"I'm not really into anything really fancy-schmancy" "Oh come on Applejack, if there was ever a time to celebrate anything, it'd be now, don't you think?" >"Maybe, what about the girls, you think we should invite them too?" "Another time, tonight, just you and me though." >She smiles >"Oh, you charmer you. Okay." "Alright, you wanna head out around 7:30?" >"Sounds great. I really don't have anything to wear though." "I got you covered, don't worry." >I hit up Rarity >I asked her if she could get me a dress that suits Applejack. >"Ooooh, anon..." she said playfully. "Are you planning something special with Applejack?" "Maybe. But that's for us to know and Applejack to find out." >"Okay, so what do you want me to do?" "How bout you pick out the dress and then swing by Sweet Apple Acres around 6:30 to drop it off?" >"I think I can manage that." "Thanks rarity, you're the best." >"No problem, it'll even be on the house." >I think I just got diabetes. "Why are you so good to me Rarity?" >"You're my friend anon, it's what you do. And I think you're a great guy for her anon, don't mess this up." "Got it, thanks." >Man, these girls really were great friends >I'm glad I didn't move --- >Rarity comes by and drops off the dress, and I hide it in my bedroom >It looks great >I wait until 7, and then I go to knock on Applejack's door. "Applejack, I have a surprise for you." >She comes out wearing the dress she wore to the Fall Formal >"This is all I could find on short notice.." >I hold up the dress. "This, is for you, courtesy of Rarity." >Her eyes light up. >"Really? For.... me?" "Of course. This dress color doesn't suit me. It's sort of a winter, I'm more of an autumn" >"She grabs me in a tight hug. >Thank you Anon" "It's the least I can do" >And so we head out >I treat her to this great Italian place downtown >It's a little pricey, but I don't care >After that, I take her walking down the boardwalk >We just have a good old time, riding the rides, looking out at the beach, and just being together >She pulls me in close and kisses me. >"Thanks anon" "No problem, glad you had fun." >"Not just for the date, but for being there for me." "No problem AJ." >Man, today was great >A few weeks later I find myself at work >I'm working on a phone call, and the person on the other end isn't too happy. >"I was sleeping in my home, and you have the nerve to call me and try to advertise shampoo?" "Sir, just calm down, I-" >And then he hangs up. >Whatever, I got a list of about 400 callers left >"Attention, everybody, we have a new employee starting today!" >He did this for everybody >Even me when I started working here >"Let me introduce you to Bradley, our newest operator." >In walks probably the best looking guy I've ever seen >Clean cut >Suave >And he looks like he's made of iron >Come on brain, what the crap? >I'm in a great relationship with Applejack, and now you decide that this new guy is the hottest thing around >"Bradley, you can sit at that empty cubicle right over there." >He points at the one directly to the left of mine, right across the hall. >He goes over and takes his place >"Alright everyone, back to work." >The boss then leaves. --- >Suddenly, Bradley looks over and smiles and waves at me. >"Hi" he says smoothly. "Hi" I respond casually >Great, now he's gonna be all friendly with me. >I just try to focus on my work. >Around lunch time, I take my seat at the break room table >As I'm eating, bradley walks in >"I don't think we've been properly introduced, my name's bradley." >Alright, just play it cool. Try to be friendly, maybe he's just trying to be polite "My name's anon." >"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" "No, go right ahead." >Aww man, that was stupid of me "So, you've decided to join us in the prestigous career of phone advertisement?" >He laughs >"Yeah, I quit my old job. I worked in a garage for a while but needed a change of pace." "Oh cool, you into cars?" >"Yeah, totally. What about you." "Love 'em. I had a '65 mustang a while back." >"Nice, why did you get rid of it." "Oh no, I didn't. I totaled it in an accident." >I showed him the scars on my arm and leg. "A bad one." >He winces >"So let me guess, you took up this job to pay for the massive hospital bills right?" "Sorta, I kinda had to give up everything I had and move in with somebody." >"I know that feel. My boyfriend kicked my out a little while ago so I've had to look for a new place." >Woah, hold up >Back it up >Did he say boyfriend? "Did you say boyfriend?" >"Yeah" he said slowly. "I'm gay. You're not like, homophobic or anything, right?" "Oh no, I'm actually gay too." >Man, why did I tell him that?
