  9. >so now you're engaged
  10. >you sure as hell didn't see this coming
  11. >the crowd is just staring at the two of you, unsure how to react
  12. >you know what to do
  13. >you forcefully grab both sides of Twilight's head and kiss her
  14. >you open your eyes a little to see her expression
  15. >her eyes are wide open
  16. >her pupils are pinpricks on a purple background
  17. >you smirk as best you can while kissing her
  18.  
  19. >you both slowly pull away from each other and look at the crowd
  20. >they still don't know how to react
  21. >you clear your throat and stand up
  22. >you saunter over to the podium again
  23. Let's start again... so... uh... I'm a human who's engaged to be married.
  24. >crickets
  25. This is my fiancee, Twilight Sparkle
  26. >the crowd goes fucking nuts
  27.  
  28. >it's been an hour long Q&A
  29. >Equestrians tend to ask the dumbest questions
  30. >at least, they sound dumb to you
  31. >a blue dragon asked if you had six fingers on one hand
  32. >Twilight got unusually pissed off at this, but kept quiet
  33. >you told him he was a dunce for thinking you had six fingers and the other attendees shamed him out of the convention hall
  34. >you felt kind of bad about it, but Twilight looked ecstatic
  35. >you'll have to ask about it later
  36.  
  37.  
  38. >Twilight was on your phone through the duration of the Q&A
  39. >she was most likely bragging to her friends about the engagement
  40. >she's so cute
  41.  
  42. >toward the end of the Q&A, you spit up a letter from Luna
  43. >even though you're engaged to the most beautiful mare in Equestria, you're still a horny guy
  44. >you need to see what's in that letter
  45. >you discretely pocket the letter, hoping no one noticed
  46. >you'll have to make it to the bathroom at some point to check it out
  47. >for now, you're going to check out the convention with Twilight
  48. >the horny mares have mostly been kept at bay since Twilight proposed to you
  49. >you and Twilight, while still celebrities, are able to check out the convention with relatively little problem now
  50.  
  51. >you see a costume contest
  52. >it's a bunch of ponies in human looking costumes
  53. >oh god, furries (fleshies?)
  54. >the judges of the competition give you their job since you're obviously much more qualified
  55. >they're already in the penultimate round
  56. >the only contestants left are dragons, since they can most easily emulate human hands
  57. >one of the dragons is dressed as Nick Cage, classic
  58. >the second dragon is an almost life-like interpretation of Adrien Brody from King Kong, his nose is a bit too small to pull it off though though
  59. >the third and final dragon is dressed as Micheal Jackson circa 1999
  60. >you give first place to Micheal Jackson because he's the king
  61. >you give second place to Adrien Brody because fuck Nick Cage
  62.  
  63.  
  64. >you can tell Twilight doesn't really want to roam the human-convention
  65. >she just wants to talk to you about your future together
  66. >understandable
  67. >you and Twilight make your way to the food court
  68. >she goes to the sushi place and gets some tofu-sushi
  69. >you get the same because what the hell they don't have any meat
  70. >it's awful
  71.  
  72. Twi, I can tell you want to talk. You've been so quiet since you proposed, it's scaring me. What's going on?
  73. >Twi:"Oh... I think I'm just in shock. I don't think it's sunk in yet."
  74. I was thinking next spring.
  75. >Twi:"Wh-what?"
  76. We'll get married next spring.
  77. >Twi:"I know what you said, but it JUST turned fall. That's... so far away..."
  78. What did you have in mind?
  79. >Twi:"Well... I thought maybe tomorrow."
  80. >you almost spit sushi all over her face
  81. TOMORROW?
  82. >Twi:"Yeah."
  83. Twilight! That's going a bit fast! We're going fast as it is! We started dating a month ago."
  84. >she looks downcast
  85. >Twi:"*sigh* You're right..."
  86. Twi, I love you, but we haven't even lived together yet. Don't you want to try that first?
  87. >Twi:"If you only wanted to live with me, why did you say yes when I asked for marriage?"
  88. Well duh, we were going to get married eventually. I think we both knew that deep down.
  89. >Twi:"If you were always going to marry me, why did you wait until I asked? Were... were you playing with my heart?"
  90. What? No. I was just scared. Besides, I didn't always know.
  91. >Twi:"But you just said--"
  92. Shh... I'm an idiot.
  93. >Twi:"When did you know?"
  94. When we were... at your brother's grave.
  95. >silence
  96. I just... knew. I don't know how to explain it. A calmness just... washed over me when I realized it.
  97. >Twilight smiles and looks up and over your shoulder
  98. What're you looking at?
  99. >Twi:"He's watching out for me! Shining Armor is making sure I'll never be alone!"
  100. >you want to tell her that you'd love her no matter what ghost/spirit/force is watching over her, but you don't want to ruin her mood
  101.  
  102. ----------
  103.  
  104. Do you love me because I'm like your brother?
  105. >this catches her off-guard
  106. >Twi:"Ummmm..."
  107. It's okay. It doesn't have to be sexual or anything it's just--
  108. >Twi:"There's similarities, right?"
  109. Y-yeah.
  110. >looks like your ruined her mood anyway, you're such an idiot
  111. >Twi:"You're right. You do remind me a lot of my brother, but... I've thought about this before and... you're not the same. The reason I'm so attached to you is because you are like him but also because you're not. Does that make sense?
  112. Not exactly. Is it because I'm a human?
  113. >Twi:"No... it's because you're... supportive like Shining Armor, but... you also have the ability to tell me when I'm doing something wrong or dumb. You temper my madness. Shining loved me but he could never get me to be social like you can. He never even tried."
  114. You love me because I can tell you you're wrong?
  115. >Twi:"No you baka! I love you because you tell me BOTH! You tell me what I do wrong AND what I do right!"
  116. With a hint of love right?
  117. >Twi:"Oh gosh, that helps too~♥"
  118.  
  119. ----------
  120.  
  121. >Twi:"Do you want to know when I... knew?"
  122. Love to!
  123. >Twi:"It was when I was making that speech. I was saying what I loved about you and by vocalizing my feelings I knew that I needed you forever in that moment. I didn't even plan my proposal... it just... came out! I was so nervous but I knew you would tell me the truth and say... yes!"
  124. >she giggle-squees
  125. I've never known you to be so impulsive!
  126. >Twi:"I know! I just... I don't even... it was the best feeling!"
  127.  
  128. ----------
  129.  
  130. >you've been talking wedding concepts with Twilight for a couple hours
  131. >eventually, you need to go to the bathroom
  132. >you let Twilight use your phone to update her DeviantART with more details on the wedding while you take a bathroom break
  133. >you almost forgot about the photo Luna sent you
  134. >you decide it's best you throw it out without looking at it, it would be a betrayal to Twilight
  135. >but before that... piss
  136.  
  137. >the florescent lights flicker on and off, seemingly at will
  138. >this is a pretty grimy public restroom, but you've seen worse
  139. >you've been to Appolusa
  140. >you're alone in the bathroom when you hear the door creak open
  141. >you don't really pay attention to who it is, but you can tell they're crying
  142. >your first instinct is to think it's Fluttershy, but the sobs sound too boyish
  143. >you finish your business and go to the sink to wash your hands
  144. >the crying pegasus pony has his back turned to you and is crying into a corner
  145. >he has a black coat and a whiteish blue mohawk
  146. >his cries sound stifled, as if something was in his mouth
  147. >you begin to wash your hands
  148.  
  149. >"You stole her from me."
  150. What?
  151. >"My wife."
  152. I don't know what you're talking about.
  153. >"Anon... heh... of course you don't remember my name. I moved away from Ponyville after the divorce."
  154. >he's right behind you
  155. >you turn around
  156. >suddenly, his face is in your stomach
  157. >he pulls away and stumbles back, falling down
  158. >he can barely get the words out
  159. >"T-take th-that you homewrecker"
  160. >you feel a sharp, cold pain in your gut
  161. >oh, you've been stabbed
