"That chocolate cake was so good! Well, the whole meal was all amazing!" Pinkie exclaimed as the two left the restaurant, stomachs full. Cheese smiled.

"Yeah!"

PInkie's ears folded back. "Are you sure you didn't spend all of your money? I could have helped with some of it, y'know."

Cheese chuckled. "Don't worry, Pinks. I still have money. And please don't feel bad; we should have fun tonight!"

Pinkie smiled. "Alright, alright." A smirk made itself known on her face. "So... we're going back to the grove?"

Cheese winked. "Yep. Boneless 2 is probably wondering where we are."

Pinkie beamed. "Alright! Let's race, then! I bet ya can't beat me this time!"

Cheese smirked. "Is that a challenge?"

Pinkie nodded. "You bet. And we're running."

Cheese nodded in response. "Alright. I'll let you count down."

Pinkie's eyes narrowed. "Three... two... one... go!" She yelled, the two firing from their spaces and running with all their might, stretching their hooves forward to get longer strides. It was more difficult for the both of them, considering they were completely stuffed, but they were still able to run at a good pace. They stayed next to each other, each trying to pick up pace as they exited Baltimare, earning angry glares from the ones they almost ran over. They continued to sprint to the grove, Pinkie then picking up the pace a good bit. Cheese put all of his strength into his legs, but he wasn't fast enough. Pinkie entered the grove a good two seconds before he did, trying to slow herself down. She eventually sat down, panting and wiping her brow. Cheese sat down next to her. In the midst of her tiredness, Pinkie smirked.

"I guess... I won this time... Cheesy-boy." 

Cheese controlled his breathing before kissing her cheek. "Oh, well. Gotta let you win at least once, right?"

Pinkie blew a raspberry at him before giggling. Cheese giggled as well, and the two shortly fell into a fit of laughter. It took a minute for them to regain themselves, but when they did, they stared into each other's eyes. Pinkie kissed him, and he eagerly kissed her back. Their lips stayed touching for a few more seconds before they parted, smiling. Pinkie lowered her eyelids. 

"So... are we gonna make out now?" She asked, the question causing Cheese to lightly flush. Cheese's glance darted.

"Um... I want to talk first."

Pinkie blinked, raising an eyebrow. "About what? Did I do something wrong?" 

Cheese frantically shook his head. "No! No, you didn't do anything. I just want to talk about something." 

Pinkie nodded, laying on her stomach. "Alright. What's up?"

Cheese fiddled with his hooves. "Um... do you remember when we were in Ponyville for a day about a month and a half ago?"

Pinkie nodded, her eyes brightening. "Yeah! That was amazing! We talked to my friends, went on a sweet date, and when we were snuggling, we said we loved each other for the first time! I will never forget that!" 

Cheese nodded as well. "Yeah! Well... I enjoyed it there... a lot. I actually... wouldn't mind if..."

Pinkie gasped. "Cheese... are you saying you want to live in Ponyville?!"

Cheese nodded. "I sure do, Pinks."

Pinkie burst from excitement, rocketing a few feet into the air. "Woohoo!" She exclaimed, descending back to the ground and passionately kissing him. Cheese kissed her back, smiling. They parted, Pinkie's smile now reaching her ears. "Oh, this is gonna be so great! I can't wait to get back!"

Cheese nodded. "Me, too! Also, sleeping on a bed is much nicer than sleeping on the ground all the time."

Pinkie giggled. "Well, my house has the most comfortable bed! You don't have to worry about being uncomfortable ever again!"

Cheese chuckled. "Now that is really something to look forward to," he said, kissing her cheek. Pinkie giggled for a second, but her expression quickly grew apprehensive as a thought crossed her mind.

"Wait a second..."

Cheese's ears flicked. "Huh?"

Pinkie looked up to him, her ears folding back. "If you live in Ponyville... you won't be able to travel around planning parties like you have been doing your whole life!"

Cheese put a hoof on her shoulder. "Pinkie, I'm aware of that. I've been considering this for a while, but I feel that moving to Ponyville will be best for the both of us. Think about it. I can't always be on the road my whole life, and I know you want to see your friends again and get back home. I can always go out of town to plan parties if I wanted to anyway. My Cheesy Sense isn't gonna just disappear."

"But..." Pinkie started, taking his hoof off of her shoulder and squeezing it. Cheese never let her finish.

"Pinkie, it's gonna be nice to not be on the road all the time. I've always wanted to settle down somewhere. The reason I never have is because... I've never had a real family. By that, I mean someone to love. Now... I have you." Pinkie's gaze turned soft as she gazed into his eyes. He smiled at her before continuing. "Pinkie, this brings me to my next topic... living with you. You are the most amazing pony ever, and I am more grateful than anything to have you all to myself. I love you. I love you so much. I can barely express how much I care for you." He stared at her, her eyes watering. Cheese kissed her forehead. He then reached to the side, where both Boneless 2 and his southern clothes were sitting. He squeezed Boneless, and out of his mouth and into Cheese's hooves flew a small black box. Pinkie giggled for a second, but she calmed herself down when she saw the seriousness in Cheese's eyes. Her eyes widened as they stared at each other. 

"Pinkie..." Cheese started. "You... changed my life. You saved me when you didn't even realize it. And, for that... I can't thank you enough." He then opened the box, revealing a ring with three gemstones: two sapphires with a light yellow citrine in the middle; the colors of Pinkie's cutie mark. Cheese smiled as her eyes widened and her jaw seemed to reach the ground. 

"Pinkie Pie... will you marry me?"

Pinkie gasped, a smile quickly taking over her face. "Yes! A thousand times yes!" She said, almost tackling Cheese to the ground in a hug. She wrapped her hooves around him as tightly as she could, feeling warm tears running down her cheeks. Cheese hugged her back with one hoof, the other still holding the ring. They separated, Pinkie then kissing him. He kissed her back as passionately as he could. They separated, Cheese wiping Pinkie's tears from around her eyes. She smiled.

"Cheese..."

Cheese took the ring out, the light of the setting sun hitting the gemstones, causing them to sparkle. Pinkie held her hoof out, and he slipped it around her hoof, Pinkie smiling.

"It's... perfect!" She said before hugging him again, trying to not dig the ring into his fur. He hugged her back, kissing her neck and earning a pleasurable shiver from her. They drew apart, Pinkie now staring at the ring and smiling even brighter. She then kissed him again, Cheese smiling against her lips. Their smiles never left their faces.

"Cheese..."

"What?" He asked. Pinkie lightly kissed him again.

"I'm... so excited to spend my life with you. I have been ever since the Choosing Stone led me to you."

Cheese lightly hummed as he kissed her. "Me, too."

Pinkie nodded, looking between the ring and him. She opted to kiss him again, Cheese returning it and pushing her to the ground. She giggled as he continued to kiss her, Pinkie returning the action with more intensity. 

As their lips touched each other's again and again, they felt a warmth build up inside of them. An excitement. A feeling unlike no other.

And they never wanted to leave.





The two lay next to each other, looking up at the stars. Pinkie never let the ring leave her hoof; it was a beautiful symbol of her love for Cheese. How they're going to be together forever. A warmth built up in her stomach at the thought.

"So... are you gonna help me plan parties for ponies in Ponyville? I know everyone's birthday!"

Cheese nodded. "Of course! That'll be fun!"

Pinkie smiled. "Yeah! It'll be a lot more fun with you." She looked to the moon, which was full tonight. She smiled as she looked all around her. It seemed that Luna knew what was happening tonight for her to create such a beautiful night. She couldn't take her eyes away from the sky. 

"It's so beautiful out here tonight."

Cheese nodded. "It is. A perfect night to propose, if you ask me."

Pinkie nodded as well. "Mmhm." She paused for a moment. "Say... when's the wedding gonna be?"

Cheese blinked. "I definitely want it to be soon, but I don't know how soon."

Pinkie waved a hoof. "Oh, I'm ready to get married as soon as possible!" She said, smiling. She then blinked. "Wait a second..."

"Hmm?"

"Am I allowed to plan my own wedding?" Pinkie asked. Cheese nodded.

"I think so."

Pinkie wiped her brow. "Oh, thank Celestia! I love wedding planning!"

Cheese chuckled. "Also, I wouldn't want another party pony planning it. After all, we are the best party planners in Equestria!"

Pinkie giggled. "Yes, I guess we are." She looked over to Cheese and kissed him, smiling. "So..."

"What?"

"If we were to ever have kids, what would you name them?"

Cheese's face burned. "Uh..."

Pinkie giggled. "Silly! It's not embarrassing!"

Cheese swallowed a lump in his throat. "Uh... hehe..."

Pinkie kissed his cheek. "Personally, I would name them whatever treat their color scheme reminds me of. Maybe a name like Macaroon, Mint Chocolate, Vanilla... there are so many possibilities!"

Cheese nodded. "I would have to agree with you there. Or I would name them after a sandwich."

"Like... one Peanut Butter, one Jelly?"

Cheese nodded. "Yeah. But that's only for twins, considering those two toppings have to go together to make a good sandwich."

Pinkie smiled. "Yeah, you're right." The two sat in silence for a few more minutes before Pinkie yawned. "I don't know about you, but I'm really tired."

Cheese nodded. "I am, too. We should probably go to sleep now." 

Pinkie turned and hugged him, prompting him to do the same. She buried her snout in his chest, breathing in his scent. Cheese kissed the top of her head.

"I love you, Pinkie."

Pinkie moved her head up to give him a passionate kiss on the lips. They kissed a few more times, smiling. 

"I love you too, Cheese. Forever and ever." 

The two smiled at each other before Pinkie scooted back down, now burying her face in his neck. She hugged him as close to her body as she could, never wanting to let go of him. As the two drifted off, there was only one thing that filled their minds:

Engagement. 

Marriage.

Their future. 

These thoughts relaxed the two of them, soon sending them into a deep sleep. Before going to sleep, Pinkie deducted that she had probably never smiled that much in her life. 

She knew right then that Cheese will keep her smiling her entire life, and she silently vowed to do everything she could to return the favor.
