As the kiss took place there was close to one hundred things going through Sunset’s mind. “What? He’s kissing back? I must be dreaming again... No, I’m not. Does he like me?” Sunset thought. She had no clue why he was but she was not going to complain, no she was going to enjoy every second of it. Sunset decided to try how far her luck was going to go, so during their kiss she prodded his lips with her tongue. To her utter shock, he opened his mouth. “Holy mother of Celestia!” Was the most dominant thought at that moment. But this thought did not stop her from continuing. Their kiss deepened and Sunset had moved on hoof to the back of his neck. It lasted for, to them, seemed like hours. Eventually they did need to come up for air. Well unless they wanted to die kissing. To Sunset that seemed like the best way to go. When they separated they just stared into each other’s eyes in silence. Eventually Sunset broke the silence that was hanging over them with the obvious question.
“Spike, why did you?” Sunset asked in a hushed tone.
“Well...I kinda like you.” Spike said nervously, developing a crimson blush.
“But, what about Rarity? I thought you liked her?” Sunset questioned.
“Well, ever since I moved to Ponyville I did. But as time went on and she never seemed to return the feelings, mine started to go. When you came here, you seemed to really like being around me. You were really nice to me. I guess I got the feelings I had lost from Rarity for you.” Spike answered.
To Sunset this made pretty good sense except one thing.
“Well, what about what happened at the party?” Sunset asked.
“Yeah, heh heh.” Spike chuckled nervously.
“Well, I still liked her enough to where it still hurt. Also it made me realize how much time I wasted on getting her to like me. I also realized that she may have been using my feelings for her benefit but I’m not sure on that one.” Spike answered.
“Oh...” was all Sunset could reply with.
“Yeah.” Spike said back.
The two sat in silence for a short while, not knowing what to say. The two both lost in their own thoughts. Sunset was, once again, the one to break the silence.
“So, Spike?” Sunset started.
“Yeah Sunset?” Spike said looking into her eyes.
“Would you like to be my special somepony, or somedragon?” Sunset asked nervously.
“Only if you get to my special somepony.” Spike said in a joking tone.
“Deal.” Sunset replied.
After the deal was done, Sunset began to lean in and close her eyes. Spike happily obliged. The two sat there, just kissing for quite some time. They would have gone longer if a certain purple alicorn hadn’t walked in. The two didn’t notice Twilight until she had made a coughing noise to gain their attention. The two separated and blushed heavily as they looked to Twilight.
“Oh, I am so happy for you two!” Twilight said and began to hug the two.
“Uh... thanks Twi.” Spike said.
Sunset was still a little too flustered at being caught in the middle of making out with Spike. That’s not to say that she regretted it, no she was happy it happened. But then she remembered something very important.
“Hey Twilight, not to ruin the moment or anything but… how did Celestia react when I yelled at her?” Sunset asked sheepishly.
The hug was disengaged and Spike went to stand beside Sunset.
“Oh well, she wasn’t happy.” Twilight replied.
“Wait, you yelled at Princess Celestia?” Spike asked.
“Yeah well, when you ran off she wanted me to stay. I was already mad so I yelled at her and went after you.”
Spike blushed when he remembered at how foalish he was. But he also rationalized it brought him and Sunset together so if he had to do it again, he would.
“So, how unhappy… are we talking?” Sunset asked nervously.
“I had to talk her out of either banishing you to the moon or to the human world. Don’t worry, after I told her why you did what you did she calmed down and was okay with it. But she does want to finish your questions.” Twilight answered.
“Well at least everything turned out as good as possible. Oh wait, how’s Rarity? I really told her off.” Sunset said.
“Oh well, she kinda stood shocked for a good five minutes. She’s better now, but you should apologize.” Twilight replied.
“What did you say to Rarity?” Spike inquired.
“Oh, just a few choice words that befit her at the moment. I do kinda feel bad about it... kinda.” Sunset answered.
“Well, let’s all get going back to the party.” Twilight said.
The couple nodded in agreement. Spike climbed onto Sunset’s back. Once he was on he wrapped his arms around her neck like a hug. This made Sunset feel warm on the inside. The walk back was spent telling Twilight what had happened when they were alone, except for a few details. Twilight seemed happy that the two of them were together. “You know it’s weird, I have been here like two or three days and yet it has been the best time of my life. I even have my own special somepony… or somedragon. I am going to be a lot better to him than I was to Flash.” All in all, Sunset was happy, very happy. They soon arrived at the party for the second time. When they entered the building they were greeted by everypony. Then Sunset saw Rarity, she walked up to with Spike still on her back.
“Hey Rarity.” Sunset said sheepishly.
“Hello Sunset.” Rarity said, her voice void of emotion.
“I just wanted to say I’m sorry. I got mad and over-reacted.” Sunset said.
“It’s quite alright dear, I forgive you, and from the looks of it you have yourself a special somedragon.” Rarity said grinning.
Sunset blushed at the comment as did Spike, but neither made a move to get away from each other.
“It is good to see you return Sunset Shimmer.” Said Celestia walking up to the couple.
“And I am glad to see you’re feeling better Spike.” Celestia added.
“Thanks.” Spike said
“Sorry for yelling at you Princess.” Sunset apologized.
“It is alright, I understand why you did it. But if we could get back to my questions.” Celestia replied.
“Of course. Spike why don’t you go have fun, I’ll be back in a little while.” Sunset said.
“Okay.” Spike said, giving her a kiss on the cheek and then running off to have fun.
“I see you two are together.” Celestia said with a smirk.
“Yeah.” Sunset said in a dream like tone.
“Well, follow me and we can continue.” Celestia said
The rest of the night went wonderfully. After the questions Sunset and Spike spent the party together. The couple was having a bunch of fun when a certain DJ spoke up.
“Alright Ponyville, it’s time to slooow things down for you couples out there.” Spoke the DJ pony.
After she said so, the music turned to a slower pace for couples to dance to. Spike and Sunset wasted no time to get together to dance. They were really enjoying the intimacy of the moment. They got lost in each other’s embrace as they danced the night away. They even had a few kisses here and there. But all good things must come to an end. The party eventually ended and the trio of Twilight, Spike and Sunset headed home. They talked on the way back saying how they really enjoyed the party. When they got home they all went to their own beds, except Spike. He was now going to be sleeping in Sunset’s bed with her. Sunset very much liked the idea. The two climbed onto their bed. They said their goodnights and fell asleep in each other’s embrace.
