A year had passed since that fateful night as Adagio awoke. She looked to her left to see Sunset still sleeping soundly and drooling slightly on their pillow. She smiled as she gracefully crawled from the bed, careful not to wake her girlfriend as she did so.

Today was a special day after all. Their one-year anniversary.

Adagio went to the bathroom and showered quickly before dressing herself and checking in on Sunset. Sure enough, Sunset was still asleep in their bed and Adagio smiled as she quietly closed the door to their bedroom.

The siren immediately went to the kitchen and began cooking a nice breakfast for her lover. She had in the beginning been a terrible cook, but after a month of lessons from Applejack she felt she could finally make something at-least palatable. The breakfast was simple, if a little country. Biscuits, gravy, eggs, sausage, hash-browns, and (what breakfast would be complete without) bacon.

Adagio smiled to herself and quietly hummed a little tune as she flipped the eggs. She wasn't sure how exactly Sunset liked them considering she had them differently every time she ate them, but she was sure her girlfriend would appreciate whatever she cooked.

Sunset and Adagio had only grown closer in the past year, and today Adagio was planning on saying something that she had been thinking for the past few months. She just needed the perfect time.

Adagio smiled to herself as she prepared the plates on a serving tray she had borrowed from Pinkie Pie, and had to force herself not to squeal in delight at the good job she had done. The biscuits were not burnt for once and she could not help the overwhelming sense of pride from her accomplishment.

Taking the tray in both hands, Adagio gently tiptoed her way back to the bedroom. The sun was starting to come up as she gingerly nudged the door open with her backside, and Sunset was still sleeping soundly in the bed. Adagio pushed the door to their bedroom closed before merrily announcing the morning. "Good morning, Sunset." she sang happily.

Sunset blinked awake and yawned before sitting up in the bed. "Mornin'." she mumbled sleepily before her eyes widened in shock at the sight of the tray. "Is that for me?" she asked.

Adagio nodded before placing the tray in Sunset's lap. "Happy anniversary, dear." she said, taking her place on the bed. Sunset smiled before eagerly tucking in to her meal.

"This is really good." Sunset managed between bites. Adagio giggled as she watched her girlfriend. "What's funny." Sunset asked around a mouthful of bacon.

Adagio simply shook her head. "It's nothing." she said. "You're just cute."

Sunset smiled as she returned to eating. The two sat in relative silence as Sunset finished her meal and Adagio watched her contently. Sunset finished her meal and Adagio took the dishes to the kitchen to wash as her girlfriend prepared for the day. A knock at the door distracted Adagio from the dishes. "Coming!" she yelled, earning a snicker from Sunset in the bathroom as she mumbled something.

Adagio rolled her eyes as she opened the door. The first thing she noticed about her guest was the color pink, the second thing she noticed was the fact that their guest was mere inches from her face. Adagio took a step back from the uncharacteristically looking Pinkie. "C-can I help you, Pinkie?"

Pinkie stared for a moment, a serious look of determination on her face before speaking quietly. "Sugarcube Corner. Thirty minutes." she said ominously, before slowly closing the door. Adagio stood dazed for a moment before shrugging. She was sure Pinkie was crazy and resigned to not over-think anything the girl did.

Adagio finished the dishes just as Sunset exited the bedroom, fully dressed and ready for the day. "Who was at the door?" she asked.

"Pinkie... she seemed kinda pissed for some reason." Adagio said shrugging. "I don't know why she would be, but she's too random for me to try and figure it out."

Adagio smiled sheepishly before laughing slightly. "Yeah, she doesn't get pissed. I'm betting she's got some kind of party planned."

Adagio nodded as she grabbed her jacket, the same one that Sunset had given her a year ago. Adagio's entire outfit looked extremely similar to the one Sunset had previously worn, however instead of pink on her shirt, she had opted for blue with a quarter note insignia. Sunset was still wearing her new jacket with the orange stripes on her boots and shoulders.

The two girls left the house and started down the street to Sugarcube Corner. "Did she say when she wanted us there?" Sunset asked.

"Half an hour." Adagio said, linking her fingers in Sunset's hand. The two walked in silence until they reached their destination.

Sugarcube Corner was dark as they approached it, all of the lights were out and the blinds closed. "Prepare yourself." Sunset whispered ominously as she pushed the door open. The two step inside and closed the door behind them.

A moment of silence, followed by an explosion of light and sound. Several voices rang out in unison, "SURPRISE!" they yelled, jumping from behind the tables they had hidden themselves behind. All of their friends were there, including Rainbow Dash. She had taken the longest to wrap her head around the idea of her friend dating the siren.

"What's going on?" Adagio asked blinking.

"Well, duh." Pinkie beamed as she wrapped her arms around both Sunset and Adagio. "It's a surprise anniversary party for you and Shimmy. Silly Adagio." she said.

"Well, I can see that Pinkie... what I meant is why did you do this?" Adagio asked. Adagio took in the room. Streamers hanging from the ceiling, cake and punch on the far table of the room.

Then, there was them. All of their friends standing back and smiling at the pair. Sonata and Aria were already by the snack table. Twilight had even made the trip from Equestria and was currently leaning against a wall staring at Pinkie... or at-least a part of Pinkie. Rarity and Applejack had been standing on either side of the entrance, but had since made their way around to stand by one-another's side. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were holding hands in the corner. Since the two had come-out a few months before they had been much more open about their relationship, but still tried not to come off as too clingy with one-another.

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were also in the building. The three had met Adagio and the other sirens not long after Sunset and Adagio got together. For a long time the three girls had been nothing but a problem for the reformed siren, however after an intense conversation with their sisters and the couple, the girls had finally accepted her.

Rainbow Dash herself had also taken a long time to forgive the siren for all of her slights, including the footage she had learned Adagio had taken. The conflict with Rainbow had nearly killed her, but the two had patched their relationship and were just as close as the rest.

Pinkie grinned and released the two from her hug before explaining. "Well... you guys have been through so much this past year, and the rest of us thought you deserved a party. Then, Fluttershy remembered that your anniversary was coming up so we decided to throw you a party."

Adagio smiled. "Thank you all." she said to the room. "I know the past year has been hard, but I think it's going to be good from here."

"If we're doing sappy speeches..." Rainbow sighed and approached the couple. "I have something I wanted to say to you, Adagio."

Adagio nodded silently and waited; the rest of the room content to do the same. Rainbow shifted uneasily for several minutes before continuing. "I know... I've put you through hell this past year." she glanced to the girl's wrist briefly. "And I-I know you didn't deserve most of what I dished out... and I'm sorry."

Adagio smiled warmly before placing a hand on her shoulder, causing the rainbow haired girl to cringe slightly. "Rainbow, you've apologized already. I've already forgiven you. That's behind us."

"We're sorry, too." Scootaloo chimed as the other two crusaders nodded their assent. "We know we made it hard on you at first."

"And sometimes we still do on accident." Sweetie Belle said.

"But we don't got anythin' against ya, anymore." Applebloom said, stepping closer to the siren.

"We're sorry..." the three said in unison.

Sunset laughed slightly, breaking the silence after the apologies. "Come on, guys." she said. "What's with all of you today? This is a party right? No need to dwell on this sad stuff."

"I don't know." Pinkie said. "It does kind of feel like something's ending."

"I think Pinkie is right." Rarity said. "I mean- we are going to keep going from here, but it does feel as if this is the end of an era, so to speak."

"Well, I always thought ending's ain't exactly a bad thing." Applejack said, a kind smile on her face. "An endin' just makes room. Room fer somethin' else ta' start."

"Still..." Fluttershy said quietly. "I don't like endings."

"Me either." Adagio said. "Over a thousand years old... and I still don't like to see things end..." she smiled. "But, I love to see things begin." Adagio took Sunset's hand with a kind smile. The look in Sunset's eyes conveying everything she wanted to hear out loud.

Several minutes of comfortable silence settled over the party before Rainbow groaned loudly. "Alright, I've had enough." she announced as she made her way to the stereo. Rainbow turned several knobs for moment as the sound of music began to fill the room. "No more 'touchy-feely'... it's time to party!" she yelled over the loud rock music.

The others all smiled and nodded their assent before the party truly started...

Adagio and Sunset stumbled back into their apartment several hours later, too tired to walk correctly. They fell into their bed together and simply laid there for several minutes in comfortable silence.

"Y'know... I get it." Sunset mumbled.

"Get what?" Adagio turned her head to look at the vision in the bed next to her.

"I get what Pinkie meant. It does feel like something's ending... not us, but something is definitely ending..."

"Yeah... I know what you mean." Adagio said, kissing her girlfriend on the forehead. "Something is ending."

Sunset was silent for a moment before grinning wickedly. "Why don't we end it with a bang?"

Adagio smirked. "You're on." she said as she wrapped her arms around the other girl's neck. Adagio pulled her lover into a deep kiss. Their lips parted and after a moment Adagio felt Sunset's tongue wrapping around her own. Fingers began to trace her abdomen as she slid a hand free of Sunset's neck down the collar of her neck. She used her fingertips to gingerly trace her collar.

Sunset gasped as she pulled from the kiss and smiled warmly at Adagio. Sunset curled her fingers under the hem of the siren's shirt as Adagio leaned forward. Sunset pulled the fabric from the other girl's back with a coy grin as she stared at the bare breasts beneath. Adagio gasped as Sunset took the breast in her mouth; flicking the nipple with her tongue.

Adagio squirmed beneath her girlfriend and moaned loudly as her ministrations picked up speed. Sunset's hand snaked it's way into Adagio's underwear as her other hand kneaded the flesh of one of her breasts. Adagio gasped as a finger found it's way inside her and Sunset's thumb began rubbing small circles on her clit.

Adagio's shaking hand found the button to Sunset's pants and she began to fiddle with it furiously. After several minutes of agonizingly slow rubbing, Adagio could feel her climax building, her own hand popping the button off of Sunset's pants. Sunset unconsciously shifted, allowing Adagio to pull her pants and underwear below her knees.

Adagio bit her lip as she felt her orgasm inch closer, Sunset still rubbing circles on her clit, while one finger slowly slid inside her before pulling out swiftly and repeating the process. Sunset pulled her mouth away from Adagio's breast with a gasp before pressing their lips together passionately, her tongue forcing it's way inside the siren's mouth.

Adagio knew what her girlfriend was doing. She would force Adagio's mouth to stay open right until she came, which always made her moan louder. She did not know why Sunset loved that so much, but she did it every time.

Adagio's walls clenched around Sunset's finger and Sunset pulled her mouth away from the siren just as she moaned loudly. "Not... fair..." Adagio panted as Sunset kissed her on the cheek.

"What's not fair?" Sunset asked, a slight smile on her face.

"You didn't get yours.... again." Adagio sighed. It had not been there most passionate night together, but it was still amazing as far as she was concerned. She knew what Sunset would say next, and she knew it was true.

Sunset giggled and kissed the other girl again. "That's okay. I'll make you get me in the morning."

Adagio nodded as she pulled herself into the other girl, her arms and legs wrapping around the other girl and her body conforming snugly into the other girl. Sunset sighed happily as she threw a blanket over the two and returned the siren's embrace.

Adagio knew that her night could end happily here, but there was one more thing she needed. One thing she needed to say... and one thing she needed to hear.

Adagio took a deep breath and pushed her head deeper into Sunset's chest as she closed her eyes. "Sunset?"

"Yes?"

"...I love you."

A moment of silence and Adagio worried she had said the wrong thing... and then she said it.

"I love you, too."

Author's Notes:

And so, here it is. The final chapter. I honestly didn't know I'd be so choked up about the whole thing. This is the first story I've ever written longer than just two or three chapters and it's been one hell of a ride. You guys kept me going with all of your comments and it always made my day to see a new favorite or comment.

I thought writing this story the words "it's just porn" would be all I thought about it, and originally that was the idea, but after writing chapter one I saw a great story just waiting to be written.

Also, left it off here thinking I may write a story about that year in between the last two chapters. Didn't know if I'd actually do it or not. You guys can give me your opinion on that if you like.

Thank you all for all of the support you have given me the past couple of months and I hope I didn't disappoint anybody with this ending. Also really appreciate my repeat commenters (you know who you are). It wouldn't have been the amazing journey it has been if not for you guys.

Now I have a trip to my first ever convention in Kansas this tomorrow, so I won't be online for a few days, but after that; I'm going to start work on my newest story. Keep an eye out for it.

I regret absolutely nothing.
