Around 11:45 she was pacing her living room planning out what she was going to say.

"Nightfall I'm sorry, I don't know what happened last night. Let's act like it never happened and just make out."

"WHAT?! No no no no. Let's try that again."

And that's what it was like between herself for another ten minutes.

"Oh my Luna! He's almost here!!"

She wasn't even remotely prepared.

"I guess I'll just wing it."

It was 11:45 when he looked up at a clock. He did tend to get immersed in his work. He got up and started out his door.

"Right... Walk there. Don't be way to early."

And at 11:57, he knocked on her door.

"So... just hope this goes well. You aren't really prepared..."

He noticed a slight pause.

"Hey, Sapphire..."

Something about her... Whatever it was, he liked it. A lot.

"What is wrong with you?!"

"There's something about her..."

"I know. But there must be something wrong with you."

~

"Come in."

She opened the door and stood aside.

She led him to the couch and motioned for him to sit.

"Nightfall," she sighed and looked down at her hooves, "I'm sorry about last night. I flipped out when it was uncalled for. I should have calmly explained like this."

She looked up at him and quickly leaned over and kissed him, taking his face in her hooves.

"I'm sorry but I didn't trust you. I didn't trust myself to stop you if you went any further and I took my distrust of myself out on you."

"I really do care for you and I want to keep dating you. We are dating, aren't we?"

She just assumed that they were dating and potentially set herself up for heartbreak.

Her eyes looked deep into his and tears started pooling.

"Please stop me from crying. Please, anyway you can. You can."

~

He saw her tears start welling in her eyes.

"We were and are dating, Sapphire... Please, don't cry."

He moved a bit closer, and wiped her eyes.

"Did you do something..?"

"Not that I know of... Is this self-guilt on her part?"

"If it is, you need to end it somehow without... without making her flip out again."

"I'll try my best."

He backed away a bit after wiping her tears up. He didn't want to mess up.

He looked at her for a moment, then decided to take a chance. He kissed her gently, yet passionately.
