	Lightning had kept his promise after five years. Through the following years, Lightning and Sweetie were lucky enough to get their Cutie Marks. Sweetie Belle had promised Lightning that she would sing in front of a crowd, and when she did, her Cutie Mark had appeared.

Lightning on the other hand, although he could sing, but his special talent was the guitar. He played it only a few times, and for once in his life he finally realized how good he was and got a Cutie Mark just as Sweetie did when he played in the background in Sweetie's song.

Lightning and Sweetie had also moved in to their own apartment, they both had enough to pay for it so, they went for it.

Lightning laid in bed next to Sweetie, but her back was turned. "Hey..." Lightning went over, wrapping his hooves around her. He looked over at the clock and smiled. 12:00 AM

Sweetie gasped at the sudden touch, she was already awake, she quickly wiped away tears and turned to him. "W-what is it?" She asked.

Lightning smiled. "Happy 5th Year Anniversary." He whispered.

Sweetie turned her head, kissing him softly. "I'm glad you remembered..." She smiled.

"Please, I would never forget the day I started dating you..." He whispered. "Now, let's get some sleep, we've got a big day tomorrow."

Lightning laid back down, turning slightly, opening a drawer slowly and pulling out a small black box, inside was an engagement ring.

Sweetie had her back turned still, more tears began to shed. She was going to tell Lightning tonight, even if he gets angry or not.

Lightning put away the ring, he turned his head to Sweetie, then cuddled against her.

His affection was going to make it hard for Sweetie to tell him, it might hurt him as much as it hurt herself.





"Here are your milkshakes!" Pinkie said excitedly, putting two milkshakes near them and darted back to the kitchen.

"Thank... you..." Lightning smiled, but faded when she disappeared. "Huh..." He smiled, turning to Sweetie. But his smile faded seeing a sad look on her face. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Sweetie jumped slightly, shaking her head. "Nothing..." She sighed.

"I need to tell you something..." "I have a something for you..." They both said at the same time.

"You first..." Lightning insisted, leaning forwards, he was a little worried for her.

"Lightning..." She whimpered, looking down, tears starting to shed again. "I have... something shocking..." She sighed, she took a deep breath and went for it.

"I'm pregnant..."

Lightnings eyes widened and looked down, Sweetie looked down, expecting the worse.

"That's amazing..." He mumbled, looking up at Sweetie with a smile.

Sweetie looked up, seeing he was mad. "Your... not mad?" She asked, wiping away tears.

"No... I'm not..." He smiled even more, he opened his wing and pulled out a tiny black box. But kept it under the table so Sweetie wouldn't see. "Because, I had a question to ask you." He smiled.

Sweetie looked up at him, her smile starting to show. "What is it?" She asked.

Lightning lifted his hoof and opened the box.

Sweetie gasped looking at it, it dawned on her, a bigger smile planted on her face.

"Sweetie Belle... Will you marry me?"

Sweetie giggled, wrapping her hooves around him with a tight grip. "Yes! I will!" She cried. "I was so worried you thought me being pregnant would scar you... I love you so much..."

Lightning smiled, hugging her back. "I love you too... You remember that promise?" He asked her.

Sweetie smiled. "I'm guessing we are going shopping huh?" She asked.

"Or maybe we could skip that one..." Lightning gave a sly smirk.

"Well then the promise wouldn't be fulfilled since we did go shopping when I made the request." She whispered.

"True, alright. Let's finish our milkshakes and we will be on our way." He said.





Lightning and Sweetie had gotten married, everyone went, luckily Pinkie planned it. A few months after the wedding Sweetie gave birth to Night Light, the promise became a tradition, every 5 years Sweetie and Lightning would go on the same date.

Danger on the other hand, had moved to Canterlot, determined to change who he was. He never acted like an idiot and had fallen in love with a filly just as bad as he used to be, he found somepony that was just like him.

Lighting's mother found her dream job, she found out that her magic was needed for the Mayor, as her secretary. She lived alone for the rest of her life, but would always help out as a grandmother.

And the years would go on, with no regrets behind them.

THE END!
