1 hour later on the streets of Paris…
“Okay, everypony let’s get on with getting to our destination but I also insist that we take the scenic route.”, Ocean suggested within respect of their added guests.
“That actually sounds fantastic!”, Blueberry said as they crossed the road.
Out of nowhere a distracted stallion pulling a taxi wasn’t paying attention and came within a fraction of a second from barreling into Paint and Rose.
“Hey! Sortez de l'idiot de la route!”, The driver yelled in prench.
“Translation please?”, EP asked Ocean.
“The driver just yelled at them to get out of the road.”, Ocean stated.
“Dit le trou du cul qui vient d'essayer d'aplatir ma petite amie et j'aime les crêpes!”, Paint yelled back in perfect prench as he stomped his hoof warningly before guiding the group across.
“To clarify, Paint got pissed that he and Rose nearly got run down by the driver. Thus he shouted back.”, Ocean again stated.
“Oh, then that makes perfect sense that he’d yell.”, Blue said with EP nodding in agreement.
“Anywho, Look! We’re passing by the Arc de Triomphe! Such a magnificent structure.”, Brick said as Blue snapped a picture.
“If you’d like, we can visit the Louvre tomorrow afternoon after my morning class”, Paint suggested to his brother.
“That sounds great! Plus that’ll give me a chance to see where exactly you work little bro.”, Blue said excitedly as he playfully ruffled his brother’s mane.
Paint snorted and rolled his eyes in annoyance as they continued on. Eventually they arrived at a run-down looking building. Ocean halted the group as he said that this was it. Then they all entered. What they saw could only be described as: Rowdy, Loud, Crazy and Cool...in other words…
“This place looks crazy! I love it!”, Rosie yelled over the music.
“It’s a Karaoke Bar! What did you expect?!”, Ocean yelled back before a thunderous applause ripped through the audience.
On that note, Paint pulled Ocean aside briefly to talk.
“Dude, why a Karaoke bar? Especially for a proposal?!”, Paint asked.
“Because this is actually where Brick and I first met!”, Ocean started before going into details of how he and his coltfriend met 4 years prior.
“Wow. That sounds like one crazy night, but at least it worked out in the end!”, Paint said as they found the others and grabbed a booth near the soundstage.
“Okay, at first I was hesitant but now I definitely wanna go onstage and do a song! What do ya say Paint? We can do our old routine to that one song?”, EP asked/begged her friend.
“Ohhhh, Em! Not that stupid routine again!”, Paint complained.
“Oh come on! I know you still remember it plus I’m sure they have the standard version of that song available. It’ll be fun!”, EP countered with a pout.
After a second as well as a near death-glare from Paint, he relented and agreed to it. Ep squealed like a filly as she dragged Paint up onto the stage before teleporting to the DJ booth to select a song. Teleporting back, she whispered something into Paint’s ear that made his face turn bright pink in embarrassment.
“What routine was she talking about?”, Rose asked Blue.
“You’ll see…”, Blue said with a cryptic smile as some **music** started.
After they finished to a loud applause, the two sat back down. Paint with a irritated scowl and EP with a smug grin.
“AHAHAHAHA!! I knew you were gonna hate that!”, Blue laughed before dodging a empty water bottle thrown in his direction.
“Shut it, Blueberry.”, Paint growled in embarrassment.
“Oh, c’mon Paint! It wasn’t that bad!”, EP said.
“She’s right, that was actually rather cute.”, Rose gushed in a way that a mother would over their obviously embarrassed foal in a costume.
“It was not! That was completely embarrassing and she knows it!”, Paint griped as he was pulled into a side hug by EP.
2 hours later…
“Paint, you got the song ready?”, Ocean asked.
“Don’t worry, Rose and I have got it covered.”, Paint said as the DJ came over and told Rose that she and Paint were up next.
“impressionnant! Merci.”, Paint thanked the DJ before he and Rose got up and headed to the stage.
Meanwhile, Ocean couldn’t have looked more nervous as he fumbled with the box in his jacket pocket. Blueberry noticed the sudden change in his demeanor and scooted over to him while EP and Brick sat and ate.
“Hey. You ok?”, Blue asked.
“Honestly? No. I’m completely terrified. What if something goes wrong? Or if he doesn’t say yes?”, Ocean said with a trembling voice.
“Hey, judging by the letters Paint’s sent home, which quite a few of them involve stories involving you, You seem like a pretty great young colt. On that note, I’m positive Brick will say yes. Believe me, I felt the same way when I proposed to Emmaline.”, Blue reassured him.
“Wait. But Paint said that you two were simply coltfriend/fillyfriend?”, Ocean said astonished.
“Yeah well...don’t tell Paint this but, I...actually proposed a month ago. We were planning on getting married here in Prance so that my little brother and only family wouldn’t miss it. As an added bonus, Emma’s always wanted a Prench wedding!”, Blueberry explained with a smile.
“Woah, when Paint said you were cool, he really meant it. Thanks by the way for the talk.”, Ocean said genuinely.
“No problem. Now shhh! Paint and Roseblossom are on.”, Blue instructed as they turned their attention to the pair standing on their hind legs and began **singing**.
🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
“Oh mon Dieu! This--This is the song we met to. Ocean that’s amazing and they are killing it!”, Brick exclaimed happily.
“Trust me, nothing is as amazing as you mon amour. But yes, they are--as they say in Manehatten--’sleighing it’ up there.”, Ocean complimented as well as acknowledged their friends’ performance.
(AN: See what I did there? HAHAHA! Kill me for that bad pun.)
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
As their performance drew to a close (as well as a uproarious cheer from the audience), Ocean lead Brick to the stage under the pretense that they’d be doing their comedy bit. When they got there, Ocean quickly grabbed a microphone before addressing the crowd.
“Umm...Attention à tous! Je vous présente une annonce spéciale.”, Ocean began before looking at a very confused Brick. “Brick, baby these past 4 years have been some of the best of my life. I honestly can’t imagine how my life would be if you weren’t in it. When we’re together, it is like a magic unlike any other.” he paused to slip the box out of his pocket “I feel as if this next question is a waaay long overdue one. The moment we met, I knew you were the one for me...so...Brickford Mason Wallflower…”, He paused for dramatic effect.
‘Brickford’, Paint Smear thought while resisting the urge to laugh.
‘Mason’, Roseblossom thought while resisting the urge to laugh.
‘Wallflower?’, Blueberry thought while resisting the urge to laugh.
“...Will you do me this great honor...and marry me?”, Ocean finished and looked up to a absolutely near hysterical Brick.
“Yes! Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you!!!”, Brick nearly shouted in happiness.
“Oh merci Celestia! You have no idea how happy you’ve made M--EE!!”, Ocean started before being lifted high off the ground by Brick. A deafening applause emanates from the crowd as Brick dd a very cliche dip kiss on Ocean.

1 hour later--at Paint, Ocean and Brick’s apartment building...
“Did that really happen? I mean...like are we seriously engaged?!”, Brick said breathlessly as the group ascended the last flight of stairs towards the two apartments.
“Yes babe! Yes it’s true! And I simply can’t wait to start wedding plans!”, Ocean replied equally excited.
“Ooooohhhh! Not so fast O’! If i left you two to plan a wedding, I can only imagine the horror show that would be!”, Rose stated bluntly.
“What!?! C’mon Ro, It wouldn’t be that bad!”, Ocean replied.
“Remember I let you plan my cute-cenera when I was 9?”, Roseblossom asked.
“Or my ‘congratulations-on-getting-a-job’ party you insisted we have?”, Paint added.
“Okay! Okay! So my track record for party planning isn’t the best but everypony still had fun right?! That’s what matters.”, Ocean defended himself to the amusement of the others.
“Even so, Please mon meilleur ami, I insist I get a friend of mine to help plan it out thoroughly!
Ocean sighed. Seeing as his best friend wasn’t going to relent on the matter, he caved in and agreed.
“Génial! I’ll get on ze phone and have her here within the next 2 days! This will be so AMAZING!!”, Rose near shouted in excitement.
“Why do I have the feeling that I’ve just unleashed a monster?”, Ocean whispered to Paint as they got to their respective apartments.
“Hmmm….possibly because you’re in for a hell of a time while planning for a wedding. Trust me bro, I have a little experience with these things. You’ll both survive.”, Paint reassured his friend before unlocking his front door and the group split up to the respective apartments.
