//------------------------------// // Tipsy // Story: Unromantic // by Storylover-Vodhr //------------------------------// She really should be annoyed. And she had every right to be. And yet... "Between you and me~" Twilight couldn't bring herself to feel anything besides a bit of exasperation, and a whole lot of amusement. Sure, it was cider season, and Rainbow did have the entire week off, but... she had hoped that it would've taken her a bit longer than twelve hours to get completely smashed. At least there was no one besides her here. Dash would've been completely mortified if anyone else saw her like this. "It's a body shock~" Twilight continued to stare. Maybe... she should get rid of her surprise gift. At the time, a whole barrel of Apple family cider sounded like a great surprise gift, something they both could enjoy and occasionally have, but, if this was how she got while her supply was limited to a couple mugs, then Twilight didn't want to know how Dash would get with enough cider to cater a large party with. "Electic- electricity~" "Dash..." "There's energy~" Great. Now she was looking directly at her. Dash clumsily sauntered up, and put a clumsy wing around her side, and gave Twilight a drunken, sloppy nuzzle. "Between you and me..." She continued to press against her, and then, Twilight realized that Rainbow was using her to keep herself from falling. "It's a body shock-*hic*" Twilight couldn't help but roll her eyes with a smile at Rainbow's dopey, love-struck grin, but leaned against Dash anyway, and matched her Marefriend's last line. "Electricity~" The drunken mare gave another clumsy nuzzle, and pulled back to give Twilight a huge grin. "So... Twilie~" At that precise moment, Twilight decided that she had enough of Rainbow's drunkenness, the instant she heard the name Twilie come out of Dash's mouth. "Alright, I think it's your bedtime, Dashie." The rainbow mare didn't respond, and instead, tried to gnaw on Twilight's ear. She only managed to get her own mane, however, and she grumpily spat it out. "Let's take you to bed." Dash continued to ignore her. "I love ya, Twi." Twilight smiled again, this time a bit softer. "And I, you." "No.... I love ya a ton. Like, a super ton. Like... more than I'm awesome, ton." Great, now she was rambling. She needed to get her to bed, quick, before Twilight got her ear talked off. The Alicorn then moved to try and grab Rainbow with her magic, but the mare squiggled away at the last second, and looked at her straight in the eyes. "And... uh, I know that it screws up, like... everything, but... wanna marry me?" It took Twilight a second to understand what Dash had just asked, but once she did, her heart stopped, and she froze in place. "I've been tryin' to ask ya... but, well... I keep on chickenin' out. I had this whole big thing set up... where I'd make this totally awesome thing, at a show, and then... we'd all spell out da words... but... every time I was supposed to do the... signally thing, I wussed out. But..." Dash gave a drunk hiccup, and Twilight continued to be frozen in place. "Now that I'm, like, totally smashed... it seems so... stupid. The scared bit, I mean. I... I love ya. So... Wanna get married?" Twilight took a second to properly process what she heard and the emotions she felt because of them, but once she properly understood, she gave a small chuckle, before making a very happy, yet tearstrewn smile. Of course this would be how it'd turn out. And, sure, it was unorthodox, but... since when have they ever been a normal couple anyway? "Yes, Dash. I'll marry you." And, just like that, Dash smiled a brilliant, joyous smile, promptly lost her balance, and fell straight onto her face.
