A few days later, a thud is heard in the mountains above Ponyville. "What is that?" inquires Princess Twilight. 

"The Great Dragon has awakened and he's mad, very mad," responds one of her guards, Golden Sheath. 

"That can't be good," says Twilight frightened.

"It's not," responds Golden Sheath. "You can send some of your best warriors to kill it."

"Good idea," responds Twilight, "go get a squad together to go kill the dragon, Golden Sheath."

Golden Sheath nods and goes and sets up a dragon killing squad. Once he briefs them on everything, he hands them their spear guns and they go out and into the mountains to face off against the dragon.

"Please stay safe, Golden Sheath," prays Twilight as she stands in front of the window. "I love you and don't want you dead." A tear falls from her eye to the floor. She then goes into the throne room and sits on her throne and do her duties of the day. 

Meanwhile, at the cave, Golden Sheath and the other warriors face off against The Great Dragon. At one point, they get him in his wing and several hours later, they get him in the other wing, making him unable to fly. They then distract him by going through his legs while Golden goes up his back and shoots him through with a massive spear, which kills him. As the dragon falls to the ground, he lets out one last breath of fire from his mouth before falling completely to the ground and closing his eyes. Golden Sheath and the others then return to the princess with the good news.

Once back at the castle, Golden Sheath enters the throne room and tells the good news to the Royals. "Good news!" says Golden Sheath. "We have slain The Great Dragon."

"That's wonderful!" exclaims Twilight.

"Indeed it is," agrees Cadence.

"You did well, solider," says Shining Armor with a proud look in his eyes.

"Thank you, all of you," responds Golden before bowing and leaving the room. Twilight then chases after him and catches him off guard and gives him a kiss on the lips. 

"Wha...what was that?" he then says startled as Twilight lets go.

"I don't know," says Twilight backing away and running off embarrassed. She can't believe she actually did that. What is he going to think of her now? She really isn't eager to find out. 

Once alone in her room, Twilight plops down on her bed and just cries. She can't believe she actually kissed him. She can't believe she got so carried away. A few minutes later, Cadence enters her room. "Hey Cadence," says Twilight glumly. "Come over and sit down." Cadence nods and goes and sits next to Twilight on the bed.

"Still embarrassed over the little kiss, aren't you?" sighs Cadence sweetly.

"Yeah, what was I thinking?" responds Twilight. "I blew all my chances of actually dating him now." 

"Maybe not," responds Cadence, "go and apologize to him." 

"Okay," sniffles Twilight. "I will, once I calm down a little bit, that is."

"Okay," responds Cadence as she sits there and strokes Twilight's mane with her hooves. 

A few hours later, Twilight goes and apologizes to Golden Sheath, who happily accepts it then asks her out on a real date. Ecstatically and thrilled, Twilight embraces him in a hug and tells him to meet her back in the gardens in two hours time to which he happily agrees. Twilight is just glad they saved their relationship. To her, that means everything.
