Chapter 7: The Date

The next few days Leo and Twilight keep talking and one day Leo was with Mikey and he was a bit nervous and Mikey asked him what's wrong.

"Leo, what's wrong?" Asked Mikey.

"Well Twilight is a great girl and well I want to do something special for her but I don't know how to." Said Leo.

"I know." Said Mikey." Why don't you ask her out on a date? You guys have been talking and spending time together all the time, so why do t you take Twilight somewhere out the Demon World and into a forest where you can have dinner with her and dance with her."

"You know, that's a good idea, thanks Mikey." Said Leo as he hugged his little brother and went to Twilights room and Mikey smile at him. And so Leo arrived at Twilights room and knock on her door.

"Come in." Said Twilight and Leo went inside." Oh hi Leo, is there something you need?"

"Hey, Twilight I was just thinking that we've been spending so many times at the castle and I was wondering," Leo said as he blush."How about I take you out to dinner tonight?"

Twilight blinked in confusion. "Out?"

Leo nodded with a grin.

"You mean...outside the castle?" Said Twilight.

"Well, I understand if you're not up for it..." said Leo.

"No! That would be wonderful." Said Twilight.

"I'll see you at seven, then?" Twilight nodded as he pulled away. "Oh and why don't we make this a formal occasion? So wear something nice."

"Alright. Tonight then." Leo said.

It was now five minutes to seven and Leo was making last minute adjustments to his appearance. The tuxedo he had summoned made him feel ridiculous, but he had a girl to impress, so he was willing to suffer whatever pain to do so. He could do nothing to improve his physical appearance, however.

"Okay Leo you can do this." Said Leo and then he knock on the door.

"One minute." Said Twilight.

"Alright, no need to be nervous," Leo muttered to himself. "Just one girl. Just one amazing, beautiful...my, it's hot in here." He tugged at his collar. "You can do this. Whatever you do, don't look like a..."

"Leo?" Said Twilight.

"Twilight! You ready to...?"

Leo stopped at the extraordinary sight before him and nearly dropped the bouquet. Twilight was wearing a very beautiful dress that Leo has ever seen.

"Is everything alright?" Ask Twilight.

Leo opened his mouth, but no words came out. Twilight glanced down at her attire.

"Is it too much? I can change, if you'd like." Said Twilight.

"No!" Leo blurted. Then he pulled himself together and cleared his throat. "You look...amazing."

Twilight turned away with a blush. Leo then remembered the bouquet and handed it to her.

"For you, my dear." Said Leo.

Twilight took the flowers with a smile. "Thank you, but... I don't have a vase..."

"I'll fix that." Said Leo.

He snapped his fingers and a dresser appeared in her room, a vase on top. The roses then floated over to it and settled themselves inside. Leo had an idea and made one of the roses come back. He went to Twilight and fixed the flower into her hair. He took a step back to admire her.

"It suits you." Said Leo.

Twilight blushed again. "You're too sweet. So where are we going?"

"You'll see, just close yours eyes." Said Leo and Twilight did and he took her hand and transport them to a forest not from the demon world.

"Okay you can open your eyes now." Said Leo.

Twilight opened her eyes. She glanced at their surroundings and gasped at the sight of a table draped in a white cloth with a candle in the middle. Two covered dishes were set in front of two cushioned dining chairs. As a last minute touch, Leo summoned a violin, playing softly by itself in midair. He bowed to his date, gently taking her hoof.

"Shall we, my dear?" Said Leo.

Twilight giggled as he lightly kissed her hand. He then ushered her to one of the chairs, holding it out for her as she sat down and pushed it back in. Twilight was impressed at what a gentleman he was being.

Then they began to eat and then a music came and Leo smile.

"Do you want to dance Twilight?" Said Leo.

"Okay." Said Twilight.

And so they both got up and they both started to dance. Meanwhile Princess Luna was flying by at her beautiful night and then she saw Twilight with Leo."

"Wait it's that Twilight with the Demon King, maybe I better get a closer look." Said Princess Luna as she got a better look." Wow, I've never seen Twilight this happy with the demon king."

"Where did you learn to dance like this?" Twilight inquired as Leo dipped her again.

Leo smirked as he slowly brought her back up. "You'd be surprised how much you can learn watching from afar."

She glanced around nervously. "Leo, what is this all a...?"

"Shhh," Leo whispered, putting a finger to her lips. "No words, my dear. Let's just enjoy this beautiful night. And as long your so close to me."

Then the music play a different tune a Leo began to sing.

Leo: You're in my arms, and all the world is calm.
The music playing on for only two.
So close, together.
And when I'm with you
So close, to feeling alive.

A life goes by,
Romantic dreams must die.
So I bid my goodbye
And never knew.
So close, was waiting,
Waiting here with you.
And now, forever, I know
All that I wanted
to hold you so close.

So close to reaching
That famous happy end.
Almost believing
This one's not pretend.
And now you're beside me,
And look how far we've come.
So far we are. So close...

As Leo and Twilight dance, Twilight never felt this happy in her entire life and feels so happy with Leo. Princess Luna realize that they are going to close to her hiding place and so she left leaving Leo and Twilight alone.

Leo: Oh how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching
that famous happy end,
And almost believing,
this one's not pretend.
Let's go on dreaming
for we know we are...
so close, so close
and still so far...

After they dance they both sit down.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Asked Leo as he look at Twilight.

"You've have a lot." Said Twilight and she kindly pushed his hand away. "Is that all you can say?"

Leo blinked in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong. I'm flattered, but..." Twilight looked away. "Is that the only reason you like me? That you think I'm a pretty face?"

"Oh, Twilight, no! How can you say that?" He took her hands. "First of all, your face is not pretty, it's beautiful and second, I don't think you're beautiful, you are beautiful! Of course I admire you for it, but that's not the only reason. You're gentle, kind, brave, you have a lovely voice, I find everything about you fascinating." Said Leo.

Twilight blushed slightly. "That's very sweet."

Leo sits close her, placing his hands on her shoulders. "I speak the truth, my dear. You are everything I could ever ask for."

Twilight closed her eyes as he leisurely ran his fingers through her hair. His face was so close that she could feel his warm breath. A month ago, this would have frightened her, but now, she just wanted him to keep stroking her, soothing her, whispering these things in her ear. Whenever he was around, she felt safe and secure, beautiful and important, cared for and adored.

"Twilight," Leo whispered.

"Mmm-hmm?" Twilight uttered absent-mindedly.

"Might I ask you a teensy question? It's not the usual one!" Said Leo.

"Mmm-hmm."said Twilight.

He turned her head towards him. "May I kiss you?"

Twilight opened her eyes in shock. "What?"

He quickly moved away from her. "Sorry, I...I've just never kissed anyone before and...since we're friends, you wouldn't mind..."

"Okay," Twilight replied weakly.

"You know, just this once, and...wait. What was that?" Asked Leo.

Twilight breathed and boldly faced him. "One k-k-kiss w-wouldn't hurt."

Leo stared at her as she shut her eyes and waited. For a moment, he hesitated. He was not expecting for her to actually cooperate. This might be his only chance.

Leo gently took her face in his hands and leaned forward. What if she doesn't enjoy it? What if she hates me for the rest of my life? What are you waiting for? Do it now!

Leo panicked and kissed her on the forehead before quickly pulling away. Twilight opened her eyes in confusion.

"Leo," she said slowly, "are you...nervous?"

Leo scoffed. "Nervous? W-why should I be nervous?"

"It's okay. I'm nervous too." Said Twilight.

The Demon king blinked. "You are?"

Twilight hung her head. "Well...I've never been kissed either and...if I'm never going to meet anybody else in my life..." Twilight trailed off and looked back up at him. "I won't mind. Go ahead."

Leo gulped. "Um...alright. Here it goes."

Twilight closed her eyes as he leaned toward her again. Leo was only an inch away from her lips when his panic returned. When nothing happened for a while, Twilight kissed him on his lips, causing Leo's eyes to widen in shock. Unbeknownst to him, his pupils became heart shaped and after a few seconds, his eyelids slid closed.

Never in Leo's existence had he experienced such a thing as wondrous as this. He did not want it to end, but she broke away too soon. Twilight glanced off to the side, while Leo. recovered from his stupor.

"That was..." Leo stammered.

"...nice," Twilight finished.

Neither of them said anything for a while.

"How about another dance?" Leo asked suddenly.

After dancing a few more songs, Twilight let out a yawn.

"Are you alright, my dear?" Asked Leo.

Twilight nodded. "I'm just tired. Can we go home now?"

Leo grinned at the fact that she had called his castle 'home' and scooped her into his arms. "Of course, my sweet."

They disappeared in a flash, along with the pavilion, returning it to the clearing it was before. They reappeared in front of Twilights bedroom.

"Do you want me to tuck you in?" Asked Leo.

"No, thank you," Twilight said, getting out of his arms. "Thank you for tonight. It was lovely."

Twilight surprised Leo with a kiss on the cheek. "Good night."

"Sleep well, my sweet," Leo said, putting a hand where she had kissed him.

She did not take his eyes off him until the door was shut. Leo then teleported to his room and cried, "Yes!"

He brought the bed down so it could catch him as he collapsed. He had just kissed the most beautiful girl in the world and she was one step closer to finally becoming his.

After replaying the events of the evening in his head, his grin slowly disappeared as realization hit him.

There was no use denying it anymore.

"I've fallen in love with her." Said Leo happily and then he fallen asleep.
