite spectacular.
Sunset sat in the passenger seat next to the driver. With a laptop in her lap. A usb cord was plugged in, the wire coming from the glovebox. She couldn't help but be a little ecstatic herself.
Of course Rarity and Applejack were her friends and they hung out practically everyday. But of course she'd never actually tagged along with them on a date.
This was also pretty interesting for Applejack and Rarity. Okay, so maybe mostly Rarity, but Applejack wouldn't lie. This double date was pretty neat as well.
Sunset and Flash's relationship this time around was actually going pretty smoothly. Compared to Sophomore year. During Queen Shimmer Era at Canterlot High.
But nonetheless, Rarity was pretty gung ho about inviting Sunset and Flash. Literally just to see the two interact as a couple. Just to gush about it at some point or something.
Even if they do something as breathe the same air. Rarity will be fangiriling goddammit! She will go as a far as finding a jar and trap that air!
Sh-Sh-She'll kill a man if she has to!
...
Applejack was pretty much fine about it. I mean besides having some good company. She pretty much had an excuse to tease Sunset. She wasn't as off the wall as her otherwise, "civil and proper" girlfriend.
Anyways though, Sunset wasn't just excited because of the fact she was gonna embark on her first double date. She was also excited because she had acquired a new Camera. A ZV1 4k Camera complete with a more than decent lens and onboard mic.
And it was common knowledge that Sunset was content creator on YouTube. And well, she was doing pretty well on the platform to say the least.
With nearly 20k to ShimmerCode. Her content was pretty decent, nothing too cringy, nothing too demonitization worthy. Just at the point where she could appeal to a lot of people and what not.
She turned on her camera. To begin the process of recording bits and pieces of her drive to the destination.
"Alrighty. So we've been on the road for about a good hour now. Uh, heh. We still have like seven or eight more hours." She couldn't help but chuckle to that. Before pointing the lens at everyone who was present. "But uh, Rares and AJ are sitting in the back. And uh, Boo here is on the wheel. How are you feeling by the way."
A blank expression was across the face of the Vincent Tong voice teen. As he drove through the packed highway. Though his expression didn't exactly reflect on: how he was feeling.
"I want to die."
Sunset couldn't help but chuckle to that. Her grin growing ever so wider. "Wh-Why?"
"Literally I hate highways." Flash said monotonely. "Like we just got out of school. It looks like the line to the Apple store. And Rarity's been non stop about tea channels, so--"
The latter broke out into complete laughter from that. Flash's struggled to keep his blank expression because of it. Grinning in the midst of the laughter. Promptly letting out a chuckle.
The laughter went on for just a little longer. But before long, Sunset managed to regain her composure for the most part. Pointing the camera at Flash again.
"Oh, my poor baby!" She once again pointed the camera at herself. With an even wider grin from before. "I mean you guys always ask for Flash to be in more videos. So I hope you're all happy about this."
Flash couldn't help but roll his eyes. Keeping his eyes on the windshield. "They do not."
"They do!" Sunset exclaimed. Slowly panning the camera at Flash. "Legit, no cap. After I uploaded the friggin boyfriend tag. People in the comments just begged for me to have you in more videos. Like I try to tell them, "Oh you know he's kinda a little more camera shy then I have to say that--"
"You are not Camera shy at all."
"I--" Sunset became incoherent after Flash's interjection. Bursting out into another fit of laughter because of it.
"Literally, I remember we went to Target when she said she wanted to start this whole YouTube thing." Flash chuckled. "And she was giddy about it too. Like she was jumping up and down while were in the line at the cash register. Just because we were buying her a camera. Like she was enthusiastic from the get go."
It wasn't long before Rarity and Applejack promptly giggled. Meanwhile, Sunset was wheezing in her seat from the reminiscing. Because more or less, she felt like a kid in a candy store when Flash has bought her her first camera. So his words held some ground.
Once again, she mustered up enough strength to regain her composure. And digress. "S-So, anyways. People want you to appear in more videos with me. Like you should read some of the comments."
Flash chuckled as the car began to slowly get a move on. "Oh man. Just, What-What do they say?"
"They say things like:
- "Oh is Flash ever gonna appear in another video"
- "You and Flash look cute together"
- "You should make more vids with ur boyfriend"
like I could literally count a bunch of comments, and I wouldn't even graze the surface of it at all. But it something along those lines..."
Flash's smirk widened. Letting out a long sigh. He bowed his head before responding to the claim.
"Rarity why are you doing this to Sunset--"
Like before, the latter broke out into laughter. By this point Sunset's sides were hurting because of it. Meanwhile Rarity had a tear in her eye as she pretty much comprehended the logic of Flash's statement.
"Well now..." said Rarity. "At the most it was only five or six comments. Nothing more."
Flash shook his head and snickered. Shrugging to that as he more or less got back to the task at hand. Driving through the very, very slow moving highway.
But that's when Applejack spoke up. After making a pretty damming discovery. She felt that it should be brought up. She looked right at Sunset and her Camera.
"Y'Know Sunset. Since the Camera is on, Ah think it's time we pull an intervention." She turned to look right at the seat in front of her. The drivers seat. "Specifically fer Flash here."
Sunset placed her mouth over her hand. Widening her eyes and once again pointing the camera at Flash.
Flash meanwhile, quirked his eyebrow. Pretty much confused by what Applejack was getting at. "Uh....What'd I do?"
Applejack inhaled very calmly. What she was about to say, would be pretty damming exposure for the teen. "Flash...
...
Do you have an addiction to Ketchup Chips?"
And that was what finally set Flash off. He snorted before breaking out into his own fit of laughter. In-turn, prompting the latter to giggle. Sunset especially.
"Umm..." However he couldn't say a word. He was way too incoherent at the moment. The accusation as a whole had just come out of nowhere. But as soon as he heard the name of his favorite snack. He just lost it, because needless to say. He knew he had a literal problem. "Okay so uh, you know how I'm from Canada, right?"
Sunset looked over her seat, pointing the camera back at Applejack. Justifying his point to Applejack. "No cap, he literally tells me his life story every time I bring it up." She and Flash promptly giggled. But she went on, "Like...He said that when he moved to Canterlot a few years ago. He was outraged that they had no Ketchup Chips in America. So instead like every year, he orders boxes full of chips from Canada, just to have the ketchup chips."
Flash's laugh practically sounded like a bottle of Windex. Overwhelmed by this point. Blushing out of slight embarrassment. However he didn't avert his eyes. For obvious reasons.
Meanwhile, they all laughed at his expense. More or less just proving accusation made by Applejack. So much so that Sunset had to put the camera down just because of how overwhelmed she was with laughter.
Applejack conveniently held a bag of Ketchup Chips. The instigator that prompted the whole conversation in the first place.
She gave it a little shake. Quirking her eyebrow at the back side of her driver seat. "Sooo, could I have this, or?"
"No!" Flash laughed. "That's not a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
Sunset slowly picked the camera back up. Still somewhat giggling. "I like how this whole time, we haven't told them where were actually going. Like, the whole time it's just been about, Flash's chip addiction."
"Okay." Flash cackled.
Sunset regained her composure. Pointing the camera back at herself. "So we are actually heading to an Inn today, because tomorrow night we are actually gonna go to a....haunted farm?" She looked back at Applejack. Knowing she had a lot more info on the place they were actually going to.
"Eyup." Applejack nodded. "The McKinney farm is holdin' it's annual horror farm." Her lips curved to form a cocky smirk. "And well, since Ah had the four tickets, ah thought of draggin' you two with us."
"Of all the people. You chose us?" Sunset asked
"Eyup."
Sunset couldn't help but chuckle. "Man you must've been really desperate if you came to us."
"Ah--" Applejack cackled. Slapping his hand on her forehead. Becoming incoherent for a quick moment. But before long she regained her composure. "No, yer all both nice people. And uh, well Rarity insisted on it."
Flash smirked. "Of course she did." Flash briefly glanced back at Rarity. "Rarity how hellbent are you on fangirling over us?"
Rarity giggled. Shrugging, feeling rather proud of her stance. "Well Darling, I'll have that I am in the beta stages of establishing a fanclub." She nodded, smacking her lips thereafter. "So you'll have something anticipate for."
Sunset pointed the camera at Flash. "Yeah, Boo isn't very excited about going though."
"That is affirmative." Flash nodded.
Sunset pointed the camera back to herself showing her chuckling expression. "Yeah so apparently, the farm emphasizes a lot on clowns and uh..." she giggled. "Flash actually is afraid of clowns."
"Babe!" Flash cackled. Prompting the couple in the back to giggle. In-turn causing Sunset to giggle and point the camera at him again. "Why would you tell them that?"
"Well I had to give them context."
"No--oh god." Flash prompted to whine a little. "You know everyone is gonna make fun of me in the comments, right?"
Sunset continued to giggle. Shaking her head. "Boo, it'll be fine" She patted his knee. "I bet a lot of people fear clowns."
Rarity manage to hold back her snickers. Leaning forward to glance at Flash. "Darling? Since when have you had a fear for clowns?"
"Um..." Flash smirk widened as he began to chuckle uncontrollably, not being able to muster any coherence for a moment. "It all started in Canada!"
