open Ask any pony on a date!

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

Octavia laughed musically, and the orchestra looks over. They start whispering, and Octavia says in a humorous voice, "Well, Red, tonight we have a concert, but the day after I have off," she then winks at your fellow bassists, and says, "Oh, come now boys, perhaps if you had more courage youd have as much chance as Red." She returns her attention to you, about the date.

Red facehoofed, how could he have forgotten about their concert tonight?! "Right, well...in that case...do you have any plans for tomorrow night then?" Red shot a glare at his section for being such butts about this whole thing. He shot a telepathic message to all of them, will you guys go the buck away?!

[Half-Note 273]

 

 

She doesn't seem to notice your slip up, as she shouts, "Come on!" and bounces off towards the park. You, of course, follow, thankful she didn't just run away from you.

 

 

As we reach the fountain I sit down at a nearby bench and start making a random beat with my hooves. I go like that for a while before doing a series of random runs to go along with the beat. As I continue my "song" I look at Surprise and get caught up in her movements.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(OOC: You put the reply on the quote btw XD it's okay though I figured it out for like 2 minutes)

 

"Ohhh, board games, I've always liked these kinds of games, it makes me think sometimes. Wanna play a couple of rounds before the party starts? I'm a bit rusty anyways, so you'll probably beat me."

 

He waits for Pinkie to reply as he looks at the instructions of some of the games he usually played before

 

She nods excitedly, and with much vigor sets up three checker boards, and sets them side-by-side-by-side in front of them, "I call this extra-dextra-super-long-checkers! Are you ready? The rules are the sam, except you can jump from one board to another by going to that side of the board and you don't have to jump any checker you can. That rule's just silly."

Red shot a glare at his section for being such butts about this whole thing. He shot a telepathic message to all of them, will you guys go the buck away?!

 

Octavia puts a hoof on his shoulder and whispers in his ear, "Don't worry about them. Watch them, I beit it won't be me their looking at when I walk back to my chair," she straightened, and addressed his question, "As a mater of fact, I do. This stallion, his name is Red, he invited me to a nice little dinner. Nothing to fancy, and of course I'm buying, but he's kinda cute," she winked at him.

Suprise looks at you quizzically, then plays by herself for a bit. You get distracted, and suddenly you get splashed by a wingfull of water, "Come on in, the water's fine!"

[Glitch 26]

She moaned, "Now I'm derping your feelings! No, go away! Go away before you hate me like everypony else. I don't want to hurt you," she zipped into the Everfree, and lands on a tree. Just her luck, the tree is rotten in the center and splits, knocking over other trees, and high-pitched crying can now be heard from the Everfree. Thus begins the legend of the Wailing Tree.

 

"Darnit, Glitch," the unicorn thought to himself, "why must you be so sappy?" He shook his head and took off towards the Everfree, crying out, "Derpy! Derpy!" all the way there, ignoring the jeers of ponies who thought he was an idiot for going into the forest for a klutz like her. He raced into the Everfree, following the trail of felled trees left by his crush. After a few minutes of running, he found Derpy lying down on a toppled tree trunk, crying. Glitch frowned. It broke his heart to see her like this. He then sighed, thinking of all the times he had seen and talked to Derpy and putting a sincere smile on. He walked up to Derpy, placing a hoof on her shoulder.

 

"Derpy," he said, "from the moment I met you, I thought you were amazing. The way you spoke, the cheerful way you carried yourself, the way your eyes went in different directions, I loved it. I saw the way ponies treated you and thought, Why doesn't anypony do something? She doesn't deserve that! It hurt to see you running off and crying, it really did. Even my friends made fun of me for liking you. But I l... l..." Glitch paused, trying to spit it out, "...loved you nonetheless. So please, don't think that the world hates you. Because I don't."

This stallion, his name is Red, he invited me to a nice little dinner. Nothing to fancy, and of course I'm buying, but he's kinda cute," she winked at him.

Red muttered to her, "Thank you......" then back in his normal voice he told her, "So, what time should I come get you at? And....um......where exactly?" Red realized her had absolutely no idea where Octavia lived, kinda of an important detail to have when one wants to take a mare out somewhere.

[Half-Note 273]

 

 

Suprise looks at you quizzically, then plays by herself for a bit. You get distracted, and suddenly you get splashed by a wingfull of water, "Come on in, the water's fine!"

 

"Oh, sorry. Sometimes I get caught up in my music," I tell her as I get off of the bench. "As for that water," I continue as I start running toward the fountain. ."CANONBALL!!!" I yell as I jump and then land with a large splash next to her then grab her and dunk her in the water.

[Penguin 34]

She nods excitedly, and with much vigor sets up three checker boards, and sets them side-by-side-by-side in front of them, "I call this extra-dextra-super-long-checkers! Are you ready?

He doesn't he get how to play it, so he just winged it. Of course after the game Pinkie won cos he didn't really know what he was doing. After putting back the boards and pieces in their respective containers, he asks Pinkie, "So, any other board game you wanna play?"

 

He waits a reply from Pinkie while he goes off and looks at the other games.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Derpy sniffles, her tears drying a little, and she manages a small, sad smile, "R-r-really? That's probably *Sniffle* the nicest thing anypony has ever said to me. Even better than that one time in flight school when Rainbow Dash gave me her sandwich And I didn't accidently break the table afterwards!" She smiled, and stood, but in doing so, her hoof fell through the tree and she cried out in pain.

 

 

Red muttered to her, "Thank you......" then back in his normal voice he told her, "So, what time should I come get you at? And....um......where exactly?" Red realized her had absolutely no idea where Octavia lived, kinda of an important detail to have when one wants to take a mare out somewhere.

 

She smiled, and took out the pencil she always carried during rehesal, because she is a good concert cellist who does write on her music. She took out a slip of paper, a corner of old music, yellowed a bit with age, and writes her address, giving it to him. "How does six sound?"

 

"Oh, sorry. Sometimes I get caught up in my music," I tell her as I get off of the bench. "As for that water," I continue as I start running toward the fountain. ."CANONBALL!!!" I yell as I jump and then land with a large splash next to her then grab her and dunk her in the water.

 

She squeeled, as he dunked her, comming up trying to couph and giggle at the same time. She tackles him, splashing some nearby walkers, who protest, until they see suprise. Then they role their eyes and walk on.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

(I want you to sign my forhead, The Vinyl.)

She smiles, "We should catch up. It's been a while. And I'm sure your doing some interesting things to be getting such a... a mass," she giggles again, almost flirtatiously.

 

((*Sign* Sorry for not responding for a while. I'm playing Forza right now))

 

"Eh, you know, a little work for Celestia and Luna definitely builds some muscle. So did you have any ideas for what you wanted to do? Maybe get some coffee or tea?" Vinyl was a bit more comfortable now and it showed

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He doesn't he get how to play it, so he just winged it. Of course after the game Pinkie won, cos he didn't really know what he was doing. After putting back the boards and pieces in their respective containers, he asks Pinkie, "So, any other board game you wanna play?"

 

He waits a reply from Pinkie while he goes off and looks at the other games.

 

"How about, this time YOU pick the game. I'm sure whatever game you pick will be just as awesome as a cupcake," she says, smiling, as her eyes shot open. "Cupcakes!" she zips to the stove and takes the cupcakes out. They were perfect, and she sighed, glad her left hind-leg itch had told her that they would burn.

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

She smiled, and took out the pencil she always carried during rehesal, because she is a good concert cellist who does write on her music. She took out a slip of paper, a corner of old music, yellowed a bit with age, and writes her address, giving it to him. "How does six sound?"

"Sounds good to me!" Red took the note from her and put it in his binder. "I'm not going to let you buy though" He said with a wink. "I offered to take you, so I will take care of the expenses, alright?" Red leaned in and gave her a hug, hoping to Celestia that Octavia wouldn't shove him away and say that is was all just a cruel joke

"Some tea would be nice," she agreed, and they walked together, chatting about pointless gossip in Canterlot. They eventually come across a tea shop, and a suspicious white pony, wearing a brown paper sack on his head, walked out. His eye-holes showed that his eyes were green, and he moved quickly. As he passed, the cutiemark on his flank was clearly visible, and it was obviously Dawnpath.

How did she even get that kind of .... sense? He wondered. After some thinking, he got the courage to actually ask her, "Hey Pinkie, out of curiosity, how did you get that kind of ... sense?" He really just wondered.

 

He waits for a reply from Pinkie while he takes another board game (Chess? XD) from the pile of boxes in the corner.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Red leaned in and gave her a hug, hoping to Celestia that Octavia wouldn't shove him away and say that is was all just a cruel joke

 

She made a big show to the bass section of hugging him back, then drew back a bit and kissed him, passionately. When she broke, she winked at him, "Vinyl Scratch taught me that," she whispered, "Have fun with your band of, ehem, gentlecolts." She retook her seat.

(Oh, good, one I know how to play)

 

She smiled, "Why my Pinkie Sense of course! t drives Twilight absolutely crazy-wazy that she can't explain it, but I can't tell the future, in the really short term." Her tail twitched, an sh screamed, "Look out!" and tackled him. A pan that had fallen off the shelf clattered to the floor, "Phew, close one," she says, laying on top of you for a bit.

[Half-Note 273]

 

She squeeled, as he dunked her, comming up trying to couph and giggle at the same time. She tackles him, splashing some nearby walkers, who protest, until they see suprise. Then they role their eyes and walk on.

 

I laugh underwater as she tackles me and grab her in a hug before coming up. "Who knew property damage was this fun?" I say with a chuckle before I realize that I'm hugging her and back away slowly. "You know you're probably the most fun pony I've met in my entire life," I tell her as I get out of the fountain and shake myself dry. "Now why don't we head off and see if we can get to the party early?" I ask her as I hold out my hoof.

Vinyl notices the stallion and his cutie mark. She walks up to him with a smile plastered on her face and takes the bag off of his head. "And there's the lucky groom, himself. How're you doing, Dawn? You ready to get married? I bet AJ's excited, I know I am. Oh, where are my manners? Fleur this is Dawnpath. Dawn, Fleur."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She bounces, "Really?Canwedothat? Canwegotoapartyearly?Isitstillaparty,oristhatlike... agathering?" she says, so fast it's hard to understand. You can tell by the quickness of her speech and the spring in her bounce that she is excited for the party and flattered by your compliment. "Doyouthinktheir'llbecake? Andcookies?

Red stood there for a moment, not fully grasping what just happened. Then reality hit: he had just been kissed, on the lips no less, by Octavia! He felt his legs go limp and his head collide with the floor.(that's right everypony Red just fainted from a kiss)

[Penguin 34]

(Oh, good, one I know how to play) She smiled, "Why my Pinkie Sense of course!

He looks up to see the pan that was gonna fall onto his face, til Pinkie tackled him away. He closes his eyes for a while and opens them to see Pinkie on top of him, he says blushing "Oh my, thank you Pinkie, that Pinkie sense must really come in handy." He gets up on his hooves again and says, "Is there anyway I can repay you for that little save?"

 

He waits for a reply from Pinkie while he puts the pan on the counter.

(^Post above)

You ready to get married? I bet AJ's excited, I know I am. Oh, where are my manners? Fleur this is Dawnpath. Dawn, Fleur."

 

Dawnpath moaned, "Is it really that easy? It always works in spy comics! Of course, it's also what Derpy does when she feels alone... Hi Fleur. I don't ussually wear bags on my head. Only when all of Ponyville decides to ask me about my wedding," he holds his head.

 

Fleur plasters a smile on her face, but it's clear she thinks he's weird. "You certainly are... interesting."

 

He sighs, "Ya... Hey, Vinyl, got any cool stories I can leach for ideas? I'm working on an adventure novel..."

 

Fleur squints at his cutiemark, "A writing... pegasus. How does he manage with hooves?" she muses aloud. Dawnpath grins, and he gets that look in his eyes.

 

He quickly grabs a quill with his oof, and puts the other in his mouth. blowing really hard, small, fingure-like apendages apeer and he grabs it. Fleur is a little bit, grossed out, but she understands now.

 

You, of course, knows he tapes a quill to his hoof. Silly Dawnpath.

[HigurSan 195]

Sand would think for a moment, puzzling over what story he should tell. Eventually, he took a seat and composed himself. As he started his narrative, he told it in solemn an hushed voice, one meant to arouse the curiousity and wonder in the listener's mind. "This will be told in a form I learned from my own father. He told me that his father had taught it to him an so on as far as anyone could remember. It is called Lapsing Memory, with different sections of the timeline told in such a way that past events explain future, and vice versa." Looking down at the table for a moment, choosing the words he would begin with.

 

"A tale I will tell, that of time long past. Their name was one, paired halves, one whole. Perhaps they never had a solid goal. For they were Noon and Night, their fates long cast. One Earth, one Heaven, both were good and kind. Like the fruit of the same branch and same tree. Their hearts were happy, their souls wild and free. Some said that they sometimes had the same mind. For these were the two destined twins, those ordained to be seperated by fate. In that time they were merry and they would realize the danger too late."

 

"One day Noon Heaven said to his sister Night Earth, 'Let us go play in the valley fields, where we can gallop and fly.' Noon Heaven was glad to do so and the went while the sun was still high. Their elders had told them that the valley was not to be trifled with. The pair simply ignored their warnings, and dismissed it all as myth. For a time, they ran and danced in the fields of grass. But when the sun began to set, their happiness was shattered like glass."

 

"The elders were right in their caution and care. In that valley dwelt beasts none ever wanted. Many told tales that the woods were haunted. In fool's haste the two shunned the 'Beware'. These same horrors found them and attacked. Night Earth was taken and took far away. Heaven Noon was scared, and fled 'til day. At dawn he searched 'til his bones ached. But his sister was gone, never for him to see forevermore. The one that he thought of all the time, the one he would adore."

 

"So this is the tale I tell, of two who would not listen. Those who were with themselves smitten. I tell this tale so that we might learn from their mistake. Listen to your elders closely, for you know not what you will face each time you wake."

[Half-Note 273]

She bounces, "Really?Canwedothat? Canwegotoapartyearly?Isitstillaparty,oristhatlike... agathering?" she says, so fast it's hard to understand.

Andmilk?Andpartystreamers? And*insert party rant*"

 

I quickly put a hoof to her lips to silence her. "I bet that there'll be that and possibly more. Now let's go, I want to make it before Pinkie get's too distracted by the rest of the guests to actually hang out with us, I just hope we don't interupt her on a date or something, that'd be weird." I say as I take her hoof and lead her to Sugarcube Corner. (or wherever the party is.)

Derpy sniffles, her tears drying a little, and she manages a small, sad smile, "R-r-really? That's probably *Sniffle* the nicest thing anypony has ever said to me. Even better than that one time in flight school when Rainbow Dash gave me her sandwich And I didn't accidently break the table afterwards!" She smiled, and stood, but in doing so, her hoof fell through the tree and she cried out in pain.

 

"Whoa!" Glitch exclaimed. He lifted Derpy's hoof out of the tree using his magic and observed her foreleg. A few cuts, but nothing serious.

 

"It's fine," he reassured her, "you'll live." Glitch then gently placed her hoof back down on the ground. Glitch then found himself looking into Derpy's wonderfully wonky eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Red stood there for a moment, not fully grasping what just happened. Then reality hit: he had just been kissed, on the lips no less, by Octavia! He felt his legs go limp and his head collide with the floor.(that's right everypony Red just fainted from a kiss)

 

Octavia looked back, and saw Red. On the floor. Fainted. She covered her mouth to stiffle a giggle as on of the bassists came and smacked up lightly awake, "Comeon lover boy, time to do the rehersing now." The rehersal goes great, and afterwards, you see Octavia packing up her cello.

He looks up to see the pan that was gonna fall onto his face, til Pinkie tackled him away. He closes his eyes for a while and opens them to see Pinkie on top of him, he says blushing "Oh my, thank you Pinkie, that Pinkie sense must really come in handy." He gets up on his hooves again and says, "Is there anyway I can repay you for that little save?"

 

He waits for a reply from Pinkie while he puts the pan on the counter.

 

(Well, since your asking, I need somepony to do my homework... xP)

 

She shrugged, "No need, I'd do it for almost anypony!' She smiles and sets up the Chess.

She smiled, and nodded, "A useful tail of forboding warning, useful for foals who wake in the mornings." She smiles at you, glad for the company.

 

I quickly put a hoof to her lips to silence her. "I bet that there'll be and that and possibly more. Now let's go, I want to make it before Pinkie get's too distracted by the rest of the guests to actually hang out with us, I just hope we don't interupt her on a date or something, that'd be weird." I say as I take her hoof and lead her to Sugarcube Corner. (or wherever the party is.)

 

The whole time your hoof is to her lips, her wings flutter as fast as they were moving, and when you uncover them, she resumes her spitfire talking, first affirming and justifying what you've said, then moving on to random things.

 

(I will answer the rest, and that will be last post for tonight.)

 

"Whoa!" Glitch exclaimed. He lifted Derpy's hoof out of the tree using his magic and observed her foreleg. A few cuts, but nothing serious.

 

"It's fine," he reassured her, "you'll live." Glitch then gently placed her hoof back down on the ground. Glitch then found himself looking into Derpy's wonderfully wonky eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.

 

She blushed, and her right eye looked down shyly as her left ey stared at you with wonder. This trait of hers made someponys think she had split-personality, but the truth was her feelings were complex. Sometimes to complex for her to understand. She hugs you, thanking you for not hating her.

[Penguin 34]

(Well, since your asking, I need somepony to do my homework... xP) She shrugged, "No need, I'd do it for almost anypony!' She smiles and sets up the Chess.

(Lol good luck with that )

 

"Oh okay well, lets play chess then" He says and smiles. They set up the chess board and starts playing some good old chess.

 

After a while, they hear a doorbell from the door. He wondered again, "Who could that be?"

 

He waits for Pinkie to react
