POV RAINBOW DASH

- And this one? - Rarity extended another set of pants and t-shirt, giving a wide smile.

- You showed me this same set a few minutes ago - I replied, rolling my eyes - I thought it wouldn't take so long.

- It wouldn't take a century if you at least chose something to wear! - she complained - it's your first real date, you need to be well dressed.

- But it's not even certain that they're going on a date - Twilight replied on the other side of the room - Fluttershy hasn't answered yet.

Damn time I decided to ask for help for those two. Just when I asked for help, the first thing Rarity suggested was to get together at my house so that she could prepare the ideal look for the date. Despite finding a somewhat futile topic, Rarity had more experience than me with dating, so I ended up not refusing. Twilight tried to help me discard the meeting ideas I had in mind. Apparently, Fluttershy had a great fear of heights, which left the idea of the amusement park at the bottom of the drawer. Watch action and horror movies? No way, she hated violence in movies and had frequent nightmares about any horror work she watched.

The help of the two was great, but I had no idea how I would survive longer with Twilight reminding me of the details I tried to forget and Rarity asking about the sets of clothes she found in my closet.

- I know she didn't answer, thank you for remembering - I will come to Twilight who shrugged.

- Sorry, I didn't mean it - she smiled crooked - I'm sure she'll accept it.

I disented my lips when I thought of the simple hypothesis of rejection. What would it be like to finally open up and be kicked in the mouth of my stomach? It didn't seem like a pleasant feeling, I tried to avoid such a thought as much as possible.

- I think a break would be good - Rarity sat on the bed - they say that taking your eyes off the work for a few seconds can give you a better perspective when you return to work.

- You know you're just choosing clothes, right? - I raised my eyebrow.

- Fashion is an art, dear - Rarity smiled - therefore, the artistic advice applies to it.

- Call it whatever you want - I shrugged - I'm going to get something to eat in the kitchen, do you want something?

- A water would fall well, maybe a coffee - Twilight stretched her arms - I'm starting to get sleepy.

- Twilight - Rarity called subtly - hadn't we talked about the history of caffeine?

- I've already said and I repeat - the one with the glasses protested - I know how many cups of coffee I can drink, I did the calculations.

- And by any chance these calculations were made while you were drinking coffee? - I asked. Twilight squeezed her mouth and was silent for a few seconds.

- Maybe - he looked away to the ground - but it doesn't matter, I know I'm right.

- Of course it is - Rarity laughed - these calculations of yours made you explain the entire evolution of planet Earth while we were waiting for a pizza at Fluttershy's house five months ago.

- In my defense - Twilight fixed the glasses - this would not have happened if you had not said that "the pangea was the first puzzle in the world".

- What kind of name is that? - I interrupted the conversation - a different name for an old jelly?

- An old jelly? - Twilight closed her face and raised her eyebrows - is this your first logic regarding the word "pangéia"?

- Please, let's not make this our afternoon subject - Rarity put his hands on my shoulder and Twilight's.

We went to the kitchen and talked. While I packed things on the table, Twilight gave cabbage to Tank and asked about the species and how I did to raise it indoors.

- So, what are your plans? - Rarity asked me - what did you send in the message? Specifically.

- Before you arrived, I tried to think of something that I was good and tried to adapt for the meeting - I scratched the back of my neck - as I am good at football tactics, I decided to separate the stages of the meeting in a way that was more fruitful and without defects.

- Tactics? Stages? - Twilight's eyes shone - I had no idea I liked these things.

- I can only enjoy this kind of thing when it involves something I like - I shrugged - like a game or, in this case, a date with Fluttershy.

- That's lovely - Rarity turned her head sideways - but tell me, what's the first stage?

- I sent a message to Fluttershy asking when she would be free next week - I replied - that already gives a margin of time and day, doesn't it?

- I genuinely didn't expect such intelligence to come out of you - Twilight smiled - congratulations.

- Thank you - I thanked you, little by little analyzing her words - wait, was that a compliment?

- Darlings, focus - Rarity snapped her fingers - and the next step?

- See the options of places for the meeting and find out if they fit the time she has free - I read the little note I had saved on my cell phone. Rarity took the cell phone out of my hands.

- Did you write it down?! - she went through my cell phone notes, counting how many steps there were.

- I could forget! - I justified myself - and give me back my cell phone, I don't know when Fluttershy will answer me.

As soon as Rarity gave up holding the cell phone and just let me pick it up, I received a notification, with the photo of Fluttershy appearing. I opened the conversation with her and there was my answer to the first stage.

- What do you say? - Twilight asked curiously.

- She will be free in the next three afternoons - I replied while analyzing the message.

- Perfect, now just choose somewhere that is open in the next afternoons - Rarity shrugged and drank a sip of coffee - and that she will like it, of course.

I thought, and I thought a lot. Luckily for me, Twilight didn't try to rush my reasoning, because I was also thinking which place would be ideal. What place Fluttershy would you like to go, would it be open in the afternoon and would it be a favorable scenario for us to have fun? I remembered our interactions and an idea came up in my mind.

- I think I have an idea of where to take her - I smiled excitedly and looked for the place on one of the social networks, showing them the cell phone - do you think it will work?

Rarity and Twilight opened an excited smile as soon as they saw the screen of the device.

- Absolutely!
