3 Years Ago...
Zack was sitting on the couch, watching TV when Kat came through the front door.
"Hey, there... sweetie." he said.
Kat smiled at him, hesitating before she closed the door.
"Hey. Whatcha doing?" she asked.
"Just watching a little television." said Zack. "There's been a, uh... a story about Ponyville. About a certain pink mare."
"Pinkamena?" asked Kat, quickly sitting down with him. "What happened?" she asked quickly. "Is every pony okay?"
"Shh, shh..." Zack hushed. "Every pony's just fine. Pinkamena was actually taken to an insane asylum."
"An insane asylum?" asked Kat. "The one in--"
"Manehattan." Zack finished.
"Isn't that, like, d--"
"Directly west of here." said Zack with his eyes closed.
He let out a sigh and opened his eyes.
"What does that mean?" asked Kat. "Are we safe?"
"For now. But if Pinkamena finds out we're here... and she gets out..."
Zack stopped when he saw the frightened expression on Kat's face. He put a hoof around her and pulled her into a hug.
"Don't worry, Kat. I won't let her hurt you. Not again."
Kat hugged back. "I love you, Zack."
"I love you, too."


Present Day...
May opened the front door. "I'm home!"
Dawn set her book down and went over to her. "Hiya."
"Where's Pinks?" asked May.
Dawn tried to hide a smile. "She's upstairs."
May tilted her head in confusion. "Upstairs?"
Dawn nodded. "Go on."
May began making her way to the hallway, eyeing Dawn as she disappeared down the hallway. She made her way up the stairs and saw a light coming from the bedroom. May trotted up to the bedroom doorway.
"Pinkie?" she asked, standing in the doorway. The pink mare was standing next to the bed, candles were on the nightstands. "What's going on?"
May walked up to the Pinkamena.
"I have something I wanna ask you."
"What?" asked May.
Pinkamena took a deep breath. "May... Will... Will you..."
"Yes?"
Pinkamena took another deep breath. "May... Will you marry me?"
This caught May by surprise.
"Pinkie, I..."
Pinkamena nodded. "I understand. Too soon, right?"
"N-No." said May, placing a hoof on Pinkamena's shoulder. "Just unexpected."
"So... will you?"
May smiled. "Of course I will."
Pinkamena smiled and hugged her tightly. "I love you, May."
"I love you, too."
The pulled away and stared into each other's eyes. Then, Pinkamena leaned in and kissed her. May was a little shocked but closed her eyes and kissed back. The two then fell onto the bed, where they stayed for the rest of the morning.


	Later that night, May awoke with a yawn. She looked down and saw Pinkamena laying on her stomach. She smile and patted her head. She then gently slid out from under Pinkamena, careful not to wake her, and headed downstairs. She made her way to the kitchen and headed to the fridge. She then opened it and began searching.
"So..." came a voice.
May closed the fridge door and saw Dawn standing there. May smiled and nodded. Dawn's eyes lit up with happiness.
"Oh, May." she said, hugging her. "Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Dawn pulled back first. "We need to start planning your wedding." she said, cheerfully. "Big wedding or a small one?"
"Let's just take this slowly, okay?" said May. "And it may be a small one. I don't want Pinkamena to feel croweded by strangers. I may just invite our friends."
"Sounds good to me." Dawn said with a smile, heading out of the kitchen. "You two have fun."
May smiled and opened the fridge again. she grabbed a juice box and headed back to the master bedroom.
