Five months later, Velvet flies in her mother and sister for Hearthswarming and Nightlight returns home to the parks and to the love of his life. "Hello dearest," he says as he kisses Velvet on the cheek.
"Sister!" Velvet soon hears coming from the gate. She then runs over and embraces her sister in a hug. "I made you this," says Aura as she hands a painting to her sister.
"Thank you," responds Velvet as she takes the painting from her sister with her magic. "I love it."
"I'm glad," responds Aura. Velvet then walks into the park with her mother, sister, and boyfriend. A few moments later, she runs off and gets into costume before hopping onto her float backstage. "About time, Miss Velvet," groans her float's manager. "It's only ten minutes till start."
"Sorry," responds Velvet with a nervous grin, "I was just seeing my mother and sister."
"It's fine, at least you're not completely late," moans her manager as he roles his eyes and wanders off to make sure the mechanics of the float are working properly.
Meanwhile in the crowd, Aura, Velvet's mother, and Nightlight are in the very front row. Aura is wearing a Snow Veil shirt. "Somepony inspired by her big sis, huh?" asks Nightlight.
"Yeah," sighs Aura. "She means everything to me. I wanna be just like her someday."
"Yeah, who wouldn't want to be like her?" Nightlight whispers to himself yet accidentally out loud.
"You want to marry my sister, don't you?" asks Aura.
"You're a smart filly, and yes, yes I do," sighs Nightlight. "Oh so very much."
"Then why haven't you asked her yet?" asks Aura confused.
A few moments later, the parade begins. Aura cheers as she sees her sister's float come into view. Nightlight cheers right along with them before looking down at a box with a ring inside on his hoof. He then closes it and gets back to cheering. "Later, after the parade," he sighs. After five hours, the massive parade comes to an end and Nightlight runs off to find Velvet.
At her float, Velvet is shocked to come down to Nightlight awaiting her. "What are you doing back here?" she asks puzzled. "This is for performing cast members only."
"Well, can we go somewhere private then?" asks Nightlight.
"Fine," responds Velvet. She then leads him to a private, unused abandoned stage. "Now what did you want to ask me?"
He then gets down on one knee and pulls out the ring. "Velvet? Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" she exclaims as she takes the ring from him and slips it around her hoof after attaching it to a spare ribbon that she found on the floor as she didn't want it to show under her wig by hanging around her horn.
