Garrett had just dried up from the shower, and was starting to get dressed. After he showed Twilight the graves of his family, Twilight told her parents, and they immediately wanted to meet Garrett. She told him that he was invited to have dinner with her, her parents, and her brother Shining Armor and his wife Cadence. Sort of a date, but a get to know you type of dinner. That was days ago, and this is now, which was why Garrett took a shower. He then dressed up in his best dress clothes he could find. He looked at himself in the mirror, wearing his glasses, a blue collared dress shirt, grey dress pants, and black dress socks. He held two ties, a polka dot tie on his left hand, and a red zip-on tie on his right hand. He was debating with himself which tie to wear. He wanted to make a good first impression on Twilight's family. He thought the polka dot tie seemed too silly. But he also thought the zip-on tie seemed lazy, even though, to be honest, Garrett was rather laid back. They probably wouldn't be able to tell it was a zip-on tie anyway, and he thought it paired well with his blue dress shirt, like Superman or Spider-Man. He shrugged and put on his tie. He then put on his black leather belt, and combed his hair. "Like Pop always said, first impressions always matter," Garrett said to himself as he then put on his black dress shoes.

Garrett's phone rang. He looked at the phone, and saw it was from Twilight. He smiled and picked it up. "Hey babe," he said, "Yeah, I'm mostly ready. All dressed. Oh yeah, I'm dressed in my best. Want me to bring you anything in particular? Well, I'll surprise you. I'll be there soon. I'm sure whatever your mom's going to make will be delicious. I love you too babe. See you at your home, bye." He hung up and smiled, then he got his keys and wallet, and put that in his pockets, alongside his cellphone. He then put on his black coat, slightly zipping up, then he got his motorcycle helmet. He went outside his apartment, locking the door behind him as he closed it. He walked to his Trike, which he called Stark, and put on his helmet. He got on Stark, and rode away. He stopped at a flower shop to buy flowers. He bought Twilight's favorite flowers, and also her mom's favorite type of flowers, from what Twilight described to Garrett. He held the flowers, as he rode on Stark, and was outside of Twilight's neighborhood. He parked in a parking spot where most motorcycles usually parked. "How convenient," said Garrett as he took off his helmet, and stood up, placing the helmet down. He then went to Twilight's house, checking his breath. "Guess it doesn't smell bad..." Garrett said to himself, the flowers held behind his back. He was outside the door, and breathed out, nervous. He then knocked on the door. "It's probably him, I'll get it!" Garrett could hear Twilight say. She then opened the door, surprising Garrett! Her hair was curled nicely, and she wasn't wearing her glasses, therefore, Garrett could see her violet eyes. She was wearing earrings and a lovely necklace. She wore an evening dress that was a dark purple, and silver open toed high heeled shoes. Garrett was slack-jawed.

"Hey Garrett," she said, smiling

"Hey Garrett," she said, smiling. "Sweet Christmas Twilight, you look gorgeous!" Garrett blurted out, regaining his ability to speak. Twilight blushed and giggled, "Thanks babe. You look just as handsome." Garrett blushed and said, "I gotta say, I've never seen you without your glasses before..." Twilight smiled and said, "Yeah, I decided to try contacts tonight. What do you think?" Garrett blushed and said, "Well, now I can see your eyes.... You have beautiful eyes." Twilight giggled and said, "Why thank you. I like your tie. It pairs well with your shirt. Kind of like Spider-Man." Garrett giggled like an idiot. Once his train of thought came back, Garrett asked, "May I please come in?" Twilight nodded and said, "You may." Garrett then went in, closing the door behind him. Garrett then pulled out the flowers and said, "I got you your favorite flowers. And your mom's favorite flowers too." Twilight took the flowers, and happily said, "That's so sweet of you Garrett!" Twilight's mom then popped out of the kitchen, and said, "My favorite flowers? How did you know??" Twilight giggled and said, "I told him Mom. Garrett, this is my mom, Twilight Velvet. Mom, this is my boyfriend, Garrett Shimmer." Garrett smiled and shook Velvet's hand and said, "Hello Mrs. Sparkle, it's nice to meet you." Velvet beamed and replied, "It's nice to meet you as well. Please, you can call me Velvet. You're just as handsome as Twilight said. And a gentleman." Garrett blushed and said, "Well thank you Velvet."
