Nothing of much importance happened for the next few years. My best memories during this time were of birthday’s.

Each birthday marked a special day that Amethyst would come out and visit me in the wasteland and we could eat a cake that Rose had made.

Today was my 14th birthday.

“Rose can I go and visit Amethyst and the other’s today?” I tugged at Rose’s leg.

Rose looked down at me. She smiled and nodded.

“Thank you Rose.” I hugged her leg.

Rose nodded and dragged me along with her into my room. I let go and Rose trotted over to my closet.

I trotted over to my bed and jumped up onto it. I sat patiently while Rose dug through my closet.

Eventually Rose turned around with a suit on a hanger in her teeth. Rose trotted over to me and sat the suit down next to me.

I looked it over before looking back to Rose. “Do I have to wear it?”

Rose nodded and moved the suit closer to me.

I sighed and put the suit on. Rose trotted away as I finished putting the suit on.

“Well Silver another year gone by and another year older. You ready to go see Amethyst?” Derpy was standing over me.

I jumped forwards away from Derpy. “Oh yeah I’m ready.” I blushed a bit.

“I don’t see why you’re so embarrassed. You look good in a suit. I guess you could say it suits you.” Derpy giggled.

I sighed. “Was that a pun?”

Derpy nodded. “Now come on we don’t have forever. The others only got one day off for this.” Derpy grabbed ahold of my hoof and dragged me through a wall.

I was getting used to moving through the pocket worlds but I was still a bit nauseous after entering. I had no time to think about it as Derpy dragged me through another door.

It was very dark. Over the years of coming to and from here I had almost memorized the layout of my home here. From what I could tell I was next to the bathroom door.

I guessed about where my bed was and trotted in that direction. I was about halfway there when I ran into something.

“Ok. I guess Amethyst must’ve rearranged.” I felt my way around and moved to the side of whatever was in my way.

I found my way to the bed and jumped onto it. I sat there and waited patiently for my friends to join me for about five minutes before I got bored.

I sighed. “Well I guess I’m going to be here awhile before they get here.”

I called forth my magic and made a small ball of light. The light let off by the ball was the same color as my coat so I didn’t receive much light to see by. I maneuvered the light ball towards the light switch.

I stopped the light right in front of the switch. “Here we go.” I flipped the switch and the lights came on.

My friends jumped out. “Surprise.”

I would have jumped back if Violet wasn’t holding me there. I took a few seconds to realize what happened and I relaxed. Violet let me go and they all trotted over to my bed.

I looked around to see everypony except Amethyst was here. “Where’s Amethyst?”

“She had something special that she wanted to get you. She’ll be here in a minute or so. Until then.” Violet directed her gaze to Blaze. “Get the cake.”

Blaze trotted out the door. The door stayed open long enough for Amethyst to trot in.

I swear my jaw would have fallen completely off was it not attached so well. Amethyst was wearing the red dress she had worn the first time she had come to the wasteland. Her mane flowed over the right side of her face and ended in a small curl. The light hit the dress perfectly and made the sparkles shine brightly.

I kept my mouth open and tried to speak but was to stricken with Amethyst’s beauty to even think of what to say.

My brain didn’t start working again until I realized Amethyst was walking towards me. I tucked my legs underneath and sat there watching as she approached.

Amethyst hopped up onto the bed next to me. “How are you doing today honey?” Amethyst kissed my cheek.

I said nothing and just sat there blushing really hoping that somepony would help me out of this situation. No such help came for me.

Amethyst waved a hoof in front of my face. “Equestria to Silver. Come in Silver.”

Buck buck buck. I couldn’t think of anything to say so I let my actions speak for me. I turned to Amethyst and kissed her deeply on the lips. That did very little to help me out of my current predicament. In fact it made it worse.

Amethyst pushed me gently away. “I’ll take that as good.” She giggled and hugged me.

Fortunately Blaze trotted back through the door pulling a small trolley behind him. He brought the cart inside and set it up next to the little table in the corner.

Amethyst jumped off the bed and looked to me expectantly. “Well Silver what are you waiting for?”

I sat there not moving. Amethyst knew exactly what was wrong as I blushed.

Amethyst shook her head. “Just get over here and enjoy your birthday Silver. Nopony minds. We all just want you to have some fun.”

I waited for a few seconds before jumping off the side of the bed. My blush didn’t fade as I approached the table where all my friends had found a place to sit. They left one chair open for me at the head of the table. I quickly took a seat and tried to act natural.

Amethyst was sitting directly next to me. I jumped a little as she put a hoof on my shoulder.

Amethyst sighed. “Look I know you were raised in the wasteland but you need to take it easy. Relax. Have fun.” That smile of hers was the most enchanting thing ever.

My blush faded and I smiled. “Ok.”

After a few hours of this awkwardness everypony decided it was about time for relaxing.

I trotted over to the couch and took a seat. Amethyst followed shortly behind and took a seat right next to me.

Blaze and Violet sat together while Derpy and Ace sat opposite of eachother.

Amethyst laid down next to me. I put a wing over her and laid down.

Blaze and Violet exchanged glances as if they were having a full blown argument without disturbing us. After a few seconds they looked over at Amethyst and then back to each other. They nodded and got out of their chairs.

Violet trotted over to the door. “Well Silver we’re going to go home so you can enjoy some time with Amethyst. Blaze leave him the gift.” And with that she trotted out.

Blaze set a package down on the couch to my left. “Happy Birthday Silver. Have fun for the rest of the night. Also don’t burn through that present to quickly.”

I smiled at him and was about to talk when Ace pushed him out the door. “Cya later Silver.”

“Bye.” I watched as Derpy got out of her chair.

Derpy smirked. “Well Silver we all have things to do so just enjoy your evening.”

“I will thanks Derpy.” I smiled. “You too.”

Derpy nodded. “Will do Silver. Bye.” Derpy waved a hoof at me as she trotted out the door.

Amethyst opened one eye and looked the room over. It took her only a few seconds to jump up and lock the door.

I eyed her over a bit confused. “Ummmm.”

“Don’t worry, follow me and bring that box.” Amethyst pointed to the gift Blaze had left me.

I jumped down off the couch. I trotted along behind Amethyst with the box in tow. Amethyst led me straight to the bedroom.

I was a bit surprised at how much she had actually managed to get done. The last time I slept here was about two weeks ago and the room had been not only rearranged but repainted as well. The color scheme set up a romantic mood.

Amethyst jumped up onto the bed. “Get up here and set that package down over there.”

I didn’t look where she was pointing. I dropped the package off to my right and jumped onto the bed.

“So what are we..” I would have continued but Amethyst forced me to the bed in a kiss.

“Something fun.” Amethyst kissed me again.

Sometime later

I was laying there with Amethyst. Her gift to me was without a single doubt the best gift I had ever received.

The room was dark and I couldn’t see all that much but after a few seconds I realized there was a loud banging on the door. I unlocked the door after I threw the cover up over us.

Blaze and Violet burst through the door slamming it into the wall. They looked around for us before looking to the bed.

Violet trotted over averting her eyes from me. “Why didn’t you unlock the door earlier?” The sternness in her voice was unusual.

I cocked my head to the side. “How long have you been knocking?”

Blaze trotted over beside Violet. “We’ve been banging on the door for the past half an hour.”

“Why?” I sat up a little bit.

“Well somepony decided to put bugs in your room. So your little session was heard across the entire base.” Blaze pushed Violet towards a chair.

The blood drained from my face. “Wha.. What!?” I resisted the urge to jump out of bed.

Amethyst moved her head from my lap. “Just stay here Silver. Somepony just wanted to embarrass you. It’s better to not run out there right now and do so even more.” Amethyst pushed me back down to the bed. “Now just go to sleep.”

I glanced at Blaze and Violet. They nodded their heads and continued looking around the room.

I shrugged my shoulders and laid my head down. “Goodnight Amethyst.” I kissed her forehead.

Amethyst smiled. “Goodnight lovercolt.”
