sunlight:
"That only makes me believe more that it has to do with what happened at the arcade." Sunlight noted when Dynamo said it hadn't happened before, to his comment about staying away from games "Usually I would agree with you but we are talking about your talent here, I of course won't push you to do anything, but in my opinion faster we can deal with it better, I don't want you to end up suffering as long as I have." she returned the hug. "Good, now, since there isn't anything else we can do about it right now, I suppose we should continue with what we were doing."

Jade:
"I appreciate the optimistic viewpoint in life, but since it seems we are going to interact more than this once, I feel that I should mention that my own way of thinking is highly fact based, so I apologize in advance if I sometimes come up as rude or negative due how direct I am."
Jade explained, he looked thoughtful for a second at the mention of cutiemarks "Cutiemarks are a complicated matter, I'm yet to figure how much choice actually effects on what your cutiemark ends up being." he looked bit surprised at the praise,especially the part Dew muttered, but besides blushing just a bit for a second again, he didn't say anything yet, but he did mention it when he replied to her asking him to hang out "Considering your previous statement. that sound like you're asking me on a date, but sure, you seem like somepony I could enjoy my time with and it would give me a chance to forget my sister for a moment."

"Picking up heavier things isn't that much more complicated really, but holding them for longer periods of time does require a bit of exercise." "And sure." he smiled

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo didn't say anything at first, but to nod slowly at Sunlight's observation. "I wonder if this has to do with just the arcade, video games in general, or both. I can confirm the location is the same as it was from that day with the others. It's like I'm being called back there more and more, but I can't understand the reason." He said, shaking his head with a look of disappointment. The disappointment wasn't to anyone, but himself as he wanted to figure out what was going on. He looked up to Sunlight, while nodding in agreement to her train of thought. "Yeah, you're right. While it would be good to conquer this ordeal and fix the situation. I can say that it's okay to wait for another time. We're still on vacation and we've got a lot planned. We'll pick a time to figure out when to fix this situation. For right now, we're enjoying a day at the mall and then preparing for that surprise." He smirked playfully, while pushing his shoulder against her shoulder lightly. "That sounds like a plan to me." He smiles in agreement to Sunlight's plans. "Now where were we? I believe I was escorting a beautiful and lovely mare to a bookstore?" He asks, intertwining their tails, while taking her hoof into his own hoof. With a nod, he started to walk and lead the two of them over to the bookstore.

Dew Drop:
Dew listened closely to Jade's statement, before nodding with a soft smile. "T-Thank you for telling me, Jade. I r-really appreciate the warning in a-advance. I've honestly n-never looked at that way of thinking before, b-but I guess there's a first time for everything. I-I'll be sure to keep in mind about your highly f-fact based thoughts." She says, closing her eyes briefly at Jade's thoughts about cutie mark. "I-I'm not entirely sure about that one. I-I would guess that it's based on w-what you're good at. That, or m-maybe something that you love or c-can be passionate about. I know I-I was really happy when being around flowers. That, and I-I was always fascinated by the d-different species of flowers in Equestria." She smiled, glancing behind her to look at all the flowers she had in the shop. She quickly turned back to Jade, who had confirmed her train of thought to be a date.

She would have blushed in embarrassment had it not been for Jade's answer. She was somewhat surprised that he agreed, but she was happy in getting to know him more. She felt saddened at his response of being together to forget about his sister. To her, it felt like she was just using him to get his mind off of things. She soon shook her head as this wasn't the case. He had said that she was someone that he could enjoy spending time with. She just had to be optimistic and look at the bright side of things. "I-Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I-I can imagine that it's been a while since you've b-been to Manehatten." 

The ebony Pegasus smiled with a nod, before she proceeded to leave the main room. "Great! I'll be back in just a moment." She says, momentarily excusing herself from the room. After a few minutes had passed, Dew had suddenly returned with the gardening book in hoof. She panted as she rushed back in fear of Jade had suddenly left. "Here you go, J-Jade! Also, I-I'm sorry if it took so long to find the book. I thought it was on my shelf, but it was in my night desk. I guess it was a fairly sized novel that I thought I had misplaced the book." She giggled sheepishly, before handing the book over to Jade.

Sunlight:

"Well, waiting for another time isn't necessarily okay, but it's really the only thing we can do, because we can't solve a problem if we don't know what the problem is." Sunlight corrected.
Sunlight chuckled at Dynamo's 'question' as she helped with the intertwining and allowed Dynamo to take her hoof. She was still worried about what was going on with Dynamo, but it was like she said, she didn't know how to help him yet because she didn't know the exact cause.

Jade:
"That is the common understanding of cutiemarks yes, but then there is the cases of somepony not knowing what their cutiemark is for. If it was only based on your passions and skills, why would the meaning be unclear to some?."
Jade replied thoughtfully.

"No place specific." Jade replied to the question "But something around this area could be nice, since this is far enough from the hotel and....our old apartment, that I'm not that familiar with it." actually it was because he didn't want to be reminded about certain things, but he didn't want to say that out loud.

He took the book onto his hoof and looked at it for a moment to see if he had read it already, he then put it on his back "Thanks, and no need to apologize, I have no hurry to anywhere, i'm on a vacation after all." he grinned.

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo nodded and was thankful for Sunlight's correction. "Thank you and that's true. I guess I meant to say it like that, but I said it differently. I feel like I can think things through, but then say things in a different way." He chuckled and shook his head. "Sometimes I wonder how I can plan a strategy of sorts when playing a video game. I do one idea and then instantly go another idea to correct myself. Sometimes it ends well, or it just plain ends badly." He shook his head with a smile as the two had reached the library. He opened the door for Sunlight to enter, before making his way into the bookstore himself. As he looked around, he was surprised the place had a plethora of different novels to choose from. "Huh. I thought there would have been not that many books. Given that the store looks small on the outside of the shop. I guess looks can be deceiving." He smiles, looking around at what the store had to offer.

Dew Drop:
As Dew Drop handed Jade the book, she blushed as he felt her hoof upon her own hoof. She had thought she felt a surge of electricity from the touch, but soon nodded as he took the book. "I-I guess that makes sense. I w-wonder if someone had ever looking into the s-science of cutie mark. I know that a cutie mark c-can just happen, but there should b-be an explanation. Given that you s-said the meaning behind a mark c-can be unclear at times." At the mention of nowhere to fly or explore any specific area, she nodded with a smile. "O-Okay. Perhaps we'll just look around and see what the town has to offer for us. Would you like to have a w-walking buddy, o-or a flying buddy? Either way w-works for me, Jade." She thought she had heard hesitation in his voice as he brought up his old apartment, but chose not to say anything at that moment. She blushed lightly, while smiling softly as she saw his grin. To her, it was like the entire flower shop had just been brightened up.

"T-That's good to hear. It's always fun to b-be on vacation. Especially, i-if you're with some friends." She smiled, before glancing at the door. "So, s-shall we be off? W-We wouldn't want to be burning any daylight. We should still h-have plenty of time to explore the town."

Sunlight:
Sunlight acknowledged Dynamo's comments with a smile and a nod, but she didn't have anything to comment on it.
 "Bookstores do often have a surprising amount of book even when they are small, books are one of those things that you can have a lot in small area." she noted as she too started looking around, searching for anything that didn't look like something she had read before.

Jade:

"I prefer flying really, if for no other reason than not needing to endure the busy streets." Jade simply replied "Which brings me to, do you happen to have a spare rope or something? So I can tie the book down so it doesn't fall off."
He smiled "Sure"

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo acknowledged Sunlight's comment with a smile and nod, while he continued to look around the shelves of books. "That's true and it depends on the type of books. Sometimes they are paperback and other times they are hardback covers. So, I guess it depends on how many books are stacked on one shelf, or something along those lines." He turned back to her and chuckled as a memory soon resurfaced. "I remember going to a bookstore at my hometown. They had comics that I wanted, but they were always out of order. Either they missed the one book I needed, or they had too many of one copy. It was never fun having to search for said book, but the hunt was intriguing." He raised his eyebrows to emphasize his joke. He turned forward, before gasping in surprise. He briskly walked over, until he reached the intended section of books. "So, they do have a manga section here. Most libraries don't consider manga an actual book. Seeing how they are reading from right to left and mostly picture panels."

As he looked through the column of manga, he stumbled upon what he was looking for. "Sweet!" He exclaimed softly as he made sure the manga he picked up was legit. "This is the manga that I've been missing from My Hero Academia. They even have the one that's set to come out this week." He grinned as he levitated both books out of the shelf. He almost began to prance around, while feeling enlightened about finding his choice of books. "I think I know what I'm getting!" He cheered in a sing song tone. He looked back to Sunlight and chuckled. Blushing as he ran a hoof through his mane because of his childish nature. "I'm guessing you saw enough to say that I'll never live that down?" He closed his eyes and grinned sheepishly with a nervous chuckle.

Dew Drop:
Dew Drop could only giggle at Jade's explanation for flying. "O-Oh, I can relate. Seeing how t-the streets are always crowded. You can never get anywhere in town. F-Flying isn't as bad, but always being on lookout for other Pegasi c-can be a hassle." She nods in agreement, before tilting her head in confusion. As Jade had explained why he needed a rope for the book, the ebony Pegasus could only shake her head. "U-Unfortunately, I don't. Maybe w-we can leave the book here. We'll probably be b-back here after our flight around town. S-So, it's better to keep the book in a safe place, before l-losing it and having to search all over town. B-Besides, you can never t-trust other ponies in this town. I-I've seen my fair share of con artists." She says, taking the book he gave her and placing said book upon her front desk. She soon walked to the front door and turned the front sign to closed. Just in case there was a customer, who was interested in stopping by the shop. As the two left the store, Dew Drop made sure to lock the door, so nobody would break in.

The ebony Pegasus had soon stretched her wings, before kicking lightly off of the ground. "Okay. N-Now let's get to flying and see what M-Manehatten has in store for these two pegasi!" She cheered, albeit softly to not draw any attention to herself or Jade.

Sunlight:
Sunlight just listened what Dynamo said as she scanned the books with her eyes constantly moving from shelf to shelf. "Well, this is a bookstore and not a library." she said chuckling "and I'd say the reason why they don't have is more about the demand, manga isn't the most popular type of book after all." she pointed out without turning her eyes away from the shelves. She didn't really pay attention to Dynamo's reaction to finding what he wanted other than acknowledging that it happened, and she replied jokingly to his last comment "Technically I didn't see anything since I have only looked at books, so you don't need to worry about that.". After she had eventually gone through the whole shop, she walked into the middle of the shop and lit her horn, levitating some books from different parts of the shop to herself "I'll buy these."

jade:
Jade shrugged "As you wish." as she gave the book to Dew with a smile, it was Dew's book after all, so she decided where it would be. He simply followed her out.
He chuckled a bit at Dew's words as he took off himself, waiting for her to choose the direction and speed, not knowing how good of a flyer she was.

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo chuckled and rolled his eyes playfully at her remark. "True, but you'd be surprised. They have a lot of books on fiction, manga, nonfiction, science fiction, books on pets, comics and magazines and autobiographies. I guess it depends on what the customers want to pick up at the book store. Either that, or the bookstore can cancel anything that isn't selling well. I remember seeing a manga series one day and the next it was all gone." He sighed in relief as she told him that she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "That's good. Although, I feel as if you'd get a kick out of my goofy nature. I don't think it could ever get old for you, Sunny." He says, going over to the clerk, who had been running the store. "I'll take these two books please." He says, placing the right amount of bits on the counter. The blue unicorn smiled as he took the books with him as they were now his manga. He looked to Sunlight, who had some books levitating from her magic. "It looks like someone found some interesting books to take with her. Perhaps a good read on the ride home, or when we are relaxing in the hotel room?" He smiled as he walked up to her. 

Dew Drop:
Dew only giggled as she nodded at Jade's reply. She looked around to find a good place for them to start exploring. "How about over that way?" She pointed to their left and started to fly off in that general direction. She smiled as she could feel the wind flow through her mane. "There's nothing like a g-good breeze when one is flying. U-Unless you're wearing a hat and it flies away." She giggled, but knew that she felt sorry for those unfortunate souls. "I-If there is any place you want to stop to l-look at, then by all means." She says, looking around all the stores and other shops as they flew past.

Sunlight:
Sunlight again replied just with gestures like smile.
"Not all of them are interesting necessarily, just something I haven't read yet, but yeah, I'll probably read them whenever there's nothing else to do." Sunlight mentioned nonchalantly yet kindly as she made her way over to the clerk and bought the books, she also bought a bag and a piece of rope which she then used to tie the books on her back. She then smiled at Dynamo, "what next?"

Jade:
Jade nodded when Dew suggested a direction, and matched his speed with hers so they were flying next to each other, he chuckled at her hat comment with a nod, but didn't have anything to say. "Like said, there isn't any specific places." he replied "I'm used to just follow others and do what they like, so I don't really have preferences in that matter." he explained.

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo nodded in understanding to Sunlight's choice on books. "Fair enough. It's always good to look into books that we haven't read yet. Sometimes they can be good and gives us a reason to get more by the author." He says, snickering slightly, before continuing. "So, basically when we are on the train ride home. That, or when it's time for us to fall asleep for the night. Given that we've had so much to do on the trip and when we were back home." He chuckled at the joke and shook his head at how terrible it sounded. He decided to get a piece of rope to tie the books to his back. Seeing how he had left his saddlebag back at the hotel room. As she had bought the books from the clerk, Dynamo made sure to take the necklace from his jacket pocket and placed said necklace in the bag. As he tied the bag on his back, he smiled as he looked to Sunlight, before humming in thought. "Hmm...how about you can choose the next place to go. I think you suggested the jewelry store, which turned into a clothes store. Afterwards, I chose the bookstore. I guess we can go back and forth in choosing places to go and it's been working, so far." He smiled as the couple started to make their way out of the bookstore.

Dew Drop:
Dew nodded at Jade's remark, but frowned slightly. She remembered him telling her he liked flying and learning new things. He didn't really have much else to tell her, but she wasn't sure where to go. She blushed slightly as her stomach suddenly growled. "S-Sorry about that. I guess I was b-busy with my work that I chose to take a late lunch." She says, noticing a carrot dog stand on the sidewalk. "How about we stop for a late lunch and look around. Perhaps there will be something for us to window shop, or catch our interests." She suggested as she felt that idea would work in seeing what other stuff Jade liked.

 Sunlight:
"And I don't know them word to word already." Sunlight added. she chuckled at Dynamo's bad joke.
"I don't know, I guess we could check out the general stores to see what they have." she replied shrugging, she really didn't know, she was still bothered by what happened with Dynamo earlier, so she didn't really think about what she would like to do.

Jade:
"No need to apologize for working hard, as somepony who just spend few days without seeing the sun in a ancient library working, I can understand."
Jade commented with a chuckle "And sure."

Dynamo Pad:
"With your impressive memorization skills, I can imagine you'd be a lead in a play. Maybe even having your own sort of book club." He chuckled, before nodding at the idea. "You know? That would actually be pretty cool. It depends on the book, but I can see you enjoying a discussion with others. Have you ever had something like that with Lunar, Frail and Golden?" He asks, nodding at the suggestion. "Okay and that sounds good. Maybe they'll have a store to check out on the ground floor. Since we saw how many stores were available to visit." As the duo were making their way out of the bookstore, Dynamo noticed the shrug and thought he had seen a look of worry. "Is everything okay, Sunny. You look troubled. Do you want to talk about it?" He asks, stopping to turn towards the orange mare.

Dew Drop:
Dew's eyes widened at the mention of what Jade's job was all about, before giggling with a nod. "I-It sounds like you and I have something in common. We t-take great pride in the value of hard work." She says, still blinking in wonder of the job he just mentioned. "S-Still. I never knew there was an ancient l-library around here. Perhaps I s-should explore Manehatten a little more thorough next time." She chuckled, before nodding as they landed near the carrot dog stand. She ordered a carrot dog for her and Jade, while giving the right amount of bits to the vendor. "There you go, Jade.You don't have t-to worry about paying me back. I'm just g-glad to be spending time with a friend." She says, taking a bite of her late lunch and smiled. "This is really good. Y-You can never go wrong with a carrot dog. A-Although, just make sure to watch out f-for the birds. They just want to s-steal food without a second g-glance." She narrowed her eyes as the birds flew overhead. Almost as if she was telling the birds to do their worst.

Sunlight:
Sunlight hummed thoughtfully at Dynamo's suggestion, "They don't really read books, Lunar and Frail rather work and Golden can't for obvious reasons.".
"Everything is fine."
She claimed "I'm just trying to think solutions to your flashback situation."


Jade:
"It's outside the city and it isn't open for public yet, it has been found not long time ago so they are still researching it." Jade explained, he exhaled amused at Dew stopping him from paying back "If you insist, but you can't stop me from making it up to you." he challenged humorously as he took a bite, he just smiled at the bird comment and nodded.

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo had a look of awe at Sunlight's reasoning, before nodding in understanding. "That's fair. I guess reading isn't for everyone. That, or sometimes there's no time for other hobbies. I can understand for Golden, but I could see her listening to audio stories. Like in museum's where you go on an audio tour, or something like that." He says, nodding with a frown at her claim that all was well. At her mentioning about helping with his flashback, he was surprised. 'She's still not letting that flashback go. I know she said she'd help, but this takes time. It's like me when I wanted to help her with her flashbacks. I guess...it really shows how much she cares.' He thought, nodding as he felt an idea had come to mind. "Okay, then. How about we make a detour. Maybe we can go find an arcade nearby that's up and running. We can work together and figure out what's going on with these flashbacks. Would that be okay? I know that your worried and I appreciate the help. I just want to help put your worries at ease, sweetheart." He says, giving Sunlight a reassuring look. 

Dew Drop: 
Dew looked to Jade with a look of wonder and understanding. "I-I guess that's how I have n-never heard of this ancient library. I wonder if they h-had any books on botany and other plants." She says, beginning to feel curious of what this library had to offer. At the mention of paying her back, she shook her head. "I guess there's n-no changing your mind. S-So, how do you plan on paying me back? W-We go out on a date for d-dinner and find a n-nice relaxing spot?" She giggled jokingly, while looking around for a place or store the duo could explore.

Sunlight:
"She prefers music, that being her talent and all." Sunlight replied.
She looked unsure when Dynamo made his suggestion "I do want to solve it, and I know that is probably the only way to do so....but at the same time, the idea of purposely causing you suffering is.....non-appealing." She eventually replied "If you want to do it, I won't argue, but you can't stop me from feeling concerned about it until it stops happening, because I know from personal experience how terrible it can be, and I don't want anypony to suffer through it."

Jade:
"There was some books about plants, but besides few lines about few now extinct plants, there wasn't anything you can't find from modern libraries." Jade explained "Until of course you are interested in what plant names are in old ponish, in which case I guess there's something new...or well, old. He smirked a bit at her question "Best payback is unexpected payback."

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo nodded understandingly towards Golden's talent for music. "That's true and she definitely has an ear for music. No pun intended, of course. I don't know if I asked you or her, but I wonder what kind of music she styles in. I guess I should ask her the next time we all meet up." He says, nodding hesitantly about her statement. "I won't lie to you. I'm extremely nervous and this may not be the best idea in the world. However, it's better to tackle that fear head on, instead of not at all. If I can't conquer this fear, or at least find out what's wrong, then I'll never be able to work towards my dream." He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he knew that this couldn't be helped. "I do want to do this and I know we'll get through this. If anything happens, then I know that you'll be able to bring me back. I know what that feeling of suffering, but I just need to remember what's important to me. Just like how you, Starlight and everyone else have been there for me. I trust you, Sunny, no matter what." He says as the two started to make their way towards a local arcade.

Dew Drop:
The ebony Pegasus was fascinated by the discovery of other plants, but was saddened to hear that those plants were extinct. "O-Oh, well. It's still fortunate t-that there was some old books that documented such f-flora." She says, before smiling curiously at the mention of plant names. "That s-sounds very pleasing. I hope you c-can tell me more about those plant names. It's rather fascinating to learn that s-some names were in old ponish." She giggled at Jade's pun, before smirking at his other remark. "Oh, r-really? I g-guess that I'll have to keep that in mind. I-Is there anything special that I s-should be on the lookout for, my dear f-friend?" She asks, noticing a ice ring out of the corner of her eye. "Oh! I-I have an idea. Would you p-perhaps like to go ice skating with me? It looks like fun and I haven't gone skating in a long time."

Sunlight:
"As far as I'm aware, there isn't any specific kind."
Sunlight just closed her eyes and nodded slowly, it was clear she didn't like the idea, but like she had promised, she wasn't going to argue against it. "I guess we'll better start moving then, faster it's done the better."

Jade:
Jade just nodded, he didn't really care that the plants were gone, since that was to be expected considering how much climate can change in over thousand years, but for sake of learning new, it indeed was nice that they had been documented. "Maybe at some point." he promised, getting an idea regarding it. He grinned "Nothing really, it wouldn't be unexpected if you knew to expect it now would it." He chuckled.
"Sure, I haven't skated for a while either, so it could get interesting."

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo nodded with a smile at the choice in music. "That's good to know. I'm honestly more for anime music." He chuckled at his joke, before continuing. "In all honesty, it's more alternative rock, Japonies alternative rock, some metal and some dubstep." He slowly nodded as he knew this had to be done. "You're right. The sooner we find out what's going on, the faster we can overcome this." He says as the two started making their way towards the mall exit. "Do you know if there's an arcade around here? If not, then should we head back and ask the Golden and the others? Maybe we all go with strength in numbers, or something like that." 

Dew Drop:
Dew's eyes beamed in excitement at the potential promise. "S-So, if this library is available to visit, then we c-can go visit together? I-I'm holding you to your p-promise on that one Jade." She giggled as she listened to his remark. "A-Always expect the unexpected. H-However, I can't say the same about you. I-It seems like you're starting to know m-me well, but t-then you change it up a-at the blink of an eye." She giggled once more at how sweet and funny he was being. She had wondered how long it had been since she had a good laugh. She smiled brightly, yet shyly at his agreement to go ice skating with her. She nods as she began to finish the carrot dog she ordered. "O-Okay. I hope you c-can catch me if I start to fall. If not, t-then at least we'll have s-something to laugh about." She says, taking Jade's hoof into her own hoof without thinking, before she started to fly over to the ice rink.

Sunlight:
Sunlight smiled at the music comments, "I don't really have any specific favorites either."

"There's one not far from here, I have never been there but I know it exists." Sunlight replied "And if you feel like it would be good to get my friends to be there too when we do it, we can get them. It's again something you need to decide, because i have no business in deciding what you are comfortable with." she continued, tone filled with worry and reason.

Jade:
"If it will be available for visit, it may be that it will be never opened for public, because it wasn't still fully dug out, thus nopony knows what they find from there." "But I still remember the names myself, so I don't need the library to fulfill my promise."
Jade pointed out, he chuckled at Dew's response to his remark. "I probably won't try to catch you, don't want to bring you down with me." he chuckled. He looked a bit surprised when Dew took his hoof on hers, but he didn't pull away or otherwise react, he didn't mind it.

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo smiled at Sunlight's remark with a nod. "That's good to know. You never know when I'll randomly break out into song. I think that was how I met both you and Jade. I sang a song from a video game and I was there. Granted, I tripped as I wasn't watching where I was going, but still." He chuckled, shaking his head at the silly memory.

Dynamo nodded slowly as Sunlight had mentioned of a nearby arcade. "I had a feeling there would be. Seeing how the arcade here isn't up and running yet. That, and there should be some arcades around around Manehatten. Nobody would want to have an overcrowded place that you won't be able to get anywhere." He says, nodding once more with a puzzled expression upon his face. "I feel as though it'd be better to ask them. I don't know if an arcade is something they'd like to go to. Not only that, but they might be busy with anything they have planned." He sighed as he wasn't sure about facing this fear, but he knew one thing was certain. "I'm worried, but I know I have to do this. The reason is the arcade back home. I have a job there, while I have this situation. If I work there and I either have a flashback or fear, then I can't help other ponies with questions or concerns. Button wouldn't even want me to work there if I'm having this sort of trouble. So, it's better to take care of these flashbacks sooner than later." He says, noticing the tone of worry and concern in her voice.

Dew Drop:
At the mention of the library possibly not being open to the public, Dew's ears fell. She frowned as she might not be able to find the plant books from back in the day. "I-I guess it can't be helped." She shrugged her shoulders, before continuing. "It might be d-dangerous to go into a library, while other's are still d-digging the place up. Plus, y-you never know what you might f-find from there. So, I can s-see why the library is off limits." She sighed softly as she nodded in understanding. At the mention of the promise still being fulfilled, Dew quickly turned back to Jade with a soft smile. "T-Thank you. It's r-really nice of you to help out, Jade. Y-You really are a great friend, you know that? I h-hope I can be unexpected in p-paying you back for this help." She smirked and giggled as she remembered his earlier comment. 

As they flew, Dew had soon began to realize that she and Jade were holding hooves as they flew. She blushed and yelped as she quickly took her hoof back. She frowned briefly as it felt nice for him and her to hold hooves. She soon smiled and giggled once more at his remark. "If I f-fell down with you, then I h-hope that you can still catch me. Maybe we can relearn h-how to skate together." She says, noticing the ice rink was within their sights. She soon began to descend towards their destination.

Sunlight:

Sunlight chuckled.
"I'll guess we should turn around to go and ask them then." she said, as she understood from Dynamo's words to mean that. Sunlight nodded "Exactly, neither of us likes to do it, but because of how big part games play in your life, it's unavoidable."

Jade:
Jade just nodded, he didn't like that Dew seemed a bit down about it, but he couldn't change the facts so he didn't say anything. "That's what friends are for." he said with a smile.
He turned her eyes towards Dew and looked bit surprised when she yelped and pulled her hoof away, but seeing she had also blushed, he chuckled quietly as he gave him an amused smile. He chuckled at he comment "I hope neither of us falls over, but yes, maybe"

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo chuckled along with Sunlight and nodded at the plan. "I guess we shall. Although, I say we should make this a bit interesting." He says, smirking playfully, before continuing. "I bet you a kiss that the others are still at the clothing store. Want to make the same bet, or do you have an even more interesting wager?" He asks, nodding in understanding to her remark. "I guess it really is unavoidable. Plus, putting this problem off until later won't solve anything. It would only add on more anxiety and hesitation. Also, I wouldn't say that games are a big part of my life. True, they are important, but so are you. You're also a big part of my life, Sunny."

Dew Drop:
Dew's ears suddenly perked at Jade's statement. She turned back and smiled softly. "You're right. That's what t-true friends are for. Thanks for being my friend, Jade. I c-couldn't ask for anyone better." She says, turning back as they had landed at the ice rink. She soon began to walk up to the entrance and opened the door. "I used to have old ice skates when I-I was younger, but they don't fit me anymore. T-That, and I forgot my s-scarf at home." She stuck her tongue out and giggled as she felt she had forgotten something. "Oh, well. I do know that they sell ice skates and scarves here. So, at least we won't have to worry about being cold." She mentioned, walking up to the front desk to talk to the clerk. She giggled once more and nodded, before continuing. "Maybe, we s-should try and remember how to s-skate. After that, w-we can try to skate together. Like those f-figure skater's you see on TV. " She smiles, imagining herself and Jade acting like professional figure skaters.

Sunlight:
"Isn't that a rather boring bet? We know they will be there or at least nearby, and you would get a kiss regardless if you asked." Sunlight said with a chuckle "But sure, I make the same bet, but with them being just outside the shop."
She nodded "But don't downplay the importance of other things because of me, they are your talent, dream and job, I'd call that pretty big part. It's the same with me and information, I may see you as the most important thing at the moment, but it doesn't mean I can't recognize that learning and reading have huge part in my life."

Jade:
"I have never actually even owned ice skates, because I have skated so few times that it has been more useful to just rent a set from the rink." 
Jade admitted as he made his way to the desk with Dew "Though I could use a scarf too, as I too forgot mine..or well, didn't forget, I just didn't expect that I would need one." He necessary didn't, since he was rather tolerant of cold, but he didn't want to seem unusual. He smiled at the image "For me it's more learning than just remembering, because though I have done it before, I never became good at it necessarily, just okay." It was true, he may had had all knowledge about ice-skating one can possible have, but knowledge didn't equal skill, and as somepony who preferred keeping his hooves in the air, he hadn't really practiced.

Dynamo Pad:
Dynamo gave Sunlight a fake glare, while pouting at her. "I know, but I couldn't think of a good bet at the time. That, and I'm not much of a betting pony." He says, shaking his head as he chuckled. "Okay, then. I'm betting that the others are still shopping in the store, while you bet that they are outside the store. Time to find out who's taking home bragging right and a free prize." He says, nodding in agreement to her statement. "Oh, I know. There are a lot of things that have and are still a big part of my life. Video games, my talent, dream, job, you and my other friends are all equal. When it comes to terms of what's important in my life, that is." He smiled softly as she said he was a big part of her life, but knew that her talents weren't regarded as less. "That's true and you're right. I know I have a situation right now, but video games will always be a big important part of who I am." He says with an affirmative nod.

Dew Drop:
Dew nodded at Jade's remark, while she began to place her order for ice skates and a scarf. "That makes sense. Y-You'd have to make sure that you don't o-putgrow your old ice skates. Not only that, you w-would probably have to make sure the steel d-doesn't become dull or broken." She noted as she handed the bits over for the price of the rental scarf and skates. She giggled at Jade's comment about a scarf and nods. "W-Well, you probably didn't think we'd hang out and skate. S-Sometimes, it's better to be s-safe than sorry. Other times, i-it's always better to improvise." Dew was then given her rental items: 4 ice skates and a dark and light green pattern scarf. "I can see w-what you mean. My m-mom and dad once told me that y-you can use your wings to skate. O-Once you outstretch your wings, t-they can help you glide and steer." She says, turning to her friend, while giving him a kind look. "D-Don't worry because it's the s-same for me. I don't t-think I'm that good at skating, but I-I'd say I'm decent." She says, waiting patiently as Jade was getting his belongings to skate.

Sunlight:
Sunlight chuckled again, not having anything to add yet again, and though she enjoyed the joking around, it didn't really have the same effect as usually because of the worry about Dynamo haunting her mind. She again just smiled as a response. "We'll better start moving then, faster this is over the better." she then started making her way towards the clothing shop again. 

Jade:
Jade nodded in agreement and started doing the thing with another clerk that had came to the desk "I didn't think I would need a scarf in middle of summer at all, I honestly didn't even register that skating was a thing that I could end up doing in any context." he explained as he did his payment, and unlike dew, he bought a scarf instead of just renting it, and it was solid green, the same shade as his coat. "I usually end up accidentally flying when using my wings like that." he said chuckling as he joined Dew.
