Just as she was calming down a bit, Fenris had to go and be flirty again. It was times like this she wished her mane was longer, so she could just droop her head and hide behind a curtain of hair. Right now she just had to manage with a shy smile and look away. So much for eye contact. It was his fault, anyway. Twilight noticed he was fidgeting around, his wings especially, but he asked her a question, so she focused on answering.
"Uh... Sure..." She said, cursing her self in her mind. She came off dreamily, and helplessly infatuated. It was embarrassing. She tried to make a recovery. "I mean, uh, thats great! I guess you can stop by here tomorrow and we can go?" Smooth Twilight, she thought sarcasticly. She felt like she was at the mercy of the gods with her blushing at this point, as there was absolutely nothing she could do to control it.

Fenris kept looking at Twilight as she blushed and couldn't help but smiling at the sight. He was feeling happy and he wasn't hiding it.
"Yeah, that sounds good." His thoughts turned to what he had planned.
"I'll come by around 7 in the evening if that's alright with you?" He tilted his head to the side wondering if he had forgot anything, he was also biting his lower lip slightly as he used to when trying to remember things.

"Yeah!" She said. "I... I guess i'll see you then." Twilight took a deep calming breath then leaned forward and wrapped a hoof around Fenris's neck, hugging him close. It was only a quick hug, however. "Bye Fenris." She nodded her head, smiling, in dismissal. Tomorrow would be an eventful day...

Fenris was too surprised to return the sudden hug Twilight gave him. His memory had been jogged and he now remembered what he would need to do before tomorrow. He smiled at Twilight as he picked up his saddlebags with the books he had chosen and walked to the door he opened it and then turned to Twilight.
"Bye Twilight, I'll see you tomorrow." He bowed to her slightly before heading out of the door closing it behind him.
He immediately took to his wings and headed towards his home as fast as he could. There were things he needed to get done and he didn't have too much time to get them done, but he didn't mind the prospect of tomorrow filled him with energy and joy.
Once home he threw himself into preparing tomorrow, he wanted it to be as good as possible...

The door closed, Fenris was gone. But only physically gone. Twilight spent the rest of the day thinking of him, scared she might mess up the following day. That night she got a long sleep. In the morning, she even went to the spa without anypony with her, she just wanted to look her best while still being casual.
As the minutes ticked away and the time for their date drew near she found herself pacing around the room. She sat down to read. Reading was normal. Reading was something she was good at. She opened a random book to find it was a romance novel. She put it away immediately. Not helping. She continued to wait in silence for his arrival, calming herself.

Fenris had gotten everything ready in time and even had some time to relax before he would need to get going, so he had decided to read for a while before heading to shower. After showering he picked up his saddlebags which he had packed in advance and started to trot towards the library. He wasn't flying as he wanted to have some more time to think before reaching the library.
When he arrived at the library he realised that he was a little early, but his thoughts were mostly clear. Hoping that Twilight wouldn't mind he walked up to the door and knocked on it. He had decided not to walk straight in and now stood on the doorstep waiting for response.

Twilight heard the knock and took a long, deep breath before moving towards the door. She reached a hoof to open the door and greet Fenris with a smile. "Hey Fenris." She said walking out the door into the crisp air. "Shall we go?"

Fenris smiled back at Twilight as she opened the door and turned around so that he was standing next to her.
"Good evening, Twilight." He took a step forwards and turned to look back at her.
"If you would follow me Miss Twilight." Fenris started walking towards the lake at a steady pace making sure he wasn't walking too fast.
He was thinking about what was happening and couldn't help his smile spreading wider and becoming warmer as he turned to glance at Twilight. There was spring in his step and he seemed almost be floating, though his wings stayed at his sides.
He found himself walking quite close to Twilight and while he wanted to get even closer he stayed back giving her the choice on the matter. He looked at Twilight again and knew that she was well worth waiting, even if it would be hard.

Twilight walked alongside Fenris, not really knowing the destination. She noticed Fenris trying to keep his distance. Probably because last time he got close to her she freaked out a bit. She decided to stay closer to Fenris on the way there. Her mind was alot more clear, and she was more comfortable with the thought by now.

There was a silence as they kept walking, but it was comfortable silence, so he didn't mind.
When he noticed the lake on the distance he turned to the bushes on the side of the road and pushed back few of the branches with his wings to reveal a path that went up towards a small hill on the side of the road.
"After you, m'lady." He said gesturing with his hoof for Twilight to go first.

Twilight walked up the path in anticipation. Once she got to the top, a smile spread across her face. The view reminded her of the one at Canterlot, albeit not quite as grand, but it still touched her heart. The setting sun reflected beautifully off the lake below, only adding to Twilight's smile. She stood taking it all in a moment before sitting down next to Fenris.
She looked to Fenris. She was going to ask him how he found this place until she realised he kind of could fly. "Thank you Fenris. This is such a nice view." She glanced out at it again, drawn to it. "It really reminds me of the view back at Canterlot... I used to sit by the window in the library while I read. Sometimes I even stayed late, just to watch the sun set..." She said, losing herself in happy memories.

Fenris slid the saddlebags he had been carrying off his back and sat down next to Twilight. He looked over at the lake then turning to see Twilight looking at him before she turned back to the lake. He chuckled a bit at how happy she looked and felt happy himself being able to make her feel like that. He chuckled again as Twilight talked about what she used to do back at Canterlot.
"Yeah, I remember seeing you do that... I did something like that myself, except I was usually at the roof of the library." He shook his head and grinned at Twilight.
"I was born in Canterlot and lived there until I recovered from the crash that got me these." He spread his wings for a moment the sunlight reflecting from them, before folding them back.
"I got into travelling after that and walked and flew across Equestria travelling where my hooves and wings took me." He turned his head to Twilight.
"And now... they have lead me here..." He smiled at her and then turned away to look at the sunset.
"I'm glad they did..." His voice trailing away slightly, but the happy and warm smile on his face stayed as he glanced at Twilight again.

Twilight at first was interested to hear Fenris lived in Canterlot. Then a little sad for Fenris's crash. Before she could ask any questions or say anything, peices began to fall together in her mind. Long faded memories of her past had been dusted off. Was it? Couldn't be. But then again... She looked Fenris closely in the eyes, looking beyond him even.
A collective blush began to form at her realisation. She just kind of sat there a moment, looking in his eyes, afraid to ask until sheer curiosity pushed her onwards. "You didn't happen to frequent the inside of that library as well as the roof, would you?" She asked, trying to be vague just in case she was mistaken, but there was no doubt at this point in her mind that it was him.
He was the same colt that she had liked back in Canterlot.

Fenris looked at Twilight seeing the slight hesitation before she asked her question, he though how cute she looked while blushing feeling a blush of his own starting to form. He kept his eyes on her as he answered.
"Yes, I actually did. I think I was one of the few pegasi that did. Though I might have visited more often than strictly necessary..." He snapped his mouth shut, his blush intensifying, he hadn't meant to say that last part it just had slipped off of his tongue.
He looked away from Twilight towards the lake, thinking what he should do. He felt his eyes wandering back towards Twilight and lifted his head steeling himself for what he was about to do. He turned back to Twilight with determination in his eyes.
"Twilight... do you remember your first crush?"

Twilight had hoped she could blush as little as possible on the date. So much for that. At least she wasnt the only one she thought, chancing a glance at Fenris. She used the lake as an excuse not to look at Fenris. It was him... She couldn't believe it. What were the chances? Was it destiny? No... Destiny was just a fancy word for luck.
Fenris's question made Twilight want to shy away. She knew what he was doing. Still, she couldn't just pretend she hadn't heard him. "Well..." She said, forcing her blushing self to make eye contact. "There was this one colt... I liked him for a long time, but I never had the courage to even talk to him..." Twilight had been avoiding much detail to lessen embarrassment. "I remember he used to go to the library alot." She said shyly.
