Leafstorm sat in silence as she looked at the sky, her window was wide open as she stared at the stars in the sky, the constellations in the night sky was the only thing left from her old life that she'd had for the last few years, She sat there in silence doing the same thing she did every year on this date, stare up at the sky and trying her best to pick out a single constellation, As she looked old memories went through her head.
"Your joking," Spike cried out with a laugh as he made his way through the snow, sitting on his back where Shining Armor and Night light, Shining's was hiding his face in his hoofs as Night light laughed along with Spike.
"I'm being serious," He said as he patted Spike's back "Shining asked his mother how to prose and she told him to ask me, so he proposed to me!"
"I was drunk," Shining said into his hoofs "I also Proposed to the dining room wall, and the bathroom sink," him saying this did nothing to quell Spike and Night light's howls of laughter.
"oh, boy's," Night light said once he managed to stop laughing "we should really get together someday when it isn't a holiday," Night light coughed into his hoofs before adding "Your old man ain't gonna be around forever now, what say we get together in a few weeks and go fishing for old time sake?" Spike and Shining looked at each other in silence before replying
"Sounds like a plan,"
"Can I bring Flurry?" Shining asked "I'm so she'd love to spend some time with her Granpa,"
"Sure," Night light replied happily, the three moved on in silence through the snow before Night light spoke up about the looks his sons were giving him "The Results came back negative, I don't have cancer,"
"Oh my sweet Celestia," Shining said as he grabbed his chest "You nearly gave me a heart attack old man, next time lead with that and not a line about how you gonna die someday!"
"I'm sorry," Night light chuckled "I forgot, me and your mom only just got the results back yesterday," he sighed "Altho it did scare some life back into these lazy bones of mine for a while, I went mountain climbing, always wanted to do it but kept putting it off, the idea of dying put some vigor back into me that's for dam sure," he sighed as he looked up at the late-night sky "Remember when Spike was just a little tot, back before he could come with Twilight to her lessons with Celestia, he'd refuse to come inside until she came home so we'd spend hours waiting outside for her,"
"Oh yeah," Spike said with a laugh "I was afraid she'd get lost, I thought all the buildings looked the same and figured there was no way she'd ever find her way back alone,"
"Cadance thought that was just the cutest thing," Shining said with a smile, "Come to think of it, so did I,"
"We spent hours out there, the whole family waiting for our little Twi-Twi to come home, Hey Spike, can you still find your 'constellation'?" Night lights question earned a laugh from both Shining and Spike.
"Oh no," Spike said with a laugh "I forgot about that,," Spike looked up at the stars as he slowed his walking pace.
"There," Shining said, lighting his horn and used his magic to connect the stars to make a picture of a gem "Spike's consultation, an Emerald"
"No," Spike cried out in mock horror "Get it away," he chuckled with a head shake "It's just a rectangle, gosh I was stupid,"
"Least you didn't propose to your own dad," Shining said, making Night Light laugh.
"I will never in my life live to see something funnier that," after a second he started coughing again "Alright Spike, mind moving a little quicker, it's almost midnight and you know how your mother gets if were late for hearth's warming eve,"
Leaf storm sighed at the memory as she found the spot and lit her horn, drawing a rectangle in the night sky, just as her clock ticked to twelve. She sat there in silence as she looked at the rectangle and slowly started crying.
"Thanks for lying to us dad, we wouldn't have been able to celebrate with you properly if you'd told us it was the last hearth's warming eve we were getting with you, but don't worry, me and Shining still took Flurry on that Fishing trip, we took her to your favorite spot every year," Leaf storm sat staring at the rectangle she had drawn in the sky, thinking of the last night she'd spent with Night light and of the fishing trip they'd never gotten to go on.
