>so now you're engaged
>you sure as hell didn't see this coming
>the crowd is just staring at the two of you, unsure how to react
>you know what to do
>you forcefully grab both sides of Twilight's head and kiss her
>you open your eyes a little to see her expression
>her eyes are wide open
>her pupils are pinpricks on a purple background
>you smirk as best you can while kissing her
 
>you both slowly pull away from each other and look at the crowd
>they still don't know how to react
>you clear your throat and stand up
>you saunter over to the podium again
Let's start again... so... uh... I'm a human who's engaged to be married.
>crickets
This is my fiancee, Twilight Sparkle
>the crowd goes fucking nuts
 
>it's been an hour long Q&A
>Equestrians tend to ask the dumbest questions
>at least, they sound dumb to you
>a blue dragon asked if you had six fingers on one hand
>Twilight got unusually pissed off at this, but kept quiet
>you told him he was a dunce for thinking you had six fingers and the other attendees shamed him out of the convention hall
>you felt kind of bad about it, but Twilight looked ecstatic
>you'll have to ask about it later
 
 
>Twilight was on your phone through the duration of the Q&A
>she was most likely bragging to her friends about the engagement
>she's so cute
 
>toward the end of the Q&A, you spit up a letter from Luna
>even though you're engaged to the most beautiful mare in Equestria, you're still a horny guy
>you need to see what's in that letter
>you discretely pocket the letter, hoping no one noticed
>you'll have to make it to the bathroom at some point to check it out
>for now, you're going to check out the convention with Twilight
>the horny mares have mostly been kept at bay since Twilight proposed to you
>you and Twilight, while still celebrities, are able to check out the convention with relatively little problem now
 
>you see a costume contest
>it's a bunch of ponies in human looking costumes
>oh god, furries (fleshies?)
>the judges of the competition give you their job since you're obviously much more qualified
>they're already in the penultimate round
>the only contestants left are dragons, since they can most easily emulate human hands
>one of the dragons is dressed as Nick Cage, classic
>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
>the third and final dragon is dressed as Micheal Jackson circa 1999
>you give first place to Micheal Jackson because he's the king
>you give second place to Adrien Brody because fuck Nick Cage
 
 
>you can tell Twilight doesn't really want to roam the human-convention
>she just wants to talk to you about your future together
>understandable
>you and Twilight make your way to the food court
>she goes to the sushi place and gets some tofu-sushi
>you get the same because what the hell they don't have any meat
>it's awful
 
Twi, I can tell you want to talk. You've been so quiet since you proposed, it's scaring me. What's going on?
>Twi:"Oh... I think I'm just in shock. I don't think it's sunk in yet."
I was thinking next spring.
>Twi:"Wh-what?"
We'll get married next spring.
>Twi:"I know what you said, but it JUST turned fall. That's... so far away..."
What did you have in mind?
>Twi:"Well... I thought maybe tomorrow."
>you almost spit sushi all over her face
TOMORROW?
>Twi:"Yeah."
Twilight! That's going a bit fast! We're going fast as it is! We started dating a month ago."
>she looks downcast
>Twi:"*sigh* You're right..."
Twi, I love you, but we haven't even lived together yet. Don't you want to try that first?
>Twi:"If you only wanted to live with me, why did you say yes when I asked for marriage?"
Well duh, we were going to get married eventually. I think we both knew that deep down.
>Twi:"If you were always going to marry me, why did you wait until I asked? Were... were you playing with my heart?"
What? No. I was just scared. Besides, I didn't always know.
>Twi:"But you just said--"
Shh... I'm an idiot.
>Twi:"When did you know?"
When we were... at your brother's grave.
>silence
I just... knew. I don't know how to explain it. A calmness just... washed over me when I realized it.
>Twilight smiles and looks up and over your shoulder
What're you looking at?
>Twi:"He's watching out for me! Shining Armor is making sure I'll never be alone!"
>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
 
----------
 
Do you love me because I'm like your brother?
>this catches her off-guard
>Twi:"Ummmm..."
It's okay. It doesn't have to be sexual or anything it's just--
>Twi:"There's similarities, right?"
Y-yeah.
>looks like your ruined her mood anyway, you're such an idiot
>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?
Not exactly. Is it because I'm a human?
>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."
You love me because I can tell you you're wrong?
>Twi:"No you baka! I love you because you tell me BOTH! You tell me what I do wrong AND what I do right!"
With a hint of love right?
>Twi:"Oh gosh, that helps too~?"
 
----------
 
>Twi:"Do you want to know when I... knew?"
Love to!
>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!"
>she giggle-squees
I've never known you to be so impulsive!
>Twi:"I know! I just... I don't even... it was the best feeling!"
 
----------
 
>you've been talking wedding concepts with Twilight for a couple hours
>eventually, you need to go to the bathroom
>you let Twilight use your phone to update her DeviantART with more details on the wedding while you take a bathroom break
>you almost forgot about the photo Luna sent you
>you decide it's best you throw it out without looking at it, it would be a betrayal to Twilight
>but before that... piss
 
>the florescent lights flicker on and off, seemingly at will
>this is a pretty grimy public restroom, but you've seen worse
>you've been to Appolusa
>you're alone in the bathroom when you hear the door creak open
>you don't really pay attention to who it is, but you can tell they're crying
>your first instinct is to think it's Fluttershy, but the sobs sound too boyish
>you finish your business and go to the sink to wash your hands
>the crying pegasus pony has his back turned to you and is crying into a corner
>he has a black coat and a whiteish blue mohawk
>his cries sound stifled, as if something was in his mouth
>you begin to wash your hands
 
>"You stole her from me."
What?
>"My wife."
I don't know what you're talking about.
>"Anon... heh... of course you don't remember my name. I moved away from Ponyville after the divorce."
>he's right behind you
>you turn around
>suddenly, his face is in your stomach
>he pulls away and stumbles back, falling down
>he can barely get the words out
>"T-take th-that you homewrecker"
>you feel a sharp, cold pain in your gut
>oh, you've been stabbed
