Matthew and Fluttershy were finally together again. It took some time, but Matthew had finally perfected the art of being a pony. With the help of his lover and new best friend Rainbow Dash, he had even perfected his flying. While Matthew stayed with Fluttershy, he created new friendships with the ponies of Ponyville as well. And in time, he had made sort of a name for himself in the town.

Matthew had even earned his cutie mark. It didn't take him long to earn it. It happened when he was sitting on the beach with Fluttershy. As the sun set, all Matthew had to do was confess his true love to Fluttershy, for what felt like the hundredth time for the couple. When Matthew simply joked by mentioning his love for Assassin's Creed, his cutie mark appeared. It was the Assassin Crest, with a heart inside it.

At first, money was hard to come by for Matthew. But, with enough effort, he worked up enough money for something special. He had waited six years for this, and now was the time to ask his lover the magic question. And he knew just the time to do it.

On an ordinary night, Matthew, Fluttershy, and the rest of their friends gathered for a regular get together. They all sat outside Applejack's barn, gathered around a warm fire roasting marsh mellows. There was chatter, laughter, and for Matthew and Fluttershy, love. But, as the night started to fade away, Matthew gathered the attention of his friends.

"Hey girls, I have some things to say," Matthew announced, earning their attention. "I've only been here a month now, and I feel like I've achieved so much. I have all of you to thank for that. Each of you helped me in some way or another." He turned to Fluttershy. "But Fluttershy, you've been the greatest pony in my life. You've given me so much, and I wouldn't be the stallion I am today. I owe it all to you. And that is why, right now, in front of all of our friends, and under the beautiful night sky..."

Matthew knelt down and pulled out the ring from under his wings. He held it in front of Fluttershy by the tips of his wings. The ring was beautiful. It was in the shape of a butterfly, like Fluttershy's cutie mark, and it was a beautiful shade of pink. Fluttershy, along with the rest of the girls, began to tear up.

"Fluttershy, will you marry me?" Fluttershy didn't need to think twice.

"Yes! Yes, I will Matthew!" In an instant, the two were wrapped in each other's arms as they shared a beautiful kiss. And with their friends now in applause for the couple, nothing could ruin this moment. As the two broke their kiss, they locked eyes and shared those three beautiful words once again.

"I love you Matthew."

"I love you too Fluttershy."

For the time after Fluttershy left me, I had practically given up on life. I nearly killed myself about three or four times, had gotten into a false relationship, and practically screwed up every aspect of my life. But when I was finally reunited with Fluttershy... it was just perfect.

I gave up on this thought for a while, but now, I know it to be true. That it was, is, and always will be...
