It's the school week after my birthday, and things are better than ever. After Sunset and I confessed our love for one another, we've become practically inseparable. Every day I am excited to see her with my locket always around my neck. When we're not in separate classes or with our respective group of friends, we've been at each other's side during lunch period or secretly holding hands when we sit next to each other during English class with Miss. Cheerliee. But the best time of the day is when school ends, and we can stay in the halls and o nothing but make out...or as my new girlfriend likes to call it, make up for lost time.
We part for a moment from our current make out, and Sunset looks at me with a pleased smile as we remain wrapped in each other's arms.
"Well, this was well worth the wait," she says.
"Yes, yes, it was," I say, smiling back. "To think that we would be like this less than a year after the whole thing with the Spring Fling. Could you imagine the old you finding out that this is what happens between her and one of her former lackeys?"
Sunset laughs out loud at the idea.
"I can't stop imagining how she would be practically horrified that I would go from using you to kissing you with love," she says.
"Neither can I," I say before a thought enters my mind. "Speaking of which, you said that the kisses from our date were your very first."
"Yeah, so?" She asks.
"Well, not that I don't believe you or anything, but are you really telling me you never had one mouth to mouth kiss when you were dating Flash Sentry?" I ask.
Sunset smirks at me before she responds.
"Nope, not even him," She says. "It's like I said, he's a nice guy, but I never liked him, liked him. I flirted and pretended to be nice to him and everything, but when it came to kissing, it never went to more than a few times on the cheek as part of my act. Going mouth to mouth is all you, babe."
"Well, it's lovely to know that you saved that for someone that you -" I begin before another thought enters my mind. "Did you just call me babe?"
"I did," Sunset says with a flirtatious smile. "I'm not normally one for nicknames, but given how cute you are when you blush, I think a name like babe is perfect for a cutie like you."
My cheeks heat up again at her words.
"Uh, please don't," I say bashfully. "That makes me uncomfortable."
"If I don't get to say it, I'll find a new way to make you blush, Mr. Draft," Sunset says teasingly. "Perhaps you would like something to make you really turn red like sweetie-kins or honey bunny or cutie pie or cuddle-"
"Okay, okay, babe it is!" I exclaim my face dark red.
"That's better," Sunset says pleased. "Now, where were we?"
My bashful face turns into a flirtatious one as I say, "I think I remember," before we begin kissing again until...
"Hey, cut it out, you two!"
We break apart to see Soarin, Caramel, and Big Mac standing next to us.
"Who says you two get to make out as much as you want?" Soarin demands.
"Aw, quit complaining and go make out with Rainbow Dash or something," I say before I go back to kissing Sunset.
"Well, I'd love to, if she wasn't at - oh I don't know, band practice," Soarin retorts.
Immediately, Sunset breaks the kiss and gasps loudly.
"Oh my gosh, I forgot!" She says. "Rainbow and the others must be waiting for me!"
