"Oh yeah?! Well how about we both write a research paper to Celestia. Whoever gets the better grade wins!" >Twilight scoffs, "You'd just be wasting your time, Anon! I'm obviously smarter!" >She puts her chin up in pride, closing her eyes. >You grit your teeth in anger. "So you don't accept my challenge?! That sounds an awful lot like backing out to me!" >Her eyes open. >"What? I'm not backing out! I'm just saying I'd win easily!" "If you'll win so easily then you have nothing to lose." >She thinks it over for a second. >You both stood in the center of the tree house. You await her response. >She walks behind one of her tables and begins organizing the contents on it. >"Fine, anon. I accept. On what subject is the research paper going to be?" >Oh. You hadn't thought about that. "Hmm..Good question." >You both sit there and think over it for awhile. >You snap your fingers. "How about a comparison between human and pony cultures?" >She raises an eyebrow. >"Uhh...but I don't know that much about your culture, Anon." "Right! And I still have a lot to learn about yours, too." >"I don't see where you're coming from. We can't write a pap-" "Research paper." You say, extending your index finger. >A silence. "We can teach each other about our cultures, Twilight. We can meet here every so often and take turns teaching." >She puts a fore hoof up to her chin and thinks it over. >"Alright. Sounds acceptable." >Perfect. >You now had the perfect excuse to be around Twilight. >Now you may have a chance.   >The first night of studying with Twilight is here. >You're nervous, but before you leave your place you make sure that you look your best. >Showered, shaved, combed, the works. >You're walking through Ponyville with your backpack full of books, a notepad and a writing quill. You are prepared for this. >The only way you're going to 'woo' her is if you can show her how smart you really are. >You pass Sugar Cube Corner when suddenly something ZOOMS past you. >What the fuck? >It zooms back toward you and you flinch in response. >"HEY ANON!" >Oh...Its just pinkie. "Hey, Pinkie." >She glances at your backpack. >"Whatcha got there?" >You continue walking toward Twilight's place. "I have a study session with Twilight. We're trying to see who can write the best research paper." >She laughs and snorts, "You can't beat TWILIGHT at writing papers, Anon!" "I'll have you know, I did a lot of studying before I came to Equestria." >She's walking next to you now...or 'bouncing' next to you. >"Thats like trying to beat Applejack at bucking! Or Rainbow Dash at flying! Or Mrs. Bake at baking! Or Derpy at being a-" "I get the picture, Pinkie. I'm still going to try." >She giggles one last time before saying, "Alright, anon. Its your funeral! I got cupcakes to make! See ya!" "See ya." >She zips off right as you approach the tree house. >This is it. This is your chance to wow Twilight. >You walk up to the tree house door and knock. >A couple seconds pass as Twilight opens the door.   >You look past her to see if anyone else is home. "Wheres Spike?" >"Oh, he's hanging with Fluttershy tonight. Its just you and me!" >Perfect. >"Come on in!" >You duck your head below the door way as you enter the Tree house. >She'd prepared one of the bigger tables with ink, notepads and a few books. >You sling your backpack off your shoulder and put it down next to you. >Twilight sits across from you. >"Alright. I've informed Princess Celestia of our little contest. She said she'll judge it for us so long as its all in good fun." >You smirk at her. "I think we both know this isn't 'all in good fun,' Twilight." >"Oh yes. I know. This is a competition, but lets play it off like its just a friendly study session." >You begin to take out the contents of your backpack and neatly lay them on the table. >You're ready for this, Anon. >"Oh, also." "Hmm?" >"She says that our cultures in general is too broad. We have to be more specific. She wants five sub-topics that cover our cultures." "Alright. What should they be then?" >She magically grabs a small scroll and hovers it over to you. >"Luckily for us, she gave us all five." >You unravel the scroll and read it's contents. >1. Education. >2. Entertainment. >3. Technology. >4. Tradition. >5. Romance. >You squint at them. "These concepts themselves are kind of broad too." >"Well, it does break down a culture nicely. "Kind of simplistic, if you ask me." >"Either way, we have what we need to start researching. So, tell me about the human education system."   >You think about it for a second. "Well, the education system really depends on what country you're in." >"Oh. Like Equestria is a country?" "Yeah. Its different dependent on where you are." >You begin to teach her how each culture has a different way of teaching, though it all really comes down to studying, routine, etc. "Where I'm from we go through several stages of schooling." >She's writing furiously at her notebook, trying to get down all the important details. >You explain your education system. The concepts of K-12, College, Universities, etc. >"So wait, how did the grading scale go again?" "You're detracted points. The more points you lose, the closer you get to 'dropping a letter." >"Dropping a letter?" "Right, so it would be like, A, B, C, D, F. The more points you lost, the further up the alphabet you went." >"Wheres E?" "E?" >"Yeah, the letter E." "We didn't have that in the grading scale." >"Why..? Why skip it?" "I don't know! Is that really THAT important?" >"I suppose not." >After what seems like hours, you finally explain to her enough about your education system that she seems satisfied. >She uses her magic to flip through all the notes she's taken. >"Phew. Thats a lot. Your education system is a lot more complicated than ours, I'll admit." >You cross your arms and nod proudly. "Yeah, takes a SMART guy to understand it." >She glares at you. >"Uhuh. I'm surprised you knew all that, anon." >"Did I woo her?" you think.   >"Now. I guess I should teach you about how our education works." >You pick up your quill, get some ink on that bitch and prepare to write. >"You go to school for a couple of years as a filly, which teaches you life lessons and how to succeed. After that, you try to make a living from your special talent." >............ "Thats it?" >"In a general sense, yes." >What the fuck. "Thats it?!" >You couldn't help but feel that she was being this broad to put you at a disadvantage. >She stares at you. >"Yep." "Alright, so how did you end up studying so much after school?" >"Well, my special talent is magic. So I studied magic and many other things after basic schooling." >She goes on to tell you about HER education system. You figure that will be enough for your paper. >She tells you about Magic Academy, how their grading was done, teaching, entry exams, etc. "So wait, your entry exam was...opening a dragon egg?" >"I know it sounds weird, but it required magic! What are your entry exams like?" "Usually sitting at a computer and answering questions about a bunch of different subjects." >"Whats a computer?" >You sigh. You missed your computer. "We'll get to that with technology, I guess." >She finishes telling you about her education system in Canterlot. >You skim through your notes, satisfied with what you had scrounged up. "Phew. Thats not as simple as I thought it'd be." >"Yup! Only a genius would be able to get through that!" "Whatever. Next subject."   >You look at the scroll that Celestia provided. >"Whats the next one, anon?" "Entertainment." >"Okay, so what do humans do for entertainment?" >You don't respond at first, and you look down towards number five on the list. >5. Romance >You feel butterflies forming in your gut. >Come on, anon. You can do this. "U-Umm...I think there are easier subjects that we could get out of the way first." >She tilts her head and furrows her brow. >"Huh? Easier subjects?" "Yeah, on the list." >"Oh. Well she didn't say anything about doing them in order. Alright, which one should we next? >You gulp. >Easy, anon. >Your heart is thumping hard in your chest. "R-Romance." >"Oh...Well, you're right. That one isn't too difficult. Lets get it out of the way." >Theres a silence, as if she's expecting you to talk but nothings coming. >"Anooon! Hello? Romaaance!" >You flinch and look up from your combination of deep thought and anxiety. "O-Oh! Right! Romance..." >You pause, thinking about it before you speak. "Well, Human romance works in a simple way. Once we reach the age of sexual maturity, we start dating. The dating process can take months to years depending on the couple. Once they decide they're right for each other, they get married...to put it broadly." >"So when do humans reach sexual maturity?" "Eh, early to middle teens." >"How old are you?" >Hey, whoa. That came out of nowhere. >You tell her your age. >"So you're "mature" and have no other humans around?"   >Your eyes drift toward the floor with a small grin on your face. "Uhh, yeah." >"That must be lonely, anon." "I-Its not that bad. I really like it here in Equestria. I've made a lot of friends here." >"Yeah, but friends don't normally engage in any sort of romance. So you're missing out on it entirely." >Fuck. This isn't going how you'd planned. >You try to get the subject back on rails. "A-Anyway, in early stages of romance, sometimes if one person likes another, they'll actually treat them badly." >She seems to take the bait. >"Really? Thats funny." >She giggles. "Whats funny?" >"Oh, well, I've just noticed that sometimes when we hang out you treat me pretty badly!" "What?! Thats just because we're competitors." >"I know, Anon. I'm joking." >She completely caught you off guard. >Fuck fuck fuck. >Your brain is telling you to abort, but there is no going back now. >"So why do they treat the other party badly?" >You try to still your breathing, you don't want to let her know you're getting riled up. "W-Well, its usually because they simply want their attention, though it can be other reasons. Sometimes they just don't want them to know they like them." >She's writing more notes down, not saying anything. >"They usually grow out of it through, displaying their affection properly as they age. Love notes and such." >She laughs again. Her giggle makes you smile a bit. "What?" >"I was just thinking about you writing one of those. That would be too hilarious!"   >You grind your teeth in frustration. She's making fun of you. >"Did you write any of those, anon?" "I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of knowing." >She scoffs, "Alright. Be that way!" >She continues writing notes down before you continue. >"Alright, so whats after that?" "Actual dating. Usually at that age, its purely experimental. Dating and getting to know what you like, it usually doesn't work out in the long run though." >"Mhm," she says with her magic moving her pencil. "So you kind of a get a feel for whether you like the partying ones, the smart ones, the stuck up ones, you know, different personality types." >"Which one did you like?" "Oh, I prefer smart gir-" >FUCK. >You just blurted that out. >You think to yourself, "You're a fucking idiot, anon." >You see a small flush of red form on her checks. >"Oh, you like smart girls?" >This is what you want, right, anon? >Go along with it. >You nod. "Yup!" you state proudly. "I need a woman who I can have an intelligent conversation with." >Or write a research paper with. >You wanted to say that so badly, but you keep it under wraps. >"And so after said person finds out what he or she likes?" "Well thats obvious. They try to choose people with that personality type." >She doesn't write that down, it being obvious. >"So is it like our culture where stallions make the first move?" >You nod. "Yeah, typically the man advances." >"Well, maybe he should." >What. "What do you mean?"   >Is she actually asking you to... >No, she's just teasing you again. Don't fall for her trap. >But what if it isn't a trap? >Ugh. Choices. You suddenly wish you had a quick save, quick load function. >"What I mean is, I think the man should make the first move on the mare if he likes her so much!" >Doesn't she mean "stallion" and not man...? >Wait a fucking second. >Man and mare. >Oh shit. Is this actually happening? >You want to try pinching yourself to see if you're awake, but you decide against it. >She's giving you a golden opportunity. She knows you like her. You always give each other shit but you both know you're not serious about it. "Twilight are you saying that I shou-" >BAM >"Twilight! I'm back!" >What. >NO >NO >FUCK >You turn around to see Spike with Fluttershy. >"Hey, anon! Hows the studying going?" >He lifts up his claw for a high five, you were good friends with spike but this... >This is unacceptable. >You try your best to let go of your frustrations. >Giving him a high five, you ask, "Hey, bud. Have fun with Fluttershy?" >"Yeah! I helped her with her animals all day!" "Sounds awesome." >You look at the clock. "Oh, well its getting late, I should probably be heading home now. >Twilight flinches and gets a worried look on her face. >"But, Anon..." "Its alright, we can study more later." >You pack up your things and walk out. >All three notice theres something wrong, Twilight especially. >"Did we...interrupt something?" Spike says.   >You angrily walk your way out of the tree house and start heading home. >Not only had you been jerked around by Twilight's teasing, but right as you were about to let her know how you feel, spike bursts in. >"Anon! Wait!" you hear Twilight's voice behind you. >You ignore her and continue to walk. >The sun was set by now, but the streetlights illuminated Ponyville's roads. >She gallops up to your right side and looks up at you. >"I'm really sorry about that, Anon. I didn't think he'd be back so soon..." "What are you talking about? We have all the time in the world to STUDY." >She senses your anger and her ears fold back. >You look down at her to see saddle bags on each side of her. "What are those for?" you ask. >"Well I wanted to ask...." "No." >"No?" "No." >Theres silence as her pace slows down and she falls behind. >"But anon...I think we were about to get to a really important part of the study!" >More teasing, more beating around the bushes. After all that she can't let up? "Yeah, well maybe we can omit that part from our pap-" >You turn around to look at her, her Amethyst eyes staring into yours with a pitiful look. >You turn back around and sigh. "What ARE the saddle bags for...?" >She closes the distance between the both of you. >"Well...I was going to ask if you wanted to continue the study at your place." >Oh. Shit. >You smirk. >You tease back, "I dunno. You'd think something as trivial as a paper could wait for one night!"   >"Well I could tell you were really getting into it! I wouldn't want you to be disappointed or anything." "Oh, it wasn't anything THAT important." >Giving each other shit, but you both have smiles on your faces. >You love her. You realize that now. >You start walking towards your house again, this time you're calmed down. "For the sake of getting this paper finished as soon as possible, I guess you can come over." >She walks next to you, the night time breeze pushing past both of you. The air is crisp and refreshing, both of you breathing in as the air goes by. >"I'm sorry about that, Anon." she says. "It's not your fault, Twilight." >"You can call me Twily if you want." >Your heart skips a beat. >Only the people really close to her call her that. >You felt a wave of overwhelming excitement and joy rush over you. This was actually happening. "Alright, Twily." >You look down to see that she's giving you the cutest grin ever. >You approach your house and open the front door. You flick on the lights and put your backpack on the living room table. >"I'll never get used to your place, anon." >You laugh. "Whys that?" >"It just looks so much more different than a typical pony's house." "That might be because I stand 3-4 feet above all of you." >"Shutup. I know that." she says, jokingly. >You slump down on the couch and breath an exhausted sigh. >She hops up with you and sits next to you. >"You're not going to learn much if you don't have your notepad."   "If I remember correctly, I was lecturing you." >She rolls her eyes, "Whatever, Anon." >Theres a calm silence before she breaks it. >"Do you remember where we left off?" she asks, looking up at you. "I think you were asking me if Stallions make the first move or not." >"And you said they do, right?" "Yup." >"So how would you go about it if you were going to make the first move?" >You laugh at her question, but continue. "I have an idea." >"Hmm?" "You'd probably get a better understanding for your paper if we acted it out." >She giggles, "Okay." >You face her directly. >"Twilight, theres something I've been meaning to tell you for awhile now...and its only just tonight that I really found out I felt this way." >Her violet eyes are shimmering, a grin on her face. >"What do you need to tell me, Anon?" >Theres a silence. Your hearts beating faster than ever. >"Twilight I-" >BAM >OH FUCK >NO >N- >You turn around to see that one of the books on the living room table had fallen to the floor, a purple glow surrounding it. >You look back at Twilight, whose horn is lit up. >She giggles. >"What were you saying ano-" >"I love you, Twilight." >Her smile forms into a look of disbelief, her eyes shimmering. >"Y-You do?" she asks, stammering. >"Yes. I love you more than anything. If I had the chance to return home, I'd decline. Because I want to be with you forever."   >Tears begin forming in the corner of Twilight's eyes. >"Really? This isn't some joke?" she asks. "No, Twily. I love you so much. I know you're a mare and I'm a man, but I don't care about that." >You pick up both of her hooves and hold them in between your hands. >Staring directly into her eyes, you ask her, "Twilight...will you be my marefriend?" >She shudders as tears start to fall down her cheeks, but she looked sad more than happy. >"A-Anon..." she hiccups. >"I'm sorry that I teased you so much...I just..I just wanted to let you know how I felt, but I couldn't bring myself to actually say it." >You furrow your brow and brake eye contact, looking down at her hooves. >You look back up and smile at her. "Well then you're lucky that stallions make the first move then." >She can't help but laugh at that, a big smile forming on her face. >She still hasn't answered your question yet. >Silence falls again, she's sniffling, you let her hooves go so she can wipe her face. "I didn't mean to make you cry, Twily..." >She shakes her head, "No, its not your fault. And to answer your question." >Your hearts beating like a Neil Peart solo now, she's going to say it... >"Yes..." she sniffs. "I'll be your marefriend." >She wraps her fore legs around you, you hug her back. >"I love you, Anon..." she whimpers. >You squeeze her tight in your arms, trying to calm her down and make her feel safe. >"I love you too, Twily." >You embrace her for a bit longer...   >She pushes back and stares into your eyes. >Your heart is melting. You had the girl of your dreams in your arms. >"So...what comes after the confession, anon?" >You raise your eyebrows in surprise, your cheeks starting to get red. "Well, umm...now that we're together, I guess the next step would be..." >You both know the answer. "K-Kissing..." you stutter. >She snickers at your lameness. "What? Whats so funny?!" >She laughs, "Oh, nothing." >Your eyes are locked now, her smile fading into a more serious look. >Enough with the teasing. This has to happen. >You both start leaning into each other, though very slowly. >Half expecting something to interrupt you, you keep your guard up. >To your delight, nothing stops it. >You lock lips with her. >Her lips are soft and warm... >You break your kiss quickly and stare into each other's eyes again. "How was it?" you ask. >She smiles, "I liked it...you're my first kiss, anon." "Really?" you ask. You'd expected at least someone else went for her. >"Mhm...do you...do you want to go again?" she asks. >You don't say anything, with your arms around her, you pull her closer to you. >Both closing your eyes, you lock lips again and begin wrestling lips with her. >You push into her and she moans in response. >You feel a surge of hormones shoot through you. >Easy, anon...you just now confessed to her...maybe this wasn't the best time to start fooling around with her. >Though the sexual tension between you was immense. >You continue kissing.   >You break your kiss again, both of you breathing heavily. >Both of you stare into one another's eyes, not saying anything as you catch your breath. >"I should...probably get back, anon...Spike is going to wonder where I am." "Spikes a big dragon, he can take care of himself." >She smiles, then yawns. >Her yawn makes you yawn. >You look over at your clock. It was getting pretty late. >Eh. Maybe she should go home for the night. You could easily pick this up later. >She leans into you and rests her head on your shoulder, sighing warmly. >You lay down on the couch, her following suit on top of you. >With your arms wrapped around her, she lays on your chest, her head against yours. >You can feel her heartbeat, it feels a bit accelerated. >You begin running your fingers through her mane as her breathing becomes more relaxed. >"Anon..." "Hmm?" >"I'm too tired to go home now." she says. "Its fine. I could stay like this for awhile." >She laughs and pushes herself up so she's looking into your eyes again. >"I've been thinking..." "Whats up?" >"This isn't still part of the demonstration, is it?" >You laugh at her. "Yeah, because I'm going to say 'And thats how I'd do it' and then kick you out." >"Okay, good. I know we tease each other a lot so I just wanted to make sure." >She lays back down and does that relaxed sigh again. "Hey, Twilight?" >"Yes?" "Do you want to go up to my bedroom?" >She jerks a little bit, but then relaxes. >"Sure."   >You scoop her up in your arms and carry her to your bedroom. >Carrying her down the hall, you look down at her to see her eyes closed, but with a smile on her face. >You enter your room and walk up to the bed. >Placing her down, you lower yourself to your knees on the beside. >She's facing you, laying on her side. >Her eyes open. >"Hey, anon." She greets you. "Hi." >You smile at her. >"Why'd you bring me in here?" she asks with a wink. "Not whatever you're thinking." >"Oh?" She says, her eyebrows raised. >You slide the blanket over her. When you put it down she lifts it up with her fore hoof. >"Wanna snuggle with me?" she asks. >You make an even bigger grin as you slide under the covers with her. >You wrap her in your arms in a spooning position, and relax on the bed, listening to her heart beat. >You feel like the luckiest man in Equestria. Well, you're the only man in Equestria, so you guess thats technically true. >Her breathing becomes deep and slow. She's drifting off to sleep. >You feel the heaviness in your eyes and yawn in response to thinking of sleep. >"Asleep yet, anon?" she says quietly. >You snap back from your daze. "I don't know if I can sleep." >"Why not?" "I just didn't think I'd ever have you here with me like this...my heart won't stop beating so fast, so I can't really fall asleep." >She turns over so she faces you. >"You really do love me, don't you, Anon?" >With a serious expression, you nod once. >She smiles at you.   >"Anon?" "Yeah?" >"Do you want to kiss me again?" "Nah, I'd prefer not to." >She does a pretend gasp and bops your nose with her hoof. "Ouch." >She giggles and you pull her in close again. >Her fur is so warm, it almost makes you feel too hot for the blanket. "So...do you think you're learning enough for the paper?" you ask. >She laughs out loud. >"Yeah, I think the romance section will be my most detailed section of the paper." "We should probably keep this part out of the paper. I don't think a princess wants to be reading about all this mushy shit." >"I can't imagine anyone wanting to read about it." >You laugh at her comment. >"So are you sure you didn't bring me in here to..." >What? >Oh god, what. >She slowly moves her fore hoof down to her lower areas >She locks her eyes with you, her mouth open a little bit, she flashes you bedroom eyes. >You feel another wave of hormones shoot through your blood stream. >You watch intensely. >Suddenly she pushes you. >"Just kidding!" she sticks her tongue out. >You growl, that actually got you excited. >"What kind of mare do you think I am, anon?" "I never said anything about...about that." >She giggles menacingly. >It seems that even after you've confessed your feelings to her, the teasing still wouldn't stop. >You sigh, accepting the fact that this would probably be an ongoing thing. >She scootches closer to you and pecks your lips. >Then another peck. >Then another. >She locks lips with you again.   >You feel like you're in heaven. >Making out with Twilight Sparkle in your bed. >Nothing could ruin this moment. >Unless Spike burst through the bedroom door. That would ruin it. >Twilight continues to tease you as she makes little whimpers as you kiss. >You try to contain your boner. >Keep it together, anon. Don't let Jabba out of his Hutt. >You open your eyes as she's kissing you. >She seems to be really into it. >You try to push her away but she pulls you back. >She keeps pulling despite you trying to push her away. >You laugh internally. She really wanted to keep doing this. >Continuing to tease her, you try using your tongue. >She immediately accepts, using hers as well. >Oh fuck. >You brush your tongues against each other's. >It felt and tasted good. >You couldn't help it, you getting a bit turned on. >Still continuing to repress your manhood's growth, you continue to tongue wrestle with her. >Shivers go down your spine. This was almost too good. >She breaks the kiss and breaths heavily. >"Anon...you're making it hard not to..." >There's a pause "Not to what?" >She giggles and wraps her back legs around your lower waist. >"This is still technically cuddling, okay, anon?" >With your mouth agape, you give her a slow nod. >She begins rubbing herself against you, moaning softly. >You lift up your shirt so that you can feel it. >She's warm and wet. >She shudders as she rubs up against you, you lock lips with her again as she continues to press in.   >She continues to dry...or "wet hump" you. >You brake your tongue wrestling match again so that she can breathe. >She stares into your eyes as she moans, "Anon..." >She bites her bottom lip as she continues to bounce on your abdomen. "Twilight...that feels...amazing." >Feeling her cunt rubbing against you really was amazing. >She continues bouncing on you. You feel her start to tremble. >Oh god...she isn't about to... >"Anon...Anon..." she moans. >She repeats your voice, climbing in volume as she reaches closer to orgasm. >This was the ultimate tease, you knew she'd never let you inside of her, no matter how much you wanted. >You loved her though, so if she needed this... >No. >You're a man. >And you want this. "Twilight..." >She doesn't respond, she's in a state of complete pleasure "I'm going to..." >You move to reveal your manhood. >Her eyes widen, and she smiles. >After a few seconds she shakes her head. >"No, anon. You're all mine." >This mare. >She continues to straddle against you, she starts squeaking in pleasure. >"Anon...I'm going to cum..." >You start pressing back into her, wanting to make her feel as good as possible. >Trying to put your hands near her nether regions, she pushes your hands away with her fore hoof. >She wasn't letting you have any. >You weren't going to force it. >"Anon...Anon!" >Her muscles tense up as she begins to spasm. >You feel her juices squirt onto your stomach as she finishes. >You both breath heavily there on the bed.   "I hate you sometimes." >She giggles, "Why would you ever say such a thing?" "Keeping all the fun for yourself." >She raises an eyebrow with a smile >"Oh. So you didn't enjoy that?" she retorts. >You roll your eyes. You can't help but feel you missed out on some fun. >"Don't worry, anon. There'll be plenty of time for that." >She yawns >You yawn. >You kiss one last time before you cuddle up as close as you can and begin to fall asleep. >This is what you would probably call the best day of your life. >You couldn't help but wonder what the future had in store for you and her. >Regardless of that, you knew you loved her. And as long as she felt the same, you really didn't care about any of that.   >The next morning you and her wake up and get breakfast together, after cleaning up of course. >Walking through ponyville with her, you continue to talk about the paper. >"So, what were the other categories that we have to write about?" "I don't even remember anymore." You say with a laugh. >"There was...technology...entertainment and...I can't remember the other one." "Me either." >"Weren't we still on romance last night?" she says with a wink. >You grin, "Yeah, I guess we didn't finish that one." >"So we're dating now...what comes after that?" "Stealing all the fun for yourself in bed." >She laughs and bumps into you. >"I guess we have more studying to do."   FIN~
