As Twilight walked down to the ballroom with Midnight, she was overjoyed that he was alive. When she thought he was dead, Twilight felt like her soul had been ripped in half.
"Is that what love feels like?" she thought.
Midnight snapped Twilight out of her thinking by asking, "Twilight, does the Princess know what I am?"
"Oh, yes. She came to me as soon as I awoke and asked. I told her only what I know about what you are, and that's not much."
Twilight had been thinking about this question for a couple days so she thought she should ask, "Midnight, when I came into the caverns I noticed that you seemed angry. Was that just from the situation or something else?"
He hesitated before answering, almost as if he was choosing what to say, "Darkness, it offered me a deal. It said that if I worked for it, I could have anything. A cure, power, you."
Twilight was a little insulted that that thing would use her a some sort of bargaining chip, yet she was sort of glad that she was important enough to Midnight that she would be used as one. Then Midnight continued, "I refused. Mainly because Darkness is responsible for so many deaths, but also because I want to be with you if you share the feelings and not from some sort of spell. Though when I made the decision I wasn't sure that would come true."
"Now why would you think that?"
"Well, you're a princess and I am the son of the Changeling that tried to take over Canterlot."
"Well I might go out with you if you tried not to go on suicide missions."
This made Midnight blush dark red, "Really."
"Of cour-" Twilight felt a sharp pain on the side of her head as she ran into the door to the ballroom, "I guess we're here."
As Twilight grabbed the door with magic, Midnight asked, "Does the princess know what I am?"
"Uh, yes," she replied, "Celestia came in when I woke up and I told her what I know. But she understands that what
happened then was not related to who you are."
Midnight let out a sigh of relief, "Now I just have one pony who wants to kill me."
As he was about to open the door it slammed open and Pinkie came out, "Oh, there you are Twilight. Where's
Midnight at?"
The door creaped shut and Midnight fell to the floor, "Here."
"That explains the Pinkie sense. Well come on, there's a party going on."
Twilight and Midnight entered behind a bouncing Pinkie. All there was in the room was a punch fountain and some
buffet tables.
"I don't understand Pinkie," Twilight said. Then she saw Midnight looking up at the ceiling, "What are you looking at?"
Twilight looked up and saw a couple dozen ponies socializing on the ceiling, "How in Equestria...?" Then Twilight saw a very familiar statue, "Pinkie, you didn't."
"Why hello Miss. Sparkle." Discord appeared in front of Twilight, "Did you miss me?"
"Hello Discord. Are Shining Armor and Cadence up there?"
"Yes. Though I want to speak with your friend in private. It is of the upmost importance."
Midnight gave Twilight a questioning look and she said, "All I really have to say about Discord is to talk to Fluttershy if he gives you trouble."
"Okay then," Midnight said nervously before leaving the room with Discord.
Twilight looked up at the ceiling and thought, "How is anypony supposed to get up there?"
She put one of her hooves on the wall closest to her and fell onto the wall. "I guess that's how."
Twilight walked up the wall, hoping that Discord's power would last, and soon made it to the rounded ceiling. When she got there, she found Cadence.
"Hi Twilight," Cadence said happily, "Are you and Midnight alright?"
"I'm fine and I think Midnight will be too, so long as he doesn't get on Shining Armor's bad side," Twilight replied and both mares let out a small laugh. Twilight looked at Cadence's dress. It was a simple green dress with a diamond set
in the chest. "The dress is beautiful."
"Thank Rarity for that. It's also changes color with my mood. The green color means I'm happy. So, I'm going to get
some punch and then I'm going to anounce you-know-what."
"Okay, I'm going to go and talk to Shining Armor."
"He's over near the center talking with some of his guard buddies."
"Thanks."
Twilight and and Cadence went their separate ways. As Twilight neared her brother, she remembered that she didn't bring her painting with her on the balloon.
"Hey Twily!" Shining Armor yelled when he saw his sister.
Twilight ran up and hugged her brother, "Hey Shining Armor. Um, I had a present for you and-"
"Spike sent us a letter and Derpy went back to fetch it," Shining Armor interrupted, "It was beautiful."
"Thank you! Um, one thing. Why did you let Discord help?"
"It was Pinkie's idea. We just had to tell them no chocolate rain."
Twilight laughed at the memory of Pinkie drinking so much that her cheeks sagged.
"Okay," Cadence walked up to the siblings, "I'm back."
"Is it time to announce it," Shining Armor asked.
Cadence nodded, "Attention everypony! I have an announcement!" everypony went silent, "I am having a foal!"
Shining Arnor and Cadence were swarmed by ponies who wanted to wish congradulations upon the couple. Twilight walked to the edge of the crowd where she saw Midnight running towards her.
"Twilight," he panted, "We. Have. A. MAJOR. Problem"
