Ponyville always had a story book village feel about it. The fact that it was now covered by half a pony height of snow only reinforced it.
All in all, as we trotted off the train, we were instantly hit with freezing air and whirling snow, causing Sunset to wrap her scarf a bit tighter around her neck, “More snow, really?” she asked and glanced up at the clouds, “What’s the weather ponies thinking!?”
“Plenty of snow is nice for Heartswarming day?” I suggested and shifted my wings, stretching then and folding them again.
“Well… yeah. But who likes shovelling snow?” she asked with a frown, “This is why I like living in the city!”
True enough. Could appreciate that, I felt pretty much the same way. Shovelling snow sucks and if I could avoid it, I would.
“Looks nice though.”
Sunset made a small sound in agreement, “Come on.”
Nodding, I trotted along next to her. I was a bit nervous about this, but… I also looked forward to seeing Sparks again.
I did bring the latest draft for my next book for her to look through. The chance to read a brand new book?
She’d love it.
Ponyville was a small town, the town library came quickly into sight. The sky was already getting darker as night were on the way. The warm lights from inside the library shone bright and welcoming through the windows.
Sunset quickly trotted up and pushed the door open, “Twi!”
No movement.
I moved up next to her and shared a look with her before I smirked, “Basement?”
Sunset grinned, “Basement,” she agreed, and we moved inside, putting our bags down by the door Sunset unwrapped her scarf and then headed for the door down to the basement.
By the time we reached the door, we could already hear Twilight from down stairs, “Spike! Where did I put note book! I had it right here!”
“Twi! We’re here!” Sunset called out.
There was a gasp from below and then a kind of purple whirlwind as the alicorn rushed up the stairs and tackled the unicorn onto the floor for a kiss, “Kitten!!”
I couldn’t help but grin. That’s bloody adorable!
Sunset kissed back, putting her fore legs around Sparks for a second before she broke the kiss and blushed slightly, “We have company.”
Twilight blinked at her and finally spotted me. She turned red and quickly scooted back and up, folding her wings and clearing her throat, “Oh! Uhm… H-hi Page.”
I grinned, “Oh, don’t mind me. Please, continue. I’ll just be over here, taking notes.”
“Page!” Sunset exclaimed and trotted up to smack my shoulder with her hoof as Sparks turned even brighter red.
I rubbed my shoulder and winked at her.
Sunset stuck her tongue out at me before she shook her head and turned to Twilight, “Twi… we kind of need to talk to you.”
Twiligh blinked and looked between us, “What do you want to talk ab… Oh!” she exclaimed with a smile, “her wings quickly going up, “We were right!”
I nodded, “You were. I suppose this should be a lesson to listen the ponies that know us the best,” I admitted before I grimaced slightly, “…Especially when the Alicorn of Food agreed with them.”
“Love,” Sunset corrected me, facehoofing, “Alicorn of Love. You spend way too much time with changelings.”
“I like changelings,” I protested before I shifted a bit, “…but admittedly, I shouldn’t be calling her tha-omph!”
I suddenly found myself in a hug from Twilight as she hugged me and Sunny tight,
“I’m so happy for you!”
“…Thanks, Sparks,” I said and hugged back.
She smiled and pulled back to look at Sunset, “During the trip to Griffona?” she asked and pulled back, folding her wings again.
Sunset nodded a bit, “…Yeah. Page were in one of my dreams and we had been fighting monsters. We were relaxing after and… kind of ended up kissing?”
Twilight laughed slightly and shook her head, “That’s so you two!”
I shook my head, “We just kind of wanted to tell you in person. I talked to Luna through a dream, but we kind of… wanted to let you know.”
Sparks nodded with a smile, “I appreciate it, but not we didn’t already know, despite what you two said,” she teased, “I’m glad for you two.”
Sunset moved up to give her a nuzzle and a kiss, “Thank you, Twi.”
Twilight nuzzled back with a smile and moved up next to Sunset, putting her wing across her back, “Are you two hungry? Getting about dinner time.”
“Yes please,” I agreed before I smirked at Sunset, “Kitten?”
The unicorn blushed dark red.
Angri bakon pone?
At least he didn't call her Princess of Food directly to her face.
I would say that Sunset was totally Adorkable©®֍℗™ . but Twilight has that word so copyrighted and trademarked restricted that has Xerox's lawyers envious.

Yet! He didn't call that to her face yet!
Kitty!
9202707
Only is he starts using it to tease Sunset, heh.
I hope that we'll see Cadenza's reaction to page calling her "alicorn of food"
That you were
Twilight... you're part of this relationship too you know
Seriously Twi, you're part of this too
Okay I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but why do you so often use were when was is needed? My guess is, with the consistency, English wasn't your fist language, but everything else is good, so I'm not certain, perhaps a learned habit that is hard to break. Normally I wouldn't ask but my brain has been shouting at me to ask from like chapter 30. So just why were rather than was? I'm not mad, not in the emotion sense anyhow, I just need to know. Thank you for any reply.
Indeed.
I really hope you write a piece were he accidentally calls Cadence that while she is present.
9203109
Yeah, I was thinking about that.
Would this mean that they all would eventually merge into one herd?
9203213
Swedish only have one word for that.'var'.
It's a surprising tricky thing to get through my thick skull.
If they all join into one herd, I feel really bad for Page come heat season.
9202785
Smexy?
9203254
Okay, thank you, had a feeling it was something like that. Kinda tough when the translation isn't one for one. So I guess var is just used and tense is inferred from context of the other words. Well you do an amazing job with your stories. Keep up the good work.
I love that nickname!
So this does beg the question; what are the dynamics?
Me-ow.
9203254
I guess that every language has some kind of issues like that.
English is a really sucky language in regards to the word "you" and a few other examples--"You" are the same for both singular and plural (although it is "you is" when singular 😉 ).
And while there are regional dialects in the US that corrected that problem, they all have their own problems in other aspects.
I always have to tell my friends from other countries that "I just use the English language--I didn't invent it! "
Me-ow!

I think its my last major hang up. Really annoying.
9203214
I thought he was referring to Celestia at first but Caddy works too.
Finally had time to catch up on this one. It has actually happened!! I think I just squee alloud. I’m ver pleased with this, but I must now ask if Page will start taking Twi out as well. That was the plan before Sunny swooped in to take his place after all.
Now I have a mental image of pony Sunset posing and batting a hoof along her face like one of those Japanese neko catgirls.
...thanks for that, Hiver.
hum so does this mean Twilight will also be in this little heard?
9205864
You can't say it doesn't look glorious, though!
9206126
That depends on Twi. Likely, but not surely.
https://youtu.be/uup_FxA1Pf0?t=2
9203413
Yeah, that definitely works!
9202780
Yet
9203254
This is true
Make that kitten purrr Page~♡
Kitten? That's a rather odd pet name to call your significant other
11566333
oh you sweet summer child
Kitten, because when she is going full cylinder she sounds like a Harley
Luna for the night, Sunset for the... yeah.
We still need someone for Twilight, midnight and evening!
