The Double Date

Upbringing

Previous Chapter

It was pretty much pitch black outside. The crickets were chirping, the moon was glowing so majestically in the night sky. And the stars had finally come around.

In other words, it was half past Twelve when the group had finally arrived.

"See, you managed to come in the clutch." Sunset patted her boyfriend on the shoulder.

Flash was barely clinging onto consciousness at this point, struggiling to keep his eyes open. "I am never complaining about long road trips ever again...."

Sunset giggled. Just as Flash pulled the gearstick back and pushed the engine start button. "Hang in there tiger. We just gotta do a few more things."

Not being obvious enough through dialogue, the group had managed to make it to their destination. A nice looking Inn that was only half an hour away from the town.

Flash looked back at Rarity and Applejack, who by this point were both knocked out. Leaning against one and other. Since Applejack was the taller of the two, the side of her head leaned right on top of Rarity's.

Flash smirk to that. However, there was no time to admire that cute looking scene. Raising his arm up, he promptly snapped his fingers. Managing to wake up the two. "So we made it. And uh, the great news is I didn't crash the car."

Applejack smirked as she and Rarity both sat up. Promptly, she stretched her arms out, hearing them crack. "That is some pretty good news."

"Anyways, the trunk should be unlocked. So you guys can start to grab your things." He then glanced at Sunset, giving her one of his usual dorky smirks. "I'm gonna take it you're gonna be filming us doing all the hard labour, right?"

Sunset nodded, taking out her camera with an innocent looking smile across her face. "But of course. What kind of vlogger would I be if I didn't?"

Flash rolled his eyes, letting a silent chuckle escape his mouth. "I should've known." He leaned in closer, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. Prompting her smile widen even more.

All four eventually exited the vehicle. Using the key remote, Flash locked his car. Heading straight for the trunk just as the latter had done.

Sunset of course turned on her Camera, a little impressed by the battery life. "Oh my god, it's still at half battery life! Okay this Camera is literally the greatest piece of tech ever."

Flash couldn't help but chuckle again. Even though Twilight was more or less the nerd in Sunset's friend group. Every now and then he'd find Sunset gawking over something tech related. Whether it was Graphic Cards, Lenses or even Laptop accessories. More or less anything that had something to do with Gaming or Filmmaking. He'd always find Sunset just marveling at them any chance she had. And he wasn't going to lie, he found it really adorable.

Sunset pressed on the record button, continuing what she had started.

"Alright so we made it to the Inn. Um, I probably sound dead or something, because I am just like.... really tired. There is really no other way to put it." She couldn't help but chuckle. "I mean despite that. I think I'm gonna end up getting more sleep than I do on most Fridays."

Flash again chuckled. Deciding to chime in. "No cap?"

Sunset giggled. Nodding her head to that. "No cap." She approached the latter. Deciding to take actually take a bag, slinging it onto her shoulder "Usually I'm up editing on Fridays. Other then that I'm usually studying or something." She then promptly got closer to Flash. Slowly clinging onto his arm. "But, sometimes I actually end up getting some sleep whenever Boo spends time with me."

Flash smiled. Promptly placing a kiss on her forehead. Thereafter, he glanced over at Rarity. "Alright, did Rarity get all that-" Flash couldn't deliver with that with a straight face. So like the rest of the group, he broke out into a fit of laughter once again. Rarity especially who managed to let out a few snorts between her hard giggles.

Rarity was slowly regaining her coherence. Though still struggling to contain her giggles. She glanced at Flash, giving him the "okay" hand gesture.


The group had spent an extra of ten minutes outside the building, collecting all their belongings and what not. But despite all of that, they had finally managed.

Rarity had managed to get them a room on the top floor. More or less on luck as it was just one of the last open rooms that could be booked.

Applejack unlocked the door to the room, letting the group in. Sunset meanwhile, was a little giddy. Camera in hand, she was ready to just record every inch and square meter of the room.

The room was what you expect. Two queen queen sized beds just 3 feet away from each other. A Television, a kitchen, basically what you would expect.

They all made their way into the room. Closing the door behind them. Applejack prompted to whistle in amazement. Being genuinely impressed.

"This is some room you managed to lock up fer us, Rare."

Rarity smirked, promptly shrugging. "Well I for one am just glad this room was available. Honestly, I'm pretty sure anyone else here is planning to go the farm as well."

Sunset pressed on the recording button on her camera. Panning it around the room. "So this is where were gonna be staying for like two nights." She chuckled quietly. "Lowkey, why does this place look better than my Apartment?" Hearing that, the group prompted to giggle at Sunset's expense. "Yo, but it's true though! Like...look at that kitchen. I don't even have a kitchen that nice." She started for the window. Just on the other end of the hotel room. Moving the curtains away to get a good look at their view. "Okay the view isn't even all that though. So it's kinda 1-1."

"Well ya have to keep'n mind that were staying in the outskirts."

Hearing Applejack say that prompted a cackle out of Sunset. As she panned the camera towards her friend's direction. "Well I mean--"

Applejack let out a chuckle of her own. "Sunset whut did you honestly expect when we got here?"

Sunset giggled , shrugging. "Uh-I-I expected the greatest view of all time! Like..." She panned the camera back at the view. Which was just a highway. She promptly let out a sharp exhale of disgust. "Like this is just--eugh! I'm not impressed." She then panned her camera towards the two beds. Sounding a little more sympathetic towards them. "But these! These actually look really comfy!"

Thereafter, Sunset heard Rarity's voice from the distance. "Well the washroom doesn't look half bad." The latter walked over to the washroom, to see what Rarity was on about.

And upon walking in. Applejack and Sunset's eyes widened. Both of them more or less having the same thought.

(It's nicer then mines!) (Damn ah ain't got nuthin' on this!)

Flash though. He seemingly agreed with Rarity on this one. "Okay half bad is kind of an understatement here. But I mean yeah, it looks pretty good." He walked over to the shower. "I just hope the hotel soap doesn't smell like perfume or something."

Rarity couldn't help snicker. "You're going to use that poor excuse for soap. Hah!"

Flash rolled his eyes, glancing at Rarity. "I'm gonna take it you packed all you're expensive and specific soaps and oils?"

"Well, as much as I'd love to lay in a tub for hours. I think I'm gong to opt to stay away from it." She glanced at it, giving it an expression of disgust. "I've never trusted hotel bathtubs in my life. So I'll painstakingly take showers. But to answer your question: yes."

"Oh my god..." Flash chuckled. Rolling his eyes once more. He glanced towards Sunset and Applejack. "Well what do you guys..." just as he turned his head towards him. He arched his eyebrow at the scene of them looking "shook". "Yo, what the heck?"

Rarity quirked an eyebrow. It prompted her to glance at them.

And well, needless to say. She caught Flash's drift pretty quickly. Because she ended up breaking down into a fit of laughter as she pointed it out. "What are you two doing?"

Sunset and Applejack were finally snapped back into reality. Responding to the latter.

"Yo, this place looks better than my whole Apartment!" Sunset exclaimed. Being enough to get the laughter out of her boyfriend.

Applejack glanced at Rarity and Flash. Not able to comprehend their whole 'nonchalancy' and what not. "How can y'all just talk so willy-nilly about this place. It's more gorgeous than a pussy willow storm in Appleoosa!"

Flash and Rarity both glanced at each other. Shrugging as more or less, they had the same answer:

Sunset and Applejack both promptly slouched and widened their eyes to the words of their partners. Not at all coherent enough to express how incomprehensible that was to them.

And they just stood there, and stood there...

And most importantly, stood there

Flash and Rarity again glanced at one another. Both widening their eyes.

"Uhhh, I think they're broken..." said Flash.

Rarity merely shrugged. "You would be surprised to find out how often this happens, Darling." She gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Even before you two began to date, If I dare boasted about extravagent things or anything that related to my parents wealth....one or the other kind of did something along the lines of frozen shock."

"Oh...." There was a moment of silence had ensued after that. As the two watched their lovers stand there completely frozen. "So--"

"Half a glass of cold water, Darling." She turned around, exiting the washroom to go through with that task. Leaving Flash and the "frozen".

Flash scratched the back of his head, not really seeing any other option. He too started for the exit to go through with what Rarity had suggested.

...

Before walking right back inside. Specifically, walking towards Sunset. Gently taking her camera away from her, ending the recording, and turning it off completely.

"I'm gonna charge this for you." He chuckled. Heading right back out the door again. Actually leaving the two in there.


Author's Note

Chapter 2 was gonna be the end, but I decided I like writing these interactions. So I'm gonna see where this goes.

Honestly I like both ships (maybe Rarijack a little more cuz why not. Or maybe Flashimmer because also why not.)

I don't know if I can end up writing a whole AU about this. Mainly because I woulsn't know how to pull something like that off....so yeah

As for Prospect, it might be cancelled because I cannot think of anything in my head to write on the next chapter
