Hey everypony, guess what! It's the 25th of September and It's my Birthday today :D

I'm now 17, somepony call Pinkie Pie! XD

I've managed to get this chapter done in time for this day, I'm glad too.

I had to change some of the lyrics in both of the songs I used in this chapter so they would match the story.

This is the first chapter in the story to have 2 songs.

Warning: Long chapter.

Chapter 29: At the Gala

It's been a weak since I assisted the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and it was finally time for the Grand Galloping Gala.

Of cause, I had to apologize to Derpy for what happened. But she said she wasn't upset with me and she's still my biggest fan.

Road towards Canterlot

It was a cool night; the cloudless sky was filled with bright stars and Luna's full moon shined down on us.

Twilight had used her magic to make a carriage out of an apple, and Rarity had no problem using her charm to persuade two colts to pull the carriage for us.

I was sitting in the carriage with Twilight and the rest of the main 6. I was wearing the same tuxedo that I wore to the Ponyville dance, and Twilight and the others were wearing their original Gala dresses. And if I may say, they all looked stunningly beautiful, especially Twilight.

Peewee was sitting beside me and he was wearing a small black bow tie, Jeff was wearing a black bow tie as well but he was outside with Spike.

Spike was wearing a tuxedo as well; he was once again outside sitting on the driver's seat as our coachman, or in this case a coach-dragon. Jeff was sitting beside him, but they kept arguing over who should drive; which eventually lead to the two fighting, but we just ignored it.

I had what I bought for Twilight hidden in my tux pocket, I quietly patted it with my hoof as I listened to Twilight and the others talk about the Gala.

"This is gonna be so much fun." Pinkie Pie said with excitement.

"Yeah, but I hope this goes better than last time. I didn't sell much back then; all I sold was an apple-pie and two apple-fritters." Applejack stated.

Rarity gave her an honest smile. "Not to worry, Applejack. We'll each bye something from your stand when we're ready. Right?" she said before we all nodded.

"Well, I know my time here will go better. Since the race in Cloudsdale, I've become more connected with the Wonderbolts. They're bound to hang out with me this year." Rainbow Dash said.

"And I'm sure the Princess will find some time for us to spend together. We never got to talk much last time." Twilight added.

As the girls talked amongst themselves, I was staying quiet while feeling nervous about my plans with Twilight. "How am I gonna do this? We'll have to go somewhere private so we can be alone, of cause. But it's how I'm gonna get her alone which is the problem, she'll probably want to spend some time with Celestia first. I'll have to wait for the right time, I guess." I thought.

Suddenly, I felt the carriage come to a stop; meaning we had arrived at Canterlot. The carriage door opened; revealing Spike behind it before he stepped aside to let us out, Jeff was on his shoulder. Twilight and the others were the first to exit the carriage before I followed with Peewee on my back.

Once I was out of the carriage, I looked at the castle as fireworks shot out from the roofs and exploded high in the sky. "Whow, this is even better than how it was in the show." I said quietly to myself.

Applejack then started walking down the path towards the castle before she looked back at us. "Come on, ya'all! We got a party to get to." She said in an excited tone before she continued walking.

Everypony began to follow her accept for Twilight; I walked up beside Twilight and she turned her head to see the smirk on my face. "Shall we?" I said.

Twilight then giggled slightly. "We shall." She said before we both followed the others by each other's side.

Canterlotcastle grounds

As Twilight and I walked through the main gates of the castle, we saw that Rover, Fido and Spot were standing beside the front double doors of the castle. They apparently were in charge of checking the tickets before anypony entered, they were each wearing a red bell-hop hat and I couldn't help but snicker at the sight of them.

The rest of the main 6, Spike, Jeff and Peewee give their tickets to Rover and they walked inside the castle. Me and Twilight then walked up to Rover before he looked down at me with a raised eye brow. "Oh, it's you again."

"Yeah, it's me." I said before I looked up at his hat. "Hey nice hat, you like a douche." I said with a smirk.

Rover then gave me a small glare as he crossed him arms. "Nice tux, you look like a penguin."

I narrowed my eyes at him once I heard that. "Touché." I commented. We then gave Rover our tickets and he let us pass into the castle.

"Why are we wearing these things again?" Spot asked as he pointed up to his hat.

"Lord Discord says we're supposed to look fancy." Rover groaned in annoyance before he returned his focus back to his duty.

Meanwhile: Luna's room in the castle

In one of the high towers of the castle, Luna was in her room. When Luna would have to stay the night in Canterlot, she would sleep in the quest rooms that Celestia kept just for her. It was Luna's own personal room at the castle.

Luna was standing in front of a large round mirror that hung up on the wall while using her magic to levitate a different dress on each side of her. One of them was a glittery dark blue dress, while the other was a glittery gold dress.

She hovered the dark blue dress in front of her and looked in the mirror to see how she would look in it; she then moved it aside and hovered the gold dress in front of her. "Which one? Which one?" she said out loud to herself.

"Well, I never thought I'd see something like this." A voice said behind Luna which caused her to drop the dresses; she turned around to see Celestia standing by the doorway.

Luna grew slightly worried that she had been there the whole time she was getting ready. "Sister…err…how long have you been standing there?" she asked.

Celestia grinned before she walked up to Luna. "Long enough….I must say sister, there have been many Galas in the past and I've never seen you this eager to attend one. Why is this one so special that you must dress up for it? Is there something about it you're not telling me?" she asked with the grin still on her face.

Luna then became nervous and blushed as she started to sweat slightly. "Well…I just feel that I should look my best for tonight, I didn't attend most of the Galas in the past and I want to make a good impression for my subjects." She said hoping Celestia would believe her.

Celestia's grin then turned into a warm smile. "Well then, I shouldn't keep you distracted. I'll leave you to get ready." She said before she turned around and walked towards the door. Once she reached the door way, she looked back at Luna.

"I'll see you down in the Ballroom." Celestia said before she walked out the room and used her magic to close the door behind her; leaving Luna alone in the room.

Luna then exhaled in relief that Celestia didn't figure out why she really wanted to dress up for the Gala, she looked back at her mirror before she used her magic to levitate the glittery dark blue dress up off the floor and hover it in front of her. She looked at herself closely and was finally satisfied.

"I hope Matthew likes this one." She said to herself before she walked behind the moveable screen next to her mirror, so she could get dressed without being seen by anypony who might enter her room unannounced.

Meanwhile: Castle lobby

Me and Twilight entered the lobby to see the room had a bunch of high-class ponies in fancy outfits wondering around and talking to each other, Me and Twilight then walked up to the long set of stairs and looked up to see Celestia standing at the very top of them. We then walked up to her to greet her.

Once Celestia noticed us, she smiled in delight. "Twilight, Matthew, I'm so glad to see you both could make it."

I then smiled back. "It's nice to see you too, Princess. We've been looking forward to this night for some time."

"I hope we get some time to catch up of things, Princess. We never got the chance to talk last time." Twilight said.

Celestia giggled as the memories of that night came back to her. "Not to worry, Twilight. I'm sure we'll get to talk once I've finished greeting the other guests." She said before she looked around the room.

Celestia then looked back down at us with a raised eye brow. "Where are all your friends? I hope they made it."

I then raised my hoof up. "Don't worry, Princess! They're around somewhere."

Celestia's smile then returned. "Wonderful, I hope you can all liven up the place like last time."

I then grinned. "Oh, I have something that'll do that. But it'll have to wait until later." I said before Celestia nodded, I Then looked around the room. "Speaking of guys who can liven things up, where's Discord?" I asked.

"….I don't really know, I haven't seen him since earlier today." Celestia said. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and Discord appeared beside Celestia.

"No need to worry, I'm here." Discord said, he was wearing a black tuxedo coat and a black bow tie like I was.

"Hello Discord, we haven't seen you in some time, how've you been?" Twilight asked.

Discord smiled down at me. "I've been great; those Diamond Dogs have proven to be very helpful assistance. Thanks to that whole worshiping me thing, they'll do anything I ask."

"That's cool, Discord! Anyway, we should go see what the others are up to, we'll see you two later." I said before Twilight and I walked back down the stairs and out into the gardens.

Once we were gone, Discord turned his head to face Celestia with a smirk. "So Celestia, would you like to explore the Gala a bit? I'll be more than happy to be your escort" he said.

"I can't, Discord. I have to stay here and greet the guests." Celestia said.

Discord then gave her an honest smile. "Oh come on, Celestia! You work so hard every day, you deserve a night to have fun."

"I'm not sure, Discord. What about the rest of the guests? They'll be expecting someone to greet them when they come in." Celestia said.

Discord then grinned. "Not to worry, I've got that covered." He then snapped his fingers and Spot appeared in a flash of light.

Spot looked around in confusion. "Wha-…how'd I get here?" he asked.

Spot then noticed Discord in front of him. "Spot, I have a very important task for you." he then pointed to where Celestia was standing with his lion hand. "I want you to stand in that very spot. When a new guest comes up the stairs, shake their hoof and politely say hello! Can you do that?" he asked as he crossed his arms.

Spot then saluted up to Discord. "Yes, Lord Discord. I will stand here all night if I have to."

Celestia then rubbed her chin with her hoof. "Well…if he can handle it, then I guess there's no harm in finishing early." She then placed her hoof back on the floor. "Very well, Discord! I'll join you in the Gala."

"Wonderful." Discord cheered before he and Celestia went down the stairs side-by-side; leaving Spot at the top of the stairs.

At that moment, two high-class ponies walked up the stairs and approached Spot. The male high-class pony then held his hoof out before Spot grabbed it and shook it. "Hello." He said as a green fog flowed out of his mouth.

The high-class ponies the sniffed the air and gagged in sickness before they galloped back down the stairs.

Spot was confused until he breathed on his hand and sniffed it. "Well…that solves that mystery." He said to himself.

Meanwhile: Castle gardens

Me and Twilight had found Rarity, Spike, Jeff, Peewee and Applejack in the gardens. Like last time, Applejack was standing behind her apple booth. We had already joined up with them and Jeff was on my back while Peewee was on Spike's shoulder.

"So Applejack, is your sale going better than last time?" Twilight asked.

Applejack nodded. "Yep, I've already sold two apple-fritters, one apple-pie and one apple-dumplin'. I don't know why, but I'm doin' so much better this year." She said with joy.

I smiled at her. "Good for you, Applejack! By the way, can I have one of those bottles of apple-juice?" I asked. I don't normally drink apple-juice, but there wasn't really much to drink and I wanted to help Applejack.

"'cause ya can, Matt. That'll be two bits." Applejack said. I then reach my snout into my pocket and pull out two coins in my mouth, I then placed them in the wooden bucket beside the booth and Applejack gave me a yellow glass bottle with a picture of an apple on it.

I managed to get the cap off before I placed my mouth around the top of the bottle and tilted my head up; causing the juice inside to pour into my mouth and down my throat, I continued to do this until the bottle was empty.

Once the bottle was empty, I place it on the ground before took my mouth of the bottle head and tasted the flavour.

After a second, I realised that it actually tasted good. I smiled in amazement. "Hmm…that was kinda good." I said.

"Well I'm glad ya liked it, Matt." Applejack said with a smile.

While we were talking, Rarity looked down at Spike beside her. "Alright, Twilight said that I should ask him whether or not he's my admirer…even though she still has no idea that I suspect Spike. Maybe this is the best time to ask him, but should I ask him up front? I should probably steer the answer out of him somehow." She thought.

"Emm…So Spike, what have you been up to lately? I mean, I haven't seen you since you ran out of my shop in a hurry." Rarity said hoping he wouldn't grow suspicious of her question.

Spike then looked up at her and became stunned in what to say. Lately he was secretly working on a new poem for her. But he couldn't say that, because then she would know that he was her admirer. "I've…err…I've been…err…"

Jeff then noticed his situation and grew a devious grin; he then flew down and landed beside Spike. "Go on, Spike! Tell the lovely lady what you've been doin'!" he said tapping his elbow into Spike's arm.

Spike then turned his head to Jeff and gave him a small glare, he then turned his attention back to Rarity. "Well…I've been doing a lot of things…things like…errr."

As Spike was beginning to sweat, Rarity was still waiting for an answer. I then also noticed Spike's situation and thought of a way to steal Rarity's attention. "Hey, Rarity." I quickly said; causing her to turn her head to face me.

I opened my mouth to say something before I got stumped. "Oh crap, now what do I say?" I thought.

I then came up with something. "Hey err…you know who I really hope isn't here?...those two high-class ponies we met when we were staying in the castle. What were their names again?" I said before I started tapping my head with my hoof as I thought hard.

After a second, their names returned to me. "Jet Set and Uppercrust, that was their names." I said to Rarity.

Rarity then nodded in agreement. "Oh yes, even though I respect their high society ways, I too hope they're not here. We could do without their criticism ruining our night." She said.

Just then, Rarity's eyes widened as she gasped loudly, I was confused by this until I turned my head around to see what she was looking at. I was then surprised to see Prince Blueblood walking towards us with his eyes closed and his nose up, I was already sick just looking at him.

"Speaking of ponies we don't like." I groaned; causing Twilight and the others to become curious before they then turned around to also see Blueblood.

I then looked back to Rarity to see her turn her face away with her nose up high and her eyes closed. "Just ignore him!...and maybe he'll go away." She said.

Anger boiled inside Spike as he glared at Blueblood while Jeff looked at him with a raised eye brow. "Who's this Yahoo?"

I looked down at Jeff. "That's Prince Blueblood, he's Celestia's nephew. Except he's nothing like her, he's rude and spoiled. To put it in better words, he's a complete asshole." I said before I turned my attention back on Blueblood.

"Oh." Was Jeff's only response before he continued to watch Blueblood come closer.

Blueblood then stopped beside us and observed Applejack's booth. "Oh, is this waggon of peasant food here again? The Gala is certainly going downhill." He said; causing Applejack the grit her teeth while giving him a hatful look.

Blueblood then noticed Rarity with her head faced away from him, but he didn't turn his head away from her. "Miss Rarity!" He greeted maturely.

"….Prince Blueblood!..." Rarity greeted back with her head still facing away from him.

We all just watched as Blueblood walked up in front of Rarity. "Miss Rarity, I would just want to apologize for what happened last year." He said.

Rarity then grew curious of what he was saying and turned her head back forward to face him. "Oh?..."

I too was starting to grow curious. "I understand that there was some minor…behaviour…problems between us. But as mature ponies, I'm sure we can forget all about it and move on." Blueblood said.

Rarity then let out a small sigh as she looked down at the ground. "Well…I suppose, it did happen a while ago."

"Is Blueblood actually apologizing to Rarity for how he treated her at the last Gala? I never thought I'd see him do something like this." I thought as I watched them.

"And I'm sure you didn't mean to allow your rudeness to ruin our night." Blueblood said.

"Like I said, complete asshole." I thought as my hatred for Blueblood returned and I gave him another sharp glare.

Twilight, Applejack, Jeff and Peewee had shocked looks on their faces, while Spike was grinding his teeth in anger with his fists clenched.

Once she heard what Blueblood said, Rarity's left eye twitched slightly before her stunned look turned into and angered one. "My rudeness?...MY RUDENESS? How in any way was I rude that night?" she yelled in anger.

"Well you did yell at me before you got cake all over my newly groomed coat." Blueblood argued.

"Only because YOUR spoiled behaviour caused me to blow my fuse, especially when you used me as a shield and got cake all over my fabulous dress. Do you know how hard it was to clean this? If anypony was rude that night, it was you." Rarity snapped.

Blueblood gave her a slightly angered look. "Well, you wanted me to do things for you. Open doors, pay for peasant food, and other things. I'm royalty; you should do those things for me."

Rarity scoffed. "Well I never. You sire, Are the most spoiled, self-centred Prince I've ever had the misfortune to meet in all my life."

"And it's that type of attitude that proves you don't belong in Canterlot." Blueblood snapped.

We all gasped loudly at what we just heard, Rarity's angered look faded into a small frown. "W-What?"

"Canterlot ponies are civilised in high-society, you are nothing like that. I've heard how you were once accepted as a popular pony, but I call that dumb-luck. If you ask me, you don't deserve to be a Canterlot pony at all." Blueblood stated.

Rarity just stood there in silence with a shocked look on her face. I couldn't stand by and watch this happen, so I walked up behind Blueblood. "Hey buddy! I was going to stay out of this, but you just crossed the line. Rarity's more of a Canterlot pony then you'll ever be." I said in a firm voice.

Blueblood turned his head around to look at me before he raised his eye brow. "I wasn't speaking to you."

"I don't care, Rarity's my friend and I'm not going to just stand by while you say all these horrible things to her." I said while still glaring at him.

Blueblood rolled his eyes. "I don't have time for this; I'm going away for some peace and quiet." He said before he walked away with his nose in the air.

"Dick!" I growled under my breath before I decided to forget about him and focused on Rarity, I looked at her to see her ears were down slightly.

I walked up to her and placed my hoof on her shoulder. "Hey…are you alright?..." I asked in a quiet voice.

Rarity didn't answer, Twilight then walked up to us. "Rarity?" she said in a concerned voice.

"I-I'm fine…can we please go inside to the Ballroom now?" Rarity asked.

Twilight gave her a sweet smile. "Of cause we can, come on!" she said sweetly as she walked up beside Rarity before they both walked away.

"Wait! I'll come with ya." I said before I grabbed my empty apple juices bottle in my mouth and followed them.

We all then headed towards the double-doors that lead inside to the Ballroom, I threw my empty bottle into a trash can along the way. Unknown to us, one of Rarity's glass slippers fell off her hoof and was left behind.

"Rarity looks mighty down, so I think I'll just wrap this up and join'em." Applejack said before she walked around to the front of her booth and kicked it with one of her front hooves, the booth then closed up until it became a box on wheel-stands.

Applejack then walked to one side of it and started to gently push it with her head as she followed us. Applejack then stopped and looked back at Spike, Jeff and Peewee. "Ya'all comin'?"

Spike put his hand up. "We'll catch up." he said with a small smile. Applejack then nodded before she continued to follow us while pushing her booth.

Jeff then looked at Spike with a confused look. "Soooo, why aren't we goin' with'em?" he asked.

Spike then looked over across the gardens to see Blueblood (who was talking to a group of high-class ponies) and glared sharply. "Because I want to have a word with a curtain spoiled Prince."

Jeff then went wide-eyed in shock. "Spike, don't do something you're gonna regret!"

Spike ignored Jeff as he started storming over to Blueblood, Jeff then grabbed Spike's tail in his wings in an attempt to stop him, but ended up being dragged along by the angered dragon.

"Spike, wait!...I understand that you're mad, but you're a small dude, and he's a big royal dude. Who knows what he's allowed to do to you." Jeff warned, soil piled up against his talons as he was being dragged.

Spike finally reached behind Blueblood and poked his finger into one of his hind-legs. "Hey, Prince guy." Spike said aggressively.

Blueblood then turned his head around and looked down at Spike; he then turned the rest of his body around to get a better angle. "Do I know you?"

"No, but I have a bone to pick with you. How dare you say all those terrible things to Rarity." Spike said while glaring up at him.

Meanwhile, Rarity came back into the gardens while looking at the ground. "Now, I must have left it somewhere." She said to herself.

Rarity then saw her glass slipper up ahead and she walked up to it. "Ah, here it is." She said before she slipped her hoof into the slipper. "How do these things keep falling off?" she asked herself.

At that moment, she heard voices from across the gardens and looked over to see Spike in front of Blueblood. "What is he doing?" she asked herself before she listened in on them.

"Little dragon, I don't know why you care so much for Miss Rarity. But if you ask me-" Blueblood said before he was interrupted by Spike.

"I wasn't asking you anything, and you're wrong about Rarity. I don't care who you are, or what you think of her. To me, she's the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful pony in all of Equestria, and she deserves to be a Canterlot pony more then you ever will. If she was my date for the Gala, I'd treat her like the princess she is. I'd do anything for her. I wouldn't treat her the way you did, and I certainly wouldn't use her as a shield to protect myself from incoming cake." Spike said in a firm voice.

Rarity was some-what touched by Spike's words and continued watching him stand up for her.

Blueblood gave Spike a slightly shocked look. "This is ridicules." He stated.

"No, what's ridicules is your behaviour towards other ponies besides yourself. You're a selfish, self-centred jerk, and a disgrace to Princes everywhere. Now, you're gonna go find Rarity and apologize to her!" Spike ordered.

"Who are you to order me to do something? I'm not afraid of you." Blueblood stated.

Spike crossed his arms. "Oh really, then maybe I should tell Princess Celestia about how you've been speaking to Rarity tonight. Remember? Your aunt."

Blueblood then started to pay attention to what Spike was saying. "Because you know, Rarity is friends with the Princess. I bet she wouldn't be happy when I tell her what you said to Rarity." Spike said with a devious smirk.

Blueblood then grew slightly frightened. "You…wouldn't actually do that…would you?" he asked.

Spike then tapped his chin. "Hmm…depends, are you gonna apologize to Rarity, and admit to her that she does deserve to be a Canterlot pony if she wants to?"

Blueblood nodded. "V-Very well, I'll apologise to Miss Rarity when I see her again." he said in defeat before he let out a sigh. "Well played, dragon."

Spike smile in satisfaction. "I know." He said proudly before he turned around and walked away from Blueblood.

Jeff and Peewee then came up beside Spike. "Nice move, Spike. If only Rarity could see you now." Peewee said.

"Yeah, you rocked, dude. I didn't know you had it in ya to stand up to a Prince." Jeff added.

"Well, nopony upsets Rarity the way he did. I stood up to him for her." Spike said.

Peewee then flew up and landed on Spike's shoulder. "Well I'm proud of you; it takes a lot of guts to talk to a Prince like that. And I bet the others would be proud too."

Spike then gave him a small smile. "Yeah…anyway, we should join up with the others! They'll be wondering where we are." He said before he ran off towards the Ballroom with Peewee on his shoulder and Jeff flying behind.

As they left, Rarity stepped out from behind a bush (which she had been hiding behind to avoid being seen by Spike). She had a stunned look on her face as she watched Spike disappear into the castle.

"I…don't believe it…Spike just stood up for me against Prince Blueblood. He yelled right in his face, he could have gotten in a lot of trouble for that…and he was willing to take the punishment…for me?" Rarity said to herself.

A sweet smile then grew on Rarity's as she continued. "He said all those things about me…I've never heard anypony say such loving things about me before." Rarity's eyes then widened slightly.

"Then…it must be true, Spike is my secret admirer..." Rarity said to herself as she became more stunned by this shocking fact. "I…I don't know what to do, should I tell him I know? Should I talk to him about it?" she asked to herself.

Rarity had no idea on what to do next; she had just learned that one of her closest friends has a crush on her. Sure she liked Spike, but she had never thought of him as anything more than a friend…until now. She didn't have anything wrong with Spike having a crush on her; it just seemed like a huge surprise for her. She then made her final decision.

"Maybe I should just…keep this to myself and see where it leads." She said to herself before she slowly walked towards the Ballroom while looking down at the ground in thought about what she was going to do next.

Later: Castle Ballroom

It got later into the night and Me, Twilight, the rest of the main 6, Spike, Jeff and Peewee were all together in the Ballroom.

For some reason, Blueblood had apologized to Rarity for what he said before and was now somewhere else in the castle; which was good, because I didn't want to see that dick for the rest of the night.

There weren't many other ponies with us though. In fact, the Ballroom was half empty. I counted them all and there were only 19 other ponies in the room, they were all in small groups around the room so there was a large amount of space to walk around in.

Me, Twilight and the others were in different parts around the room.

Rainbow Dash had been invited to the VIP section to hang out with Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts. And as I could see, they were actually hanging out this time. Must have had something to do with the cloud race we were in.

Applejack decided to sell her supplies on a large empty table next to the refreshment tables on the other side of the room; she had already sold a few of her supplies, including another apple-pie to Soarin'….what is it with this guy and pie?

Pinkie Pie had been trying to do what she did last time, she was trying to make the other quests party like how we would back in Ponyville. This didn't approve to most of them.

After many failed attempts to get the animals to like her, Fluttershy decided to give up and join us. She felt as though she didn't have the chance to be with Twilight and the others last time, so this time she was going to spend the night with us.

Rarity was now feeling much better and she was enjoying herself. For some reason though, she kept staring down at Spike. She also quickly turned away every time he looked up at her.

After Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike and Peewee left, Me and Twilight were left alone in the centre of the room; Jeff was on Twilight's back.

As we looked around the Ballroom, there were many failure faces that we recognized in the room. Like Hoity Toity, Photo Finish, Sapphire Shores and Fancypants with Fleur de Lis by his side. We had already spoken to Fancypants and he was glad to see us again.

Twilight then looked over to the doorway that lead to the next and smiled in delight to see Celestia and Discord walk into the room. Twilight then started walking towards them before I noticed her walking away from me and I started following her.

Once we reached them, Celestia smiled down at us. "Well, I was wondering where you two disappeared too. How do you like the Gala so far?" she asked.

"It's great, Princess. It's going much better than last year." Twilight said with a large smile.

Discord snickered. "I bet it has, Celestia told me about what happen last year. I can't believe Fluttershy actually went crazy with anger because all the animals kept running away from her."

I chuckled. "Yeah, that was kinda crazy." I said.

Jeff looked at me with a raised eye brow. "Wait! Fluttershy went crazy here last year? Why doesn't anypony tell me these things?"

Jeff then walked up along Twilight's back until he was on top of her head. "Come on, Twi. Tell me what happened! And don't skip out on the details!" he said as he patted her head with his foot.

I just rolled my eyes. "Want me to get you some Punch, Twi?" I asked.

Twilight then turned her head to face me. "Oh Matt, you don't have to do that for me."

I smiled at her and held my hoof up. "No, it's alright, I'll get some." I said.

Twilight then gave me a sweet smile. "Well, ok then. I'll be waiting for you here."

As Twilight began to tell Jeff about what happened last year, I walked away from them to find the Punch bowl. After looking around the room for a minute, I saw the Punch bowl on the refreshment table next to Applejack's table.

As I walked up to the table, I saw Fluttershy talking to Applejack. But instead of focusing on them, I focused on the Punch bowl in front of me. It was made out of glass, the Punch inside was red and it had a metal ladle dipped in it.

I then pulled a glass cup towards me before I grabbed the handle of the ladle with my mouth and pulled it out of the bowl; creating ripples in the Punch filled bowl.

After I poured the small amount of Punch into the glass cup, I was about to put the ladle back before I looked into the bowl noticed something in the rippling water.

There was two bright red blurs in the water. As the ripples cleared, they were starting to come into focus. Once the ripples were gone, I saw that the two blurs were two glowing red eyes looking evilly at me.

"Maaattheeew!" a dark male voice said in a ghostly whisper.

I flinched back as I let out a small but loud yell of fright; causing the ladle to drop out of my mouth and onto the floor. My yell attracted the attention of some of the ponies in the room, including Applejack and Fluttershy. "Errr…you alright, sugar cube?" Applejack asked with a concerned look.

I looked at her for a quick moment before I looked back into the Punch bowl to see there was nothing there, the water was completely normal. "Emm…Matt?" I heard Fluttershy say.

I didn't take my eyes off the water. "Yeah, I'm fine…I thought I just saw….never mind." I said before I grabbed the small glass of Punch with one of my front hooves and managed to walk away on only three legs. Applejack and Fluttershy were still worried about me.

Once I saw Twilight up ahead, I noticed Spike and Peewee standing beside Twilight. They must have joined us while I was gone. I walked up to Twilight and held the drink out to her. "Here you go, Twi." I said with a smile.

Despite my smile, the thought of what I just saw haunted my mind. Those terrifying eyes, that dark voice, Maybe I was seeing things…I hope I was. The thought of it made me tremble in fright which made my arm tremble; causing me to shake the glass slightly.

Twilight turned her head to face me and looked down at her drink; she used her magic to take it before she noticed my hoof shaking. She then looked at me with a concerned look. "Matt, are you ok?" She asked.

I snapped out of my train of thought and nodded my head. "Yeah, I'm alright." I said.

Twilight raised her eye brow. "Then why are you sha-"

"Hey, so where's Luna? Is she joining us?" I quickly asked interrupting Twilight, also trying to change the subject.

Celestia looked around the room. "I know she's here, I just don't know where. I haven't seen her since I checked up on her in her room when the Gala started."

"I hope we see her soon, it's getting late." Twilight said.

At that moment, something caught Discord's eye and he turned his head to look across the room. His eyes widened slightly. "Err…you guys may want to see this." He said without taking his eyes away from whatever caught his eye.

Twilight, Celestia, Spike, Jeff and Peewee all turned their heads in the direction that Discord was facing and they gasped. I was curious about what they were looking at so I turned my head to see what all the fuss was about.

My eyes widened slightly to see Luna walking across the room towards us. She was wearing a dark blue glittery dress, her shoes were a brighter sliver, and her neck piece was also silver instead of black. (Much like Celestia's mane), the fringe of Luna's mane covered her left eye.

"She's….beautiful." Twilight said in awe.

"Yeah…she is." I said in agreement with my eyes wide at the sight of Luna.

Luna then finally reached us and Celestia stepped forward. "Luna, you look so beautiful." She said.

Luna gave her a warm smile. "Thank you, sister." She said before she looked over to me. "Matthew, what do you think?" she said as she showed off her dress.

"You look amazing, Luna. What's the occasion?" I asked.

Luna's eyes widened slightly as she became nervous. "What do I tell him? I can't say I dressed up tonight to impress him. Think Luna!" she thought before she came up with something.

"Err…the Gala, of cause. I just thought I'd dress for it…you don't mind, do you?" Luna asked as she nervously rubbed her left hoof against her right arm.

"Of cause not, I think that dress really suits you." I said with a warm smile; causing Luna to blush deeply.

As Luna was starting to settle in with the group, I heard a noise from across the room and I looked over to it to see Pinkie Pie doing what she did last year, she was lifting other ponies onto her back and tossing them into the air to try and get them into the party mood.

Discord saw this and he laughed. "Haha, oh Pinkie Pie, you always know how to crack me up. Hahaha." He laughed while holding his stomach.

Discord then calmed down and looked down at us. "At least somepony is trying to make this Gala more interesting. No offence, but this party is really dull. I mean, just listen to the music!"

We all took his word and listened to the music being played by the musicians on the large stage on the other side of the room, they were playing fancy high-class music. "Not that I have a huge problem with it, but it could be a little better and livelier." Discord stated as he crossed his arms.

Celestia took a moment to think before she leaned her head closer to Discord. "Agreed." She whispered to him before she pulled her head back.

At that moment, Celestia looked down at me and a grin grew on her face, she the lowered her head down to me. "You know, Matthew. This could be a good time to…liven things up a bit." she said in a sly voice.

"Twilight once sent me a letter saying that you had something planned to do so." Celestia said.

I then smirked up at her. "Oh we have something planned, but it depends on when you want us to do it."

"Well, now's good." Celestia said while smirking back.

I then looked over to Jeff who was still on Twilight's back and we both grinned at each other, I then looked down at Spike. "Ready, Spike?" I asked.

Spike nodded. "You bet." He answered. Jeff then flew onto my back before we all made our way towards the stage. Twilight, Luna, Peewee, Celestia and Discord watched us in wonder as we walked away.

Once we got to the stage, we climbed onto it and I saw the musician pony who I recognized as Octavia playing her Cello. I then walked up to her and she noticed me, she stopped playing as I whispered in her ear. "Hey, can we borrow the stage for a minute?" I asked politely.

Octavia then looked at me for a moment before she nodded, she and all the other musicians then walked off the stage with their instalments before I walked up to the microphone on a stand.

I then tapped it with my hoof; causing a loud betting noise which attracted the attention of the rest of the main 6 and every high-class pony in the room, Rainbow Dash even took interest and came out from the VIP section to see what was going on.

She and the rest of the main 6 all gathered up with Twilight, Luna and the others as they all watched us on stage with wonder.

Jeff then flew up onto my head and leaded his head towards the mike. "Alright everypony, listen up! We're gonna liven things up a bit to get this party really started." He announced. The high-class ponies watched us with wide eyes while Twilight and the others watched us with interest.

Spike the found a Bongo-drum set and pulled it closer to him before he started beating them in a rhythm with his hands. I heard this and I instantly knew we were about to start. "Alright everypony…let's get this party STARTED!" I yelled.

"Party in the Ipanema, baby." Jeff said before Spike beat his Bongos harder and we started to sing.

Jeff: "I wanna party….I wanna samba…

I wanna party….I wanna samba…

I wanna party….and live my life." Me: "My life."

Jeff: "I wanna party." Me: "Party."

Me and Jeff: "And flyyyyyy."

Twilight and the others grew small smiles of excitement as they listened to us.

Jeff: "I'm gonna fly, fly just like a bird."

Me: "But you are a bird."

Jeff: "Oh yeah, you're right, so let me fly just like a rocket, then. (OK)"

Me: "Fly so high where I need to come down for oxygen. (HEY)"

Jeff: "'Cause once we started, baby. Ain't no, ain't no stoppin' then. (HEY)"

Discord was too focused on the music to notice that his dragon foot was tapping along with the beat.

Me: "'Cause I just wanna live my life and party. (HEY)"

Jeff: "All I want is to be free and rock my body. (OK)"

Me: "Been around the world, and I wanna live my life….in Ponyville….'cause in Ponyville….in Ponyville I realize."

Me and Jeff: "I wanna party. (PARTY)

I wanna samba. (PARTY)

I wanna party (PARTY)

And flyyyyyy."

Suddenly, Discord started to dance uncontrollably; causing him to become slightly confused and worried. Celestia saw this and let out a small laugh. "Discord, what are you doing?"

"I have no idea, what sorcery is this?" Discord asked as his body continued to dance. As he did, Celestia watched him and an impressed smile grew on her face.

"Discord you're….actually not bad….in fact, you're rather good." Celestia said as she eyed Discord's dance moves.

Jeff: "I that samba, samba master, master, master, master, master

Push out sound from a ghetto blaster, blaster, blaster, blaster, blaster

You dance fast, but I dance faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

You too slow, you need to catch up, you can dance and dance."

Celestia's smile then grew as she joined in with Discord and started dancing gracefully along with the music; Discord saw this and was slightly surprised by her sudden actions. His surprise faded as he smiled and continued dancing.

Soon Celestia and Discord were dancing together; causing Twilight and Luna to watch them wide-eyed with astonishment.

Me and Jeff: "I wanna party (PARTY)

I wanna samba (PARTY)

I wanna party (PARTY)

I wanna samba (PARTY)

I wanna party (PARTY)

And live my life (MY LIFE)

I wanna party (PARTY)

And flyyyyyy."

As we stopped singing for a moment, Celestia and Discord started dancing faster until Celestia jumped up into the air and slowly flapped her wings to keep herself hovering in mid-air. Once she was in the air, she started singing her own verses.

Celestia: "Fly-ya-la-ya-la-ya-la-yaaaaaaah

Fly-ya-la-ya-la-ya-la-ya-la-ya-la-ya-la-ya-la-yaaaaaaah."

The high-class ponies in the room all watched Celestia and heard her sing. They figured that if she approved of the music, then they should too. So once the music stopped, all the high-class ponies cheered as they stomped their hooves on the floor.

Me and Jeff just stood on the stage with smiles on our faces while breathing heavily; I for one couldn't believe that the high-class ponies were actually applauding us.

I looked over to Twilight and the others to see they were stomping their hooves on the floor too, Twilight and Luna were stomping their hooves down harder than anyone else.

Celestia then lowered herself down until her hooves were back on the floor in front of Discord, Discord was stunned by Celestia's beautiful singing and he stared into her eyes with his mouth hanging slightly.

Celestia just stood there with a sweet smile on her face while staring up at Discord. "That was beautiful, Celestia." Discord said.

Celestia blushed slightly. "Thank you, Discord. I…don't know what came over me, I just…felt like I needed to do it." She said.

They were both lost in each other's eyes until Celestia snapped back into reality and turned away.

"I…err…I need to get some air…it's a bit stuffy in here." Celestia said before she walked towards the doors that lead outside into the gardens. As she did, she couldn't help but look down at the floor and think about how awkward that moment was, how strange she felt when she was looking into Discord's eyes.

Celestia then shook her head to shake the thought out before she returned her attention to the doors. As she disappeared out the doorway and into the gardens, Discord was left to wonder about what just happen between them.

Later that night

It got later and we were all still in the Ballroom. Octavia and the other musicians had returned back on stage and continued to play high-class music.

Celestia had come back inside and informed Discord that he didn't do anything wrong which caused her to leave.

Spike, Jeff and Peewee had gone to Joe's Donut Shop for a while, Spike was excited about that.

I was sitting by one of the tables by myself while watching Twilight talk amongst the rest of the main 6, I was trying to plan on how to get Twilight alone so I could talk to her, but nothing came to mind.

Unknown to me, Luna was staring at me from across the room. "Ok Luna, he's alone. Just go over there and talk to him! Try to stare the conversation to the point where you can tell him your feelings!" Luna thought before she took a deep breath and walked towards me.

Once Luna reached me, she reached for my shoulder with her hoof, she hesitated for a moment before she tapped my shoulder. I then turned my head to see Luna standing next to me and I smiled. "Hey, Luna." I greeted.

Luna gave me a small smile. "Hello Matthew." She greeted back before her smiling face turned into a serious one. "Listen…emm…can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure Luna, what's up?" I asked before I budged aside to allow her to sit down, Luna then sat down beside me and slowly rubbed one of her front hooves up and down on the floor, she was looking down at her hooves with a nervous look on her face.

I noticed this and gave her a concerned look. "Are you alright?"

Luna then raised her head up and gave me a small smile as she nodded. "Yes, I'm just a little nervous."

I gave her a confused look. "Why? What is it you want to talk to me about?" I asked curiously.

Luna then looked into my eyes as she came closer to me. "Matthew…I…I don't really know how to tell you this …and I hope you won't think strangely of me but…I…err…I…" Luna didn't have time to answer as Pinkie Pie suddenly popped but between us.

"Hey, what're you two talking about?" she asked with a large smile.

Luna then lost her courage and answered her. "Nothing…it…wasn't important." She said while looking down at the floor in disappointment.

"Oh, ok." Pinkie Pie said before she turned her head to face me. "What're you doing way over here anyway, Mattie? Twilight and the others are over there." she said before she grabbed my hoof with hers and quickly pulled me away from the table.

"I'll speak to you later, Luna." I called as Pinkie Pie continued to pull me further away from her.

"Oh…alright." Luna responded. Once I was far enough away, Luna quietly stomped one hoof on the floor in frustration. "So close, I'll have to try again later." She said to herself.

After joining the group and talking to them for a while, I was still trying to think of someplace private for me and Twilight to talk. I then noticed Celestia across the room with Discord and I decided to ask her, I left the group and walked towards her. Once I reached her, I cleared my throat. "Emm…Princess." I said quietly.

Celestia then turned her head to face me and smiled down at me. "Yes, Matthew."

"Err…by any chance, is there someplace me and Twilight can go to have some privacy? I need to talk to her about something." I said.

Celestia raised her eye brow. "What is it you want to talk about with her?" she asked curiously.

I became nervous and I hesitated to tell her before I decided to do so. I didn't want to say it out loud, so I raised my hoof up and moved it in a way of telling her to lower her head down, which she did. Once she was low enough, I brought my mouth to her ear and whispered into it.

After Celestia heard what I said, she let out a small gasp of surprise. She then pulled her head away and looked at me with a small smile growing on her face. "Really?" she asked before I nodded.

Celestia then rubbed her chin with her hoof before an idea came to her mind. "I think I have the perfect place. There's going to be a shooting-star show in a few minutes, you and Twilight can watch it from the balcony above the gardens."

I smiled in delight. "That's perfect. Thank you, Princess."

"It's my pleasure." Celestia said with a warm smile, I then turned around and walked back Twilight and the others.

Once I reached them, I walked up beside Twilight. "Hey Twi, can I ask you somethin'?" I asked as I tapped her shoulder; causing her to turn her head to face me.

"Sure, Matt. What is it?" Twilight asked with a smile.

I rubbed the back of my head with my hoof. "Err…would you like to see the shooting-star show outside with me? The Princess has given us the balcony above the gardens; we can watch it from there." I said hoping she'd say yes.

Twilight's smile then grew. "Yeah, I'd love to. Is it starting now?" she asked.

"If we go now, we might be there before it starts." I said.

Twilight nodded before she turned her head to face the rest of the main 6. "Do you all mind if we go?"

Rarity shook her head with a smile. "Not at all, dear. You go and have fun with Matt! We'll be here when you get back."

Twilight gave her a thankful smile before we both headed towards Celestia. "Wait! Why don't we go with them?" Pinkie Pie suggested.

Applejack turned her head to face her. "I think they want to have some time alone, Pinkie Pie…you know…alone, alone." She said clearly.

Pinkie Pie then got what she was saying. "Oooooh, got'cha." She said with a playful wink before she giggled. Applejack just smirked in amusement at Pinkie Pie before she and the rest of the main 6 continued to watch us leave.

Me and Twilight then approached Celestia and she agreed to show us to the balcony that she mentioned to me. As we left the Ballroom, Luna watched us from the table that we were sat by earlier. "Drat, he left before I could talk to him. I guess I could talk to him during the shooting-star show…no, Twilight Sparkle is with him, I can't tell him my feelings while he's by her side." She said to herself.

Luna then though up an idea before she got up and walked out the doorway and into the gardens.

Later: Castle Gardens

Me and Twilight were sitting in a balcony on the castle, overlooking the gardens below us. Down in the gardens where some of the other quests sitting on cushions while looking up at the night sky; waiting for the show to start.

Unknown to us, Luna was down in the gardens with them, she was sitting in a spot where we couldn't see her. "All I have to do is follow them around until Matthew is alone, then I'll talk to him." She thought as she looked up at us.

As Twilight and I looked up at the sky, I couldn't help but become nervous. "Ok, this is it…this is what you've been waiting for all night…just don't screw it up!" I thought as I shifted my eyes to look at Twilight sitting beside me.

Just then, I noticed a light in the sky and I looked up to see a bunch of shooting-stars were shooting across the sky in different directions, it was a beautiful sight.

As we both watched in awe at them, I felt a lump in my throat as I prepared to make my move with Twilight. "Beautiful…isn't it?" Twilight asked not taking her eyes off the sky.

"Yep…beautiful." I responded while doing the same. At that moment, we both quickly turned to face each other. "There's something I want-…" we both said to each other at the same time.

I then chuckled slight. "Ok…you first." I said kindly.

Twilight gave me a sweet smile. "Matt, I just wanted to tell you that…the last few months we've spent together…have been the best months of my life. Before I met you, I felt so…alone. I mean, I had my friends and I love them, but I never had somepony to have special feelings with. And when I met you…when I first looked into your eyes…I saw a spark, and now that we're together…I don't feel so alone…you know what I mean?"

I felt heart-warmed by her words and I couldn't help but smile warmly at her. "I didn't know you felt that way about me, Twi."

"Of cause I do, I love you…before we met; I wasn't interested in dating anypony, there wasn't even anyone in Ponyville that I liked in that way. But then you came into my life and everything changed, you've made my life happier. It's like when I first went to Ponyville and met my friends, I use to think that friendship wasn't important until I met them, and now I realize that I was wrong…just like how I was wrong to think that having somepony to love wasn't important." Twilight said.

I understood how she felt, I felt as though she had changed my life just as much as I changed hers.

I remained silent as Twilight looked back up at the stars; my sight never left her as she smiled warmly up at the sky. Twilight was silent for a moment before she started to sing about her feelings.

Twilight: "All those days…watching from the windows…

All those years…outside looking in…

All that time…never even knowing just how blind I've been…

Now I'm here…blinking in the starlight…

Now I'm here…suddenly, I see…

Standing here…it's all so clear…I'm where I'm meant to beeeee

And at last, I see the liiiiiight

And it's like…the fog has lifted

And at last, I see the liiiiiight

And it's like the sky is new…

And it's warm, and real, and briiiiight

And the world has somehow shifted…"

Twilight then turned her head to face me with a loving smile.

"All at once…everything looks different…

Now that I…see youuuu."

Once Twilight stopped singing, a heart-warmed smile began to grow on my face. "Twilight…I understand what you mean. And you say I've made your life better, when actually…you've made my life better. I was alone too, Twi…and now thanks to you, I'm not alone anymore either." I said; causing a warm smile to appear on Twilight's face.

It was true; she had changed my life for the better. I wished to come to this world to have the perfect life, but I got so much more…and I loved it. As we looked deeply into each other's eyes, I felt the urge to sing too.

Me: "All those days…chasing down a day-dream

All those years…living in a blur…

All that time…never truly seeing things…the way they were

Now you're here…shining in the starlight…

Now you're here…suddenly, I know…

If you're here…it's crystal clear…I'm where I'm meant to goooooo."

Me and Twilight: "And at last, I see the liiiiiight."

Me: "And it's like…the fog has lifted."

Me and Twilight: "And at last, I see the liiiiiight."

Twilight: "And it's like…the sky is neeeeew."

Me and Twilight: "And it's warm, and real, and briiiiight

And the world has somehow shifteeeed…

All at once…everything is different…now that I see youuuu…

Now that I…see youuuu…"

We had stopped singing and everypony down in the gardens had turned away from the stars to watch us up on the balcony, they had heard the whole thing. There was no applause, which was good because that would probably ruin the moment.

With a loving smile, Twilight came closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder with her eyes closed. I smiled at her as I stroked my hoof though her soft mane. I felt warm in her comfort, both physically and emotionally.

Luna was looking up at us with her ears slightly down, she then shook it off and looked back up at the sky to continue to watch the show.

Later, the show had ended and the guests were starting to leave to go back inside. Twilight was about to head out until I stopped her. "Err…Twilight, can I talk to you?"

"Sure, Matt. What is it?" she asked as she sat back down.

I felt a lump in my throat as I stared at her, she was glowing in the light of the full moon and her eyes sparkled like stars. I gulped hard before I began to speak. "Twilight…we've been together for a long time now and we've been through a lot together…and I want you to know that you're the most important thing in my life."

Twilight gave me a sweet smile. "You're the most important thing in my life too, Matt. But why are you telling me this?" she asked.

I then became nervous. "Because…the more time we spend together, the more I realize…I want us to be together. I didn't tell you this but…remember when I first learned how to fly and I found my inspiration? Well…my inspiration…was you, Twi."

Twilight looked at me with slight surprise. "Really?"

I nodded before I turned my head around and looked down at my pocket before I looked back into her eyes. "I love you, Twilight. You're everything I've ever dreamed of, and…I want to be with you for the rest of my life…so…that's why I want to ask you something."

Twilight looked at me with wonder as I reached my left hoof into my pocket and pulled out a small dark blue box, she let out a small gasp as her eyes widened slightly. "…Matt?..." she whispered while eyeing the box.

I then held the box out in front of her on the palm of my hoof as I managed to get down on one knee.

I managed to use my other hoof to pull open the small lid of the box; revealing a small gold ring with three small white diamonds going along it. Twilight held her hoof in front of her mouth as she looked down at the ring.

"Twilight Sparkle…will you marry me?" I asked with a hopeful smile.

Twilight took her hoof away from her mouth as she remained silent; I then became worried that she was going to refuse until I saw a smile slowly grow on her face.

"Yes…Yes I will." Twilight answered in a joyful tone.

Once I heard her say that, I smiled greatly with joy before I stood back up on only three hooves. I then grabbed the ring with my mouth before I pulled it out of the box and gently placed it on Twilight's horn.

I felt overjoyed, I tried to hold back from crying as Twilight leaped into my arms and we shared a large loving hug as tears of joy rolled down our faces.

We then pulled our heads back so we could look into each other's eyes before we shared a deep kiss of love.

Unknown to us, Luna had watched and heard the whole thing and she had a devastated look on her face. Her ears were down in sadness and her eyes began to water, she then sniffed a few times. "I…was too late…I didn't even get the chance to tell him how I feel." She said to herself.

Luna hung her head in sadness, her horn then glowed and her dress disappeared off her body in a flash of light. she then walked back inside the Ballroom with tears in her eyes.

Later: Ballroom

The Gala was over and the guests were leaving.

Me and Twilight had already informed the others about our engagement and they were more than overjoyed. In fact, Rarity was so happy that she actually screamed in delight and Pinkie Pie was already getting excited about throwing a celebration party.

Jeff and Peewee were surprised at first, but then they felt proud and happy for me. Due to the late time, Spike had fallen asleep. Twilight had placed him on her back and was prepared to take him home.

We all said our goodbyes to Discord before he left to inform the Diamond Dogs that they don't have to stand by the doors anymore.

We said our goodbyes to Celestia as we began to leave the castle to go back to our carriage to take us back to Ponyville.

After the others left, Me and Twilight stopped to talk to Celestia. "We had a great time tonight, Princess…it'll be one I'll never forget." I said.

Celestia gave us a warm smile. "I'm so glad you enjoyed your selves and congratulations on your engagement." She said kindly.

We gave her a thankful smile before I looked around the room. "Hey, where's Luna? I wanted to say goodnight to her." I said.

Celestia began to wonder that too and looked around. "Hmm…I saw her come in from the gardens; she must have gone back up to her room."

"Well, can you tell her we said goodnight?" I asked.

Celestia nodded before we walked past her to leave. "Goodnight, Princess." Twilight said as we left. "Yeah, goodnight." I added.

"Goodnight, you two. And again, congratulations." Celestia responded as she watched us leave until we were gone.

Later: Ponyville library

After another long carriage ride, we finally returned to Ponyville and we all went back to our own homes to rest.

Twilight had placed Spike in in his basket to sleep in comfort with Jeff and Peewee sleeping beside him.

Me and Twilight were still awake; we had taken off our Gala outfits and placed them in the closet, Twilight had taken the ring off her horn and placed it on the wooden counter beside the bed.

We were both now lying in our bed, under the covers with our heads on the pillows. We stared into each other's eyes as we thought about the future we would have together.

"I can't believe we're actually engaged." Twilight said in a giggly tone.

"I know, I can't believe it ether…I don't think I've ever been this happy before in my life." I said sweetly.

Twilight gave me a warm smile. "Me nether."

We then moved in closer before we shared a passionate kiss on the lips, we then broke the kiss and we smiled lovingly at each other. "Goodnight, Matt…I love you." Twilight said before she closed her eyes to sleep.

"Goodnight, Twi…I love you too." I said before I did the same as she did.

I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, ending what I named…my best night ever.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
