- "Hey Scratch!"
- >She walks in shacking off the snow covering her coat
- >"What are you doing home? I thought Mrs. Cake had your ass in a cage in the back of her shop."
- "I got some time off."
- >"Rad."
- >She takes a seat next to you and throws a blanket over herself
- >"I don't know how you watch this crap."
- >She points her hoof at the television
- >"I mean, sometimes there's good programs on during the morning. But that's just cartoons for the kids."
- "I don't really know what I want to do... After working for so long I just feel drained you know?"
- >She seems to shiver under the blanket
- >"Yeah I get you, Sometimes you just need to mellow out and relax."
- >You glance over to her
- >You swear she shivers from the cold
- "I don't get how you ponies are always cold when you're covered in fur."

- >"Jackass."
- "Hey, You're warm now right?
- >You pat her head
- >She pulls herself free of the cloth sarcophagus
- >Normally after said situation you could expect to get slapped across the face
- >This is not the case
- "Scratch?"
- >"Anon..."
- >"Tell you what... It's around dinner time right? Wanna get a meal together?"
- "Are you... Are you asking me on a date after I assaulted you with every blanket you own?"
- >"I'm doing this wrong aren't I? I'm sorry I've never done this before. I have no idea what I'-"
- "Relax."
- >"It's just that, Everypony sees me as a charismatic talkative pony... But it's all just a stage act. Off stage I'm really awkward when it comes to things like this."
- "Well let's work on that. Come on and get ready, we'll be leaving in ten."
- >She gives you a small smile and trots into her room
- >You head to the shower to get cleaned up
- >Might as well try and look your best...
- >Not that you think Vinyl would care either way
- >With a shrug you hop in
- -Vinyl-
- >You trot to your room and scramble to get ready
- "He said yes!"
- >You feel your heart jump with joy
- >You were so sure he was just going to laugh it off and think you were kidding around
- >Looking inside your closet you try to find an outfit
- "What would he like..."
- >Thinking back on it he never really commented on your clothing much
- >Which is good because you have no idea what to wear
- >You close the closet with a sigh
- >No dressing up
- >Just gonna go with the flow
- >Grabbing your headphones in your magic you slide them over your ears
- >Floating your brush over you begin getting your mane under control
- -Anon-
- >You step out of the shower and get yourself dried off
- >Much better
- >Getting dressed you walk back out into the living room and wait for your date
- >...
- >After about 5 minutes Vinyl trots out of her room with her mane tied back into a ponytail
- "Heh."
- >She looks at you nervously
- "I like your mane."
- >"T-thanks... Decided to try something different."
- "Well let's get to it."
- >You toss a coat on and head out the door
- >"Where we going?"
- "I was thinking about how funny it would be to make Mrs. Cake serve us... But then I realized she would probably throw me in the back and tell me to cook it myself."
- >She smiles at the thought
- >"Knowing her dark side I could see that."
- "So keeping that in mind I decided on a small coffee shop near the edge of town, It opened about a week ago and I've been meaning to check it out anyways."
- >"Sounds good."
- >You glance down at her
- "Don't you think you should have grabbed a coat?"
- >"I'll be fine. Don't worry."
- "Alright... It's a bit of a walk so..."
- >"Anon, I'll be fine."
- >You see her try to hide a shiver
- >This'll be just great...
- >10 minutes later you walk into the front of the shop with Vinyl curled up in your arms
- "Fine huh?"
- >"S-Shut up..."
- >The coffee shop is fairly quiet given the time
- >Scents of baked goods and sandwiches fill your nose
- >It's a cozy looking establishment that's somewhere between a normal coffee shop and a restaurant
- >A kind looking earthpony comes up to you
- >"Seat for two today?"
- "Yup."
- >"Right this way."
- >He leads you over to one of the seats near the windows
- >Looking outside you see light snow falling around the dim street lights
- >You let Vinyl take the window seat
- >"I'll be right back with the menus. In the meantime would you like anything to drink this evening?"
- >Vinyl speaks up first
- >"Do you guys have Lemon Balm tea?"
- >"Absolutely, and for you sir?"
- "Just water will do for me."
- >"Very well, I'll be back with your drinks and the menus."
- >He walks away
- >You glance over to Vinyl
- "Tea?"
- >"What? I like tea..."
- "Just isn't what I thought you'd order."
- >A twinge of red appears on her face and she fidgets with her front hooves
- >You wrap an arm around her and pull her close
- >"I-I... Anon..."
- "It's a date. You're supposed to be having some sort of fun."
- >"Is it n-normal to be this nervous?"
- "Far as I know. Let me put it another way, would you rather be home alone?"
- >"No! I mean... No."
- >You chuckle
- "Then you must be having some sort of fun."
- >The waiter comes back and hands you both the menu
- >"I'll swing by in a few more moments to take your orders. Let me know if there's anything you two need."
- >With a smile he leaves again
- >Opening the menu you see the many dishes this place has to offer
- >Sandwiches, soups, pastries and salads
- >For Ponyville It's got quite the variety
- "Whatcha going to get?"
- >"Thinking a toasted tomato sandwich and some of this."
- >She points to the menu
- "Creamy Tomato soup with grilled cheese 'croutons'. That actually sounds really good."
- >She grins
- >"Yeah it does!"
- "Guess we'll make it two."
- >The waiter comes back around and takes your orders before leaving you to chat some more
- >Vinyl's staring out the window at the falling snow
- >"I love it when it snows like this..."
- "Really peaceful huh?"
- >"Yeah. It's nice and calming."
- >She leans into you and takes a sip of her tea
- >"Mmmhhh..."
- >The waiter comes back with your food and a warm smile on his face
- >"Enjoying the view are we? Well here's your dishes, feel free to call me over if you need anything."
- >He deposits the meals onto the table and you dig in
- >The food's really good
- >You make a mental note to come back to this place once and a while
- >Vinyl seems to enjoy her meal as she goes back and forth between talking about her gigs and eating
- >After about 10 minutes you wrap up the meal
- "That's what I call a dish."
- >"Thanks's for listening to all that boring crap about my shows."
- "You kidding me? Your job sounds way more fun the the crap I have to put up with all day."
- >"I do meet some pretty interesting ponies I guess..."
- "Ponies and...?"
- >You slowly pull her towards you while waggling your eyebrows
- >"And you."
- "Oh I thought you forgot!"
- >"Of course I didn't! You wouldn't stop harassing me over not playing any rock!"
- "Well someone had to say it..."
- >"The posters outside told you what I'd be playing you jackass."
- >You bring your face close to hers
- "There were 4 week old posters out there, how was I supposed to know that those ones were new?"
- >Your face is inches from hers
- >"I-I..."
- >Her eyes dart all over your face as she stammers from the sudden closeness
- >You pull back a bit
- "Guess it worked out in the end huh?"
- >"Her face goes red and she nods"
- "Want to head home?"
- >"Sure."
- >She finishes off her tea as you walk to the front and pay
- >It's cheaper then you thought it was going to be
- >Definitely coming back here at some point
- >You meet Vinyl at the front door
- "You're not going to make me carry you again are you?"
- >"Was kinda nice..."
- "Scratch..."
- >"Please? you wouldn't let your date freeze on her first time out would you?"
- >20 minutes later
- >You barge in the door with the white pony in your arms once again
- >She's still shivering despite your best efforts
- >looking down at her she's giving you the puppy eyes
- "No, I'm not carrying you to your bed."
- >She snickers to herself before wiggling out of your arms and shaking the snow off her coat
- "Hey."
- >"Hrrrm?"
- >You get down on one knee and pull her into a proper hug
- "You have fun?"
- >She responds by wrapping her hooves around you
- >"C-can we do this again sometime?"
- >You pull back a bit and plant a small kiss on her forehead
- >You hear a small gasp come from her and see stares at you
- "I look forward to it."
