Tear of a flower

Chapter Twelve: Love

Things happen in life, some are predictable, some are just random pop ups that you will have to deal with as best as you can.
But if two or more things like this happen, the result depends only on you. Be prepared.

-Chapter Twelve-
.:Love:.

As we walked back to Dawnie's home I fall in my thoughts as usual. Bringing the gang in the middle of the frozen forest was a good joke and they honestly deserved it, but I felt a slight remorse.

"You know... This thing with the ropes and stuff was fun but..." I said to Dawnie who were smiling and beaming in happiness. The white snow made her bright colors even shinier.

"You mean we shouldn't leave them in the forest?" She asked and cutely tilted her head.

"Yeah... Ah, they came to our place, they..." I just realized what I said. 'Our' place. Dawnie noticed it too.

"Did you said our?" She asked and her smile turned into a grin.

"Y-yes..." My mind spinned up and made up almost all possible outcomes.

'Well... This is not that bad...'


Soon we reached her friendly little home.
The damages caused by the gang was completely repaired thanks to Dawnie - I have no idea how could she do such a thing like she did, I thought it had something with time reversing.. Well, magic, whatever.

When we got inside and I closed the front door, she stopped in front of me (yes, I let her in first, I'm a gentleman) and slowly turned around. She had a weird expression on her face.

"Dawnie you scare me!" I said and truly, she looked like a maniac.

"Heh-heh-heh..." She took a step to me.

Her horn lighted up in the familiar magical aura and I felt my right hand grabbed by it. I knew what will happen.

'The resistance is futile...'

She led me into her bedroom. It wasn't too different from mine, the things I should mention was a picture of (probably) her parents on her night-stand, it was two unicorns, smiling, holding the little Dawnie in their hooves. The other mentionable thing was a gigantic bookshelf which occupied an entire WALL.
After this quick looking around she magically yanked me to the bed - she got on it while I checked my surroundings.

"Marty. I think you know what to do." She warmly smiled at me and gave me the 'bedroom eyes'. (You know what is that!)

After a few quick blink I answered. "Yes. I know. And you know what? I'll enjoy it!"


Hours passed after it.

Dawnie was in an embrace with me, sleeping peacefully. If I could, I would smoke a cigar, smiling satisfied.
Well, what do you expect for a first timer?
I looked down at her.

'So beautiful... So innocent.. Hmm, well, no longer innocent but still beautiful.'

Leaning closer I kissed her forehead then took a more comfortable position and began to sleep.

When I woke up in the next morning, I felt like my life was complete.
A place where no one can beat me (heheh), a nice home and someone to love... What else could I wish for?
I let out a big, satisfied sigh.

"Mmmmmhh?..." Dawnie shifted her position and looked up in my eyes. By the looks she had been awake for a while.

"Good morning sunshine!" I kissed her on her nose, almost mockingly.

"Morning!" She rubbed her nose and gave me a beaming smile. "Do you want some breakfast or should we stay here for a bit more?"

"Well.. You took a lot of energy out of me so I say that we should make an agreement between the two: staying in the bed for twenty more minutes, then breakfast!" Sometimes I can make a good idea like this.

"Sounds good!" She began to cuddle me which I responded.


After around twenty minutes I began to slowly get out of the bed, stretching. When I heard my bones making satisfying popping sounds, I smiled and looked back at Dawnie. She just hopped down from the bed, and was on her way next to me.

"I could eat cow... Do you have cows here in Equestria?" I looked down at her, finding her making a 'seriously?' face. "Alright-alright it was just a joke... Dawnie?.." I spotted something on her.

"Yes? What is it?" She asked, rising her right eyebrow. I slowly moved my right arm, pointing to her flank. "What is.. It..."

There was a heart like symbol on her flank, a cutie-mark. It was a small purple heart in the middle of a lighter and bigger purple one. When Dawnie realized what just appeared on her, she began to scream and jumping around like a little kid would.

"I got it I got it I got it!!!" She screamed and jumped on me. Because I wasn't prepared for the sudden tackle-hug, she sent me down on the ground. "Marty! I got it!" She squealed like a little girl and hugged me almost painfully.

"Yeah.. You got it.. I need air.." She stopped for a second then loosened her death-grip like hug. She looked in my eyes. I swear I saw sparkles in them, she was happier than ever.

"Marty.."

"Yes?"

"Thank you." She kissed me on the lips, passionately.


I just sat in the kitchen, munching on an unearthly delicious apple, thinking about the things that just happened.

'Well, this world is way better than anything I could wish for... Still I will miss the internet. And TF2. I worked so hard for those hats.'

Dawnie walked into the kitchen, smiling and humming a nice tune.
"What is this song?" I asked, interested in the catchy tune.

"Oh, nothing, me and my parents used to sing this in the end of the winter, when we got rid of the snow and other things."

"Interesting. So, what we are gonna do now? I have a few ideas to-" A knocking could be heard from the front door. "Do.. Who can be it?" I was surprised; Dawnie lived alone with little to no visitor.

"I don't know... Come, let's see." She turned around and walked to the door and stopped at it, waiting for me.

"Right." I stood up and followed her.

The few seconds of walking to the frontdoor later, the unknown visitor repeated the knocking.

"I'm coming!" Dawnie said, happily.

She magically opened the door and revealed somepony, somepony very unexpected.
