>You stand out in a field, pacing nervously.
>The barren field stares back at you, its green expanse appears almost endless.
>You look down at the blanket that you laid out, checking its contents for the fourth time in ten minutes.
>You and Dash had been friends for a while now, since you first arrived in the land of magical ponies.
>She was everything you could ask for in a friend and more.
>She stuck with you through thick and thin, and helped you get over your homesickness.
>She really made you feel at home here.
>She had been dropping slight hints lately about elevating your relationship though.
>I took you a while to notice, AJ had to straight up tell you for you to see it.
>After a pep talk from your friend Jack, you finally summoned the courage to ask her out yesterday.
>She agreed in her usual nonchalant way, but you suspected she was more excited then she let on.
>Snapping back to reality, you nervously adjust the corner of the blanket for the seventh time.
>"Everything has to be just perfect."
>You glance down at your watch again.
>In the fading sunlight, you can barely make out the numbers 7:30.
"She should be here any moment now."
>A few minutes later, you spot a familiar rainbow streak in the sky.
>Its coming straight for you, hurtling through the air.
>It comes to a screeching halt before you, raising a cloud of dust.
>You open your eyes to find your favorite rainbow mare hovering in front of you.
>"So, how was that?"
"That was quite the entrance Dash."
>Yea, I am pretty awesome, huh?"
>You chuckle to yourself.
"And modest too."
>Shes poses "awesomely" in air.
>"Yea, I am, huh?"
>She spies the picnic laid out behind you and stares at the food on it longingly.
>"Alright, i'm starving!"
"Well, lets not waste any time then."
>You take your place on the blanket, sitting across from Dash.
>With out hesitation, she digs in to her sandwich.
>She wolfs down the food, like she hasn't eaten in weeks.
>You stare at her for a bit.
>She speaks through a mouthful food to you.
>"Wot? M blking, ok?"
>You smile at her, starting on your food.
"Oh nothing, I was just admiring how cute you look even when you eat."
>This earns you another punch on the shoulder.
>You're pretty used to it by now, but its always worth it.
>The two of you sit and talk for some time, about every subject under the sun.
>Mainly about her though.
>It was both of your favorite thing to talk about.
>She was detailing her exploits at a Rainbow Dash fan club meeting, and how she "totally amazed them with her awesomeness!"
>"So then I swooped down, and it left all of their jaws hanging open! You should have been there, it was awesome."
"Sounds like a hell of a trick. Wish I could have seen it."
>"Well I could show you if you want."
"Dinner and a show? Sounds great."
>She stands on the blanket, taking her launching position.
>"Alright, prepare to be amazed!"
>She takes of into the air, leaving you in her dust.
>She zooms around in the sky, truly in her element.
>Leaps, loops, and spins.
>You've never seen anything like it, and it still amazes you to this day.
>After completing her move set, she gracefully lands on the blanket.
>"So, what did you think? Pretty awesome huh?"
"That was amazing Dash, just like usual. I don't think Ive ever seen a better flyer then you."
>She looks downwards and rubs her foreleg.
>If you didn't know better, you could swear you saw a slight blush.
>"Thanks, it was awesome, huh?"
>The two of you sit beneath the stars, enjoying each others company, the time passing you by as it gets further into the night.
>As the moon rises, it brings the cold with it.
>You notice that Dash is shivering, just slightly.
"You alright Dash?"
>"Yea, its just a little chilly out."
>Giving your self a moment to work up some courage, you stretch your arm out.
"I'm pretty warm, I could share a bit if you want."
>Despite the darkness, you can definitely see a blush now.
>She hesitates for a split second, before shuffling towards you.
>You close your arm around her, drawing her close to you.
>You can feel the shivering stop, and can see a slight smile spread across her face.
"I am pretty comfy, huh?"
>You flash her a toothy smile.
>"What? No, im just,... conserving energy, that's all! Cant waste those calories on heat, im bulking you know."
"Of course."
>After a while of just laying, you notice just how late it is.
"Crap, i didn't mean to keep you out this late Dash."
>"Oh, well I don't really mind. You need your daily dose of awesomeness you know. Thats what im here for!"
"Well as much as i appreciate your concern, you're probably itching to get out of here."
>You sit up, releasing her.
>She frowns slightly, which she knows you hate to see.
"Something wrong Dash?"
>"Do you think,... you could stay for a little bit longer?"
"Of course Dash, id love to."
>She gives you an unbelievably cute smile.
>You wrap your arm around her again, laying back down.
>She sighs slightly, giving you a rare insight to her more loving side.
>The two of you lay there for some time, completely content with life.
