Chapter 7: To Canterlot We Go!

"Are you going to go?" Midnight asked, giving Twilight a worried look. Twilight glared at him for a second before he expression softened with a sigh.

"I can't say no to Celestia" Twilight said quickly, "She's not only the princess, but my teacher as well!"

"Yeah, but, what could she want with you right now?" Midnight asked, making Twilight pause for a second. What would she want with me right now?, Twilight thought, looking at the scroll Midnight had handed to her little while before. After reading it over again she figured out why.

"She wants me to help her plan the weddings..." Twilight said slowly, remembering how well things went with her brother. Thankfully Midnight knew what had happened. Pretty well in fact, since he had actually been able to watch it all from the library's telescope. He moved forwards and put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder, lifting her chin up with his magic.

"Don't worry, things will go fine, trust me" Midnight said sweetly, cautiously moving forwards for a kiss, which Twilight accepted. The two of them kissed for only a moment, but to them it felt like a few hours had passed. They looked into each other's eyes as they broke apart, which helped to calm Twilight down a tiny bit.

"Can you go tell my friends about this, and bring them to Canterlot tomorrow for me?" Twilight asked, looking into Midnight's eyes for help, which he gave with a smile and a nod.

"Of course Twilight, but, you don't have to go yet, right?" Midnight asked, somewhat sheepishly as he looked at Twilight with a light blush on his face.

"No, but why do you ask?" Twilight asked, looking worriedly at Midnight, trying to look into his eyes again, but he moved his head every time she got close. Eventually Twilight got tired of struggling with him, so she used her magic to snap his head forwards, eliciting a small yelp from him.

"What is it Midnight?" Twilight asked, sounding as if she was scolding a child.

"Well, I was, uh, hoping we could maybe, well, you know..." Midnight rambled on, his eyes darting around in his head as he tried to avoid Twilight's gaze. Twilight was able to figure out what he was trying to ask for thanks to his bright red blush and the way he was asking, so she happily obliged. Leaning forwards, Twilight could hear a small squee come from Midnight, who was happy that Twilight had figured him out, and was happy to oblige him.

"Thanks Twilight..." Midnight said quietly after they broke apart. Twilight giggled and moved close to Midnight's ear, making him flinch.

"You can just call me Twily now" Twilight said seductively, making Midnight's face go deep red. She giggled as she pulled back and ran upstairs to collect some of her things. Midnight sat down at the table for a minute before Twilight came running downstairs and out the door, her saddlebags filled with things she thought she would need. Before Midnight could say goodbye she was gone, most likely having decided to magically transport herself there than have to wait for a carriage.

"Well, I better go get the rest of them..." Midnight muttered as he locked the library, using a key Twilight had sitting on the table in front of him. Before he headed off to find the other mares he thought about what was going to happen now, and hoped the other stallions had as much luck as him.

-------------------------------------------------

After running around Ponyville for the entire day just to find the other mares, Midnight finally returned to the library, albeit with five mares and a dragon in tow. As he opened the library the dragon, which he remembered as Spike, ran inside, eager to do, something. The mares on the other hand stayed behind, quietly chatting among themselves. Midnight turned around, something finally getting him to speak up as the mares started to talk louder because they were inside.

"What is making you guys talk so much right now?" Midnight asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Well, we did just get told we had to get married, so..." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically, making the other mares giggle slightly. Well, except for Pinkie Pie, she burst out into a fit of laughter. Midnight sighed as he turned back around to look for Spike, who he had guessed ran upstairs. As he made his way towards the door his guess was confirmed due to the sounds of scratching as Spike looked all around the room, for something...

"Spike?" Midnight asked slowly as he opened the door, Spike's scratching quickly stopping, "Is everything okay?"

"Uh, yea-yeah! Just cleaning some stuff up in here" Spike said, something off about his voice. Midnight decided to go into the room, and when he saw Spike throwing what looked like magazines into the closet he thought it would be fun to grab one and look at it.

"Woah, Playmare issue #385..." Midnight said quietly to himself as he looked at the magazine, "Didn't think Twilight would let you get something like this"

"Wha-" Spike started to ask as he looked up, seeing the magazine hovering in front of Midnight, wide open, "Hey! Don't look at my stuff!"

"Is everything okay up there Spikey Wikey?" Rarity asked sweetly, making Rainbow laugh.

"Is that really what you're going to call him?!" Rainbow laughed loudly, "That's priceless!"

"Oh be quiet, what did Mac ask you to call him?!" Rarity quipped, making Rainbow shut up. Rarity and the others started to giggle as Rainbow's cheeks turned a shade of purple. Taking the opportunity, Spike grabbed the magazine, pulling it from Midnight's magical grasp.

"So, Twilight know about these?" Midnight asked in a hushed tone so none of the mares downstairs could hear him.

"No, and I'd like it to stay that way" Spike grunted angrily as he went back to hiding his magazines. Midnight decided to help him, and picked up all the magazines, putting them all neatly away in the closet.

"Now that your stash is hidden, mind writing a letter to Canterlot for me?" Midnight asked smugly, chuckling quietly as Spike sighed.

"Who or what is this for?" Spike asked flatly.

"Canterlot Taxi" Midnight said, "We're going to need a ride to Canterlot first thing tomorrow morning"
