Right in front of you

"So i have nothing to do this weekend." Said caramel.

Caramel was in a pub in Ponyville called "The Salt Lick." He sat at a table in the corner with four other stallions.

In addition to Lucky, Caramel had four other friends that he would hang out with. The first was a blue earth pony with a music note for a cutie mark. His name was Noteworthy, a local songwriter. The second was a black pegasus with a mohawk and a could with a thunderbolt for a cutie mark. He was Thunderlane, a weather pony. The third was a yellow unicorn with a bluish mane and a shooting star for a cutie mark. He was Comet tail, an astronomer from canterlot who moved to ponyville a year ago. The last was a blue unicorn with a white mane and a saftey pin for a cutie mark. He was Pokey Pierce, a pony known for his sharp horn.

"Again?" Asked Noteworthy.

"Thats the third weekend in a row." Said Comet tail.

Thunderlane took a long sip of his cider.

"Luck said hes going to Carrot top's for dinner." Said Caramel.

"Maybe you should go out on a date this weekend." Suggested Pokey.

Caramel took a quick sip of his club soda.

"Im not letting you guys pick out another blind date for me." Said Caramel, annoyed.

Last hearts and hooves day they talked caramel into going out on a blind date with a pegasus named Wind whistler. Caramel did not enjoy it.

"Maybe Applejack would be interested." Said Noteworthy in a smug tone.

Caramel blushed.

"Why you gotta be like that to me?" Asked Caramel. "Why not Comet?"

Comet nearly choked on his cider.

"Im not sure what your talking about." Said Comet tail, nervously.

"Well you might want to ask her out soon Mel." Said Thunderlane. "Somepony might beat ya to it."

Caramel took another sip of his drink.

"Thunderlane is right ya know." Said Noteworthy. "Better get started before you loose her."

Caramel finished his drink.

"Fine." Said Caramel. "Ill go talk to her after i rest a bit at home."

Caramel got up and left.

"Hes going to fail." Said Thunderlane.

"Big time." Added Noteworthy.

Caramel walked up to the front door of his house and walked inside. The building itself was somewhat roomy, Caramel's parents definitely paid their money's worth. Caramel let out a yawn as he walked up the stairs to his room.

"Shoot im tired...." Muttered Caramel.

Caramel opened the door to his room and flopped onto his bed.

"Just need an hour of sleep." Thought Caramel.

Caramel shut his eyes and dozed off.

Caramel walked through sweet apple acres.

"Wheres Everypony?" Thought Caramel.

Caramel approached one of the several barns located on the orchard. Caramel opened the front door and looked inside. Inside the barn was a party. A disco ball spun around on the ceiling, a snack table was set up on the side, and a dj on a turntable was playing an upbeat song. Ponies inside socialized and danced, all dressed in suits and dresses.

"Huh." Muttered Caramel.

Caramel stepped inside and looked down. Caramel noticed that he was wearing a dress shirt, a black suit jacket, and a green tie.

"When did this get there?" Thought Caramel.

"There ya are!"

Caramel looked to the source of the voice. It was Applejack. She was dressed in her gala dress.

"Yer a little late." Said Applejack.

"I didnt know there was a party going on." Replied Caramel.

Applejack smiled and laughed.

"Least yer here now." Said Applejack.

The dj stopped the current song and put on a slow song. Ponies began pairing up and began slow dancing. Caramel realized that he and Applejack were the only two not dancing.

"Are ya gunna dance with me or not silly." Said Applejack.

Caramel blushed a deep red as Applejack put one hoof on Caramel's shoulder and another on his back. Caramel nervously put his front hooves around her and they began dancing.

Caramel stared into Applejack's green eyes.

"Theres something I want to tell you." Began Caramel.

Before Caramel could finish, he heard a loud crash.

Caramel jumped from his bed, startled by the crash.

"What the!?"

Caramel looked out his bedroom window and saw a wagon crashed into a fruit stand, with two ponies shouting at eachother next to it.

"Wait." Thought Caramel. "Its morning!"

Caramel facehoofed himself he overslept and didnt get to ask out Applejack.

"Darn it!" Yelled Caramel.

Caramel felt his stomach growl and sighed.

"Well, ill try later today." Said Caramel. "But I need some breakfast.

Caramel didnt feel like cooking, so he decided to eat out. There was a restaurant not too far from his home. Caramel stepped outside, avoiding the wreaked fruit stand and walked towards the restaurant.

"That dream i had....." Thought Caramel. "Wonder what it ment."

Caramel thought about the dream he had and how he danced with Applejack in it. He was so caught up in it that he saw startled when he heard his name being called.

"Caramel!"

Caramel looked and noticed that he was approaching the restaurant and sitting at a table outside with a notebook was Comet tail. Caramel walked up to his friend.

"Morning comet." Said Caramel.

"Morning." Said Comet tail. "Care to join me?"

Caramel smiled and sat at the seat across from Comet tail.

"Whats with the notebook?" Asked Caramel.

"Im going over some notes from last night's star watching." Replied Comet tail.

A waiter walked up to them.

"Ready to order?"

Comet tail looked at the waiter.

"Just a hay omlet and some coffee." Said Comet tail.

"Ill have some pancakes." Said Caramel.

The waiter nodded and walked inside.

"How was last night?" Asked Comet tail.

"Never happened." Said Caramel. "I overslept."

Comet tail set his notebook onto the table.

"Caramel you cant just keep procrastinating on this." Said Comet tail. "Your loosing time-"

Comet tail was cut off when a purple unicorn Caramel recognized as one of Applejack's friends walked by. Comet tail stopped talking and watched as she passed by. Caramel raised a confused eyebrow.

"Comet?"

Comet tail shook his head and looked back at Caramel.

"Sorry, got distracted." Said Comet tail.

"Right......" Said Caramel. "Any interesting finds last night?"

"Not really." Replied Comet tail. "But by the looks of it, theres going to be a meteor shower within the next two months."

Comet reached for his notebook, but accidentally knocked it on the ground. Caramel picked it off the ground and glanced at the page it was on.

"........ Comet."

The page had several doodles of The purple unicorn on it.

"You like Twilight, dont you?" Said Caramel with a smug look on his face.

Comet tail blushed a bright shade of red.

"What-...... No..... Er.... Well."

Caramel chuckled.

"Comet you cant just keep procrastinating on this." Said Caramel. "Your loosing time-"

The waiter walked out and set their meals on the table.

"Enjoy your meal."

The waiter stepped back inside.

"Lets just eat." Said Comet tail, taking his notebook back.

About three hours later, Caramel walked down the road to sweet apple acres. He needed to talk with Applejack. As he approached the farm, he saw Applebloom and her two friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie belle rolling a barrel out of the barn.

"Wonder what they are up to?" Thought Caramel.

Caramel approached the three fillies Applebloom was the first to notice Caramel.

"Howdy Caramel!" Applebloom said in an enthusiastic tone.

"So watcha up to?" Asked Caramel.

It was Scootaloo who answered his question.

"Were going to turn this into a sweet Go-Kart and race it against the Boy's!"

Caramel chuckled.

"Do you have permission to do so?" Asked Caramel.

"Eyup!" Said Applebloom.

The three resumed rolling the barrel away, most likely towards their clubhouse. Caramel smiled.

"Hey Caramel."

Caramel turned around and saw Applejack looking at him.

"Oh hi." Said Caramel.

Caramel's heart melted at the sight of the orange mare.

"Glad ya stopped by." Said Applejack. "Ah need ta ask ya something."

Caramel's heart started beating faster than usual.

"Yeah Aj?"

Time slowed down for Caramel as he waited for Applejack's question.
