"I'm admittedly a little nervous about today, Spike." Twilight said. "It's my first date with Flash Sentry and I don't want anything to go wrong." She added. "But dad told me just to wing it and be myself; it's how he acted towards my mom." The purple alicorn concluded.

"I know you can be hyper organized Twilight, but no amount of organization will prepare you for romance. Take it from someone whose love life is more or less fulfilled." Spike said. "Me and Sweetie Belle have spent lots of time together, and all the time I've done exactly what dad suggested you do: Be myself." He added.

"Really? From what I've seen, you two just look like friends." Twilight said.

"It would appear to anyone else that way sure, but that's only because we're both so young." Spike said. "We're not really the right age to start worrying about marriage or anything like that. It's why Sweetie Belle and I haven't been dating dating. But the time we're spending together now will prevent us from having any problems later I feel. We both just feel right together." He explained.

"I see...maybe I should try some of that with Flash from time to time..." Twilight said.

"Ask him if the date goes well." Spike said.

"You know what? I will." Twilight said.

Meanwhile, at Shadowbolt HQ, Rainbow Dash was playing a few games with Thunderlane. Normally the cyan mare wouldn't care for games, but she wants to get close to Thunderlane and he suggested they play a board game together. So now, Rainbow Dash is stepping out of her usual comfort zone for this occasion. However, Rainbow Dash didn't feel herself growing bored at all for some reason. It wasn't long before they were called to come practice by Night Wing however.

"Well drat." Thunderlane said. "And we were having quite a bit of fun too." He added.

"It was fun. I was expecting myself to grow seriously bored, but it seems that didn't happen." Rainbow Dash said. "Must've been because I was actually enjoying the time we were spending together." She added.

"Too true. Your something else, you know that Dash? After practice and we hit the showers, wanna go flying together? Nothing high speed, just a nice relaxing flight." Thunderlane said.

"Sure thing. You must have a reason for just going slow flying." Rainbow Dash said.

"Where do you think my endurance comes from? Trust me Dash, with enough time, you'll be able to handle high speeds a lot better with enough slow flying." Thunderlane said.

"Oh now you've got me interested. It's a date." Rainbow Dash said but blinked. "...Did I really just say that?" She asked.

"You did. But it's not really a date. A date is when you take someone out to someplace fancy." Thunderlane said.

"Thunderlane, you really need to rethink your definition of a date." Rainbow Dash said.

Note to self: Rethink your definition of a date... Twilight thought to herself. When Flash Sentry had asked the purple Alicorn on a date, Twilight expected them to be at a fancy restaurant, not strolling through town just doing all sorts of things together.

"Something the matter, Twilight?" Flash Sentry asked.

"Well, it's just that, I expected us to being eating out somewhere." Twilight said.

"Oh, don't worry, that's coming up." Flash Sentry said. "I'm interested in trying those hayburgers. From what I've been seeing, there's all sorts of veggies and fruits as well as other things that only an herbivore would eat." He noted.

"Well, I won't lie, Ponies are herbivores. Though, you'll have to excuse me if I end up with twenty something hayburgers." Twilight said. "I really, really like hayburgers in case you couldn't tell from that fact..." She added.

"You're exaggerating on the twenty hayburgers, right?" Flash Sentry asked.

Flash Sentry would soon find out that Twilight was not exaggerating.

"That was a nice flight." Rainbow Dash said to Thunderlane.

"Indeed it was. So, what do you say we go pop in Sugarcube Corner and grab a bite to eat?" Thunderlane said.

"Shouldn't you be going home? It's getting late." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, my house isn't that far from Sugarcube Corner." Thunderlane said. The duo arrived and found Scootaloo with some colt Rainbow didn't recognize. "Rumble? What are you doing here?" Thunderlane asked.

"Oh hey bro. Whose the mare?" Rumble asked. "Wait a second, isn't that Rainbow Dash?" He noticed.

"Bro? Wait, you and Thunderlane are brothers?!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

"Yes, yes we are." Rumble said. Scootaloo fainted. "...Was it something I said?" Rumble asked.

"No, it's the fact that I'm here with your brother. But give my little sister some time to collect her thoughts, and she'll be back to normal." Rainbow Dash said.

"Sister? Scootaloo is your sister?!" Rumble exclaimed. Rainbow Dash nodded, causing Rumble to faint now.

"...Well, that's something I didn't think would happen today." Thunderlane said.

"Well, that is something I didn't think would happen today. Don't most couples go a few dates before their first kiss?" Flash Sentry asked.

"I think so, but it just...it felt right. If that makes any sense." Twilight said. Flash sentry pulled Twilight into a wing hug.

"I don't mind it, but I just hope you're not trying to move too fast." Flash Sentry said.

"My apologies, I just...the sunset and the hill...I just couldn't help myself." Twilight said. "Perhaps love is more about feeling then thinking." She added.

"Well, I'm new to this love thing to, but I'm not complaining about the kiss we shared today. Well, I might as well get you home now." Flash Sentry said.

"Right. Let's have another date soon." Twilight said.

"You bet." Flash Sentry said.

"So, you and Thunderlane are getting together..." Scootaloo asked her sister as they arrived at Rainbow Dash's house.

"Yep." Rainbow Dash said.

"And Rumble happens to be his brother who I've actually become interested in as a coltfriend." Scootlaoo said.

"Eeyep." Rainbow Dash said.

"So, am I the only one who thinks there's something weird going on here with us two sisters dating those two?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, I for one am glad you want to try and have someone yourself. I was worried I'd leave you behind." Rainbow Dash said.

"Ha! Fat chance of that happening! Thanks to Rumble's help, I might be able to fly soon." Scootaloo said.

"That's good to hear." Rainbow Dash said. "But if he ever gives you trouble..." She added.

"I think I can handle him." Scootaloo said.

"If you couldn't, then I'd be worried." Rainbow Dash said. The two sisters entered the house and headed for bed.

Author's Note

Yeah, I had to include the fandom canon thing about Twilight being obsessed with Hayburgers here. Simply because I can.
