``Let’s the masquerade begins!`` Instantly everypony in the room put their own mask. Me and Fluttershy had both a mask of a white dove, Rarity had made it and through it’s was fitting masks since they represent peace and love.
The mask of Twilight and Brew were a little ironic. Twilight had a tribal mask of Zebrica and Brew had a mask of an Alicorn, but the left side was white with the symbol of a sun and the right side was midnight blue with a crescent moon. Luna her, had the mask of a bat, not a big surprise there.
As the part began Sonata, Octavia and a group of other musicians, began to play some background music for the festivities. Everypony began to talk to one another meeting and greeting each other.
A familiar dark princess approach us with a joyous smile ``Dream, Fluttershy we are so happy thou could come to our masquerade!``
``O-oh hello princess.`` Replied my fillyfriend replied with a shy smile.
``No offence princess but I just want to know, why did you invited me and Twi and not the other girls?`` I ask.
``Well our sister told us how the last gala they attend, was ruined`` Shy let a ‘eep’ and hide behind her mane embarrassed. ``And we don’t want our first Winter Moon Masquerade to be ruined.``
``But why invite me and Twilight? I assume you knew I would invite Shy so that make two of the ponies who was there at the gala`` Surprisingly she smile.
``Thou assume right but Twilight know how to act in high society and there no wild animal in our festivities.`` She smirk at the last part making Shy shrink further. ``But our main reason to invite thou invite is to thank thou and Brew for saving our niece.``
``But you invite Twilight and not Brew`` I point out.
``We knew she would invite Brew and our sister would have scold us to not invite her precious student.`` She roll her eyes, she then whispered in my ears. ``By the way the dance will began in one hour.`` I was now a little nervous the dance is when I would propose to Fluttershy. ``And don’t worry we are sure thy fillyfriend love thou and our sister is not a tyrant, well not at this point at least `` She said a little with mirth before open her wing and taking off.
I gawk at her she was really there last night! But I through… ``What did she mean by that Dream?`` I shook my head before looking in the confused eyes of my fillyfriend.
``It’s nothing Shy don’t worry about it`` I replied with a nervous smile, We pass the next thirty minutes losing our time around the various food and drinks, we didn’t really want to meet strangers. Suddenly most of the lights turn off a spot light turn to Luna who was on stage.
``Hello dear subjects! Soon we will celebrate Heart warming, so we prepare a song for tonight.`` All the ponies cheer at her the musicians began to play a song. Luna close her eyes and began to sing. She had a absolutely beautiful and majestic voice.

``What land is this, of ponyborn.
Love fills them now and is sacred?
Created now, but long ago three Clans, divided by hatred.
Arrangements made, but now undone.
For ponykins, it had just begun.
Bless this land Equestria!
Joined together in harmony.
Their hearts were full of cold and hate.
The snow came and changed their fate.
The food was scarce, the crops lay dead.
A meeting was called by each clan head.
The ponies came from far and near.
The strife to end, each yearned to hear.
Bless this land Equestria!
Joined together in harmony.
The castle cold, the wind blew strong.
The leaders argued for hours long.
The snow rose still, the storm grew worse.
They had no idea, they were the curse.
Parting ways, no bargain met.
Returning home, the ponies wept.
Bless this land Equestria!
Joined together in harmony.
The leaders knew they had to change.
Their land was frozen, the storm still strange.
Venturing on, to their surprise.
New land lay before their searching eyes.
The soil was rich, the air was pure.
New land for them, they all were sure!
Bless this land Equestria!
Joined togheter in harmony.
Once again they had their feud.
And very soon a new storm blew.
Crusading their claims, the leaders fought.
When wendigos came t'was all for naught.
Their cold hatred filled the cave.
Encassed in ice, the leaders became!
Bless this land Equestria!
Joined together in harmony.
The advisors talked and very soon.
Love and friendship filled the room.
It melted the snow, while they sang their songs.
The leaders knew now they'd been so wrong.
Now a land, with friendship true.
Equestria was formed anew!
To care to love all pony kind.
Living together in harmony.``
The song came to a end, Luna open her eyes. Not a single sound could be heard in the audience not even a cough. All there was, was ponies with their mouth dropped. She was beginning to be nervous, didn’t they like the song? Did the lyrics offend them? Her questions was answered by a explosion of cheer, stomp of hooves, whistles and cheering.
Luna had a smile ear to ear, finally they love her they forgive her for what she done and now they are supporting her for her talents. ``Thank you our dear subjects, now the dance can begin!`` With that the lights turn on once again and the group of musicians began to play a romantic song.
I look at Fluttershy. ``Can a poor mortal like me have a dance with this beautiful angel?`` Wow I didn’t realise it untie now but I becamed cheesy as fuck, that what must happen when you are living in a world of magical ponies for seven months. But she smile anyway with blush and a squeak she nod giving me her hoof.
We trot at the dance floor I could see Brew and Twilight already dancing, the hooves of Brew was a little too close of Twilight flank and Twilight gave her a little jab in the ribs and the zebra smile sheepishly.
I awkwardly put my two forehooves on Fluttershy and we began, or in my case tried to, dance. I just hope I will not make a fool of myself, not tonight. In the corner of my eyes I saw Luna giving me a wink, she was dancing with a destral of the night guards.
Me and Shy were dancing, but at least she was as nervous as me. I could tell even with her mask. Her big pregnant belly made the dance a little awkward at first but we quickly got over it. As the dance finish I gave her a kiss on her lips she was a little surprise of the sudden contact but return it eagerly. When I broke the kiss I saw that almost half of the eyes were on us.
I was confused by this but then I remark that a spotlight was direct at us. I saw Luna smirking at me. I gave her a glare and she smile innocently at me, she had plane this didn’t she? Well now I’m even more nervous to do this than before, damn you Luna!
I carefully took the jewellery box I had hidden inside of my wing. Shy was a little confused byt what was happening, But Twilight and Brew had their mouth agape and their eyes widen they probably had guess what was happening.
I open the little box and I hope I didn’t do it wrong I don’t know too much about ponies customs about proposals. I open the box and she gasp, inside was a gold necklace with one feather of my wing. ``Fluttershy I know I probably don’t deserve you, but do you want to make me the most lucky stallion in this world and marry me?`` The eyes of everypony was now on us they all held their breaths awaiting the response of the beautiful mare.
Tears ran down her cheeks. ``Yes! All of my yes!`` She put me in a death grip and kiss me passionately she would probably made me fell on the ground, if she wasn’t gripping me that hard. Everypony cheers at the scene and congratulate us. It’s was good to be the Dreamer.
