She smiled and said, “Well you did better this time.” “You’re just saying that.” I responded while getting up. “Wanna try again?” “I think I’m good for today.” “Hi!” Pinkie Pie said randomly popping up from behind a punching bag. “What’ya doing?” We look at her confused at how she suddenly appeared in here, but hey it’s Pinkie Pie. Then I responded with, “You see after Drez beat the living crap out of me after my magic ran dry, I decided to take up some lessons in hoof–to-hoof combat just in case something like that happens again. Yeah I know I held my own ageist Ganger and When fighting Drez a few seconds earlier my own sword went though my leg, but I still want to improve on that.” “Oh some Dashie’s teaching you some cool karate moves?” “Well she’s trying to. To put it simply I suck.” Rainbow nuzzled up to me and said, “Oh come on you’re not that bad.” She turned to Pinkie and asked, “So was that all you came here for?” Pinkie smile and said, “Nope. I came here to ask Sethy about the party.” “What party?” I ask. “For you birthday party silly. I mean today’s September 10th and if it’s September 10th that means it’s only one week until the 17th. And If it’s the 17th it’ll be your first birthday *giggle*. Don’t worry we’re not going to treat you like a one year old, unless you want us to, but I doubt that. Anyways I wanted to ask what do you want me to do for it? What type of cake do you want? What food should there be? What would you like for a gift?” “Well for food I’m sure whatever you make will be great. As for a gift, oh I don’t know maybe a deck of Science cards maybe?” Rainbow snorts, “You are such a nerd, you know that?” “Oh come on now you’ve tried it before.” “Yeah and I beat you twice without having a bucking clue of what I was doing half of the time.” “That was just because I was using decks I wasn’t used to.” “Sure it was.” ______________________________________________________________________________ So exactly one week later Rainbow and I walked to Sugarcube Corner. When we opened the door the room was completely dark. I rolled my eye and said, “Oh on you guys I already know about this party so you can’t really..” The lights flicked on revealing five mares and a baby dragon, who all shouted “Surprise!” The next thing I knew I was thrown up into the air repeatedly while Pinkie sang. “Happy, Happy Birthday Sethy, Sethy. You Are One Year Older Yeppy, Yeppy. I Had Some Trouble With This Line Sorry, Sorry. I Hope That Doesn’t Ruin The Paarrrtttttty.” After she was done I was set back down on the ground. “Okay, uhhh... thanks everypony. I wasn’t expecting that.” I say followed with a small laugh. Pinkie bounce up to me with a huge grin and said, “ So Sethy I worked really hard to make sure that this was you best birthday ever. Oh, wait it’s your first one so I already accomplished that. Anyways we have chips, soda, cookies, two pizzas for everypony, one cheese the other pepper and onion, there’s a cake for later and Applejack brought some cider. Both regular and the other a special kind of cider that’s her gift for you and... Oops I said too much. Sorry Applejack.” “It’s fine sugarcube.” Applejack said. “I’ll just bring it out now since I’m sure all y’all would like some.” She when into a back room and come back rolling a small barrel of cider that had a picture of a muti-colored apple on it. “Seth may I introduce you to Granny Smith’s Good Ol’ Fashioned Zap Apple Cider. This stuff here is so strong half a cup made Big Macintosh pass out.” I raise an eyebrow. “Is that suppose to intimidate me, because I’ve had drinks with Big Mac before and he’s a total lightweight.” Applejack burst into laughter at her brother’s expense. ______________________________________________________________________________ So the party was really fun. Great food, amazing friends, that Zap Apple cider was heavenly. Plus I receive some very nice gifts. Pinkie and Fluttershy both got me some Science cards. As you would expect Fluttershy tried to apologize to Pinkie about that. Rarity made this really good looking white and red hooded robe. I noticed that those are the colors she tends to choose when she makes clothes for me, but hey Rainbow says they look good on me so I’m not complaining at all. Now the gift from Twilight and Spike I really liked. The Magical Theory by: Starswirled the Bearded. One of the rarest and most advanced spell books ever written. I asked her on how the hay she got her hooves on this, not surprising the answer was Princess Celestia. That made this an even bigger honor because the reason why these are so rare is that they are only given to ponies that Celestia trust completely. Finally Rainbow gift was a hoofcrafted silver pocket watch, one the inside was an engraving that said, To the Pony Who Made My Life Brighter and My Heart Soar. - Love, Rainbow Dash After I read that, I turned to Rainbow with joyful tears in my eyes as I leaned forward to give her a nice big thank you kiss. ______________________________________________________________________________ I looked over my gifts and then my friends and I just smiled and said, “Thank you everypony. This has meant a lot me.” I then turn to stare out a window for what I guess was a little too long because Rainbow commented on it. “I know that look you’re thinking about something.” “Yeah, I’m just reflecting on this past year. All that has happened in a short time. Also how lucky I am to be here, as well as how lucky to have friends as great as you guys. You... You all mean so much to me... Oh did I just make it weird? Sorry. I’m sure that’s the cider talking.” They all smiled as Rainbow messed up my mane a bit and said, “It’s fine you sap ball.” She then wrapped her arms around me and asked, “Are you lucky to have me, because I think I’m luck to have you.” “Of coarse I am. I think that’s what I’m luckiest to have. You are one amazing mare to be able to put up with somepony like me.” There where chuckles all around. “I’m serious. Rainbow I love you with my heart and soul. You are my whole entire world and I can’t even begin or would I want to imagine my life without you.” Now what I said next could be considered a brash decision, but I have no regrets. I unwrapped Rainbow’s arms from around me, pressed our hooves together, stared into those lovely rose colored eyes and continued. “Rainbow I know we talked about this before and made an agreement upon it, but I don’t care. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Rainbow Dash, will you marry me?” Everypony had a look of surprise on there face, but Rainbow’s slowly turned into a smile as tears rolled down her cheeks. She did one of her tackle hugs that I’m so used to by now and gave me a kiss that I don’t even know how long it lasted. When our lips parted she gave her answer that by now was obvious, but I was still happy to hear it. “Yes.”
