//------------------------------// // Chapter 48: Love Is Eternal // Story: How Did I Get Here? // by k12314 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 48 AUTHORS NOTE: As I said in my recent blog post, I need voice actors for the Audio Book of this story. Just see the post for details. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance! "*Yawn*" I woke up, groggy from all of the moving. I had to move all of my DJ equipment into the attic...I was aching all over. I had slept in my clothes. I started getting undressed to put on a fresh outfit. I took off my sneakers... And immediately fell through the floor of the cloud home. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Here we go again... I was just about to hit the ground, when a purple glow surrounded me. "You took off the sneakers, didn't you?" Twilight saved me. "Yep." "Don't worry, I have a spell to fix this." "OK... But try not to nearly kill me like the last two times." Twilight smiled sheepishly, and let me go. "Alright... Hold still..." "Maybe agreeing to these spells is a bad idea... Oh well." ZAP! I felt a tingling sensation, then I felt power surging through me. "There. I've given you the ability to walk on clouds." "Is it permanent?" "Yeah. It's a much stronger spell then what I used when me and everypony else first went to Cloudsdale." "No side effects?" "None." "Thanks Twilight... Can you float me back up to the house?" "Sure." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I sat on the bench outside of the jewlery store. "Me and Dashie have done... It... And we are raising a foal now... I think I need to move this relationship one step further..." I looked at the packet of proposal earrings I had just bought. I was thinking of all the ways this could go wrong... "OH GODDESSES..." I shook off the thoughts, and put the earrings back in their case, and in my pocket. "Oh man... I dunno what to do..." "I've gotten into so many serious things here in Equestria over the past month and a half..." "Hey Kyle!" Derpy hovered over to me. "Oh, hey Derpy. Where's The Doctor?" "He's waiting back in the TARDIS. I decided to come back home for a little while!" "Oh. Well, welcome back." "So, what was with the wedding earrings? Planning something special?" I blushed a deep red. "Ummm... Well... You see, I... Ummm..." "I hope you and Rainbow Dash are happy together." "Thanks, Derpy." She flew off, teetering to each side from time to time. "What have I gotten myself into..." I got up, and decided to wander about for a little while. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I sat in the usual restaurant, sipping a coffee, trying to think. "Confound my uncertainty, it drives me to insanity." "Hey, kid." "Hey, Vinyl." "So, what's eating at you?" "Well..." "Yeah?" I lowered my tone to a whisper. "I plan on proposing to Dashie." Her eyes widened, and she stared at me. "Kid, are you sure about this? I mean, that's a life conviction." "I'm sure. I love her, and she loves me. Isn't that reason enough?" Vinyl nodded her head. "Sound sincere to me. Go get her, tiger." She grinned. "Thanks. I gotta go. Seeya Vinyl." "Later, 1NS4N1TY." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I stood outside of the door, not wanting to go inside. Just facing Dashie would make me nervous. Vinyl's words rang through my head. "Go get her, tiger." I nodded my head, and swallowed. I opened the door, and walked inside. Dashie and Scoots were waiting for me. "DADDY!" Scoots threw herself at me. "Ah!" I caught her. "Not today, Scoots. But mommy and I need to talk." "OK!" She ran off somewhere in the house. "What is it you wanted to talk about, Kyle?" "Well... You see... I..." "Come on, you're usually NEVER this nervous. What is it? Did you do something?" "No... But there is something I want to do..." "Oh really now?" She smiled seductively, and took a step closer. Oh for the love of... "No, not that... Dashie... I..." I reached into my pocket, and pulled out the box. Dashie immediately knew what it was. "Kyle... You mean..." "Dashie, I want to spend the rest of my life with you... I love you, and you know that. Dashie..." I popped the question, and she couldn't hold back the tears of joy.
