It was cold as Apple Bloom looked at Gallop Crush with tears in her eyes.
“Oh G G Gallop, yes!” She answered with emotion and then she then immediately kissed her new bride to be. Then Gallop then placed the ring necklace around her neck.
They both kiss for roughly ten minutes. While that happened the memories were flying back from her past. Like the day Gallop saved her life from the thunderstruck tree branch that stormy night at the Crusader Clubhouse, Apple Bloom practising her kissing with Scootaloo (Which Scootaloo was a bit uncomfortable with at first then she ended up liking it) and the Rara concert in Manehattan which Apple Bloom took Gallop with Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and her cousin Babs to see as a Hearth's warming gift.
Apple Bloom and Gallop walked back into the tent. They then both got into the same sleeping bag and both fell asleep.
The next day, the sun rose high in the sky, birds were singing which Fluttershy would love to hear the sound off.
Apple Bloom and Gallop woke up as the sun light came into the tent.
“Morning babe,” Gallop said to Apple Bloom.
“Mornin' to you hun,” Apple Bloom said back. As the gazed at each other with their loving eyes.
All the other ponies however looked at Apple Bloom and Gallop Crush in the same sleeping bags in shock.
“What in tarnation Apple Bloom?!” Applejack said horrified.
“What going on?” Rainbow Dash then said.
“It not what it looks like sis, honest!” Apple Bloom said.
“Then what is it like, Apple Bloom?! Tell us now!” Applejack said with an angry tone .
“Pause for dramatic effect,” Rainbow said quietly without the group noticing and maybe with a snigger of laugher afterwards.
“Don’t Apple Bloom, I can take it from here,” Gallop bravely said.
Gallop looked at the group, took a deep breath and eventually said:
“Applejack, I like to say something… Something about me and Apple Bloom.”
“What is it Gallop? Come on, tell us now!” Applejack said impaitently.
“Well I'd like to announce something to all of you,” Gallop then said to the group nervously.
There was a slight pause after Gallop told what she said. Then eventually with a gulp, Gallop told the news to the group.
“Me and Apple Bloom are ..... She said with suspense, Engaged!”
The Group then gasped with delight and Applejack had a big grin on her face and rushed to her little sister and Gallop to congratulate them.
“SHIPPPP! As Mark Hyder would say,” Pinkie Pie said jumping up and down in delight.
“Would that explain the rings around your necks?” Rainbow asked.
“Er ... Yeah, Apple Bloom answered,” Apple Bloom answered.
“So that means Gallop's part of the family now, right Applejack?,” Pinkie asked with glee and excitement.
“In a way, I guess that's right Pinkie,” Applejack answered.
Then a static noise that broke the silence.
“Gallop come in please fast, Gallop Come in. It me Twilight,” Twilight said from the walkie talkie.
Gallop got up fast and went to the walkie talkie.
“Please tell me it's not bad news again Twilight, because that's what you seem to be famous for giving me these days. Gallop said with a stern sort of voice,” Gallop said.
“I'm sorry Gallop but it is,” Twilight said with regret and sadness.
Twilight hesitated and then said: “It's about .... your brother Bill!” When Twilight said those words, Gallop's felt that time had just stopped. She then dropped her walkie talkie. Did it break? Luckily, no but Gallop then let out a really big cry as if it were an eruption of sadness.
Twilight then tried and struggled but painfully managed to say: “Gallop, Dark Dash has killed him with his dark rainbow whilst working for the Royal Police Force.” She tried to say she was sorry. She managed to say it once but then Twilight began to sob.
“Sorry? Sorry?! That is exactly how my father died and to kill my big brother in the same way?! You really know how to give the news don't you?! Princess!!” Gallop said exploded with rage.
“Gallop! Gallop!” Apple Bloom interrupted. "It's okay,” She said then kissed her cheek. “You have me now Gallop. We're gonna be together for the rest of our lives, Please, hun. don't take your rage on Twilight, It's not even her fault. Besides if it weren't for her to pass you this info, we would be stuck and wouldn't know what to do", Apple Bloom persuaded her new bride.
“Oh. You're right Bloomie,” Gallop said tearfully. A minute later she picked up the walkie talkie and said: “Twilight? I'm so sorry for what I did,” "Don't worry Gallop, I understand how you're feeling, Twilight said not hurt but still felt sad.
Gallop then cried in Apple Bloom's hooves and the group all felt the pain as well. Poor Gallop why is Dark Dash so cruel on ponies? What does he have against ponies anyway?
After her loving Bloomie gave her a hug Rainbow Dash was the next pony to give her one. So while the ponies were grieving, Applejack decided to making some herbal tea to hopefully stop Gallop crying.
"Don't worry Gallop, Just think about all the happy times you had with Bill. All the fun times you've spent together. He lives in you Gallop," Pinkie Pie said to the grieving Gallop.
Gallop sighed and then answered: "I know Pinkie, Apple Bloom said that to me as well when I was a filly on that very special night of Hearth's Warming Eve."
Applejack returns with five full cups of nice smelling herbal tea that may keep not only themselves warm but their spirits too.
“Thanks Applejack, I'm so sorry guys about the way I acted earlier. I didn't mean to do that,” Gallop said with guilt.
“Gallop? Come here,” Applejack replied. Gallop then went over to Applejack and then sat by her side.
“I completely understand how acted Sugar Cube, It's ain't a nice feelin' to know that some one you love dies, I mean, how do you think I felt when I left my dear little Apple Bloom all alone while I was gonna be delivering pies then” .... “Alight Applejack we get it, we don't need to get into greater detail!” Apple Bloom interrupted with embarrassment.
Pinkie Pie then went off into a completely different subject:
"Hey Gallop? Apple Bloom? For your wedding party I was thinking I could bake for you a lemon cake with strawberry icing. The Lemon represents Apple Bloom and the strawberry icing? That could represent both your mane colours!" "That's sounds nice Pinkie Pie but could you do us a favour?” Gallop asked.
“Sure what is it?" Pinkie Pie asked. Apple Bloom and Gallop Crush looked at other in a "It should be obvious" look on their faces. "Do NOT play Love is in Bloom again". Apple Bloom answered.
“That's okie dokie lokie with me you beautiful mares in love. Don't worry, 'cause I got this!" Pinkie said with a wink.
“DON'T!” Rainbow Dash immediately interrupted.
“What?” Pinkie replied in confusion.
"Gallop?!" Can you hear me?! Gallop?!" said a male voice on the walkie talkie. "Doctor?" Gallop said with out hesitation to answer. "I may have shed some light to take away some of your sadness!" Doctor Whooves replied with a bit of excitement. "Oh? And what is this light you're giving me?" Gallop asked expecting the worst. A few minutes later, the walkie talkie responded by saying: "We found him!"
