One Year Anniversary

>"Are we almost there yet Anon? Its freezing out here."
"Yea, just a few more minutes."
>"Where are we even going?"
"Come on, I can't ruin the surprise."
>That earns you an eye roll.
>"This is so lame."
>You and Dash had been going out for exactly year now.
>It had been the best year of your life, every day with her was a gift and a pleasure.
>For your one year anniversary, you really wanted to wow her, take her somewhere deserving of her.
>You had saved up quite a bit of money, and you were going to take her somewhere really fancy tonight.
>The two of you round a final corner, revealing the date spot.
>"Is that the Golden Mare? As in, the most exclusive spot in all of Equestria "Golden Mare"?"
"You bet. You ready to eat?"
>"How'd you even get a table? This place is booked for months!"
"Im just that good I guess."
>You look up at Dash, hovering above you, to she a disinterested face.
>You feel a twang of disappointment, and you kick yourself internally for taking Dash to a "fancy fru-fru place"
>"Damn it Anon, this was dumb."
>You snap back to reality to see Dash already at the door, monitoring for you to follow.
>"Come on Anon, im hungry!"
>You swallow hard, and enter the building.
>......


>You are Equestria's awesomest pony, Rainbow Dash.
>Well, you arnt right now, right now your Equestria's most "out of her comfort zone" pony.
>You can't believe that idiot would go and do something like this.
>The MOST exclusive restaurant in all of Equestria, and he took you.
>You were probably all red now, this is a place for a fancy pony, not for you.
>Look at all of these mares, dressed really fancy, wearing tons of make up, all looking elegant.
>Then there you were. You didn't even bother to get dressed up, even though you knew that this was a special event.
>Hopefully you could just eat fast, then get out of here.
>Some pony in a vest leads you and Anon to your table.
>Oh man, this place is SO nice. The table even has candles on it!
>Anon pulls out your chair, then sits across from you.
>The fancy looking pony hoofs you a menu and a wine list.
>You scan the menu, but you can't make heads or tails of it.
>Chicken Tetrazzini, Filet Mignon, Lobster Thermidor...?
>The waiter pony looks at you expectantly.
"Ummm, do you have a hay burger?"
>The waiter pony sports a slight sneer, deepening your blush.
>After he takes both of you menus, you look back to Anon.
>Expecting him to look embarrassed, you only find the most loving look you could think of.
>"A hay burger, huh?"
"Hehe, what can I say? Hay burgers are awesome."
>'Man, howd I end up with such a cool girl?"
>You want to say something nice e back, but your damn ego stops you.
"I am really awesome, arnt I?"
>Fuck.
>..........


>You are Anon.
>And you are panicking like never before.
>You were just trying to do something nice for her, but you super fucked it up.
>Shes crazy red now, probably because shes embarrassed to be her with you.
>You knew where you were going, but you still barely even dressed up for it.
>You try to pass the time by talking about dash's favorite topic, Rainbow Dash.
>Before you know it, you food arrives.
>You ordered something fancy sounding, trying to impress Dash. You don't even remember what it was called.
>Rainbow Dash digs into her hay burger with out hesitation, practicly inhaling it.
>You cut into yours, hoping to end this as soon as possible.
>.....


>As you finish your hay burger, you let out a small belch.
>The whole restaurant stairs at you, worsening your state.
>This is unbearable, you're so out of your element.
>"Dash, are you alright?"
>You look up from your plate to see Anon, staring at you worriedly.
"Im fine, its just..."
>"What's wrong Dash?"
"Why did you bring me here Anon? Don't get me wrong, im still awesome, but ill never be fancy like all of these ponies."
>Anon just stairs at you quizzically.
"I mean, ar'nt you embarrassed or something?
All of the other mares in here are all dressed up, then there's me."
>Anon wraps your hoof in his hand, and looks you straight in the eye.
>"Dash, im not here for them. Im here for you."
>"I didn't start a relationship with Rarity, I did with Rainbow Dash. You're always amazing to me, and no matter where we go, you're always the most beautiful pony in the place."
>If you weren't red before, you certainly were now.
>Anon smiles at you, and you feel yourself instantly relax.
>"I love how simple you are, like the whole hay burger thing. I don't even know what the hell I ordered, but I know id love a normal hay burger right about now."
>You perk up at this, getting an idea.
"Hey Anon, how bout we leave this lame place, and go to Burger Joes? I hear they've got the best hay burgers this side of Griffonstone."
>Anon smiles at you.
>"Sure, that sounds awesome, lets go."
>The two of you stand up and walk out of the building.
>Once outside, you nervously look around for any pony around.
>Not seeing anything, you spin Anon around to face you, then lock him in a deep kiss.
>Initially surprised, he wraps his long arms around you, making you feel safe.
>You break the kiss off, and stare deep into his non-existent eyes.
"I love you Anon, you're pretty awesome most of the time."
>"I love you too Dash, more then you'll ever know."
>Rudely interrupted by your growling stomach, Anon starts towards the smell of hay burgers, pulling you along by the hoof.
>He is pretty awesome. You might just stick around for another year.
