Four little words. Four words were all it took to get Fluttershy’s heart beating like a drum. Individually, the words meant very different things. Those four words could be used in ordinary conversation without any weight attached to them. When strung together, they carried the weight of the world.
The words came from a pony standing in front of her. This pony started off as a friend. But as time moved forward, the two of them became closer and closer. Fluttershy shared love with this pony, and in return she received love. Four words strung together in a question, four words to show how much one loved another, and it was those four words that were presented to Fluttershy. Her eyes drifted downwards to an open box. Inside it was a diamond ring. Upon closer inspection, she could see that both her cutie mark and the pony’s cutie mark had been engraved on the ring. She looked up to a happy but expectant smile. In the pony’s eyes was a deep feeling of love. They wanted to share it with Fluttershy for as long as they lived.
“Well?” the pony asked. Fluttershy in response crouched down. She put her weight on her hind legs and her wings opened up. Before the pony could ask questions, Fluttershy tackled the pony to the ground. The box fell to the floor as the pony fell on their back. Before they could get up, Fluttershy pressed her lips to theirs. The pony’s eyes slowly drifted down. Although words were never said, they had received their answer.
