//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Magic of Love // by MysteriousStranger //------------------------------// One week later… “How do I look Spike?” “Beautiful as always, Twilight!” “Thank you! I should brush my hair now... You stay here in case Fluttershy comes; let her in if she arrives, okay?” “Don’t worry, Twilight. You can trust me!” “I know I can!” The Unicorn rushed around her home. Fluttershy could arrive at any moment now. It was almost time for their date--their first date. And sure enough, a couple of minutes later, there was a knock on the door. The baby dragon opened it and saw Fluttershy standing outside. “Oh, good evening, Spike… Is Twilight ready?” “Hey, Fluttershy, you look good! Twilight will be ready soon.” “Thank you… Can I come in…?” “Sure!” Fluttershy walked inside the library. Spike let the door open and raised his arm. “Come here, Owlowiscious,” The owl flew towards the dragon, “I’m going to walk with him now. Hope you two have fun!” Spike and Owlowiscious left, closing the door behind them. Fluttershy found herself alone, surrounded by books. One in particular caught her attention, though. It was opened, so she decided to take a look at the cover. “How to look pretty for your special somepony.” She couldn’t help but giggle when she read that. “Spike, who was at the door? Please tell me that you hid that book!” When Fluttershy heard Twilight’s voice, she quickly closed the book and put it with the others. As soon as she did so, the Unicorn appeared. Her mane was still wet. “Spike, why aren’t you…? Flutters!” She froze when she saw Fluttershy. Her heart was racing like never before; she hoped that Fluttershy hadn't seen the book. “H-Hello Twilight… You look… gorgeous…” “You think so? I mean… Thanks, you look gorgeous too.” Twilight said as she walked downstairs and approached her marefriend. She stared into Fluttershy’s cyan eyes before kissing her. Fluttershy didn’t close her eyes during the kiss, but she returned it. When they broke the kiss, Twilight saw Fluttershy's expression and giggled. “Wh-What’s so funny…?” Fluttershy said when her date giggled. “Your face! You’re so cute!” “Thanks… I guess…” “We should get going now or we'll be late.” “Yes, I’m ready!” Twilight took the basket with her magic and headed outside with Fluttershy. They headed to the hill that Fluttershy had told Twilight her feelings. They walked as slowly as they could, their tails intertwined. They looked for a good spot; which wasn't hard, seeing as how they were the only ponies around. The couple put the blanket and sat close to each other. “This will be the perfect date, Flutters!” “It already is, Twilight... We just needed to be alone. I’m already happy--truly happy.” The Pegasus nuzzled the Unicorn’s neck with her head. “I love you, Twilight… I love you so much,” She covered her with a wing and pulled her even closer, “It's been a little more than a week, and I still can’t believe that I’m with you. You’re one of a kind, Twilight... Promise me that we will always be together. You're the only pony I want to be with.” Twilight was almost crying. Not only did Fluttershy assert herself without asking first, but she also told her how deep her feelings were. The lavender mare put a hoof on the Pegasus' cheek, made her look into her eyes, and kissed her passionately. This time, Fluttershy closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. “Twilight… I…” “Don’t say anymore, Flutters. Of course we're going to be together forever--I promise you that we will. You’re special to me, Fluttershy and nothing will ever separate us. My love for you is deep and true, and my only regret is not realizing my feelings sooner.” She finished with a hug and tears in her eyes. Fluttershy returned the hug with tears of joy too. “I love you, Fluttershy!” They hugged for a long time. They forgot to watch the sunset and to eat, but it didn’t matter. They had the perfect date they'd always wanted, and it was just the beginning. They had their whole life to spend together, and after that night, all of Equestria knew about their love. They found themselves surrounded by ponies every time they left their homes, but with the help of their friends they managed to escape them. It was hard to find somewhere where they could be alone, but it was worth it. Their love stayed strong, growing every second for years to come. Nopony could take their happiness away, nopony could...or could they? Somewhere in an unknown place… “They survived? Impossible! I must go and destroy the happiest couple in Equestria... I will have my revenge, hahahahaha!”
