Blue-Blood fiddled with his tie. Was it on right? Was the picnic blanket clean? Was the food good? Would Celestia approve of his idea? How he had wanted her advice after all she was CELESTIA! She had been alive for thousands of years. Surely she knew about romance. But she had told him he had to figure this out on his own. She wouldn't give him one single idea about how to woo that mare. How he wished she would have. Then he would know it was perfect. He peeked in the box to make sure it was still there. Yes the dress was in there. What little Celestia told him of Rarity she did love fashion. Sop with Celestia's permission he had the princesses dress maker make Rarity a beautiful dress. It was made of GOLD turned into a fabric form with a silver trim and star shaped fire rubies with heart shaped baby blue saphires in the center. It had been formed with Celestia's sun magic so that the gems always shined and a glow flowed from the dress. Luna had given a little contribution so that at night it had stars reflecting off the fabric. She had to like this.
Rarity stepped forward. In the moonlight the outline of a picnic blanket was on the ground. As she moved over she could tell it was SILVER lace! She gasped in delight. Ohh the tecniches used to make this. And the food it ranged from apple pie to orderves. There was one rose in a glass jar in the center of the blanket and two lovly velvet couches side by side staring out at the most beautiful part of the sky where the stars simply seemed to be dancing.
"It's so beatiful!" she gasped tears of joy streaming down her face. She heard a few hoof steps and from the shadows a figure stepped out. She couldn't see the detials of his face though.
"I'm glad that you like it Rarity my dear lady." Blue-Blood spoke trying to sound romantic. As Rarity turned he lit the candles ablaze with his horn. Before she could speak he put a hoof to her mouth and spoke up agian before the courage he had mustard up failed him. "Rarity I'm so so sorry for my behavoir in Canterlot it was absolutly dreadful of me and I put you through so much. And then I drove myself crazy trying to find the same special feeling I felt from you in other mares but it wasn't there. It wasn't there becuase I knew deep down my actions where inexcusable and that deep down I liked you more than I ever let on. And I have learned that when one treats themselves as if they are better than others they can't enjoy life and any friends they have aren't real. Miss Rarity Mam I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to see me agian but if you would be willing to give me one more shot as your coltfriend I would be so grateful." With this he put his hoof down and waited nervously for her answer.
"Of course I will give you another shot dear." Rarity replied and at once wanted to hit herself. Why did I do that he was such a jerk last time. But before she could change her mind Blue-Blood smiled like a young foal and danced happily before returning to his princely posture.
"Rarity I have a gift for you." He levitated the box and as she opened it she squeled in delight. It was her turn to dance like a foal."It was hoofcrafted by the princesses dress maker and the princess put magic in it. It is made from gold and silver turned into fabric.
"It's lovely!" she squeled.
How happy it made him to see her so happy. She had tried on the dress right away and it literally took his breath away. She was gorgeus. She was prettier than a princess. Oh how beautiful she was. There were no words to describe her. The dress outlined her figure perfectly and stars seemed to sparkle in her eyes as she walked with grace and beauty. The candlelight glowed softly on her face and he stumbled back in amazment.
"Is anything wrong dear?" she asked
"No you just look so beautiful." His eyes grew wide and he sucked in air as he relized what he just said. She luaghed and smiled and he beconed her towards a couch adorned with golden silk throw pillows. As she settled in to one he luonged comfterbly in the other happy thoughts dancing through his mind as they rested and feasted on orderves, apple pie, cupcakes and all other sorts of treats.
This was the best night ever.
Rarity sighed contentedly joy filling her as she smiled staring off into the stars. They where so beautiful but she was sooo tired. She could stay up a while longer though. But soon dreams of a changed prince flitted around her mind.
Blue-Blood smiled at the peaceful figure sleeping soundly. He didn't want to wake her but it would be best for her ot wake up in her own bed. He lifted her onto his back and started for ponyville. Boy did he need to work out more he reflected. Never mind he was to happy to worry. As soon as he reached the botique he opened the door trotted upstairs and tucked her in. But he didn't leave just yet. He pecked her on the cheek and left a rose on the bedside table before going to the apertment Celestia had arranged for him to stay at and curling up to go to sleep.
