//------------------------------// // Fluttershy’s Proposal // Story: For Whom The Wedding Bells Toll // by TheSuperTransformerFan //------------------------------// It was a nice day at Sugarcube Corner. Everyone was there! Rainbow Dash, Applejack, The CMCS, Cozy Glow, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Moondancer, Starlight Glimmer, Dr. Fauna, and Shining Armor were all just discussing the face that Twilight Sparkle, the princess of Friendship and Fluttershy, the element of Kindness had announced their love for each other. “Hey, you know what I just realized?” Shining asked. “If Fluttershy and Twily ever have kids…” “Whoa-whoa-whoa!” Pinkie interrupted. “They’re having kids?!” “I call Godfather!” Rainbow called out a little too quickly. “You can't just call Godfather.” Shining said to her reassuringly. “Yeah, Don't you think her brother should be Godfather?” Moondancer asked. “Sure, if you cared enough to call it first.” Applejack said a little snarky, dodging a death glare and a punch from Rainbow. “Guys, we’re a few steps ahead of them.” Dr. Fauna said to remind them. “Yeah, big zero gravity moon steps.” Rainbow said jokingly. “Oh!” Moondancer said in astonishment. “Oh, I just thought of the greatest wedding gift to get you.” Just then, they all saw Fluttershy come in looking a little more nervous than usual. “Well, speak of the devil.” “Hey, Flutters!” Rainbow said. “Whatcha got there?” She noticed that she had a little black box in her hooves. “Yeah, whatcha got there?” Everyone else asked her. Fluttershy was pretty shy at what she was about to do with Twilight, but she took in a deep breath and decided to tell them. “Girls? I’ve got something important to tell you.” She said. “I’m gonna ask Twilight to marry me.” Everyone spat out their shakes and/or cupcakes at the kind Pegasus’ latest announcement as they turned to her. “Wait a minute, is this, is this for real?” Rainbow asked in shock. “Yeah, check out the ring.” Fluttershy said as she opened the box, revealing a diamond ring inside it. Everyone oohed and aaahed at the sight of it. “Oh my Celestia!!” Rainbow and Applejack said in shock. “So you two are really serious?!” Starlight asked in shock. “Yep, pretty much.” she said as she blushed happily. “You-you’re gonna get married?!” Shining Armor asked in shock and excitement. “I mean… I’m gonna be a brother-in-law!” “I think I’m gonna cry!” Moondancer said in amazement. “Golly, that is the most beautiful engagement ring ever!” Cozy said in amazement as well. “Okay, well tonight’s the big night.” Fluttershy bravely told them. “Yeah?” Everyone asked, wanting to know more. “Okay listen, how are you gonna ask her?” Pinkie Pie asked curiously. “It is going to be perfect. I am taking her to her favorite restaurant.” Fluttershy said about her plan. “I’m going to get her a bottle of the champagne that she really loves; therefore knows how expensive it is. Then when the glasses are full, instead of proposing a toast I’m just gonna propose.” “Ohh…” Dr. Fauna started to say. “That sounds perfect!” Rarity said in agreement. “If You’re gonna mess it up, let us do it.” Applebloom said while her friends were grinning, “I’m not gonna mess it up.” Fluttershy said in shock. “If she says no, can I have the ring?” Rarity said. “She’s not gonna say no.” Fluttershy told her seriously. “If!” Rarity warned her. “I won’t mess this up! I promise I’ll just propose to Twilight saying that I love her and that I want to marry her. Nothing more.” Fluttershy said as she got up and left to go get ready for her date. Later that night at a restaurant, Fluttershy and Twilight arrived at their table with the kind one checking her makeup and Twilight was smiling at her sweetly. The kind Pegasus checked to see if she still had what she had. Sure enough, she did. “What are you doing?” Twilight asked as she saw her lover patting her legs. “One nation, under God. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” She said, covering up the fact that she was nervous. “I remembered it. The champagne is here.“ she said as the waiter brought out said drink and poured it into their glasses. “Are you okay?” Twilight asked her lover because of how she saw her fretting and how nervous she was. “Yes! Yes! I’m good!” Fluttershy said, covering it up. “Are you good? Are you good? Is everything—are you—are you perrr-perfect?!” She smiled. “Yeah. I’m okay. I’m actually—I’m a little cold.” Twilight said as she started to shiver. “Can I huddle to you?” “Oh, yeah.” Fluttershy said as she moved over to Twilight, putting her wing around her lovingly and holding her close to her. Twilight was confused by all this, but Fluttershy got it all handled. “But uh, other than that, are you okay? Are you okay?” Twilight giggled nervously for a little bit. “Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked. “Yes! I’m fine.” Fluttershy Said still nervous. “In fact I’ve been fine for a long time now and I think, the reason is you.” Twilight’s eyes widened in shock as she was suspecting what this was all about. “Ohh that’s sweet!” Twilight said sweetly, still feeling a little suspicious about what was going on. Fluttershy took in a deep breath and was ready to make her move. This was it! There was no turning back. “I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it. Then I realized the only thing that matters is that you.” She said as she got out her black box. “You make me happier than I ever thought I could be. And if you’ll let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.” She opened the box to reveal a diamond ring. Twilight saw it, and started to cry tears of joy as she saw how nice the ring was, AND that Fluttershy had worked her way up to this one moment. “Princess Twilight Sparkle, will you marry me?” Twilight smiled widely and was tearing up happily as she was seeing her lover proposing to her. She loved her so much, and she wanted to show it. She took the ring and placed it on her horn. “Oh, Fluttershy!” She said, tears welling up. “I will!” She hugged her lover in honour of this moment, because now they were an engaged couple and they were finally getting married together! This would be the best moment of their life as they would now begin as an engaged and soon-to-be married couple. Fluttershy smiled, knowing that her plan to propose to the princess of Friendship went without a hitch. This night had been perfect.
