[Late Monday Morning]

[Lumina’s POV]

The four of us walked to the store where they sell wedding dresses, suits, and tuxes as I looked back on the events that occurred this morning before we left.

Okay, things are going well so far. I’m still quite surprised Cyan knows that much about adult attire, yet still tries to act cool and mature on the subject while not objectifying mares. Nil’s much older than he is, and yet the guy still ogles and stares instead of looking away and giving mares their privacy. I gotta give props to Cyan for being the better stallion in this case. Going back to how I walked in on him topless though, I swear I felt like I was in Nil’s position there, and that is just bad and WRONG on so many levels. I thought I was already starting to get comfortable around him, but now I’m not entirely sure anymore. I should probably list some of the things I need to do.

One, find a female friend who can help me with this problem. In this case, Orange is probably the only mare I know right now who can help me. Maybe I’ll talk to her about it today while we look around in the shop.

Two, plan your intense physical training you’ve learned from the academy and the old hag to help Cyan get stronger. He’s got a point on what he said earlier, not to mention I can’t guarantee I’ll always be at his side. He’ll probably want to start being more independent anyway, and I’m sure the both of us need some space from each other from time to time. If the training goes well and he gets even MORE toned than what I saw earlier, then I REALLY need to back off and make some space before my hormones get the better of me.

Three, help Cyan get some ideas on clothing designs the next time he uses Shadow Magic to make them. I mean sweet Celestia do I look HOT in this tube top. I’ve been DYING to get some new and stylish clothes ever since I left the academy. Maybe once I earn enough money I can find a new cute top or two from some department store. As much as I want to go all out on shopping, Cyan and I aren’t made of money, apparently he has more bits than I do, and I can’t just ask him to lend me some bits for my own things. In the meantime, even if Cyan can only make black colored clothing, I am TOTALLY down with him wanting me to try on new things. I mean heck, black is probably one of the sexiest colors to wear depending on the occasion. Still, I think I MIGHT have overreacted with my appreciation for Cyan making something like that this morning. Seriously, I’m glad he even said something before I somehow got too far. Guess that’s another reason why I’ll need to talk to Orange about this.

“I gotta ask, but isn’t it considered bad luck if the groom sees the bride in their dress before their wedding day?” Cyan asked which snapped myself out of my thoughts.

“Honestly, even if that were true, Orange and I had PLENTY of bad luck both before AND after we got together,” RB pointed out as he pulled his love closer while we walked. “We both ended up with bad dates and relationships before us, and it was inevitable for our old friends and family back in Cloudsdale to react the way they did. I think a better question would be what MORE bad luck would we run into?”

“Don’t jinx it!” I exclaimed. “You’re just raising more flags talking like that!”

“Well I honestly don’t care what comes our way as long as none of that will separate the two of us,” Orange said. “Not only has Rooty been an amazing brother, but the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m not going to back down if anyone else says so.”

Wow, she’s really into this. Maybe asking her about my problems IS a good idea at this point.

“So besides Barley, Lumina, and me, you don’t have anyone else to come to the wedding?” Cyan asked.

“Like I said before, pretty much EVERYONE we knew back in Cloudsdale didn’t take the news lightly just from Orange and I being together,” RB replied with his ears folded. “I don’t think they want to attend a wedding for a pair like us either.”

Oh boy, I know where this is going. Being called the school slut back in high school was bad enough for me. I can’t even IMAGINE what these poor ponies went through.

“What if Lumina and me found some other ponies who would want to come?” Cyan asked which had the three of us, including me, staring back at him in surprised. “The two of us will be travelling for a while, and we’re BOUND to come across some new friends along the way. Maybe some of them will be more flexible in coming to your wedding than those you know. What do you think?”

Huh, I didn’t think of it like that. Way to think outside the box.

Orange and RB looked at each other for a moment before glancing back. “I… Suppose we’re alright with it,” RB replied. “You don’t NEED to find some ponies who are willing to go though. We’re thankful just to have you two attending for all it’s worth.”

“Don’t worry, it’s no trouble,” Cyan said with a wave. “Lumina and I would be more than happy to help make your special day more exciting and memorable. Isn't that right?” He asked while looking at me

“Oh yes, definitely!” I exclaimed.

“Well we really appreciate you two putting in the time and effort,” Orange said with a smile. “And it looks like we’re already here. Let’s head on inside,” she suggested before the four of us went in.

We split into pairs once we got the info we need to reserve and purchase dresses. Orange and I were looking through the section for wedding dresses while the guys were browsing through some tuxes and suits. I took advantage of being alone to ask Orange my concerns. “Hey Orange, can I ask you something personal?” I asked.

“Of course. After what you and Cyan are doing for us, we’re pretty much best friends now. You can ask me anything!” She replied happily.

“When you first got together with RB in secret, did you ever have any… Concerns or doubts that your relationship would work considering the circumstances?” I asked.

Orange took a moment to look down while frowning in thought to let the question sink in before she answered. “Well, after the afterglow from our first session together, we did panicked at what we just did at first. Before we even had the chance to talk about it, our parents were coming home, and we had to clean everything up as soon as we could to hide our aftermath. We were lucky they didn't suspect anything at that time.

"I walked into his room later that evening so we could have that chat by ourselves. Neither of us knew what came over us when we made that first kiss, and we were lucky Rooty had a condom on him before we got to the more intimate parts,” Orange blushed a little while recalling back that time before she continued. “We talked about how our parents and friends would freak out if we told them what we did together, but then we got to recalling back the first time we did it. The both of us agreed that what we did back then felt… Right, in a way. I mean we already both loved each other, and we’ve always been there for one another in both the good times, and the bad. Sure, we had our moments of sibling banter, but we got over them pretty quickly after we apologized and hugged, which I think both of us enjoyed out of it now that I’m looking back on it.

“Anyway, the both of us agreed to go on a few dates, under the façade that we were just spending time together as brother and sister like we used to so we can get a better sense on what was going on between us. After a while, I had more fun being with him as someone more than just his little sister, and Rooty felt the same after we had talked about it. So… We tried it again with that knowledge once Mom and Dad were out, and it felt just as good, if not, BETTER than before. At that moment, the both of us wanted to spend more time together like that, being more as a couple than as siblings. We would talk about it with our friends and family eventually, but in the meantime, we just wanted to enjoy what we had going, and did it in secret. I think it was at that moment all of our concerns and doubts faded away, and we just embraced what we had,” Orange looked up to me after she finished. “Are you going through what you asked me with Cyan right now?” She asked.

I was lost in how incredible their development in relationship was before I was snapped out of it. “Erm… In a way, yes,” I admitted. “Like you, I didn’t have as much luck with ponies back in high school, both colts and fillies. Some were going okay until… Something got in the way, and they just dropped me at the drop of a hat. Soon I just go to the first pony that seemed attractive at the time, and with self-respect still in tow, I either kept going out with them, or dropped them if they turned out to be jerks later on. Eventually, I just gave up sometime in mid-sophomore year, and with my last session turning out so badly, I haven’t had a good rut since then.”

“Oh dear… How long has it been now?” Orange asked.

I looked up and tried to count the times before I looked down with ears folded in shame. “… Almost four years,” I said. “Sure, I do it myself for stress-relief, but it’s just not the same sometimes.”

“Well… What makes Cyan different from all the other ponies you’ve met?” She asked.

“Well before him, I THOUGHT I found someone who was like that back at the academy,” I replied. “Though I had shut myself off from everyone else, he still made an effort to get friendly with me and made my time there, well, more tolerable. I warmed up to him, and developed a crush on him sometime afterwards. With how sweet he was towards me, I honestly thought he was going somewhere with us, and he said himself that he wasn’t interested in seeing anyone at the time. I wanted to confess my feelings for him in hopes that he did the same, and we would be together while serving the Royal Guard… But then I saw him kissing someone else, and I just resigned and left the academy soon after that. I didn’t say another word to him when I was there, and he didn’t know I watched it all happened. It was like everything we did together, what we did to get to know each other was all for naught, and it all crumbled right in front of me at that moment.”

Orange suddenly hugged me with her arms and wings to show comfort. “Lumina, I am so sorry you had to go through that. You must have felt so hurt,” Orange said.

“It’s fine,” I replied as I pulled back. “I’ve calmed down a little since then, but I’m still trying to get over him. That same night I left the academy was the time I met Cyan though. I’ll admit, he didn’t found me at a good time as I was still pent up from earlier events. I had kind of scared him a little from that, and it wasn’t until I found out he was a fourteen year old, runaway colt that my mood changed completely. I had to put my tensions to the side then so I could have him get comfortable around me and explain what he was doing outside of Canterlot. We got to know each other while sharing some food I had on me, but I started to strangely feel… Open to him as I tried to get him to warm up to me. He got me to laugh a little, which was something I haven’t had for a while, and I just felt I could be more myself around him.

“From what I know about him so far, though he takes things too seriously now and then, he’s very considerate, puts others before himself as he tries to make them happy even in his lowest of times, kind, conscientious, knowledgeable, and he even sees quirks in some ponies' imperfections. He’s probably the sweetest, most mature fourteen year old colt I’ve ever met, and even though I kissed him yesterday, I’m still conflicted with how I feel for him.”

“Is it that you’re conflicted, or you’re afraid he’ll hurt you again like all the others before him?” Orange asked, and I looked at her with widened eyes in response. “I’m not 100% sure, but I think I’m starting to know where you’re coming from.”

“Y-you do?” I stuttered.

“This is just a guess,” she continued. “But I don’t think you’re conflicted with whether you like him or not. Maybe even more despite him being under the legal age of consent. It sounds like Cyan’s similar to your last crush before him, you’re afraid of going further with what you two have, and end up getting hurt again like before. Has Cyan fell in love with anyone before you?”

“There was two of his closest friends back in Canterlot,” I answered. “He was uncertain with his feelings with them at first from the sound of it, but I think it’s clear how he feels for them, and he still does to this day. He has talked quite a bit about them, like they were more of a family than his real one.”

“I see… And how long have you two been travelling together since you two met?” Orange asked.

“Erm… Today will be our third day,” I admitted.

“Hmm… And you said you first kissed him just yesterday, which was the second,” she commented. “I gotta be honest, you two may be going too fast with each other, and if BOTH of you are still wound up in feelings from something in the past, that doesn’t really help with both of your situations at all, especially with how long since you had a good, *ahem* rut. I’d say do what I did and embrace your feelings, but it sounds like that could be too much for you right now.”

“And I don’t want to hurt Cyan either,” I added in. “He’s just been so sweet, and it’s a wonder why his parents even dropped him like that. I want to help him however I can, but I don’t want to bring up any ideas of something going on between us. The kiss was bad enough, and now I’M starting to want more out of it. Probably from the lack of, well, THAT like I mentioned earlier.”

Orange took a moment to gather her thoughts and try to come up with some solutions before she answered. “I think I may have an idea to help you with your latter problem, but I’ll have to get back to you on that later once I know it’s okay. As for you and Cyan, first, it sounds like he’s told you quite a bit of himself, so I think you should disclose something about yourself while trying to lay out some ground rules between you two.”

“Cyan and I did part of the second one already,” I commented. “As far as I know, we’re both okay with hugs, kisses, snuggling, and even how far undressed we are when we’re in the same room… Thinking back on it now, I might need to change some of those ground rules.” I blushed at how stupid I was thinking laying those kinds of ground rules back then.

“… Okay, the ACTS is a start, but I think I mean more on where you two stand in your friendship,” Orange clarified. “Unlike you, Cyan has NO dating and relationship experience, and can only go off of what he had with his close friends that he had loved before. He’s probably just as confused on what he wants and where he stands in this as you are. Rooty and I tried setting each other up with a few of our friends before we got together. Though it didn’t work out for us, it could be a good idea for you to do the same for Cyan so that HE can start getting an idea on how dating and relationships work. Unless YOU want to go out on a date with him if you’re sure on your feelings of course.”

“… I don’t think so. Not yet anyway,” I admitted.

“Alright, and while he goes on his dates, maybe you should try to go on a few yourself,” Orange suggested. “See how different the guys and girls are since your times in high school, and gain better knowledge on what you’re looking for before you give Cyan a shot. As for the legal thing? If you’re sure you want to be with Cyan both body and soul, I say don’t worry about it and just go for it. What matters is WHO it is you’re with, and not WHAT. Does that make sense?”

“I think so,” I replied with a nod. “Thanks for hearing me out. It’s been a while since I had a good filly friend like you to talk about these things with.”

“Anytime Lumina,” Orange replied with a wave. “I’ll get back to you on the other idea I had in mind, and if there’s anything else you need to talk about, don’t hesitate to come to me, alright?”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks Orange,” I said before the two of us had a good hug with smiles.

“Now, how about we have some fun, and have the boys get their jaws dropping for our dresses?” She asked with a smirk.

“W-wait, me too?” I asked while pointing to myself. “I-I don’t know, I mean we’re here for you and RB’s special day.”

“Come ooon, it will be fun,” Oranged prodded before she snagged a few dresses from the rack, and shoved one to me. “Here, just try this on. I think this will look wonderful on you. I’ll get you another size if it doesn’t fit. I won’t take no for an answer. Now let’s go.”

“But but but,” I stuttered as Orange pushed me to the changing rooms, and I just gave up before I got inside against my will.

[Cyan’s POV]

“So Lumina’s quite the hottie don’t ya think?” RB asked out of nowhere as we were browsing through tuxes and suits in the guy’s section.

“Should you even be talking like that when you’re already engaged?” I asked with skepticism.

“I’m just sayin’. You’re one heck of a lucky guy to have her as your marefriend,” he said

“She’s not my marefriend alright?” I corrected. “We’re just friends who apparently kissed each other once… Twice if you count that small break of chat in between.”

“Uh huh... Have you ever gone any further than that?” He asked.

“NO! It would make things even more confusing between us.”

“Now you’re leaving ME confused dude.”

“Trust me, you’re not the only one,” I sighed in frustration. “Look, I don’t know what’s going on in Lumina’s head right now alright? She said she’s trying to work out her feelings on what she wants in a serious relationship after she found out the last guy she had a crush on was already with someone else. As far as I can guess, she’s been having a bad streak of guys and girls,”

“Ooo a bisexual huh? Nice catch dude,” he interrupted with a thumbs up.

“…Anyway,” I continued. “Lumina’s been having a bad streak of relationships before she met me, and apparently she hasn’t made very much friends, if not good ones, in her lifetime. I think she just needs someone there to listen and support her like I believe what a good friend should do, and right now, I’m that guy.”

“And you’re okay with that?” RB asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Pretty much,” I answered with a shrug. “To be honest, I didn’t realize I was in love with two of my best foalhood friends until I ran away from Canterlot, and I was JUST seeing how beautiful and attractive they were that day. I’m not sure if I’ll see them again someday, but right now Lumina’s the first and only friend I’ve made since I left who’s helping me get around. I’m not sounding like I’m taking advantage of her kindness. Despite her teases, I like being her friend so far, I’m very thankful to have her, and I want to do however I can help her in return.”

“But do you want to be with Lumina?” He asked.

“Honestly? A part of me says yes,” I admitted. “I want to give us a shot to see if we could at least work. Maybe have a few dates, kiss, and end the night with cuddles with no assumptions of getting anywhere further than that. But I already know Lumina doesn’t want to have a serious relationship right now like I said before. I respect that, and I still want to be her friend. Even if she starts looking and I have ZERO chance of being with her I still do. If I can be the friend who’ll be there to support her in both good times and bad, and help her as much as I can with the latter, I’m totally okay with that.”

“What if she wants to go further with the kisses and is still uncertain about what she wants?” RB asked.

“As much as my hormones and balls will KILL me afterwards, I’d have to stop her then and there,” I answered. “I may even have to stop kissing her altogether and stop her from that as well. If I want to have something like that, I want us both to be ABSOLUTELY certain that is what we want, and we actually GET somewhere afterwards. I don’t want to take advantage of, well, whatever’s going on in her head, only to result in her regretting what she did, and never wanting to see me ever again like all the other ponies she was with. I’m not going into the friends with benefits route either. That will just make things even MORE confusing with how we both feel about each other.”

“Huh… I gotta say Cyan, you’re more mature than any other stallion I’ve seen so far, I respect that,” RB said. “But a little advice from guy to guy?” I shrugged in response. “You should probably tell her what you’ve told me about what you want from Lumina. Make sure you two are on the same ground so that you know what to do with yourselves.”

“Doesn’t that sound a little selfish on my part?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Perhaps, but you sound like you know what you want from Lumina compared to what she’s going through right now,” RB answered. “I can see you’re okay with whatever she decides, and care for her well-being. It’s mighty high of you to think like that, but you gotta remember to think about what YOU want in your relationship sometimes so it doesn’t feel one-sided, and she doesn’t throw a bone back when you’ve thrown all of yours. Trust me, before I got together with Orange, I wanted to give the mares I dated a good time while they were with me, and I gave what I could. In the end though, I found out some were only using me to get someone else jealous so they can get them, and others only said yes to get in the ride, enjoy it, and leave without ever calling me back.”

“Yikes. Those girls sound like total bitches,” I commented.

“Boy were they,” RB said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “Cyan bud, if there’s one thing that every stallion should know, it’s that mares are very strange, and I can guarantee that they probably feel the same with us. Just remember that if things don’t work out between you and Lumina, it’s not the end of the world. You may get down after that, everyone does, but what matters is how we get back up, and move on. Life is like rushing waters in a river, you’ll get hit with rocks. As you keep going, you get stronger until they feel like knocks. Once you look back from a distance, you’ll be surprised to see. A beautiful view of what you’ve accomplished, and how you came to be.”

“…Dude, that was deep,” I praised. “Where’d THAT come from anyway?”

“I think old man Barley’s rubbing off on me. He’s a big guy on poetry, and likes to recite morals like that,” RB answered.

Poetry huh? I’ll have to keep that in mind for what Lumina and I should get for Barley for letting us stay and work at his pub.

My train of thought was interrupted by one of the employees of the store. “Excuse me gentlecolts,” she said. “Your marefriends wish for you two to come to the display room.”

I ignored her assumption with Lumina being my marefriend before I answered. “Can you lead us the way then?”

“Of course, if you’ll follow me please,” she directed as we followed her to the back.

[Lumina’s POV]

“I still don’t see why I had to go through with this,” I argued as I fixed my dress and mane. “It’s not like I’ll be getting married anytime soon.”

“Oh come on Lumina, we’re having fun aren’t we?” Orange asked. She was wearing a frilly dress that accented her curves, and extended outwards until they reached to the canons of her legs with room saved for movement. There were straps over her shoulders that crossed and extended down to her lower back, perfect to let her wings move freely. “Besides, just LOOK at you! You look GORGEOUS!” She praised

I looked at myself in the mirror, where I saw myself wearing a simple silk dress that was backless. It was held up by the veil-like collar with flowers depicted in the stitching that extended to the top of my breasts where the main textile started. My curves were also accentuated as I scanned down to where the dress ended to my fetlocks, which also had room for movement, and had a certain hypnosis to it when I twirled it. “Well, I can’t say if this would be my final pick, but it does look nice,” I said.

“Lumina, you’re not giving yourself enough credit here!” She exclaimed. “You look amazing, and I’m sure Cyan would love it.”

My face heated from Orange mentioning his name. “Y-you really think so?” I asked.

“I KNOW so,” she replied.

“Okay boys, prepare to be dazzled!” The employee said as she directed them to the room with their hands blocking their eyes. “Aaaand… Open your eyes!” She exclaimed excitedly before the guys allowed themselves to see, and stood there wide eyed before us like a dog would stare at a treat before it.

“Orange, you look amazing,” RB praised while rustling his wings as he walked up to his fiancé and held her hand. Orange blushed and giggled as he kissed the hand he was holding.

I looked to Cyan who was slowly walking up to me with wide eyes as well while he scanned me. I couldn’t help but feel my face heated has he drank my image. “S-so? What do you think?” I asked as I stepped down the platform with different mirrors.

“Lumina,” he said as he held my hand. While looking up to me. “Words can’t even begin to describe how beautiful you look right now.”

I felt like my heart skipped a beat after hearing him say that as we gazed into each other’s eyes. For a moment, it felt like everything around us just disappeared, and we were the only ponies left in the room before someone cleared their throat that caught and directed our attention towards the employee. “I hate to break into such a romantic moment, but would you two please take that somewhere else while you aren’t in our dress?” She asked before we looked back to each other, and noticed that we were in each other’s arms in close proximity to kiss before we scrambled away from each other and looked away with flushing faces.

“Uh, right. Sorry ma’am,” Cyan apologized.

“I’ll just… Change out of these real quick,” I said as I dashed back to the changing rooms to get out of the dress.

RB and Orange ended up reserving the dress they picked before the four of us left the store, and went to a restaurant to get lunch. We ended up talking more about the specifics of the wedding while we ate. Their wedding day is November 12, which seemed like a reasonable day before things start to get too cold to turn into winter. We also talked about the parties; what limits there were since some of us were under age to get into more adult establishments and drink alcohol; and the chapel they’ll be holding the ceremony in (which was rather cheap and flexible with who they bring together in marriage as far as they’ve told me). One thing that caught off both Cyan’s and my guard was how we were offered to be their best stallion and mare. Sure, we may have been the only other spectators to come to the ceremony (at least unless we find some more ponies who want to attend), but it was still a great honor and pleasure no less, and we gladly accepted.

Our pairs parted ways after lunch, we thanked them for treating us, and bid them good-bye until work before Cyan and I walked over to the library to see if Nil was there today. We sat in the same spot we were in last time while reading through a book to pass the time. We didn’t exchange any notes like we did last time, and honestly I couldn’t really think of anything for us to talk about then. Even if I did, it just wasn’t the time and place to do it, and it wouldn’t mean much communicating through index cards.

After we gave up for the day we walked back to the pub in silence, bought some appetizers for dinner, and got into our uniforms before we started on our shifts. I tried acting cheerful to the customers as I waited tables, but it was almost painful to do as I had a lot going on in my mind. It looked like Cyan was the same as he seemed to space out from time to time while clearing tables. He almost even tripped on his own hooves at one point, but he retained his balance and caught the bin that he was holding before it flew and broke any dishes on impact. Barley noticed how we weren’t ourselves that night, and decided to give us a break early so we could gather ourselves a bit.

Cyan and I were at the back of the pub outside, sitting on some boxes that were there while we didn’t spoke and looked at the ground while I was in deep thought.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Obviously both of us have something to say to each other, and it’s driving me crazy. This isn’t even about my sexual frustrations anymore as it's stemming more from the stress of the situation. I don’t think having sex would even help ease my nerves a little at this point if it only kept my mind off it for a moment. We gotta do something so that the both of us would calm down enough for us to talk about our concerns. What can we do though? Wait, what was that one thing Cyan said last night relating to his tea parties with Teala?

Sometimes she would have me brush her mane and tail while we chatted afterwards, which was strangely more comfortable and soothing to do than the tea parties. She talked most of the time, but I didn’t had very much to add into it, so I didn’t really mind. I think I started to become a good listener after that.

THAT’S IT! I know what we could do tonight after work! I just hope Cyan’s into it. Might as well ask him now and see what he thinks.

“Hey Cyan?” I asked while looking to him, being the first thing I said to him since lunch.

His ears perked up before he looked at me. “Yeah?”

“Remember what you told me last night about how soothing it was to brush Teala’s mane and tail after your tea parties?”

“Uh, yes? Is that weird?”

“No no! It’s fine!” I exclaimed while waving out front. “Actually, my sister or mom would do the same thing with me when I was younger. It was… Really nice doing that with them while we talked about our days before we head to bed,” I said as I looked back to those times when school didn’t matter, and I could be with my family that I loved. “I realized I haven’t told much about myself yet, and you’ve told me so much about you already. There’s also something I want, no, that I NEED to get off my chest as well, and I think… Having you brush my mane and tail could help both of us relax a little while I talked. Would you be up with that?” I asked.

Cyan looked shocked at the offer, as if he never would have thought I would ask that before he looked down and frowned in thought. “I… Suppose I could do that if you’re alright with it,” he responded.

“Great!” I exclaimed happily before I hugged him tightly. “Okay, let’s get back to work and get our shifts done for the night quickly. I wanna get through this as soon as possible,” I said before I got up, and went back inside first to get back to work.

I gotta tell him tonight. Our friendship and sanity is on the line here, and since I started it all with that one kiss yesterday, I’ll need to straighten this out for the better. I’ll also need to update on the ground rules we established so that the line between friends and lovers will be marked and set in stone. Cyan’s been such a good friend so far, and even if what I’ll say tonight will have him change perspectives on me, at least he’ll have a better understanding on where I came from. He deserves that much at least, and I want to help him get the special, lucky filly to have Cyan as her special somepony. Even if I did end up wanting Cyan in the end, I honestly don’t think I deserve someone so special like him after all I’ve put him through, and especially all the ponies I went through. Guess that means I really do have to change myself for the better. I just hope that even after this, Cyan can help me get through it like the wonderful pony he is.
