It's been only months, but I already love her more than anything. Our endless nights of talking and cuddling, the countless amount of stupid and silly names we gave each other, all of this and MUCH more is really what gives it the essence of perfection.
I found out we had a lot more in common than you could see. Sports, dreams, even politics, all were things we could pass back and forth effortlessly. But there was one thing that she had no clue about...music. Hah, of all the things too.
It was the biggest part of my life, and I knew I had to help her with this dilemma.
I was in shock and complete laughter as I watched my darling girl dance and squirm around to my collection. She found punk easily fitting with her own strong-willed self. But still, those dance moves could kill! Literally..haha.
Soon after her exploration of my collection, a rather spunky, bouncy pink haired somebody ran to us.
"Scootaloo!", she exclaimed. "You NEED to come to my party tonight! Oh it'll be wonderful! Balloons, music, da-..wait..Who's this guy?", her look turned to me. I, myself, not knowing who she was.
"Oh! This is Stratus! He's well erm...", Scootaloo was blushing.
"I'm her boyfriend.", I said with a smile.
"BOYFRIEND!?", the girl squealed, "YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!? DOES ANYONE ELSE KN-", Scootaloo interrupted.
"Pinkie quiet down! It's not that big of a deal, shesh..", she was really blushing now.
"Well where are my manners? Hiya! I'm Pinkie Pie!", Pinkie said with the brightest and largest smile one could ever imagine.
"Well it's a fine pleasure to me you miss Pie!", I laughed gently.
A strange one, she is.
After the bouncing conversations, she had asked us to her party.
"Well can you both go!? Oh everyone's just gotta know!", her smile returned.
"Only if you really wanna Stratus. We don't-"
"I'd love to. Especially with you.", I said knowing her heart fluttered.
So it was decided, I was to head off to my first "Pinkie Pie" party with the person I loved more than anything in this world, knowing it would be one of the best of times spent with her. But this would also be the most interesting party I had EVER attended.
Hours passed and the moon soon lite the night sky, shrouding us in complete and utter darkness. It was beautiful.
This wasn't an ordinary party, from what I heard from others. This was to be an eloquent one that actually had structure...I could've have NEVER guessed from how Pinkie was earlier that she could pull that off, but I awaited to see how it would turn out.
Scootaloo had told me to go on ahead because she was still getting ready. I was wearing my father's tux. A person who, among others, had pushed me away so often gave me something of his that actually meant more than words to him.
"I'm proud of you. Really, I am.", he said to me. "This was the suit I wore when I met your mother.. "
"Thanks dad..", a soft smiled lay on my face.
I've hoped for the best, and now I'll wait.
As I waited for Scootaloo to arrive, I was greeted by many of the others that she had befriended throughout her life.
Twilight Sparkle, pretty much a book-nut who loved magic and her little pal Spike, a hyperactive, green-haired sprout. Then I met Applejack and Rarity, the older sisters of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, who were practically the older versions of their younger sisters....or that's at least how I saw them, haha.
But to my surprise, there was no sign of Rainbow Dash. The others had said they hadn't seen her for some time, but they knew she would eventually turn up sooner or later.
Time passed, and conversations carried. But at last, she arrived. My God...her beauty wasn't even comprehensible. An angel would be an insult to how amazing she truly looked. So I did what I knew was best, I took her hand and led her inside. Now everyone could see that someone who seemed to not even exist was with someone who thought she had no one.
They all were more than happy for us, ecstatic really. I honestly couldn't count all of the, "Congratulations!", "You all are soooooo cute!", etc etc.
Still, even while all of this was going on, I couldn't help but look at Scootaloo. It's like I wasn't even there, and that we were both just alone and the happiest we could be..I loved every millisecond of it.
The hours of silly dances, wonderful tasting beverages and foods, and laughs really brought the night alive. I had never had so much fun in my entire life! Exchanging our 'expert' skills, Scootaloo busted out a few moves from earlier in the day, which left most in tears of laughter.
Then, out of a sudden stillness, a slow dance song came over the speakers. I couldn't help but blush as I looked to Scootaloo.
"I...I-I've never danced like..", she said bashfully.
"Neither have I darling....But lets just try, ok?", I took her hand.
I pulled her close and began to sway with her. Our feet practically gliding across the floor like slick but smooth enough ice you could easily walk upon and never lose balance. It was truly magical.
Tonight.
As we continued, I looked into her eyes and had paid no attention, if any at all, to the others around who had stopped dancing. We were by ourselves, but it had felt like it from the start. Like that was all that mattered, her and myself. Which lead to what came next, something I had been waiting to tell her since the day in the clubhouse.
I took all of the courage I could and looked into her beautiful, soft purple eyes and said, "Scootaloo...there's something I've been meaning to tell you.."
She stopped us briefly and asked, "Yes..?"
The music became ambient and represented simple background noise, my voice carried, "I...I love you."
I could feel her grip around me tighten as she pulled me closer, tears falling down her smile, "I love you too Stratus..you have no idea how much that means to know you feel the same."
The room remained quiet, and then with a great roar, "NOW KISS!" was exclaimed throughout the room. This was none-other than Spike, but it had gotten the others cheering and wanting to see if we were going to keep true to our words.
I smiled at the most amazing person in my life, and she smiled back. We kissed passionately and deeply, the clapping and excitement soon following after. Inseparable was exactly how we were.
The party soon came to an end and we said our goodbyes to those who we could catch at the last minute.
Scootaloo looked to me and said, "C'mon..we're gonna go somewhere."
Curiosity struck me with the ut-most interest, and I quickly followed behind her.
She led me to the clubhouse where I had confessed how I really felt, and proceeded to lead up the ladder and inside.
"The bed's not much..but I figured we could be alone tonight," she said as she went to lay down.
I rummaged through what appeared to be a small craw-space and found a large blanket. I threw it over her and myself and pulled her ever so close. We were both exhausted and never wanting this night to end.
Scootaloo looked to me and I looked back. We kissed again and again. I held her tightly, and she never let go of me.
"I love you" is what escaped both of our lips before we drifted off to sleep.
"I love you"
