“Please Rarity! Oh pretty please!” Fluttershy pleaded with her marefriend as she held a book in her fore hooves.

“Darling, why are you so adamant about reading this fairytale?” Rarity questioned as she took the book in her magical grasp.

“It’s just that, as a foal I read it all the time,” Fluttershy swallowed, “and I really enjoyed it.”

“Very well then, follow me to the den and we’ll get started.” Rarity stated, turning around as she began to trot away.

“Ok, but let me get something real quick.” Fluttershy zoomed off into the kitchen.

As Fluttershy flew off to retrieve whatever it was she wanted, Rarity trotted into the den and started to arrange pillows for her and her marefriend to sit on. As soon as the pillows were where she wanted Rarity sat patiently in the den awaiting Fluttershy’s return.

A few minutes later, Fluttershy returned with a tray of milk and cookies in her mouth, her left wing slightly astray.

Fluttershy laid the tray on the table between them. “Sorry for taking so long,” she muttered as she took a seat on her pillow.

“It’s fine dear. Let’s get started, shall we?” Rarity replied as she opened the book.

Rarity started to read as Fluttershy sipped on her milk. Fluttershy knows this story like the back of her hoof, she must have read it a thousand times already. However, as many times as she has read this story, she always learns something that she did not know before. The tale may have been a simple tale of a knight in shining armor, rescuing a princess from an evil dragon, but she love the story anyway.

Every few years, she would read this book to see how her perception has changed. This is the first time she has read this book since her and Rarity started dating. Now she sees Rarity as her princess and herself as a knight, as brave as she could be. Her daydreams of saving princess Rarity were interrupted, as the real Rarity finished the story and politely cleared her throat.

“Well that was a delightful read, wasn’t it darling?” Rarity looked into the eyes of her marefriend of two years.

“It was, but now that I look back on it, it leaves me with a question.” Fluttershy said as her wings shifted a little bit.

“And just what would that question be dear?” Rarity chuckled.

“W-will you be my princess Rarity?” Fluttershy asked as she pulled a small black box from her wing, inside sat an immaculate diamond set on a gold wedding band.
