It had been a couple months since Twilights confession to Midnight, and in front of Rarity no less. Midnight had performed at the Cathedral causing everypony to cheer loudly for his performance and even managed to sell a backstage ticket for a thousand bits. Although the concert was no sell out, roughly eighty percent of the tickets had been sold and his name had spread far and wide. Hopefully his next concert would be a sell out. However the funds from his concert had been placed into a savings account so that he would be able to rent the Cathedral at a later date. That alone would cost him a couple thousand bits.

Ever since Twilights confession though, Midnight had noticed a severe change in the her demeanor. She had released her courage and become far more open with the Alicorn. Being able to call him her colt friend was by far the one thing to make her that open with him. He however has found out far more about Twilight than he would care to admit. She had divulged her history to him, leaving no detail out. The first moment when she first felt something toward him. That alone took some guts as it wasn't from what he had done for her as to what she had seen. This nearly put Midnight in the floor laughing and made a purple unicorn turn red with embarrassment. However as time went on Midnight had to finally let Twilight know that even though they now had a special bond together, it would be best to learn about each other as time went on. This way it would be a never ending roller coaster and neither of them would become bored since they could not predict what the other would do.

Twilight argued that this was just an attempt to avoid the long drawn out conversation and he didn't want to get to know her. He on the other hoof, surprised the young unicorn to the point where she would submit to his idea of the roller coaster relationship with what he had done today.

"I swear Twi, you have got to be the slowest unicorn in Equestria when you have your nose in a book and something needs to be done." Midnight laughed as his magic snatched the book she was reading away.

"HEY! I was at a good part!" She laughed attempting to tackle the Alicorn but just ended up hugging him around the neck.

"You always say that when I take your books." He laughed tossing the book into his saddlebag.

"That's because every page of every book IS the best part." She smirked at him as her magic dug the book from his saddlebag.

"Anyway, we are almost to the spot I told you about. I still don't understand why you wouldn't let me fly you here." He said looking back to Twilight whose nose was deep within her book again. He shook his head with a sigh as they continued on.

"Well, if I had let you fly me here, one I would have gotten flight sick, and two, I wouldn;t have gotten to read this wonderful book." She smiled lowering the book to see the Alicorn trotting ahead of her. "HEY!" She shouted trotting faster to catch up to him.

"Well, this is the spot." Midnight smiled looking around at the huge open field of cattails that swayed in the wind. The Everfree forest far in the distance as well as a certain small cottage that belonged to a certain yellow pegasus. He trotted quietly over to a slightly worn spot next to a babbling brook with water as clear as the finest diamond. Along the small brook were wild flowers as far as a pony could see, along the bank. Small croaks of frogs and chirping of crickets could be heard as Spring had already started and the wildlife had come into full swing, being noisy, but pleasant to listen to.

Twilight's book was suddenly swept away from her again as this time, Midnight stuffed it into his own little summoning portal so that Twilight could not get it as easily. She had made attempts before in opening Midnight's summoning portals only to get a few nasty surprises he had set up so that she would learn a valuable lesson very quickly. Several attempts with little pranks set as a trap taught her to not only value another ponies privacy, but to also pay attention when it is asked of you. At times though while reading she found this hard to do but over the short couple of months they had been together, she was at the tolerance level of roughly thirty/seventy. Seventy percent of the time she would pay attention when asked, while the other she had her nose in a book.

Twilight blinked as the book disappeared and began to scold the Alicorn but stopped as her vision fell onto the scene before her. A blanket had been spread across the ground in the small worn spot next to the brook. A picnic basket lay open to the side as a generous meal was being placed onto the blanket. All around them sat three foot tall cat tails for privacy except for the are that had been cut so that they could view and listen to the babbling brook.

She moved forward to the edge of the bank looking into the brook, *splash* A small fish jumped from the creek into the air and landed with a flop into the water again. Twilight smiled before closing her eyes and listening to all the sound that were around her. The rustling of wind through the weeds. The water falling over rocks within the creek, frogs and insects noisily talking amongst themselves. It was the perfect setting for a picnic.

She trotted over, taking a seat onto the blanket as Midnight began to fix a small plate of food and pour a drink for her. However she still felt that Midnight was hiding something in regards to this picnic that he suddenly wanted to do. As he placed Twilights drink and plate of food in front of her she began.

"So exactly what made you want to do a picnic all the way out here?" She smiled taking a sip of some apple juice.

"Why Twilight Sparkle, I would think you of all ponies would remember what today is." He spoke as if hurt causing her to scrunch her face up in thought. After a minute she smiled but also turned a bright shade of red as she began.

"This is our two month anniversary." She said shyly looking to Midnight who smiled softly at her.

"That is correct my love." He smiled making her blush even more.

"I didn't think you would remember though." She smirked.

"Mwah? Forget? Perish the thought!" He said doing his best imitation of Rarity causing them both to giggle.

Twilight picked up a small sandwich as she began. "So what did you have planned for today other than whisking me away onto a picnic in the seclusion of this area?" She grinned taking a bite of her sandwich.

Midnight stammered for a moment while speaking in surprise. "W-well, I know its been a couple months since we have been together. During that time we have grown to know each other a lot more and have even slept in the same bed together many times. I remembered what you said about waiting until you were ready to take the final step and I have respected your decision." He was cut short as Twilight gave him a shocked look and an accusing glance.

"So you thought you would just bring me out here and woo me into a rutting session?" She snorted angrily.

"Believe it or not, no." He smirked causing her jaw to drop in surprise.

"I intend on waiting for you until you are ready. With something as important as our first time together I don't want to rush it. Especially since you're still a virgin. First times are something to remember and to cherish." He smiled.

Twilight smiled back, tears welling up in her eyes as she stood up and walked over to Midnight and knocking him over onto his back.

"What are you MMMMM!?" He was silenced as Twilight firmly kissed him, he slowly falling into the moment as Twilight lay at his side. They continued kissing for a good ten minutes. Breaking slowly giving a slight pant.

"You are such a tease." Midnight smirked hugging the purple unicorn to him.

"And you're just horny." She laughed causing him to chuckle.

"Hey, with all of these beautiful mares running around, you would be to." He smirked causing her to gasp in shock then punch him in his shoulder with her hoof.

"That is another thing we need to discuss. Our open relationship status. Since Rarity was generous enough to allow me into you're relationship with her. I will continue to allow you to have relations with her. However, I feel that you sleeping around with any pony that just wants a quick rut needs to be addressed." She began.

"So in short?" Midnight smirked causing Twilight to grump.

"IN SHORT, I would like it if you had far less relations with mares you don't know."

"Hmmmmmm. So you don't mind it as long as the number goes down?" He smirked.

"Considerably down." She added.

"As in maybe thirty?" He pressed a hoof to his chin in thought looking to Twilight in askance.

"I was thinking half of that, maybe less." Twilight smiled innocently.

"Hmmmmmm, tough demands from a pony who hasn't offered anything in return." He smirked causing her to blush brightly.

"W-what?! You expect me to offer myself to you in return?!" She shouted in annoyance.

"I never said anything about offering yourself to me sweetheart." He chuckled watching her blush even brighter.

"I was thinking more of you putting down a book when I ask so that I can talk to you without fear of a future misunderstanding." He grinned. "Sounds to me like someone's mind is in the gut-ter." Her laughed loudly watching as Twilight's entire body turned red with embarrassment.

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I" She stammered unable to find the words she needed to save herself, but was quickly pulled into an embracing kiss which she found far more relaxing than embarrassing.

"No need to explain dear, I know you're a closet pervert, but don't worry. I won't tell anyone." He smiled but began to laugh loudly as Twilight threw her head back yelling out in annoyance.

"UGH! I can't beat you can I?" She groaned as her horn lit up as a smile crept across her face.

"I know, it's hard to have a battle of wits with an unarmed pony HEY WHAT THE!" *KERSPLASH* He began but shouted as he was suddenly lifted into the air and dropped into the brook with a resounding SPLASH!

Midnight rushed to the surface taking in a deep gasp of air as he broke the waters edge. He had a look of shock as he watched Twilight rolling around on the banks edge laughing her flank off. She stopped for a moment looking to the disgruntled Alicorn but soon busted out laughing harder than before.

"What's so freaking hilarious egghead?" He chuckled.

"Hahahaaa those haaaahahahaa bubbles heheheheee." She managed to choke out pointing a hoof to the bubbles that were coming from around Midnight. He looked around seeing the bubbles coming from his backside in the water then realized what Twilight was laughing at.

"That has got to be the longest far......" She was cut short by midnight.

"HEY! You really need to get your mind out of the gutter." He smirked causing her to stop dead in her tracks from laughing only to glare at him.

"Let's was all those filthy thoughts away shall we?" He grinned as his horn lit up picking Twilight from the ground and bringing her close to him just a few feet above the water. She let our a loud shriek in surprise as she clawed for the ground only to watch as it pulled away from her ever so slowly and water replaced it beneath her. She turned her head to Midnight with a scowl across her face.

"You had better NOT drop me into that water." She demanded crossing her forehooves.

"Ok I won't drop you in." He smirked causing her to give a sigh of relief but then screamed as she was suddenly surrounded by water then was pulled out of the brook as quickly as she was put into it.

"WHAT THE HAY?! You said you weren't going to drop me into it." She yelled, trying to shake the cold water off.

"I didn't drop you into the water." Midnight smiled looking to her confused face.

"You see, THIS *DUNK* is dunking." He chuckled as she was plunged into the water again then was pulled back into the air.
"This!" Midnight stopped his hold of magic around Twilight letting her fall into the water with a resounding splash. "Is dropping you."

Twilight came up to the surface gasping for a breath. Her mane covering most of her face as her horn lit up to pull it away as she began to wade in the water. She looking to Midnight who was swimming around her, a trail of bubble following a soft glow behind him.

"You're a real smart flank you know that?" She giggled trying to hold a scowl on her face but failing miserably.

"And you are just impossible to please at times." Midnight grinned as he laid his ears back lowering himself into the water, circling the purple unicorn.

Twilight cocked a brow at Midnights sudden change. "What are you up to?" Twilight smirked watching as he circled her..

"Dun DUN." he spoke softly as his mouth skimmed the surface of the water.

"What?" Twilight asked still watching him.

"Dun DUN!" He spoke a little louder and faster. causing Twilight to realize what he was doing.

"No!" She began to giggle watching his circle tighten around her. "Stop it. Don't you dare."

"Dun DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUN DUN DA DAAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled as he jumped from the water his wings spread wide as he glomped the giggling purple unicorn.

They continued playfully fighting in the water for some time until the setting sun told them it was time to head home. After climbing from the brook they shook off, using magic to hasten the drying process and to quickly put away the food they had managed to not eat during their picnic. As Midnight placed the items back into his saddlebag and the basket into the summoning portal, he pulled a few sandwiches from the basket before closing the portal.

"Hey Twi." She smirked as she turned around and he booped her nose with the sandwich. She grabbed ahold of it with her magic taking a bite.

"This has been a interesting day." Midnight smiled taking a bite of his sandwich.

Twilight looked up to him in between bites before asking. "How so?"

"It's not everyday you find out your marefriend is a closet pervert." He laughed taking off through the field. Twilight hot on his hooves yelling at him.
