New Land, New Customs, New Life....New Love?

Night Shade trotted along to Sugarcube Corner for breakfast. Ever since last night, he hadn't been able to get Twilight Sparkle of his mind. Something about her just made him feel whole, and complete in every way he could think of. Just being near her made him feel calm, relaxed and all around loose.

"Hello dear, welcome back." Mrs. Cake said as he entered, causing a small jingle as the door hit a small set of bells.

"Hello, Can I get a bagel with some strawberry cream cheese?" he asked.

"Sure thing. By the way, Twilight was here a little bit ago, wondering if you had come in yet. She said your name was Night Shade and she described you quite well." she said as she got his food ready.

"She did? Do you know where she went?" he asked.

"She said something about a park. That'll be five bits." she said.

Night Shade handed her the bits, took his food and hurried out, making a beeline for the park. He tried to eat his bagel while running, but without being a unicorn, it didn't work too well and he ended up having bagel and cream cheese smeared on his face. When he got to the park he found Twilight sitting in the same spot they sat for dinner, which only now did Night Shade realize was a date. Before trotting up to her, he took his hoof and wiped the mess from his face. Once somewhat cleaned up he went up to her and hoping it would be kinda funny, proceeded to poke her in the sides, causing her to jump and emit a loud squeal. She turned and scowled which upon seeing it was him, turned into a wide smile.

Night couldn't help but try to hold back his laugh. Her squeak was not only funny, but way too cute.

"Night!" Twilight said happily as she hugged him.

"Whoah, um what was that for?" he asked, having been caught off guard by the sudden hug.

Twilight turned slightly away as she tried to hide her blush.

"I-I just thought..."

"Thought what?" he asked, wondering if the answer was what he was hoping it would be.

"I thought y-youlikedmetoo!" she said quickly. Night smiled and leaned forward hugging her back.

"Of course I like, you, I mean, not that I know that much about you, but I can at least say, you are the most beautiful pony I have ever seen." he said smiling. He had always happened to have a habit of causing mares to fall for him wherever he went due to his complimenting. Sometimes, he did it with out even realizing it.

"Y-you think I'm pretty?" she asked, obviously caught off guard.

"No, not pretty, absolutely Gorgeou-mmph!" he said, effectively being silenced by Twilight's lips now pressing against his own. Quickly getting over his surprise, he pushed back into the kiss, deepening it. When they broke apart, they both had a blush gracing each of their faces, and they both could tell that the other had quite enjoyed it.

"So Twilight, why don't we sit here and talk for a while. I want to know all about you." Night said, smiling, eager to know as much as possible about the mare he was going to be with.
