After they left, Marianna looked at Shining and asked with a shiver, "Did she really mean that....about......ki.....kill....ing....Braveheart?"
Shining put his arm around her and sighed, "I don't know....but don't worry. I won't let her get him. I promise."
"Thank you, Shining!", she smiled, throwing her arms around his neck.
Cadance came into the room with Flurry, "Well, he's banged up pretty bad, but he'll be fine. Where are your parents?"
"Dad is taking Mom to the asylum. Where she won't be able to hurt Braveheart.", Shining said.
"Speaking of Braveheart, come look at this!", Cadance said, grinning from ear to ear.
They stood in the doorway to Twilight and Braveheart's room and watched as Twilight was kissing her unconscious plumber good night and curled up next to him before dozing off for a nap. Their snores in perfect sync.
"Aren't they adorable?", Cadance asked, making Twilight jump.
Twilight saw them and patted a spot next to her and motioned for Marianna to join her. Marianna climbed onto the bed and curled up with Twilight, their snoring getting back in time with Braveheart's.
"Awww.....cuteness overload!", Shining squealed as they went back to the living room.
After ordering a lot of food, and half a hour for it to get ready, Shining set the table, and Cadance played with Flurry. Braveheart limped out along with Twilight, who was beside him every step of the way, stuttering, 
"Oh! Be careful! Watch your step! Oh! Are you sure you don't want me to carry you? I can use my magic...."
"I'll be...agh!.....fine, Lady.", he replied, while grunting in pain, he took a seat at the table, Marianna sitting to his left, and Twilight to his right, nuzzling him.




After Velvet was taken to the asylum, the rest of their vacation went very well, and Braveheart and Twilight made a quick stop at Brooklyn to drop off Marianna, before they returned to Ponyville. Braveheart went back to his house in the hill, much against Twilight's will. She was now getting a little more protective of him since that last event.
"Gosh, Twilight! Sounds like your ma had a breakdown! Is Braveheart okay?", Applejack asked, after Twilight told her and the others about her vacation.
"Braveheart's fine. But I'm still a little worried....", she sighed.
"Oh, Twilight! I see you've developed feelings for him, haven't you? Well, in case you were wondering.....I saw him first! No fair!", Rarity smiled, before screaming.
"Rarity, me and Braveheart are dating!"
"Yeah, Rarity! Back it up a bit! Let Twilight have a chance! She's never had a stallion hit on her in her entire life! Right, Twi?", Rainbow asked.
"Never.......Braveheart makes me feel.....special....", Twilight sighed dreamily.
Braveheart, his leg in a cast, came up with a picnic basket and asked, "Hey, Lady! I just finished fixing Roseluck's water sprinklers, and I was wondering if you would like to join me on a picnic. Would you?"
She smiled and nuzzled him, "Of course I would, My Ironic Plumber...."
And her friends watched as they walked off, Pinkie laughing, "You see that, Dai? They're such a cute couple!"
(Shut up, Pinkie!)
