You woke up in bed and looked to your left while holding Rainbow Dash who was still asleep and smiling in her sleep as you held her.

(Y/N): ** As abrasive as she can be at times, she can be quite adorable during the others.

You then got an idea as you slowly unfurled Rainbow's arms from around yourself as you quietly stepped out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. Moments later, you had prepared some breakfast for you and Dashie. Speaking of said rainbow-haired girl, she came downstairs while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

Rainbow Dash: Ugh. What time is it?

(Y/N): About ten in the morning or so.

Rainbow Dash: Oh...

(Y/N): So, how'd you sleep?

Rainbow Dash: Heh, really good since you were there.

(Y/N): And it was my pleasure to do so. Here, I made you breakfast.

She sat down at the table as you put her breakfast in front of her.

Rainbow Dash: Looks delicious, Y/N babe. Thanks.

(Y/N): With pleasure, Dashie.

She began to chow down on the breakfast you made her as you couldn't help but smile. It wasn't long before she finished as a loud belch escaped her mouth.

(Y/N): Geez, you could at least say "excuse me".

Rainbow Dash: Ugh. You're starting to sound like Rarity, Y/N.

(Y/N): ** Well, there are times where I have to.

Rainbow Dash; Whateves. So, you're taking Sci-Twi out today?

(Y/N): Yep. Shadow told me that I'm the first boyfriend she's ever had, so I intend to be the best towards her.

Rainbow Dash: Heh, when are you not the best?

(Y/N): Since never.

You both chuckled as you were done making your own breakfast as you sat down with Dashie at the table. Meanwhile, at Sci-Twi's house, she was getting ready for her date with you and called Shadow over to help give her a hand. At the moment she was just about done fixing her hair while looking in a mirror.

Sci-Twi: Oh, I'm so excited for my uh..."hangout" with Y/N!

Shadow Moonlight: You still refuse to call it a date even though you're both already together?

Sci-Twi: Tomato, tomahto, Shadow. Now, ask me how we're going to do it! Go on, ask!

Shadow Moonlight: ** How are you gonna do it?

Sci-Twi: First, we're gonna peruse the exhibit on gravitational fields for thirteen minutes. Then, we'll marvel at the vastness of the universe during the planetarium show. And finally, we'll enjoy cups of hot cocoa and casual conversation as we spot constellations in the night sky.

Shadow Moonlight: Sounds like you've really had a lot of time on your hands, Twi. Though, you're sure it isn't too much for one "hangout"? I mean, knowing Y/N, he's flexible with just about anything so he won't mind but still.

Sci-Twi: No! It's all going to go exactly as I planned! Perfect, that is!

Shadow Moonlight: If you say so. I wouldn't be that presumptuous but then again, you seem to know what you're doing.

Sci-Twi: Of course! This'll be our first da-"hangout" together! Everything has to be and will be perfect just like he is!

Shadow Moonlight: Listen, Y/N isn't a bad guy but you think you may be relying too much on this relationship for your happiness?

Sci-Twi: What do you mean?

Shadow Moonlight: Well, it's not likely but there is a chance that something could happen between him and you and this is technically your first relationship, isn't it? I know high school relationships don't last but I don't want you to be heartbroken over him nor would Shiny. Heck, I'd think he might hunt Y/N down if something like that ever happened. But back to what I was saying, you're sharing him with a bunch of other girls and stuff like that isn't really recommended for people who are amatures when it comes to relationships.

Sci-Twi: Of course not. I mean, they aren't just any girls, Shadow. They're all my friends so nobody would get jealous and I get along with Y/N just fine so I don't see any reason why I should doubt him.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm not saying that you should doubt him. I'm just saying that if there's a worse case scenario in which something does happen, I don't want you to be destroyed by it.

Sci-Twi: ** You're probably right. It's just that...Y/N has been the only guy I've ever had feelings for and he's the only guy who's ever had feelings for me. I don't think I could ever find myself in another relationship if anything went wrong with us.

Shadow Moonlight: Don't be ridiculous, of course you could. In fact, there were loads of guys that would've loved to be your boyfriend at CPA.

Sci-Twi: ** Oh come on!

Shadow Moonlight: I'm serious, Twi.

Sci-Twi: And how would you know that?

Shadow smiled warmly as he looked up at her before continuing.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm one of them.

Sci-Twi froze as she stared at him wide-eyed.

Sci-Twi: Wh-What?

Shadow Moonlight: You reminded me so much of my former crush. That was some part of the reason why I became friends with you in the first place and with how well you excelled in every subject along with your tutoring that helped me boost my grades...

Shadow pauses to shrug.

Shadow Moonlight: ...well, it becomes hard not to get impressed.

Sci-Twi: Shadow...I don't know what to say. You understand that I don't feel the same way about you, right?

Shadow Moonlight: I know and I've already moved past that. My feelings died down way long ago after I came to accept that you're not Moondancer.

Sci-Twi: Wait, Moondancer is your former crush?

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah and she was a lot like you. The only thing that was different was your skin, eyes, and hair. You would've really liked her.

The intelligent bookworm's eyes shot open at hearing that name before a look of guilt made itself apparent on her face.

Sci-Twi: Shadow, she and I were childhood friends.

Shadow returned her expression with his own look of shock.

Shadow Moonlight: Wait, what?!

Sci-Twi: Yeah, she and I always used to study together and help each other out back in kindergarten and then I had to leave to go to a high-class junior high kind of like Crystal Prep. I didn't even say goodbye to her.

Shadow Moonlight: Y-You were that friend who abandoned her?!

Sci-Twi: I guess you could say that.

Shadow Moonlight: Wow...you have a lot more in common with Y/N than I thought but I'm not going to hate you for that. I'm done with that toxic mindset of looking at my former friends with resentment. But, I guess that's what made me like Moondancer to begin with. She was the only one who could sympathize with me. Anyway, as long as you're both happy, I don't see a problem with it.

Sci-Twi: Trust me, Shadow. Y/N makes me very happy.

Shadow Moonlight: In that case, I'll believe you. So... did you tell your family that you were in a harem yet?

Sci-Twi: Yeah but they weren't really too fond of the idea at first. I mean, sharing a guy with a bunch of other girls could lead to jealousy issues like you said earlier but I was able to convince them that I was okay with it.

Shadow Moonlight: Even... Shiny? He's overly protective of you sometimes Twi, how'd you manage to convince him?

Sci-Twi: Through... lots and lots of begging. Hehehe.

She laughed nervously while rubbing the back of her neck.

Shadow Moonlight: I can't blame him though, I'd do the same for Sunny.

Sci-Twi: I'm sure you would. Okay, I've gotta get going now. I'll see you another time, Shadow.

Shadow Moonlight: Alright, Twi. Good luck on your date.

With that, Sci-Twi gives him a nod before she grabbed her things and walked out of her bedroom. After the door closed, Shadow pulled out his phone to call Sunny Flare.

Sunny Flare (Over Phone): Shadow? Hey, what do you need?

Shadow Moonlight: Could you have everyone meet in the living room? I'm kinda in a good mood to do something.

Sunny Flare (Over Phone): Very well. I'll meet you there.

Shadow Moonlight: Thanks, sis. Love you.

Sunny Flare (Over Phone): Love you too, bro.

He hung up as he left Sci-Twi's room. Back with you and Rainbow Dash, you were done with your breakfast as you were now dressed in your casual outfit.

(Y/N): I hope you enjoyed your breakfast, Dashie.

Rainbow Dash: Sure did, Y/N. Have fun today with Sci-Twi.

(Y/N): Will do. Love you, Dashie.

Rainbow Dash: Heh, love you too, stud.

She pecked your lips before walking out the front door and speeding off towards her home as you left the house yourself and locked the door. After several minutes of walking, you made it to the planetarium and saw Sci-Twi standing out the front as she noticed you and smiled.

Sci-Twi: Hey, Y/N! Wanna go inside and see the gravity exhibit? It's really pulling me in!

(Y/N): Uh... ** On account of the gravitational pull?

Sci-Twi:** Ugh.

(Y/N): ** Man, he was right about her being new to this. She's really trying here. Well, I think we should just let gravity do its thing and pull us in, right?

Sci-Twi: R-Right! **

You then put a hand on her cheek and made her look at you.

(Y/N): Twi, listen, I know that you're probably really nervous right now, but you're not alone here. I'm a little nervous too. We shouldn't let that ruin our evening though. So, let's just... enjoy ourselves. Okay?

Sci-Twi: O-Of course, Y/N. I just...really want this to go well.

You then put your hands on her waist and put your forehead against hers.

(Y/N): And I'm sure it will. Just... go with the flow and have fun. Can you do that for me?

Sci-Twi: G-Go with the flow? B-But I have it all planned out! Why would we need to go with the flow?

(Y/N): Just in case something goes wrong.

Sci-Twi: I-I... I guess we can do that, but I just have all these plans for us though. I'd hate for them to be ruined under unfortunate circumstances.

(Y/N): Then we'll face whatever they are... together.

You pecked her lips which brought a blush and smile to her face.

Sci-Twi: ** Okay... I'll trust you.

(Y/N): Good. Now, let's go inside, shall we?

You held your arm out for her as she smiled and wrapped hers around it before the two of you walked inside. The two of you explored the observatory until you came across a statue of an older man wearing wizard robes.

Sci-Twi: But it says the exhibit should be right here, next to the statue of Star Swirl.

(Y/N): Maybe it got sucked into a... black hole?

You smirked at her as you both chuckled at that before Sci-Twi gasped.

Sci-Twi: Oh, no! The planetarium show's about to start!

She grabbed your hand and pulled you along to where the show was said to start only to be met with one of the museum employees putting away the model planets.

Museum Employee: All shows are cancelled for the rest of the day.

Sci-Twi: Ohhh...

She moaned to herself sadly as you went over and brought her into a one armed hug.

(Y/N): Hey, that's okay, Sci-Twi. It's not the end of the world.

Sci-Twi: ** The telescope! Come on!

She pulled you along again only to find that the telescope was also shut down due to the sky being overcast. You and her sat down with some hot cocoa in your hands. You both took a sip but didn't realize how hot the cocoa was as you accidentally burned your tongues. Due to her burning her tongue, Sci-Twi stuck her tongue out while trying to cool it down.

(Y/N): Ow! Hot!

Sci-Twi: Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot! Ow! Ohhh... I'm tho thorry, Y/N. Nothing's gone ath planned. We got lotht, the show wath canthelled, we burned our tongueth, and now the thky's too overcatht to thpot a thingle thtar! ** And I wath really hoping to impreth you.

She placed her head in her hands and stared off into space with a disappointed look.

(Y/N): Hey, come on now, Sci-Twi. I can tell you at least one positive thing that came from today. Do you wanna know what that is?

She looks at you from the corner of her eye.

Sci-Twi: ** What?

(Y/N): Getting to spend the day with you.

Her eyes widened a bit before turning her full attention to you.

Sci-Twi: Huh?

(Y/N): Sci-Twi, if there's one thing I've learned when it comes to spending time with either your friends, family, or significant other, is that it doesn't really matter where you're going or what you're doing. The only thing that really matters is... being there with them and enjoying their presence. Believe me, there were plenty of times when things went wrong when I went on dates with the others.

You scooted closer to her.

(Y/N): So, yeah, it sucks that the observatory's main attractions were shut down, but I think we should really focus on each other. Well, that's at least how I figure.

Sci-Twi started to take your words into account before a small smile overcame her lips.

Sci-Twi: You're... you're right, Y/N. I guess it doesn't really matter what we do as long as we do it together.

She then looked off to the side once more.

Sci-Twi: Still... it would have been nice to see the constellations at least.

You started thinking after she said that until an idea bulb came over your head.

(Y/N): Maybe we still can.

Sci-Twi: What?

You stood up and brought your hands together. You closed your eyes and started to focus as your (F/C) magical aura shined from your palms. Then, you threw your arms out as several tiny orbs of light shot out and formed themselves into the shapes of the many constellations in the night sky high above you two. Sci-Twi stood up with shocked eyes and a slacked jaw at the current light show being presented to her.

(Y/N): Now, it may not be one hundred percent accurate, but I hope this makes up fo-

You were interrupted by Sci-Twi throwing her arms around your neck and pulling you into a long, deep kiss. You were shocked at her sudden movement but quickly returned the kiss. Although, it didn't take long before Sci-Twi realized what she did as she quickly pulled away from you as a heavy blush formed on her face.

Sci-Twi: O-Oh! I'm so sorry, Y/N! I-I didn't mean to kiss you without asking! It just slipped out of me!

You put your hands on both of her shoulders which made her freeze and look at you to see you sporting a grin.

(Y/N): It's fine, Sci-Twi. I didn't mind it in the slightest. It just told me that you really liked what I did for you.

Sci-Twi: So, you're not mad?

(Y/N): Mad? Why would I be mad? I get unexpectedly kissed 24/7 by the others. Don't be afraid to kiss me, Twi. Look, Shadow told me about you being new to romance so I understand you wanna play it safe but know that I would never get mad over something like this.

She stared and blinked at you a few times for another moment before she smiled widely.

Sci-Twi: Thank you, Y/N!

She wraps her arms around you before resting her head on your chest.

Sci-Twi: ** You're so warm...

(Y/N): Heh, that's a new one.

Sci-Twi: Y/N, can we stay like this for a little longer?

(Y/N): I was just about to ask the same thing myself.

You chuckle as you return the hug and run your fingers through her ponytail.

(Y/N): Have I ever told you how pretty your hair looks, Twi?

Sci-Twi: Maybe once...but I'm happy you still think so.

(Y/N): Heh, you look beautiful no matter what.

Sci-Twi: ~Oh you.

She gives you a peck on the lips before returning her head back to your chest. You held each other close as the chilly air seemingly had no effect on the both of you.

Sci-Twi: ** He's truly a sight for sore eyes. So lucky I get to have him. Maybe not to myself but it's better than nothing.

(Y/N): Hey, Twi? Could I ask you something?

Sci-Twi: Sure. What is it?

(Y/N): How has Shadow been?

Sci-Twi: Um, he seems fine, why?

(Y/N): Well, yesterday I saw him in the most depressed state I've ever seen him in. He almost looked like he was gonna "leave" like he said he would at the Friendship Games. I just want to know how he's holding up.

Sci-Twi: Well, I don't know what you saw but Shadow seemed in a really good mood when he came over to help me prepare for our..."hangout". So I don't think he'll be doing anything drastic.

(Y/N): Oh good. I didn't want to lose him again. Anyway, since everything went wrong today, why don't we start this whole thing over? This time, we won't plan anything and just go with the flow. That way, we won't be disappointed.

Sci-Twi: What do you mean?

(Y/N): Well, if there isn't anything to expect, you won't be disappointed. When I went on dates with Sunset, Pinkie, and Rainbow, we didn't plan anything. Everything we did was all last-minute or improvised. Don't get me wrong, I still admire your effort to make this night perfect but...I think we're better off without a plan.

Sci-Twi: So, we just... do whatever intrigues us?

(Y/N): Pretty much, yes.

Sci-Twi: Well...I guess we can do that.

(Y/N): Come on, I think I know where to go first.

You grabbed her hand and led her away. Meanwhile, Hollow Moonshine was watching from nearby as his face was a mixture of disgust and annoyance.

Hollow Moonshine: Ugh. What a waste of time. He's so incompetent that he couldn't even pick a girlfriend. He's such a yes man. No wonder V/N has something against him and now my predecessor has grown softer. Well good, it just means I get to be angrier all the time which I'm sure will boost my strength and morale. Still, even though he's our enemy, I can't help but be angry at the way he's become. It's like Y/N brainwashed him into becoming a weak idiot. Well, nothing interesting to report yet. Might as well head back.

He said before opening his own rift and entering the void but as he entered, he heard a voice come from behind him.

???: I know you've been stalking us.

Hearing that made him turn around in shock only to find Shadowlight standing there with his arms crossed.

Hollow Moonshine: What the-? How did you get in here?!

Shadowlight: This place isn't any different from the mind realm V/N was trapped in.

Hollow Moonshine: That still doesn't answer my question!

Shadowlight:And you're supposed to be his right hand man? I'm not the real Shadow. I'm the magical form that he created.

Hollow Moonshine: You mean the one that fought with my lord?

Shadowlight: Oh, so now he's your god? ** Where's your priest outfit?

Hollow Moonshine: Don't you DARE mock Lord V/N! He was able to best you the first time you fought!

Shadowlight: Because I didn't even try. I was bored so I thought I'd play with him a little. I'm sure he's already figured that out by now.

Hollow Moonshine: You played him?! Grrrr! I'll have your head if it's the last thing I do!

Shadowlight: I wouldn't do that. If you die here, you die in real life. On the other hand, I can come back from death as many times as I want here.

???: Not unless your pendant is destroyed.

Shadowlight turned and saw V/N standing there with a stern look.
