//------------------------------// // Mirrors Part 2 // Story: Spring Break // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Just a few moments ago, this woman had me tied to a chair. And technically, it's all my fault. But from the sound of my counterpart, I can't blame her. I can't imagine ever going through hearbreak like that and by such an underhanded tactic. Then again, I've never had a girlfriend before., Mirror Sombra thought as he walked with Celestia. "So, uh, where did you feel like going?" "I was thinking nothing too advanced. Does Sugar Cube Corner sound good?" "Perfect!" Good! Starting simple. I hope I don't screw this up... Sombra held the door for Celestia. "Ladies first." "How sweet of you..." Sombra pouted. "That was too easy!" "Maybe. But you've got a lot to make up for on behalf of your counterpart.", Celestia said with a playful smirk. "I guess. But what else am I going to have to do to make up for my counterpart's actions?" "You can relax. I'm not the vengeful type. Your counterpart didn't make it THAT far with me. So you don't have that much to make up for. No need to freak out.", Celestia said with a kind smile. "That's awfully kind of you.", Sombra said with a smile. "So...what other items are on the to-do list?" "Besides this date, there's one thing. I'll tell you where and when that thing is." "Come on! A hint? Please?" Celestia giggled. "Nope. Now it's cake time." The two enjoyed their sweets, and were soon on the move again. "I'd like to head home now. If you don't wind walking me all the way back that is." Sombra blinks before offering her his back. "I'm no duel monster, but I think this should serve as one of the items on the to-do list." Celestia blinked and smiled. "The Sombra I knew would never do something that sweet. Maybe...you're not so bad after all." Sombra lifted Celestia onto his back and carried her. As he walked, Celestia frowned. "...I'm sorry." "For what?", Sombra asked. "For being so hard on you just because you shared the face of an old enemy. I was probably no better than your world's me." Celestia was surprised when Sombra set her down and gripped her shoulders! "Don't you DARE compare yourself to her!", Sombra said as his eyes teared up. "From what I've seen, you're NOTHING like that vile witch! You've been kind to me even if my face reminds you of someone who caused you so much trouble." Sombra managed a smile. "So please...don't hate yourself. Sure. Mistakes were made. But who knows? Maybe they were meant to happen. From then on, you've walked out stronger. So that maybe...I could find you. My wish before I came to this world was for one who mirrored my heart. And when I think of that, all I see is you. So I guess what I'm trying to say is...will you be my heart's reflection?" Celestia's heart was pounding as she blushed. "I will. But first, it's time for that item I was talking about." "Name it. Anything!" "...Kiss me." Sombra was puzzled. "Is...is that all?" Celestia nodded. "The Sombra of this world's kiss felt oily, and dark. But since you're different...I'd like to know what your kiss is like." Celestia cupped Sombra's face in her hands. "...You need only ask, my princess." Sombra planted his lips on hers. The two didn't part until a full minute had gone by. "...That was so sweet.", Celestia said with a blissful smile. "I'll gladly be your heart's mirror." Sombra and Celestia were crying happy tears. "...Then I'll be the mirror to your heart as well." The two shared a tight embrace. "So...when can I see you again?" Celestia smiled. "Moon told me about a beach trip she and the others had planned. I think that's be a good time." "That's perfect!", Sombra cheered! "I guess I'll see you then!" Sombra was about to race off for home when realized something. "Uh oh! I'm a permanent resident of this world now! That means I've got no home here!" "In that case, how about I fix that? My house has an extra room, and I'd be more than happy to help you obtain some extra garments." "Celestia...are you offering me a stay at your place?" "If Moon and Burst can share a house, I don't see why we can't.", Celestia answered with a warm smile. "Come on. Let's head home. And this time, don't worry about carrying me." As they walked, Sombra latched his hand onto Celestia's. She didn't mind in the least, and smiled. "It looks like I've found the one who mirrors my heart too."
