Anniversary

By: Spartan-Guy 88

“Twilight?” Spike asked, “Don’t you think you’re overreacting a little?”

His question was ignored however as the lavender-coated mare looked between two dresses, one being the dress she wore at the Grand Galloping Gala and the other a simple light blue gown.

“SPIKE!” Twilight yelled, “Which dress should I wear?! Is my Gala dress too flashy for tonight or- wait, WHAT AM I SAYING?! Our six month anniversary is tonight! Maybe I should wear this one… except for the fact that I already wore this one at that opera we went to! SPIKE, HELP ME!”

Spike could not suppress the groan as he gave himself a face-palm. To him, this was all too similar to when Twilight was called to Canterlot for Princess Celestia’s test; shortly before they went to the Crystal Empire for the first time. Just like before, Twilight was in a frantic hurry to prepare for her upcoming event, ignored almost all reason, and was not thinking clearly. The only saving grace was that this was still nowhere near as bad as the “Smarty-Pants Incident” (Something Twilight still to this date preferred not to talk about).

Realizing that Twilight’s brief insanity was only going to get worse, he gave her an answer.

“The one on the right I guess.” He said in a neutral tone.

After nodding frantically, Twilight took a couple of minutes to slip on her dress. She then used her magic to grab a notepad from a nearby table and checked off “FIND SUITABLE DRESS” off the list that was written on it. Above that particular part of the list were other parts that have been checked off.

AWAIT ARRIVAL OF RARITY
ENJOY EVENING

“Hmm…” Twilight thought to herself “…I can’t help but feel as though I forgot something…”

There was no time to investigate however, as she and Spike both heard knocking coming from the front door. Before Twilight went downstairs to greet her, she performed her calming breath technique Cadance taught her. Now prepared to meet her date, she approached the door and opened it.

On the other side was Rarity, wearing a lovely silk red dress and smiling warmly at her.

“Hello my dear Twilight,” Rarity greeted, “Are you ready to leave?”

Just as Twilight was about to say “yes”, it was then that she noticed what she was forgetting; when she saw what was on Rarity’s face.

“MAKEUP!” Twilight yelled, startling both the seamstress and the young dragon, “I knew I was forgetting something! Oh Rarity, I’m so sorry! I was in a bit of a rush to get ready for tonight and it just slipped my mind and-”

Twilight’s rambling was cut off when she felt a pair of warm lips meet hers. After realizing that Rarity was kissing her, Twilight calmed down enough to return the kiss. When Rarity pulled away, she again smiled warmly towards Twilight and spoke to her.

“Twilight, you look absolutely perfect. I honestly don’t care if you have makeup on right now. Because it was when you didn’t have makeup on that I realized that I love you. And I always will.”

After a brief silence, Twilight returned the smile, said to Spike; “Spike, you have a good night; and don’t stay up too late;” and trotted out the door with her marefriend.
