One bang after another went off, broken pieces of white painted clay rained down on the two standing in the middle of a field some distance away from Ponyville.

The smaller of the two was a dragon who was tossing up more disks from the large stack next to him, the other was an alicorn whose horn lit as she sent bolt after bolt to the flying white disks.

"So", Spike began his tone heavily skeptical , "The Solar Guards allowed you to "borrow" several hundred of their clay targets."

Twilight said nothing but focused more on the flying objects.

Having interpreted her non-answer as a "yes", Spike threw a few more disks around. "And this is what you call a good idea for when you're annoyed with Celestia?"

Twilight resigned and answered Spike verbally, "Of course. Much better than actually trying something more...." pausing to think of an appropriate word.

"I think "stupid" would work. Not everything needs a word that one only finds in an obscure dictionary." snarked Spike.

"Keep throwing them Spike." Twilight said responding to his jab.

Spike looked at the disk he held, it was white with a golden sun stamped in the center, its black rim an easy indication to those familiar with them as to what it was. Spike then obliged and tossed a couple more, "Alright so you tell me they let you take some of their very best magic targets."

Twilight nodded, "Of course, I know many of them and I asked nicely."

Spike tossed some more around the field even as he shuddered at her emphasis on "nicely" as he pictured an annoyed alicorn with a blazing horn approaching the Solar Guards asking for target disks.

Before he could send out more disks a golden light enveloped them both and took them and their equipment away from the field. Both landed in Celestia's study, the dragon trying to sort his bearings and the alicorn still looking annoyed.

"Thank you for your help Spike. I will handle it from here." said Celestia who was seated in front of the cold fireplace.

Spike took the hint and quietly left. While Celestia stepped towards the annoyed pony. Her attempt to speak was quickly cut off.

"What are you doing?" asked Twilight in a terse tone.

"I want to talk" was the clipped answer before being interrupted again.

"Oh? About what? How you forgot about it, about what today is."

Celestia hugged Twilight, "If you'll allow me to speak then you'll have your answers."

Twilight nodded.

Celestia sighed, "I did not forget. I remembered and I had something special in mind. Unfortunately I wasn't able to organize things as I usually would have liked to hence the delay and my silence or "forgetfulness" as your would term it. But I ready now, I do hope you'll forgive me."

Twilight took a few deep breaths before she answered, "I forgave you when you forgot about our first anniversary of being together. I forgave you when you almost missed the first vacation we planned together." She paused, "There is nothing to forgive about today; I panicked and quickly accused you of something I thought you didn't do but in fact it seems like you did plan something. I just thought you forgot again, forgot our third anniversary since we started dating."

Celestia nuzzled her, "Today's too special to forget, I have a surprise planned. Will you come with me?"

Twilight returned the nuzzle with a kiss, "Always."
