"I love her"

3 Years Ago
Zack awoke next to Kat, who was uttering something in her sleep. Zack patted her head and got out of bed. He then made his way into their little kitchen and opened the fridge. Inside was milk, water, orange juice, grape juice, apple juice, mango juice, kiwi juice, and tons of other juices. Zack took the mango and poured a glass. He then heard a yawn behind him and turned around.
"Morning." said Kat, rubbing her eyes.
"Morning." said Zack. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah." said Kt through a yawn. "I did."
Zack took a sip of his mango juice.
"Would you like some breakfast?" he asked.
"Sure." said Kat, sitting down at the table.
Zack took out two eggs and began making sunny-side up eggs. When they were down, he carried them over to the table and set one plate in front of Kat. He sat the other one down on the table and then sat down himself.
"Thank you." thanked the mare.
Zack hesitated before asking, "What are we?"
Kat looked up at him from her food. "What?"
"What are we, like... relationship-wise?"
This caught Kat off guard. "Uh..."
"I do love you, Kat." he said. "And you kissed me before. So..."
Kat nodded. "And I love you."
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"So... We're dating?" asked Zack hesitantly.
Kat smiled. "I guess we are."


Present Day
Pinkamena turned on the shower. When it was warm enough she got in. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of the water on her skin. May appeared in the doorway and leaned against the frame.
"Morning." she said.
Pinkamena opened her eyes and looked at May. "Morning. Gonna come in with me?"
May smiled. "Not this time. I already took a shower."
"Why so early?"
"I'm heading out for some errands." said May. "Not sure how long I'll be gone for."
"Oh. Well... Hurry back."
"I'll try, sweetie." said May. "In the meantime Dawn'll be here."
Pinkamena nodded and May left. After a few more minutes, Pinkamena shut off the shower and stepped out. After drying off with a towel, she headed to the den. Dawn was sitting on the couch reading a book. she looked up when she heard Pinkamena.
"Hi, there." she said sweetly.
"Hi." Pinkamena said with a wave.
She went over to the couch and sat down with a sigh.
"Is something wrong?" asked Dawn.
"I've..." Pinkamena began. "I've been thinking... about stuff."
"Stuff?" asked Dawn, putting her book down on her lap. "Like what?"
"Well... like..." she let out a sigh.
"You can tell me." said Dawn. "You can tell me anything."
Pinkamena took a deep breath. "I love May."
"We all know that, Pinkie." said Dawn with a giggle. "That's no secret."
"No. I mean I... really love her." Pinkamena paused. "I was actually thinking about asking her... t-to... um..."
"Ask her to what?" asked Dawn. Pinkamena eyed her. "Oh. You mean..." Her eyes lit up with delight. "Marriage?" Pinkamena said nothing but her face said 'yes'. "Oh, that's great!" said Dawn, hugging the pink mare.
When they separated, Pinkamena looked at her. "But I'm a little nervous."
"That's fine." said Dawn. "It's okay to be nervous. It happens to everypony."
"I'm more worried about the wedding."
"Really?" asked Dawn. "How so?"
"What will Ponyville and the other town think when they hear I'm getting married? And what will they think of May?"
"You're more worried about May, aren't you?"
Pinkamena looked away. "I..." She let out a sigh. "I don't want others to think badly of her."
Dawn put a hoof on her shoulder. "It's May's choice to be dating you, Pinkie. If she cared what others thought... wouldn't she have left you by now?"
The pink mare looked at Dawn. "You really think so?"
"I know so. May's very kind. She saw the good in you when no other pony would. I have no doubt that she'll stick by your side."
Pinkamena smiled. "Thanks, Dawn." She leaned in and hugged her. "Thanks a bunch."
"No problem." said Dawn. "But just one question?"
"Yeah?" asked Pinkamena.
"Can I be the best mare?"
Pinkamena smiled and pulled away. "Of course."
