Sunset awoke in a hospital bed surrounded by her friends. Her leg was in a cast and she had multiple bandages on her body. "What...happened?" She looked around her friends and noticed one missing. "Where's Treble?" The girls all looked to each other, Rarity walked over to the curtain that separated Sunsets bed from the next one and pulled it back. There laying in the bed was an unconscious Treble Clef with Vinyl, Octavia, Synthesia, Aria, Sonata and a man with grey skin and black hair in a brown suit surrounding him.

"After he saved you from that burning building he fell unconscious. It's been two days since then, the doctors fear that he's fell into a coma." Rarity explained. Sunset looked over Treble and saw he was in far worse shape than her.

"Why would he risk his life to save me?" The girls all looked to her and smiled softly.

"That's what he does. He protects his friends and loved ones, you were brought into that circle so he saved you." Sunset just looked to the sleeping boy who had a small smile on his face, resting easy knowing his friend was ok. Sunset then started feeling sleepy. "It's ok darling, you need your rest." With that Sunset closed her eyes.

When Sunset opened her eyes she saw a slightly orange sky with large clouds circling in the air. Sitting up she looked down to her hands and saw hooves. Looking over her body she found she had returned to being a pony. Looking around she was standing on a see through surface, and endless sky below her and all around the platform. She turned her head until her sight fell on a white pony with electric red and white hair. He was sitting down facing away from her.

She slowly walked up to the pony. "Treble?" The pony's ears perked up and he turned around to reveal two crimson eyes. He looked over Sunset and smiled. "Is that you?"

"Aye." He patted a spot next to him and turned around to watch the sky. She sat down beside him and looked at him with a small blush.

"Where are we?" He closed his eyes and took in a breath of the clean air.

"Dreamscape." Sunset looked around in wonder.

"Are we sharing a dream?" He looked to her and nodded. "So...I'm actually talking to you right now?" He nodded again. Soon the sky started to turn a dark blue. Then streams of neon flours swept across the sky, much like the northern lights p. They both looked up in wonder at the beautiful work of art that floated above them.

They slowly turned their heads towards each other, looking into each other's eyes. Sunsets heart started beating faster and faster as she looked into his eyes. She slowly scooted closer to him and lay her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you...for saving my life." He chuckled and wrapped a foreleg over her shoulder and resumed looking up at the lights. She took the time to think about what had happened recently. 'Ok. I'm sitting with a boy in a really romantic setting. Said boy has saved me from being raped and has saved me from dying in a fire, all the while risking his life for someone who he hasn't even known long.' She looked up at him and looked into his shinning crimson eyes as they sparkled with the colours flying above. 'He's a nice guy...a really nice guy in fact. He's loyal, great at showing a girl a good time without thinking about his own enjoyment. Not to mention he's extremely handsome.'

Suddenly the moon that had rose above the platform glowed a soft pink and the constellations around it formed around it to make the image of petals on a flower. Sunset stared in amazement while Treble smiled.

"Wait, are you doing that?" Sunset asked looking to the stallion. He smiled and nodded. "How?"

"Dream." He held out his hoof and swiped it sideways, sending a small cloud of stars slowly flying around the platform. Sunset looked do her hoof and held it out, two glowing butterflies appeared and started circled each other, one red, one yellow. Treble looked to the butterflies then to Sunset who was blushing furiously and covering her face with a hoof at her mistake. Those butterflies represented her and Treble, and he knew it.

He placed his hoof on Sunsets. She moved her hoof away from her face and looked to Treble with wide eyes. He wrapped his hoof around hers and gave a gentle smile. Sunset gulped and started to lean closer, as did Treble. Soon their mussels met and Treble planted his lips on hers. Her eyes widened before slowly closing, lost in the bliss that was this moment. Treble put one hoof to her back and another to her head while she put both of hers on his chest as they booth leaned into the kiss.

They stayed in this position for a few seconds before separating. Sunsets face was now pure red while she caught her breath, Treble just looked at her with a loving gaze.

"Do you...maybe wanna get a drink...or something after we recover?" Sunset asked in between breaths.

Treble smiled. "Aye."

A week and a half later

Sunsets leg was thankfully not broken, just bruised severally. She was walking within a week and her burns recovered at a fast rate thanks to the magic inside her. Treble still didn't wake up until nine days after being put into hospital. When Sunset had visited him in the dreamscape again he had written on a piece of paper that he was letting his body recover without have to be bored laying in a bed in bandages for a week. After the magic in him had sped up his healing process he woke up and was immediately hugged by all the girls (Aria, Sonata and family included).

When they had returned to Canterlot High, Treble was met by applause and handshakes from the students. The student body had started to realise what Sunset was really like after having almost lost her, so she was treated with some respect.

When they were at lunch that day an interesting conversation arose through the group. "I just realised that I have nowhere to call home now." Sunset held her head in her hands. "I mean, I have money in the bank but that would only cover half the cost of a house." Treble perked up st this and looked to his new girlfriend, the group still didn't know about the new relationship. He made several hand signs to Octavia and she nodded.

"Treble says he has some money left in the bank, and he's been looking for a place of his own for awhile." Sunset looked to her silent boyfriend in shock.

"Really?" He nodded and gave her a thumbs up before returning to his taco. Sunset smiled and nodded. "Alright then, let's do it."

Meanwhile the man in the coat and fedora looked at the school from across the street. "You'll slip up sometime Treble...sometime." He then began walking down the street. "And when you do...you'll suffer the consequences."
