It's Getting Better!

Both Zee and SunnySide was right, Emmaline blossomed tremendously since the summer she and Zee got together. Her self-confidence boosted, she became more aware of worldly things and matured, she saw things in a completely different light now. She saw the good in people who she would never see the good in if it wasn’t for Zee. Now I know what you’re thinking- Happy ending? Who said it was the end?
The new founded couple went to the lake for a first year anniversary party, just the two of them. Of course it took a lot of convincing on both parts, but they managed to slide by very easily, oddly enough. The parents knew that they wouldn’t do anything too stupid.
So there they were, having fun, talking, reminiscing, planning cute things like what kind of pets they wanted when they move in together, they described scenarios to each other of what they’d do when the other got home, and things like what their reactions would be if certain events took place. They also talked about serious things though, like what they would have to do to even be able to prepare for things like moving in together. They talked about how they would help each other out, specifics actually, and no false proposals and promises of just ‘keeping up’. They kept it realistic, something that most couples can’t do. But they had fun with it, they wanted this.
It was getting late, so Emmaline helped Zee set the tent up. They put their sleeping bag for two in there, the lantern, the little trinkets they brought with them in the tent so nothing got ruined, and they settled in. Emmaline wanted to see the sun set, which is what they faced, so she got an idea…
“Hm, sweetie what are you doing?” Zee asked. “Well, how about we put the mesh net for the volley ball thing over the entrance? I want to be able to see the sunset, but without risking bugs coming in. Is that alright?” Emmaline proposed. Zee thought about it briefly and got up to help Emmaline set it up. Soon they had their very own protective shell, one where you’re able to see the beautiful scenery of a sunset on the very edge of the lake.
The two laid there in each other’s arms, looking at the view. “Wow…” Zee started. “It looks like we’re staring into the end of the world. I feel like I wanna fly towards the sun and find a giant gap, like a beta hole in Minecraft, just without the boundaries… Only one drop. Nothing else.” Emmaline giggled and said “Ha I can see that. I’d be more interested in seeing you fly towards a sunset, that would be a very cute sight!” Zee laughed and poked Emmaline on the nose. “You silly filly, you know that I wouldn’t fly towards it without you. Third person view of that, now THAT would be a nice sight!” Emmaline made a sound which sounded like a quick amused sigh. They sat in silence, as the sun sunk below the skyline, leaving darkness in its absence. All they could see was the moonlight come around and reflect on the shore of the lake. They heard the birds settle down into nests, singing their final song before they fell into a slumber. The soft breaking of the water lulled Emmaline to sleep very quickly.
Zee sighed, having yet another very enjoyable day with the mare of his dreams. He looked down at that very pony, and smiled greatly. He felt as if he was looking at a certain part of himself, one that he couldn’t see before. He saw himself in Emmaline, not just because they were so much alike, but rather more because she completed him. She filled that hole that he had felt his whole life. He never knew what that hole should contain, never knowing why he wasn’t completely happy, until he met Emmaline. Now, he can see that the reason why he wasn’t completely happy is because he didn’t have Emmaline with him, to share his memories. He didn’t have the ability to make some other pony happy. Now he does. And he’s perfectly fine with that.
He looked forward, into the sunset as he settled into the cuddling position with the fast asleep Emmaline. Zee started to slowly loose his sight, as his eyes closed more and more. The last thing he remembers doing, is turning his head to kiss Emmaline’s forehead as his own head drooped down onto the pillow.
