The audience groaned to the cliffhanger. Twilight pop her head out again, "There will be another 15 minute intermission. Hang tight."

Fluttershy watch the sets changing, and then she heard a loud groan that sound like it was coming from Discord's dressing room. She immediately went in, seeing him lying on the couch where this time it was on the floor.

"Discord, what's wrong?" she asked in concern.

"Ugh, I think I threw my back out in that last scene."

"Oh… you poor thing…" she gets closer and straightens him up.

"What are you…?"

"Now this may hurt a little…" she tackles him the way she did with the bear awhile back.

"YEOW!" his yelp could be heard across backstage, as other ponies turn their heads to the sound. His back cracks and he sigh a relief.

"Better?" she starts rubbing his shoulder muscles.

"Much…" he said in a near vigorous voice.

"There you are, now you'll be able to finish the play." she starts to go.

"Oh but, I think I still have a sore muscle, yes, over here."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive…" crossing his fingers behind his back. He lays back down as she rubs the shoulder blade.

"Here?"

"Hm? Oh yes! Right there…" he smirks to the side admiring his view of the pegasus.

"What's going on here?!" Apple Jack busted in, "I heard a scream and…" gawks at the sight before her. Discord quickly gets up.

Both he and Fluttershy blush and said simultaneously, "This isn't- That is-" Discord puts a finger to Fluttershy's mouth as he explains, "I had a sore back and Fluttershy was just fixing it." giving a cheesy grin.

Apple Jack raised her eyebrow to Fluttershy who nodded in agreement.

"O-kay. So, ready for the last act, then?"

"Very." he answers.

Apple Jack did a glance then left. Discord faced Fluttershy, who slightly turned pink.

"I… have to go." she quickly flies out.

"Shoot…" he whispered, "That close…" and began pondering of the sweet pegasus.

Flash guarded Twilight's dressing room, while inside, Twilight has a private conversation with Cadence and Shining Armor regarding what to do with Blueblood's pursuit.

"Why in the wide world of Equestria would Blueblood want me?!"

"It's not you he wants," pointed Shining Armor, "It's your new status."

"Well, what should I do?"

"Nothing for now," advised Cadence, "Not until he starts courting; tell him you're not interested."

"And if he ignores that?"

"Call your brother." he puts his hooves together.

"Funny…" she teases.

"No, really. I'd like to set him straight…"

"Oh, Shiny…" Cadence puts her hoof around him, "Blueblood wasn't always a pompous snob…"

"That's right," Twilight pointed, "You guys grew up together, didn't you?"

"Yes… we used to be close when we were little… but our duties kept us apart as we got older and now we're on a professional relationship."

"Sorry, Cady… I forgot that…" he apologizes.

"Shh… You have nothing to be sorry about. Blueblood's made his choice of who he's become."

Twilight give her brother a sly grin, "Cady?"

"Oh, um…"

Cadence giggled, "That's alright, I call him Shiny on occasion." acting playfully towards her husband. The three royals all laughed to that.

Pinkie was humming along backstage, and then she spots Cranky and Matilda. "Isn't this fun?!" she asks them.

"It's wonderful!" exclaimed Matilda, "The best play I've been to in years!"

"Only because I'm in it, right?" pointed Cranky.

"But of course, Doodle…" lifting his chin and they touch faces.

Cheese Sandwich was walking around then saw Pinkie, with a determined look to his face; he tiptoes behind her and puts his hooves over her eyes, "Guess who…?"

"Hmm, Shining Armor?"

"Nope."

"Flash Sentry?"

"Nope."

"Discord? Has to be!"

"Good guess, but no!"

"Oh, then it's you… Rainbow Dash!"

He chuckles then turns her around, "It's me!"

She giggles, "Oh, Cheese! Of course I knew it was you!"

Both laughed until Matilda asks, "So how long have you two been dating?"

They fell silence, blushing, and then quickly said random things.

"Oh, we're not-"

"We just-"

Pinkie points out, "We're just good friends." bumping his shoulder.

"Totally." he returns the bump.

Both mules looked doubtful.

"Mm-hm," said Cranky, "I've heard that one before."

Matida takes Pinkie to the side, "Dear, take it from us: you don't want to lose sight of a pony that shares a special connection with you… See what happened to Cranky and I? If you go away from each other now, who knows when you might see each other again…?"

Cranky pulls Cheese closer and whispers, "You don't want to lose this one kid. She's one of a kind, and I want her to have the happiness I couldn't have right away."

The two ponies look over to each other in realization.

Cheese went forward, "You know… in all my days of traveling from town to town, I have never met a pony as fun as you are…"

"And… I never met a pony that plans a party so amazing in such a fast time… I thought only I could do that… but when we put our heads together, we can do the greatest parties Equestria has ever seen!"

"Pinkie Pie… would you be my very special some pony?"

She gives an expressionless face, giving a dramatic pause, "I… would… love to! And would you be my very special some pony?"

"You betcha!" both began to blush as they started holding hooves, locking gazes, then they had their first kiss!

"Looks like our work is done…" said Cranky.

"Yes…" then Matida looks at a nearby clock, "Oh, dear! Um, Pinkie?"

"Hm?" Pinkie was too entranced into Cheese's eyes to notice anything.

"Shouldn't you be getting on stage?"

"What? Oh! Goody gumdrops!" she light-speeds away, and then comes back, "Almost forgot." pecks Cheese's cheek, and then light-speeds away again.

"That's my girl." Cheese proudly says.
