A Beautiful Night

Chapter 5: Trust

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Oh only if she had discovered this happiness before, when she first met Song she just thought she liked him because she thought that it was more out of sympathy. She did not know that it was that easy to fall in love with somepony, and as she looked back to that first night she realized why she at first liked him was because she could tell he had a similar darkness around him. As that night gone on and he had told her most of what happened to him, she felt like she saw into a mirror that night for a moment with an expression he momentarily had. The sadness and pain, which did not seem like him now as he was always so kind and friendly, he even had that twinkle of kindness when he first met her.

Her sister would not leave her alone about what happen that day she caught her over at his place, even if her sister had helped them go out to Ponyville during Nightmare Night. It was getting annoying being asked every five minutes about how her first time was, and at some times getting scolded at when they were in front of some nobles. But the scolds were mostly about the public display of affection that her and Song only did to mess with her.

That was her revenge for the embarrassment that her sister put her through. But they did eventually leave her sister alone for a little while, for the Grand Galloping Gala was coming up and her sister had to make sure everything went smoothly. Though she knew her sister had a different plan set into motion with Twilight and her friends. Which made her remember that she had personally wrote to Twilight, not to see how her studies were going but to see if she had some advice for her.

When Twilight sent a reply she had told her that she'd never been in a serious relationship before, but according to her studies on the subject it was now tradition to celebrate six months of being together. Just like how they celebrated their friendship only after a month. She smiled at the memory of when she had open her gift and pulled out a beautiful necklace made with gold and Night gems, as she remembered she subconsciously put her hoof on the necklace.

He had spent months, no make that two centuries gathering the gems. She was surprised when he told her how long it took him to find the five little ones and the one big one in the center. When she asked why he would give her the most rarest of gems to her, he just told her that he loved to make ponies happy, for when he saw a pony smiling that makes him smile. This reminded her of the pink Earth Pony that Twilight was friends with.

"You know they say that those gems are supposed to hold great magic right?" The question made her jump a little. "Sorry didn't mean to spoke you." Her sister said holding back a small chuckle.

"What do you mean that their supposed to hold great magic?" She asked a bit curios. Her knowledge of the gems was very limited as they were mostly discovered after she had been banished.

"Well that's what we all thought, they even tried to make a powerful amulet out of it. Though once we discovered that the only thing that was special about them was their beauty and unique natural features. Of course they are still very rare too, and it's obvious that these one's are of the best quality I've ever seen in any gem." She understood what her sister was saying. They had did experiments with the gems like how they did with every gem to gauge how much magic could be stored in them. The purer the gem the more power they could hold. But these gems didn't seem they could even hold the tiniest of magic. "You know that big one in the middle, i remember when he had wrote to me about discovering it. He had wanted to do his own experiments with it, but he didn't have much luck either. Though he did not tell me why he had wanted to do these experiments, but i guess when he finally met you he gave up, and i sorta of guessed he do something like this. For it brings out more of your beauty, especially during the night. That and it makes you smile a lot more."

"So he gave up his experiments for me?" She asked interrupting her sister a little.

"Yes, he had been doing them ever since he first found his first one. Though as i said i do not know why he wanted to do the experiments." She looked at her sister a bit confused. "Oh don't give me that look when you already know why he gave that necklace to you now." This made her blush and look away from her sister, why hadn't she realized that was the reason. He loved her long before she even met him.

"Oh, big sister how's everything with the Grand Galloping Gala coming along? Anything i can help with?" She said wanting to get off the topic before her sister started asking those questions again. Though she could tell she hadn't fooled her sister, but lucky for her that her sister decided not to mess with her this time.

"Nope, all you have to do is get ready. The Gala is in three weeks, which speaking of, you still need to go to Rarity in Ponyville to get your dress made. I mean she will have a hard enough time with time being an issue now. And before you ask, Song already went and got all of his measurements for his tux done a week ago, though he didn't go voluntarily. You know he can be stubborn sometimes." Her sister said in a tone that sounded more like a little foal who was spoiled.

"You know as well as i do that he's just worried about the cave." She replied defensively, but she saw her sisters smile that meant she only said that to get the response. Why hadn't she saw that coming?

"Oh calm down, i'm just teasing you again." Her sister said giving a small chuckle. "But i am serious, from what both Twilight and Hoity Toity said, Rarity is the most talented fashionista in all of Equestria. All i want you to do for the next couple of days is to get your measurements taken. And no complaining, i know you two haven't seen each other in a few nights, but i don't think it would matter spending a few more apart. That and i don't want to come and find you in his bed or even his house again now do i?" Oh great and let the teasing commence. "Or perhaps you thought you could sneak him in your room instead?" Her sister said with a smirk on her face, thus successfully embarrassed her making her cheeks flush with warmth.

"Alright i'm going, just so i can get away from you." She said trying her best to shake the warmth that was now in her cheeks.

"Good, now go along and i'll let Song know that you'r going to get a special dress just for him." Right after what her sister had said had sunk in, it had made her eyes go wide in shock.

"No!" She exclaimed in utter shock at what her sister said, though this just made her sister bust out laughing, making her realize that was the reaction her sister had wanted. "Someday i'm gonna get you back." Even though she meant to say it under her breath, her sister had apparently heard her, because the laughter got louder.

She was glad that she finally got escape her sister and her teasing. Why would she would embarrass her own little sister like that? Even though no pony was around during the teasing, she still felt fear that a rumor might end up spreading, a rumor that she doubt neither her nor Song wanted to spread. Though she didn't know why she was concerned about what others thought of her and Song's relationship, she had a right to date anypony she wants even if they had a little fun.

-------------------

Though she had only been gone for a few day's, it felt like years. All of those measurements and looking at all of the designs, it had given her a headache. How could anypony suffer through that? She hadn't even got to pick out the design anyway, because the white unicorn remembered that she was going with somepony to the Gala, who had already came and already had an order in. Thus going with a design that she said would not only go with the tux that he was going to wear, but also would compliment her colors.

She was thrilled though because that meant she didn't have to look through the hundred of designs for dresses. But she did cut the unicorn a break though, as it turned out it had been her dream to design a dress for a princess. Then they got into the measurements, the unicorn kept muttering under her breath about her measurements were just perfect. This did got her to blush, but she finally got to go back to Canterlot after the unicorn had made a quick prototype of the dress surprisingly fast. Though the actual dress wasn't going to be completely done until a few days before the Gala, which was now less then two weeks away now.

But the one thought that kept her occupied through the entire ordeal was getting it done as fast as she could so she could celebrate her six month anniversary with song, which the unicorn named Rarity perfectly understood. Although by the time she got back she only had until tomorrow, and she hadn't had time to put a single thought into what she would get him. Last time he had simply told her about the magic cooking book which he still used most of the time to cook their food with. Although now she had no idea what to get him, and she still felt like she had to repay him for her necklace, but she couldn't find anything that was perfect enough.

"Oh Luna your back!" She turned to see her sister standing there. "You looking for something for your knight in a pink robe?" Her sister asked with another smirk, and once again she got the reaction that she wanted. "How about you show him a good time, you know like how you did that day?" Giving a wink to her, again causing her eyes go wide with shock.

"Sister we're in public!" She exclaimed quietly, for the two princesses were now drawing attention. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Nothing much, i always like to look at the markets. Though i think your looking for that shop over there." Her sister pointed to a little shop that said 'Looking To Spice Things Up?' All she could do was stare at her sister in with wide eyes again. This made her sister to once again to bust out laughing, and after calming down her sister regrouped herself. "You know i'm just teasing right? But i am serious about wanting to help you find a gift for your lover." Holding back a laugh at the expression on her younger sister's face.

"Fine, but if you tease me one more time you might as well leave now." She said in a serious tone.

"Alright, i promise you i won't tease you until we find Song a gift." That answer would have to do she thought to herself.

They walked for hours, every time her sister had tried to point out something, she didn't feel that it was the right thing. And they continued their search, until every shop had closed for the night. This made her feel disappointed and upset, as she didn't find what she was looking for and it would be to late tomorrow.

"Hey i think i have an idea." She looked at her sister with disappointment still in her eyes. "You said that he cooks all of your food when your on a date right?" In response she just nodded her head. "So why don't you cook for him instead? I'm sure he'll love it." This gave her hope, even though she wasn't the best cook she could still try. In her joy of finally getting an idea for the perfect gift she hugged her sister.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. That's perfect, i can't believe i didn't think of if." She felt her sister hug her back.

"What do you think big sisters are for? And as for why you probably didn't think of it, is because you were to focus on finding something to repay him. Not searching with your heart, and i figured what was the one thing he always did for you that you could do for him instead? Though a couple of other ideas popped into mind i figured to let you in on that idea." Her sister said.

The next day she started to cook their meal for that night, which she was planning on surprising him with. She had sent a message to him saying that he didn't have to bring the food tonight, and she did realize that might have ruined it. Though she didn't tell him why he didn't and tried to avoid any hints, that's she started to wonder if he would know about this being their six month of being together, and she also wondered if he knew about the whole anniversary thing. Of course he knew, he was the one who introduced her to it pretty much.

Through a couple of attempts she had finally felt comfortable with her work. Her sister kept coming in and had told her it didn't matter what she prepared as long as she was the one who made it for him. Soon she started to put everything in the picnic basket, like the plates and silver ware, some heart shaped cookies for desert though those were unintentional, a bottle of wine out of the royal winery, some candles, and last she put in the main appetizer. Which she thought came out a lot better than she hoped, she had made what she remembered to be his favorite dish, sunflower and fruit soup. Granted she thought it didn't sound that good, but then he had brought some so she could try it.

It was the most delicious thing she had ever tasted, though she was sure her's would not be as good as his, her sister kept assuring her that since she made it with her heart it would be good. Still, saying that it help her confidence much, though her sister told her that even if she had just prepared some sandwiches, to him it would be the most tasty thing he ever ate. Though she still worried about what he would think.

As she prepared to take off, her sister had stopped her to remind her how happy she was that she had finally found happiness. Of course that only lasted all but a second, telling her to make sure she be back at dawn this time, and if she stayed over to make sure he had protection. After giving her sister a glare that meant don't push it, she took off still hearing her sisters laughter.

She made sure to have gotten there early so she could set up everything. Then she heard the familiar sound of him walking through the cave. When she could see his outline in the cave walk closer, his mouth hung open as he took everything in, she was laying on the blanket with the food spread out before her. Though his expression only made her more nervous.

"Do you not like it?" She asked looking down, feeling like a fool for thinking he would find her cooking to look disgusting. As scenarios played through her head, she heard him walk towards her, and when she looked up she had tears in her eyes, but he was staring at her with a mixture of concern and happiness.

"Everything looks perfect, and please don't cry. I don't like it when you cry." He said laying down next to her, wrapping her in a warm embrace that she always enjoyed.

"D-d-do you mean that you don't think it looks disgusting?" She asked barely able to speak, because of the threat of more tears.

"Yeah i do mean it that everything looks perfect, and i like everything that i see. But there is only one thing missing." He looked at her, but she just gave a teary, questioning look back. "What's missing is your beautiful smile." He said with such kindness and concern that she didn't want to disappoint him. So she gathered herself and gave a smile of gratitude. "That's better, and after we eat i want to show you something." He said giving her a small peck on the cheek.

She didn't ask him if he liked it, for she was now going off of pure happiness. He had answered her though by eating everything on his plate and even asked for seconds, and he told her that it was the most delicious thing he ever had. When he asked who made it, and she told him that she did, his mouth hung open again, making her blush.

"You know bugs are just going to crawl into your mouth if you leave it like that. So here let me help you." She said as she was leaning in for a kiss, which he accepted gladly.

"So that's why it tasted better than anything i could do, because you i know that you put your heart into it. Thank you." He said after they kissed. After packing everything up, she remembered that he had wanted to show her something and was about to bring it up but then he siad.

"I think i know why you made our most delicious meal, it's because we've been together for six months now isn't it?" She nodded. "Well i have a special surprise for you as well." He said walking over to the edge of the cliff. "Tell me do you trust me?"

"What do you mean? Of course i trust you, for you are my knight, my prince." She answered, looking concern. Why did he ask her that, and why was he standing close to the edge?

"You know I've always wondered what it feels to fly. Sometimes i wish i was born a pegasas just to feel the wind in my face, so i can feel like i could reach the stars, but i couldn't because i was missing wings." He said stepping more towards the edge.

"Song, please don't get to close to the edge." She said her concern growing, and she started to walk toward him.

"I thought you said you trusted me?" He asked.

"I do, i really do trust you. Just take a few steps toward me please?" She was now at her peak of concern, which was now quickly becoming fear. He looked at her and saw her fear and concern.

"Don't worry, just trust me." He said, then he jumped off.

"Noooo!" She screamed and watched in horror as her fear had taken over. She rushed forward and tucked her wings in, and went into a nose dive. Knowing she had to save him, wanted to yell at him, wanted to hold him tight and never let go. Even if this was their last moments, she just wanted to hold him close.
