It's been three months since Flutters read the letter and she is finally starting to cope with the fact that her parents are dead. We had been going out for a while now and I think it is time that I proposed to her. Of course I'll need a ring, and I know just where to get one.
I entered the Carousel Boutique with the sound of a small bell following as I called out for the marshmallow unicorn. Soon after I heard her calling from upstairs for me to go to her.
Upon reaching her room, I noticed it was in absolute chaos. Rarity was frantically working on a dress but something was missing.
She had noticed my presence finally when I had moved one of her fabrics. She looked at me and smiled "Oh hello darling" she greeted as if I hadn't been standing there for five minutes, waiting. "To what do I owe your visit"
I told her about my wanting to propose to Flutter shy and she flipped out. She began giggling like a school filly as she hugged me. "Oh , I'm so happy for you two. First you need to get everything ready. Don't worry though, I'll take care of everything."
"Rarity" I said "How is it that you know exactly what people want" we smiled and I was prepared to leave before Rarity stopped me.
"Three things darling. One: You'll need a ring to propose, I'll take care of that. Two: You need to tell the others too about this beforehand."
I nodded as I asked "What's the third thing?"
She looked me dead in the eyes and told me "If you hurt Fluttershy, in any way, you had best learn to run and hide from the elements of harmony."
I gulped as I exited her room. I left the boutique swiftly and headed to the library to tell Twilight.
Later that day
Once I had reached the library, I found not only Twilight, but also the rest of her friends too. I swear unicorns must be psychic. They were all gathered for one of Rainbow's announcements apparently. Whatever, it sure made my mission easier.
Once inside I got an expected reaction.
"Star? What are you doing here?" Spoke the cyan pegasus.
I then proceeded to explain everything I previously spoke to Rarity. This time the reactions were varied.
"Well hot dog. I sure hope for the best for ya."
"Woohoo! OHMYGOSH!IGOTTAMAKEYOUACAKEFORTHEWEDDING!"
"You just better not hurt our Fluttershy, cause you won't be able to out fly me then."
"I'm sure you two will be very happy together."
I had never been more relieved and petrified in my entire life since then.
Until about an hour later...
Rarity had made the ring in an ubeliveable amount of time. Again she warned me of the consequences of ticking them off before I ran to my hopefully fiancé.
She was outside taking care of the animals when I had arrived.
"There you are" Fluttershy said gleefully.
"Hold on a second" I said causing her to stop in her tracks. I pulled out the box Rarity gave me and held it out as I got down on one knee.
"Fluttershy, you help me when I needed you, but I now see that I will always need you by my side. I can't bear to be separated from you. So I would be overjoyed if you would be my wife." I opened the box upon saying the last words to reveal to her the ring. A beautiful silver circlet with a sapphire jewel encrusted in it.
She held her hooves over her mouth in disbelief.
We looked over to the animals who were all making faces that said go for it. Even Angel was rooting for me this time.
She looked back to me and me to her. Our eyes met as I awaited her answer. Finally after a full three minutes she removed her hooves from her mouth to reveal a smile as she began crying. "Yes" was all it took for me to smile even wider than Pinkie Pie ever had as I jumped for joy and hugged her.
Who knew a star... no... a pony could feel so much joy.
